Word Cloud Succeed with Tunnel Vision

Careful with getting lost amidst too many ideas or methods or opportunities - pick one and stick to it with tunnel vision! And do not deviate until you get results, which could be positive or failure, but walk the full distance - don't get off the success bus after one or a couple of stops.

Be in Business to Succeed

A human mind thrives the best in a challenging environment!

There are people who will sit and fantasize about all sorts of ideas and possibilities yet do nothing about it because there always seems to be one or more reasons why it is not a good idea to start with this or with that. As a consequence of such lifestyle friends and/or family discuss all sorts of topics over the course of years, however, in the end, nothing has changed, nothing has started and life is as life was - dreaming about things. That way is NOT the "way of the samurai" :)

The best way in business is to BE IN BUSINESS! 

That means start your activity, get it moving and on your way you will stumble upon other opportunities, directly or indirectly connected to your original idea, which you would have never even thought of before, because you were not in business. There is nowhere written that you must sell antique tables all your life if that was your original idea. Most likely while doing that business you would encounter many other opportunities which are possibly far more lucrative than your original idea. Or you can discover that building luxury huts on islands is the way to continue and you would stop completely your original tables idea and move to some remote dream location and start building huts! You never know until you are in business!

Adapting as you go

In the video below you will see a very nice explanation how you start with one idea and then something else comes your way (while you are in business - not on your sofa watching TV) and maybe you start with that and then maybe yet another opportunity comes which is even more interesting.

There are many roads to success and, I repeat, nowhere does it state that you absolutely have to do something specific your entire life. You are a human, you are a hugely advanced creature with unlimited potential - do not restrict yourself in anti-creative boxes.

Another Success Path Variation:

There are infinite variations of paths leading to success. Here is another one where you start well and are growing very good, but then something happens and your business or project encounters huge problems and nearly collapses, but you do not give up, you keep on fighting and eventually you discover a way to solve the problems and with your experience you establish a more efficient way forward. 

Don't waste too much time talking and dreaming!
Start your business or project!
Keep yourself updated! Keep up with competition! See what they are doing and learn from them!
And new opportunities will open up to you - the best way to reach success is to be in business!

Word Cloud Being bad at Something

Resist Complaining & Negativity

Inspirational stories and ideas make people move. Likewise, negative ones bring your energy down!

It is often easier said than done "stay away from negative people". In real life there can be cases where for whatever reason you cannot do that. It could be a member of your family who is always negative, but you care for him or her and want to help or it could be a close friend who has saved your life or gotten you out of trouble so you feel grateful and you will never abandon him or her.

Whatever the case, these do exist and thus this post to bring it to your attention. The way complaining or constantly talking and discussion about problems works is in a very subtle and invisible way. It is sort of similar to someone pulling petrol out of a car. You can be sitting and listening to problems and complains and then your friend or family would leave your house and you might find yourself not feeling like working or thinking about their problems. But just 1 hour ago you were going full speed on your project and now that motivation or muse has just disappeared and you are back on Earth.

Be mindful of this effect. It is not for nothing that people say that you must surround yourself with inspirational, smart and energetic people who are full of love and passion and action. In a group like this it is almost impossible not to reach success. However, like I mentioned, it is not always possible to completely eliminate negativity and so there is only one weapon that you have that can counter this effect and this weapon is called DISCIPLINE!

• Get back on your project!
• Remember your goals!
• Remember what you are fighting for and where you want to get to!
• Watch whatever inspirational videos you love if that helps!

But whatever you do enforce DISCIPLE in order to achieve success. No matter how you feel get back on the path, get back to your work and for the future, if possible, either limit the amount of contact you have t have with this person or persons or find a way to turn your conversations into constructive and positive conversations. After all, I like to think that everyone wants to be successful, so see if you can think of a way to turn your complaining friend or family into talking about an interesting project, no matter how small it is!

Resist the effect of complaints and negativity!
Remember your path!
Be strong and disciplined!
Fight for success!

Word Cloud Knowledge is Success

Start Early Start Young (with VIDEO)

The sooner you start the sooner you will get there!

In this nice and brief video Robert Kiyosaki urges young people, based on his success, based on his experience, to avoid getting to the the trap of the corporate world. His message in this specific speech is to start young, stay determined and keep pushing for success.

