Swimming with Sharks - A Rewind

Nutcase news was recently able to locate Zeru - one of the
MMM2 Challengers, in an effort to see if the program is the
"Real Deal" or just helium filled "hype balloons" that one
releases and never sees again. We found him alone at his desk
accompanied only by the sweet sounds of K-Love radio. We
wanted to know just how he had progressed through the
challenge since the last selection process and the writing of
his definitive article - "Swimming With Sharks - How I
Will Avoid Becoming Fish food." We were especially
interested in how those statements had affected his life and
how he was able to succeed.
Nutcase Radio: In statement 1 - you said, "I will be calm. If I was slack all week then it is way too late to compensate." What is it that makes some people perform while others don't?
Zeru: It might be something as lofty as a vision - a big "why" for them being here on this planet breathing God's holy air. It can be something as primal as fear. Bills have to be paid. Things have to get done or the consequences will be quite terrible - more dire than they are now. For me it is both and then some. I do not need to psyche myself to get up and move. My enemies have already chosen the battlefield and the time for war. I will rise up and disappoint them. I must be Irish - I love a good fight. Nothing like the smell of death and destruction to quicken the senses.
Nutcase Radio: Ok. In statement 2 - you said, "I will maintain a winning pace. Early high fliers tend to burn out with nothing left for the finish. Slow starters may have too much of a hill to climb. Stay with the main pack. Conserve strength for the finish." Have you seen early fliers falter and fade? What has happened to slow starters?
Zeru: Unfortunate I have seen both happen. The universe is based on Quantum energy - not that I am a physicist or one of those "New Agers." What I have observed is that we must live in a balance between activity and rest. The seasons change so the earth can rest. We must made good use of spring and summer for winter comes to cull the sluggard and the weak. It is always a good idea to do enough and to be consistent. We must always produce more than we consume, storing away a little at a time. That way we can enjoy the sowing but have the energy to enjoy the harvest.
Nutcase Radio: In statement 3 - you said, "I will not be a "busy body" trying to be on everyone's wall. What good is a rolodex with 1000 names when 999 of them don't mean anything to you? I will not join groups and make posts just to create activity. I have more urgent things to do than that. Every step I make must lead me towards my destiny and not into empty rooms or dead ends." Do you have a problem with people?
Zeru: I hope not! It is group dynamics sorting itself out. We do not connect the same with everyone. Some folks you can talk tough to without occasioning a fight. Some will ignore you no matter what you say. Some will let the lower emotions control their reactions to you. I can always do a better job at communicating with people but I have no illusions that I will be everyone's best friend. Life is a competitive sport. Some folks can't handle winning, some can't handle losing. I am a loving guy most of the time but I am merciless to my enemies.
Nutcase Radio: So have you gone where you wanted and avoided those "empty rooms."
Zeru: For the most part - Yes! Some paths such as my marketing specialty, were chosen for me by my mentors but they have chosen wisely. I am enjoying my specialty and I am definitely becoming one to be reckoned with in this area of the business. It is only a matter of time before the right people recognize my gift in this. I believe that they have already begun to do so.
Nutcase Radio: In statement 5 - you said, "The image I create is the image I will back up. Anything outside of that is vanity and fluff. " What image of you do you think members of the RDC have?
Zeru: Some may think that I am a bit of a "bull pusher" (that is an oil field term for slave driver) - So what, I like getting things done. Make my time count! Some may think that I am too robotic - I can only think in straight lines. OK, I have a very detailed business plan and I know the next 5 moves I am going to make - Do you? Some may think that I am a bit of a show off. I don't see anyone focusing on the folks at the back of the line and on those that are dropping out. The ones at the head of the line get the spotlight. The Mentors and Directors gave me lots of points for doing good work and for going the extra mile. Now if that is offensive then take it up with them. I love getting credit for doing what I enjoy. Now, if I can only start getting paid for it too!
Nutcase Radio: You also said, " I will make no attempt to "curve fit" (for benefit of my trading friends) the process by just telling the directors what they want to hear. " Were you pointing at specific individuals?
Zeru: Look, for what ever reason, my meds seem to have given me a sixth sense. I observe people and I develop a sense of who they are that is darn accurate. I would love to be proven wrong. Even now I can tell you that there are "tin cans" amongst us that will not make it in this challenge and even more so , not make it in their business. It does not matter how much they talk or the intensity of their speech - their core is a hollow shell. They will be crushed by the very vacuum they have created in their souls. I will bet the bank against them and win every time. Am I a cold dog? I guess I am!
Nutcase Radio: Man, with that attitude you will not be winning any votes. Where do you see yourself in the next 3 months?
Zeru: How about this, I only care about the votes that count! Give a fool a ballot and he sells it for bread; give it to a wise man and he changes the world! I can now tell a lot about people by the way they vote. It has only refined the images of the personalities I have created. Nothing is wasted; nothing is taken for granted.
As for the challenge - there is no one between me and first place. If I haven't been beaten now, it would be near impossible to beat me going forward. I am not saying that to boast. We are now getting into the area of my greatest strengths. If you cannot beat me in the classroom - you can't beat me in the field. That is when I shift into 4th gear and put some distance between me and the pack. I am a doer and my hands are more blessed than my mind. I am not scared of reality, I welcome it.
Before this challenge is complete I would have completed a wholesale or rehab deal. More importantly, my business would be an efficient, well oiled machine that puts out product that blows away the competition. The next 3 months is a mere battle of occupation. I need enough to survive. The proceeding three months is where all "hell" will break loose in my market. This is the war for expansion and annihilation. Yes - there will be blood! Once I am not distracted by my constant need to find "present provision" - my linear mind will plot and execute the demise of my competitors. This market shall be mine to share with whom I choose.
Within 6 months after this challenge ends - I will be doing 4 deals a month or $60k a month which ever is greater. Yes you are seeing correct! And that is peanuts to where I am heading. Two years to my first $1M. This is not pie in the sky. Think I am up late at nights watching TV? I have the anointing, I have the desire and now I will acquire the know how through my mentors.
Sit back and enjoy the show Probie - you might learn something.
Ok, time for my shots. The Sabbath is getting near.
