Why Do Horses Wear Blinders?

I just returned from a great seminar given by Brock Felt and Buck Rizvi who are 2 really great marketers and have created a step by step program for anyone interested in getting into the supplement business. On the second night they had a networking dinner which I attended. At this dinner I sat with a great young couple from California who were fairly new to marketing in general but seemed very ambitious.

But as I have learned thru the years ambition is just not enough.. It is often very close to dreaming. They were there gathering information and listening to anyone willing to give them advice…

A FEW MAJOR PROBLEMS

The first problem with getting advice is that you MUST BE CAREFUL who you are getting that advice from. If for example you wanted to earn 100,000 dollars you should NOT be taking advice from someone earning 50,000. Sounds simple huh? Now try it… Assess the person BEFORE you accept the advice

Second issue was that they were clearly getting overwhelmed.. They had that “deer in the headlights” look. If you have ever driven down a road and seen a deer in the middle of the road just staring at you than you know what they looked like….

Everyone wants to just plug in and copy.. We are all looking for that “magic pill” that will make us all the money we could ever need without any effort or hard work on our part… Well there definitely ARE shortcuts, but you must also realize that there are also mulitple ways to “get there”

I told this young couple to look out the window. Our hotel was “in” the airport in Orlando. On the runway you could see about 10 different airlines all coming from different places and all having landed safely in Orlando… BIG IDEA– there is more than one way to get “there” —Just find the quickest most efficient way for YOU

See they were so overwhelmed that I was afraid they were very close to contracting “analysis paralysis” they would be so busy processessing everything they just learned that they would be paralyzed and do nothing at all…

SO WHAT DOES ALL THIS HAVE TO DO WITH HORSES?

Glad you asked.. Ever watch a horse race and see a horse wearing blinders? Often the horse with the blinders on is also the one who comes in the top 3 of that race. The blinders are put on the horse so it doesn’t get distracted.. Take it from me– an ADHD … you must not allow yourself to get distracted.

BOTTOM LINE here is that you should just focus on getting one step done each day. Don’t even worry if you mess it up…you can always correct it BUT YOU MUST ALWAYS CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD.
I often asked why I succeeded even though I barely graduated high school and had no special advantages…
The answer is I IMPLEMENTED and just “failed my way FORWARD”
SMALL CONSTANT STEPS — WITHOUT DISTRACTION — will allow you to get “there” too…
