SUCCESS IS ON YOUR SPHERE

You can start at anytime if you want to be successful.

But you have to start.

You won't accomplish anything if you wait
for all the possible objections to be overcome.
Taking a new step, uttering a new word,

is what people fear most. Don't be afraid to live.

Don't wait for things to change. Don't wait until you have more time, until you are less tired, until you get the promotion,

until you settle down, until, until, until.

Don't wait for a major event in your life to occur before you begin to live. Begin where you are.

Work where you are. The hour you are wasting now,

dreaming of some far off success, is crowded with tremendous possibilities. When you take the first step, your mind will mobilize all its forces to assist you. Once you have started, all that is within and around you will come to your assistance.

The only way to start down the road to success is to start.

"Set Your Goals"

Set your goal, go like google

Is your goal big enough? Is it possible that you have set your career sights far too low? After studying many of the world’s most successful businesswoman and men, it was found that a common thread in all their stories – they all had inspiring visions and dared to dream big.

In the mid-nineties, two scruffy college students in Stanford University named Larry Page and Sergey Brin had a dream of organizing all the world’s information and making it universally accessible. What was born out of their small dorm room in Stanford is an internet search engine they called GOOGLE. Brin and Page have now employed more than 10 000 people worldwide in a research company. Millward Brown puts Google at number one in an annual top 100 global brand power list for the second year in a row. Their dream is now worth an estimated R688 Billion, affording them a personal wealth of R37 Billion each.

Frances Hodgson Burnett said, “At first people refused to believe that a strange new thing can be done, and then they begin to hope it can be done, them they see it can be done, then it is done, and all the world wonders why it was not done centuries ago.” Dreaming big is a prerequisite if you want to shift the world around you. It was our elder statesman Nelson Mandela who said, “there is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” Outlined below are four key values necessary for the accomplishing the dream you have for your personal brand.

1. Intention – it is the setting of an intention that will call in wonder resources, opportunities and people. What do you intend to do, create or accomplish? You also want to have deeper, meaningful intentions about how you live.

2. Integrity – if you were to survey big dreamers on the qualities that they value most, at the top of the list is usually integrity. Keeping your word and delivering on your promises is essential.

3. Do Something – it is essential that you put everything you have learned into an action plan. Without action, we are just dreamers. Taking action and working hard gives you brand power.

4. Build you dream team – once you know what you want to accomplish, develop a team of supporters. Begin with one person who believes in you and your dream and then seek out others. Make sure these team members are clear about your strengths and weaknesses and are prepared to support.

Irrespective of your current plight in life, cultivate a dream large enough to inspire passion and go make it happen. Stay blessed!!

Reasons You're Not Rich

10 (More) Reasons You're Not Rich

Many people assume they aren't rich because they don't earn enough money. If I only earned a little more, I could save and invest better, they say.

The problem with that theory is they were probably making exactly the same argument before their last several raises. Becoming a millionaire has less to do with how much you make, it's how you treat money in your daily life.

• A Defensive Strategy That Works • 2 Simple Steps to Future Wealth • We All Just Learned an Expensive Lesson

The list of reasons you may not be rich doesn't end at 10.

Caring what your neighbors think, not being patient, having bad habits, not having goals, not being prepared, trying to make a quick buck, relying on others to handle your money, investing in things you don't understand, being financially afraid and ignoring your finances.

Here are 10 more possible reasons you aren't rich:

You care what your car looks like:

A car is a means of transportation to get from one place to another, but many people don't view it that way. Instead, they consider it a reflection of themselves and spend money every two years or so to impress others instead of driving the car for its entire useful life and investing the money saved.

You feel entitlement:

If you believe you deserve to live a certain lifestyle, have certain things and spend a certain amount before you have earned to live that way, you will have to borrow money. That large chunk of debt will keep you from building wealth.

You lack diversification:

There is a reason one of the oldest pieces of financial advice is to not keep all your eggs in a single basket. Having a diversified investment portfolio makes it much less likely that wealth will suddenly disappear.

