Hey there, 

So yesterday I got a call from one of our members at Expert Business School.

I'm talking about the uber wonderful Funke Roberts, who specializes in helping you look 10 years younger.

Anyway...

She's written a book (21 Days To Younger Skin) that she's excited about launching in Staten Island, New York.

She's got people coming in from pretty much every where and if you happen to

be around...you're invited.

She was excited because once she committed to taking action, things just fell into place on their own.

Help came...

Questions got answered...

All because she had the courage to act in spite of her fears and concerns.

Oh by the way she immortalized my name on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. So if you ever are on the walk...look out for it.

And she's not the only one to show courage or gratitude and appreciation.

A few days back Dr. Stephen Michael shared with me how back when he was just starting out, my free video series on VIP Branding helped him lay the structure for what he now does....

By the way he runs FORDAX Business School which will soon be offering MBA programs and one of the best known public speaking schools in Abuja, Nigeria.

Then there's the beautiful Ruqayyah who sometime last year was a part of our Making Impossible Happen program.

She had a goal I can't share specifics about but I can share worried she was about making it happen.

But happen it did.

And to say thank you sent me this.

I have the benefit of a front row seat watching you show the audacity and commitment it takes to make your dreams come true...

And so because of that I have many references for what's possible.

That ultimately expands my awareness and gifts me with the audacity and commitment that I need as I build my own practice.

So...

Yes it's absolutely true...

My life changed when I met you...

We might not have met in person...

Yet...

But I certainly would not be the person I am today without you.

Why am I getting all mushy on you?

Well...

I want you to know what's going on in my life right now...

A whole lot.

I've reached several important and very life changing mile stones over the years.

Like you...

I've had a life of up and downs...rounds and rounds.

But a few of these experiences really stand out.

One of them was meeting and connecting with you...

My community...

You see before I got seriously involved in building community around my message as an expert...

I was living a life of uncertainty and felt unfulfilled...

I knew I had something bigger to offer the world...

I just couldn't crack it...

Then by chance I discovered the power of community...

The best kept secret of entrepreneurial success in today's world...

The moment I made the decision to do whatever it takes...

And I really mean WHATEVER...to build community...

If it meant I would have to stay up late...

Work several jobs...

Take risks that scared the living daylights out of me...

Get out of my comfort zone...

I was committed.

And the moment I committed...

Everything changed.

A few days back...

I got an email from a subscriber to The Daily Mentor...

And it broke my heart. 

Here's a beautiful woman who has a lot of talent...

Is smart...

Dedicated to service...

And yet cannot pay her bills and now feels forced to settle for less than she has the potential to achieve.

Why?

No community around her message.

Building community around your message is about being totally focused on building a relationship of trust with your market.

It's about deliberately surrounding yourself with a network of people who know, like and trust you enough to recommend you to their circle of friends...

And...

Also...invest in themselves through your products and services...

Fortunately there are lots of cost effective ways to do that in today's world both online and offline...

It's absolutely critical to your success as you work towards becoming a high profile, highly paid person of influence in your field..

And if like the lady who wrote in earlier today...

You're struggling...

It's very likely that you haven't yet nailed the community game.

The right time to get started is right now.

On the other hand...

If you're doing pretty well but feel like you've hit a ceiling and are stuck at a particular level of achievement...

And haven't been able to breakthrough to your critical next level.

What you need is a tweak in your community game.

Like I always say...

Everything you need in this life is in the hands of someone else.

If they don't know you...like you or trust you...

You're not getting what you want.

And we all need people speaking for us behind doors that we don't qualify to pass through by ourselves.

To help...

Starting tomorrow and for the next few weeks....

I'll be focusing quite a bit on that in the daily mentor.

(FYI...that's the publication you're reading now)

I'll share with you the mindset you need to develop...

In order to have people lining up and literarily falling over themselves to do business with you.

When you combine the mindset I'll be teaching you to install over the next few weeks...

With the strategies for building legend around your message that you're learning from me in this series.......

You should start to see some pretty dramatic changes in the quality of results that you're producing in the market place.

But...

You've got to commit to taking action each and everyday...

As you learn...apply.

Reading books and watching videos does not change your life...

Acting on what you've learned and in your own best interest..

Is what changes your life and the quality of results you habitually produce.

Nothing great comes from playing scared.

Nothing amazing comes from staying in your comfort zone.

No lives will be changed from you saying no to your potential.

And certainly no money will be made by not following through.

Remember that.

Till tomorrow...

Get out of your own way and play a bigger game than you've ever played before.
