Anchors Aweigh

Today I’m going to tell you about something I’ve NEVER talked about before.

Success Anchors.

You’re probably thinking to yourself, “Success Anchors? – What in the heck is he talking about?”

So, let me give you a peek into my world, and explain this phenomenon.

Success Anchors are things that motivate, inspire and allow you to attract good things into your life.

Let me give you some examples, because my home is FILLED with them.

And in specific, my home office is filled with them.

Above my desk hangs this really cool sign that says, “For My Family”.

My kids made me this sign for Christmas last year, after watching an episode of Extreme Home Makeover.

And let me tell you, every time I see it, I’m reminded of why I do what I do, and am motivated to do even more “For My Family”.

I also have another Success Anchor hanging above my desk.

It says, “With The Help Of My Mentor, I Can Accomplish ANYTHING”.

This particular anchor has a photo of one of my mentors, Matthew Furey, as well as a hundred dollar bill that he gave me when I was attending one of his seminars.

Truth is, he gave everyone in attendance a hundred dollar bill.

And while everyone else probably spent theirs on something, I decided to use mine for a Success Anchor so I could attract even more munee into my life.

Every time I see this anchor, I’m reminded of how much Matthew has already helped me, by showing me how to increase my income.

But – more importantly – I’m reminded that there’s plenty more munee to be had, when I continue following his advice.

I also have many photos that serve as anchors.

Photos of goals.

Photos of my family and I having fun.

Photos of friends.

Photos of my clients.

And make no mistake about it, I don’t limit myself to placing Success Anchors solely in my office.

Like I mentioned, they’re all around our home.

For example:

In our living room there’s a beautiful piece of art that Lisa and I purchased while we were in Hawaii last year.

Every time we look at it, we’re reminded of all the fun we had on that vacation.

And… it also motivates us to take many more vacations.

I could go on and on, giving you specific examples of Success Anchors, but I think you get the idea.

So let me show you how to use them for yourself by asking – what motivates you?

Is it family?

Is it a new vehicle?

Is it a new home?

Is it a vacation?

Make a list of things that motivate you, and find items that will serve as Success Anchors.

This could be photos of family and friends, photos of your goals from magazines, brochures or the internet, items that have sentimental value, etc.

Take a few minutes to locate these items, and begin placing them around your home.

Place them near your desk, on your refrigerator, in your bathroom – all around your home.

You may decide to use framed photos or artwork as Success Anchors, which is great, because they can be placed in any room of your home.

But…

Let me give you fair warning.

Once you have these anchors in place - the tools, strategies and resources I send your way are going to put your business into hyperdrive.

And when it happens, be sure to let me know how great your life has become.


Dedicated to your success,
Kevin Thompson
