What to do when you get burned by life

What do you do when you get burned? There’s a story that talks about a cat that jumped on the hot stove, got burned, learned his lesson, never jumped on the hot stove again. But guess what? He also never jumped on the cold stove, either. Have you ever been burned by life, and then it made you a little gun shy?What should you do when that happens? Because it is one of those things where it happens in relationships, it happens in business, and it really sucks. We have to learn from that. Every time we come up against a struggle, we can’t just stop. I wouldn’t be where I am in life if I just stopped at every struggle. Some of you guys might not know this, but I’ve actually been through two divorces. I’ve been through two relationships that didn’t work out, but now I’m happily married for five years, going on six. I have two beautiful kids. If I would’ve said, “Relationships don’t work.” Guess what? I wouldn’t be happily married right now. I wouldn’t have two beautiful kids. I wouldn’t have the life that I have right now because I said, “Well, it just doesn’t work.” I know, I get it. There are times in our lives where you might say, “I got burned. I’m just going to shut it off, and I’m just going to be single for the rest of my life.” Or, “I’m not going to ever start a business.” Or, “I’m going to just have a job for the rest of my life.” I don’t know what those things are for you, but I think that we just need to calm down for a second and think about, “Okay, what really happened? What can I learn from it?” Then, “Can I live to fight another day?” I think that the more struggle you go through and the lessons that you learn, you’re able to help more people and give back more. Heck, maybe you don’t have kids, but when you do have kids, you are going to be able to share with them these stories because guess what? Our kids are going to have struggles too. Obviously, if you have kids now, that’s something you could share with them, whether that’s now or maybe later on when they get a little older. I think it’s part of life. I think it’s normal. I think, yes, it doesn’t feel good, but it’s something that, hey, we all get burned. I tend to trust people very quickly; that’s just the way that I am. That has burned me a lot, more times than I would like to share. But even though that’s hurt me, I continue to be giving, I continue to be trusting, I continue to have that abundant mindset. It has gotten me very, very far in life. It doesn’t make me feel good at all when I get burned and that I go internal and I close myself off. Think about this, when you close yourself off and you start blaming other people and you’re mad at the world, guess what? The world doesn’t care. The world doesn’t care, and I had to realize that. I had to say, “Okay, great, I’ve got to get over myself and just get moving again.” You know what? You have a lot to offer! We all have a lot to offer the world and the people in our lives. Let’s get back on the saddle. Maybe you’ve been burned on something just recently; it’s time to get back on the saddle. If you have to have a conversation with somebody, have that conversation. Have that crucial conversation, set those boundaries so that doesn’t happen again, but it’s time for you to get back on the saddle and do what you’re supposed to do to get your life where it needs to get to. I hope this helps you arrive at your next intended destination healthy, wealthy and happy. Get back on the stove!
How mistakes can work in your FAVOR!
Get Jefferson’s Book on Amazon today!
Do you ever make mistakes? Of course you do, we all do! Let me tell you how to get mistakes to work for you. I’m paraphrasing a quote from George Bernard Shaw. He said “Success doesn’t mean you’re not making mistakes. Yes, you’re making mistakes, but the key thing is not to make the same mistake a second time.”
So, what happens when YOU make a mistake? Does it cripple you, or do you actually learn from it? I think that’s a really key thing because a lot of us get lost in the process. It’s a myth that these successful people or these people who have a great life don’t make any mistakes. Guess what? That’s how they learn to have a successful is to make those mistakes.
We learn what to do. We actually learn more from failure than we do from success. We’re learning from our mistakes and it makes us a better person of we learn from them and we actually apply what we’ve learned and carry that forward so we have a better time. The other thing is, if you’re not making mistakes, you’re not even doing it right. That sounds kind of oxymoron-ish, doesn’t it? If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not doing it right. When you’re achieving and going for something that maybe you’ve never done before and nobody’s ever done before, yes, you’re going to make mistakes.
That means you’re on the right path. Some of you might need just a reminder of this right now because you’re working on something, you might be making some mistakes, you’re not maybe feeling good about yourself, but guess what? You’re on the right path if you learn from it. This is a huge ask that I really need from you right now. What mistake have you made in the past? What did you do to kind of correct that? What did you learn from it?
Please comment below because this is a chance for all of us right here to actually all learn from each other. All of us are probably hundreds of years of experience, depending on how many of us actually contribute to comments below. Just share with us. What’s one of the mistakes you made in the past? What did you learn from it? What did you do the next time to overcome that, or what did you do the next time after you made the mistake? Comment below, and I hope this helps you arrive at your next intended destination, healthy, wealthy, and happy.
The SECRET to true happiness
I came across this amazing quote the other day that I have to share with you. The quote says, “Happiness is a butterfly which when pursued is always beyond your grasp, but which if you sit down quietly, it may alight upon you.”That’s from Nathaniel Hawthorne. My question to you is, “What makes you happy? Are you going after it? Are you kind of waiting for it to kind of find you?”
