What are the factors that set apart 7-figure earners?
In a new video I shot with Mike Dillard a few weeks ago, we talk about the specific factors that set the big dogs in business apart from the rest of the pack.
Mike has never talked about this before on camera so I was pretty lucky to get him to open up. The stuff he divulges is straight from his own experience as well as the experience I had working for Robert Kiyosaki for seven years.
It doesn’t get any more real than this.
Check out the video clip to get a taste of the magical fairy dust Mike and I spew forth in this ultra exclusive video.

Breath
I’ve learned something just in the last few weeks that has transformed my personal life, my business life and my relationships. It is a super complicated, little known secret that you can only learn if you hike for 37 days to the top of the highest peak in Northern Kathmandu.
It is referred to as…
Breathing
I know, I know. Crazy right? How am I going to learn that? What kind of shenanigans are you try to pull on me here Seiferth? What’s this wicked, voodoo sorcery about anyway?
Well, let me tell you, it wasn’t easy, but I created a very simple exercise that will allow you to quickly and easily master this highly specialized technique in a very short period of time.
Just watch the video, play along and in no time you’ll see the results.

Syntropy vs. Entropy
R. Buckminster Fuller has been a favorite person of mine to study for the past eight years or so. He is often referred to as the greatest mind of the 20th century.
In this video I share one of the concepts he talked about that actually applies to my business. I think you’ll find that it will apply to yours as well.