And you will fail! but failure is not an end point - it is just one or more events which happen to you on your way to success. So do not get discouraged, get motivated, get moving and start your own business today! :)

Word Cloud Success vs. Comfort

Avoid the Comfort Zone Trap

Comfort zone trap has many shapes and forms and it is something that a lot of people fall into never realizing that they are damaging their future success. But what do I mean by a "comfort zone trap"?

• Do you know everything or most things about your job and you feel confident, you can answer any question? Then you are in the comfort zone trap and you need to get out.

• Do you stay where you are because you know everyone and everyone respects you and you are happy that people come up to you, show you respect and ask your advice? Then quite likely you are in the trap and you are afraid to go out after opportunities because in new places nobody will give you that level of respect.

• Do you stay in your job because it is secure and allows you to pay your bills and you avoid going out there and taking risks? Then you are in your comfort zone and quite likely you are missing out on opportunities due to fear holding you where you are.

Do you remember when you first started a job, be it at an employer or your own projects? Everything was unknown and you had to learn new things and make connections with new people and perhaps at the beginning you got weaker scores or evaluations as you did not know everything well. But this is exactly the most useful period for yourself as you develop and grow the fastest in this kind of an environment. You learn new things, you force your brain to develop and make new neural connections and similar with people, you encounter new personalities, new difficulties, which you must learn to overcome.

That is where you want to be. You do not want to be in your comfort zone!

In your comfort zone you know your job well and so you might catch yourself needing coffee. People often look for stimulants if their tasks are boring. And when are the tasks boring? This is when you know exactly what you are doing, when you will be finished and what will be the outcome. And you can only know those pieces of information if you are in your comfort zone. So avoid it like the plague!

The unknown is scary and things can definitely go very wrong, but I am not recommending you to blindly jump. What do entrepreneurs do? They look for all possible ways to reduce risk. So do your homework, analyze your situation and take all the necessary steps to make your landing as soft as possible. This could mean saving some money or getting a new job before you quit your current one or making a new consulting contract before your quit your job or developing something on the side up to the point where it starts bringing you money before you plunge into the unknown.

Avoid the comfort zone like the plague - do not fall into its trap! Force yourself to constantly develop and grow and reach success!

Having a Rewarding Life Purpose (with VIDEO)

Without a purpose, without making someone's life better, one cannot completely satisfy one's soul.

In the below video by Adam Leipzig we learn 5 important questions which we can ask ourselves to reveal our purpose and to make us see clearly if we are on the right path or not or to reveal to ourselves our life purpose. These questions are:

• Who are you?
• What do you do?
• Who do you do it for?
• What those people want or need?
• How they change as a result?

And then you can turn this into a full sentence which gives you your life purpose. Here are 3 examples which he gives:

• I write books for children, so they can fall asleep at night, so they can have awesome dreams.
• I design apperel for men and women who need affordable choices so they can look and feel their best.
• I train entrepreneurs and creative people to make decisive actions so they can get their greatest work into the world.

And so when someone asks you what do you do for a living don't answer the traditional way, but give the answer which you said for the last question. So for example:

• I give kids awesome dreams.
• I make people look and feel their best.
• I help people bring out the best within them.

As a result, people will most likely be surprised and ask you how do you do that and then you can have a very interesting conversation, which is on a totally different level than "i am a doctor and you are a bus driver".

I find this simple exercise rather useful, because often we do things just for money or we don't even think who's lives we will improve through our work. And it is clear that with money you can buy things, but it is something intangible like this which will fill up your soul.

Do you do something to make someone's life better even in a small way?

VIDEO: You are the average of the 5 closest people to you

"Surround yourself with the people who inspire possibility!"

because...

You are the average of the 5 closest people to you!

Your  environment, your surroundings, also matter greatly in order to achieve success!

Stop thinking that something that you  are passionate about is not possible and start thinking about how is it possible that you are not following your passion!

VIDEO: Success Advice by Arnold Schwarzenegger

Short video but a very nice video in which Arnold talks about the importance of having a very clear goal which gives you strength and determination to go through many hours of difficulties, which you would never normally accomplish without a goal.

Secondly, another important aspect he points out to believe in yourself, because you will always have a lot of people around you telling you that you cannot accomplish this or that, but you have to strongly believe in yourself and keep fighting for your goals.

Overcoming Boredom for Success

"I've had enough!", "OMG I can't take it anymore", "I need a break!"...

