"Is It Valuable To Have Highly Charged Emotions About Achieving Your Goals?'" by the Butterfly Marketing Team, the Most Effective Internet Marketers Today, Mike Filsaime, Paulie Sabol, Donna Fox and Tom Beal" by Ralph Zuranski
11. Is it valuable to have highly charged emotions about achieving your goals?
Mike Filsaime: Oh yes! Absolutely! And those are exercises that you can do. I recently saw a great movie. It’s really a documentary that I recommend to everybody watch it. I’m sure some of the past speakers mentioned it and some of the future ones will as well.
You can see it at thesecret.tv. That documentary talks about the power of positive thinking but you need to be a visionary and you need to envision these goals that you set. There are certain things you can do. You can have a cork board that you call a vision board.
You can cut out the home that you want or how you see yourself looking professional in a suit or the watch that you want or the car that you want. Or the family type of icon that you want or a picture of your church to see where you want to be associated with. Group photos of people you love and family and friends.
If you start to put these exercises into place then that’s how you can start setting up exercises to attain your goals. I think one of the mistakes people make when they make a goal Ralph is they say things like “I want a million dollars.” No you don’t. You really don’t.
Ralph if I gave you a million dollars what does that do? That is just a means to getting what you really want. What you really want is to help children. Or what you really want is to have better health or raise your kids the right way or send them to the right schools.
So setting a goal on money is ok. I know a lot of people do that but you really need to realize that the money is just the means to what you really want. You have to really ask yourself “What do I really want?” I even caution people sometimes when they say “I want a million dollars.” or “I want this business or I want do this type of business per day for a month.”
Sometimes you have to say to yourself “What will I have created if I say I want an Ebay business that makes me a million dollars a month?” Do you really want to be shipping boxes out of your house? Sometimes by really defining what it is that you really want I think you can have a more clear understanding of what you want & how to get there. Rather than putting up an abstract and saying “I want a million dollars.

Paulie Sabol: At the risk of sounding redundant, I believe that emotions act as an energy, just like you were just saying. Now having highly charged emotions without a highly probable plan of action is a fine way to get nowhere fast.
On the other hand, having highly energized emotion often is the key necessary to run the race as though to win. When there are others out in front of you, even when you seem to be behind, there’s no question that emotions are the fuel that allow us to move forward, even when, as I know you are going to ask about in short order, when there are setbacks, misfortunes and mistakes.
The last thing I want to say about emotions is, especially for our listeners who are in the earliest stages of their adolescence, or moving through their adolescence, 10 to 18 or so, you are going to have highly charged emotions as it is. From time to time, they might be emotions that really feel like they are bringing you down.
Other times they might be emotions that are making you feel like you are impenetrable and immortal in your nature. In either case, remember to always focus for just a moment on the high probability plan that is before you. Really engage not only the power of the emotion as energy, but the power of your rational, thinking mind to give you good guidance and good decision making powers.
Ralph Zuranski: That is funny that you would say that. I still can’t remember at what point I realized that I didn’t know everything and was the ultimate source of all knowledge in the universe. That’s kind of a humbling experience, that I think probably was the misfortunes, mistakes and setbacks that I had that sort of humbled me.

Donna Fox: I think emotions are invaluable. Sometimes they get in the way. Sometimes fear, sometimes anxiety. Those are all negative emotions that get in the way.
Emotions move us more than a to-do list. If there wasn’t emotion behind a to-do list we wouldn’t get anything done. But it’s emotions that drive us towards something.
It’s because we want to attain something. It’s because we want the emotions of pleasure and success and happiness. And emotions drive us away from something.
They drive us away from fear and loneliness and poverty and hunger. Without that emotional response I think we would be much less effective as people. So they are absolutely, super, highly, highly important. And I don’t just say that because I’m an emotional woman.

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?
