Are You as Dumb as a Wombat?

By henrybaker

One of my favourite mentors once told me “If you don’t offend someone every day, you’re not trying hard enough”.

When I first heard him say that I was a little kinda ’shocked’.

Offend people - how’s that gonna help?

Surely I’ll just alienate the people I want to attract as clients.

But interestingly, that is not the case.

And let me just make something clear… I don’t mean running around screaming obscentities, shouting abuse, whacking in the ‘F’ word left right and center or calling people fat, skinny, bald, ugly, poor, stuck-up, stupid, ignorant, arrogant, slow, dumb, weird or a failure (as much as I’d often like too).

Rather it’s a method of ‘pushing the boundaries’ and connecting with people beyond all the cr*p (there ya go…) that’s floating all around us.

It’s really a case of ‘If you’ve got something to say’, then ’say it’ (or do it).

Quite honestly on a few occasions it has come back and ‘taken a big chunk outta my butt’. But a little wry smile, an apology and a determination to move on always pops that back to bed.

And this idea of not be afraid to say something different, do something different is ESSENTIAL to your success.

WHY?

Well, we’re all deeply entrenched in a pit of FEAR.

FEAR of failure, fear of success, fear of poor health, fear of old age and a whole bunch more.

Busting out of that entrapment releases the shackles and like 3 pounds of TNT under the toilet can zip you skyward at warp speed.

But there’s something I consider EVEN worse than FEAR. 

One thing which holds more people back from BIG strides forward than anything else.

And it’s a PET hate of mine.

If you wanna ‘wind me up’ - if I ever say something to offend you - if you ever fancy a little ‘pop’ at me - then send me all your frickin’ EXCUSES as to why you can’t take action on the things I impart to you.

- You can ‘tdo that…

- That won’t work.

- You’re not allowed to do that.

- Nobody will respond to that.

- I’m not clever enough to do that.

- I’m too old to do that.

- I’m not healthy enough to do that.

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Stop it!

Any lame assed, small thinking schmuck can come up with an endless list of why something can’t be done.

That’s really easy… Pitiful… Shameful…

The REAL power, the REAL path to success, the REAL way to switch on your afterburner and jump to warp speed is to take all the ideas I and others give you and then work out how you CAN APPLY THEM!!!

There’s always a way!

Did you know that Walt Disney was fired by the editor of a newspaper for ‘lacked imagination and had no good ideas’? Did you know he was ridiculed over his idea for a theme park?

Any average person would have dumped his dream at the side of a road, jumped back into line and waddled his way through the rest of his life as inconspicuous as a Ford Mondeo.

So… Where do you sit?

Are you an excuse ridden ‘wombat’ who is quite happy to meander through their day blinkered to anything but what you know, you understand, you trust?

Or are you like Walt Disney - prepared to take the reigns, embrace fear, eliminate excuses and suck up all the ideas you can from outside you comfort zone, chop ‘em, twist em’, tweak them and then fire on all cylinders like a 6.4 litre V12 Lamborghini Murcielago and get them pumping in your business and life NOW???

Your choice… 

You decide…
