Discipline and Loyalty

We live in a world where these two great words -- discipline and loyalty are becoming meaningless. Does this mean that they are worthless? The exact opposite, they are becoming priceless qualities because they are so hard to develop in the first place. And should you be one of the fortunate few who has caught the vision, your battle has just begun because the greatest battle is to keep consistent and true when people are slipping around us in all areas of life.

Discipline is that great quality few people use that enables them to be constructively busy all the time. Even in discouragement and defeat, discipline will rescue you and bring you to a new place to keep constructively busy while you forget about doubt, worry and self-pity. If only we all would realize the absolute necessity of discipline and the amounts of success can be obtained by growing this trait.

Most people think that loyalty is to a thing or to a person when actually it is really to one's own self. Some think that it is to a goal or an objective, but again it is to one's own convictions. What are your goals, what are your dreams, who did you promise to remain solid to through thick and thin. In the end these were all goals and promises about your life. If loyalty has to be earned then it is deserved and is solid, more than emotional based on a temporary feeling. Loyalty is the character of a person who has given himself the task before him and he will always realize that out of a loyal heart will bring all areas of success and growth.

You Are The Doctor

Three Keys to Building Relationships
Top sales professionals see themselves as "Doctors of Selling." They see themselves as professionals, well educated, acting in their "patient's" best interest, and bound by a high code of ethics. The medical process is the same everywhere. Whenever you go to any doctor, of any kind, for any condition, he will follow the three part sequence of examination, diagnosis and prescription.

Begin With a Thorough Examination
Just as a medical professional would never think of treating you without following these three steps in order, you as a doctor of selling, would never allow a customer to force you to sell without your going through your three stages as well. This is as applicable to non-profits, merchants, customers, and new affiliates. In the examination phase, you ask excellent questions, carefully prepared, in sequence, which are geared to give you a thorough knowledge of the patient's condition, or the prospect's situation.

Diagnose the Customer's Need Accurately
The second phase is that of diagnosis. In the diagnosis phase with a prospect, you would repeat back the results of your examination and double check to be sure that the symptoms that you had detected were the real symptoms being experienced by the patient. You would ask additional questions to confirm and corroborate. You and the patient would mutually agree that this diagnosis seems to be an accurate description of the condition or problem.

Make the Right Prescription
Once this mutual agreement has been reached, that a treatable condition exists and that you have identified it accurately, you can move on to phase three. This is the prescription phase, where you show the patient (customer) that our company is the best available treatment, taking all the factors of the patient's situation into consideration for the ailment that you have diagnosed. You show that, on balance, what you are suggesting is the best of all possible solutions. Professionals who sell in the way that doctors treat patients find that their sales activities proceed far more smoothly and result in better sales in less time.

Adaptability

It is important that you learn to vary your presentation, to vary your pace, to vary your language based on the type of people you are speaking to.

I mean, if you're calling on somebody who's a bottom-line, time-disciplined, fact-oriented, busy, results-oriented individual, are you going to go in, spend ten or fifteen minutes "chit-chatting" or socializing trying to get to know that person? Obviously not!

If you're calling on somebody who is a very friendly, outgoing person who likes to talk about sports and family and just various things about business and wants to get to know somebody first and you walk in and bottom-line everything with little or no social talk, do you think that might irritate that person? Definitely!

Therefore, you have to size people up and get on their wavelength to create chemistry so that person will say, "Hey, you're the type of person I want to do deal with on a long-term basis." This whole approach is called adaptability - your ability to change your approach, to change your strategy, depending on the situation or the person you are dealing with. That's how you really connect with people quicker, deeper, and longer.

Hanging Lake

You can learn a lot about life by hiking in the mountains. I recently hiked the Hanging Lake trail in the rugged Hanging Lake wilderness area. Hanging lake is a small lake that sits between two high mountain peaks at about 9000 feet. The path begins as an easy, relatively flat stroll through a beautiful pine forest. After about 10 minutes, however, it turns right and heads up a narrow, steep canyon just under 3 miles to the lake. The trail is steep and rocky, rising over 2700 feet.


