Arnold Schwarzenegger: They told me I’d fail!

Arnie - They told me I'd fail!

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnie: They told me I’d fail! was inspired because I read a newspaper clipping about Arnie and what has been written about him also applies to YOU!

Mentioning Arnold may make you think of your favourite Arnold Schwarzenegger movie — I love Terminator. I have this vision of him standing, looking menacing in dark glass and saying, ‘I’ll be back!’

Did you know that before Arnold became a movie star he was a body builder?

Well, he was pretty terrific at that, too, because he won five Mr. Universe and seven Mr. Olympia titles.

The fascinating thing about the article is that Arnold is quoted as saying:

People told him that he’d never make it as:

  1. A bodybuilder
  2. An actor
  3. In politics

Clearly he’s been successful at all these things, not to mention the fact that he was married to Maria Shriver, who is practically American royalty.

At the end of the article Arnold goes on to say, ‘So this is a lesson to all of you—never take NO for an answer; never listen to naysayers’.

According to a friend who witnessed Arnold firsthand whilst training at Gold’s Gym, Arnold has the incredible ability to ignore his circumstances and just focus on his goals.

Now, what’s happened to your dreams?

How many times have you just not gone for your goals because of what someone said to you? Or maybe you’ve been told you’re not good enough or deserving of abundance.

And because you didn’t have enough self-confidence not to listen, you just quit before you’d even started.

You probably have a million reasons why you’re not going for it, and it really does not matter what your story is.

What matters is that you realise that someone like Arnold has a mind-set of success.

This means all Arnold sees in his head is the goal he’s going for, and that goal is so firmly wired into his brain, he may listen politely to someone saying he can’t do it, but what’s key is that he doesn’t believe it.

He just knows clearly and without any DOUBT what he’s going for.

Do you want to develop an invincible mind-set like Arnold? [P.S. this is where you have to ignore the little voice in your head that says ‘I’m not Arnie’].

Schedule a call with now if you are ready to change your life.
