"Are Your Actions Consistent With Your Beliefs" by the Butterfly Marketing Team, the Most Effective Internet Marketers Today, Mike Filsaime, Paulie Sabol, Donna Fox and Tom Beal
10. Are your actions consistent with your beliefs?
Mike Filsaime: These are all great questions and I’d like say yes. But I’m not perfect but I try to be. I know my faults and I try to work on them and I try to be humble. I’d like to say Ralph that yes I try to make most of my actions as close to my beliefs as I can. We know everybody has sometimes lazy tendencies.
Some of the things I struggle with are living normal hours as most people in the world would see as normal. I tend to go on these weird patterns where I’m working normal hours then the next thing I know I start working till two, three or four in the morning then get up at 11:00 am. Then the next day I work until 4:00 in the morning and then the next day get up at 12:00. The next day I work until 4:30 in the morning then I end up sleeping until 1:00 in the afternoon. Then I have to hit that reset button & say “Wait a second.”
I can’t even get up and get to the bank on time and get my hair cut. (Laughter) So those are some of the faults I have. To answer the question some of my actions are not 100% of what my beliefs are but I try working on them.

Paulie Sabol: Now that is a different question. That one is much easier to be in alignment with. Let me tell you the story of an electron. I mentioned that I have a physics degree. Many of your heroes and future heroes who are listening right now, they’ve probably seen an electron drawn in their science class.
The atom is drawn as having a big thick nucleus in the center, and the electrons kind of going in these circles around. For the longest time we believed that. That was what we believed the model was. Over time, our model, our beliefs improved.
Now we know that these electrons have the ability to sometimes be places that it doesn’t seem to physically. We are shocked that it seems to be somewhere that it is. We also know that the electron moves instantly from being in one place in space to another place in space. It doesn’t actually go through the space in between. It teleports, it jumps, it transforms in just a moment.
In fact, when it does so, it emits light. That is my test. I know that my actions are consistent with and my beliefs are finally catching up with the power of my actions. I have more light in my life. I believed and for the most part, it is a useful belief, that fire is going to hurt me or burn me.
But, you know what, Ralph, I’ve walked on fire.
Ralph Zuranski: That is interesting that you say that, because I spent 24 years in alternative medicine, studying biomedical currents and the energies that are within the body, and came to the conclusion that we are all energetic beings and that we are limited by our five senses on what we can see.
But ultimately, we are all energy.
Paulie Sabol: Now, in addition to walking on fire, which seems like it is impossible, I’ve broke boards with my bare hands. Another thing that at one point would have seemed impossible to me. I’ve lain on a bed of nails. All of these experiences remind me that very often my action has to precede my belief. Very often I need to take action even when I’m in a state of doubt.
Here’s the cool part, and here’s the ultimate answer to your question. As I take action and I get results, the results transform and change my beliefs, just like the experiments that scientists do, transformed and changed their beliefs and their understanding of the electron and gave them a better understanding and ability to harness the power of this energetic universe that we are in.
In that same way, my actions are increasingly in alignment with my beliefs, but action always leads my beliefs, not the other way around.

Donna Fox: Not at all. Every single day I step out on a limb. You have to go out on a limb because that’s where the fruit is. Every single day I do something that scares me.
There are days that I wake up and this whole business of being an entrepreneur is terrifying. At the same time I can’t imagine doing anything else right now.
When I think about going back to a job it crushes my spirit. So no, my actions aren’t consistent with my belief because I act every day in spite of my limiting beliefs.

TOM BEAL: Emotions are extremely vital to achieving your success. There’s a movie out now, that if you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it. As a matter of fact it should almost be required in my opinion for teenagers, for kids growing up and adults to watch. It’s called www.whatisthesecret.tv. That’s an awesome documentary. Have you seen that yet Ralph.
RALPH ZURANSKI: I have not had a chance to yet.
TOM BEAL: I feel it’s a “must see” for everybody that is serious about achieving any type of goals. What it talks about is the secret obviously. When Dr. Joe Vitalie was telling me about this on the cruise last November he and I were on and a few other marketers I asked and he wouldn’t tell us what the secret was.
He wouldn’t tell us what the movie was. I said “I know what the secret is. From Earl Nightingale he had the strangest secret in the world; we become what we think about most of the time. The thought that is most in your mind is what will fulfill or manifest.”
That’s exactly what it is about but it goes into more detail about what’s called “The Attraction Factor” which is a book by Dr. Joe Vitalie. Your thoughts mixed with emotions, mixed with enthusiasm produces the end result that you’ll manifest into reality.
Because you can have a thought but if you don’t have emotions to back that thought it’s like an impotent thought. You need to have that potency by having the emotions to back it up. That’s where you will begin to see you are what you think about most of the time.
When Mike created the The "Butterfly Marketing Program" that is worth it's weight in gold, his joint venture partners were ready, willing and able to recommend the program to their loyal mailing listmembers. In five short days, there was over $1,000,000 in gross sales. It was time for Mike to reap the rewards promised by Earl Nightingale because of the quality and value of Mike's "Butterfly Marketing Program."