As I hiked up the path, I was struck with the many similarities between a mountain hike and our journey to success. Here are a few simple lessons we can learn:


Plan ahead. When you are on a trail, you become more conscious of your footing. I noticed that my eyes typically rested at a point in the trail about 13 steps ahead of my feet. In other words, my eyes viewed the terrain ahead and sent signals to my brain telling my feet exactly where to step for the next 13 steps! I was amazed that my brain could keep track of so much information and future planning, without taking a misstep. Your brain is your most valuable asset. You can use it to look ahead and plan your goals and activities much farther in the future than you might think.


When you encounter obstacles, pay attention and adjust. When the trail became steep and rocky, my eyes focused much closer, 3 or 4 steps ahead. Sometimes I had to stop altogether to make sure I was on the right path, or to climb over a large bolder. Similarly, on our path to success, we will encounter obstacles. This is the time to pay close attention to what we are doing and make adjustments when necessary. Your finest moments will probably not happen when things are sailing smoothly, but when you appropriately handle a difficult challenge.


Goals keep you going when you're tired. Near the top of my journey, I began breathing harder and harder as the altitude and strain began to get the better of me. I noticed that my rest stops became more frequent and many times I considered turning around and calling it a day. But I kept thinking about the lake. I had never seen Hanging lake and I was anticipating a spectacular view at the top. I had also told several others that I was hiking to Hanging lake. I couldn't imagine facing them and admitting that I had turned around without seeing the lake. So I kept moving until I reached the top. That is the power of a well-set goal. It keeps you going when you want to quit.


Everyone moves at their own pace. Several times on the trail, I passed people who were moving more slowly. Others, who hiked much more rapidly than I, passed me. But, ALL of those who persisted, eventually reached the top. So it is in life: our speed is not as important as our direction.


You reach your objective by taking one step after another. After enjoying the beautiful lake and magnificent vista at the top, I began my decent. I could see the end of the canyon far below, and was amazed at how far and high I had traveled to arrive at my destination. How had I accomplished such an amazing feat, I asked myself. The answer, of course, is: one step at a time. That is how anything worthwhile in life is accomplished. Often we become daunted by the enormity of the task at hand. Forget about that and just take a step, and then another. Just keep moving and, before you know it, you will look back and be amazed at your progress.

Trust In Your Ability...and Don't Waver

When he was two years old, this adopted child of two college professors suddenly and inexplicably stopped growing, and his health started to fail. A team of doctors gave him six months to live after they diagnosed him as suffering from a rare disease that inhibits digestion and nutrients in food. Intravenous feedings of vitamins and supplements allowed him to regain his strength, but his growth was permanently stunted.

Confined to hospitals for long periods of time, until the age of nine, he quietly plotted his revenge on the kids who taunted him and called him "peanut."He recalled many years later that subconsciously "the whole experience made me want to succeed at something athletic." Sometimes his sister, Susan, went ice skating at the local rink, and he would go along to watch. There he stood, a frail, undergrown kid, with a feeding tube inserted through his nose and down into his stomach. When he wasn't using it, one end of the tube was taped behind his ear.

One day, as he watched his sister whirl around the ice, he turned to his parents and said, "You know, I think I'd like to try ice skating." Talk about two adults, looking at their life-threatened child, with glances that were beyond belief! Well, he tried it and he loved it, and he went at it with a passion. Here was something fun at which he could excel, where height and weight weren't important. During his medical checkup the following year, the doctors were startled to discover that he had actually started growing again. It was too late for him to reach normal size, but neither he nor his family cared. He was recovering and succeeding. He believed in his dream, although he had little else to hang on to. None of the kids taunt him and tease him today. Instead, they all cheer and rush to get his autograph. He has just completed another dazzling performance on the world professional ice skating tour, with a long string of triple jumps, complicated maneuvers, and athletic moves, capped off with a racing front flip that brought him to a sudden stop inches from the audience. Although he has retired from professional skating, he remains a coach, mentor and commentator revered by everyone in winter sports.

At five feet three inches and 115 pounds of pure muscle and electrifying energy, former Olympic gold medal figure skating champion, Scott Hamilton stands as tall and as proud as any winner. Scott's size didn't limit his faith and reach. Don't let doubts and critics limit yours. This doesn't mean that you'll close almost every sale or get promoted in record time. Scott Hamilton certainly didn't hit every triple-axle jump he ever attempted, especially during the initial learning phase. Success in developing any skill requires a basic trust in your ability that should never be allowed to waver.

LIVE WITH PASSION

Success-Progressive steps towards a worthwhile goal.

