For me, the most memorable part of the movie Superman, is the very beginning when, baby Kal-El (Superman) was placed into that crazy little capsule and sent billions of miles away to planet Earth just prior to the destruction of his home planet Krypton. During his trip, his fathers recorded instruction played continuously, teaching Superman everything he needed to know, including, who he was, and from whence he came. And this education guided him throughout his life.

It'd be nice if we were all Superman, and our wise and noble fathers made a killer audio for us to listen to during the commutes of our lives. Unfortunately, that's not the case. However, if you're interested in the next best thing, read on.

A few days ago I posted an article introducing my Basic System for Success. Then yesterday, I posted the first of the six part system. Today's show is about part two of that system.

For the last 12+ years, I have lived my life by the following wisdom…

FIND OUT WHAT THE MASSES ARE DOING, AND RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION!

Think about what the masses do every day when they drive to work. The masses listen to either music, the news or talk radio. If you want to live a successful life, you MUST run as fast as you can in an opposite direction. Instead of having your car be a capsule for current events, or capsule of negativity, or even a capsule of filthy lyrics, why not turn it into a University on Wheels?

If you have been following along with my videos, you've learned already that one of the major factors in our success or failure is our philosophy, or what we know and believe to be true. Most of us think we know how to be successful, but we don't, and it's evident in the fact that, in America at least, somewhere between 3% and 5% of the total population will be able to retire independently wealthy. In other words, 95% of us don't know what we're talkin' about, and we don't know what we're doing.

I digress. So, we think we know, but we don't. That's precisely why we read the books and listen to the audios. What we are doing is rebuilding our belief system and our own personal philosophy, with the hope of obtaining a belief system that is conducive to success. And listening to these educational, positive, motivational and inspirational audios every day is major part of building a success philosophy.

For those of you who have jobs, you have time built-in to your day for reprogramming your mind… your commute! If you're commute to work is 30 minutes each way, that's at least 5 hours per week of working on your mind. That's 260 hours of education and motivation per year. That's BANANAS! You do that for a handful of years, and you will be astonished by what happens to your attitude, your outlook and your life. You just can't take in that much positive information and not be positively effected. My dad used to say, “Son, you walk around dog poop long enough, you're bound to step in it.” And the converse is true. If you hang out with positive information, it will certainly leave it's positive mark on you.

For those of you who work from home, like me, you've got to figure out a way to systematize your listening efforts. Here's what I did. Every morning when I woke up, on my way to the restroom, I would turn on my waterproof CD player hanging in the shower, which was already loaded with one of my favorite motivational CD's. Then, I would shower, shave, brush my teeth, primp in front of the mirror and get dressed, and by that time, I had listened to entire CD. And I did it every day until I had attracted a very respectable passive six figure income. And, I'm still doing it today, though I have upgraded my technology a bit. Now I rock out to my gurus on my iPhone docked on some speakers. But nonetheless, you get the concept.

So to recap…

• Step one in the Basic System for Success: Read 10 Pages a Day of a Good Book.




• Step two in the Basic System for Success: Listen to One Educational/Motivational CD (or about 45 minutes) Every Day.

And, tomorrow, I'll be discussing Step 3.  But before I go, I want to leave you with some of my favorite “milk before meat” audios that will make a big difference in your life.
