Who are you listening to?

If you want to become successful who would you listen to? Would you listen to your neighbor who works at Walmart as a cashier? Would you listen to someone who is a plumber?

When many people hear you are working in marketing or MLM they quickly and freely give you advice. Yet they themselves have either never tried it or they have tried and failed at it. Does failing at a business mean that the business is bad? Not always, it can mean that the person who failed didn't have what it takes. They didn't put forth the necessary effort.

To become successful you would listen to someone who is already successful right? It just makes sense. They will teach you the steps to success. It's up to you at that point to follow them.

If you were trying to reach a certain destination and didn't have clear instructions on how to arrive there, you might stop and ask someone who knew the way. They would more than likely point you in the RIGHT direction, and even maybe help you find a FASTER route. If you were in Cleveland and need to find a certain place, you wouldn't ask another person visiting Cleveland right? Who would you ask? A resident of course, someone who knew their way around very well in that area.

When you want to know your way around very well in Marketing, you wouldn't ask someone new to it. You'd ask someone who dwells in it consistently and has been in it for awhile. Because they know it well, they can point you in the RIGHT direction and help you find a FASTER route to success.

I'll see you at the top!
This is so true.

Believe in yourself

Dream what you want to dream; Go where you want to go;
Be what you want to be; because you have only one life
and one chance to do all the things you want in life!

Whatever you achieve or fail to accomplish in your lifetime,
is directly related to what YOU do.
Nobody chooses their parents or their childhood,
but you can and must choose your own direction in life.
Everyone has problems and obstacles to overcome,
but how you handle them is what will set you apart from losers.
You can change anything in your life,
IF you want it enough to do "whatever it takes."
Excuses come from the mindset of losers;
Those who take responsibility for their actions are the real winners.
Winners meet life's challenges with their eyes wide open
knowing there are no guarantees of success, but always aiming towards their goals.
Don't ever think it's too early or too late to decide to go after your lifelong dreams.
Time plays no favorites and will pass you by whether you choose to act or not.
Take control of your life. Dare to dream, set goals and take risks......
You must be willing to consistently pursue your goals to attain them.
Most importantly,
Set your standards high, You deserve the best.
Go after what it is that you want. Never settle for less.
Believe in yourself, No matter what goals you choose.
Keep a winning attitude, "Never Give Up", and you won't lose

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!

Is your vision a heart-centered one?

We are often mistaken into believing that it is something else we want. We join schemes, ventures and programs each time with a lot of excitement. We become sold because we hear that our neighbor, friend or a celebrity participated.

Not wanting to lose out, we invest money, time and effort…..until the moment - which usually does not take very long to happen - when our excitement fizzles out.

Then, we realize that perhaps, we are not that interested after all.

We have a ton of reasons why this is so: not cut out to do sales, do not like the product, do not like the management, no more interest and so on.

We lament, haw and hum until the next shiny object comes along.

And the cycle repeats.

Not that there is anything wrong with going on a search per se.

It is all part of the learning process.

Because by knowing what we do not want, we become more certain of what we do want.

Then again, we can go on looking for years and not find anything meaningful that we really want to do.

To your success

Change your life

Don’t live in “No Man’s Land,” that place where you’re not really happy, but you’re not unhappy enough to do anything about it. Don’t passively accept what comes your way; drive your life toward what you really want.

See things as they are, not worse. Then see it better than it is, and then make it the way you see it.

Don’t avoid failure. Failure is necessary for real learning to occur. Overcoming obstacles gives us psychological strength—the very thing that forms character.

Don’t focus only on achievement. Extraordinary accomplishment does not guarantee joy, happiness, love and a sense of meaning. You must also focus on fulfillment.

Decide what you will no longer stand for and what you’re committed to. Clarity is power.

Take massive action. You have to be willing to do the things you don’t want to do. You have to build a momentum that consistent action produces.

Notice what’s working and what’s not working. When it is not working, change your approach. Keep changing until you finally achieve what you are committed to.

THE RISK-TAKERS: THE HISTORY MAKERS.

  Risk-takers are those who do not care of laying their lives in the race of success. They are ready to give up their last breath in other to achieve a goal or to make an impact. Risk-takers are those who never give up in searching and finding treasures, no matter how the devil may quakes and aches. Treasures are hidden in the secret places, only the risk-taker find it.
   
 Leo F. Buscaglia says, “The person who risk nothing does nothing has nothing is nothing and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simple cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live”

    Risk-takers are who are not fearful of every uncertainty; they take chances and gamble in hope of winning. The vision of the destiny maker lies in the risk he takes to create harmony in the life of each and every individual.

    Risk taker does not fear. Fear and doubt keep us from taking risk. They’re the two worst enemy of success of a great dreamer.
    Why are we so afraid of taking risk? Why are we not willing to leave the well-trodden path and do something that challenges us? The one that sleep too much will be poor. Wake up and do some good no two ways to success. Your success and history shall be determined by the product from the amount of input of risk that you take. Risk taker may not be a gain seeker but a history maker. 
   
