<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>10. Letting your gut-instincts keep you safe.</strong> This
is more than street-smarts. I believe that gut instinct is not just some
strange source but 1- the spiritual essence of us and our connection
with the source of life, but also 2- it is a lifetime of observation and
learning from experience. I surely have experienced life and I have
spent my life observing people. I have the ability to peer into the
insides of people. My mother could do it. She would make these
statements about people she barely knew and she'd hit the nail on the
head about their very essence. I too have this ability. The thing is
it's not always something you can verbalize but your gut tells you some
things right off the bat. This is a very useful thing in the business
world and I believe we all have this ability but not everyone taps into
it. Being able to read people doesn't mean that you immediately run or
become best friends, it means that you proceed with caution filing away
the info you've got on hand right now. If there is something queer about
a business proposition, keep this up front as you examine it. You know
in your gut when something's right and when something's not right.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>9. A lifetime of self-examination</strong> - I cannot stress this enough.<strong> </strong>We
are a work in progress. You will make mistakes, your attitude will
change and you will grow. But if you don't take the time to examine
yourself and your attitudes along the way, you run the risk of becoming
stagnant and brittle. And brittle is a good candidate for crumbling
dust. Examine your relationships with people, your business practices,
not just your finances. In the end, it is your relationship with people
that makes you successful in both life and business. If you find
yourself having the same issues arise, it's time for some
self-examination. What are you doing to contribute to this issue? What
can you do to create a change?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>8. Open mindedness to new ways of thinking.</strong> How many
times have we seen people, throughout history, hold on to what they
believe is the ONLY way to think, to find the world moving on without
them? It was generally thought the automobile would never catch on;
after all, weren't bicycles and trains more than enough? It doesn't mean
you have to change your way of thinking or embrace it, just examine it,
educate yourself about it and recognize that it may be here to stay.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>7. Open mindedness to new technology</strong>--This relates
to number 8 but in a business capacity, it is even more important. A
pencil and paper may be your preferred method of working on finances,
but you had better know a few things about technology or you and your
pencil will be left behind. Sure you can hire others who know, but what
you don't know CAN hurt you. Read! You can learn so much about anything
by reading. And if you were tech savvy you would know the internet is
the greatest addition to the library in regard to learning about
everything!</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>6. Being streetwise and book-smart</strong> - There is
nothing more important than having a reasonable balance of both. Naivety
can cost you and not being educated to the level you need to function
well in your chosen environment can cost you as well. Don't leave your
street-smarts at the door in business environments but temper it with
real knowledge as well.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>5. Education and constant re-education </strong>-- I am not
talking about college degrees here. Though they are a great start, you
must continue to educate yourself. Take part in seminars, read
everything, surf the net. Even when you think you've got it, press on.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>4. A willingness to give back</strong> - First, take care of
yourself. Put yourself in a position to give back. I've had the
privilege to hear so many people speak about their ideas for new
businesses. The first thing they say is that they want to help people
and that they want to give away what they've got. Andrew Morrison, from
Small Business Camp and believer that
questions are more powerful than answers (see his book "21 Questions
that Will Build Your Business in 90 Days") always asks the question,
"Where's the money?" because if you can't support yourself, if you have
to close your doors because you are bankrupt, how can you realistically
help others? Sure there are exceptions to this, but most people have
been able to give back and help others because they helped themselves.
When you've helped yourself, GIVE BACK! I've seen many people become
selfish and bitter in this regard. "I had to do it for myself! Nobody
helped me!" They begin to dole out help in a miserly manner, looking for
something in return including gratitude. They also give with suspicion.
They suspect that those they give to will use it to steal something
from them. If you watch closely, here is where they will begin their
descent. If you feel like you got where you are on your own, look
carefully I say, because you did NOT get to where you are without help.
And much of it was given unselfishly and without restraint. Give
generously and from the heart and don't look back! (CAUTION: DON'T ALLOW
YOURSELF TO BE DRAINED DRY BY THOSE WHO LIKE TO PLAY UPON THIS NOTION
EITHER)</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>3. Love and caring for yourself -</strong> Here is a simple
analogy. When you board a plane you are treated to a demonstration of
what to do in case the oxygen masks drop from above. The first
instruction is to put your mask on first. This is especially important
because if you don't take care of your need first, you will not be able
to help others and that includes your children, your spouse or anyone
else. How does this relate to business? Create the situation that best
helps you first. Put yourself in a position of power or at least close
to the ear of power. Do a great job, first for you. Excel for you. Then
assist others, speak up for others, do for others.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>2. How you treat people</strong> -- I believe in this. I
don't think you really have to right to abuse people. Some people think
that certain groups of people are okay to abuse. I am not speaking from a
standpoint of race here either. These people think that it's okay to
abuse "the help" i.e. countless waiters and waitresses, assistants,
maids, children. They also think it's okay to abuse what they deem "fat
people" or people they believe are "ugly". They believe it's okay to
treat "telemarketers" with disrespect when these are just people doing a
job (I'm not talking about rude or abusive telemarketers either!). I
believe that the golden rule is truth that still stands, because truth
will always stand. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, or
your daughter or son, or spouse, etc. I urge you to read "How to Win
Friends and Influence People", by Dale Carnegie, over and over again.
Study the lives of the charismatic. Success was written in their
everyday dealings with people. Not on a superficial level but on a
deeper connecting level.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>1. Commitment to the journey -</strong> Here is what I
believe is the number one key to success for an entrepreneur. Are you
committed? What I am trying to say is that in all of my observations,
and from my own experience, I find that the journey is always the same.
It's a long road of self examination and improvement, skill examination
and education. It's making judgment calls about people, things and
situations. You continually correct the "course" until you are headed in
the right direction. To trust your gut, to keep the faith, to make it
through tough times, takes practice. The question is can you stick it
out? Do you quit because the money is low? Do you quit because you can't
find the right people? When do you say it's over?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Commitment to the journey. It is the key to success. Because you will
always see things that make you want to run. But you have to put your
faith on the table. You really have to stand against all odds. It takes
courage. And when you do this, you will succeed. As Goethe put it:</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back,
always ineffectiveness concerning all acts of initiative (and creation).
There is one elemental truth, the ignorance of which kills countless
ideas and splendid plans--- that the moment one definitely commits
oneself, then Providence moves all. All sorts of things occur to help
one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events
issue from the decision, Raising in one's favor all manner of incidents
and meetings and material assistance which no one could have dreamed
would come his or her way.</span></b></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04758207024758638095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224120785029786951.post-48106584547135569862012-06-09T12:30:00.000-07:002012-07-16T03:52:00.905-07:00What Is Success?<h3 style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
</h3>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Success is about getting all that you wanted to have. It's finding
that you have achieved your goals or fulfilled your plans and it's
waking up in the morning feeling victorious rather than feeling
defeated. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The feelings success brings will make you walk proudly in the streets with your head up high while being happy and satisfied.</span></div>
<h3 style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How to Be Successful in Life</span></h3>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Contrary to common beliefs,
there are no successful or unsuccessful people but instead there are
people who have the potential to succeed and who do things that helps
them realize this potential and there are people with the same potential
who don’t do those things. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The only thing you need to do to succeed is to do exactly what
successful people did. When you go through all of the information below
you will acquire the mentality of a successful person and this will help
you reach success. </span></div>
<h3 style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What Makes Me Unsuccessful?</span></h3>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you really want to be successful then you should have a solid
understanding of certain concepts that can limit your potential and that
can make you unsuccessful. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Successful people avoid these harmful concepts and so should you:</span></div>
<ul style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>False Beliefs</b>: False beliefs are incorrect ideas you hold
about something or about yourself. An example of a false belief could be
“I can never find a job in such a country” . False beliefs act as
limiters to your true potential
and so to your success. Getting rid of false beliefs and knowing more
about them is the most important task that you should do if you are
serious about success. False beliefs can not only limit your success
potential but they can even ruin your life. Some people stay broken for
years after a breakup just because they have some false beliefs about
love that they acquired from the media. In my book How to get over anyone in few days
i explained how getting rid of false beliefs such as "the one" and "the
soul mate" can help you recover in few days. This happens because the
mind refuses to recover if it believed that it will never find a
replacement for the person you broke up with. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>External Locus of Control</b>: This is the way of thinking that
makes a person assume that everything that happens to him is the result
of external factors. For example: saying that an exam was too hard when
you don't do well or claiming that high unemployment rate is the reason
you can't find a job are examples of external locus of control. The flip
side to that way of thinking is Internal Locus of Control which is the
way of thinking that makes you believe that you are in charge and in
control of everything that happens to you. None of the successful people
have an external locus of control so if you are serious about success
you should learn how to change your way of thinking from being based on
external locus of control to being based on internal locus of control. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Lack of Persistence</b>: What is good about having many qualities
and skills if you lost hope in succeeding after failing once or twice?
The only people who succeed in life are the persistent ones. Those who
continue working right to the end until they get what they want even if
everything was against them and even if they failed many times. If you
want to be successful then read the guide to persistence to learn how to stand up again even if you failed hundreds of times.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Lack of Flexibility</b>: Flexibility is the ability to adapt to
external conditions. It's the ability to try something else or another
method when your current method fails. The more flexible you are, the
more you will adapt to changes and the higher your chances of success
will be. Read this guide to learn how to be flexible and how to change your methods when they don't work.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Lack of Planning</b>: If you don’t have goals or plans then you
are going to be a part of other people's plans. If you don’t plan to be
the team leader at your work then someone else in your team will do so
and if you don't plan to get that high paying job then someone else who
planned and worked for it will take it from you. If you don’t plan you
will get swept away by the people who do. They will fill the positions,
make the money and get the fame while you'll just be a spectator.
planning is an essential item in the success toolkit. Read this guide to learn everything about planning and goal setting.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Lack of Self-confidence</b>: If you don't have a high self-confidence then most probably you will be too shy of presenting your ideas and you may give up your dreams as soon as someone tells you that they are not possible. You may fear taking any risks
and so ignore many opportunities that could have made you successful.
