Who is Johnny Wimbrey?

Article courtesy of: Winning Words "Special Edition" by Nickolove Lovemore

Imagine growing up in the projects, living on welfare. Your father is an alcoholic and he abuses your mother. In fact, one of your earliest memories is living in a battered women's shelter.

One day he even puts a gun to your head and tells you,
"I love you but I will kill you."

Imagine a childhood surrounded by gangs and drugs.

Imagine being brought up in a society where it is commonplace to avenge a life by taking a life.

How do you think your life story would unfold?

Well three boys lived under these conditions. One has been in and out of prison. One is a well-respected school educator. And the youngest, Johnny Wimbrey, is on his way to Hollywood.

Nature or Nurture? Each child was brought up under identical conditions yet each life unfolded differently. I believe that while both our environment and our upbringing help to shape our character, ultimately it is our ATTITUDE that counts.

"Your living is determined not so much by what life brings you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens." - Lewis L. Dunnington

Normally, it is said that the word 'but' negates everything before it. Yet, somehow, when Johnny Wimbrey was told the words "I love you but I will kill you", it was the words "I love you" that he heard over and above everything else. Three powerful words indeed. These words gave him hope.

He believes that his brother who is currently in prison for the third time heard the words "I will kill you". He is now serving a 40-year sentence in State Penitentiary for aggravated robbery. It might as well be a life sentence.

Johnny's oldest brother chose, from an early age, to stay on the straight and narrow. Where did that child find the strength of character? What is certain is that with every decision he made to do the 'right thing' it became just that little bit easier. He has been in the ministry since he was 18 years old and became principal of a public junior high school at age 30.

"Every moment of your life you're in a character-building process. You cannot stop the process of character-building but you can control what you allow to build your character. The very nature of who you are." - Johnny Wimbrey

So what of Johnny? For a while his life could have swung in any direction and it did. At times he was literally selling drugs on the street on Saturday night and singing hymns in church on Sunday morning. But it came to a point where he realised that he had to make a choice. He decided to turn his back completely on a life that would've most likely landed him in jail or in the morgue. Judging how his life has been transformed over the ensuing years, one could say he made the right decision.

He has gone from being an ex-drug dealer to a success phenomenon. He is a best selling author, an international keynote/motivational speaker plus a success coach and trainer. Now he is about to host his own television show - The Johnny Show.

When he announced that he wanted to host his own television show many poured scorn on his ambitions. It couldn't be done he was told. And here's an important point - never let another person dream for you; they will dream too small. Johnny wasn't deterred. After everything he has been through in his life he knew that it wasn't a question of if he could do it but how he could do it.

"Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude." - W.W. Ziege

It is said that you don't have to know how you are going to achieve your goals. You have to clearly define what it is you want to achieve, believe that you can achieve it and take action. Your initial actions may seem insignificant but you have no idea what they will lead to.

What is all the more remarkable is that when Johnny announced his intention to host his own show he didn't have any Hollywood connections. However, he didn't let that put him off. Johnny will tell you that,
"It's not just about setting a goal. It's about seeing the possibility."
He could see the possibility.

Soon after, while travelling from one of his many speaking engagements he found himself seated next to someone who had just the right connections he needed to break onto the Hollywood scene. It was the first time this person was meeting Johnny yet he offered to help him achieve his dream.

"If we are basically positive in attitude, expecting and envisioning pleasure, satisfaction and happiness, we will attract and create people, situations, and events which conform to our positive expectations." - Shakti Gawain

Sigmund Freud said you become a product of your environment. I challenge that. You become what you think about.

"Where you come from has nothing to do with where you are going." - Johnny Wimbrey

If someone with such a disadvantaged background can turn their life around and be a positive influence on thousands of people across the globe what level of success can you achieve in your own life with a positive mental attitude?

Happy 3rd Birthday Success University

Success University was three years old on 24 January 2008. I have been a member for 10 months and find it so beneficial as I am constantly challenged by new training material. In fact, I have to discipline myself to keep up and not fall behind on the wide choice of courses. Fortunately, self-discipline is one of my strengths, learning is a desire and never a burden.

All students benefit from Jim Rohn's one year course "Weekly Success Plan" with tasks to complete making sure it is not just theory. I discovered Jim in 1991 at a business seminar and he is my favourite teacher with absolute pearls of wisdom. Here are a couple of things he says about the importance of education:

“Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.”