These and so many other similar thoughts ram into your brain to fight what the body and mind perceives to be a meaningless idiocy, i.e. some administrative jobs that you just have to do like filling in dozens of forms or applications or data collection or consecutive hours of programming something mundane.

Basically, on our road to success we have all sorts of uninteresting / boring jobs to do, which can either be repetition of something over and over again or it can be many tasks which are simply time consuming but have no challenge in them and therefore completely uninteresting for your brain.

The way our society, laws, structures are setup - these things just have to be done. No discussion. But because they can be so tedious and can consume hours and hours of your time many people will succumb to the pressure from the body and mind to stop and do something else or to postpone to another time or another day.

You must resist that temptation at all costs! Don't delay what has to be done no matter how boring it is. Keep telling yourself that this needs to be done. Remind yourself of your goal, of why you are doing what you are doing. Remind yourself regularly, even every minute if you have to, that this is just a temporary inconvenience or pain, it is not forever, and it is absolutely needed to come closer to your dreams, to your goals, to achieve success.

The more resistance your body and mind give you during your work, even more counter-pressure you must apply back to stay on the right path. This is a war! Your body only thinks to have pleasure all the time, your mind always wants to do something fun or pleasant, which might all be perfect if we live some day in paradise, but again, in the current social structure these things cannot be satisfied. You must fight back and tell yourself even louder that whatever you are doing might not be pleasant, might not be challenging, but it just needs to be completed so you can move on to the next step.

Do not succumb to the pressure of your body and mind to quit your task. Get it done! Keep reminding yourself why it must be done!

Repetition to Success

You know a way to make a 10 bucks? Then do that twice you got 20 bucks! Repeat again you got 40! Repeat your way into Success!

Yes the first impression you might get here is one of boredom, but there is power in repetition! And you might even have a very inefficient method - actually it is very likely as you are learning you will have a hugely inefficient structure or method. But if you know a way that you can earn anything at all, then you pretty much can make your way into millions using the simple power of repetition!

And it does not have to be boring at all, because you will start seeing results of your work which is very motivating. I remember when I earned my first 2 cents, which was after many hours of my own time investment - I was so happy! Then over time these 2 cents turn into bigger and bigger amounts simply by repeating the steps which got you these in the first place.

One awesome consequence of this is that it might indeed start slow and build over time, but since you most likely have lots of room for improvement then once you start doing optimizations your revenue can climb a lot more higher since you have already built the base.

So do not underestimate the power of repetition. There are many success stories online of people who make great earnings using repetition alone - for example article writers, designers, game platforms, affiliate businesses and so much more. And it is not limited to online whatsoever - actually it started offline, that's what branching out is or franchising. McDonalds, for example, is simply copy pasting its success in one location to multiple locations all over the globe.

Pick anything where you can earn any amount no matter how inefficient and just keep repeating and growing your wealth! Later improve process efficiency.

Succeed with Tunnel Vision

If you run around trying to see or do everything, you very likely will neither truly understand nor accomplish anything at all!

In this aspect people can be divided into 2 types: the type that wants to relax and enjoy the "as it is" situation and the type that want to grow further, swim deeper, fly higher, and reach higher and higher levels of success. In this post I talk about a particular problem of the success driven type of people, which is being curious or being confronted with with too many interesting ideas or proposals.

It could be a Youtube video, it could be a discussion with friends or reading an interesting article, but the success driven people always encounter new opportunities, which can be new methods or developments in their current field of expertise or something totally different which is very promising and interesting. And it is very difficult to resist opportunities, so often people try to take on board far more than is good for them.

So you want to launch a new website and write a new book and open a new company and optimize the profitability of your current company and hire new people and, and, and... you get my drift.

No matter how highly we might think of ourselves, we do have limits and we better recognize them. It is absolutely without a question that a person 100% concentrated on a particular job will be far more successful in solving whatever problem or making whatever progress. Yes, I know, exceptions do exist, but we are talking about the 99% of the cases.

So the lesson is, if you want to be successful, pick a method, pick a path and stick to it to the end. Give it your 100% dedication and only once the proper effort has been invested, only at that time make a judgement about that path and if, at that time, you decide that the return you got was not good enough, fine, then go try a different path, but first focus on what you research, calculate and believe is the best path at that particular moment and do not allow yourself to be excited about other projects and starting spending time on totally different things.