Most people don't stick with it long enough to attain their goals.

Certainty. Know where you are going so firmly that people start to take you seriously. People don't question someone as often that has certainty. Focus on the little successes so that certainty gets built up over time.

The opposite of courage is conformity. Why are most people trying to act like everyone else when stats show the majority is financially frustrated.

Most are yearning for some coaching and don't have it. You and I can introduce them to OurGV and change lives. It may take years of learning to fuel you forever, and to the point that you can power up others. Make sure to feed your mind, heart, and soul with that stuff that will help us. We become what we think about.

Something that creeps into your mind that is negative just let it roll out as fast as it came in.

If I could share one thing with you it would be the mentality of gratefulness. Be thankful for the breath you have. Feelings of gratitude help attract more into your life. It allows you not to take the things, people, and lives we all now have.

Passion fuels everything. LIVE WITH PASSION!!!

Are you the Red Cross?

We often need to re-commit to the game. We often get excited about the game of life then when we find out it's tough we wimper away backwards. We often look to the outside for the secrets but they are really internal. When I really committed to myself and not blaming others is when success started coming into my life. In the book "Think and Grow" it talks about perseverance until success and then you'll get it so fast and seemingly effortlessly you'll wonder where it had been hiding. That is exactly what happened to me. I just needed to get to the law of compounding where other people's efforts started to compound my income. To deserve those great people I had to grow myself. I had to ask myself some tough question and forge through with the answer not taking the easy way out. I wasn't dis-couraged anymore and started working in my courage. Most of us know what we need to do but we don't act in our true courage to do those things.

I stopped giving power to my past and started to focus on the potential of my present and future. Again...My courage was coming out. I started not living out of pure motivation and working out of the ease of who I am really capable of being. I stopped "trying" to make myself a success and started loving living out of the best I could be in the present moment. I allowed myself to have fun in the business. A relaxed intensity with love pouring out from me.

I knew that regardless of product I had to learn how to connect with people. I had to connect to help them which in turn would help me. People know that I can empathsize with their problems but not to the point where they become my own. That allows us both to know that I can tell them how I see it and the ways to fix it. I am not the Red Cross, I am there to help people help themselves not to do it for them.

More heart than talent!!

Easy to do...Easy not to

People often ask me how I became successful in that five-year period of time while many of the people I knew did not. The answer is simple: The things I found to be easy to do, they found to be easy not to do. I found it easy to set the goals that could change my life. They found it easy not to. I found it easy to read the books that could affect my thinking and my ideas. They found that easy not to. I found it easy to attend the classes and the seminars, and to get around other successful people. They said it probably really wouldn't matter. If I had to sum it up, I would say what I found to be easy to do, they found to be easy not to do. Five years later, I was a millionaire and they are all still blaming the economy, the government, and company policies, yet they neglected to do the basic, easy things.

You are going to be somewhere five years from now. You can find it easy to go to trainings, or not. Easy to do your goal sheets every night, or not. Easy to get your numbers up, or not. Easy to study the coaching site, or not. Five years from now will come one way or the other. Why would some not do well and others have more success than they could've dreamed of.

In fact, the primary reason most people are not doing as well as they could and should, can be summed up in a single word: neglect.

It is not the lack of money - banks are full of money. It is not the lack of opportunity - America, and much of the free World, continues to offer the most unprecedented and abundant opportunities in the last six thousand years of recorded history. It is not the lack of books – libraries are full of books - and they are free! It is not the schools - the classrooms are full of good teachers. We have plenty of ministers, leaders, counselors and advisors.

Everything we would ever need to become rich and powerful and sophisticated is within our reach. The major reason that so few take advantage of all that we have is simply neglect.

Neglect is like an infection. Left unchecked it will spread throughout our entire system of disciplines and eventually lead to a complete breakdown of a potentially joy-filled and prosperous human life. Not doing the things we know we should do causes us to feel guilty and guilt leads to an erosion of self-confidence. As our self-confidence diminishes, so does the level of our activity. And as our activity diminishes, our results inevitably decline. And as our results suffer, our attitude begins to weaken. And as our attitude begins the slow shift from positive to negative, our self-confidence diminishes even more... and on and on it goes.