What you should do is be willing to make mistake, anything you will ever do in life is risky. If you are not making mistake you are not going anywhere. Making mistake is part of taking risk and it is part of growing.
   
 A very nature of life requires risk taking. A small child would never learn to walk or talk without taking risk. You just have to hold unconventional position. Never be afraid to take on challenge. It take faith to make a strong man and fear to make a weak man. Always keep focused on your dreams and do something that force you to stretch well in all your pursuit.
   
Risk is the possibility of incurring loss or misfortune, so to be alive at all involves some risk. All exploration all growth is calculated. Calculating risk is where potential downside is limited but potential upside is unlimited. The pursuit of a desire will brings it reality the more you dig for treasure the more you’ll encounter.
    Learn to take risk with action. Action virtual for self-confidence.

What does it takes to Succeed?

What does it take to succeed? A positive attitude? Well, sure, but that’s hardly enough. The Law of Attraction? The Secret? These ideas might act as spurs to action, but without the action itself, they don’t do much. Success, however it’s defined, takes action, and taking good and appropriate action takes skills. Some of these skills (not enough, though) are taught in school (not well enough, either), others are taught on the job, and still others we learn from general life experience. Below is a list of general skills that will help anyone get ahead in practically any field, from running a company to running a gardening club. Of course, there are skills specific to each field as well – but my concern here is with the skills that translate across disciplines, the ones that can be learned by anyone in any position. 1. Public Speaking The ability to speak clearly, persuasively, and forcefully in front of an audience – whether an audience of 1 or of thousands – is one of the most important skills anyone can develop. People who are effective speakers come across as more comfortable with themselves, more confident, and more attractive to be around. Being able to speak effectively means you can sell anything – products, of course, but also ideas, ideologies, worldviews. And yourself – which means more opportunities for career advancement, bigger clients, or business funding. 2. Writing Writing well offers many of the same advantages that speaking well offers: good writers are better at selling products, ideas, and themselves than poor writers. Learning to write well involves not just mastery of grammar but the development of the ability to organize one’s thoughts into a coherent form and target it to an audience in the most effective way possible. Given the huge amount of text generated by almost every transaction – from court briefs and legislation running into the thousands of pages to those foot-long receipts you get when you buy gum these days – a person who is a master of the written word can expect doors to open in just about every field. 3. Self-Management If success depends on effective action, effective action depends on the ability to focus your attention where it is needed most, when it is needed most. Strong organizational skills, effective productivity habits, and a strong sense of discipline are needed to keep yourself on track. 4. Networking Networking is not only for finding jobs or clients. In an economy dominated by ideas and innovation, networking creates the channel through which ideas flow and in which new ideas are created. A large network, carefully cultivated, ties one into not just a body of people but a body of relationships, and those relationships are more than just the sum of their parts. The interactions those relationships make possible give rise to innovation and creativity – and provide the support to nurture new ideas until they can be realized. 5. Critical Thinking We are exposed to hundreds, if not thousands, of times more information on a daily basis than our great-grandparents were. Being able to evaluate that information, sort the potentially valuable from the trivial, analyze its relevance and meaning, and relate it to other information is crucial – and woefully under-taught. Good critical thinking skills immediately distinguish you from the mass of people these days. 6. Decision-Making The bridge that leads from analysis to action is effective decision-making – knowing what to do based on the information available. While not being critical can be dangerous, so too can over-analyzing, or waiting for more information before making a decision. Being able to take in the scene and respond quickly and effectively is what separates the doers from the wannabes. 7. Math You don’t have to be able to integrate polynomials to be successful. However, the ability to quickly work with figures in your head, to make rough but fairly accurate estimates, and to understand things like compound interest and basic statistics gives you a big lead on most people. All of these skills will help you to analyze data more effectively – and more quickly – and to make better decisions based on it. 8. Research Nobody can be expected to know everything, or even a tiny fraction of everything. Even within your field, chances are there’s far more that you don’t know than you do know. You don’t have to know everything – but you should be able to quickly and painlessly find out what you need to know. That means learning to use the Internet effectively, learning to use a library, learning to read productively, and learning how to leverage your network of contacts – and what kinds of research are going to work best in any given situation. 9. Relaxation Stress will not only kill you, it leads to poor decision-making, poor thinking, and poor socialization. So be failing to relax, you knock out at least three of the skills in this list – and really more. Plus, working yourself to death in order to keep up, and not having any time to enjoy the fruits of your work, isn’t really “success”. It’s obsession. Being able to face even the most pressing crises with your wits about you and in the most productive way is possibly the most important thing on this list. 10. Basic Accounting It is a simple fact in our society that money is necessary. Even the simple pleasures in life, like hugging your child, ultimately need money – or you’re not going to survive to hug for very long. Knowing how to track and record your expenses and income is important just to survive, let alone to thrive. But more than that, the principles of accounting apply more widely to things like tracking the time you spend on a project or determining whether the value of an action outweighs the costs in money, time, and effort. It’s a shame that basic accounting isn’t a required part of the core K-12 curriculum.
