Masterpiece or Mayhem?
“I challenge you to make your life a masterpiece. I challenge
you to join the ranks of those people who live
what they teach, who walk their talk.”
— Tony Robbins: Self-help speaker and author
It is actually coincidence that two quotes in a row are from Tony Robbins. Possibly because I believe this year, specifically this holiday season, you need encouragement and inspiration. What is holding you back from living life as a masterpiece? If you need to, stop for a few minutes and write down those obstacles. Then turn the paper over and write down all you are thankful for and the opportunities you’ve taken advantage of this year. Is the obstacle list longer than the thankful and opportunity side? If you answered yes, continue to Google positive thoughts and ideas and allow all that is good to penetrate your thoughts on a daily, and then on an hourly basis. It is crucial that your inner self talk is positive. Be diligent and never ceasing until you have mastered this vital skill. It can be the difference between a replica and a masterpiece!
Life is precious and life is short. Yeah, yeah, you heard it all before. I mean it, stop and take a look around. More than ever this year, each and every one of us must stop and evaluate how we got where we are today – good or bad place – and be thankful. I challenge you to see beyond yourself and your circumstance of today and see the people in your life, your neighborhood, and your city. They have unmet needs, lack motivation, and feel discouraged. Our attitude is a choice. Choose thankfulness and gratitude today and then share it with someone you encounter, preferably a stranger. . . It’s more rewarding – they won’t think you are buttering them up for something!
Creating your masterpiece life isn’t something you do in a day or a month. It’s the chipping away of what doesn’t match up with your vision. Do what you say and say what you mean and you will wake up one day and realize you are living the dream you worked for every day, through every choice. Now go encourage someone else, even if all you can squeeze out is a smile!

To Choose or Not to Choose
“How am I going to live today in order to
create the tomorrow I’m committed to?”
- Tony Robbins: Self-help speaker and author
What do you think of when you read that quote? Often it is easy for us to merely “get through” each day if we allow these immediate troubles to affect our choices. While it is important to address what is happening around you, it is also important to keep perspective and remember where you are headed. Relationships are messy. Friends and family can pull at us to accommodate their agenda. We all make choices for the good of not only ourselves, but those around us. A husband checks with a wife before making a major purchase, a friend needs help moving, your kids need a ride to practice. These are all good things, integrated into our life’s plan and goals, and called relationship building.
But at what point have you ventured off the track of relationship building and diverted straight towards following everyone’s path . . . neglecting your own? There are no excuses, only choices we each make that lead us to where we are. If you are not where you expected to be two years ago, what are you doing about it? Are you blaming the economy, your past employer, your spouse, someone or some other event? As life changes, so do we, like it or not. Take a few minutes and look at where you are today and where you want to go. What is standing between those two points? We cannot control others, but we can control our actions and reactions to the events unfolding in our environment.
Each time you have a decision in front of you, pause and think before reacting with a response. Take a look at your options and consciously choose that which will move you closer to where you want to be. It’s ok to say no from time to time. It’s also realistic to know that there are times when you must choose what takes you farther away from your goal, but you see that it does, and the next choice puts you back in forward motion. Share a comment about one of your goals and what you are doing to achieve it.
We are looking forward to having guests from around the country join us in Spokane, WA this weekend as they follow through on their decision to learn directly from Lee Arnold! Lee will be taking a bus full of entrepreneurial minded people on a tour to view a number of houses on the foreclosure list. He will teach them how to evaluate data, contact Realtors or homeowners, and how to put a deal together, benefiting the homeowner and themselves, in their business.
Did you miss your opportunity to attend The Home Buying Tour? Start planning now for a March trip to San Diego, CA to attend the next Home Buying Tour or call 800-558-6092 to be added to our email list for more details!