Why not do what we should do which will cause us to feel more deserving, thus raising our self-confidence. As our self-confidence improves, so does the level of our activity. And as our activity increases, or results will inevitably go up. As our results improve, our attitude soars even higher. As our attitude changes from the negative to the positive, our self-confidence will go up even more....and on and on it goes!!!!!

So my suggestion is that when giving the choice of "easy to" and "easy not to" that you do not neglect to do the simple, basic, "easy"; but potentially life-changing activities and disciplines.

Courage

One way to get the courage to begin, from which everything else flows, is to plan and prepare thoroughly in advance. Set clear goals or objectives; then gather information. Read and research the site and materials. Write out detailed plans of action, and take the first step. Keep consistent with the goal sheets.

The second kind of courage is the courage to endure, to persist, to stay at it once you have begun. Persistence is a form of courageous patience, and it is one of the rarest types of courage. Courageous patience is the ability to stand firm after you have taken action and before you get any feedback or results from your action. When you plan your work and work your plan through with persistence, even in the face of disappointment and unexpected setbacks, you will build and develop the quality of courage within you.

The third type of courage is the courage to conquer worry — a form of negative goal setting. When you worry, you are dwelling upon, talking about, and vividly imagining exactly what you don’t want to happen. The great tragedy is that even if the situation you are worrying about does not materialize, your health and your emotions will suffer just the same. And the fact is that most of the things that people worry about never happen.

The only real antidote to worry is purposeful action toward a predetermined goal or solution. When you get by doing something to resolve your problem, you will not have the time or the mental capacity to worry. And before you know it, your worrisome situation will have been resolved.

Shake It Up

1. Be open to opportunity. We've been programmed to be closed. That there is a certain way to do things. We have to be open to busting out of that norm. The more you are open to who can join your business the more you will attempt to share it with them. Keep aggressive, see the opportunity everywhere. There is no way to tell how many non-profits, merchants, and other affiliates a person may be able to refer you to. The key to us is not whether they are there or not but whether we are open to the opportunities that are standing right in front of us on a daily basis.

Write down who you surround yourself with and then write down the character traits they have. Does this help us or harm us? Most likely we have to cut back some of the relationships that are not contributing to our success.

2. Fear of rejection. There is so much inside of you but it won't come out by your successes but rather from attempting, often failing, and growing forward by what you've learned. With that in mind we must embrace rejection as another step in our journey upwards. The worst thing that could happen by you attempting to recruit someone who says no is that they don't work in your team. Aren't they already not in your team? What is the best thing that could happen?

3. Power of delayed gratification. We need to develop our long-term vision. We are playing for the big rewards at the end of the game. We can set up smaller rewards along the way but must keep in mind when we are truly looking for the payoff. Most of us get frustrated fast because we want to be gratified now. That is a flaw in our thinking and actually pulling us off the success path we need to be on to climb to where we'd love to be. We will climb higher by our consistent healthy attitude helping us earn more. This attitude is found in a state of gratitude and optimism. I'm sure we can all see that feeling frustrated because we are not getting gratified now and to the levels we'd like would only cause us to ruin the gains we are trying to make each moment.

4. Invest more in your business. How you may ask? Look carefully what you put your money into now. Write it down each day and see where you can save money from doing dumb things.

5. Look at the qualities of those you admire and work on developing those qualities in yourself. We will attract who we are. Keep the repetition of your concepts and attitudes. As soon as your people copy those mannerisms is when you've said them enough. First you must have them in you. It may feel wierd to use others as role models but it will feel more comfortable as you do it more.

2 keys

Your Emotions Are Contagious
The first power you can develop is enthusiasm. The more excited you are about accomplishing something that is important to you, the more excited others will be about helping you to do it. The fact is that emotions are contagious. The more passion you have for your life and your activities, the more charisma you will possess, and the more cooperation you will gain from others. Every great man or woman has been totally committed to a noble cause and, as a result, has attracted the support and encouragement of others in many cases, thousands or millions of others. How consistently passionate are you?

Be an expert asap
The second personality power that you can develop is expertise, or competence. The more knowledgeable you are perceived to be in the business, the more charisma you will have among those who respect and admire that knowledge because of the impact it can have on their lives. This is also the power of excellence, of being recognized by others as an outstanding performer in OurGV. Men and women who do their jobs extremely well and who are recognized for the quality of their work are those who naturally attract the help and support of others. They have charisma.