If you want to increase your chances of being a successful person, then
you must build your self-confidence. You can build it from scratch using
the ultimate guide for building self-confidence.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Thinking that you lack resources:</b> In my book How i did it
i explained how i managed to make a website that generates thousands of
dollars/month in less than 2 years with an initial investment that is
less than 50 dollars!! Don't fool yourself by thinking that you lack
resources because if you are serious about success you will do it
without having any resources. This website is one of the examples of
successful businesses that required no resources at the start up.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Success related Fears:</b> The types of fears that can affect
your ability to succeed are the fear of failure and the fear of success.
While they both seem to be complete opposites still they can have the
same effect on you which is preventing you from trying and so leading
you to failure. </span></li>
</ul>
<h3 style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Road to Success</span></h3>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you have already been through the previous guides and have prepared your toolkit then it's time to know how the road to success looks like so that you don't find unexpected surprises.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The road to success will probably be full of rejection, pain, hard work, disappointment as well as many other discouraging things but when you reach its end you will feel really happy and victorious.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You will feel proud of yourself for overcoming all of these obstacles
and for reaching your goals in spite of the many things that stood in
your way. You will be tremendously happy and satisfied and you will
experience the feelings described at the beginning of this article. In
short, you will receive the reward of being successful.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>1. Know what success is.</strong> If you don’t know what
success is (for you), how can you possibly create it? Success is
different things for different people and one person’s success (a
pregnancy for example) might be another person’s catastrophe. That’s
because success (or failure) is not so much about the situation,
circumstance, event or outcome as it is about what that “thing” means to
the person in the middle of it. In order to create success, you must
first define it – and far too many people haven’t. Be very clear about
what you want and don’t want for your life. Clarity produces excitement.
Excitement produces momentum. Momentum produces behavioural change.
Behavioural change produces different results and eventually, the
internal vision becomes an external reality. Giddy-up.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>2. Get comfortable being uncomfortable. </strong>Some people
will live a life of second-best, of compromise and of under-achievement
simply because they are (1) controlled by fear (2) always looking for
the magic pill or shortcut and (3) not prepared to do the tough stuff.
People who always take the easy option are destined for mediocrity. At
best. Constantly avoiding the discomfort means constantly avoiding the
lessons and the personal growth. Pain is a great teacher. Not always
what we want, but sometimes what we need.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>3. Seek to be righteous, not right. </strong>The need to be
“right” speaks of arrogance, insecurity, ego and stupidity. It’s also
synonymous with failure. The person who constantly needs to be right
will miss out on much of what life has to teach him and alienate himself
from others. Arrogance repels, humility attracts.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>4. Seek respect, not popularity. </strong>It’s been said that
our nature is “who we are” and our reputation is who people think we
are. When the two are synonymous, we’re usually on the right path.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>5. Embrace mess.</strong> To embrace mess is to embrace life
because life is messy, unpredictable, unfair, uncertain, lumpy and
bumpy. So get used to a little chaos. Embrace it even. While others
succumb to the messiness and unpredictability of the human experience,
make a conscious choice to be the calm in the chaos.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>6. Don’t become your parents.</strong> Or your boss. Or
anyone but you. The enormity of conformity is a problem for the wanna-be
success story. Sure, your parents are great and by all means respect
them, love them and learn from them, but please don’t become them;
that’s just plain ugly and a little bit tragic. Listen to, and learn
from other people, but think, act and decide for yourself. And no, you
don’t need anyone’s approval or permission; you’re big now. It’s okay.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>7. Use more of what you already have.</strong> Imagine what
you could achieve if you took all the knowledge, intelligence,
opportunities, time, skill and talent that you currently have and
absolutely milked it. What if you already have more than enough talent
to become wildly successful? Well, you do. There go the excuses. And
that voice that’s telling (some of) you right now that you don’t have
what it takes to become successful, that’s called fear. Not logic, fear.
Not reality, fear. Unless of course, you allow that to become your
reality. Be mindful that the voice in your head (the very loud, annoying
and persistent one) is rarely a reflection of your potential and mostly
a manifestation of your insecurity. And no, you’re not alone in your
self-doubt; it’s a universal condition. Many people fail, not because
they don’t have what it takes, but because they don’t use what they
already have. Successful people typically don’t have more innate
potential, luck, time or opportunity than the next person, but they
consistently find a way to use much more of what they have at their
disposal. While the majority are rationalising their lack of decision
making and action taking, these guys are finding a way to get the job
done. The question is not “how much ability do you have, but how much
will you use?”.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>8. Be an innovator, not an imitator. </strong>Not too many
sheep succeed. Baaah. Sometimes it’s a good idea to build your own team
rather than join someone else’s. Don’t let your fear stand in the way of
your potential to create, innovate or lead. When I set up Australia’s
first commercial personal training centre, most people told me it wouldn’t work. Glad I didn’t listen.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>9. Do what most won’t.</strong> If you want to achieve what
most people won’t (happiness, joy, calm, wealth, optimal health,
balance) then don’t do what they do. If you want to be like the
majority, then do what they do. Producing different results comes from
doing different things. Simple really. And effective. Most people won’t
persevere, won’t finish what they start, won’t find the good, won’t do
what it takes, won’t question their long-held beliefs, won’t be
solution-focused, won’t do what scares them and won’t “be the change”
they want to see in their world. Choose to be different.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>10. Be like water. Powerful. Gentle. Adaptable. Ever-changing.</strong>
Being static in a dynamic world – like the one you and I inhabit – is a
recipe for disaster. If you can’t adapt, you can’t succeed. Our
practical, three dimensional reality, and everything in it, is in a
constant state of transition, while some of us are in a constant state
of “same”. Statues don’t succeed, they just get crapped on.</span></b></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04758207024758638095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224120785029786951.post-60953366888862153652012-04-12T12:00:00.000-07:002012-07-16T04:34:04.596-07:0020 Qualities for a Successful Life<h3>

do you define a successful life? Is it by how much money or stuff you
have amassed, or is it by the legacy you leave behind? All too often we
equate a successful life with material possessions. Yet, there are
millions of people out there who lead successful, fulfilled lives who
may be of modest means. They may not be rich in the financial sense, but
they are rich in life and values.</span><span class="fullpost" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /><br />So what
are the things we should strive for to make our lives successful and
have a positive impact on those around us? Here is a list of traits that
I think defines what true success in life is all about. Does your
list differ?</span></b></span></div>
<ol style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sincerity</span>.
Be sincere in your actions. Don’t try to deceive or impress others. Be
yourself, and do what you feel is right based on your values and
beliefs. You will be surprised at how people accept you when you stop
trying to be someone you aren’t.</b></span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Unfeigned</span>.
Be genuine in what you do; your actions speak louder than your words.
Don’t falsify or embellish events that may have happened. Don’t say one
thing and do the other.</b></span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Wholehearted</span>.
Be enthusiastic about what you do. Show it. Be committed to life and
everything that you set out to accomplish in life. Devote yourself to
your family, friends, and community and commit yourself to being the
best father, husband, wife, mother, friend, and neighbor you can be.</b></span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Honest</span>.
Be honest in your dealings with yourself and with others. When others
interact with you, let them see someone who is reputable, respectable
and genuine. Do what you say you will do and never use fraud or
deception to get ahead in life. Let ethics, morals, and honor be your
compass.</b></span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Heartfelt</span>.
When you do something for someone, or they do something for you, let
your thanks and emotion be openly and outwardly expressed towards them.</b></span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hearty.</span>
Be someone who displays an honest, warm, and exuberant personality to
those around them. Let your feelings show and let them be genuine when
they do.</b></span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Humility.</span>
Don’t lead a life thinking you are better than others or are superior to
those around you. Modesty and humbleness will leave a far more ever
lasting impact on people than trying to show off.</b></span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Personal integrity</span>.
Always follow your heartfelt values, and never let a situation or
anyone steer you away from doing what you know is right. Be someone that
people can look up to and respect and not someone who trades his or her
moral values for material gains in life.</b></span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Incorruptibility</span>.
Let it be known that you stand firm for what you believe in and that
your morals, values and actions are not for sale. Don’t let outside
forces corrupt the person you are.</b></span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sound</span>. Show good judgment and sense in life. Don’t let prejudices or emotions cloud your judgment.</b></span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Whole</span>. Be focused on what you want to achieve in life. Give everyone you interact with your complete and undivided attention.</b></span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Courtesy</span>. Practice good manners even though others around you may not.</b></span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Civility</span>.
Graciousness and respect go a long way in life. What is more, they are
viral – when people see you doing it they are more apt to practice
civility themselves. Be kind to others and extend courtesy towards them.
Don’t interrupt people when they speak and don’t dominate the
conversation.</b></span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Wisdom</span>.
Gain from the wisdom that is inside you. Understand the inner qualities
of people and learn how to understand situations that might be
different than we are used to.</b></span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Charity</span>.