I think that if you struggle so much to search for happiness, it’s kind of unfulfilling. Let me put it like this. I hear so many people say: “Someday, I’ll be happy when….”
For instance: “I’ll be happy when I get this car. I’ll be happy when I get this house. I’ll be happy when I get this raise. I’ll be happy when I get this job.”
When we do that, we put happiness outside of ourselves, but we must find a way to find INNER happiness.
Now, there’s nothing wrong with going after things. However, is it tied to your happiness? Of course I like to celebrate. I love the pursuit. I love the journey. I love the path & the process. I love all that, but what’s the happiness while you’re doing it, right? You know what? Instead of going too deep here, let’s just talk about things that make us happy. List some things down that make you happy.
For example, for me, I love to watch football. I don’t watch a lot of it, but when I sit down to watch football, it’s like guilt-free. Something else: I love to eat. I’m happy when I’m eating. Right? These are just simple things, right? I’m going to ask you in a second to list some of those, but one of my best friends in the world — she’s like a sister to me — her name is Kim Campbell. She wrote a book called “Inner Peace, Outer Abundance,” and she met people that were out in the world, because she’s traveled all around the world, her and her husband Rob.
They’ve met people that have inner peace. They’re very spiritual. They’re just very peaceful people and happy, but they don’t have any outer abundance. They don’t have any resources or money. Then she met people that had all this outer abundance, that had all these material things and all this stuff, but they didn’t have any inner peace inside. So the worst thing that you want to do is be striving for things and running after it, but it’s an empty victory or hollow victory.
I think the goal, and it’s perfectly titled, the book that she wrote: “Inner Peace, Outer Abundance.” What is it that kind of helps you have your inner peace and your happiness? There’s probably little creature comforts or things that we do. For me, I love to work out. That’s something that really makes me happy. Psychologically and physically in your body, the endorphins can go, and all kinds of stuff happens in your brain when you work out. That probably definitely helps with most people anyway.
Now what are some things that make you happy? I know some of you are listening to this. Some of you are actually watching this. If you are watching this on the Facebook channel, then down below here, please list what are some things that make you happy, because I love to learn, because maybe they might make me happy as well. I think that, once again, I always love when you guys participate and actually listen and put the comments below, because I read each and every one of them, and I really, really thank you for that. I appreciate that. What is it that makes you happy all the time? Just list those below. I hope this helps you arrive at your next intended destination: healthy, wealthy and happy.
What would you say to your YOUNGER self?

Summary:
There's was an article that Richard Branson put out the other day and he was writing a letter to his 25 year old self. Some of you that are younger than 25 it's going to be a little bit different, but if you're older than 25 -- What would you say to yourself? Some of the things he was talking about when he was writing a letter to his 25 year old self -- he was talking about the word "entrepreneur." He says, "You might not be familiar with that word yet but that word is associated with risk and what's going to determine your success in your future is how many calculated risks you can take." I think that's a huge thing because courage is a big factor in our success or literally our happiness.
(By the way, Richard Branson’s Full Article Can Be Found HERE)
Let's just imagine, let's just say you're 60, 70 years old and you're just not happy with where you're at in life. Wouldn't it be cool to go back and talk to your 25 year old self or your 20 year old self and just encourage yourself, so to speak. Say, "Look, that courage that we had at 16 years old and 18 years old -- we've got to keep that going. We have to push through because when there's times where everything feels like the world's falling down on us, we have to keep on pushing forward." That's the type of conversation that we have to be having with ourselves. But we have to keep on having that conversation with ourselves because if we press the fast forward button and we're now 60 to 70 years old, will we be happy with our legacy?
It's kind of a sobering question, isn’t it? One of the other things that Richard Branson talks about is he says that you need to keep your loved ones and the people you respect close to you. Don't listen to your naysayers and just push forward. I know some of us have heard that many times in many different ways and it might even sound cliche. But would you rather live your live by cliches and actually have a great life or be cynical about cliches and then not even get any kind of coaching and just follow whatever you're going to do not even knowing where you're going to go and all of a sudden it's 50 years later and you're not happy?
There's a lot of great sayings out there and quotes out there that we hear many times but maybe this video's just a reminder of something we need to be thinking about. One of the things that would help us -- all of us watching this video -- is if you comment below of, what are some of the things that you would say to your younger self?
So, that's one question: What would you say to your younger self -- and then let's flip it over, it's what would you say to your older self, your older self that actually went through the things that they were supposed to do and now it's 25, 30 years later and now it's like your life is exciting, all the dreams that you thought about have come true. What would you say to that person as well?
Guys, this is just a reminder. I'm sure we've heard of different exercises like this before and things like this before but this is something that kind of gets me going. It gives you a different perspective of why you would even start something or why you would stop something, is when you stop and think about -- What would my future self think if I stop right now? I'm inches away from that vein of gold like we hear about and we just throw in the towel and quit. You're an inch away from that vein of gold.
