00:00:01,010 --> 00:00:07,400
This lesson is called massive action versus the law of attraction, and it shows you how to combine

2
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:12,860
these two to actually have success and develop a true millionaire mindset.

3
00:00:13,310 --> 00:00:19,130
First, before we combine these together, we need to look at what massive action is versus what the

4
00:00:19,130 --> 00:00:20,390
law of attraction is.

5
00:00:20,750 --> 00:00:25,250
So since most people are more familiar with the law of Attraction, let's start there.

6
00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:31,220
So the law of attraction is the belief that positive or negative thoughts bring positive or negative

7
00:00:31,220 --> 00:00:33,740
experience into a person's life.

8
00:00:34,190 --> 00:00:38,940
What that means is basically the contents of your mind become your reality.

9
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,260
That is what the law of attraction basically states.

10
00:00:43,700 --> 00:00:49,460
Now, the reason this lesson is important is because if you just sit here and meditate just like this

11
00:00:49,460 --> 00:00:54,980
girl right here, it doesn't necessarily mean you're going to attract anything positive in your life.

12
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:56,890
And I want to be real with you.

13
00:00:56,900 --> 00:01:03,080
I want to be completely honest in this academy in order to actually have results.

14
00:01:03,530 --> 00:01:08,510
You can't just sit there and you can't just hope that they come in your life and pray that they do.

15
00:01:08,750 --> 00:01:10,250
A lot of people live this way.

16
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,990
Of course, you need to be positive.

17
00:01:12,290 --> 00:01:16,720
But this is not enough to really make an impact.

18
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,570
Positive thinking does nothing without action followed up by it?

19
00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:24,820
It's a great start to just think positive.

20
00:01:25,030 --> 00:01:29,950
But if you don't take those actions along with it, you're not going to get anywhere at all.

21
00:01:30,580 --> 00:01:31,840
And a lot of people don't do that.

22
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,060
A lot of people don't get out of their own head.

23
00:01:34,450 --> 00:01:38,620
They don't get out of their own way and they don't ever start freelancing in the first place.

24
00:01:39,250 --> 00:01:41,530
And you need to just start somewhere.

25
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,390
Take that first action.

26
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:52,140
And not only, you know, is it just one action, the one action builds off, the next builds off the

27
00:01:52,140 --> 00:01:52,560
next.

28
00:01:52,950 --> 00:02:00,090
The truth is it takes massive levels of action and repeated action to attract what you want in life.

29
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:05,700
Nothing great was built overnight, and nothing worth having is easy to achieve.

30
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,990
Persistence and perseverance are the keys to success.

31
00:02:10,410 --> 00:02:13,230
So when you start looking at how you can combine these two?

32
00:02:13,530 --> 00:02:17,370
Right, so the law of attraction, you need to stay persistent with this.

33
00:02:17,370 --> 00:02:21,750
You need to make sure when you wake up, you write your way down, you're thinking positive.

34
00:02:21,750 --> 00:02:27,540
You want to attract the best things to your life, but then actually having the persistence and perseverance

35
00:02:27,540 --> 00:02:32,730
to take those actions every day, those repeated actions, even when you don't feel like it.

36
00:02:34,340 --> 00:02:36,980
And every marathon starts with the first step.

37
00:02:37,460 --> 00:02:43,310
So the love action has to be combined with this law of attraction, like I said.

38
00:02:43,580 --> 00:02:50,600
So even when you just do the smallest thing, every little action you do in the day builds off of each

39
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:50,930
other.

40
00:02:51,380 --> 00:02:55,910
Same thing with every marathon starts with the first step, you just start.

41
00:02:56,060 --> 00:02:58,640
You just need to start taking those actions.

42
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:00,110
And the reason is very important.

43
00:03:00,980 --> 00:03:06,140
With freelancing and with any, you know, online business or anything in general is that it's easy

44
00:03:06,140 --> 00:03:08,660
to get stuck, like I said in this thinking phase.

45
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:13,850
And this research phase, but action is really what is going to get you to that next step.

46
00:03:14,990 --> 00:03:19,580
You need to start being obsessed with getting to where you want to go.

47
00:03:19,730 --> 00:03:26,720
So take taking massive action means making your goal or the act of accomplishing your goal, your sole

48
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:27,560
obligation.

49
00:03:28,070 --> 00:03:28,910
That's what it means.

50
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,970
So you don't have to think of being obsessed as a bad thing.

51
00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:32,630
Right?

52
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:38,150
Well, it is bad if you're obsessed with the wrong things, but you're if you're obsessed with the right

53
00:03:38,150 --> 00:03:38,560
things.

54
00:03:38,570 --> 00:03:44,180
If you're obsessed with providing for yourself, for providing with your family, for being the first

55
00:03:44,180 --> 00:03:49,730
one in your family to actually be able to give back to your community, that's the kind of obsession

56
00:03:49,730 --> 00:03:54,110
I'm talking about taking the first step to define your ultimate goal.

57
00:03:54,380 --> 00:03:58,130
This is another way you can start to combine these two.

