That shit REALLY hurt the poor little guy.)<\/p>\n<p>The monkey became anxious but soon learned to avoid the red squares.<\/p>\n<p>Next, the experimenter caused the yellow squares to also give off intermittent shocks.<\/p>\n<p>The monkey acted like he was bipolar, alternating from hyper-anxiety to depression then withdrawal.<\/p>\n<p>The monkey soon learned to avoid both the red and yellow squares.<\/p>\n<p>Then ALL the squares were electrified.<\/p>\n<p>The little monkey began to bite himself, beat his head against the bars and poop on himself.<\/p>\n<p>For all intents and purposes, this little monkey had been driven crazy by his captors.<\/p>\n<p>This experiment took place over a period of one month.<\/p>\n<p>The monkey was then transferred to a second cage with a white floor.<\/p>\n<p>Soft music was played, he was touched, held and fed.<\/p>\n<p>Within a short time, he calmed down. Within two weeks he was playful and exploring his cage.<\/p>\n<p>At that point, the people conducting experiments couldn&#8217;t see the difference between this little monkey and a monkey from a rhesus\u00a0population not subjected to this cruel experiment.<\/p>\n<p>Stupid monkey.<\/p>\n<p>You see, unlike a \u201csmart\u201d human, he didn\u2019t know how to hold onto the past forever.<\/p>\n<p>And therefore continue to expect bad things in the future based on his past experience.<\/p>\n<p>He only knew how to adapt to changing circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Now here\u2019s where it gets REALLY interesting:<\/p>\n<p>When the monkey was put back into the first cage, he was anxious for\u00a0two days.<\/p>\n<p>But after assuring himself there were no shocks, he began to be as playful in that cage, too.<\/p>\n<p>Look, I don\u2019t wear a white coat and have a whole string of letters after my name.<\/p>\n<p>But because of reasons initially based on pure survival,<br \/>\nI\u2019ve been engaged in a 30-year study of human nature.<\/p>\n<p>More specifically, I\u2019ve worked very hard to try and figure out why 99% of the population continually self sabotages and lives their entire life in what any thinking person would define as \u201cfailure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But this one rhesus monkey study just totally hit the\u00a0nail on the head.<\/p>\n<p>99% of human beings are more stupid than a rhesus monkey.<\/p>\n<p>Or&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Maybe&#8230; just MAYBE&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;they&#8217;ve never had anybody who loved them enough to save them from the cage with the electric shocks&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;and transfer them to a cage with a white floor where soft music is played, they\u2019re held, loved and fed.<\/p>\n<p>[introspective silence]<\/p>\n<p>The #1 MOST important thing for success I\u2019ve seen over my 30 years of serial entrepreneurship is this:<\/p>\n<p>A mentor who truly cares about your success.<\/p>\n<p>Someone willing to invest his life into you.<\/p>\n<p>Somebody who understands quantum physics&#8230; and how intention and focused thought affect matter and energy.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, YOUR matter and energy.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore&#8230; the mentor cares enough to save his mentee from the cage with the electric shocks.<\/p>\n<p>And transfer him or her to a cage with a white floor where soft music is played.<\/p>\n<p>Where they\u2019re loved and \u201cfed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And THAT, dear friend, is my #1 motivation for doing what I do in\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/clicks.aweber.com\/y\/ct\/?l=BTVqf2&amp;m=JZkyEfBqkmfPRX&amp;b=.T.kAvDvrsHVgHMabMRCZw\">the Marketing Camelot<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A lofty goal.
