The other night me my wife a kids went to a Japanese steak house. Its a very nice resturant where the chefs coor the food right in front of you. Its always jammed packed. The wait time is normally 4 hours. I call ahead to make sure we arent waiting that long. The food is so good. They use all kinds of cooking oils and alcohol to cook the food. They spray the grill and then light it on fire. You will actually feel all the heat right on your face. The chef puts on a great performance.

I normally order fried rice, chicken, shrimp, and lobster. My food cost about $60 a plate. It is so good and it taste so clean and light. My wife orders the salmon and the sauce is so good that I normally sneak a few peices. My three sons go wild when we go there. They order what ever they want. My 14 year old sone Adriene orders double lobster and he eats it all. They eat like horses!

Afterward we hit our favorite spot, Barnes and Noble! Everyone buys stacks of books and I normally get a leather journal. The one that I just got was $65 but there is one that they are out of that I just got to have. It’s about $90. Khayri, my youngest, tries to buy a rocket every time but I keep telling him no! Khalil wants to try to sneak in a Pokemon book every now and then. Ro (my pet name for my wife Rochelle) always has her wide range of topics that she like to stay on top of.

At the end of the night with dinner and a trip to the book store our total tab is about $750. Its always a great outing and we do it once a week. The entire area is always loaded with shoppers spending money. No one is home huddling around the fire.

Dont believe all that you hear on the news and dont let it prevent you from taking action. You can have the life you deserve. You have to get tough.

Recently I was in a resturant and I saw an old gym buddy of mine. We were excited to see each other and instantly began to talk about old times. He asked me how my martial arts school was doing. But he had a surprised look on his face when I said its going great!

He said man I would really like to start my business as a personal trainer.  But I need a location  and I can’t seem to find one. He also said I dont know how to get inside to see them. He said even if I call the numbers no one will ever return my call.

I ask well what areas have you been looking at. So he named a few places and I said well I have checked those areas and they are extremely expensive. I told him I could give you some advice to help you but I am not sure if I want to. He asked why? I told him I would normally charge $2500 for a one hour consult. I said the money is about making sure the person was ready to receive the advice (something I learned from Tony Robbins). I said I would give it to you for free if you follow it. He said shoot I am ready.

Here is what I would suggest if I were you:

1 Contact a comerical real estate broker. I gave him the name of a company that I used with much success.

2 I would get that broker to show me some places that I would like to house my business.

3 …

Before I could go on I saw the self doubt come through. I saw the fear all over his face.

He said I can’t afford it. I said afford what. A broker, he said. I said well they will get with you and show you around for months without you paying them a dime. They will get their money from the landlord that you lease from. So it wont be any money out of your pocket.

Guess what happened? He ran out of the resturant and gave a good bye wave as he left. I mean he just turned around split.

I saw him start to tremble while we were talking but hey I thought he might be cold or something. LOL I was ready to pull out my cell and give him several of my contacts that took me years to find if he asked.

We have to be mentally in line with what we say we want. Thats where it starts! That is what will pull you through when challenges arise. When our minds are tuned to the right mental station those gems will be starring us right in the face.
