Pain: How to Attract Success

Pain: How to Attract Success

By Kevin Amolsch

"Pain don't hurt" or so says Dalton in the movie Road House. I loved that movie and I love that quote. The truth is pain does hurt, but the temporary and manageable hurt creates success!

I had the most amazing experience last year at the Denver and Minnesota Success Summits. For those of you that I was lucky enough to present to, you know that over time I have focused my energy on teaching skills, techniques, and strategies to help you get rich in real estate. I gave my first presentation to a live audience in 2006, and have since taught thousands of investors how to make money. I have written countless articles, reports, and a book. I love getting notes in the mail, emails, or people approaching me telling me how I helped change their life. Someone told me that my book helped them make an additional $50,000 this past year alone. You can probably tell that I have a passion and am driven to help people reach their goals, and now I understand that I was missing a very important piece to this mission. Most people need more than skills, techniques and strategies. Many can acquire all the information they need to make a fortune and still be broke. What most people need is the understanding of what it actually takes to be successful.

At this year's Success Summits, I tried something new. I tried to breakdown the fear that prevents us from taking action and tried to give techniques on how to move forward past the fear. I had a lot of fun with the presentation, but it also pulled a lot of emotion out of me and the audience. Multiple people told me I touched them, and it was the exact presentation they needed to hear as the try to jump start their investing. I think one of the reasons I had several people approach me in tears is because they know they have not been taking action, to avoid pain, and all that has created in their life is more pain. That is a hard thing for someone to realize. My guess is people left that presentation being hard on themselves. That is not the point. The point is, now they understand what was holding them back so that they can implement strategies to propel themselves forward. The past is the past, and serves only as an educator for the greatness that is about to come.

If you attended the presentation, you learned that our decisions are based on one of two driving forces. Pursuit of pleasure or the avoidance of pain. We talked about pain being a stronger force, and can easily dominate our decision making. The thought of experiencing pain, even if it is not physical, is scary; which is where the fear that stops us stems.

What is important to understand is that pain supports us. Success is developed by experiencing pain. If you look back through time, you will see that all successful people had to endure pain before the triumph, and that all people experiences what could be considered large amounts of pain. No one is immune to this fact. What makes successful people successful is they can embrace it and learn from it. I also believe that once you start to embrace psychological pain, and are able to reflect on it, you will have no choice but to grow and become more and more successful. Things that scare most of us, like being embarrassed, or being rejected, are things that make us stronger, smarter, and better equipped to succeed.

As we move through the year I will write more articles on the subject of busting through fear in hopes that more of you will start to implement the real estate skills, techniques and strategies that we teach. For now, I want you to understand the reason you make the decisions you make. I want you to understand that the fear is based on your attempt to avoid pain, so you can peel back the fear and focus on what the actual results of your decision. Obviously, you can mess up and create pain through failure, disappointment, and rejection, but none of that is that bad. In fact, it is necessary. Focusing on the pleasure you will get from doing the things you are afraid of will help move you forward. And you never know, if you try something... it just might work.

Race Trumps Love on MLK, Jr Day

Race Trumps Love on MLK, Jr Day

By Edward G. Simmons

On this holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., our nation is witnessing betrayal of our values by a President and leading figures of his party. Events of the past week have answered the question that candidate Trump put to African-Americans during his campaign: "What do you have to lose?" Today it is the entire American populace who must ask: "What has already been lost and how much more are we willing to lose?"

Events of the past week have revealed the true dynamics of the Trump presidency and of a party leadership corrupted by power.

We begin with the televised reality-show in the Oval Office during which the President called for a solution representing "love." Other studio productions of this presidency have featured cabinet and staff members bowing and scraping to their President as they tell him how wonderful he is. This time Democrats flanked the President as he presided over a roundtable discussion. If this were a negotiation, the President would have stated a position or at least clear goals to be met by a final product. But this was a studio President, preening for the cameras, not a wielder of political clout. He would sign whatever came to him, he claimed, and only wanted it to be an expression of love.

The reality show stayed on camera far longer than expected because Democrats began to speak up. When the President agreed with each speaker in turn, the Republicans became agitated and made the back and forth more interesting. There was no sign of a compromise in the making, still the President took no stand other than "love."

Let's step back a moment to look at the broader context before moving to the next events. Donald Trump's campaign for President was notably harsh toward all immigrants. As President, he has taken steps to stop immigration from Muslim countries and to step up deportations of undocumented persons. He also resisted condemning ultra-right-wing demonstrators even after someone was killed, claiming there were good people in that camp. The reason for the studio meeting was his unilateral action against protected children of undocumented immigrants despite the great harm caused by that action. He said he wanted a bi-partisan legislative solution, leading to the "love" production.

Following the meeting, bi-partisan negotiations in the Senate led to a proposal to be discussed with the President. Senators Durban and Graham came to brief the President and walked into an ambush. A Republican and a Democrat who were seeking a bi-partisan approach were ready to preview possible compromises. Hardline immigration opponents in the Republican party, two Senators and four Representatives, were present to undermine hopes for compromise. They succeeded.

A President with any character would not have participated in such an ambush. This kind of duplicity is what anyone desiring bi-partisanship has learned to expect of this President and congressional Republican leaders.

According to Senator Durban, and supported by Senator Graham, the President kept interrupting Senator Graham as he presented the proposal. During those remarks, the President made clearly racist and unacceptable statements about non-white immigrants and the countries from which they came. Senator Graham spoke up to show disapproval, as did Senator Durban.

