Many of you set goals and write down as you've been taught in goal setting books
HAVE:
I want a new car...
I want a great spouse ...
I want a great house ...
I want a great vacation...
I want a great body...
:::
DO:
So I (Painfully implied) will cold call tell times a week.
So I will (grudingly) will talk to 10 realtors
So i will (sheepishly) ask 10 investors for money in a week.
So I will (regretfully) not eat so much french fries, ice cream, chocolate
So I will (hatefully) lift weights 3 times a day.
BE:
Happy.
or Be a millionaire.
or Be a chick magnet.
This is the mindset of a the average American. They are climbing uphill trying to be successful.
=====
This is the mindset of a FAST TRACKER. Once I got this, I mean really got this in my heart and soul it was easy. Money was flying at me. I didn't have to advertise. My business for over a decade is all word of mouth. What is that mindset?
It's not HAVE,DO,BE its BE,DO,HAVE.
It's focus on the BEING, not the HAVING. Then you will DO the things with much better results. And you will HAVE lots of stuff. Warning the HAVE will be different then what you initially thought. I fast tracker spends little time on the have.
===
For example, lets take real estate investing. A new investor wants to do preforeclosure. He/She..
Focuses on all the things he wants to HAVE.
So he will grudingly Do the door knocking and cold calling.
But a new investor (cough cough, 2nd year in RE investing) somehow got into courses like Great Life Foundation (in Salt Lake City) and discovered all his energy should be spent on the BEING and Does things with a different energy.
BEING:
1) Focuses all my energy on who I want to "BE".
I spent countless hundreds of hours on this in my early years of real estate investing.
i.e. What do I not like about myself...shy, selfish, guarded
What traits do I admire in others. Self assured, caring, etc...
I want to be LOVING or ABUNDANT or GIVING or CARING or EMPOWERING.
Yes, Les Gee is a Loving EMPOWERING POWERFUL MAN and he is it right now.
Not later, but NOW!
I developed a vision statement, mission statement, and purpose statement.
Like a successful company you have to have a business plan. A mission statement.
Why do you want to do what you do? What for? What MUST you life stand for?
2) So Les "DO"es the things that are EMPOWERING, LOVING, ABUNDANT.
I go door knocking to assist the homeowner from losing their home.
What if there were 10 competitors knocking before me? I'm the only one coming from a place of helping THEM, not me. They are focused on their new car, I am focused on being LOVING. There is no competition. People (homeonwers) are NOT STUPID. There is something different about this cat standing in front of me. Why is he caring so much? What is it about him? Okay, lets hear him out.
3) Little energy is spent my "HAVing". "Being" is the success, but funny thing is the community gives me evidence with "MONEY". As you become more success, I spend less time and energy on what to HAVE. My have is powerful have. A community (friends) around me that are powerful and making a difference in this world.
Assisting others in ways they never dreamed.
I've been oftened asked, when is enough enough? When do you stop working?
Les thinks, " I don't work? That sounds like a chore?"
Les responds, " I stop when I feel like not helping anyone."

There are no accidents in this world. You get what you deserve. You get what the universe gives you.

Heres another example of BE DO HAVE.
So much time and energy is spent by Americans on losing weight and think HAVE DO BE
I want to have a knock out body, so I will able to attract the girls/boys. Little time is spent on the BEing.
Instead, my personal mission statement focuses on the BEING
I want to BE there for my unborn grandkids. I want to share with them the ABUNDANCE that I've learned. I want to EMPOWER my kids and spouse and others to their own greatness.
So i DO things with a different energy.
I found Basketball. Being playing 2 times a week and working out a 3rd at my young age. I love the insights it brings. Why is John playing small? i.e. he is such a good shooter but doesn't shot enough for fear of failure. Why is James being so selfish? Taking 80% of the shots.
Hmm, young guy in his 20's is guarding me. What do I do? Oh, he's got sprinter legs. Lets tire him out. The joy of hearing him curse and easy layup miss on the offensive side, after running around on defense trying to guard me.
Another selfish guy is guarding me. Doesn't want to me to score and hence is face guarding me. Meaning not looking at the ball. Okay, I'll draw him to the 3 point line and let my team play 4 on 4. I know that it is easier for my team to win playing 1 on 1 vs 2 on 2. And 2 on 2 is easier than 3 on 3. And so on. I let this selfish player that is a soloist shut me out on offense. Or maybe I'll ask my teammate to set a pick on him or have my point guard throw it over his head as I go to the low block.
Reading health books, "The China Study" .... really all you have to do is keep animal protein down to 5% of your diet, eat fruits, veggies, whole grains, and nuts and diseases of affluence go away? Fascinating.
The results of the HAVE are ...
I'm under 150 pounds. I'm a sought after basketball coach.
I love the kids that I teach. I will probably live longer then I would have.
I have more friends from basketball. I've learned how basketball or anything you do is a reflection of your beliefs.
===
Good luck on your journey as you focus on the BEing. You will not be disappointed.
The irony is that if you are successful financially, what you think you wanted you actually did not want at all. Material possessions will hopefully have less and less pull on you.
