The 3 C's of Professionalism by Michael "MJ The Terrible" Johnson

There are undoubtedly going to be times in your business/career, where it will be difficult to stay calm, but try to remember that cooler heads prevail.Never lose your cool with a customer/client. Always try to maintain your composure, no matter what the customer/client does. When you do that, it shows that you can keep your composure in tense moments, and it builds their confidence in you. 

When we are upset, we are unbalanced and unreasonable. Try to move beyond being upset as soon as possible, and never make big decisions when your emotions are doing the decision making. 

My first sales manager and mentor, who I still consider to be in the top 5 best sales professionals/closers I've ever known, taught me the following strategy that I am about to share with you. I thought this was great advice back in 2003 when I first learned it, and I still practice it to this very day. The strategy is called the 3 C's of Professionalism. 

Derron, or "Big D", as we used to call him, said this to me- "Michael, I always practice the 3 C's of Professionalism. Do you know why? Because if you practice the 3 C's of Professionalism, which are calm, cool and collected, you have the highest likelihood of getting the 4th, and unwritten C, which is cash, and cash is what makes it worthwhile enough to be away from your friends, family and loved ones during the business day." 

"Don't settle for less than everything you want. Know when to shut up and collect the money. It's better to get paid than be right. Money doesn't buy happiness, but it can afford you the time to find happiness. Without a challenge you can't rise to anything. Pick your battles. Push your limits. Ask for more. Demand better. Eliminate should from your life by doing. Live a life without regrets by trying everything that interests you in the least and don't waste time, because time is the most valuable commodity in life." Michael "MJ The Terrible" Johnson, Founder & Owner of Masters of Money, LLC.

And always follow these 3 words, the most important 3 words for success and achievement- BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!

How To Always Have The Highest Likelihood Odds For Success

1. Limit mistakes. Instead of saying or doing the wrong thing, think first and then execute.

2. Make success a must. If you must do something, then you will think of a way to do it, nomatter what. 

3. Refuse to be outworked. Go early and stay late when you need to. 

4. Use proven strategies for success. Proven strategies come with proven odds for success. 

One of the fastest and most effective ways to succeed in life and in business, is to duplicate, not innovate. 

If their is a proven/high odds for success strategy that you can follow to get started or improve your results, to achieve success quicker and easier then what you are currently doing, do it! 

Proven formulas are called proven for a reason- They work! One of my favorite sayings is- “You can either be right or you can get paid.” Being right can be very expensive. Getting paid is very enjoyable.

By working smarter, not harder, you are more likely to achieve the success you want, and you are also more likely to achieve the success you want faster.

5. Learn from the people that are at where you want to be at in the future. 

6. Master the basics. Many of lifes and businesses most important moments, come down to the basic fundamentals. 

7. Improve your skill level whenever possible. Practice CANEI: Constant and never ending improvement 

8. Learn from your mistakes. We all make mistakes, but if we can learn from our mistakes, then we are turning negatives into positives. 

9. Focus. Having a single minded focus. Focusing on what you want day in and day out, keeps you moving in the direction of what you want. Anything worth doing, is worth focusing the majority of your time on. 

When you throw yourself completely into what you are doing, you are much more likely to experience a positive outcome. 

10. Communicate effectively. Try to keep all of your communication simple and to the point. Clear and concise communication, is more effective communication. 

11. Be open to change. Change is coming whether we like it or not, so get used to it, and see the possibilities, versus resisting it, and only seeing the negatives.

"When you do the right things consistently, over a long enough period of time, you are positioning yourself to be in the right place, at the right time, when opportunity strikes." - Michael "MJ The Terrible" Johnson

So, keep your eyes on the prize and the gas pedal pushed to the floorboard!

Game Changer!

My Grandma, Alma Bartlett Johnson, suffered a terrible stroke just a few days before her birthday, on September 30th, 1997. My Grandpa decided since she was only being kept alive by machines, that he would wait until her birthday(September 30th), to turn the machines off, and let her pass. The doctors told the family that once the machines were off, she probably wouldn't survive 15 minutes. Well, that's not what happened at all! Not only did she live more than 15 minutes, but she lived all the way until October 4th(my birthday), 5 days later, with no food, no water and no machines, at a hospice care facility.

I learned 3 very important lessons through the most emotionally devastating event I had lived through up to that point in my life.

1. Life is short, and if you don't fully experience while you can, someday when you look back on your life, you will regret it.

2. Life can and will challenge us in ways we are prepared for, and ways we are not prepared for. For that reason, and this is easy to say, but also important to try to do- Take life as it comes. Let the small things go, and try to embrace the big things that happen that change our lives, because a lot of things in life are completely out of our control.

3. If you have dreams, follow them! For some reason their are a lot of people in this world that are just downers, haters, naysayers, or whatever else you want to to call them, and they will only give you the negative side of things, or say something isn't possible, or why you can't do something, but you know what? To hell with them! Many of the world's greatest discoveries and inventions would have never happened if the dreamers of the world would have listened to all of the people who told them something couldn't be done.

If you are reading this now and some of what was said in this message resonated with you, I don't know who will read this, or what you may dream up and want to do, but I say.....GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!

Sincerely,

Michael "MJ The Terrible" Johnson

Hater To Entrepreneur Translations III by Michael "MJ The Terrible" Johnson

It can be hard for the haters and the entrepreneurs/dreamers/doers to understand each other, so I thought it might be a good idea to help translate......

He/she already works from 9 to 5. Then he/she comes home and works for another 2 hours on this crazy business idea. = Working from 9 to 5 is where you make a living. Working on your business or idea before 9am or after 5pm, is where you make your fortune/bring your business or idea to life!

He/she is anti social now. He/she never wants to go out anymore. = Staying home to save money, to be able to have money to invest in your business/idea. 

He/she has these "epiphanies" where he/she goes on and on about these unrealistic fantasies. = Sharing your passion with people you care about, but who will likely not get it, unless they themselves are of a similar mindset. 

He/she wastes all this time reading these books about how to become more successful. = Just like you what you put into your body effects your health, what you put into your mind, effects your mind/mindset. 

He/she talks to himself/herself in the mirror. = Getting mentally prepared to do well when it counts. 

He/she is so arrogant. He/she said- "I will find a way to make this work, because I am determined." = You have the right mindset to problem solve and find solutions, so that you can build and grow a successful business.

He/she is schizophrenic. = Multitasker capable of compartmentalizing. 

Grandiose Ideas = Visionary 

It feels demeaning to me when he/she goes on these rants about what all he/she is going to do. = Sharing your vision with the people you care enough about to share your vision with. 

He/she always returns to his/her old ways. = Determined to succeed, and doesn't give up easily. 

Nobody but him/her thinks this hairbrained scheme is going to work, but he/she just keeps working on it. = Commited

Nobody has ever tried that before, and their is probably a reason. = Thinking outside the box. 

Why does he/she want to start a business, when he/she could just work at the mill like everyone else? = Not willing to settle for less, when the world is filled with endless possibilities. 

He/she is crazy! = He/she is more creative/optimistic/forward looking than the haters, so the haters falsely judge him/her.
