“History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.”
Winston Churchill
Orrin Woodward and the Team have put together an opportunity for each of us to do exactly that… write our own history. The Team system put together by Orrin Woodward gives each individual who utilizes it the chance to literally become whomever they choose through personal growth. How does your story read? Are you writing it or are you letting someone else?
The following is taken from Conversations With Millionaires written by Mike Litman and Jason Oman:
I have a question here from a gentleman. His name is Matt, in
The absolute most important thing you can do, Matt, is read The E-Myth. Now, if you haven’t done that, you have to do that. That’s the first thing.
The second thing you do once you have read The E-Myth is to ask yourself the questions, “what do I want from my life?” Forget about your business, Matt. Forget about your business. It’s a complete unadulterated waste of time. Your life is your business and so you have to ask yourself, “what do I want?” What I mean by that is, what is your primary aim? Do you remember earlier, we talked about creating a story? Telling the story. Our life is a story. The problem is we’re not writing our story. So this is the very first thing we tell our clients to do. Mike, the first thing you do when we get done tonight you go home and you imagine your C.O.D. Imagine your crap out date. Imagine you’re at your own funeral and suddenly you’re speaking. You’re at your own funeral. You’re speaking to everybody at the funeral and you say, “listen, I have to tell you a story. Nobody else could tell you this story like I can. Nobody knows me like I do.” You’re dead, Mike, you understand? You made the recording before C.O.D., before you died. What story would you tell them?
Okay, so today is the first day of the rest of your life. What a cliché. What a horrible cliché. But the fact of the matter is, it is!
Imagine going home tonight and writing this script for the tape you’re going to play at your own funeral and saying, “Hi. I want to tell you the story of a guy. His name is Mike. He was, you know, however old when he saw the light. And that day he decided he was going to create by intention, absolute intention, the rest of his life. This is the story.”
Telling it, telling it, telling it, and then living it, Mike. But nobody does that. Everybody is out there having accidents.
There is no coincidence… there’s only providence. Stop letting accidents direct your life and start writing a story worth reading. The story you want to tell!
