You Sleep When You Die

Last week I wrote about everyone’s RAS (Reticular Activating System). I explained how RAS works. For those of you who didn’t read it, I’ll catch you up real quick. If you’re walking through an airport, there’s lots of noise: people talking at ticket counters, people talking on cell phones, people buying things, people making announcements over the loudspeaker…it goes on and on and on. But all of a sudden you subconsciously activate your RAS. You activate it to listen only if you hear your own name or flight number being called. You’re able to block out everything else.

Lucky for you, the principles of RAS can help you achieve goals beyond your wildest dreams.

I want to give you another example…

Based on the number of responses I’ve received, yesterday’s post about making your first million clearly got in your head. That’s a good first step toward your fortune.

How is it possible that President Obama can order $100 million in U.S. aid for the victims of the Haiti earthquake, but he can’t provide aid to the people in his own country that are suffering?

I have nothing against sending aid to Haiti and helping them during this devastating time, but to the tune of more than $100 million?! China – the richest country in the world – offered assistance and donated $1 million to relief efforts. Meanwhile, America – a country that is BANKRUPT – donated $100 million!

People ask me all the time about my secrets to success. And I’ve got to tell you, it’s not just one thing. It’s many things that I’ve spent a lifetime learning the hard way. So kick back, read and learn how I got to where I am today. Along the way you just might pick up what I like to call Jordanisms: harsh but true realities…