Practice kind, gentle, and compassionate treatment of others –
especially those who may be undeserving. Learn to extend a hand to help
others, even though they themselves may not have helped you.</b></span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Empathy.</span>
Be aware that each person is different and may have different values
and beliefs than those that you hold. Be understanding of the feelings
and thoughts of others without having to be told or reminded of them.</b></span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sympathy</span>. Share your feelings with others and understand the emotional situations that people go through. Put yourself in their shoes.</b></span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Compassion</span>. When someone is in distress, reach out with a genuine interest in helping alleviate their suffering.</b></span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Altruism</span>. Think of others without thinking of yourself. Do good things for people without expecting something in return for yourself.</b></span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Magnanimous.</span>
Be generous in life. Give of your time, money and wisdom. Share with
others so they can see the true joy and adventures of life themselves.</b></span></li>

</h2>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">The aim of this article is to provide an outline of the
attributes you require to become incredibly successful, so you can
decide how you need to improve to increase your levels of success. Each
attribute will be dealt with in depth in future articles and e-Books,
but this is a great starting point if you truly want to become hugely
successful.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">The first thing I want to say here, is that I’m talking about being successful in all areas of your life. <strong>This
article’s not just about being successful in work or business, it’s
also about being successful in your relationships, all aspects of your
home life, your hobbies and interests, your health and fitness… in fact
just about anything you want to be successful in!</strong></span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">So, as you read through this article, simply apply the thoughts and
ideas to the area(s) of your life in which you want to achieve success…
or more success!</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">OK, let’s get started – have you ever known me to hang around – of course not! And I’m not going to disappoint today, either! </span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">This may shock you… or it might not… but <strong>there is no secret to success!</strong>
What? I can hear the cries from far and wide! Don’t believe me? That’s
probably because so many gurus, coaches and so-called experts have
created this great mystery behind success… usually down to their own
self-interest! Create a mystery… create a problem… then cerate a
solution… and charge people for it! Look, we all need to earn a living,
but why the mystery? Let’s just be honest with each other and help each
other and this world of ours will be a much better and happier place to
be!</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">OK, you want a secret? This is it… </span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>You can achieve success in any area of your life… as long as
you have the desire to do so and as long as you’re prepared to learn a
few new things along the way. Add to that the ability to set goals, a
touch of confidence and success is yours for the taking! Weh-hey!</strong></span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Oops, I’ve let the cat out of the bag… it’s not a secret anymore!
Aargh! OK, if it’s not a secret, you’re probably wondering why some
people are so successful and others are failures! Your words… not mine!
Actually, there’s no such thing as a failure… just a lesson learned. Ask
Thomas Edison (inventor of the electric light bulb). Well, OK, so you
can’t ask him now… he’s no longer with us… but his quote is so famous
and makes my point well! He was asked how he carried on with his
research when his experiments failed so many times. And his answer? </span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work”.</strong></span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Now, you can be picky about the 10,000 times, but the point’s made
perfectly! Each time Edison “failed”, he just learned something that
didn’t work. He didn’t see it as failure, he simply took another step
towards his eventual success! How cool is that? So, what can you take
from that? Have you just learned something? Can you take a leaf out of
Edison’s book and start learning today? Sure you can! And in doing so,
you’ll be well on the way to becoming successful yourself!</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">OK, so let’s get back on track and explore what it is that makes some
people successful… whilst others fail miserably! Aargh! There I go
again, talking about failure! Now this is important! If you accept
failure as failure, then of course, you can fail. It’s only by treating
“failure” as a lesson learned that you all of a sudden cannot fail! Does
that make sense? I hope so, because it does to me! Lol!</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Attitude</strong><br />
If I had to pick out one thing that makes some people successful and
others failures, it would be attitude. People who achieve outstanding
success approach things in a totally different way to those who are
unsuccessful. Their attitude is one of “never say die” and they also
expect to succeed. Failure doesn’t even enter their mind for a split
second. All they see is the finishing line… and breaking the tape!
Creating a winning mindset is so important to becoming hugely
successful.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Just do it!</strong><br />
You won’t see too many successful people wondering what to do next,
either! They have an attitude of getting on with things, rather than
talking about what to do next. They won’t be pondering about what will
happen when they try things, they simply get on and do it! They’ll try
things out. Learn from the results and then move on to the next step.
They’ll keep doing that until they’ve reached their goal. Problems will
be resolved. Obstacles removed or hurdled. Nothing gets in their way.
Nothing!</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">The big question now is, “How do <em>you</em> become hugely successful?”</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Now there’s a tough one! But, since we’re working on becoming an incredible success, I’m sure we can get past it! Oh yeah!</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">OK, here’s a list of attributes I think you’ll need if you’re going
to become a huge success in life. Take a look and see if you agree with
me. As you read through the list, tick off those that apply to you
already and highlight those where you think you need a bit of work to
improve. If you can think of any more that you think should be added,
please contact me and let me know! You see, I’m willing to learn. I’m
learning all the time!</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">OK, You’ll need to have:</span></b></div>
<ul style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<li><b><span style="font-size: large;">a vivid long-term <strong>vision</strong> of where you want to get to in life</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-size: large;">set high, but achievable <strong>goals</strong></span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-size: large;">a <strong>desire to be or achieve the best</strong> – 2nd best just isn’t an option</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-size: large;">a belief in yourself and that you <strong>control your own destiny</strong></span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-size: large;">a high level of <strong>drive and energy</strong></span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>strength of purpose</strong></span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>motivation</strong></span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-size: large;">the ability and <strong>willingness to learn</strong> from your mistakes</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-size: large;">a clear way of <strong>measuring your success</strong></span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-size: large;">a willingness to <strong>celebrate your successes</strong> – Oh yeah!</span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-size: large;">the ability to <strong>work on your own</strong> and <strong>make your own decisions</strong></span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-size: large;">the ability to <strong>work with and learn from others</strong></span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-size: large;">great <strong>self-confidence</strong></span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-size: large;">a willingness to <strong>take some risks</strong></span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>a desire to achieve excellence!</strong></span></b></li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Now, that’s quite a list, isn’t it? If you have all those qualities
in abundance, you have no real need to read this article! However, my
guess is that you probably have some of them, but in varying degrees of
abundance! What that means, is you’re probably getting some successes in
your life, but with a little bit of work on yourself, you could achieve
so much more! So, if you want to achieve incredible success, read on
and we’ll take a look at how to start work on the things you need to
improve.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Create A Vision Of Your Perfect Life</strong><br />
This is crucial to your success! How can you achieve something, if you
don’t have a clear picture of it in your mind? Think of it this way. If
you had a bow and arrow in your hands and a target somewhere in the
distance and you were then blindfolded and spun around a few times, what
would be the chances of you hitting the target? Pretty slim, I’d say!
Take your blindfold off, pick out the target… aim… fire… bullseye! OK,
so you may need to learn some lessons before you hit the bullseye, but
don’t forget, that’s what successful people do all the time… so get some
lessons booked!</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Set High But Achievable Goals</strong><br />
I strongly suggest you do this with the help of a good coach. A good
coach will help you set goals appropriate to your skills, goals which
are challenging, but achievable. It’s important not to limit yourself by
setting easy goals, but it’s equally important not to set goals that
are out of your reach, because you’ll soon become disillusioned and will
then give up on your dreams. </span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Look, if I was to set myself the target of running 100 metres in 5
seconds, I’d be setting myself up for a fall. If I was to set myself a
target of running 100 metres in 20 seconds, it would be way too easy…
even for me! The secret is to come to a target that challenges and
pushes your limits, but gives you hope of success. That’s where a good
coach will help, by asking pertinent questions to enable you to set the
right goals for you. If we continue with the analogy above, 20 seconds
may not be a challenging goal for me, but for others it would be just
right and for some it would be downright impossible!</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>A Desire To Be Or Achieve The Best</strong><br />
Look, we all know that everyone can’t be the best! The idea here is to
achieve the best you possibly can! That makes you a winner. That makes
you an incredible success! If you have the desire to achieve incredible
success in everything you do, then that’s exactly what you’ll achieve!
Second best just isn’t even an option, because, if you do fall below
your high expectations, you’ll learn and improve… and keep improving
until you’ve reached your goal! </span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Look you’re not aiming for perfection here, but you’re aiming for
pretty damn close to perfection! As a golfer, you’re never going to get a
hole in one on every par 3 hole you play. You’re probably not going to
land within 5 metres of the hole every time, but you can set yourself a
target of hitting the green just about every time. Now, we all know that
every so often you’ll miss the green, but by setting the goal high,
you’ll hit it more often. Each time you miss, you learn a lesson, so you
can do better next time.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Believe In Yourself </strong><br />
One things for sure, if you don’t believe in yourself, nobody else will!
I’m not talking about being boastful or arrogant here, just being
confident in your own ability to “get the job done”. If you go around
telling others how great you are, you’ll lose a lot of friends and make
even more enemies! So don’t go there! Listen, just because you shouldn’t
go around boasting about you talents to others, it doesn’t mean you
can’t tell yourself exactly how wonderful you are! Don’t go over the top
though, well not too much, just keep it at a level that builds you up
so you know you’ll be successful. </span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Certainly, it’s extremely important not to be critical of yourself.
That’s just a recipe for disaster and will almost certainly lead to
failure. Nothing more needs to be said on that… do not put yourself
down… ever!</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>You Control Your Own Destiny</strong><br />
OK, I’m going to offer my apologies to anyone whose religious beliefs
suggest that life’s all mapped out for us and that we simply have to
tune into “God” and He’ll lead the way. I’m sorry, I just don’t see life
like that! I do believe in a greater power, a creator if you like. We
can call this creator, “God”, “The Universe”, maybe. It doesn’t really
matter. </span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Everything and everyone is linked by a force, which is why The Law of
Attraction works so well. But, we control how The Universe works for us
by our thoughts and actions, not the other way round. Why would we need
free minds, if our future was mapped out already? You better believe
you control your own destiny or someone else will do it for you! And
that would not lead to incredible success!</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>A High Level Of Drive And Energy</strong><br />
If you have a clear vision and have set yourself challenging goals, this
will come naturally. You’ll leap out of bed raring to go each and every
day! Well maybe, but I reckon there are other things that need to be
worked on here. Sure, your drive will be improved with a clear vision
and challenging goals and to a certain extent this will energize you.
