    Awesome Video. Had to actually watch it twice and take some time to mull over the basic concepts. Very Seminal.

    This is one of the greatest mindset vids I've ever seen.

    Funny… While watching it, I decided to completely drop a project I'm working on and only focus on the other projects that have more profit potential.

    This is AWESOME.

    Great post, great video. Fear of failure is not the biggest problem – the paralysis that comes from fear of failure is what keeps people from success.

    Thanks a lot for this post, I will definitely take action to prevent fear from being my stumbling block.

    Erm thanks Matt,
    I think throwing yourself off the top of a caravan is bad imagery. Really bad!
    Also I think this video may be too weird for some people and here's why.

    Certainly somewhere in there is the correct message, to believe.
    But believe in what?
    He says (I think – I could only stand to be soundbite bashed once) believe in yourself.
    Well I'd challenge that “exact” phraseology.
    What does believing in yourself mean anyway?
    That you can pick a niche, write a headline and build an email list to “flog” affiliate offers you've never even seen to?
    That is exactly what many IM'ers do. Or try to do.
    And whether they are successful at receiving money or not, are they happy?
    You know what it is like to be unhappy Matt, right?!

    So where does happiness come from? What makes us happy?
    It isn't money. Being poor makes us sad, for sure! But money doesn't make us happy.
    Yes we almost always need money to do what we need to do to be happy.
    But many things you can't buy. Like friendship and respect and love and karma and gratitude.
    Yes you can give someone money, i.e. a beggar, but it won't change their lives. Only keep them fed and dry for the moment. The reason they are there begging is the underlying problem. They needed a friend. Support. Love. They never got it!
    That may be their own fault, they may be mentally challenged. They may have been damaged from abuse. Or drugs. Or peer pressure (bullying).
    But money is not going to fix this. Money does not fix that much!

    Not having money is a problem. But the goal isn't money. Money is a tool, to do things with. Money is a TOOL!
    And we SHOULD earn money by “helping” others to do what they want to do.
    That is the value we can bring.
    That is the belief hat we MUST have in our self.
    That we can make a difference, to other peoples problems. TO genuinely help them achieve what they need to achieve.
    That is the belief we should have that should not be swarted, by the crowds of non believers, jealous, frightened people who would rather see you fail, then see you do better than them. Sad but true. That human conditioning even has a scientific name, that I forget.

    So we need to believe in our ability to help others. That we should smile at the beggar and treat him like a person, and not ignore him like a piece of trash in the wind. That could do more for him than money. Money is not the answer. Until the problem is gone, the money will only be a short term solution. A smile costs nothing. A word costs nothing. Money is not the complete answer. Not for him. Not for you.

    I can give you imagery right now, that could make you cry, instead of thinking about money But I know Matt wouldn't allow it.
    But my point is, if what you are trying to achieve is worthy, is helping others, then believing in yourself, is a whole heap easier.
    Selling placebo cancer cures just to extort money from desperate people is not it.
    If you actually have a method that you personally used to stop smoking, so you didn't get cancer, then isn't; something you could hand on heart believe in?
    Shouldn't you believe in your self and complete your mission despite the jeering, in such a worthy case?

    if you have a genuinely great product or service and you sell it to the right crowd (people who really want it), in an ethical (No BS) way, then how hard do you think it would be to believe in yourself?

    The huge problem with the IM niche, is everyone is so busy BS'ing up the sizzle, nobody remembers to say that it's steak. So the vegans will not be pleased :-)
    The moral, for me, is if you don;t have to speak BS, it's a damn site easier to believe in what you are doing.
    But you also need to focus on the right crowd. People who like your style.
    Some people will respond and appreciate the used car IM tricks teachings. Some simply won't.
    Instead of trying to con the maximum amount of people just to rake in the dollars, what would happen if you tried to pre-select the crowd for the people who really wanted what you actually had.

    I laughed to see this video was a freeline “advert” for MCU, a $4 per month subscription, where one of the featured videos was from a billionaire who said;
    “Billionaire, Mark Cuban drops great wisdom on how to make serious money and why the Internet is not the way to make a massive fortune.” ROF LOL.

    You see no ones opinion is worth a dime, except to themselves. Including mine. it's up to each of us to process the data and draw our own unique conclusions for us.
    Maybe he can't get rich the Internet way, but just cos he's a billionaire, doesn't make hm right. Just because I am poor, doesn't make me wrong!

    Anyway thanks for the video. it seems to have gee'd a few people up, so nice.
    For any one else left standing, I have more to say on my blog. I've taken up too much page already ;-)

    Thanks for highlighting this Matt.

    Interesting presentation.
    I liked the closing comment but… what does one do if He or She is not clever?
    I believe there are two options;
    One – Get a Mentor
    Two – Get an Education (Meaning specific information on how to accomplish what you want to do.)
    Unfortunately there is a key element that is ignored by most folks that don't succeed even when they have gotten either or both options, follow directions… exactly. The problem really is that we “think” we are more clever than the Mentor we have chosen or the originators of Program we purchased.
    So… my closing comment is “You don't have to be clever… but you do have to remember that you aren't.”

  • http://onlinesuccesswithchris.com Chris Jenkins

    Matt,
    As always you deliver something that makes you sit back and think. What I mean by that is that if I am reading something you wrote or a audio you created you deliver emotion and inspiration. This video reminds of those things because like all the comments before me it stirs some kind of emotion in you when you watch it. People either like this or they don't but either way it causes a reaction. I believe that in itself makes it a excellent video thank you for sharing. I think that it is that emotion that we find in ourselves, that deep down desire to succeed that will push you to the top of the mountain. So thumbs up is my vote!

