Warriors - they're waiting for YOU to show up and lead them

Fellow Warriors,

A couple days ago I posted a poll asking people to share what monthly income level they are aiming to reach through IM. Over 70% of poll responders chose the top option, which was listed as $10,000+ per month of income.

Several people commented that their monthly income goals were much higher than 10k per month, although the poll was really designed for newer folks.

Regardless, based on the overwhelming number of people who clearly want to make a significant 5 or even 6 figure monthly income through IM, I was left with the following question in my mind:

If people truly want to earn that level of income, why are most here playing so SMALL?

If you look around you'll see it's true. Look at the majority of the dialogue here, heck even the majority of WSO's here. People are selling themselves short at every turn.

Instead of using our God-given gifts, skills and talents to make the difference we know we can make for customers, our default is often to find another marketer's product to affiliate market because it's "easier".

Instead of digging deep into the real wants and needs of a niche, our default is often to create surface-level "solutions" that look and smell like they will make a difference, but often fall way short of providing any serious help.

Instead of playing big by charging what we're really worth and providing far greater value to a smaller group of dedicated customers, our default is often to charge much less and take the typical mass-market approach.

I'm certainly guilty of these behaviors as well.

To my thinking this goes even further and has everything to do with self-worth. In other words, do you feel you truly have something valuable to offer your customers? If not I guarantee you the behaviors above - or ones like them - are present in your business.

This also has to do with what you believe YOU deserve. Even if you say you are aiming for $10K, $20K, $50K, $100K or more per month....do you truly feel you *deserve* to make that much?

I hope the answer is "yes" for you because it should be. Yet the ultimate proof as to whether we believe this for ourselves can be seen in our behaviors toward our business and our customers.

We must acknowledge there is a prevailing belief system that says you have to get to point A before you can get to point B, C or D.

I'm here to tell you that this thinking is nothing more than societal conditioning. It is only true if one decides it's true.

We chide the gurus because their massive success is 'proof' they are "opportunist" and "greedy". But the truth is their massive success is a direct result of giving up beliefs. The reason for their success is they've given up the belief that you have to go from point A to B to C to D.

They've done what every successful person ultimately does: they've removed self-imposed limitations.

When this happens the sky is the limit. When this happens you don't have to just take steps anymore, you begin taking massive leaps.

Here's the bottom line:

There is a group of customers out there waiting for YOU to show up and lead them.

They need your leadership. They need your gifts. They are the perfect audience to benefit from your skills, your talents, your guidance.

Above all else they need you to play BIG and not small.

Go forth and lead them. Yes, right now. They're waiting for you.

Best regards,
Ken
