Big Arnie has the most famous face in the world. He is recognised by all who know him as being totally happy, a firm friend and a superb achiever. His reputation in these areas give great interest and many lessons for all of us here. His photo is recognised by everybody in any country.
He was voted many times the man with the most muscles in the world.
He was the youngest ever Mr. Universe winner at 22 years of age. He won this title an unheard of 7 times.
He was and still is one of the most popular bodybuilding superstars ever. He followed this up by writing some all time best selling books in this field.
From an early age he had talked about winning body building fame, going to America and becoming a famous film star. He had achieved the first stage of his vision. He had beaten everybody there was to beat in bodybuilding.
Having conquered this sub-culture so completely that he was known as the King of Bodybuilders. Arnie looked around for fresh fields to tackle.
The second stage of his dream was to become a famous film star. He had already made some movies and documentaries. He now moved into making movies full time.
He worked his way up into bigger and better movies with bigger and better budgets. He hit the heights with his part in Terminator 2. This movie, at that time, and for a long time after was the highest earning movie of all time. His pay rose in line with this and he was the highest paid actor per performance in Hollywood during this period.
He cashed in on his success by directing several movies.
This rounded out his childhood dreams nicely.
You must remember that Arnie had voiced these plans in his early teens. And now he had fulfilled them.
Now another aspect of Arnie's personal powers showed itself. He is always a planner. He plans constantly. He writes down his plans fully.
There is a tremendous lesson for you, as you will see later. And here is another tremendous lesson from a master achiever:
He plans his plans.
He puts them on a timeline.
And he examines them every week.
And that's not the most important lesson for you.
Here it is.
He puts in place plans for all areas of his life. Even his personal, enjoyment and family life. You may think this is a bit extreme so let me explain it a bit. When Terry O'Neill was over there, Arnold had two phones. At 5p.m one phone was turned off. VERY few people had the other phone number number. This number was reserved totally for friends, family and fun. It was forbidden to mention work, finance or business.
What a way to plan your life.
When the mobile phones became popular, Terry put this plan in place by buying two phones. Before this I had been with Terry when his phone would ring every three minutes. He now had the perfect solution.
Back to Arnie. Sometimes a project in part of his plan would be reaching achievement quicker than expected.
He doesn't pat himself on the back and sit down,
he sits down and puts a new plan in place.
Let me flesh that out a bit. Amongst his many interest,
Arnie is a property multi-millionaire. Let's suppose he has a property purchase project in place which he hopes to have finalised in 6 months. It looks that it will be finalised in four months.
He will start looking for another property to purchase.
Or another project to concentrate on. Or a fun event to get involved in.
There are many hidden lessons from the above for all of us and we will be exploring them at a later time.
Don't miss part 3.