58
00:03:58,370 --> 00:04:05,060
You need to start to understand where your focus is going to be, and the way to do that is to understand,

59
00:04:05,060 --> 00:04:06,980
like we said, what your ultimate goal is.

60
00:04:07,460 --> 00:04:11,840
It's a little bit different than what your why is, but it's your ultimate goal.

61
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:12,890
Where are you going?

62
00:04:12,890 --> 00:04:15,470
What is that end goal you want to get to?

63
00:04:15,470 --> 00:04:20,450
Is it being, you know, a full time freelancer and having multiple clients that fully supports your

64
00:04:20,450 --> 00:04:20,780
life?

65
00:04:20,990 --> 00:04:27,380
You need to understand what that goal is, because then only then is when you can actually start to

66
00:04:27,380 --> 00:04:30,020
develop your circle of focus.

67
00:04:31,500 --> 00:04:38,430
So the circle of focus, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and a bunch of other successful people all attribute

68
00:04:38,730 --> 00:04:43,830
their success to one thing they had to boil it down, you know, they were asked this in many, many

69
00:04:43,830 --> 00:04:44,400
interviews.

70
00:04:44,940 --> 00:04:47,640
They all boil it down to the word focus.

71
00:04:47,940 --> 00:04:53,310
And this is especially important when you're freelancing because there's so many different things you

72
00:04:53,310 --> 00:04:53,730
can do.

73
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,390
And like I said, in this course, we're going to be using Upwork as our, you know, platform for freelancing,

74
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,230
and this is what your circle of focus should look like.

75
00:05:04,410 --> 00:05:09,570
Upwork You should be focusing on building your profile following these modules and starting to land

76
00:05:09,570 --> 00:05:10,110
clients.

77
00:05:10,470 --> 00:05:18,000
But that's not always what happens, because let's say you start to do something else now you build

78
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:18,630
a website.

79
00:05:18,930 --> 00:05:23,640
So not only are you spending your time on trying to get clients on Upwork, but now you said, you know

80
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:23,780
what?

81
00:05:23,790 --> 00:05:25,860
Oh, I think I need to have a website.

82
00:05:26,190 --> 00:05:27,690
So this might throw you off.

83
00:05:27,690 --> 00:05:34,290
But the truth is, you don't need a website or an audience or a social media presence to freelance to

84
00:05:34,290 --> 00:05:34,950
get started.

85
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,240
The truth is, you know, when I started out, I thought I needed to do this.

86
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,650
I literally spent like 750 on a logo, a branding package.

87
00:05:43,890 --> 00:05:46,250
I spent weeks building my website.

88
00:05:46,250 --> 00:05:49,620
I paid for hosting domains, all of these different things.

89
00:05:49,980 --> 00:05:54,330
And the truth was I was spreading myself and my focus too thin.

90
00:05:54,870 --> 00:05:56,220
So let's say you're on Upwork.

91
00:05:56,430 --> 00:06:00,360
And like I said, you start trying to build a website and focus on all of that.

92
00:06:00,780 --> 00:06:03,450
Now your focus is diverted into two things.

93
00:06:03,780 --> 00:06:09,390
So instead of putting all of your energy into making something great, you're kind of half assing two

94
00:06:09,390 --> 00:06:09,930
things.

95
00:06:10,620 --> 00:06:15,690
And this is really when it starts to get dangerous, when your circle of focus looks like a pizza pie.

96
00:06:16,050 --> 00:06:21,210
And this is the point I had gotten to because I wasn't having the success I wanted when I was doing

97
00:06:21,210 --> 00:06:27,870
things the old way when I was trying to generate the demand in my freelancing services, as opposed

98
00:06:27,870 --> 00:06:33,750
to going out there and capturing the millions of clients that are already posting jobs and looking for

99
00:06:33,750 --> 00:06:34,110
work.

100
00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:38,190
So this is what it looks like when your circle of focus is spread so thin.

101
00:06:38,340 --> 00:06:43,890
Well, you might think you need to post on Facebook three times a day post on LinkedIn Instagram.

102
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:45,540
And then what does that leave?

103
00:06:45,810 --> 00:06:48,630
20 percent now of your energy is on Upwork.

104
00:06:49,140 --> 00:06:53,280
And this is where you can really start to shoot yourself in the foot.

105
00:06:53,490 --> 00:06:59,820
You think you're doing more, but in reality, you're actually doing less because the quality you're

106
00:06:59,820 --> 00:07:04,890
going to put in when your focus is shifted all throughout your day, all throughout your week on all

107
00:07:04,890 --> 00:07:08,640
of these different things is not going to help you get to that next level.

108
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:16,290
So understanding that you need to combined massive action with the law of attraction and you need to

109
00:07:16,290 --> 00:07:19,410
keep your circle of focus on one thing.

110
00:07:20,390 --> 00:07:26,210
Once you understand that, then you understand what is actually required to make these two work together.

111
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:32,060
So once you have mastered that one single thing on your circle of focus, that's when you can actually

112
00:07:32,060 --> 00:07:34,610
move on and then move on to something else.

113
00:07:34,790 --> 00:07:39,140
But make sure you're not moving on until you've mastered that first thing first.

114
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,390
So now you understand massive action versus the law of attraction.
