The Day I FIRED Myself!

Would YOU Fire Yourself From YOUR Home Business?

A lot of people think Charlie Sheen is a real train wreck and Off His Rocker.

Well, I actually got to bed early the other night and Charlie Sheen was featured on the Tonight show with Jay Leno, so, I decided to tune in thinking I would get something WIERD to talk about the next morning. Did you see it?

I have to tell you … Charlie really IMPRESSED me on the Tonight Show.

After months of being off his rocker and getting negative media coverage for his mostly STUPID actions of impulse and childish behavior …

….. Charlie IMPRESSED ME!

Here is an excerpt from an article I just read on TheGlobeAndMail.
 

"Appearing on Thursday’s Tonight Show, the former star of Two and a Half Men radiated a forgiving mood toward his old workplace. Asked by host Jay Leno if he’s still angry at the sitcom’s producers and network, he said no: He would have fired himself had he been in their shoes. Then he added with a laugh, “Well, maybe not like they did.”

Sheen says he would have fired himself Sheen was dumped last March after the actor railed against his bosses, and they blasted him for his unpredictable behavior as a drug-abusing, reckless playboy.

“It was bad,” Sheen said, summing up the clash, “and I own my part in that, and I just want to make everything right.”

Asked why he thought he should have been fired, Sheen explained, “I should have been a little more responsible about the condition I was showing up in.”

Why am I writing to YOU about this?

Well, I am glad you read this far.

You see not too many years ago I asked myself …

"Would I FIRE myself in my Home Business?"

hmmm … Now think that through VERY carefully!

Guess what … Two and a Half Years ago (not Two and a Half MEN ago .. LOL) I did just that in my Home Business.

I sat back and said "If I was EMPLOYEEING Myself in MY Home Business" would I keep myself on as a representative of MY company.

My answer was SIMPLE and took all of 5 seconds for me to DECIDE as Donald Trump would say
…"Mark … You're FIRED"

Why on earth would you FIRE yourself, you may be saying.

Well, it gave me a way to ASSESS my own Work Ethic and REASONS for being in Internet Marketing and the Home Business arena.

So for the next TWO hours I was jobless, FIRING MYSELF.

I sat down and analyzed the actions I was taking and the half assed effort I was TRULY putting into my business.

I looked at my financial situation and WHY I was in the earning category I was.

I looked at my business relationships and how well or poor they were.

I looked at my time management and where I was spending my time.

I looked at my PERSONAL relationship with my wife and children.

I (in a two hour period) reviewed EVERY aspect of my life.

ONE big factor I realized was that I was acting WIERD to the people CLOSE to me that thought I was CRAZY for having a BIG PIPE DREAM of hitting it BIG on the Internet. I lashed out and alienated those that did not see it my way.

NOW … I wasn't on drugs or drinking or anything like that … BUT … I have to admit that if the people around me didn't SEE my vision … I was a Charlie Sheen asshole to them.

At that MOMENT … It all STOPPED.

I decided to Re-Hire myself and change the way I "Do Business".

From that point on I no longer even mentioned my Home Business or Dreams of hitting it BIG to those that were around me.

I kept my relationship with my brother, father, mother, cousins, friends and co-workers "Clean" I like to say. I NEVER mentioned my Dreams to THEM and my Home Business to THEM again.

NOW, I did keep a relationship with them and sort of like Charlie, admitted I was acting WIERD as they did not see it MY way and told them.. "I understand, you really thought you were looking out for me!" – and… I left it at that as I "CONTINUED" to pursue my dreams.

I also decided to bring people in my life that DO have the same thought process as I do when it comes to SUCCESS! Now, I did NOT drop my friends and family or anything like that. I just did NOT communicate with THEM about my Home Business Success and Failures or my BIG dreams.

I started associated with people that has similar business DREAMS and More Success than I did.

They say … who ever they is … That if you take the INCOME of the FIVE people you most commonly associate with … add up all 5 incomes … then Divide It By 5 .. and THAT IS WHAT YOU MAKE!

You know what .. I can tell you that this is 100% TRUE.

It also stands true for your work ethic, moral character and political beliefs.

So, what's the whole moral of this story?

Well, lets fast forward Two and a Half Years.

I am now a highly sought after Speaker and Trainer in the Home business industry.

I make MORE working a couple hours a week than most people make working 40 + hours.

I released TWO print books and just this week my second book hit the Best Seller List on Amazon for the Category of Motivation. I now have a title of "Best Selling Author".

My wife and I just put an offer on a HUGE 6180 square foot home with a big Pool, 6 Bedrooms, 4 Full baths and a Full Guest Quarters that we hope to bring our top affiliates in for brain storming sessions. And, it has GREAT views!

Life is GOOD!

Now don't get me wrong. We still have CHALLANGES!

I just handle them differently!

I DON'T pull the OLD Charlie Sheen anymore.

I have great respect for what Charlie did Thursday on the Jay Leno show.

Like him or hate him, he is assessing his life and knows what he needs to change.

I guess my question to you is …

"Would You FIRE Yourself??"

If so … Do It!

Then take time to ASSESS and in a few hours come back with VENGANCE!

You CAN have everything you want, I assure you of that… but … are YOU willing To FIRE yourself to get it!

All The Best!
