I read an article today stating the biggest success secret is to ‘be bold and ask?’ (article here)
What do you think?
To me, claiming something to be the biggest, best, #1 or anything else is a waste of time. It’s irrelevant because, as my attorney friends like to say, “It Depends.”
The secret to your success is going to be different then the secret to my success.
Sure, I can share my experience with you and the various secrets that have helped me – that’s what I do in these articles. But, ultimately, your path and the success strategies that work for you will end up looking like it’s own secret recipe.
Why?
So why do we share these secrets in the first place?
Because it’s impossible to write an article that covers every unique situation for the thousands of readers in over 47 countries (at last count).
Only you know where you are in your journey.
I share success secrets and strategies that have worked for me and others I study.
The article referenced above suggests being bold and asking for what you want is the “biggest.” Obviously for the author it was, but what about you?
For you, it might be “deciding” what you want. Or you may come down to “doing what you already know.” It’s really hard to say.
My belief
In the Power Module, I share a process to help YOU uncover your biggest Success Secret. It’s called your “X-Factor” because it acts as your Personal Success Accelerator. You learn from me having studied hundreds of very successful people, that your greatest fear or adversity is really the secret to your success.
So, while I’ll agree with the author that his biggest success secret is to be bold and ask for what you want, I’d disagree that is Your biggest secret to your success.

Let’s face it, affirmations don’t work. I bet you and others you know have tried daily affirmations with poor results. But, there is a solution to take the intention of affirmations, and create a positive result.
But first, what do you I consider poor results?
Simple, you used them, for a period of time, stopped using them and still don’t have what you used them for (e.g. more self confidence, more money, more clients, etc)
You may have heard of the Law of Attraction through various movies, books and seminars. You may have seen affirmations, declarations or other types of statements to utilize the law of attraction. However, those statements disrupt, rather than strengthen, the neural pathways in the brain. If you focus on what you don’t want, you will increase the chance of attracting those people, places or things to you. Conversely, if you focus on what you do want, you increase the chance of attracting those people, places or things to you.
Regardless of your opinion, an agreeable summary is; “Like attracts Like.”
When you’re reciting positive affirmations, you were probably thinking “that’s not true” while you said them. When saying something like “I am a millionaire,” you were probably thinking of all your credit card debt. Unfortunately, those were the real thoughts you were sending out (doubt, disbelief, etc)… in essence, putting more energy on the negative.
The suggested “Attraction Statements” in the Let Your Millionaire Out Success System are crafted in such a way to harness the power of the Law of Attraction while simultaneously triggering the appropriate neural response in the brain.
The statements you repeat (whether Affirmations or “Attraction”) are energy. Your reality, the situations around you, and the events of your life are created by the energy within you.
– With negative or non- supportive energy you’ll see negative and non-supportive results in your life.
– With positive or supportive energy you’ll see positive and supportive results.
You have a little voice in your head, an inner-critic that provides an almost running dialogue. Studies have shown that as much as 80% or more of that dialogue is negative and non-supportive.
With all that “noise” in your head, it’s amazing you get anything done at all. Attraction statements (not affirmations) are a powerful way to re-program your subconscious mind because they’re crafted in a way so you can say them and be congruent, and in integrity.
By writing and saying your ATTRACTION Statements out loud, you are engaging your audio and kinesthetic learning modalities, accelerating your retention.
Another benefit of reading aloud is that it acts as a natural refinement process to help you get more clear. You’ll quickly tire of words that don’t inspire you, causing you to further edit and revise your statements for greater “clarity.” Don’t let your past challenges with affirmations keep you from trying out, successfully, the attraction statements in your system.

