Dear Dolphins,

I love watching people win, don’t you? Winners are so happy and joy-full! Their eyes are full of tears. Their bodies are full of ecstatic energy. And especially, their hearts are full of love and gratitude. No one wins alone. Behind every Gold Medal and every Golden Globe and every Oscar is a team of people who made contributions to the winner, and the first words the winners speak are “Thank you!” to all the people who helped them realize their dream.

I love watching the Olympics and the Academy Awards and all those competitions. I revel in the smiles and whoops and the pumping fists. The winners communicate their energy to me and I soak it up and use it to spur me on towards my goals. I may not win an Olympic medal or an Oscar, but I can win in my life today. That’s the Dolphin Way.

Some people have different reactions to other people’s wins. Tuna will feel worse about themselves, thinking, “Why don’t I ever win anything?” Sharks won’t watch them, thinking, “I don’t care about anybody’s wins but my own!”
You can choose your reaction, you know. You are choosing to be a Dolphin (or at least a Dolphin-in-Training) by reading this newsletter. I’m a Tuna-in-Recovery myself. And there aren’t any Sharks on this list.

So congratulations, Dolphins! Go win today!

Love and hugs,
Chellie

The Winning Edge

“In each life there comes at least one moment which, if recognized and seized, transforms the course of that life forever. Rely, therefore, on radical trust, even though the moment may call for you to leap, empty-handed into the void.”—Ralph Blum

Every winner knows that leap of faith. Someone told me once that “A leap of faith is not a leap from Point A to Point B. It’s a leap from Point A.”

Once you decide to leap, you need three things to succeed:

1. Positive belief in yourself and your ability to succeed

2. Positive action to back up your belief

3. A Coach to guide, motivate, and inspire you

The Law of Attraction says like attracts like. You have to believe you can succeed at accomplishing your goal. See yourself winning the job, the race, the contest. See yourself on the podium accepting the award. No Olympians got there by thinking “I’ll never make it!”

The Law of Action says you can’t just sit around doing affirmations on your couch, eating potato chips, and watching television and expect your goals to drop in on you after dinner. Can you name one Olympic medalist who just did positive thinking but never worked out? You are what you consistently do, and being successful at anything takes practice.

A Coach helps you get your goals quicker. They show you what you’re missing, where you fall short, what needs improvement. They encourage you and lift you up. They give you a road map to the future, offering support, guidance, instruction, knowledge, new ideas, and short cuts. What sports figure doesn’t have one?

When you’ve got these three things operating in your life every day, congratulations! Now you need one more:

4. Peristence

This is where most people fail. Success requires consistency. One of my favorite quotes is this:

“I write only when I’m inspired. Fortunately, I’m inspired every morning at 9:00.”—William Faulkner

Some people would rather believe that others are just more naturally talented, or luckier, or richer, or better connected, and that’s why so-and-so’s a success and they’re not. People are always saying to me, “But Chellie, it’s easy for you. You’re a natural and an extrovert!” It’s just not so. I was so nervous when I first started going to networking groups, my hands shook and my legs barely held me up. I stood around and waited for people to come over and talk to me, like a wallflower at a dance.

Then I got a coach, took workshops and seminars, read business books, motivational books, and watched other successful people to figure out how they did it. I tried and failed many times before I succeeded. The truth is you have to practice over and over and fail over and over before you discover how to actualize your dream in physical reality. Just because you got ten nos in a row doesn’t mean you’ll never make it. They’re just training exercises.

That’s the gig here on the Earth plane. That’s why you have to love what you do - because otherwise you’ll give up when it gets hard.

Success is a percentage game and it's not a big percentage. An article in Card Player magazine compared a salesperson and a poker player thusly:

"Thnk of a salesperson working on 100 percent commission. He wakes up every morning with no guarantees. He could go out there and close every prospect he has, or he could get destroyed. There are no guarantees. But he has a certain talent that makes him better than the norm, and that talent shows up every day. If he goes on enough appointments, his talent - his "edge" over his competition - shows up enough times to become statistically significant. It's a numbers game. The more effectively he manages his time and appointments, the more his edge is converted into profit."

Being in your own business is very challenging. You have to believe in yourself and your product or service so completely it makes you enthusiastic and motivated to do the work. That's what attracts customers and makes you able to handle the sales routines and the "nos" along the way.

When I went full-time in the workshop business, I knew I had a wonderful service that really produced more income for people, but I didn't know if I could sell enough workshops to actually make a living at it. But I had to try! And if I gave up, getting a "real job" was my next option and that was so horrible to contemplate that I just kept picking up the phone and talking to people. It didn't matter how many people said no or not now – I just thought of them as ships that were still sailing out there carrying my message. I have a woman in my workshop now who told me that she had been wanting to take my class for 13 years! The important thing was to keep calling people until I got enough yeses to pay my bills. Fear drove me a bit, but hope of achieving my goals and attaining my dreams drove me more. With practice, I got better at it and enrolled a higher percentage of people. My workshops improved as my own skills improved. And my financial picture brightened along with them.

It's a simple business really. Network to meet prospects, call the people you met and enroll a percentage of them, teach the workshop. And now it's so much fun to help people prosper and prosper myself doing it! I love my life!

"Man has always assumed he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much--the wheel, New York, wars, and so on--while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man for precisely the same reason."--Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