Hit Those Goals

We need to be aware of where we are in relation to our goals. Look at your short term goals. If you have not quite hit them for the week how should you be working compared to if they were already accomplished? How would you want your team to work in that given situation?

We need to manage ourselves first before we can hope to have someone else even work with us.

We need a vision first of where we want to be in our lives. A goal becomes a vision with a date on it. When we find ourself falling off the pathway of our goals we need to get back to the joy of our vision. What does that feel like to have that vision come true? What would that vision mean to others? Really remind yourself of the benefits for accomplishing your vision. That is the way to recommit and continue on the path. We can go up and down but we must continue to rise over the long term. It is a lot easier to stay on the path if we have a more detailed plan. Maybe we are a little too loose which helps us forget. Especially at the beginning until better habits are formed we need to immerse ourselves and be soooo detailed that it's hard to do fall off.

Again...the reason this is so important is because if we can not manage ourselves we will not be able to help someone else. If we can't help someone else that is why they are not in our team.

We often pick a time to get a goal accomplished and it doesn't happen. Don't worry every goal and idea has a gestation period. Maybe it just takes longer than you had planned. When does a flower bloom? All things have sowing periods before we reap. We all have been discouraged by missing goals and had to forge on keeping our attitudes up. Again remind yourself what you'd want your team to do if they were in that given situation. If you don't have a team it's probably because you are not managing yourself first.

To be interesting to other people be interested in them. Give to them in heart, love, listening, and anything else you can.

Reward yourself along the way in proportion to the accomplishment.

The Law Of Abundance

The Law of Abundance- there is ample money for everyone who knows how to acquire it and keep it. We live in an abundant universe in which there is sufficient money for all who really want it and are willing obey the laws governing its acquisition.

You Can Have All You Want
There is plenty of money available to you. There is no real shortage. You can have virtually all you really want and need. We live in a generous universe and we are surrounded on all sides by blessings and opportunities to acquire all we truly desire. Your attitude, of either abundance or scarcity toward money, will have a major impact on whether you become rich or not.

Make a Decision
The first corollary of the Law of Abundance says that, “People become wealthy because they decide to become wealthy.” They become wealthy because they believe they have the ability to become wealthy. Because they believe this completely, they act accordingly. They consistently take the necessary actions that turn their beliefs into realities. And you can always tell what your beliefs really are by looking at your actions. There is no other way. The second corollary of this law says: “People are poor because they have not yet decided to become rich.”

Examine Your Own Thinking
In the book, The Instant Millionaire, by Mark Fisher, the old millionaire asks the boy who has sought his advice about becoming a millionaire, “Why aren’t you rich already?” This is an important question to ask yourself. However you answer this question will reveal a lot about yourself. Your answers will expose your self-limiting beliefs, your doubts, your fears, your excuses, your rationalizations and your justifications.

Review Your Reasons
Why aren’t you rich already? Write down all the reasons you can think of. Go over your answers one by one with someone who knows you well and ask them for their opinion. You may be surprised to find that your reasons are mostly excuses that you have fallen in love with. Whatever your reasons or excuses, you can now get rid of them. The world is full of hundreds and thousands of people who have had far more difficulties to overcome than you could ever imagine, and they’ve gone on to be successful anyway. So can you.

If you don't like change you won't like being left in the dust even more.

If It Is To Be It Is Up To Me

One of the first things successful people realize is the old adage, "if it is to be, it is up to me." That is, for you, the fact that your success and your course is up to you. This doesn't mean that you do it all alone. It simply means that you take responsibility for your life and your career.Too many people today look at opportunity and figure it is up to someone else to make sure they get it. They look at financial security and hope that the government will make sure they live safely in retirement or in case of disability. They wait and wait, figuring that it is up to someone else. And then the wait is over, and it is too late to do anything. Their life is over and they are filled with regret.

This isn't true for you however. You know that you must take responsibility for your life. It is up to you.The fact is that nobody else is going to do it for you. You must do it yourself.

Now, some people may say, "That's a lot of responsibility." Friends, that is the best news you can ever hear. You get to choose your life. Hundreds of millions of people all around this world would give anything to live in the situation you do just for the chance to have the opportunity to take control of their destiny. "It is up to you" is a great blessing!

Here's why:

1. You get to chart your own destiny. Maybe you want to have a net worth of $100 million. That's okay too. The idea is that you get to choose. You can do whatever you like. Different people have different dreams and they should live them accordingly.

