Dream No Small Dreams For They Have No Power To Move Men
Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move men.
--Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every great achiever has had the ability to feel certain they could succeed, even though no one before them had ever accomplished it. They’ve been able to create references where no references existed and achieve what seemed to be impossible. With enough emotional intensity and repetition, our nervous systems experience something as real, even if it hasn’t occurred yet.
Do you know the story of the four-minute mile? For thousands of years, people held the belief that it was impossible for a human being to run the mile in less than four minutes. But in 1954, Roger Bannister broke this imposing belief barrier. He got himself to achieve the “impossible” not merely by physical practice but by constantly rehearsing the event in his mind, breaking through the four-minute barrier so many times with so much emotional intensity that he created vivid references that became an unquestioned command to his nervous system to produce the result. Many people don’t realize, though, that the greatest aspect of his breakthrough was what it did for others. In the whole history of the human race, no one had ever been able to break a four-minute mile, yet within one year of Roger’s breaking the barrier, 37 other runners also broke it. His experience provided them with references strong enough to create a sense of certainty that they too, could “do the impossible.” And the year after that, 300 other runners did the same thing!
It was not new running shoes, new training techniques, or new vitamin supplements that allowed this monumental breakthrough. It was the simple and uncomprehensible power of belief. It was belief backed by references and true conviction that something would be accomplished…no matter what!
What are the things in your life that you hope could be different…that you really wish would change…that you dream someday would come true. Hoping, wishing and dreaming arethe beginning but it must not stop only there. Grab hold of your worthy cause and give it some back-bone…give it some legs to run on.
If yours is a worthy desire, GRAB HOLD of it and see it clearly. Break it down piece by piece. Write it down…re-write it over and over again until you have it exactly right- down to the smallest of details. Do you see it yet? Does it seem more real? If you were to reach out your hand and touch it…is there something there yet for you to grab hold of?
What ever it is in your life…if it is a worthy cause…if it is for good…MAKE IT REAL in your own mind first, and then MAKE IT HAPPEN! You can do this. No matter what evidence you are surrounded by that would tell you otherwise, look away and set your sights on your cause. Do not be dissuaded. No matter how many people tell you “it is impossible”, “you’re wasting your time”, “wake up and come back to reality”, DO NOT LISTEN! Make your own reality within you first, within your beliefs and references, within your convictions. Build up enough emotional intensity and before long this reality will become evident for all to see.
When we do something for the first time, we create a physical connection, a thin neural strand that allows us to re-access that emotion or behavior again in the future. Think of it this way: Each time we repeat the behavior, the connection strengthens. We add another strand to our neural connection. With enough repetitions and emotional intensity, we can add many strands simultaneously, increasing the tensile strength of this emotional behavioral pattern until eventually we have a “trunk line” to this behavior or feeling. This is when we find ourselves compelled to feel these feelings or behave in this way consistently. In other words, this connection becomes what I’ve would label a “super-highway” that will take us down an automatic and consistent route of behavior.
How many beliefs do you have in daily life about who you are or what you can or cannot do, or how people should act, or what capabilities your kids have that you’re failing to question also-disempowering beliefs you’ve begun to accept that limit your life and you’re not even aware of it?
Remember, as long as you believe something, your brain operates on automatic pilot, filtering any input from the environment and searching for references to validate your belief, regardless of what it is.
“Deep within man dwell those slumbering powers; powers that would astonish him, that he never dreamed of possessing; forces that would revolutionize his life if aroused and put into action.”

Although these beliefs, expectations, convictions are very powerful in and of themselves, if they are not eventually backed by consistent action to implement them into our lives, they will show very little results.
The application of these truths should be self evident every area of our lives. However these same beliefs and expectations can be applied to the opportunity here in WA. You will go a LOT further and accomplish much, much more if you approach this opportunity with great expectations regardless of any past failures. This training is set up to help even the very least experienced person in affiliate marketing create and implement a very successful and lucrative online business.
Cast aside all doubt, fear, apprehension or anything else that would hold you back and throw yourself into this training on a consistent and persistent basis. Not everything will make complete sense the first time you are exposed to it which is one of the great things about this system....go back and re-read, re-watch the videos until you understand.
I ran a successful Digital Marketing/SEO/SEM/Social Media Marketing/Video Marketing/Email Marketing company for over 10 years and I can absolutely tell you that the training, tools and resources provided here are Top Notch! Learn them, use them, go through the step by step training and "leave no stone unturned"
I've been self employed for many years owning both traditional "brick and mortar" businesses as well as online businesses including the Digital Marketing business. The beauty of Affiliate marketing is that EVERYTHING is up to you and you alone...your effort, your time, you ALONE. In every other business, you are often dependent on others to provide necessary information, respond to emails, pay the invoices, etc., etc., etc. In Affiliate marketing the only person you every have to wait on you you and you alone! BEAUTIFUL!