However, you’ll also need to work on the physical side of things. A good
dose of exercise, relaxation, sleep and a healthy diet are all
essential here! In short then, look after both body and mind if you want
to Achieve Incredible Success!</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Strength Of Purpose and Motivation</strong><br />
When you’re creating your vision and setting your goals, it’s vital they
fall within your beliefs and values. This is vital to becoming
successful. If you set goals that fall outside your core values, then
you’ll lack the motivation to see them through. </span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Let’s say one of your core values centres around your family and
doing lots of fun things with your kids. If you then set yourself a goal
that takes you away from home for 4 days each week for the next three
years, then that goal’s in conflict with your core values, meaning you
will create inner conflicts as you strive to achieve success. It’s
almost inevitable that you’ll fail to reach you goal in this sort of
situation.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>The Ability And Willingness To Learn From Your Mistakes</strong><br />
OK, this is easy. You make a mistake – we all do that from time to time –
you learn from it, try again and hey presto you get it right! Yeah,
right! Look, that may happen once in a while, but generally life isn’t
quite that simple! So you’re going to need to be prepared to try things a
few times before you get it spot on, and each time you make a mistake,
you’re going to have to analyse what you did and improve on it next
time. You’ll need real stickability and you’ll need to be able to learn
new skills as you go along.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">To be honest, that’s no problem… learning is so much fun! Especially when it takes you nearer to achieving your goals!</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>A Clear Way Of Measuring Your Success</strong><br />
This sounds easy… and to be honest it is! Provided you set the right
goals! OK, here’s the deal. Each time you set a goal, you ask yourself
this simple question, “How will I know when I’ve achieved my goal?” At
work, that may be when you’re made a Director of your company. At home,
it may be when you’ve finished building an extension on your house.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">The next question’s maybe a little more difficult to answer. “How
will I know if I’ve been hugely successful?” OK, this is s bit more
subjective. At home, you may decide that your extension needs four walls
and a roof that doesn’t leak to make it a successful achievement! OK?
Does that make sense? To create incredible success, you’re going to have
to achieve your goals with style and flair!</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>A Willingness To Celebrate Your Successes – Oh Yeah!</strong><br />
This one’s so much fun! Every success has to be marked with a
celebration or reward. It may be a simple reward like a bar of your
favourite chocolate or even something like a cup of coffee. But for
major successes you’ll need to think of a special celebration! Maybe a
meal out in the best restaurant in town, or tickets to a show… your
choice! But, whatever you do, celebrate every success, no matter how
small… and celebrate in style!</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>The Ability To Work On Your Own And Make Your Own Decisions</strong><br />
If you’re going to become a hugely successful person, you’ll have to
make decisions and you’ll have to make them, sometimes, on your own. You
see sometimes, others will disagree with you, they’ll advise you one
way or the other and sometimes you’ll have moral dilemmas or maybe even
social issues to consider. But, what you have to consider, is that the
decision ultimately has to be made by you, for you! So make it! Then
live with it!</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">You’re also going to need leadership qualities, which will mean
working on your own at times. Doing what you think is best. Doing what
you want to do. Doing whatever it takes to move yourself forward in the
direction of your goals. Look, you’re pulling the shots… it’s your life.
So you’re going to have to take control, make decisions and get out
there and do it when you don’t always feel like doing it!</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>The Ability To Work With And Learn From Others</strong><br />
The one thing about becoming incredibly successful that many people
learn the hard way, is that you cannot do it on your own! Every hugely
successful person has had support, help, advice, coaching and much more
from others as they’ve strived for excellence. And each and everyone of
them will acknowledge that they couldn’t have achieved their success
without the help of others.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">So, learn to work with other people. Listen to their advice… you
don’t have to take it… but listen to it… consider it… then either take
it or discard it. Find people who have qualities and skills that you
need. Learn from them… and teach them your skills and qualities. You
must give as well as receive.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Find a guru, coach, a mastermind group, a support group, anything or
anyone that’ll support you. Find people who are like-minded, people who
want you to succeed. Network with them, build contacts, support each
other. Give and you will receive. Receive and you will give.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Be open to ideas from others. Consider them. Modify them. Use them.
Give ideas to others. As you do that, your subconscious mind will create
other ideas for you to use. Everybody will gain.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Great Self-Confidence</strong><br />
I could write a book on this one… well actually I have… well almost! I’m
adding the final touches right now… so look out for it very soon! Look,
this is a huge area and one that needs a lot of discussion. But for now
simply work on building confidence by celebrating every success. As you
do that, you’ll realise you can do things well, very well and that will
build your confidence. </span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">You’ll also find some articles on this site to help you build your
confidence… just click on the confidence link on the left of each page.
I’ll be adding lots more soon. The thing to remember here, is that
without confidence, you’ll limit your success levels drastically. So, if
it’s a problem with you, find a way to boost it as fast as you can.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>A Willingness To Take Some Risks</strong><br />
Now, this may sound like a contradiction, but believe me, this is one of
the most important things you’ll have to learn to do! You can achieve
limited success by taking the easy route, by making the easy decisions,
by plodding along. But, if you want incredible success, you’ll have to
take some risks… calculated risks of course. Some of them will come off,
others will fail, sometimes miserably. But you’ll learn when they fail
and you’ll grow so much faster when they come off!</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">With all risks, calculate the possible return if they succeed and the
downside if they fail. Then visualize and focus on success! Easy!</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>A Desire To Achieve Excellence!</strong><br />
Now this may sound obvious, but you’d be surprised how many people are
scared of success. You see, the more success you have, the more people
will expect you to succeed. And that brings pressure. Or at least it can
bring pressure.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Just remember, you’re doing this for you. Not for anyone else… for
you. So their thoughts and expectations are irrelevant! Your thoughts
and expectations are the only ones that count. Whether others perceive
you as a success or a failure doesn’t matter in the slightest! There you
go… pressure relieved!</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">OK, to finish off then… aim for excellence in all you do. Do the best
you possibly can. Always want to be the best. Always want to do your
best. Aim for the stars, always. Look, if you aim high and don’t quite
make it, you’ll still have achieved incredible success! And that’s what
you’re aiming for… isn’t it?</span></b></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04758207024758638095noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224120785029786951.post-70445320996840527662012-02-28T14:30:00.000-08:002012-07-16T05:34:38.129-07:00Say Thank You For Success in Your Business and Life<h1>
</h1>
<div id="article-content" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>One of the first things many of us were taught as kids was to say
"Thank you." It is one of the first things we taught our daughter, and
we still sometimes remind her when she is excited about something and
forgets. We'll ask her, "What do you say?" She will then always say
those magic words, that along with the other magic word, "please" mean
so much and can do so much for us. They are so important, take so little
time to say, and can add to our personal and business lives, so why
don't we say them or hear them more?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Are people's mom's not
teaching them any more? I don't think so. Are we getting lazy? Maybe.
Are we too used to typing "tx" or "ty" instead of writing it out? Maybe
that's it. We get so used to using the abbreviations that in actual
conversation we forget. I'm not sure. And what about sending actual hand
written thank you cards? How many people still do that? I know that I
do, and that I help my daughter send them too. I've always believed in
them, and I guess the one good thing is that if less people are sending
them, mine will make a greater impact and stand out more. If for no
other reason, this should be enough to get you to say thanks more and
start sending cards. It will help get you noticed. Besides, it's the
right thing to do.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Why does it get you noticed? It gets you
noticed because saying thank you is giving recognition and acknowledging
others for their contributions to you. People appreciate appreciation
and recognition is a great motivator. A sincere thank you can make a lot
of difference to both your personal and business relationships. And
there are many ways to say thanks, depending on the situation, so be
creative with your gratitude.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Personalize your thank you notes and
comments. Let the person know what you are thanking them for, and use
the thank you as an opportunity to connect with the person and further
your relationship. Make the thank you about the other person, express
acknowledgment for the act and offer thanks. Don't turn it into a sales
pitch or something else. Save the other message for a separate
correspondence.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Make it a habit to send written thank you notes
and to say thanks more often to those that do things for you. Besides
advancing your relationships and leading to more success, it simply
feels good to acknowledge others and say thanks. Be creative, enjoy
doing it, and always remember to say thank you.</b></span></div>

</h1>
<div id="article-content" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The #1 reason people fail to achieve success and abundance in MLM
or in life is they have too much pain linked to having, it. Obscured
somewhere deep in the mind, possibly even hidden deep in the
sub-conscious, there is this powerful negative association that lingers.
These negative associations manifest themselves in various conscious
and subconscious ways, that include: self-sabotage, approach avoidance,
fear, anxiety, or general disinterest towards wealth, success, and
achievement. Often people are not even aware they are suffering with
such an affliction. They never seem to get clear with their heart about
what they really, really want, and they never begin to germinate their
intentions. If you don't address these issues they will dog you every
step of the way throughout your life as you wonder why you feel less
than abundant, less than happy, less than fulfilled. This "comfort zone"
is designed as a survival mechanism but it maybe setting your success
level thermostatically far below what you really want in life. If you
knew how restrictive your comfort zone can be you probably wouldn't
refer to it as comfortable at all. I know it is ironic but it is the way
your brain functions.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The only way to effectively overcome this
obstacle if you suffer from it is to reset your inner success thermostat
for success and abundance. A good MLM company, system, or sponsor will
be of supreme benefit here. You have to eliminate the obstacles to your
success in this industry. Get to work enlisting a competent trainer and
get yourself to the mental gym.. The only thing you have to lose is your
chance of success.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The #2 reason people fail wildly successful in
life and in our industry is they refuse to make their reasons why a
burning desire! The Compelling Reason Why isn't there. A compelling
reason why is both the heart and the heartbeat that sends blood and
oxygen rushing to every essential success muscle in your body. It's the
fire that burns within. Without blood and oxygen your success will
atrophy and die! Without this fire to heat you you'll freeze to death on
the icy plains and never reach the Promised Land. You must find your
compelling reason why and become willing to pursue it with unbending
intent. This is why doing a compelling reason why exercise is so vitally
important.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The #3 reason people fail to reach success in MLM and
in life is they have no definite plan or there is no proven strategy
being employed to take you there. Elements of the success equation are
missing entirely or at least in part in their plans. Not having a
formula, system, or effective plan to follow is the equivalent to going
nowhere fast! If you are happy going nowhere, that's fine. But if you
are simply unwilling to invest in yourself, and your business, and go to
the necessary lengths, don't kid yourself. Your success is simply not
important enough for you to make any significant lasting headway. Until
your success and abundance becomes important enough, you will continue
down the same road, achieving the same similar results as you are
accustomed to.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The #4 reason people fail at success and abundance
in life and in MLM is that they don't follow through by taking the right
kind of consistent daily actions. Momentum never gets established.