    Totally. Nothing new except the fact that it's guy that makes alot of money doing some amazing things. What I mean is. I really hate getting people that tell me I can get rich (or richer) from people that make their money saying it. That's why this hit home as well as it did for me. :-)

    Hi Matt, thank you SO much for sharing this video! The part where Felix talks about 'the fear of failing out in the open' resonated with me…ie having the gonads to make my first video and actually post it..aaaargh!! Think i can safely say i'm paralysed by this one..damn! Loved when he stresses 'do NOT give in'….the only thing that can stop you is your death….found that mildly amusing…but true…This video has incredibly inspiring and definately given me thoughts to ponder.

    Hi,
    this was very inspiring to me, simply because during the last 3 weeks I have made the determination to do exactly what he is saying, “Don't give up, No one can take it from you unless YOU let them”.
    Keep on keeping on is the only way to win.
    I had really begun to believe I couldn't make it online, then I received an email from someone I had never heard of, and they set me on the right track.

    Very Kyosaki-ish: Motivational platitudes but no specifics. I believe most people who become wealthy are meant to be so or discovered something that led them to be financially well off almost as if it were meant to be. He talks about knowing exactly what you want to do and switching to plan B if plan A isn't working. That would be a major problem to those of us who would like financial freedom but don't know where to start or how. And you just gotta love it when a guy this wealthy brags about all the things he's done for himself but not a word about any charitable giving. Anyway, it was somewhat motivational, just seemed more aimed at those doing well to do even better.

    I just watched the video and was very impressed with the verbal content, but I had an aversion to the $200,000 cars used to promote the message. If normal small business owners who wish to make the plunge not need a speedy car or driver then the message would be more viable to make this work. If you need a Lambourgini in Idaho you are looking at LA LA land. Thank you for your time.

    1) I have no clue who this dude is. Publishing company? Does he own Lamborghini? It's not clear, and now i'm subtley confused.

    2) The ending could have been way cooler.

    All in all – a level headed, great reminder that our failures don't suck. And … how to go about building a business to avoid that “sucky” feeling in the first place.

    So who is this dude? Not sure. Maybe I'll google him later…

I am always working on not only the everyday HUGH job, at least for me, of keeping tabs on all of the various daily “things” that have to be dealt with as well as planning for the tomorrows.

    Much of what I learned about IM over the past 2 1/2 years is outdated or “creaky” and I am constantly modifying and adjusting what I am doing. So it is good to have some inspiring stuff to view when I feel like “can I do it and is it really worth it”.

    Thanks for bringing this video to my attention.

    Matt, thank you, thank you, thank you, for sending “Words of Wisdom.”
    My philosophy of life is “You're not beaten until you've given up.”
    Today, I'm going through a rough patch where it seems the whole world is collapsing around me. This recording came at the right time, I was just writing a synopsis of a year long struggle and why I am still plugging along. It has given me the words I needed, “Because I have an unshakable belief in myself. They will have to bury me to stop me. Bankrupting me will not be enough because, like Arnie says, I'll be back.”
    Once again Matt, THANK YOU
    Victor

    Hi Matt, I know your heart is in the right place so keep up the good work.
    I have a different take on the video though. I don't want to offend you but
    I probably will. It's like the matrix movie, on the surface all looked okay.
    But Neo had a gut feeling something was wrong. If you go behind the seen of
    the video you will discover the truth. For example the video starts off saying
    something like, if you live in the western world with a democracy you can
    make it.That is programing us against( them), Are the people in the poor
    countries idiots? If you think you are in a democratic country then do some
    digging on your computer like Neo for the truth.The american dollar is in real
    shit, WHY? Lets pray it doesn't go any worse.
    The real story in the video is what did those people do to get to the top!
    Steroids, drugs, Secret organisations with crime built in.
    I have taken the time to look behind the brain washing bullshit and it is not
    a pretty picture.
    I am 100% sure we can create a happy abundant life. Facing up to the truth
    of whats really happening is needed though,otherwise everything will sooner or
    later turn to shit.
    Any one can get court up in the hype but it takes guts to really find out who
    the people are you are watching. Are you someone who buys into the B/S
    in the media.?
    Well I guess i opened my big mouth again and will get shit for it.
    I don't have an axe to grind with these people this is just my understanding
    of whats going on, hope you like my angle on your vid

    Funny how the universe connects the dots for you sometimes. I was at the beach just yesterday listening to Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich. I had forgotten that I had it on my PC and downloaded to my mp3 player. Faith was the last concept I heard as I drifted off for a brief nap. And voila, here you are sharing the same thing. Thanks so much. I am inspired. We all need reminders to: determine what it is we want, focus, be adaptible in our methods and just BELIEVE that we, just as regular other people have, can achieve and receive even more than what we visualize. Much continued success to you Matt and all readers/viewers.

    This is more than the law of attraction. It is a strong belief in yourself, taking action toward your goal and doing whatever you have to do to accomplish it and overriding your fear of failure. At first you could fail but do not give up, ever. Eventually success will come. That is what I have picked up here. Sounds like a plan to pursue. Lillian Bosy

    Matt, there is a man with no limbs that has his own motivational video's. I have forgot his name though I'll never forget seeing him get around his own house, climming stairs and basicly looking after him self. And yet he ois able to get up in front of audiences doing his speeches. What a person this man is with no imbarrisment or fear of his limmitations. If he can do vertually anything then whats wrong with me. Nothing, even if there may be some setbacks of my own. We can concoure !
