Are You Taking The Long And Hard Way To Making It Big?
As some of you may know, I'm from Canada - and one thing we love up there in Canada is the great outdoors.
And I'm as much an outdoor fan as any, regardless of the season.
But this weekend, I was reminded of a very valuable lesson.
I was going camping, and despite the 8 inches of snow that dropped overnight, I was determined to set up camp on a very specific mountain I had scouted earlier.
I drove my ATV as close as I can, found a spot to park it and continued my trek on foot.
Now, keep in mind a few things…
- It was well below freezing temperatures, so I was dressed warm with multiple layers, a very thick jacket and pants, and large boots.
- It had snowed nearly a foot, which made navigating strange terrain by foot a slippery and trip-inducing challenge.
- I had a full, heavy pack-sack with all my gear, including both hands full.
Regardless of the above, I set off to my goal destination by foot.
Right out of the gate, I was frustrated.
The bush was very thick, requiring me to go over, under and around an endless wall of branches.
To make matters worse, every branch I touched caused snow to fall from the trees...right down the back of my neck.
Finally, after about 25 minutes of trekking, I broke through the brush and landed upon a small clearing.
And that's when I came up to my next obstacle - a rapidly flowing river, far too deep for my boots.
Refusing to give up, I followed the edge of the river until I found a spot that had a pile of branches caught together.
Wanting to get across, I balanced myself cautiously and, step by step, began crossing the river.
The current was hard and I can feel the pressure against my boots nearly forcing me down into the water... And I knew that if I got wet, the trip was over, I'd have to pack it in and head home or risk hypothermia.
The water came nearly an inch from the top of my boots, but after several tense minutes, I made it across dry.
I looked ahead and can see I was just about at the base of my goal mountain. It finally was in sight, within reach, and starting to feel like I could pull it off.
I was filled with joy and satisfaction.
I had almost reached my goal.
Sensing the end of my journey, I pressed on.
But soon I realized my struggles weren't over yet!
Before you knew it, I found myself crossing think brush again - but this time worse, it was filled with thorn bushes.
Pushing through cautiously, trying not to get scratched, I managed to make it across safely…
And that's when my heart sunk.
Immediately on the other side of these bushes was a trail.
But not just any trail… a road big enough that I could have driven my truck down, or at the very least least my ATV, bringing me right to the base of my goal mountain without the hour of struggle and risk I just went through.
And that's when I was reminded of something that often when we're set on a mission we forget…
Find shortcuts.
Here I was committed to reaching my goal. I knew where I wanted to go and was determined not to let anything stop me.
I faced adversity and challenges but I pressed on. I overcame obstacle after obstacle in light of the risk. And I made it through…
But had I known, had I asked for help, had I sought out the mentoring of someone who's been there before, who knew the area, I could have reached my goal far sooner, and with far less effort.
“But Al, isn't it good to go through the struggle?"
Yes...but some struggle cost too much.
What if I'd gotten lost? What if I'd gotten hurt? What if I'd fallen in the river?
I know so many people who've given up in their dreams because they lost it all, they tried and failed they bought a stock and it crashed, they enter one way and should've gone the other.
Sometimes, those risk are financial, sometimes it's your family on the line, and sometimes it's your life.
But what if someone could have said "hey, maybe you should invest in this stock instead"…
What if someone had said "hey add this to your business and you'll grow"…
What if someone said "hey, go this way instead and you'll be rewarded for ever"…
A shortcut is not a bad thing.
A shortcut is a quicker way to succeed. And if it's coming from someone reputable, someone who knows the journey, someone who's done what you're trying to do, it can be the difference between success and failure.
As I travel the world alongside the one and only Les Brown, I get asked all the time by fans how they can "be like Mr. Brown", and my answer is always the same... Find someone who's successfully done what you're trying to do and learn from them.
Whether that be through high-end private coaching, a digital mentoring program or even a course, a shortcut offered by someone who is where you want to be can and WILL save you time, money and energy. And quiet often save you from defeat.
That's exactly what THIS COURSE is. And it's not even one of ours.
Truth is, we teach just about everything Russel offers in this course (and a heck of a lot more!) in our $100,000 Ambassador programs, but this is such a great price, I can't help but say hey this is a sweet deal, grab it.
Here's the thing... if you've read my articles over the years, you know that my main goal is to help people take their lives to the next level - but today I stand here saying that this course IS the best bang for your buck right now, and you should check it out.
I bought it, many of my clients have bought it, heck even my Dad bought it - and so should you.
To your success,
Al
PS - If you're serious about making serious money, this course will help get you there in 1/10th the time. Grab it HERE.