Daily focused right action is required. Even baby steps in the right
direction established as a daily habit accomplish a great deal more over
time than short bursts of achievement. Short unsustained bursts are a
"rabbit-habit" not a success habit. The effect of baby steps sustained
over time far outweigh the effects of more infrequent bursts of intense
accomplishment. Consistent small baby steps are building the habits
necessary overall to succeed. The tortoise beats the hare when it comes
to success.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The #5 reason why people fail to achieve great wealth
and success is that they let setbacks along the way derail the process.
They are the MLM whiners who after 90 days in the business are ready to
quit due to some adversity on the roadway toward success. They turn
setbacks into crisis and then allow these to become their downfall.
Business, financial, or life setbacks and crises must be turned into
opportunities for growth and valor. They must be weathered. You can do
this, but it requires faith and a positive mental attitude. It requires
training. You must absorb the lesson that life is presenting to you, and
you will grow. You must realize you are on the right path. You must
learn to treat all failures as educational opportunities, and learn to
discern the messages and meanings in them. Turning your back or quitting
won't help. It simply won't fix it.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Try not to take it all too
personally. Accept the fact that these learning opportunities will come,
and develop the attitude necessary to prosper when they do. Success is
built upon a thousand foolish blunders; failures turned into experience,
fortitude, and know-how. The most successful people have also made the
most mistakes - so why should you be thinking you're different- like
you're born into special circumstances or something? I'm not trying to
scare you... I'm just trying to inoculate you a little so when the
inevitable setbacks come you're not alarmed or taken out of the game
entirely. You see the key is to grow in wisdom, independence, and
experience. Realize that when setbacks and disappointment comes it is
another benchmark, a milestone along the road to success. Learn not to
be afraid to stumble, blunder and do it again if necessary to gain
another priceless piece of the puzzle. Realize now that mistakes,
hardships, and failures are a part of the process - not the end. Don't
quit and don't whine about things, instead gain the mindset and
fortitude of a true entrepreneur. Get right down to where the rubber
meets the road and accept this philosophy as it pertains to your own
journey toward successful entrepreneurship, wealth and abundance.</b></span></div>

</h1>
<div id="article-content" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>If you find yourself going in circles and not getting anywhere
with your life, personal or business, this article will help give you
the power to break the endless loop.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Look at every part of
whatever you want to do and find the part or parts that are being done
wrong. For example, if it is your business, you would examine the
marketing, employees, pricing, production, debts, expenses, etc. If it
is personal, you could objectively review your attitude and character,
if you are open minded, and I mean really open minded, not just think
you are. Do you treat people with respect, do you think you are always
right, etc. For personal issues like this, you will need someone who
knows you to give you their opinion as yours will be flawed.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>In a
business situation, the problem is usually a combination of both a
business issue and your character. If it is an aspect of your personal
life, although the problem is found in your character, it probably is
expressed and can be found in how you work or run your business.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>It
takes beginning with an assumption that everything you are doing is
wrong. In business, accept that you are not capable nor adequately
skilled in your field, nor in how to be a true entrepreneur. You are
basically a kid who knows nothing at all. Without this sincere attitude,
you will not be able to see the objective reality.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Next, you must
be willing to take out the garbage and wash the floors or do anything
and everything that is required to run the business. That is what I did
for my stores even though I was the owner and had employees. In a
relationship, you should be happy to help in any way the other person
needs without thought, just respond immediately to any need.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>This
puts your ego in its place as a servant rather than immature master who
wants to be the boss and thinks itself more capable than it actually is,
or, above doing the dirty work. That attitude is guaranteed disaster.
Certainly, Donald Trump can be as arrogant as he wants, but he was born
into wealth. You do not have that head start and cannot afford to be
selective of your tasks.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>If you want to start a new business, you
have to do it all yourself or you will not understand it well enough to
make it succeed. When there is a problem, if you have to pay someone
else to fix it, they will not do a great job, and you will spend all
your capital, thus ending up with no money at the end of the year. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Find
something that you can do entirely on your own to build up some capital
and experience. If you cannot do it, then your first step is to learn
how, get the skill to a high level, then start the business. As the
business grows, then hire people to work for you.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Your life is in your hands, make sure they are clean and ready for hard work.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Imagine
that you are operating on your own body, which is where you live. In
this case, it is the body of your world which you are operating on, that
means your life including business and personal relationships.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Our
consciousness lives within our body. Nothing mystical or special about
it, simply the objective fact. I am conscious but I am limited and
restricted to my body. I cannot go anywhere or do anything other than
with the use of my body, so I live within my body, my body is my world.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>My
body lives within the larger body of my life. My life comprises my
home, my work, the company if I own the business, and of course, the
relationships with the people close to me.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>If I do not like
someone, and I am in a good mood but then meet with that person, all of a
sudden my mood may change. It is like going from the warm dry house out
into the snow or rain, I get wet and cold, i.e. in a negative mood. My
body has changed its physical condition based on entering the larger
body of the environment. Likewise, coming in from the cold, I enter the
body of the house and am warm and dry.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The environment, the body I
am in at the moment, can be the climate and physically felt (the body
of the planet), or emotional and mood altering (the events or people I
am with, the body of my thoughts and emotions). Of course, your mood can
be altered by the weather. All these things are the bodies your
physical body goes in and out of at all times.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I live in my
physical body and my body lives in the body of the building I am in or
the body of the world and the weather at the moment. The climate of that
building or the weather is effected by the people near me or in the
room. Thus those people make, and in a way become, the body my physical
body presently resides within.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>My mind determines what my hands do
as well as the words my mouth utters. My hands and mouth are effecting
the larger body that my physical body is in. If they are dirty, and they
ruin the business or home life, my whole life becomes infected and ill.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>This
is why I say, keep your hands and mouth clean, and you will always have
perfect health in the larger body of all the things in your life.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Consciousness
is cleanliness. Consciousness is awareness and respect. To succeed in
your life and goals, be aware, respectful and humble. This can be
summarized in one word; realistic.</b></span></div>

</h1>
<div id="article-content" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">The evolution of consciousness takes so many different forms and
shapes. Clearly there are many paths to the same place. Yet, there is
one doorway those who choose awakened living all share. Eventually, as
we unravel our resistance, and release our blocks to our own
Magnificence we find ourselves standing at the entrance to our own
hearts. And at some point, we must, walk in.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday I gave a
workshop to introduce a group of budding business owners to the
principles of Aware Entrepreneurship. For many of them the old forms of
business don't work anymore. Hard sell tactics are of no interest.
Managing with worry and fear only increases their stress and depletes
them and they know it. Putting the bottom line before personal
well-being no longer makes sense.
<br />These are people who know that they want to stay connected to their
hearts as they proceed in their work. They understand that they have
unique gifts to offer and they want to build venues for their
contributions without sacrificing their joy or their health.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">So
they are faced with a dilemma - How to build businesses that allow them
to stay connected to their essence while getting things done in the
world?
<br />In my work I help individuals and groups build a foundation for conscious enterprise beginning with this action:</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Stop the Internal Violence You Do to Your Own Self.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">The
most primary personal and professional work you can ever do for
yourself, your colleagues, clients and customers is to release any
unloving attitudes or behaviors you inflict upon your own self.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Be Kind: Replace Harshness with Tenderness</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Be Present: Cultivate Acceptance of What is Happening Right Now</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Be Inclusive: Cherish All Aspects of Your Self</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">These
may seem like little things and yet by practicing them you can change
the whole atmosphere of your life - both inside and out. Once you have
established kindness, presence and the inclusive embrace of all that you
are you will have a loving home base to work from. From here you will
find that you naturally extend the same kindness, presence and welcome
inclusiveness to those who choose your products or services. The path of
heart is the best foundation for healthy relationships. It also
contributes to the blossoming of health. It sets the stage for wealth -
and opens the door for the fulfillment of purpose.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Love is the
real force and the fuel that helps us to release struggle. The Choice to
Love - self and others and life itself! - provides us with a way to
link peaceful living with wordly success. They belong together.</span></b></div>

</h1>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What
life goals are you pursuing? Are you wanting to shed some pounds, or
perhaps wanting to lower your blood pressure, or just have fewer and
fewer headaches? Or, are you simply wanting to attain good health? Can
you see a difference?</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Look at another major area of challenge for
many folks--finances. What financial goals are you going after? Are you
wanting to get out from under all these bills that seem to come in so
frequently, or are you wanting to reduce your large mortgage or monthly
car payment? Or are you simply wanting to achieve financial
freedom-whatever definition you put on that term? Can you see the
difference?</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Yes, the differences are subtle. They are small. To
some they may seem trivial, largely semantical, and maybe even
nonsensical. But I would like to propose that the differences are huge
and will have a major impact on whether or not you ever attain your
goal.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><strong>Running From or Running To?</strong></b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>You see
in one case they are stated as what you are running from, trying to
avoid, unsatisfied with, etc. In essence, they are stated from a rather
negative point-of-view. On the other hand, the other goals are stated in
a more positive manner, i.e., what it is that you are running toward,
wanting to bring into reality.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Did you know that most people can't
answer the simple question, "What do you want in life?" They can easily
tell you what they don't want, but can't begin to tell you what they do
want. Their response to the question will always be stated in terms of
what they don't want. Isn't that sad? Where is their focus? Obviously,
it's on what they're dissatisfied with. I'm sure you've heard that what
you focus on multiplies and grows. Are you beginning to see the problem
here?</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>When defining a goal, you want the focus to be on where you
want to be rather than on where you are. Don't misunderstand me, both
are important, and a little later we'll talk more about the importance
of really getting a handle on where you currently are. But for the goal
articulation step, the focus should always be on what it is that you are
wanting to see.</b></span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I
recently was exposed to a new goal setting approach for business that
made me realize that it's not only applicable to our network marketing
business, but also to our coaching business, and to almost any other
area of our personal lives where we want to move from our current
reality to a desired future. The process is called the creative process
and has been developed over the course of several years by Robert Fritz,
widely recognized as an expert in the area of structural dynamics.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><em>Step 1</em></b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>It's
an incredibly powerful process while being amazingly simple at the same
time. You start by stating your goal or desired future. And of course,
that's what we've been talking about up until now. It must be a goal
stated in terms of what you want, not what you don't want anymore. I
won't go into it in this article, but a goal should be a <em>SMART </em>goal to be effective (SMART = Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time specific).</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><em>Step 2</em></b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Next,
you need to articulate the current reality, or where you are now, at
this moment. I believe you can see the necessity for this--for example,
if your goal is to go to Chicago, it would be helpful to know whether
you're in Virginia Beach or in Los Angeles. Otherwise you're feet might
get pretty wet. It's in this step of articulating current reality that
it's entirely appropriate to state what you want to move away from.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>In
actual point of fact, the more dissatisfied you are with your current
reality, the more power (Fritz calls it "structural tension") you will
have to move toward your goal. So there is an actual advantage in making
what you don't want sound as unlikable as you can while still being
truthful about it.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><em>Step 3</em></b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Then finally, the last
step in the creative process is to define a few action steps (along with
dates) that will move you toward where you want to be. They don't have
to be big, gargantuan steps...they could be quite simple and small
steps. An amazing fact is that, over time, the even the smallest of
steps will add up to that big gargantuan step. If you're not too sure
about what steps to take, follow the Nike commercials, "Just Do It!"
