This lesson is called massive action versus the law of attraction, and it shows you how to combine
these two to actually have success and develop a true millionaire mindset.
First, before we combine these together, we need to look at what massive action is versus what the
law of attraction is.
So since most people are more familiar with the law of Attraction, let's start there.
So the law of attraction is the belief that positive or negative thoughts bring positive or negative
experience into a person's life.
What that means is basically the contents of your mind become your reality.
That is what the law of attraction basically states.
Now, the reason this lesson is important is because if you just sit here and meditate just like this
girl right here, it doesn't necessarily mean you're going to attract anything positive in your life.
And I want to be real with you.
I want to be completely honest in this academy in order to actually have results.
You can't just sit there and you can't just hope that they come in your life and pray that they do.
A lot of people live this way.
Of course, you need to be positive.
But this is not enough to really make an impact.
Positive thinking does nothing without action followed up by it?
It's a great start to just think positive.
But if you don't take those actions along with it, you're not going to get anywhere at all.
And a lot of people don't do that.
A lot of people don't get out of their own head.
They don't get out of their own way and they don't ever start freelancing in the first place.
And you need to just start somewhere.
Take that first action.
And not only, you know, is it just one action, the one action builds off, the next builds off the
next.
The truth is it takes massive levels of action and repeated action to attract what you want in life.
Nothing great was built overnight, and nothing worth having is easy to achieve.
Persistence and perseverance are the keys to success.
So when you start looking at how you can combine these two?
Right, so the law of attraction, you need to stay persistent with this.
You need to make sure when you wake up, you write your way down, you're thinking positive.
You want to attract the best things to your life, but then actually having the persistence and perseverance
to take those actions every day, those repeated actions, even when you don't feel like it.
And every marathon starts with the first step.
So the love action has to be combined with this law of attraction, like I said.
So even when you just do the smallest thing, every little action you do in the day builds off of each
other.
Same thing with every marathon starts with the first step, you just start.
You just need to start taking those actions.
And the reason is very important.
With freelancing and with any, you know, online business or anything in general is that it's easy
to get stuck, like I said in this thinking phase.
And this research phase, but action is really what is going to get you to that next step.
You need to start being obsessed with getting to where you want to go.
So take taking massive action means making your goal or the act of accomplishing your goal, your sole
obligation.
That's what it means.
So you don't have to think of being obsessed as a bad thing.
Right?
Well, it is bad if you're obsessed with the wrong things, but you're if you're obsessed with the right
things.
If you're obsessed with providing for yourself, for providing with your family, for being the first
one in your family to actually be able to give back to your community, that's the kind of obsession
I'm talking about taking the first step to define your ultimate goal.
This is another way you can start to combine these two.
You need to start to understand where your focus is going to be, and the way to do that is to understand,
like we said, what your ultimate goal is.
It's a little bit different than what your why is, but it's your ultimate goal.
Where are you going?
What is that end goal you want to get to?
Is it being, you know, a full time freelancer and having multiple clients that fully supports your
life?
You need to understand what that goal is, because then only then is when you can actually start to
develop your circle of focus.
So the circle of focus, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and a bunch of other successful people all attribute
their success to one thing they had to boil it down, you know, they were asked this in many, many
interviews.
They all boil it down to the word focus.
And this is especially important when you're freelancing because there's so many different things you
can do.
And like I said, in this course, we're going to be using Upwork as our, you know, platform for freelancing,
and this is what your circle of focus should look like.
Upwork You should be focusing on building your profile following these modules and starting to land
clients.
But that's not always what happens, because let's say you start to do something else now you build
a website.
So not only are you spending your time on trying to get clients on Upwork, but now you said, you know
what?
Oh, I think I need to have a website.
So this might throw you off.
But the truth is, you don't need a website or an audience or a social media presence to freelance to
get started.
The truth is, you know, when I started out, I thought I needed to do this.
I literally spent like 750 on a logo, a branding package.
I spent weeks building my website.
I paid for hosting domains, all of these different things.
And the truth was I was spreading myself and my focus too thin.
So let's say you're on Upwork.
And like I said, you start trying to build a website and focus on all of that.
Now your focus is diverted into two things.
So instead of putting all of your energy into making something great, you're kind of half assing two
things.
And this is really when it starts to get dangerous, when your circle of focus looks like a pizza pie.
And this is the point I had gotten to because I wasn't having the success I wanted when I was doing
things the old way when I was trying to generate the demand in my freelancing services, as opposed
to going out there and capturing the millions of clients that are already posting jobs and looking for
work.
So this is what it looks like when your circle of focus is spread so thin.
Well, you might think you need to post on Facebook three times a day post on LinkedIn Instagram.
And then what does that leave?
20 percent now of your energy is on Upwork.
And this is where you can really start to shoot yourself in the foot.
You think you're doing more, but in reality, you're actually doing less because the quality you're
going to put in when your focus is shifted all throughout your day, all throughout your week on all
of these different things is not going to help you get to that next level.
So understanding that you need to combined massive action with the law of attraction and you need to
keep your circle of focus on one thing.
Once you understand that, then you understand what is actually required to make these two work together.
So once you have mastered that one single thing on your circle of focus, that's when you can actually
move on and then move on to something else.
But make sure you're not moving on until you've mastered that first thing first.
So now you understand massive action versus the law of attraction.