Questions
One of the basic things rich dad taught Robert Kiyosaki was instead of saying “I can’t afford it,” ask the question “How can I afford it?”
At its core, this simple exercise allows our mind to do what its best at – work things out. The minute we say “I can’t do this,” or “I couldn’t do that,” our thought process shuts down. We stop the energy from flowing.
However, if we ask a question like, “How can I do that?” or “What would it take for me to accomplish this?”, then our mind is able to do its work and create solutions.
Simply by asking questions, we open the space so that we can move around, exploring different possibilities, searching for new solutions. Then, and only then, can new content enter the space for us to consume.
Fact: Rich People Have Coaches
I just received this email from Robert Kiyosaki:
“More than terrorism, more than natural disasters, the biggest fear most people have is outliving their money. Our natural reaction to any fear is to fight, flee or freeze. Financial fear often leads to paralysis – where you ignore your money problems and hope they will somehow go away.
Don’t let fear cost you money.
Every day I am seeing increasing turbulence in the markets. “Playing it safe” by trusting others with your financial future is probably the riskiest thing you can do. People who used to dream of getting rich are now just hoping not to lose their home. Without financial education, you’re at the mercy of the market.
If you don’t have a plan to achieve financial security, what’s stopping you? If you’re not sure what to do or how to do it, then get a coach. Rich dad was my coach. He helped me face my own fears. He helped me learn. He helped me discover the answers that work for me. He challenged me and held me to my goals. He was tough on me. But I’m rich today because of him.”
Here is the thing…
I have never met anyone that STUDIES HARDER, works more at DEVELOPING HIMSELF, and believes in HAVING A PERSONAL COACH, than Robert. I am sure you are thinking to yourself, “What does Robert need with a coach? He is the guru, the man, the expert.”
Well, the reason Robert IS the man is because he has always had coaches. He has always surrounded himself with people that are better, stronger, faster and smarter than he is. That is what makes him rich.
For me, it is a difficult thing to admit that I need a coach. I often fight with myself over the fact that I should know this stuff, I should know what to do, I should know how to proceed. That is often where I am wrong.
We all lie to ourselves. We all tell ourselves that we are better than we are. That is where we need to take a step back and say, “No. I am not the best there is. I am not the end-all-be-all of business and investing.” I need help.
Even Mike Dillard talks about this in the latest issue of Magnetic Sponsoring Inner Circle. He calls it “YDKWYDK Syndrome.” Can you guess what that means?
You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know Syndrome
He and his partners at Magnetic actively SEEK OUT and engage coaches to help them get to the next level. Their goal is to take Magnetic and BetterNetworker.com to $50 million in sales in 2011. Holy crap! That is a context I can’t quite get my head around… yet.
The point is that the most successful people in the world have coaches. Period. The question is are you willing to do what the rich do and seek one out for yourself?
Finer and Finer Distinctions
My wife and I take a yoga class together every week on Wednesdays. It is a ritual that we have that allows us to do something together while keeping fit and helping us to relax and come back to our core. Now, that doesn’t always work. Like yesterday. I had been such a jerk to her that it affected our class. I am like that you know, sometimes I go over the line and wish afterward that I had done or said something differently. I am human.
But that is not the subject of this post. I want to talk about how small (sometimes extremely small) distinctions can make all the difference in the world.
In yoga, distinctions are everything. It is not just about holding a pose or getting yourself wrapped up like a pretzel. It comes down to very minute angles, pressures and areas of concentration that make all the difference in the world. For instance, yesterday we were in a pose with our hands on the ground in front of us. I was up on my finger tips during the pose when the instructor came over to me and had me switch my hands so my palms were on the floor, with my finger tips raised into the air.
To demonstrate the difference, put your hands on your desk right now with only your finger tips touching the surface. Good. Now, lower your palms to the desk and raise your finger tips so they are not touching the desk at all. See the difference? In comparison to the entire pose, a minor piece of the puzzle. But important nontheless. That one shift changed the dynamics of the entire exercise. It fire up different muscles that I had not been using. It changed the way my hands, arms, shoulders, chest, hips, legs and feet all worked together. Amazing.
The same is true for most any sport. Think about the tiny, tiny variations between my golf swing and Tiger Woods’ swing. We both have a club. We both rotate our hips to bring the club behind our heads, then reverse the rotation to swing the club down and forward toward the ball and finally end up with the club behind our backs. Basically the same thing.
But because of tiny, tiny variations in grip, hip rotation, arm position, head position, shoulders, legs, feet, back, speed, force, angle and direction, Tiger makes $200 million a year and I don’t. 
The same goes for football, basketball, baseball, billiards, bowling, archery, track and field, etc, etc, etc. Hell, the difference between the good and the great is often microseconds, or millimetres.
The same goes for business. The difference between a business that is wildly successful and a competitor that fails is typically something extremely small. Timing, location, a key decision, perception, a single meeting, one connection, a hunch.
When I was training with one of the premier athletic training facilities in the Southwest US, the time and effort it took me to get 95% of the way to my goal was drastically eclipsed by the amount of time and energy it took me to achieve that last 5%. Finer distinctions in weight, tempo, reps, sets, nutrition and supplements were what got me to my goal.
By the way, you can see the entire 12 week process on YouTube. Go here to watch – http://www.youtube.com/user/IkeiUnderground#play/user/BA60F937B0D2F965. The videos are in the right-hand column.
So, my point in all of this is that the difference between success and failure or between good and great, are often the finest of distinctions. Keep refining. Keep testing. Keep trying. That is how the masters perfect their trade.
How Bad Do You Want It?
I received the following email from someone who landed on my home page.

Hi John,
I had expressed interest in [your business opportunity] but would like something with lower price point…
Roger

Here is my response.
———————————
Roger,
I am building my business around the notion that we all need to be more educated on finance, money, investing and business. I found a platform in Wealth Masters International that has allowed me to do that with great tools, excellent training and top-of-the-line support. There is nothing else out there that offers all of this.
I’ve studied for the past eight years with Robert and Kim Kiyosaki and the Rich Dad advisors and now I am teaching people what I’ve learned from them. I am also being personally mentored by Mike Dillard who is responsible for turning the home-based business world upside down with his Magnetic Sponsoring line of educational products. I doubt there are two individuals that have impacted the home business world more than those two guys, and I talk to each of them regularly.
If that sounds like something you want to take advantage of, then this is the right business for you. If not, then you will need to find something else. Either way, I hope what I am putting out there has value to you. If you want to get involved and begin building a business on the number one team in all of network marketing, just go to http://johnseiferth.com/ccpapplication and fill out an application.
Take care -
John

Do I need to say anything more? How bad do you want it? What are you willing to do to get it?
Follow-up Video From Tony Robbins and John Reese
In my opinion, this video is almost MORE important than the first one I posted a few days ago. In this interview, John Reese talks about the number one stumbling block that keeps 99% of the people in business from making ANY progress. Take a look.