Just do something...anything. Action is the magic key to goal
attainment. Of course the action has got to be moving you in the right
direction.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><strong>Failure not Allowed</strong></b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>And that's
the beauty of the creative process. What if you find your action steps
have been taking you in the wrong direction? Simply stop doing those
action items and replace them with ones that are going in the right
direction. No failure! No condemnation! It's just a learning process.
It's growth! You've learned that what you were doing is going in the
wrong direction. Just make the change. No big deal. Isn't that simple?
And empowering?</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>All you need to add is a little support in the
form of accountability and you're off and running toward fulfillment of
another goal.

</h1>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Is
it true that you can become a necessity to other people around you?
Yes, you can become significant and enhance the lives of others. You
become an influence when you demonstrate consistently, the behavior and
skills that people admire the most. These same skills will also help you
to insure success in your life.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Key of Attitude...Enthusiasm is
contagious! Positive Attitude is the most important law in becoming
influential. It is you in every case who will determine how you will
face every day. The people around would rather associate with someone
who has a positive attitude. You will find that the most successful of
people will demonstrate an attitude that is positive.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Key of Self
Confidence...The first sixty seconds are the most critical when you meet
someone face to face. They are the most lasting impressions you will
make and critical when you are looking to be appreciated. Your ability
to clearly state your goals to others will directly affect the chances
you will have of achieving them. A successful professional will pay
close attention to their appearance and their body language. A person of
influence does not feel that they are entitle to success but are
willing to earn success by being their best.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Key of Work
Ethic...Anything worth doing is worth doing well. I'm sure you have
heard that statement before. Financial abundance is tied directly to
productivity and profit is not a "bad" word. Each if us must earn our
success and to do that each of us will keep our success by helping
others to achieve their goals. The secret to have a good work ethic is
to be who you say you are and do what you say you will do. Successful,
influential people are committed to their goals and their ethics.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Key
of Communication...You will find that the most successful people you
will meet are great communicators. All the knowledge and skill that you
acquire are not as effective if you can not communicate with others.
People will judge and evaluate you b the way they hear and see you. By
learning how to effectively communicate will help you to gain confidence
and make a good impression. If you want to achieve the goals that you
set then it is important to tell them to other people.</b></span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04758207024758638095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224120785029786951.post-63556723801799318992011-08-12T17:30:00.000-07:002012-07-16T05:59:09.830-07:00Ten Biggest Mistakes We Make When Trying to Build a Successful Career or Business and a Relationship<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>in
day by day life we face a lot of challenges. Probably the most common
of all is to build a career and to maintain your relationships with your
family and loved ones as well as finding a partner and building a life
together. These two areas are the main focus in our lives and they can
be source of lots of unhappiness or the source of true happiness. Most
of us live in some kind of a relationship. Some are real, then some are
fake and the partners are pretending that everything is alright, but
deep inside they know that this is not true and sooner or later this is
going to end. Some of you know what the problem is, some of you don't,
some try to do something about it, and some wait for the other half to
make the first step.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>One of the very common things we do is blame
others or we blame external factors for not being happy in a
relationship or for being single. The truth is that in most of the cases
the problem is YOU.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1. You, like most of us might think that
money can buy everything. Well, that might be true in some respects but
money can't replace human connections.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Well money can bring us a
whole lot of joy and happiness, and we can buy almost anything we want.
What we cannot buy is true happiness and the knowing that people around
us, especially the people who are important to us, like, accept, love
and respect us for our real value as a person and not for our
achievements like money, position or career. Another thing to think
about is, do you indeed need that much money to be happy, is that your
value at all or is it just a fake reflection of your life and a way to
please yourself and others.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>2. You may think that if you work harder and earn more money, your family or loved ones will be happier and more secure.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>This
is only half the truth, the problem in the end is that we become
absolute strangers to our children, spouses, or our boyfriend,
girlfriend and other members of the family. We work really hard to earn
more money therefore we spend less and less time with our family and
when we finally come home, we are too stressed out and too tired or even
worse, we take our work home with us. Cold hard cash can't compensate
for loneliness and feelings of abandonment.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3. You may think, " If
I work hard enough for at least 5 years, I can finally slow down and
have more time for myself and my family! "</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>When you take a
decision such as this one, and, best case scenario, your family agree
more or less with it, the question remains, how can you be sure that
this is going to happen? In today's political and economical milieu it
is really difficult to predict anything in the long run, in particular a
5 year plan in your work or business. You may have to change your
business strategy, your workplace, probably even the place where you
live, so you may find yourself with another 5 year plan before you know
it.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>4. You might think, "I can't be bothered now to build any kind
of relationships, I need to concentrate on my career, on my business,
when I'm established I will have time and money to engage in such
things."</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>It is all well and good in your early twenties, but when
you're hitting 30 and beyond, it is possibly wise to start thinking
about a relationship's long-term prospects. And you may have to consider
the possibility that you might have a self esteem problem. A
relationship does not necessarily need more money, what it needs is more
of YOU, more of your qualities as a person.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>5. "I don't care,
this is my way and I know what I'm doing! I don't need anybody or
anything now, I'm comfortable this way and to be honest I already had
some bad experience."</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Fair play if this is your way. Don't bother
if you really feel this way. It is your choice and it is alright. All of
us had bad experiences and most of us felt this way more then once. The
only difference is that we still cry and in the meantime pretend to be
what we are not, or we learn from the past and think that it may be time
we changed something and be happy in the end. You can pretend, play
games and think that you are above every little trick that you are in a
way untraceable and cool. The only question is, are you really happy and
comfortable. No hard feelings and no regrets, no self-regret and no
fear to start again and no fear to be alone.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>6. "My way or the
highway, I don't accept any compromise, any other way. I work hard and
live hard! I have heard a lot of these things before and none of them
are worth a dime. Things in life are not that easy and are not romantic.
And it has been proven that in the end money talks and the rest will
follow!"</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I agree. Why not, in the end you are the Master of your
own life, you decide on what and how, when and what, whom with and for
how long, what the rules are and what are the rewards. But you have to
bear in mind that after all this, one day you will find yourself alone,
bitter, angry, disappointed and with the feeling that nobody understands
you. You had your on way, you played by your own rules and you lived by
your own statute. And what have you achieved? What are you in the end?
Are you happy? Are you comfortable with what you have achieved? Because
if not, do you think that you will be later on? Try to answer these
questions to yourself as genuinely as you can.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>7. You may think "My family is supporting me and they always understand me no matter what."</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I
don't want to disappoint you, this might be working well in the
beginning, but after a while things start to change slowly and in almost
all cases and painfully as well. One of the problems that may arise is
that you will not receive more recognition or at least not in the way
that you might expect. What is recognition? In the end we receive
recognition when we bring good news or when we do something
extraordinary, good or useful and beneficial. The fact that you try
harder does not guarantee that you may gain in the end some kind of
recognition. You are probably not there when your family needs you, they
may need something but they don't want to bother you, you may need
something but you don't tell them because you feel in a way guilty. This
will bring the communication to an end and everybody will try to find
understanding and comfort somewhere else.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>8. Most of us think that
their family is just the same like many other families with their
struggles and fights and they survive and they are al right. Most of us
might also think that without understanding, sacrifice and compromise
what a relationship is after all. Some of us also think that without
money, love is not worth a penny.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>It is true, without sacrifice
and compromise a relationship is not going to work in the long run.
Another aspect that has to be taken into consideration as well is that
times are changing and with time the way we live our life is changing
too. We have to ask ourselves what do we consider as being a compromise
and what other values do we add to our relationship. Whatever worked for
the older generation is more then probably considered archaic and wont
work on today's generation. What yesterday was in fashion or was a
conventional fact, today is history. There are traditions and there is
progress and both aspects need to be taken into consideration.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>9.
You might think that all you need is Power, Sex, Money We all heard
these concepts of life, and mostly from men, rarely from women. If you
look closely, you realize that most "successful" people are not really
happy. They live their lives according to schedule, with when and how
they graduate, with when and how they shall be successful, with when and
how they build up their career or business, plan their marriage, their
kids, and the list goes on. This encoded life after a while becomes
boring and empty. You forget the meaning of life; you forget how to
live. This is an illusion, the illusion that with money and power you
can buy happiness, but in the meantime you live a life empty of any real
feelings, a contrived and sad existence, without the power to change.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>10. You may think that Coexistence, Sex and Love are three different things.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Most
men and women think this way and there are many reasons why. Some of
the issues are deep and painful, some of them are just little scrapes on
the surface. Life is very fragile and very short. If you are not
capable to find a partner to give you all the three above mentioned
pleasures, you will be lost in details and never be really happy. If you
want to change you can change. If you want to achieve and fulfill your
dreams you can do so. Most of your life depends on you, on your
decisions, on what energy and courage you use to be where you want to
be.</b></span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04758207024758638095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224120785029786951.post-23890280388738712252011-07-06T18:00:00.000-07:002012-07-16T06:04:09.186-07:00Taking Risks in Business and Life - A Parable<h1>
</h1>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Once there was a
man named Roy. Roy was an above-average guy, but not outrageously so.