That's why some of you need to be hearing this right now. There's a reason why I put this video together. I almost didn't because we hear about this a lot, but you know what, maybe you haven't. Maybe just one of us, one of us who hears the message is like, "OK, thank you for the reminder; it helped me today. I'm going to change my trajectory of the path I was going on because I want my older self to be proud."
OK, so with that said, I hope this helps you and reminds you to help your next intended destination healthy, wealthy and happy. Please comment below.
How to motivate YOURSELF!

Summary:
I got a question the other day, somebody was asking me how do I motivate myself. There’s several different ways that we all can motivate ourselves. I think that we’ve all heard the adage, there’s people that are motivated by pleasure or by pain. There’s a lot of us that have these aspirational goals, which I do too, and we all do.
When you think about it for a second, if everybody wanted a Ferrari they’d have it. If everybody wanted a million dollars, they’d have it. What’s a major motivator for a lot of people, and also for me too, is to actually avoid pain. I use that to actually motivate me. Let me explain, I want to give you a lot of examples, because some of you might be watching this video before the end of the year.
This is a great way to help you set some goals to get you into the next year. You could be watching this anytime of the year, it doesn’t really matter, it’ll help you. For example, let’s say you’re in some sort of...You’re an account manager, or you’re in the sales business of some sort. You need to go make a phone call, or you need to go meet new prospects, or you need to do something about drumming up new business.
There’s one thing about going, “Wow, if I get this business, if I drum up this, then I’ll earn this money.” If I don’t drum up the business, let me look at the pain right now. If I don’t drum up the business then I won’t make any sales. If I don’t make any sales, I won’t make any money. If I don’t make any money, I’ll probably get fired. If I get fired then I definitely won’t have any money. The bills keep on coming in. I still have to pay for the roof over my head, and then what am I going to eat?
If I don’t have rent, or I can’t pay my mortgage, then I’m homeless. If I’m homeless then I don’t have a place to stay, then maybe I starve to death. Sounds kind of morbid doesn’t it? This is the kind of little tricks I do in my mind. I’m just parting the curtain into my brain. This is just me, and it might help for you too.
Once again, I play it all the way down to the Nth degree. It’s kind of ridiculous, it’s almost funny, but really not, because I really take it seriously in my mind. When I’m out there, because one of businesses I go out and I meet people, and get prospects. I just think in my head, “Do I want to stick my hand out, say hello and meet someone, or do I want to be homeless, starve, and die.”
Choice right? We all have choices, all right? Let’s say you’re in a relationship that’s, maybe, not going well. You link that pain to, “Well, if I don’t fix this, then my life is going to be miserable. If my life is miserable, I’m not going to be happy.” Then you can play it down to the Nth degree.
One of the things we can never change is other people. We can only change ourselves. These are things that you can be thinking about. Maybe you really want to get a promotion in your career, or at your job, or whatever you’re doing. Let’s link to the pain of not getting promoted. Let’s play that out.
You’ll be stuck in the same position for the next ten years, twenty years, with inflation rising, and all the costs rising up, and then your salary stays the same, or even goes down. That could be an issue too. There’s several things that you can do to link pain of not doing something.
Here’s a great example that we’ve all been through at some point in our schooling. We have an assignment, the assignment is you have to write a paper. A term paper, whatever it is, so what happens? We link the pain to actually writing the paper, because we’re losing out on fun, and parties, and hanging out with our friends, and stuff like that.
We link pain to that, which means we don’t actually write the paper. Then all the sudden it gets to two days before, one day before, the night before, here’s what happens, we go, “Oh my gosh, I haven’t written my paper.” We pull an all-nighter, because now we link pain to getting an F grade, failing grade. We link pain to that, so that motivates us to actually write the paper.
Why does it really have to happen in real time with a paper in our lives? Well, let’s set it up in a way where we create a false deadline, I know that’s easier said than done. We’re all high performers right? Create this false deadline, link pain to not doing the thing that you need to do. Then play it out to the Nth degree. Get a journal, write that out, you’ll be kind of scared, be like, “Oh my God, if I don’t do this thing, or that thing. If I don’t raise my kids right. If I don’t discipline my kids, they’re going to end up being crazy.”
Whatever it is, it’s up to you to really map that out for yourself. This really helped me, and I hope this helps you if you just take me on this. I want you guys to comment below, some things that you learned from this, maybe some things that you did, some things that it helped you do. By linking pain to the thing that you’re supposed to do, linking pain to not doing it. Here’s one last example, losing weight, or getting in shape.
Our health is everything. If we don’t have health we don’t have energy. We really can’t be motivated to do anything, to be productive in this world. Link pain to not losing weight, or link pain to not eating healthy. I’m telling you, you play that out, and journal that out, what could happen. I’m telling you it’ll motivate you. It’s helped me, so I hope this helps you arrive at your next intended destination, healthy, wealthy, and happy.
