“Football is like life – it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.” – Vince Lombardi
Dr. Ronstadt, a professor of entrepreneurship did a study of the entrepreneurs going through the business program of a college. For twelve years, he studied these young adults, trying to find the reason why some went out and had a great deal of success (became very wealthy), while others did not see that level of success, but instead, just got a job and blended in with society.
He found that there was a difference between those who were successful and made a lot of money and those who did not, and it had nothing to do with their grades in school, nothing to do with their I.Q., nothing to do with their race or colour, their past, their parents, or their upbringing. The only difference he found was that the ones who were successful had the courage to launch businesses with no guarantee of success.
Dr. Ronstadt came up with what he called “the corridor principle.” He said:
“When you launch towards a goal, no matter the distance, you begin to move down a corridor of time. As you move, doors of opportunity will open that you would have never been able to see unless you had stepped out!”
That one insight will change your life! As you begin to step out in life, with no guarantee of success, doors of opportunity begin to open up for you that you would have never seen had you not stepped out.
This is exactly how the wealthy do it. This is exactly why we aren’t wealthy. We sit around waiting for the opportunities to come to us, for wealth to drop in our laps. You have been waiting fifteen years for the planets to all come into alignment so you could start your business. You’ve been waiting for the money, the people and the resources to drop in your lap. It never has happened and never will happen. But once you step out, the law of attraction attaches to your faith, which then brings the people, the resources and ideas you need to accomplish it. But you never would have gotten these things had you not stepped out.
YOU CANNOT SEE THE DOORS OF OPPORTUNITY UNTIL YOU STEP OUT!
The doors will not come to you. You have to step towards them. It is time to get moving.
When you do, you will see doors of opportunity that you never knew were there. The interesting thing is that they were always there. They were just up a little way, just a couple steps beyond what you could see.
You say, “You know, when I have money, I will invest.” No, no, no. To get lots of money, you will have to invest!
“When I have some security, I will take a risk.” But that’s not a risk then. “If I have a guaranteed business, then I’ll do that.” No, no, no. That’s not a risk! Without risk, there is no reward in your life. You have to step out in your life and then you will get.”
Scot Anderson, a cutting-edge entrepreneur & best-selling author, shares his own experience “What happened in my life was that I stepped out, and as I stepped down that corridor, my minds suddenly began to attract whatever I needed to have success. All these people had been there for years, but I would never have attracted them until I stepped out!
When I finally decided that I would buy land, I didn’t have the financing and I didn’t have a lot of money in the bank. All I had was a realtor and good credit. I found some land and said, “I want it. Write a contract.”
Two days later, a guy came into my life who got me zero down financing. A week later, a builder came across my path who could build for me for cheaper than anyone else. I found out a guy who had been my friend for years did architecture on the side and would draw up my plans for half price. I had been waiting for years to buy land, waiting for the financing, and the builder, the architect. Once I stepped out, all those doors became available to me.”
This is how the law of attraction works in real life. But remember, it all starts once you step down that corridor and come out of your comfort zone. (Excerpt is from “Think Like a Billionaire, Become a Billionaire: As a Man Thinks, So Is He” by Scot Anderson).