He had a good job, a good home, plenty of friends, and he kept active
socially and through constructive projects for himself and for the
community.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>One day, Roy went to a party. He went alone, just
looking to join up with some friends and maybe make some new ones. He
poured himself a drink from the bar, and then he looked around the room
to see who was there. In the far corner, he saw a rather large group of
people listening to a man speak. His name was Chad. Roy could see from
Chad's clothes and his demeanor that he was a very successful man. He
was tan, he spoke with conviction, and he seemed to have a certain charm
about him. The men who were listening to him seemed to admire Chad like
a sports idol, and the women seemed to be fascinated by his presence
and his natural magnetism. Roy decided he would go over and listen to
what Chad had to say.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Roy quickly learned that Chad was recounting
the events of his recent vacation to the Bahamas. He'd spent a couple
of weeks there, enjoying the sun, the nightlife, and the recreational
activities. As Roy joined the group, Chad was telling them about a
particularly memorable day he had scuba diving.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>"It was the most
exhilarating experience I've ever had," Chad recalled. "Being down there
in this 3-dimensional world, and being compelled to stay keenly aware
of everything around me, including above and below. Then, sure enough,
as I was promised, a few sharks came into view. They seemed to be just
curious at first, but it didn't take long before they started coming in
for a closer look. Of course, my initial reaction was to want to
retreat, but I remembered hearing that if you act like prey, they'll
treat you like prey and attack.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>If you confront these beasts, look
them right in the eye, they're not accustomed to that, and their
aggressive instincts don't kick in. So each time I saw one approach, I'd
edge toward it, moving as little as possible, and I'd look it right in
the eye. Sure enough, it would only come so close, and then veer off and
move away! It was awesome. I started out with a bit of trepidation and
uncertainty, but that quickly turned into a sense of power as I learned
how, with a little mental discipline, I could control the situation."</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Everybody
was awestruck. You could see it in the men's eyes and in their slight
nods, sort of like subliminal high-fives, as if celebrating Chad's
manhood somehow made them a bit manlier. The women, well! The women were
all cooing and posturing, vying for Chad's attention. It was obvious
they thought he was quite a catch, and they weren't above competing for
the prize of being his prize.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Roy reacted in a much deeper way. He
realized that experiences like Chad's were exactly what were missing
from his life, and he decided then and there to do something about it.
As good as he had things, his life paled in comparison to the fullness
of Chad's, and Roy could certainly use a good confidence-builder to help
him compete in life, not to mention in the dating game, too.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>So
off to the Bahamas Roy went. He took scuba lessons and got certified for
solo dives, chartered a boat, and had the captain take him out to an
area off the coast where shark sightings were common. Roy couldn't get
underwater soon enough. This was it: adventure, excitement, and an
incredible challenge, where before there was nothing but a foolish and
empty satisfaction from bumping his head against the same ceiling of
accomplishment day after day.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>It's time to live! Roy tumbled into
the water and felt the instant weightlessness. He got his bearings and
steadied his breathing. He scanned the area in every direction, admiring
all the beauty there was to behold, but also looking deeper, searching
for those higher on the food chain than him so he could make his stand
and test himself.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>They did not disappoint. Within minutes the
first shark arrived. It swam in a meandering pattern, but Roy was not
fooled by the shark's pretense of disinterest. Slowly the shark came
closer, and when it got around 20 feet away, Roy noticed another one
coming into view from another angle. Roy's adrenaline floodgates were
bulging, but he kept himself in check, constantly scanning in all
directions for additional company.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The first shark made his way up
close to Roy, as if to verify the preliminary reports from its keen
senses, but Roy pushed his upper torso toward it and looked it right in
the eye. Sure enough, the shark veered off! It was as though the shark
was saying, "Whoa, Dude! No need to get uppity or anything!" Roy's
initial anxiety was quickly replaced by confidence, but he did not let
his guard down. He knew there was another shark close by, and now, yes, a
couple more were moving in. It took some maneuvering, but Roy managed
to get himself in position each time he saw one approach, and each time
they yielded to his assertive posture. Within minutes, Roy had
encountered 7 or 8 sharks, all of whom had backed off from their
preludes of aggression.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Roy was on top of the world. He was in
command. Still, he knew enough not to let things get out of control.
After all, who knows how many sharks could show up at once? So he eased
his way back to the boat, constantly scanning, and as he got near the
surface, one of the sharks made one last pass to test Roy's mettle. Once
again, Roy confronted the shark, and it turned and moved away. It could
have been confused or disinterested, but to Roy it was beaten, and he
was the victor.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Just then Roy felt a jolt. It shot through his
body and then was gone, but Roy knew something was very wrong. A searing
pain started to throb from what seemed to be his left foot. He felt his
heart start to pound, and he looked down in horror to see his left leg
gone from just below the knee, with the water turning red from the blood
oozing from his remaining stump.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>A shark he'd never seen had come
up from below and hit its mark. Panic set in and Roy raced for the
boat, fighting to get aboard before another shark could make a pass and
strike. Roy's head hit the surface, and he screamed at the captain to
help him in. Once aboard, the captain fashioned a tourniquet out of his
own belt, applied it, and frantically dug out his first aid kit with one
hand while he radioed for help with the other.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Weeks later, back
in his home town, Roy was adjusting well. He'd gotten quite adept at his
new style of getting around. The crutches that were once his helpers
were now his tools. He'd already begun discussions with his doctor about
options for a prosthetic device.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Roy was ambling down the street
one day, when who did he come across but Chad. Chad recognized him from a
brief conversation they'd had the night of the party, and he was
dismayed to see Roy in his condition.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>"Roy! Jesus! What happened to you?"</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>"Chad,
I heard what you said about your adventure in the Bahamas, and I saw
how everyone admired you, and honestly, I was impressed and I wanted to
emulate you. I went down there, but things didn't turn out so well. I
got bitten by one of the sharks that I went down to confront."</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>"Oh, Roy, that's terrible! I don't know what to say. Are you handling things okay?"</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>"Well,
things are getting better, but of course it's still hard. But Chad,
I've been meaning to ask you- I mean I was really careful down there,
and I didn't do anything reckless. I was just curious: how long were you
in the water when you were swimming with those sharks?"</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>"Oh, I
don't know. Around 20-25 minutes, I guess. I remember I started out with
45 minutes of air in my tank, so, well, you know how it is."</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>"Yeah,
sure, I know. But Jeez, I was only in there maybe 6 or 7 minutes and
then this had to happen. I can't believe you were able to stay down so
long and not get attacked."</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>"Well, Roy, actually, when I was down
there, I was in what they called a shark-proof cage, so I could see
everything but the sharks couldn't actually get to me."</b></span></div>

</h1>
<div id="article-content" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Being successful is what we all want in life - be it success from
our careers, our business ventures, our family life and relationships.
Of course, who does not want success in everything? We all want to find
ways to be successful in life and we are probably searching here and
there and looking at how people we considered successful strive to their
way to the top.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>We may all live different lives and we have
different abilities and purposes in life but we can probably agree on
the ways to be successful in life. These may not be a secret but
sometimes we just refuse to follow it.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Here are things that might help you embark on that road to success.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>(1)
Set a realistic goal. For sure, you will not find success if you do not
have a goal in mind. When you set your goals, you are also setting a
direction where you want to go and that will help you focus your energy,
your resources and your efforts. It can also help if you write it down.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>(2)
Visualize. Visualization is a way to train your mind to see your future
and your goals. It will help you then to motivate and focus yourself to
that goal.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>(3) Know yourself. Discover yourself. Hone your
talents and abilities and develop your potentials. Know your weaknesses
and try not to be discouraged by it but make it your challenge. Get out
of your comfort zone, take risks and do not stop learning.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>(4)
Believe in yourself. Eliminate self-self doubt and find ways to increase
self-confidence. Do not dwell on the past. Overcome anything that is
holding you back. Prepare yourself to the challenge of reaching your
goals.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>(5) Be positive. One of the best ways to be successful in
life is to stay positive. Get rid of negative thoughts. Be with positive
people. Practice positive affirmation to help you feed your mind with
positive thoughts everyday. It is on how you see things that will help
you stay positive and happy.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>(6) Exert effort. Give effort in
reaching your goals. Love what you do. If you love what you are doing,
you will not see it as hard work.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>(7) Seize opportunities.
Opportunities in life may come and go and in reaching your goals, you
need to grab opportunities that may come to you.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>(8) Don't be desperate. The more you are desperate about something, the more it will elude you.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>(9)
Learn to share and help others. It is in giving that you will receive
more. Do not forget that success is realized also because there are
people who helped and shared what they have to you.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>(10) Be grateful. If you are grateful to what you already have, life tends to give you more reasons to be grateful for.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>(11) Be patient. Success requires time and there is always the right time for everything. Persevere.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>(12) Be honest. All your efforts will be of no good if you are not honest about it.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Do
not forget too that one of the best ways to be successful in life is to
be happy. If you are not happy with anything, you are not successful
with it. Be happy while working on your goals, this will help you do
your best. Enjoy great relationships around you and do not get
distracted with things that make you unhappy.</b></span></div>

</h1>
<div id="article-content" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>In order to become successful and achieve all your dreams, you
will need to adopt these top 3 keys to success in life. For most people,
achieving great results and becoming successful in life is difficult.