You started too late: The magic of compound interest works best over long periods of time. If you find you're always saying there will be time to save and invest in a couple more years, you'll wake up one day to find retirement is just around the corner and there is still nothing in your retirement account.

You don't do what you enjoy:

While your job doesn't necessarily need to be your dream job, you need to enjoy it. If you choose a job you don't like just for the money, you'll likely spend all that extra cash trying to relieve the stress of doing work you hate.

You don't like to learn:

You may have assumed that once you graduated from college, there was no need to study or learn. That attitude might be enough to get you your first job or keep you employed, but it will never make you rich. A willingness to learn to improve your career and finances are essential if you want to eventually become wealthy.

You buy things you don't use:

Take a look around your house, in the closets, basement, attic and garage and see if there are a lot of things you haven't used in the past year. If there are, chances are that all those things you purchased were wasted money that could have been used to increase your net worth.

You don't understand value:

You buy things for any number of reasons besides the value that the purchase brings to you.

This is not limited to those who feel the need to buy the most expensive items, but can also apply to those who always purchase the cheapest goods. Rarely are either the best value, and it's only when you learn to purchase good value that you have money left over to invest for your future.

Your house is too big:

When you buy a house that is bigger than you can afford or need, you end up spending extra money on longer debt payments, increased taxes, higher upkeep and more things to fill it. Some people will try to argue that the increased value of the house makes it a good investment, but the truth is that unless you are willing to downgrade your living standards, which most people are not, it will never be a liquid asset or money that you can ever use and enjoy.

You fail to take advantage of opportunities:

There has probably been more than one occasion where you heard about someone who has made it big and thought to yourself, "I could have thought of that." There are plenty of opportunities if you have the will and determination to keep your eyes open.

Challenges come along inevitably: how you respond to them determines who you are - deep down inside - and everything you're going to be.

Realize that you are capable of working miracles of your own making. Remember that opportunities have a reason for knocking on your door, and the right ones are there for the taking.

You don't always have to win, but you do need to know what it takes to be a winner.
It's up to you to find the key that unlocks the door to a more fulfilling life.

"You Can Do Anything just keep believing that you can"

"You Can Do Anything You Believe You Can"

Just start somewhere. Resolve to do something.You might even write out what you want to accomplish. Then explore what you need to do to reach you goal, and start doing it, step by step.

It's the same as if you were planning a trip: you get a map, make your preparations, and then start traveling the right road. Don't get "bound up" in any problems that stand in your way. Do something every day to resolve them. Trust your instincts. Do one thing at a time.

Remember... if you sow seeds of fear, doubt, panic,and procrastination, it will most likely work against you. If you keep doing the same things you're doing now, you will keep ending up in similar places to where you are now.

Once you start making progress towards your goal,you will be magically propelled towards eventual reward. Just keep listening and taking direction from inside you. Be patient; your dreams will not come true overnight.

But start now, and go with love and courage and confidence. Don't be afraid.You can do anything you believe you can. And don't forget to keep an open mind and heart to check yourself along the way.

You can do it! Go for it, and good luck.

"Effective ways pursuing your goals in life"

"Seven Ways to Boost the Power of Your Goals"



Using Intuition to Conceive and Achieve Your Dreams," on how to boost the power of your goals. Again, my only advice is to say that if this stuff makes you crazier, go for a walk instead
(which is what I had to do for a long while).

But if you want to get serious about some goals, her seven ways to get started may be helpful:

1. Picture Your Goal Often

Imagine yourself in the goal state. Add details to your image of the goal. The more clear and positive your picture is of you being in the goal-state, the more compelling and powerful your goal will be.

2. Accomplish Goals Through Small Steps

Suppose your car has a dead battery and you must push it to get it started. The greatest effort to get the car moving is the first push. This is when you break the inertia and move the car from rest to motion. Once moving, it takes much less effort to keep the car moving.
If you're like many people, you often have trouble getting started moving toward your goal. The problem is inertia. You are a body at rest! You must break the inertia to get moving.