Be Useful
“It is the people who can do nothing who find nothing to do, and the secret to happiness in this world is not only to be useful, but to be forever elevating one’s uses.”
~ Sarah Orne Jewett – 1849-1909, Author
What better way to be useful than to get involved. Community service and other volunteer organizations are where most people begin when they feel it’s “time to get involved” and be useful. I agree. However, I also agree there is no better place to start than right where you are. Can you say with all certainty that you are fully applying yourself in all your endeavors? Entrepreneurs are often idea people who stretch themselves thin with numerous ideas taking form. It’s wise to continually evaluate these ideas, knowing that only a few will bring success. As I’ve shared before, failure is part of the success process.
Where are your skills and talents most useful to others and your upward mobility? If you can’t answer that, stop and do it immediately. You can filter where you put in the majority of your efforts and where you choose to bring in other talented hands achieving what makes them most useful. Are you seeing a pattern here? Being useful is not about “doing something”, it’s about doing specific tasks that bring benefit to yourself and others. It’s often this simple idea of doing what you do best, that is easily forgotten when your life gets moving fast.
Real estate investing has many areas where you can apply your expertise. Coming up November 12-15th, Lee Arnold is calling you to Spokane, WA where you can put your talents to work and open your mind to learning from a man who knows where he is most useful to his family and community. He doesn’t open this opportunity up often, and he provides you with leads, transportation and education. You end the weekend understanding the process of gathering data and evaluating which deal is worthy. Want more?

Leadership Reigns
Before coaching or exerting any effort as a leader, ask yourself these three questions: 1.) Who am I trying to convince? 2.) What do I want them to do? 3.) Why do I want them to do it?
~ Linda Byars Swindling
That statement applies to any area of your life. Leadership is not inclusive to ‘the office’ or your profession. Think about it. Who am I trying to convince? A teenager, neighbor, spouse, or even, yes, you! Leadership is a character trait that needs developing when you choose to step out as an entrepreneur. Let’s go back to question number one. Who is your target audience? It’s important to define who you want to reach and adjust your leadership language accordingly. Each of the examples given has a different relationship with you and therefore, you must know the language to capture their attention. Think about the similarities rather than the differences, if you are leading a large group of people.
Question two is the call to action. You may have a great idea or product, but if you don’t tell them what you want them to do, you may lose them. No matter how obvious the action you require, buy, watch, listen, etc., you must directly communicate exactly what it is you want them to do. Question three is the qualifier of why you want the action to those you are addressing. Remember question one? How are you meeting their need or resolving their pain? Communicating through stories and examples that create a picture in the listeners mind are effective with any group.
To excel in life and build wealth, leadership development must be a continual part of your assent. Whether you are just beginning to look at what makes a leader or you currently lead others, leaders stay connected with other leaders. Lee Arnold’s Las Vegas WealthShop was overflowing with leaders exhibiting leadership character and extremely successful! Those in attendance are fired up and know the importance of being together, in person, to inspire, support and learn from one another. There is only ONE MORE opportunity to learn from Lee Arnold’s leaders this year. November 12-15 in Spokane, WA is the Home Buyers Tour. If you haven’t heard about it yet, keep reading this week or

How Lucky are You?
“I’ve found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck,
take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often.”
— Brian Tracy
Are you endlessly reading and researching or are you getting out there and putting SOMETHING into action? It is an easy thing to look around you and say, “He’s so lucky, things just seem to work out for him.” Maybe. But have you ever thought that maybe it was being in the right place at the right time? Opportunity is literally everywhere. It’s awareness of your goals, seeking what you need, and daily focus on where you are headed and what you need to get you there. Soon, YOU will be the one with the luck!
With the economic and political changes continuing to happen, this opens more opportunity. Your research and reading should be in areas of interest to you, with the intent of forward thinking. What product or services are people needing now, due to economic or political changes? Lee Arnold is a man of ideas and action. He tries, fails, tries again and again until success is achieved. He listens, reads, consults, and watches what changes and where new opportunities are sure to open for sharp thinking individuals. It’s no secret he has valuable experience and expertise to share through his products, with his students. He earned the right to share with you from the action he takes, which may look like luck to you. To Lee Arnold, it’s a myriad of situations and ideas all forming together to create success, not through luck that you may perceive.
People across the country are hurting. How can you help them? What do they need? We know the credit card companies (i.e. banks) are utilizing their small print in the contracts that so many of us blindly agreed to. Many are now being stung by the banks’ ability to adjust our charges, fees, and interest rates. That naturally leads to financial strains on many households. How can you take action? By learning loan modifications, you may be able to help strengthen their financial position. Maybe they have tried that route and did not prevail against their lender. Short Sales may appear to you as something only licensed real estate professionals partake in, but Lee Arnold can show you how to help here too! Think you are out of ways to help your financially strapped neighbors and friends? Not at all! How about all those individuals lacking understanding and information on what they need to do if they receive a notice of default and find their home is in the foreclosure process? You got it! Lee Arnold has a program to teach you how to help these individuals too!
It’s about action people. Reading and researching has its place, but action is where you will see luck, isn’t really luck, as much as it is being aware of and looking for the opportunities surrounding you daily. Move into action through purchasing a program Lee Arnold offers and if you need another boost, he also offers one-on-one or twice a month coaching calls. Don’t allow yourself to feel defeated because of the changing economic and political actions you have no control over. Take control of where YOU want to go and see the numerous opportunities appear right in front of you. Soon, you will be that lucky person your friends and neighbors are talking about!

