Focus On What You Want, Because What You Focus On Grows

Focus On What You Want, Because What You Focus On Grows

Some basic entrepreneurship wisdom today. What you focus on expands and grows. So remember to check in with yourself every day to make sure you focus on what you want. Some describe it as the law of attraction or manifestation. But really, it’s just basic common sense in business…

“Good morning everybody. Dean here of course. Welcome to another episode of The Drive. As you can see, bit of a different setting. I am inside Internet Profits HQ today. I’d love to say this was planned but, quite frankly, it’s not.

I was actually in the office till around about 1:00 a.m. this morning, and I forgot to take the camera home with me. So when I arrived here today, I had to grab the camera and get ready to shoot this for you.

I want to tell you about something pretty exciting from yesterday. So we opened the doors to a one-of-a-kind, very unique coaching opportunity that we made available to a small number of people. Existing clients, existing partners of ours – Certified Partners…

The Exciting News Is That 14 Or 15 Of Those 20 Spots Went Yesterday At $5,000 Each

It was a program that, by all accounts, should have been priced at least twenty thousand dollars. But we wanted to make…

An Irresistible Offer For The Outcome Of Impact, Rather Than Income

And whilst whilst the income is nice for the business, it allows us to facilitate, support and do even more amazing things for our customers and clients.

We’re really looking to help the 20 people that we opened the program, over the coming weeks and months ahead, to really get to their goals. To strategically put together a plan with my help, and then be implementing that plan on a consistent basis.

The exciting news is, we opened up 20 spots and I think, as of right now since yesterday, 14 or 15 of those spots went. Five thousand dollars each. So obviously you can do the maths on that. That’s pretty exciting.

Ultimate Funnels Solve Multiple Problems, Offering Higher And Higher Premium Solutions

But more importantly, it’s exciting for those that are in the program. Because they now have the help that they need, and that’s ultimately what it’s about. Business is all about finding ways to solve the problems that people have.

And I’m in a very unique and and blessed position. Over the last 10+ years of my life I have dedicated all of my time and energy into learning how to use the Internet to sell products – build audiences, drive traffic, follow up with those audiences, and ultimately convert them into sales.

Now, We Have What We Call ‘Ultimate Sales Funnels’

…that lead people through a systematic process, to keep solving more and more of their problems, whilst offering higher and higher premium solutions.

So it’s exciting that we get to work with these people now. I get to really help them solve the problems they have, to get them to that next level. And that’s what I’m more excited about other than anything else.

But what I want to say to you is… Y’know, I left my job in 2009 to pursue this whole venture that’s become far bigger, far greater, and far more purposeful than I could have ever imagined.

When I Left My Job I Had ‘Believe And Achieve’ Tattooed Upon My Skin

And I remember when I actually left my job, I had this tattooed upon my skin. I don’t have tattoos, but I believed so much in altering my mind and believing in myself in order to achieve, that I had ‘Believe and Achieve’ put onto me for life.

Because I truly believe that what you focus on is what you get. And a lot of people focus on what they don’t want. They think by focusing on what they don’t want, it’ll help them avoid it.

Focus On What You Want, Because What You Focus On Grows

But what I’ve come to realise over the years is actually by focusing on what you don’t want, you’re still focusing on the negative. You’re focusing on the thing that you don’t want.

So imagine you’ve got what you DO want right here, and what you don’t want over there. Instead of forgetting about what you don’t want, and going all-in with full belief on what you DO want – the outcome you’re looking for, the outcome you desire – and focusing in on that… A lot of people just say, “Well, over there is what I don’t want.”

“Don’t Want This, Don’t Want That.” Okay, What DO You Want… “I Don’t Know!”

In fact, if you ask people even a silly question… Imagine you are with a group of friends. How many times has this happened, right? You’ll be able to see this in full perspective now…

How many times have you been with other people, and whether it’s a spouse, a friend, a group of friends, family. And let’s just say you’ve decided that you’re going out for food, rather than cook at home.

