Ralph Zuranski: What is the dream or vision that sets the course of your life?
Mike Filsaime: The dream that sets the course? I would probably say the power of positive thinking and trying to keep all the negative poisons out of my mind. Napoleon Hill says “Whatever the mind can conceive it can achieve” and I’m a big believer in that. I believe that the things you dwell on you are going to pull into your life.
I think that the mind cannot distinguish between imagination and reality. That’s why the mind doesn’t know the difference between what you’re thinking and past memory. If you can envision something and not just set a goal that says “I want to make a million dollars” but actually envision you have with that. Like what you’ll be wearing, what you’ll be smelling, what your house will be like and what it’s like to drive that car.
Also what it’s like to be with the person you love. If you can truly envision that in your mind I believe that you will actually attract that into life very quickly.
Ralph Zuranski: How important is it to stay focused on your primary goal?
Mike Filsaime: Staying focused is something we’ve been talking about a lot lately and I’m going to give credit to a very good friend of mine Stephen Pierce. I’m going to give an example that I saw him talk about in Australia. Basically what Stephen says is “Imagine if there was a young child that you knew very well and you were standing at a garage maybe at a bar-b-que. In the street was a young child maybe playing with marbles or something right at the corner of the driveway on the street.
Between you and the child were several of your friends and relatives holding a drink in their hand and behind them was a wagon wheel, a big wheel, a bicycle and other kids playing. You noticed up at the top of the hill that somebody just parked their car and didn’t put it in park and didn’t put the emergency brake on.
It was very slowly running down the hill towards this young girl. So I’ll ask you the question, Ralph, if you saw that car coming towards the girl and you had all these people in front of you but you knew you had to get to this child, what would you do?
Ralph Zuranski: I would do what you would do Mike. I would do anything it took to get to that girl before the car got there.
Mike Filsaime: Anything it took, right? What about that bicycle that’s in your way?
Ralph Zuranski: I would leap over it and knock the people aside and not let any obstacle stand in my way.
Mike Filsaime: Exactly. It’s what bicycle at this point. You have a goal and you’re not going to let anything get in your way. Now here’s what happens when you turn that scenario around. As Stephen mentions, you take that young child and you turn it into a car. Now at the top of the hill coming down in stead of a car it’s a shopping cart.
You see the shopping cart coming down and you still have all these people in front of you. So now you’re entire intention shifts. Your perception has just shifted So what you are going to say as you see that shopping cart coming down as you’ll probably have a little of the deer in the headlights look, you’ll probably say “Hm, this is going to be interesting.”
I think that’s what happens sometimes with people with the project they are working on. They don’t have that serious focus where they put the blinders on like a horse in horse racing. They say “That’s my target goal. I don’t care about the bicycle or the people in front of me. There’s nothing that’s going to stop me from getting to my target goal.
If you start looking at that with the product that you are working on it’s pretty much the same thing. I think what happens is people get stuck in this syndrome of “Oh I’ve got another great idea.” A great idea is probably the biggest poison that anybody could have when they are working on a project or trying to focus on something. What I tell my students and people that I work with is to take their ideas and put them into a separate book.
Write down that idea in a little paragraph then put that book back in the drawer. When you are done with your current project open up the idea book and find the ideas that you can work on that you can immediately leverage quickly and bring to the market place or whatever you want to do to complete it. Brad Fallon, a good friend of mine talks about working on four different projects at the same.
Let’s assume that each project takes you one month to do and you’re working on all four of them at the same time. Simple math would tell you that it would take 4 months to get these projects done. So what ends up happening is that you work on one project one week, the next project the next week, the next project the following week and you’re moving each project along kind of like pushing up all these little magnets up on a board.
But what ends up happening is if you had been focusing on one project, in one mo nth you could have that project making money for you after 30 days. Then you can fully focus on the next project. Then after 30 days your 2nd project is making money so now you have two incomes coming in.
After the 2nd project is done you work for 30 days on the next project you complete it because you were focused. Now you have three projects that are making you money. After that you start the 4th project and all the while you’re working on the 4th project the other three projects are making you money.
Not only are you in a position that you are working on projects, you are completing projects that are making you money. The mistakes that people do are trying to work on all these projects at the same time are that none of these projects are making money because it’s being spread out over 4 months. So it will take you 4 months to create one single dollar. Then that poison comes in again right before you’re about to finish the project and says “Oh I have another great idea, and another great idea.”
So you start getting to 90 & 95% on all these other projects then you start another project and move them up to 90 to 95% then project #7 comes along with this great idea and you never complete anything. One more thing, assuming you were working on 4 projects at the same time, as I said at the beginning of this conversation about this, that simple math would tell you it would take 4 months to get these projects done.
What happens is that when you are multi-tasking and not focusing, you can multiple that factor times two. It will actually take you about 8 months to get 4 projects done because you are multi-tasking and not able to focus on one thing at a time.
