The Mastermind Group
The mastermind group is something that Napoleon Hill refers to in Think & Grow Rich
That is the second most important chapter in that book…
The biggest challenge that most people have when they try and do something new is that they have to do everything alone. This is why most people give up and learn to fit in and lose their beautiful personality in the process.
This is the saddest thing that I see, when a beautiful person with great potential gives up and learns to be just like everyone else just to fit in, they could only take the loneliness for so long before they cracked and gave up on their dreams.
It doesn’t have to be like that, you can achieve your dreams and goals without support, but if you can cultivate a group of like minded people that have big dreams then you can motivate, support and encourage each other.
If you’re trading in a group it’s much easier to know what works and what doesn’t.
If you’re exercising with a group of people that are as fit and healthy as you then you can motivate and encourage each other to train harder, run faster, exert more strength and get stronger.
If you’re building a empire, studying to become a doctor or trying to make it in the entertainment industry the formula is still the same.
- Decide what you want
- Take action consistently and make it happen
- When you’ve achieved your dream keep doing what you did to make it big in the first place
Why do great singers and bands lose everything when they sack their managers?
Why do great entrepreneurs lose all their money when they divorce the person that helped them make it?
No one can achieve success without emotional support, without emotional support people that are completely healthy suddenly get sick and die. Without emotional support people get depressed and end up on medication for the rest of their lives. Without emotional support people lie awake at night wondering and analysing things that don’t really bother them, they’re just lonely. But not the kind of loneliness that you’re thinking of.
You can be surrounded by and living with people and still feel lonely, as though there were 2 parts of you, one that is happy and carefree, and another that is anxious and desperate to please others. Never can the two meet, for as long as you believe that you can’t be happy, carefree and please others.
This is why I love trading, by making money trading I can be around people because I want to, most people spend 40 hours a week around people that they have to be around, they learn to tolerate these people because they have to. I want to spend my time around people that love and appreciate me for who I am, not just for what I bring to the table.
I could have all the plastic surgery in the world, have all the money in the world, have all the fame in the world and none of that would really help me if I didn’t feel that I was appreciated for who I am underneath all that…
As it stands I have had no plastic surgery….yet! Have enough money to be happy and have a nice lifestyle, and no fame!
The bottom line is that everyone wants to feel accepted, and if we train ourselves to only tolerate kindness in our personal lives this although it sounds pretty won’t help.
Real unconditional love of others with healthy boundaries is the secret to lifelong contentment, we will always have challenges, but the biggest challenge of all is staying in touch with who we truly are on a deeper level, by making money online you can extricate yourself from the negative aspects of social life and have the freedom to socialise because you want to, with who you want to, when you want to.
This is true happiness, when you’re healthy and prosperous doing work you love and getting paid what you’re worth and not a dollar less.
But first you have to know your value and ask through your words and actions for what you want, ask for more of yourself whilst loving yourself as you are now.
Have no expectations of others but if they do not want to meet your expectations let them go, it is not about what someone does, it’s about what they intend. If they intend to help and serve genuinely but they fail, they haven’t really failed because they still care.
If you make money doing what you love then congratulations keep up the great work, if you haven’t then start trading and persevere, and most importantly learn to manage your emotions.
It’s always easy to make money trading when you’re happy, so make sure that you start each trading day with a routine that makes you feel good about yourself.
Some people need 2 hours, some need 10 minutes, know what you need and do it each day before you start work.