How to Become a Crossover Success Story
0 Comments | Posted by David Koons in Success Habits
You too can become a crossover success story, once you truly know what that means. Country music gets a bad rap for songs about wife’s leaving, kicking your dog and hard luck in thousands of different ways.
But, success stories were in full view during Sunday night’s Academy of Country Music Awards, where country trio Lady Antebellum became a crossover success with their song “Need You Now.”
What does this have to do with you? A lot, if you want to create your own success story.
You see, when interviewed, guitarist Dave Haywood shared that the song responsible for a night of awards and crossover success into the pop charts… almost didn’t make it onto the album because they didn’t think it was good enough. (full article)
He went on to say, “When we wrote ‘Need You Now,’ I don’t think we knew what we had in our hands.”
How about you?
What are you holding in your hand… or holding back from sharing, that you don’t think is good enough?
Do you have a product, presentation or service that you’ve been ‘fine-tuning’ for a long time?
You’re not doing anyone any good by holding back… get it out there.
I can tell you, from experience, I’ve had ideas that I thought were so-so, that turned into tremendous successes… and some great ideas (I thought) that didn’t amount to much.
What’s the key? To share it. People can’t respond to something they don’t know about.
Share your song, product or service today.
If it’s a ‘hit’ run with it!
If it’s a dud, try something new. It’s about correcting and continuing along the way.
That’s how you can create your own success story today. Have your own experience where a bad idea turned out to be good? Share it below.

Do you have a definition of success? Do you really know what that means to you?
Most people I talk to want ‘more.’
More money, more time, better health.
But is that it? If you just had more, would you define your life as successful?
Here’s $20, are you successful now?
You see, if you focus on more without identifying your ideal life, your ideal client, the perfect deal or an ideal day, you’re setting yourself up for frustration.
I’m frequently told that people can’t live like me. I work out of my home office, near my kids. My commute is a hallway and ‘rush hour’ is navigating the kids and dog in the morning.
I might work Saturday night and be jumping on the trampoline with the kids Tuesday at 1:0o p.m. in the afternoon. This, to me, is congruent with what it means to be successful.
I can do all this because I continue to identify my ideal. I know what my ideal day looks like (and have lived it thousands of times) I have perfect customers because I have identified them.
What about you?
How do you define success in all its forms? (Life, Year, Day, Client, Business, Deal, etc.)
Remember, you can’t get there from here if you don’t know where ‘there‘ is.
Start the process by sharing a definition of success below, then taking a little longer in private to truly contemplate each of the above areas.

Why the Holidays are a Two-Headed Beast
0 Comments | Posted by David Koons in Success Habits
Ah, the holidays and New Years are fast approaching. It’s this time of year that many are scurrying around shopping, cleaning up last minute details and preparing for some well-earned rest and recuperation (R&R).
Is This the Best Time of Year… or Worst?
Are you a lover of New Years, a hater or indifferent? I bet it partially depends on your experience with New Years Resolutions, remember them?
New Years Resolutions are a lot like goals, when I mention them people shudder.
Why Is That?
I’ll get to that in a second, for now let’s go on a little journey.
I pay attention to resistance, yours and mine. Why is New Years both dreaded and enjoyed? Did you know New Year’s is one of the oldest holidays, dating back over 4000 years to ancient Babylon?
It was associated with the first New Moon after the Vernal (Spring) Equinox. So how the heck did it move from Spring to January 1st?
Old & New – And What’s In It For You
The month of January was name for the Babylonian god Janus, who had two heads. One looks back (Old) and one looks forward (New), symbolizing a break between old and new. Future celebrations had the Greeks parading a baby in a basket to represent fertility, Christians adopted this symbol as the birth of baby Jesus (new). And in modern day we added “old man time” (old).
End of Remembrance – Beginning of Something New
This is my favorite time of year. In the US we enjoy Thanksgiving, then go into the holiday season that for me is about celebrating the past year (Old) and creating an exciting New Year (New).
How It Can Help You
If you ever struggled with New Years Resolutions, or look back at the last year disappointed over what ‘could have been,’ there are several reasons. One may be a misunderstanding of goals and how they’re supposed to work – I don’t use the term.
Other reasons could include not understanding what is necessary to change. Or perhaps you’re carrying around a single self-sabotaging belief that destroys any and all progress (most we work with have this).
At the end of the year, you either have Results or Reasons. Regardless, on Thursday, December 11th, you will learn about a fast, yet simple way to make 2009 a tremendous, results-filled year… Can’t wait? Email me at newyear@letyourmillionaireout.com/blog and I’ll give you a special bonus just for inquiring.

