From our friend Dan Henderson
One evening in 1987 — young comedian, Jim Carrey, drove his beater Toyota up Mulholland Drive and stopped to overlook the Los Angeles skyline.
Things weren’t going as he hoped – but he still dreamed of real success. Carrey has written that he took a very unique action at that moment. He wrote himself a check for$20 million dollars. He dated it “Thanksgiving, 1995″ — and wrote on the memo line: “For acting services rendered.”
It turned out his figure was conservative. Once he’d been discovered, his price skyrocketed to $20 million per film, by his third film.
Now, my numbers are not even close to those of Jim Carrey. But I do have a similar story…
As a young man, I was dead broke with no bright future in sight. I lived in a small town in Eastern North Carolina — (population several). Glenda and I were married in our senior year of high school. I worked full time for a 500 watt radio station. We shut it down at sundown and signed on the next morning at 6am… That was my job — sign on at 6 in the morning — work till 8am – then off to school. I was back on the air from 3 to 6 PM…
I made $65 a week. I was — as they say — financially embarrassed.
The owner of the radio station — my lifelong friend – encouraged me to attend the Dale Carnegie Seminar… That lead to my reading the book — Think and Grow Rich. That lead to my setting a written goal to make $50,000 a year.
That goal seemed impossible to reach — no one in my family as far back as I could find — ever made that much money in one year. I didn’t write myself a check — but I did write $50,000 in red letters on the front page of my calendar — and I looked at it every day — just following what I learned from the book.
Fast forward for many years now, my Shaklee check has been well over$50,000 a month.
The point of this little story … the story of Jim Carrey … and a similar story for millions of people who have gone from desperation to higher levels of success…
“What you think about, you bring about.”
So here’s the question… How big a Shaklee bonus check can you see your name on? Write that check out today and put it somewhere you can see it every single day!
All the best,
Dan