3. Take Small Steps

Set the objective for a small improvement over a short time period.
Begin at your current level of performance with the first objective, the proceed in small steps. Ask yourself for small improvements only.

It's similar to practicing yoga. In yoga, you assume a posture that you can do without undo strain, then you stretch a little bit. You don't demand too much or try to force yourself into a position.

Don't set yourself up to fail by demanding enormous changes.

4. Set Yourself Up to Win

Set yourself up to succeed.
Your small step should be only as big as what you know you can achieve with relative ease.
If the goal is something difficult because it is distasteful or involves an entrenched habit, then shorten the time frame of the objective.

For example, suppose you want to stop smoking. If, for your first objective, you demand that you will chew gum every time you feel like smoking for a month, you are likely to fail. Chances for success are better if you make the first objective for one day instead. When you meet that objective, set another one for a slightly longer period of time.

5. Get Into Motion

The objective helps you get started and creates momentum. Once you've broken the inertia of a bad habit you have also started to develop a winner's attitude, which will help you to succeed.

6. Slowly Stretch Your Abilities

Don't worry about the steps being too small. No step is too small as long as there is some stretch and some movement. Remember the inertia principle: A body in motion will tend to stay in motion. Use small steps to keep yourself in motion toward your goal.

7. Make Getting There Fun

People often equate self-management or self-discipline with austerity--sacrifice and withholding of pleasures. Such an approach is a mistake and will undermine your success.

Grease the skids of change with fun. Enjoyment of a task lessens the toil.Consider physical exercising. Doing jumping jacks and running in place isn't much fun. By comparison, playing tennis with a friend is more fun. And it provides a good workout. With this in mind, think of ways you can build fun into the process of achieving your goals.

Confessions of an Infovore

In one of my more carefree moments the other day, I decided I must be an infovore: someone who devours information on all sorts of subjects. That's why I'd memorised the HP sauce bottle label when I was 5 years old.

That's why I've got a dozen different books on my bookshelf waiting to be read and I'm currently reading at least three. That's why I seem to have done so many courses, and learnt so much 'stuff' - and yet I'm still hungry for more.I know you'll have done the same - attended courses, read books, learnt through experience, listened to leaders and mentors.

But what good is all that knowledge if we don't make use of it though? So I am challenging myself right now to make use of what I know for sure - to use it, to teach it, to challenge it. To find out if it actually WORKS.

I certainly don't know it all (sorry to disillusion anyone) but I know enough to make a start. The same applies for us reaching our goals and achieving our life purpose. We don't know it all, and we don't know exactly where we'll finish - all we need to know is the first thing to do. Martin Luther King said:“Take the first step in faith.

You don’t need to take the whole staircase, just take the first step”.Or, as Mark Joyner puts it "You don't need to get it right, you just need to get it going".

I got really excited the other day when one of my friends came up to me and said she'd applied for a new job - she had no idea if she would get it, and knew it was a stretch for her to grow into the demands of the new role - but she knew that she had to take a step in faith and see what happened.

So here's my challenge to you this time: what do you want to get started? What is it that you're putting off because you're not quite ready yet: "I just need to do one more course" or "I'll do it when I've saved enough money" or "I'll do it when the children are older" or "I'll do it when work calms down a bit" or.. or..Take the first step.

That might be gathering some information, or talking to someone about it. It might mean writing a letter, doing some searching on the internet, or talking to your boss.

It might be as simple as writing an action plan, or just writing out what your dream is.

Whatever your goal or your dream is, there will be one simple step that will take you forward today. And here's the thing - having taken that one step, you will find that the next step follows naturally and easily.That's what I did when developing my products - I took the first step.

For my book, I started to write down how much I had learnt through coaching and building my business - from the mistakes I had made, from the school of tough knocks - and from the successes I had had too. The same with my hypnotherapy CD series - I started by writing some real goals for the programme - what I wanted to help people with. After I'd started, the rest was easy.

I found a great way to publish these. I've found some people to joint venture with to promote them. So would you do this for me today?