“If someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn't need motivation to speed him up. What he needs is education to turn him around”

Have a look at Success University featured on Fox News: www.successuniversity.com/successu/foxvideo

Is it easy to always find or rather make time to study? No, but again let's hear what Jim Rohn says,

"Successful people do what unsuccessful people won't"

"Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins."

You can subscribe to Jim Rohn's free ezine newsletter which is another source of teaching. You can visit the Success University site and join Success University for just $2. The $2 goes to feed hungry children so you are helping them whilst helping yourself.

I believe giving $2 to join Success University is much better than buying a newsletter. It is my #1 source of training and inspiration.

Invest in Your Own Personal Growth

I suggest a goal for 2008 is to invest in your own personal growth.

Jim Rohn, top business philosopher said,
"Formal education will make you a living. Self-education will make you a fortune."

Make a commitment to personal growth. Personal stagnation is the cause of decay and failure in people’s lives. People want to be around people who are moving forward in all areas of their life. You are not standing still. You are either spiralling upwards or spiralling downwards.

“When you’re green you’re growing. When you’re ripe, your’re rotten”

Here is a video collection of some Jim Rohn's inspiring quotes:

Jim Rohn recommends reading and keeping a journal, something he has been doing for the past 40+ years:

"Be a collector of good ideas, but don't trust your memory. The best collecting place for all of the ideas and information that comes your way is your journal."

"The reason why I spend so much money for my journals is to press me to find something valuable to put in them."

"There are three things to leave behind: your photographs, your library and your personal journals. These things are certainly going to be more valuable to future generations than your furniture!"

"Don't use your mind for a filing cabinet. Use your mind to work out problems and find answers; file away good ideas in your journal."

Click here to subscribe to a free ezine of Jim Rohn's teachings. You can also look at Jim Rohn's books and audio-visual training programs with 20-60% discount.

If you are serious about investing in yourself with top personal development training material, I recommend you visit Success University. You can join for a trial 14 days membership for a charitable donation of just $2.

Every month I am inspired and educated with new training material online as well as receiving a newsletter, CD and DVD by post. For example, through Success University I discovered Carol Tuttle and am now reading her inspiring "Remembering Wholeness".

I listen to the CDs in my car. It is a better use of my time than listening to the radio and it changes my state so that I am ready to give the best of myself and hopefully inspire others.

What Does Success Look Like?

I want to share an article I received in my inbox today then add my comments:

Who would you judge is more successful?
Someone who drives a 1979 Ford pickup truck or someone who drives a brand-new Mercedes sedan?

Someone who has lived in the same house in Omaha, Nebraska since 1958 or someone who has just traded up to a custom home on 5 acres in an exclusive development?

If the man driving the pickup truck was Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart, he would definitely be more financially successful than whoever was driving the Mercedes. If Sam were alive today, he would be the richest man on earth with a net worth of $80 billion, surpassing even Bill Gates (at a paltry $59 billion). Even after Sam made his fortune, you would never pick him out of a crowd as a rich man. He still drove his 1979 Ford pickup truck and wore Wal-Mart clothes.

The second-richest man in the world, Warren Buffet, is worth $52 billion and has lived in the same house in Omaha, Nebraska since 1958.

These examples illustrate that it is difficult to judge a person's success by appearance alone. Even so, TV shows, newspapers and magazines never tire of telling us that we're not successful unless we live in a big home, drive an expensive car, and wear a certain brand of clothing.

The culprit behind all this is what I like to call the Giant Marketing Machine (GMM), otherwise known as the advertising industry. The GMM is a multi-billion dollar industry and its sole purpose is to manipulate us into spending our money on their clients' products. They do this by:

Trying to convince us that we can't live without their product.
Trying to convince us that buying their product will improve our lives. Often, products are linked to desirable lifestyles and/or beautiful people. The GMM will say "If you buy my product, you can be beautiful too!" and "If you buy our product, look at all the fun you can have!"
Constantly exposing us to advertising. Advertising exists:
- On the radio
- On TV
- In the movie theater before the previews
- On the sides of public buses
- On billboards
- On clothing
- In magazines and newspapers
- On almost every web page on the Internet
Advertising even exists in movies and TV shows. The next time you see a movie character drinking Coke instead of Pepsi, realize that Coke probably paid a hefty fee to have their product prominently displayed. This is called "product placement".