Freedom of a Millionaire
Where are you on a Friday afternoon? Working for yourself, in your time schedule, or at the beckon call of a boss? The freedom of working for yourself earns you the right and responsibility to plan your schedule. For Lee Arnold, October means a trip to the pumpkin patch with his wife and three small children. You are thinking, well then he just works all day Saturday to make it up. Not necessarily! Freedom comes with responsibility. Many millionaires are passionate about their work, the thrill of big deals and new breakthroughs. But just as prevalent is their desire and love for family time. It’s the joy of being able to schedule family time when they need you, instead of when your boss says you are free to go.
I ran across this article in USA Today as I wondered who else might be heading to the pumpkin patch:
Thad Starr, of Pleasant Hill, Ore., tips his hat after winning in the World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off contest in Half Moon Bay, Calif., Monday, Oct. 13, 2008. Starr’s pumpkin weighed 1,528 pounds (693 kg) and beat the local contest record. (AP Photo/Paul Sakuma) Click the picture to read the full article. What is your dream? Hopefully it is to plan your days and life around what you are passionate about and take the steps necessary to reach your goals. America is a land of great opportunity! That opportunity is all around you…take a look and then take back your life!
How Much is Enough?
The sum of wisdom is that time is never lost that is devoted to work.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do people tell you that you work too much? That you really need to stop and enjoy yourself? They should. You are on the right path to achieving your dreams and pushing to the next level up when you appear unstoppable to those in your life. Millionaires are focused. They know what they want and they will fail a hundred times if they know in their heart it’s achievable. It’s important to have others around you that believe in you and where you are headed. We’d like to believe we can do things on our own and that is partially true. It’s your above and beyond efforts that get you to the next level. Having people standing behind you, supporting those long hours, adds to your success.
Mastermind groups can add to family support or replace it if you are single. These groups are created from like-minded professionals that meet periodically to support, encourage, challenge, and brainstorm business ideas and/or plans. Find people with expertise and backgrounds different than your own, yet headed in the same direction, it will serve you best. The collective failures and successes will shorten your path to the next level. It’s the number of people in the group as much as it is what they bring to the table. Choose carefully.
The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.
- Donald Kendall
Is this group really important? Absolutely! How much is enough? When you are intently focused on your dream, everything in your world will be filtered through the dream. You will love the life you are living, the long hours, the many collaborative meetings, and WORK will be enjoyable. Millionaires don’t sit around spending their money, they only sit around when they are deep in thought. Reaching where only 3% of the U.S. achieves financially is a small percentage because so few really understand the work and effort it takes to achieve and sustain their millions.
Where do you meet millionaires to grasp the focus and intensity I speak about? Come to Las Vegas this month! October 23, 24, and 25 several millionaires will be gathering to share not only how they achieved their wealth, but will encourage you to challenge them at the 3% level. Is your focus is real estate investment including short sales, hard money, and foreclosures, or loan modifications, credit repair, or social media advantages? Then you must be there! Not only will you learn from these millionaires, it’s an opportunity to network with others headed in the same direction, that may be exactly what you are looking for to join your Mastermind group!