Simply take ten minutes to think about your biggest dream. It will be easy to find it - in fact, it's probably the one that's just leapt into your thoughts right now!

Then decide what the next step is for you to reach that dream... and then, either today or tomorrow.. BEGIN!

As you dare to take that first step in faith, you'll find that the next step becomes clear - and then the next step. And what's more, each individual step becomes easier.As Goethe says "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now."A book recommendation for you: "The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity" by Catherine Ponder.

It's an incredible book on how to attract the life that you want, the prosperity that you want, the relationships that you want - and how to enjoy life while you do it. The original was written in the sixties when

Catherine was widowed with a young son. Some of the stories of manifesting miracles are fabulous. Read it with an open mind, start to put some of the lessons into practice, and see what happens!

Impossible is Just a Word

Everyone, at some point of his or her life, has dreamed of being somebody special, somebody big. Who hasn't fantasized about being the one who hits the game-winning homer? Who hasn't dreamed of being the homecoming queen? And how many times have we dreamed of being rich, or successful, or happy with our relationships?Often, we dream big dreams and have great aspirations. Unfortunately, our dreams remain just that – dreams. And our aspirations easily collect dust in our attic.

This is a sad turn of events in our life. Instead of experiencing exciting adventures in self actualization, we get caught up in the humdrum of living from day-to-day just barely existing.

But you know what? Life could be so much better, if only we learned to aim higher.

The most common problem to setting goals is the word impossible. Most people get hung up thinking I can't do this. It's too hard. It's too impossible. No one can do this.

However, if everyone thought that, there would be no inventions, no innovations, and no breakthroughs in human accomplishment.Remember that scientists were baffled when they took a look at the humble bumblebee.

Theoretically, they said, it was impossible for the bumblebee to fly. Unfortunately for the bumble, bee no one has told it so. So fly it does.

On the other hand, some people suffer from dreaming totally outrageous dreams and not acting on them.

The result? Broken dreams, and tattered aspirations. If you limit yourself with self-doubt, and self-limiting assumptions, you will never be able to break past what you deem impossible.

If you reach too far out into the sky without working towards your goal, you will find yourself clinging on to the impossible dream.

Try this exercise. Take a piece of paper and write down some goals in your life.

Under one header, list down things ‘you know you can do’.

Under another header, write the things ‘you might be able to do.’

And under one more, list the things that that are ‘impossible for you to do.’

Now look at all the headers strive every day to accomplish the goals that are under things ‘you know you can do’.

Check them when you are able to accomplish them. As you slowly are able to check all of your goals under that heading, try accomplishing the goals under the other header-the one that reads ‘you might be able to do.’As of the items you wrote under things I could do are accomplished, you can move the goals that are under things that are ‘impossible for you to do’ to the list of things ‘you might be able to do.’As you iterate through this process, you will find out that the goals you thought were impossible become easier to accomplish.

And the impossible begin to seem possible after all.

You see, the technique here is not to limit your imagination.

It is to aim high, and start working towards that goal little by little.

However, it also is unwise to set a goal that is truly unrealistic.

Those who just dream towards a goal without working hard end up disappointed and disillusioned.On the other hand, if you told someone a hundred years ago that it was possible for man to be on the moon, they would laugh at you.

If you had told them that you could send mail from here to the other side of the world in a few seconds, they would say you were out of your mind. But, through sheer desire and perseverance, these impossible dreams are now realities.

Thomas Edison once said that genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.

Nothing could be truer. For one to accomplish his or her dreams, there has to be had work and discipline. But take note that that 1% has to be a think-big dream, and not some easily accomplished one.Ask any gym rat and he or she will tell you that there can be no gains unless you are put out of your comfort zone.

Remember the saying, “No pain, no gain”?

That is as true as it can be.So dream on, friend! Don’t get caught up with your perceived limitations.

Think big and work hard to attain those dreams. As you step up the ladder of progress, you will just about find out that the impossible has just become a little bit more possible.