If you ever visit Texas, you might hear someone say, "He's big hat and no cattle". Someone is "big hat and no cattle" when they look successful and prosperous (by wearing a big hat), but aren't (they don't own any cattle). Just because someone drives a BMW doesn't mean they're successful. Anyone can lease a BMW for a few hundred dollars a month. There are a lot of people who drive Mercedes Benzes but live in shacks. They wear Rolexes and fashionable clothing but can barely pay their electric bill.

There's nothing wrong with driving a Mercedes as long as you can afford it. The problem lies with people who take on huge amounts of debt trying to present a facade of success. The big homes come with big mortgages, the fancy cars are leased, and the fashionable clothes are purchased with credit cards. Little do people know that taking on debt subjects them to financial servitude - a form of slavery - where their debt determines how much they have to work, often at jobs they don't enjoy.

By allowing others to define success for us, we give them power over our lives. If we let them tell us how to spend our money and go into debt buying their products, we let them control how much time we spend at our jobs. We should all strive to be "no hat, but lots of cattle". There's a certain power that comes from driving a 10-year-old car but knowing that, if you wanted to, you could walk into a car dealership and write a check for a new car.

We can't stop the deluge of advertising that saturates our lives. However, by being aware of the GMM and its methods, we can minimize the destructive impact on our finances. Don't let others do your thinking for you. Control your mind and your thoughts, and you can control your money and your life.

This guest post was written by Michael Mihalik, author of Debt is Slavery: and 9 Other Things I Wish My Dad Had Taught Me About Money (Paperback). Read his book to learn how to gain control of your finances, pay off your debt and create financial security using the same techniques Mike used to triumph over a paralyzing amount of debt. Available at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk.

I love this article. So many people ask me why do you want to be successful? If you had a million dollars, what would you spend it on? What sort of house would you live in? What car would you drive? Build your dream board with photos of what you want to own to create a desirable livestyle. By craving such financial goals, we are indeed buying into someone else's goals machine which makes them rich.

"Follow the trail to your dreams, not the path of others’ expectations."~Byrd Baggett ~

Personal development is not just about having things. It is about being someone. Investing time in others to help them achieve what they want. I have a Dutch exam next week and today took three hours out of my precious time to visit a course member who has broken her leg just to give her some papers to help with her revision. Did I have to do that? No, I could have sent them but she might not receive them in time. I took the time to help someone else and by so doing, focussed on some of the revision for myself and listened to excellent training CDs in my car from Success University. Training CDs which otherwise might be gathering dust.

Don't get me wrong. I would love millions in the bank but not to go on spending sprees because I know that consumerism is an insatiable drug. We quickly tire of the new purchase and want to upgrade so it does not provide satisfaction.

It is too easy to obtain credit to "Buy now, pay later" but the true cost of compounded interest is scary. Buying consumable goods on credit is foolish. As the article states, so is leasing a fancy car to look good. I was once told "Fake it till you make it". When German football star Jurgen Klinsman moved to Tottenham Hotspur, Mercedes wanted to give him a top of the range model free. He declined, preferring his comfortable VW Beetle. The car does not maketh the man. What is inside determines our true grade of success. What is long-lasting is the knowledge of helping someone. Showing others that mediocrity is not the only choice. I suppose I want that to be my legacy.

Ten Commandments of Goal-Setting

"A goal without a plan is just a dream".

NOTHING in life happens without goals. Nothing ! When you get up in the morning you have a goal of making it to work safely and having a productive day. When you go on vacation you have a goal of having fun. When you get married you have a goal of making each other happy. Everything you strive for is goal driven. And, as a result, the manner in which you go about achieving these goals is is CRITICAL !!!

That having been said, I would like to share with you what has become known to me as THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF GOAL SETTING...

1. THOU SHALL BE DECISIVE: Success is a choice. You must decide WHAT you want, WHY you want it and HOW you plan to achieve it. No one else can, will, or SHOULD do that for you. It's your goal and your responsibility.