How many times has somebody said, “Where would you like to go and eat?” And everybody’s like, “Oh I don’t know. I can’t decide. You choose.” Then you say, “Well, what about here?” And they’re like, “Oh no, I don’t want that.”

People Find Be Easy To Tell You What They DON’T Want…

…in that situation. They’re like, “Well I don’t want to go for Italian.” Or, “I don’t want to go for sushi.” Or, “I don’t want to go for steak, or seafood.” And you’re like, “Okay, well what DO you want?” And they’re like, “I don’t know!”

So the point I’m making is that people find it easy to focus on what they don’t want, but not so easy to focus on what they do want. And the reality is, as I just said, you get what you focus on.

I Wanted To Fill All 20 Spots In One Day – That Was All I Was Focused On

So you’ve got to find a way to alter your mindset and the way you view things, to think about what you DO want. And focus your energies on that, and the outcome…

Find Your Reason Why: A Short Motivational Speech From Dean Holland

Find Your Reason Why: A Short Motivational Speech From Dean Holland

Do you know your “Why?” Dean Holland gives a short motivational speech here about the need to find your reason why and doing what it takes, at the end of his trip to Russell Brunson’s ‘Mastermind’ workshop for online entrepreneurs back in 2018…

“Good morning, welcome to another episode of The Drive. Dean Holland here. So today is my last morning here in Boise, Idaho. I’m about to set off back home. And what a trip it has been!

We’ve discussed so many different things… The direction of our “Just The Tips” podcast that I do with James Friel, with whom I’m staying with over here.

We’ve also discussed my webinar, which is coming out as, “The Best Webinar Ever!” So much. Gosh! My brain is fried.

Only YOU Can Change The Things That Need To Be Changed

So I just wanted to come on here to say, “Hi”, and give you a brief update on where I’m at. I’m literally leaving Boise in, like, two hours. I’ll be getting on a plane to start my journey back to the UK.

And I know I said this the other day, but I really want to emphasise this…

You Have To Be Willing To Do What It Takes In Your Business

Now for some of you that’s going to mean investing in a mentor. For some of you that’s going to mean travelling to an event. For others that’s going to be working and getting more focused. Or breaking bad habits that you’ve currently got.

But the bottom line is… Only YOU can change the things that need to be changed. No one can force you. No one can make you do it. The only way that you can find the strength to do it, is to understand your ‘why’ – find your reason why.

What Are Your Reasons Why? Find Them! Dig Deep!

Last night, I phoned back to the UK and spoke to my mum, and spoke to my fiance. Y’know, for me it’s all about family, and providing, and giving them the life they deserve, as well as myself.

And so you’ve got to find YOUR reason why, to be able to do this. Maybe you’ve got children and grandchildren. Perhaps you don’t like who you work for. Or even just don’t like just working for someone else.

Dig Deep And Find Your Reason Why

What are your reasons why? Find them. Dig deep. Find your reason why. And then do what it takes to make it happen, to change your life…

Online Business Motivation: How To Avoid Becoming Rich And Miserable

Online Business Motivation: How To Avoid Becoming Rich And Miserable

Just getting rich isn’t enough, even though it may seem like it when you’re poor. Here’s a salutary tale from Internet Profits CEO Dean Holland, which should serve as strong online business motivation for those of us working hard to build a better life…

“2016, I think this was the year where this was happening. My business was, in a financial sense, in the most successful position it’s ever been.

And I think one of the misconceptions that I certainly had in my life is that… When you have all the money, and you can afford anything that you’ve ever sought to strive to have… You think that you’ll never have any problems.

You’ll think that money is the answer to all of your issues, and all of the problems that you’re facing.

One Of The Scariest Things In The World Is…

When you get all the money, and you find that actually this wasn’t necessarily everything that I thought it was going to be.