You’re about to learn how you can benefit from my recent trip to Disney World.
You probably already know that Walt Disney was a visionary and tremendous marketer. You may have heard that when Walt told his peers he was building an amusement park with only one entrance/exit, they laughed at him.
They kept laughing until it opened and they saw the throngs of people shuffle through the gate, hand over their hard-earned money and enter the park in awe.
I had the pleasure last month of taking my wife and four children to Disney World. If you haven’t been there, it’s a magical place. If you have, you know what I’m talking about.
Okay, enough about that. How can my trip to Disney World help you create greater success in your life?
Easy, let me tell you about FASTPASS. This wonderful tool allows guests to make ‘reservations’ for a popular ride to avoid waiting in long lines. As you approach an attraction, you’ll see the Standby entrance and the FASTPASS entrance.
Standby is what most people know… it’s where you ‘stand-by’ for the attraction, in long, unpleasant lines – for how long depends on the length of the line. The FASTPASS entrance moves you to the front, putting you next in line to get on the ride, no waiting.
Like the Let Your Millionaire Out® Success System, the FASTPASS is free to use. You just have to use it.
Now, how does this help you? Simple, the concept behind the FASTPASS is the same concept associated with the Let Your Millionaire Out® Success System. All that is required for success (and avoiding a long wait for success) is some advanced preparation.
Imagine one of those long lines that snake back and forth forever. You’re standing there for over an hour, the kids are restless and have to go to the bathroom, you’re hungry, tired and just want to enjoy the ride.
Now imagine walking up to the same ride, seeing the line, but walking to the front, getting on the ride and moving on to the next attraction, all within minutes.
Simply by getting clear about which rides you want to experience by conducting a few minutes of planning, you have the secret to a successful Disney World vacation, where you’ll get to enjoy the most popular rides with only minimal wait times.
Now look at your idea of an Ideal Life. By spending a few minutes each morning planning your day as part of your Power Start, you’ll get to enjoy a lot more attractions and have a lot more fun.
The POWER START is your FASTPASS to Success. Do you want to wait in a long line and maybe someday experiencing the attraction of success? Or do you want to move up to the front of the line and get going.
Have you done your Power Start today?

I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of this election season and ready to put it behind me.
I’ve voted, sent in my ballot a week ago. Do you want to know who got my vote?
It’s simple, I voted for…
Me.
Well, sort of…
You see, regardless of the election, I recognize that the person most responsible for my health, wealth and prosperity.
It’s a recipe for failure to put the responsibility of your prosperity in someone else’s hands.
Let’s face it; regardless of your preferences in the US election, both major contenders are promising things neither can deliver with resources we don’t have. We’ve been spending our children and grandchildren’s money for quite some time. Isn’t that taxation without representation?
Sure, promising entitlements has been escalating in the last 50 years, but at what cost? You’ve heard the saying, “there’s no such thing as a free lunch.”
When you commit to Let Your Millionaire Out®, one of the first things you learn is about taking 100% responsibility for your life. Regardless of the success secrets you may have read about, this is numero uno (#1) in getting what you want.
Sure, you can think about and meditate on it. But, experience shows; until you get up and “do something,” chances are slim you’ll achieve the life and prosperity you want.
Others may promise to give to you by taking from others, or to help others out so you can benefit. But you’re still depending on someone else to do it for you and the government has a long history of failing to deliver.
I know after the election is over, regardless of who wins, no one is going to deliver prosperity to me. Sure, maybe they’ll send out a check for $500 or $1,000, but then what?
You see, the sooner you invest and trust in yourself, the sooner you’ll start achieving greater levels of success.
It’s no secret, but it does take a commitment and some folks find it a whole lot easier to hope someone else will do the work for them.
Fat chance. That’s straight talk for you. And if you want change you can believe in, start with yourself and go after what you want.
It begins with your Power Start… part of the Let Your Millionaire Out® Success System.
