A burning desire

I wrote this for some of my Team members tonight:

I've come to a conclusion over the last couple of days, based on reading books, talking to Leaders, etc:

We all know that if a man wants something badly enough he'll figure out how to get it.   What I believe is that each of us has the desire to achieve high ranks within Beachbody, but I think we all in this group could focus that more by programming ourselves for it.  What I mean by that is thinking beyond "It would be cool to be able to do this full time, and make 6 figures at it," and beyond believing that it's possible to get there, to be at the point where each of us wants it so badly that it becomes a burning desire, an internal need to achieve that success.

I personally feel that right now.  I don't just want to be a 5-Star, I don't just believe I can be if I work hard, I NEED to be.  I want it so badly I can taste it.  I want it so much that it almost hurts.  I'm like that little kid who sees the newest and coolest toy and has to have it.  That's me and 5-Star Diamond, and a 6 - figure base with this.

How did I get here:  It started with the belief that I could get that.  I've known for a long time that it's possible and I've been working hard to get to it. It's been a solid goal.  I've written it down, and read it every day.... but in doing that I'm putting a lot of personal feeling into it.  I'm closing my eyes and seeing it, clenching my teeth and saying "My God I want that!"  I am burning that thought into my head, over and over, and it has sparked a fire that will NOT be put out.  I know what I want, and I WILL have it.

Can you put that into your head?  Will you?

Part of what Craig Holiday has said for us to do as Leader and Sponsors is to give assignments to our new Coaches and our Teams.  We need to have concrete things for them to do and report back on.  This is one of those things.  I want you all to start doing the exact same thing.  I want you all to figure out exactly what you want to achieve, and start programming that into your heads every night.  More than just writing down a goal, I want you to solidify that with thoughts and beliefs that make it a burning desire.  Every night before bed, and every morning when you wake up, put those thoughts into your head.  When you do that, they will start to manifest into action.