2. THOU SHALL STAY FOCUSED: A close relative to being decisive, but your ability to sustain your focus from beginning to end determines the timing and condition of your outcomes. Don't let outside distractions make your goals out of focus.

3. THOU SHALL WELCOME FAILURE: The fundamental question is not whether you should accept failure. You have no choice but to expect it as a temporary condition on the pathway of progress. Rather, the question is how to anticipate failure and redirect resources to grow from the experience. Remember what Les Brown said, "If you fall down, fall on your back because as long as you can LOOK UP you can GET UP".

4. THOU SHALL WRITE DOWN THY GOALS: Your mind, while blessed with permanent memory, is cursed with lousy recall. People forget things. WRITE DOWN YOUR GOALS !!! Put them where you can see them every day. Send a copy to a friend, family member or a member of your upline. Establish accountability.

5. THOU SHALL PLAN THOROUGHLY: It is a proven fact that planning saves time at a 10:1 ratio in execution. PROPER PLANNING PREVENTS POOR PERFORMANCE !!!

6. THOU SHALL INVOLVE OTHERS: Nobody goes through life alone. Establish your own "Persoanl Board of Directors", people whose wisdom, knowledge and character you respect, to help achieve your goals. Once again, USE YOUR UPLINE!!! That's what we are here for.

7. THOU SHALL TAKE PURPOSEFUL ACTION: Success is not a spectator sport. Achievement demands action. You cannot expect to arrive at success without having made the trip.

8. THOU SHALL REWARD THYSELF: Rewards work !!! Think of what you will give yourself as a result of hard work, focus and persistance. Create your own ACTION = REWARD program and implement it. You DESERVE IT !

9. THOU SHALL INSPECT WHAT THOU EXPECTs: The shelf life of all plans are limited. No plan holds up against opposition. Everything changes. Therefore, inspect frequently and closely what is going on with your plan. It's an insurance policy on your success.

10. THOU SHALL MAINTAIN PERSONAL INTEGRITY: Maintain your COMMITMENT to your COMMITMENT! Set your goals, promise yourself that you will achieve them and eliminate wiggle room and excuses. That's personal integrity. EXCUSES and LAME JUSTIFICATION are the poisons that kill all goals!!!

Remember, these "Ten Commandments of Goal Setting" nor anything else ever placed in front of you will help you achieve your goals if you do not IMPLEMENT THEM ! Like I told someone very close to me the other day, "Those motivational cd's aren't going to do you a bit of good until you take the plastic wrap off the sleeve".

Mindaset (n)
a set of beliefs or a way of thinking that determine somebody's behavior and outlook

Did you ever stop to consider that your current wealth position, either good or bad stems from your mindset about wealth?

But it is true -- All wealth begins with a mindset that sets the stage for the creation of specific business strategies that will allow you to generate any amount of income you truly desire.

If you are ready to "Change Your Mindset", then do not miss our call with David Neagle on Wednesday, July 11, at 8 PM Central.

For any of us to generate a high-income and create for ourselves a high-net worth, we must be capable and willing to let go of limiting beliefs that leave us wanting and wishing, but barely if ever, receiving.

In our next faculty teleseminar David Neagle will present "Creating a Wealthy Mindset for Entrepreneurs", and if you are ready to shed the survival mindset most of us have from birth and reset your perception of the world we live in, then you do not want to miss this call.

Wealth is not a difficult or elusive thing to create in your life, in fact once you understand how, it's rather easy.

This call will teach you how to:

Identify a survival thinking process

Discover the 2 essential things you must know in order to become wealthy

.

How to make decisions that attract wealthy opportunities.

Learn secret strategies used by all wealthy people to overcome fear, create massive goals and create abundance.

About David Neagle:
If you knew making one decision to change just one thing about yourself, would lead you to the life you've always dreamed of, would you be willing to make that one decision to change?

David Neagle knows what it's liked to be faced with that decision and to make that change. When a tragic accident nearly took his life, David awoke to the potential he had left untapped within himself.

He made a decision that day to begin the journey that has changed his entire life. While strengthening his relationship with his family, and with God, David focused on prosperity. And, with one simple change in 12 months David tripled his income and within the next two years the former high school drop out was an executive corporate manager, stock investor, and business owner.