Which in fact, it is not difficult at all. As long as you follow through
and apply all the knowledge you are going to learn here, you will be an
extraordinary person.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Although that being successful is easy and
simple, but many people are still struggling to get what they want in
their life, why is this so? The most common reason for this is that most
people lack the determination and commitment. Once you have these 2
forces, follow through these keys to success in life and living your
dreams will be easy for you...</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1. In order to achieve what you
want in your life, you will need to be clear of what you want to achieve
and always think about it. Do you know that the main difference between
successful people and ordinary people is in their thoughts? Successful
people think and focus on what they want all the time. They eat, sleep,
talk, breathe, and think about what they want all day long. That is why
they are able to produce the results they want. And you have to do the
same.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>2. Another one of the keys to success in life is that you
must believe that it is possible for you to accomplish great success in
your life. If you don't believe it, you will never achieve it. If you
truly believe in something, you will automatically tap into your full
potential and make things happen. This is how every successful person
sees their dreams. Thomas Edison believes that it is possible to create
light from electricity even when there is no such thing existed. Do you
believe in your dreams?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3. Last but not least, you must be willing
to spend time into learning and improving yourself all the time. Let me
ask you this question, "How can you be great in your industry?" The
answer is, learning and improving all the time. What you can do to
become the top 5% in your industry is by learning and improving
constantly. If you can spend 30 minutes into reading everyday, can you
imagine how much knowledge you are going to acquire for the next 5 to 10
years?</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Do you want to learn how to achieve success in life? This
is exactly what this article is all about. You are about to discover the
3 simple principles that you can implement to produce amazing results
and hence, be more successful in your life.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>In fact, to be
successful is not something difficult. However, it takes time and
effort. If you are willing to put in effort and do whatever it takes,
you will be able to achieve your dreams and accomplish your goals for
sure. So here are the 3 simple principles how to achieve success in life
that can help you...</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>* The first principle is to find out your passion.
What do you love to do? It is only by doing something you love, you
will be able to tap into your full potential and produce great results
from it. Some people seem to have lasting motivation and energy in their
work; this is simply because they love what they do. For them, it is
not working, it is playing. So take your time to figure out where is
your passion and do what you love all the time.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>* The second principle is to always think about what you want in your mind.
For the next 3 days, take note of the thoughts that go into your mind.
You will notice your thought pattern. What you have to do is to switch
your thought pattern and focus on thinking about the things you want in
your life. Successful people tend to think about what they want all the
time, and this is how they are able to produce the things they want in
their life. This is the most fundamental step in how to achieve success
in life.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>* Lastly, you have to commit to never ending learning and improvement.
It is only by constantly improving yourself in your field and your
personal development; you will produce greater and greater results. If
you want to be more effective in your life, learn about time management.
If you want to be successful in real estate, learn about it. If you
want to thrive in mathematics, learn more in this field. This is how
successful people become the top 5% in their industry, because they are
willing to learn.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>With these 3 simple principles how to achieve
success in life, you just need to practice them in your life for one
month, and you will see dramatic change in your life.</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Achieving success in life is a journey, full of trials and
tribulations, ups and downs, the good and the bad but most of all its
one big learning experience. When you realize that you are not the only
person who goes through bad circumstances or bad situations, things
become a bit clearer. Everybody has negative impacts of some kind in
life and that should help you realize that you are not alone in this
world. Achieving success is largely about how you respond to those
negative situations and how well you pick your self back up and continue
fighting for your dreams. It is your dreams and nobody else is going to
fight for them for you. It is up to you to define those dreams and
fight to achieve them.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><strong>Defining Your Success</strong></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Your <em>success</em>
story cannot be built by anybody else, it cannot be written by anybody
else because you are the one with the pen. You must define your own
success. Figure out what it is that you most enjoy in life, where you
see yourself years from now and what you want to accomplish in life.
These are the questions you need to ask yourself in order to define your
success. Take time out to really find out where you see your life going
and what direction you really want it to go in. Your life is much like a
game of chess, checkers or even dominoes, you have to think head of
time about what you want to achieve. Then you have to figure out how you
can achieve that within your next couple moves. When figuring out what
you want to achieve in life and what you view being successful in life
really means to you, you can then use that as your definition of
success. Once your success is defined then you make the necessary steps
to attaining that <u>success</u>.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><strong>Knowing Your Value and Purpose</strong></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Every
human being is created equally but also created uniquely as well. Do
you believe it was just by change that you were born with the qualities
you have? With the faults that you have? Or do you believe it was an
accident that you were blessed with the family you were born into? I
don't think chance or accident are words that cover my life and all the
variables in my life and I don't believe you should denounce your life
to chance or accident.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I wake up every morning and open my eyes,
breathe fresh air and I thank the Lord for waking me another morning.
After thanking God for another day I take a moment to appreciate all of
his creations, the birds, the trees, the land and the sky. All of these
things have a life of their own and they all play an integral part in
this great universe that we live in. All animals, reptiles and insects
play their part in the food chain, even when we think certain insects
may simply be useless (i.e. mosquitoes) but in the grand scheme of
things they play a part. Everything with a life force on this planet
does what it is suppose to do effortlessly and harmoniously with the
universe.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Man was made in the image of the Lord, birds weren't
made in his image, neither was any other animal but we human beings were
blessed and made in his image and placed here on Earth to rule over all
his creations. We were made the most unique and complex of all his
creations and we were made with a purpose. Everything else has a purpose
and a reason for being here and so do we, it is for us to find out what
that purpose is so that we can spend more time working to fulfill that
purpose. Once we understand our purpose, our dreams will become clearer
to us. How do you find out what your purpose in life is? You ask your
creator. Only the creator of an invention can tell you what the function
of that invention is. You are totally unique and like nothing else in
this world, so stand out to the world like that, shine the way that you
were made to shine, fulfill your purpose!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><strong>Accomplishing Your Goals</strong></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Since
you were crafted to perfection by the greatest craftsman of them all
and you were so uniquely made that there is nothing else like you on
this planet, you should believe in yourself. I mean you are unique which
makes you just as special as any other person out there. So why is it
that other people should be allowed to enjoy the benefits of being
successful and wealthy but not you?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>There is no reason why you
shouldn't be able to reap the benefits of success. You must admit to
yourself that if you are no as successful as you want to be at this very
moment you are probably doing something wrong. if you can admit that
your own way is foolish and you are no longer interesting in living how
you were living before then we can truly start to see some progress.
Accomplishing your goals is a matter of discipline and determination.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>"<strong>The reason so many people fail to achieve their goals in life is that they never really set them in the first place.</strong>" - Denis Waitley</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>You
first need to set your goals and understand the work it is going to
take to achieve those goals. Even if you have no idea what exactly you
are going to do to achieve them. Knowing what your goals are is a big
enough step at first.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>You want to set long-term goals for your
self as well as short-term goals. Long-term goals for trying to
accomplish your lifetime goals and short-term goals as progress points
and milestones to keep you focused on achieving your lifetime success.
You need to have more than just a good idea as to the amount of work
necessary to accomplishing your dreams and goals. You want to make an
effective plan. Your plan will be your blueprint to achieving success
and accomplishing your goals.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>"<strong>People don't PLAN to FAIL, they simply FAIL to PLAN.</strong>"</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Planning
is an essential part of achieving success because no business, no
corporation or no state was built without a plan. Many people have
dreams, many set goals but without a plan to execute, in order to work
towards those dreams and those goals, you merely have nothing. Action
has to be taken in order to get through your journey to success.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Have
a clear definition of what success means to you and have a clear vision
of yourself being successful. Understand how much value you offer to
this world and figure out what your purpose is and your vision of
success will become clearer. With a definition of success and a vision,
you only need to equipped yourself with a plan and take action by
executing it. Your success is only just around the bend. Learn to be
successful, live in success and empower others through your success.</b></span></div>

</h1>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>In
today's break-neck world it seems that time flies by ever faster. And,
because of the complexity of "modern life" it seems that less and less
get's done! Information overload seems to be the norm.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I remember
three years ago when I first started Marketing online the learning curve
was incredible. I know all the "Guru's" will tell you that a $47 eBook
will solve all your problems and that you'll be earning $109,247 a month
yesterday (oh, and don't forget the 4 cents on the end)...but if we are
honest you and I both know this just isn't true.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>In these
troubled economic times I am now more convinced than ever that moving
your business online is the answer. I read in the London Telegraph a few
weeks back, buried away in a corner amongst all the doom and gloom that
online sales grew by 30% in 2008.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I have a friend who works for a
major retailer. He told me that sales for his company up until the 3rd
quarter of 2008 were 9% down in the high street but 15% up online. It's
definitely the place to be.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>But...Internet marketing is like any
other business. It's exactly that, a business and not a get rich quick
scheme. You have to learn how all the various facets of Internet
marketing work. And there are plenty of different techniques and tools
that need to be learnt, in some detail, before you can guarantee your
success.</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>So, when I made "that quality decision" online was where I
was going, how did I manage to "inwardly digest" all of the information
I needed?</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Here' a few guidelines that may be able to help you
overcome that horrible feeling of information overload and the
"paralysis of analysis" that comes with it.</b></span></div>
<ol style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Pick a day that you know is going to be busy (aren't they all?) and
as you go through the day write down all of the tasks you complete and
the time taken to complete them.</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Split the tasks up into generic task groupings. So, for example,
all phone calls put in a phone calls list, all emails put in an emails
list (you should break down tasks into their most basic actions).</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Work out how much of your day was spent in each task group.</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Split your day into "micro days" based on the amount of time you need to complete each function daily.</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Make sure you enter every "to do" task in the relevant micro day.</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>If you don't complete all of the tasks in a given "micro day" the
task is held over until tomorrow. Put more urgent items at the top of
each micro day. </b></span></li>
</ol>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>One variation that I have known to be hugely successful
is to have the start of the day allocated to the day's most important
task and not to do anything else until that is complete. This also
works.</b></span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04758207024758638095noreply@blogger.com0