You Could Say Financially, “He’s Rich!” But Actually, I Was Miserable

And I found myself in a position where, yes… You could say financially, “He’s rich!”

But actually, I was miserable. I couldn’t actually bring myself to turn on the computer. I was just laying on the sofa at home every day, watching daytime television. Wearing joggers and crappy clothes, and just lying around being miserable.

And I guess, to a degree, maybe even going through a certain level of depression in my business. Because, what I found was that actually, I was lacking a purpose, I was lacking vision, I wasn’t feeling fulfilled

I wasn’t necessarily even serving the right type of customers that I wanted to serve. And I want you to understand that, if you are just striving for money in your business….

WHY Do You Want Your Money? What’s Your Online Business Motivation?

And that’s what you think is the complete answer to all of your problems… Yes, having money is better than not having money, of course right? Don’t mistake what I’m saying.

Online Business Motivation Tip

But what I want you to understand is that you have to have a reason behind that. What I guess I’m getting at is, you have to have reasons why… Why do you want your money? What are your goals?

And not just, “What are your goals?”… WHY do you want them?

Perhaps you are striving to build a business as an affiliate marketer. And you’re saying to yourself, “I need to make a million dollars a year to be fulfilled.” Well, why? Do you really need that?….

Two Ways To Change Your Emotional State And Get Into The Zone

Two Ways To Change Your Emotional State And Get Into The Zone

Are you sick and tired of getting bogged down with negative and unproductive emotional states? Here’s a couple of powerful and immediately effective ways to change your emotional state and get into the zone…

“I want to talk to you about getting in the zone and changing your frame of mind.

When you are pressured or stressed, worried or concerned, or you have a lot going on, or feel overwhelmed or any kind of emotional state that you might be in… Any kind of negative emotional state… You’ve got to be able to switch that.

Find A Trigger That Can Help You To Switch In An Instant

You’ve got to find a trigger that can help you to switch that in an instant. I was just playing loud music before I started The Drive. Listening to some upbeat music – obviously not to everyone’s taste.

But I find one of the…

Most Powerful Ways To Change Your Emotional State

…is sound, is audio. It can change you fast.

Think about this… How many times did you hear a song and you say, “Oh my gosh, this takes me right back to that time and place”? Y’know what I mean?

And so you’ve got to find your thing that changes and triggers an improvement in your emotional state.

Another One Is…

…posture. Like, how you’re sitting. A lot of people, if they’re feeling down or anything like that, they’ll sit slumped and they’ll be like, “Ugh!”

So sit up straight, shoulders back, head high. It can help to put yourself in a different frame of mind, a different emotional state.

Got A Full-Time Job, But Also Want To Have Your Own Online Business?

When you’ve got these negative states… Maybe you’re just tired even. Perhaps you’re not feeling any negative emotional state – like being stressed, angry, frustrated, or overwhelmed. Maybe it’s simply just that you’re tired or exhausted.

If I go back to when I was in the earliest stages of getting things going for my business. There was a time, obviously as it probably is for nearly everyone, where you’re juggling multiple things.

Meaning, you’ve got a full-time job that you’re going to. But maybe you’ve also…

Got This Desire To Have Your Own Online Business?

And so you’re going to work full-time in the day. You come home and maybe you’ve got family, maybe you’ve got children.

You’ve Got To Be Able To Switch Out Of That Low Emotional State

I remember that for me – I didn’t have children, but I had a dog, which is kind of similar in a way, y’know, or maybe not. I had a Labrador at the time, that had a lot of energy. So I get home and have to walk him, then eat some dinner – got to give myself some energy, some food.

And then I’d be sitting down from around about 8 pm, working on my online business until the early hours of the morning a lot of times. Then getting up at 6 am again.

So for at least a few months and years, I was in a certain position where I was probably sleeping anywhere from three to six hours a night. I was tired all the time.

But if you’re working towards something, you’ve got to be able to…