2. You can reap what you sow. Sleep in and go to work late and reap the return. Or get up early and outwork the others and earn a greater return. Place your capital at risk and earn a return or place it at greater risk and perhaps reap a greater return. You decide what you will sow and thus what you will reap.

3. No one else can stop you from getting your dream. Yes, there will always be things that come up and people who may not like what you are doing, but you can just move on and chart your own course. There is great freedom in that.

4. You experience the joy of self-determination. There is no greater pride than knowing you set your mind on something and accomplished it. Those who live with a victim mentality never get to experience the joy of accomplishment because they are always waiting for someone else to come to the rescue. Those who take responsibility get to live the joy of seeing a job well done.

Let me ask you a question: Where will you be in 5 years? 10 years? Or 25 years? Do you know? Do you have an idea? Have you ever dreamed about it or set a goal for it? Are you willing to take responsibility and recognize that, "It is up to you?"

You will be wherever you decide to be in those timeframes. You decide. It is up to you.

And that is very exciting!

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill.

When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh.

When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns.

And many a fellow turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out.

Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man.

Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup.

And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.

And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar.

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

WHEN YOU KNOW BETTER YOU DO BETTER-MAYA ANGELOU

Work on the cause

The law of cause and effect. Everything happens for a reason. If you can define an effect that you want you can trace it back to causes that helped create that effect.

To be happy we need a sense of control and a sense of things fitting together. So when I studied how to be successful at home business I knew it would take a great amount of work but I was very happy and inspired because I knew it was in my control and how it would work.

People have followed the same plan and they are not as sharp as you but they have achieved results. We will too. Most people fail the first time and give up. That's why people don't make it.

I learned to become a self-made millionaire I'd have to be totally different than I was at the time. To attain different results we have to be totally different than what we have become thus far. I would have to become a better person. That ended up being more gratifying than the money.

1. Skills are learnable. If you can learn to drive a car you can learn this.

2. You are one skill away from doubling your income. You can do it.

Scale of 1-10 how are you on these:
1. Ability to dream big dreams. Projecting forward what a perfect life with no limitations would look like. Make a dream list. Run wild with it.

2. Do you connect the work you are doing now to the excitement and joy of creating your dreams? All action are steps towards your dream we should be able to recognize that.

3. Commit to excellence. All people who are successful are excellent at what they do. They did not start that way they paid the price and sacrificed to get there. Everyone who you see doing well was once at the very bottom like you may feel. Mastery in a given field usually takes 5-7 years. Time is going to pass anyways, where would you like to be. No one is smarter or better than you.

4. See yourself as self-employed. As in charge of your own life. You are responsible for your success. The most valuable people in any company take their work as it is theirs and they are responsible. The cream will rise to the top.

5. Develop a clear sense of direction. Become extremely goal oriented. You can't hit a target that doesn't exist. Know what you want and the plan to get it. Know what it is going to take in order to make that plan come true. You've paid the price to get you where you are now. We have to pay the price in full and must pay it in advance. Think of your top 10 goals. Which one if it could be accomplished within 24 hours would be most important to you. If it could be done in 24 hours it would show that it was the most important to you short term. You won't actually be able to get it done in 24 hours but it allows you to see which is most important short term so you can focus. Take that goal and do everything possible to hit it working on it everyday. What do you need to do to get that goal done? Write all the ideas down. Get up to 20 different ideas for this one goal. Take action on those ideas.

6. Refuse to think about failure. The fear of failure is the greatest obstacle to success. It's not failure itself, it's the fear of failure. Failure itself makes you smarter and better. There is no failure only feedback. Most things have a learning curve and the better the skill the longer it will take to pay the price to attain it. Eventually you'll do more and more things right and less wrong. But you will only get to that point from doing tons wrong and taking that feedback as lessons on how to do it better. Failures blame others and complain.

7. Dedicate yourself to life long learning. The only thing that is necessary for our success is our continuing education. If you are not getting better these days we are getting worse. Read this blog, watch the videos, study yourself with your goal sheets, attend all trainings possible. You can never tell where the keys to your success are going to come from so you have to be ready. The more you commit to becoming the best person you can be the more you will like yourself. Your self-esteem will go up.

8. Develop a workaholic mentality. It's loser mentality to focus on relaxing before you've made it.