An international furor erupted when news of the President's remarks became public. Several Republican Senators were among those outraged and demanding an apology from the President. Meanwhile the President held another made-for-TV production signing a proclamation for Martin Luther King Day. Standing with him, smiling and silent, were a group of African-Americans that excluded any of the surviving associates of Dr. King or anyone prominent in the Civil Rights Movement.

Over the weekend we saw repeated what this President usually does. He refused to apologize and lied about what he said. The problem, according to him, was the Democrat who could not tell the truth.

Then came a shameful display as two Senators openly attacked Senator Durban, ignoring the fact that Senator Graham was also being maligned. Either they lied, or they were not shocked by what the President said.

The truth, it seems clear, is that Trump's offensive comments reflect the opinions of the six Republicans who participated in the ambush. They are immigration hardliners because of racism that stands out ever clearer as they defend an ultra-racist President.

Looking back to the question of candidate Trump, now is the time to consider what has been lost and what more we can lose.

First, the Republican party has lost any claim to represent morality or principle. Concentrating on efforts to maintain power, they support increasingly extremist behaviors and policies of a Wall Street version of George Wallace. They have even gone so far as to stand with him in ignoring a massive attack on our country's democratic processes during the last election because the truth endangers the legitimacy of this despicable President. They have placed party rule over patriotism and their traditional concern for national security. The absence of Republican moral principle was also seen in approval of cabinet appointments despite ethical compromises and lack of relevant experience.

Second, Republicans in congress are violating their oaths to uphold the constitution by supporting, either vocally or silently, attacks on the independence of the justice system. Presidential statements putting himself above the law have been supported by actions to stop or interfere with investigations into his campaign. In the process he has actively undermined the intelligence gathering agencies of our nation along with all career non-partisan federal employees. Sufficient justification for an impeachment process has long existed, but Republicans in the House of Representatives are focused on holding on to power.

Finally, our friends and allies all over the world have lost confidence in the reliability and stability of the United States of America. They see the unstable and even lunatic behavior of a President actively fomenting war with North Korea and Iran. They see a Republican administration actively undermining all international agreements for partisan gain. They see an America deserting previous commitments to democracy and human rights without serious congressional response.

In the eyes of the world, the Republican party of Trump is what the United States stands for on this Martin Luther King Day. Those exercising power in our country are actively undermining everything Dr. King stood for.

How long before Donald Trump tries to repeal this holiday to please a base that wants to restore their ultra-right version of American greatness?

President Trump: Telling The Truth, Thinking He Is, Or Lying?

President Trump: Telling The Truth, Thinking He Is, Or Lying?

By Richard Brody

Whether one is a supporter of our current President, or opposes his approaches and policies, it is important to agree, Donald J. Trump, has certainly, in his first year, approached and performed his position, significantly differently, than any of his predecessors, in recent memory! For some, this may be, exactly what they hoped for, but, for many others, it is often frightening, and/ or upsetting! Polls indicate Trump has amazingly strong, seemingly solid and unshakable support from approximately 35% of the American public (what is often referred to, as his core supporters, or base), but also has an unprecedented, high unpopularity level, as well. Obviously, where one falls in this spectrum, will often have a lot to do, with perceptions of the man, and his performance. Political fact - checkers claim, Mr. Trump has either lied, or made a significant misstatement, and average of 5 to 6 times, per day, since he took office, and this article, will attempt to briefly examine, review and discuss, 3 possibilities for this: 1) He's telling the truth and most others are lying; 2) He thinks/ believes he's being truthful; or, 3) He's lying.

1. He's telling the truth, and most others are lying: It seems like, in issue - after - issue, someone accuses this President of lying, and/ or, at the very least, being free - and - easy, with the facts! Mr. Trump consistent calls those he disagrees with, names, and claims they are liars! Even when something is taped, or witnessed, he continues to deny, or says it's taken out of context. He refers to the media, as Fake News, and it is reported, he rarely reads, in detail, but gets most of his news, either from a media partner, which supports him, such as Fox News and Breitbert, and claims the other television networks, and newspapers, websites, etc, are lying! In fact, if he is telling the truth, we must be witnessing, one of the most thorough, well - orchestrated efforts by his opponents, because the vast majority of media outlets, often oppose his statements, etc. Whether this is about the Russia investigation, his firing on the FBI director, his rhetoric and/ or promises, etc, either his words are tainted, or, indeed, there must be some grand conspiracy, against him!

2. He believes he's telling the truth: Pathological liars, often, seem to believe they are being truthful, and have been known, to pass, lie - detector tests, because they seem to convince themselves! I am not claiming Trump, is pathological, but, if he is, it would be, even more dangerous. He consistently accuses the Democrats, of poor political, obstructive behavior, seemingly because, they don't go along with his ideas, etc. How many times have we witnessed this President, clearly lying, but. while his opponents find this behavior, concerning, his supporters, either believe him, don't care, or drank too much Kool - Aid!

3. He's lying, and/ or a congenital liar: For the sake of full - disclosure, and fairness, I must admit, this is what I have come to believe. Examining his life's work, he has lied, consistently, and continues to do so! Denying his own words, contradicting himself (with his words), or articulating rhetoric which seems to be at - odds, with his behavior and/ or actions, appears to be a classic case, of lying!

Why is President Trump perceived as being a liar? Is he misunderstood, a typical politician, nuts, crazy as a fox, being persecuted, or a congenital liar? You must decide!