He continually sought new mentors with each new level he attained, and studied every great achiever he could find any information on at all! But, it wasn't until David began studying "The Science of Getting Rich" by Wallace D Wattles that he fully understood the transformation he underwent.

He is the author of 5 books, David has been the guest speaker and trainer for many organizations. With his wife and business partner, David founded Life is Now Inc, a company dedicated to creating leaders through spiritually based success principles. Together, they have shared their experience and expertise with thousands of people from all over the world.

Cheers and applause for David Neagle:

David Neagle has changed my life. I met David two years ago and when I attended his seminar, I really had no idea what changes were ahead. My life has led me down an incredible road. Not only did I multiply my income six times in just 45 days, I didn't even realize the opportunity was their until David showed me how to find it. I now am living my dream. I can reach out and touch it because it's real. I have a true sense of purpose and a deep respect for myself; not to mention the unlimited income potential. What an awesome feeling. If you are looking to make dramatic positive changes in your life, you owe it to yourself to go to David's seminar. You'll be glad you did.
Denise Houpt
Slippery Rock, PA

After a successful career with several high profile multinational corporations and building an investment banking business in NYC, I was searching for a new rewarding business opportunity. I made a decision to enter the direct sales business. However, I felt like I couldn't get out of my own way, a frustrating feeling as I hadn't experienced anything quite like it in my business career.

I listened to one of David's presentations and shortly afterwards asked him to assist me in building my business.

Well, a few months later I've gone from having months with $0 sales to generating a consistent multiple 5-figure monthly income. David has taught me to change the way I think and make decisions in business and life. He has assisted me in developing a level of awareness and enlightenment that wasn't even part of my imagination when I met him. If you are interested in taking your life and business to the next level open up to what this incredible teacher has to share!

Set Your Goals on Paper

Do you have clear goals? Have you written them down? We are always hearing about goals and how important they are and yet most people only have vague goals.

A study was conducted with the Yale Graduating Class of 1953. They surveyed all the students asking them whether they had written down goals for their life:

• 3% had put their goals in writing
• 97% had not written down goals or even thought of any at all.

Twenty years later, these same people were re-interviewed. The astonishing result was the the 3% who had written down their goals were enjoying incomes ten times greater than those of the 97% combined!

Many people think of goals in terms of their buying power for materialistic items like a big house with a pool, a sports car, a boat, a new kitchen but for a truly balanced life choose goals in each of these six areas:

1. Family and Home
2. Financial and Career
3. Spiritual and Ethical
4. Physical and Health
5. Social and Cultural
6. Mental and Educational

Rather than only financial goals, consider the sort of family you want to have, the sports you wish to pursue, clubs you wish to join, community groups you can contribute to, voluntary programs you can join, how far you want to go in formal education and the subjects you will study in your adult life. I have a friend who is reading two Bachelor degrees simultaneously with The Open University, just for interest. Success University offer short on-line courses in all areas of life.

Goals must always be stated in the positive. Your subconscious mind cannot distinguish between a positive and negative so if you say, "I will not be untidy", your subconscious interprets that as, "I will be untidy." That will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Be specific in your goals. "I want to earn more money" is not specific and you may receive the answer with a 1% pay increase. Instead state, "By age XX, I shall be earning XXX amount of money." You might say, "I want a sports car" and be offered a 20 year old MG by a friend when in fact you had a Ferrari in mind. If you can clearly see what it is that you want, if you can visualise and describe it in writing or with a photo or drawing, your subconscious will lead you along the path to making a reality.

If you want to visit somewhere unknown, you need a map. So think of written down goals as creating your map. Choose words and pictures to cement your destinations in your mind. Make a montage and call it your goals board, or your dream board if you prefer.

If you want to own a certain model of car, find a good photo and include it in the montage. Perhaps you want to visit somewhere specific eg Paris or Japan so find a photo which instantly makes you think of that place. Cut photos out of catalogues.

Place this dream board where you can see it daily. Share it with people close to you as this makes a commitment on which your subconscious can focus.

"If a man knows not what harbour he seeks, any wind is the right wind." - Seneca

Someone write, "A dream is a goal without legs." To change a dream into a reachable goal requires clarity, details, a clear vision on which you can focus so that you can recognize opportunities along the way to its attainment.

If you do not know what your goal looks like, how will you recognize it when you reach it?
