Take That First Step…
August 13, 2008
It’s no secret that I’ve been over here working my butt off. Product launch, speaking, creating new ideas and products, networking, hitting the gym, etc.
I don’t consider that special and neither should you. But you should listen up to the message I have to share with you about taking that first step…
I notice that before I get started I tend to get a lot of anxiety. Those voices start going off, “What if this doesn’t work? Can you even do this? What will they say?” You know what I a talking about.
Those voices used to paralyze me from taking action. But I’ve learned that this is completely normal. It’s our body’s natural defense mechanism for keeping us safe.
The keyword from that last sentence was “safe.”
Being safe doesn’t get you to where you want to be. How many great leaders, role models and millionaires have played it safe and gotten to where they are now?
Exactly.
The other thing to keep in mind is that you NEVER know what’s going to open up for you after you just do it. And it never fails to amaze me what happens after I just get out there and do it.
So from my personal experience, I just completed the Business Credit Infusion product launch with my partner Mark. We didn’t set the world on FIRE like I had hoped but here’s what happened.
- Lined up 5 speaking gigs because I got the attention of the people that were watching what was going on
- Came up with with a new product idea (to be announced soon) that will empower more business owners and entrepreneurs
- Systematized my business - It truly was a “duh” moment when I realized this at a Dan Kennedy Event in Orlando
There’s a whole lot more, but I’ll save it for another time. The most important thing to do is take that first step…you’ll never know what will open up for you!
(Just like a chance meeting at a Wealth Building Annex Event with James Cheatham who was Dave Thomas’ right hand mand at Wendys!)
Persistence by Calvin Coolidge
July 2, 2008
This is worthy of printing out and posting on the wall. This is from the 30th President of the United States, Calvin Coolidge.
DUSTIN FUN FACT: Calvin Coolidge is the only President to have been born on July 4th.
Enjoy 
“Persistence”
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not. Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not. Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not. The world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

DustinMathews.com - My Butt Is On The Line
August 10, 2007
I belong to a mastermind group where one of the things we do is hold each other accountable. Some think of it as a contest, while others think of it as a way to motivate themselves to get stuff done.
Here’s the kicker, if I don’t complete my goals by the date (Sept. 11) then there is a pain. In this case, I have chosen to give up sweet tea (I swear this runs in my blood stream) and I will donate $1000 to a charity!
Think I’m motivated to get it done…YES!
So here’s what my butt is on the line for…
1. Re-design www.DustinMathews.com with adding video and FREE bonuses!
2. Finish off a sales letter and an additional website
3. Create a business card sales letter (to be posted soon)
4. Create 12 articles on marketing and have them submitted once a month (for SEO)
5. Memorize he 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Sept. 11…I’ll keep you posted!
