When You Reach The Finishline, Start A New Race

With the year 2009 at its end, many are evaluating and re-evaluting the resolutions, progress and the accomplishments of the year gone by.  Some  entrepreneurs did not reach their goals for whatever reason.  The internet marketing business requires time and effort unlike a nine to five, brick and mortar job.  So some got a little discouraged when the economy took a nose dive and the world around them began to fray or fall apart. 

Some of us reach our goals and experienced dreams that came true.  But the buck does not stop here.  If you are in the numbers of individuals that did acquire success in your endeavors and reach your finishline, now is the time to start a new race.  On the internet as with many other types of business that delivers great success, we are always in training for the next level.  A longer race, a higher mountain, a deeper sea or whatever your heart chooses to call it.  None the less, it is not over as opposed to a new beginning.  Another step up on your staircase to success, which by the way is a journey and not a destination.  Your reached goals are a destination that take you to the next opportunity to grow. 

So with 2010 here and waiting for your next move, the first move you need to make is to determine where you want to go by New Years Eve next year.  Your goal list must include your action list.  Making a list of goals will not get you to your dreams and suitable lifestyle.  The action you take to get there is the fuel that makes your vehicle (goals) advance.  Decide how much time and money will you invest to continue training and learning the most current technology and information.  And last but not least at all, is what will your celebration look like?  I am looking forward to traveling with you on that journey for the next amazing year!

Are You Wandering Through A Jungle Of Self Sabotage

The attempts to become successful by many people tends to deflected by what is called self sabotage.  Have you ever felt like you have sabotaged yourself?  did you ever thing from time to time that you had set boobie traps that would slow you down or even bring you to a complete halt?  Chances are that have probably flattened a few of your own success tires or blown up a couple of your own financial bridges and even spread around a few rumors about yourself.

Well, it is time to put a stop to all this and catch the culprit before it gets too out of hand.  It is truely worth your effort.  so how do you do this and keep control so that your little saboteur does not run will again?  Become a person of intention and in alignment with the world around you.  Be convicted to succeed.  Use your intuition to recognize and realize when you begin to set success land mines that will throw your off your road and into a temporary ditch. 

This kind of transition does not happen all at once and will take to time to implement.  Sometime it will take quite a “wake up” call to get your attention.  it will require you to get your act together with no other choice.  You will stop looking for your someday and realize that the time is NOW. This is when you see that the dreams and efforts that you had some time ago are ready for harvest.

The secret is to get yourself to do what you you know you must do.  Now that you have been working at your “saw has been sharpened” and it is time to use it. The situation with most people is that they are busy hacking away in pursuit of their dreams with a dull axe.

The Bigger You Think The Bigger You Become

In many cases the average person tends to sell themselves short on their dreams. They do not shoot high enough to allow smaller dreams and goals to carry them to a higher level. Some may think that lots of words and phrases are a sign of a big thinker. One thing to remember is that the size of your vocabulary is not as important as what effect those words have on yours or someone else’s thinking. There are several characteristics of big thinkers. These are three characteristics to keep in mind and get you started in expanding your thinking.

Big Thinkers create positive pictures in their minds and the minds of others. Words create mind pictures. Big, positive and cheerful words will paint an amazingly bright and positive for anyone to include yourself. 

Big Thinkers make a habit of see things as they can be and not as they are. This kind of thinking adds value.  If you will see the best then it will be the best.

Big Thinkers do not let what they may not have be an obstacle. If you see yourself as a nobody, that is what you will stay. Seeing yourself as a somebody will add to you, value and soon you will feel bigger as well as think bigger.

Make it a habit to add value to everything you think and say. Always use personal compliments when addressing others. Praise is always a successful tool when adding value to another person. A big thinker will consider themselves as the member of a team reaching for a common goal. When you keep these things in mind then you are on your way to expanding the height and size of your thinking

You Can Be Right Or You Can Be Rich-But You Can’t Be Both

Ever heard this saying before?  I heard it just this weekend.  When I first heard it, I thought that it was ridiculous until I put it into action.  Most people think that being right will guarantee you success in a shot.  But that is not necessarily true.  To be succesful you have to educatable and willing to learn.  And continue to learn for the most part.  This means that you will not always be right.  But being open to improve and grow will get you to success and keep you there.  Sometimes being wrong or uneducated in a certain area, will open the door to a new learning experience and an opportunity to grow to higher heights.

Without tools in you toolbox you can not build a foundation let alone a structure of any strength.  The Virtual Learning Place is one of many places you can go to learn from the best of the best.  Reading books like The Hidden Secret To Think and Grow Rich is an amazing book that puts into practice the principles learned in the book of the same name.  The point is that you have to continue to water the seeds you plant in order for them to grow.  Knowledge in the water that gives life to your dreams and goals.  When you stop watering them they will die.  So, as the saying goes, you can be right or you can be rich but you can’t be both.

One Little Step Goes A Long Way

 

I recently decided to take over the managing of my entertainment/inspirations website.  what a challenge that has been.  But…I have accomplished small steps to share with you my big dream.  So for all who fear the power of the internet, have nn fear.  With a little pure stubborn and determination, creating and managing a website is not as difficult as it had originally seemed.  On the site, I share with you a small shopping area with a few of the sayings and quotes that I have put on photos which I have taken over the years that inspired me to take the next step forward despite any of the obstacles I have encountered.  I have also gone into the recording studio to record a beautiful song which is now available on CD and will soon be available on mp3 download.

Build Big Dreams, It’s The Essence Of Your Success.

I am sure you have heard the saying “If you are going to dream, dream big”.  Well, the fact of the matter is that this statment is true.  Yes, smaller dreams are easier to accomplish but image what you will experience when you have huge dreams and live the smaller dreams you started with along the way.  I’m sure you have also heard the saying, “If you shoot for the stars, You just may reach the moon”.  It is true!  When you shoot farther that you can image you open up a whole new energy in what you can imagine.

The bigger the dreams, the more the attraction to fulfill those dreams.  And what a wonderful way to travel down your success road living a lifestyle created by the smaller dreams that are fulfilled along the way.  Most people will dream to just get by and get the bills paid.  Have you notice that is all they get in return.  They get just enough to get the bills paid and get by.  Don’t you think it is time to reach beyond what you can see and set your sights on what lies in the distance for you to have.  It is the number one principle in building and creating you business and your life.
