Something's holding these people back. Bob misses the deadline for handing in his term paper and has to repeat the course the following semester. Kathy fills her garage with so many boxes and junk that she can't park her car in it. Anthony keeps postponing taking the test that will allow him to practice medicine in California, and Beverly postpones finding an office for her new business. What do these four people have in common? "That's easy," you may think. "They are ... more...

I woke up early this morning and checked my email. I always get these "How to Get Rich" messages. You know, the ones that tell you if you enroll in their program for only $30 a month you'll learn the secrets of the masters. After wading through tons of stuff about SEO's, autoresponders, and affiliate programs, it hit me that you really only need to do two things to be really successful. The first one should be obvious. It's deceptively simple, but it'... more...

You know it's true. You've seen it in those you admire, and in those you pity. If you could hear the conversations in their heads, you can bet they'd be drastically different from each other. It's like they travel in opposite directions. But there's more. Your thoughts create your reality. All philosophies and religions teach this one basic truth. You become what you think about most of the time. My friend Jim always had the worst luck with women. It ... more...

Setting goals and achieving them are two different things. If you truly want success in your life, especially financial success, you must learn from those who have come before you. Success leaves clues, so be willing to spend a few minutes each day reading articles and books written by financially successful men and women, and listening to audio recordings and interviews from those who are living the lifestyle you want to live. By making a serious study of the people whose lives and finan... more...

I got high a couple days ago. No, it didn't involve Colombian herbs, bongs, or the munchies. I didn't sit and stare at my hand for 20 minutes. But I felt like I could do anything. Let me explain. My wife and I took one of our cars to a local dealership to sell it. When we stepped onto the lot, I immediately felt defensive. I've seen places like this before, and if you're not careful, these shifty-eyed piranhas will eat you alive. But I was shocked . . .more...

You may have set goals, you may have taken action. You may want to be rich, famous or whatever, you want.

Private Kirk seemed like the last person you'd want in your army. He was overweight and out of shape. He smelled. The kind of guy other guys like to poke fun at. Not what I expected to see at US Army Basic Training. It took my friends and me by surprise when our drill sergeant named Private Kirk as our squad leader. Heck, lots of guys in our squad were more qualified. Did the sergeant see something in Kirk that we didn't? We soon learned the logic. The first ... more...

Sir Edmund Hillary did something huge. He climbed Mt. Everest. In fact, he was the first person in history to do so. Imagine for a moment, a reporter waiting at the bottom of Everest when Hillary finished. The interview might go something like this . . . "Sir Hillary! How did you do such a thing? Many people tried to do what you've just done and most have died. Why did you succeed when nobody else could?" Hillary scratches his head. "Well, I was just w... more...

You've heard it before. "Success is a state of mind". Some may argue that success is a result of luck, while others profess it to be the result of the careful planning, preparation and of course, focused action. Yes, the latter is somewhat true but you will also see that there are some exceptions to this rule. How often have you heard of two people attempting the same objective only to have one of them succeed? Have you ever wondered why this is so? Perhaps it is luck, or tim... more...