Pick one path, method, thing
Get it done with 100% dedication
Do not fall off your path on impulse excitement of something new that came your way
Keep your focus! Keep your concentration to succeed!

Beware of Age Learning Blocks

I know it all; Don't tell me what to do; That's too difficult; I can't be bothered to learn something new.

Beware of your own self. As you grow older there can be tendencies to block the learning process. I have seen it many times myself in other people and even in myself - the difference is I am aware of myself and I am aware of this problem, so I do not allow myself to go down this path and I want to advise you the same.

The "I know it all" block to success

Often it is the case that people learn something and then years down the road they are still preaching those statistics or knowledge in a sort of a "I know it all / there is nothing in this topic I need to learn" attitude. There are a number of problems with this.

• Firstly, sciences and all areas of knowledge evolve over time. Older experiments, studies, etc, are proved wrong all the time, so it can easily be that what you had learned many years back no longer is true.
• Secondly, I know for a fact that when people do try to learn something they do far too little research and do not really learn the whole story or all the facts and therefore they make conclusions based on few variables and end up with wrong knowledge.
• Thirdly - arrogance. "I know it all" tends to shine the brightest in front of younger people or people less experienced or people of the opposite gender. 

Regardless of the factor, be aware of this issue, we all have it inside us to a lesser or greater degree and therefore do not destroy your curiosity mind, remain interested, do wonder "maybe there is a small piece of something new I will hear that I didn't know about", ask questions rather than dictating answers: "You know I read this book in the past and it was claiming ABC, did you learn something different?" rather than "It is like this and like that, end of story".

The "it's too difficult" or "can't learn" blocks to success

Very often nowadays I see older people blocking out knowledge about technology. Yes, I know why and yes I know it's maybe a little bit scary, but honestly, there is nothing difficult - you just have to approach any new learning with a specific methodology:

1. Break the subject into tiny little pieces.
2. Pick up just one of these tiny pieces and learn that - should be no issue for anyone, even for kids.
3. Keep learning that one little piece (power of repetition) until you truly know it or truly understand it.
4. Go on to the next little piece.
5. After 20 hours of concentrated study with this method any person can have a very high degree of knowledge (vs. average) in whatever subject you choose.

So don't become arrogant!
Don't block yourself from learning!
Don't shut off your curiosity about the world as you age!
Keep learning to achieve success!

Don't Sleep but Sleep to Succeed

"...and if needed then don't sleep! Work! Keep reaching for your dreams!" - is a powerful message which many practice, but take care of your health!

How mad is it to continuously fight for your first success, to fight and succeed in your first business, to fight and achieve financial independence, to fight and build a massive empire only to fall asleep in your car while driving and have a car accident and lose everything that you have worked so hard for (not to mention the impact on your family)?

I crashed my car today, because I was pushing myself hard every day and getting only about 4 hours of sleep. Staying awake with caffeine basically, yawning all the time. After a week of this it seems the body had enough and a couple of times i closed my eyes when driving but opened them straight away, but then at some point I opened them at the moment i am smashed into the car in front of me. Luckily this was in the high traffic section of the high way so just bumper damage, but if this happened on the high speed section I might not be writing this post right now.

In this post I want to give a clear message that, yes!, you must work and you must work after you finished work and then some more, and even you have to sacrifice sleep sometimes to make sure certain things are done, to make sure you come one step closer to your dreams whatever they may be, but do not fool yourself into thinking that you are a robot!

You must take into account all resources that you have and just like your bank account, just like your taxes, your apartment, your computer and all the other tools you use to help you achieve your goals, your body is also a tool and, more than that, it is a critically important tool.

• You could make do without a calculator, you could do it in Excel.
• You can make do with only some cloths with some extra effort in laundry.
• You can make do in a smaller apartment where space is limited with a better organization.
• But you will be completely blocked if you damage your mind or if you damage your body!

So realize that your body is an absolutely required tool in order to achieve your dreams and keep it running smoothly. Don't put in it junk food, don't force it beyond its limitations. Do challenge it! Do keep pushing the borders and teach it to withstand more and more pain and discomfort and hard work, etc, but be sensitive enough to not overdo it or you will risk losing everything you have worked hard for and then some more.

Things which bring you money

"There are 2 types of things in the world when it comes to money - things which bring you money (Assets) and things which take money away from you (Liabilities)"

And so the goal of a successful person is to build and accumulate more and more Assets and to keep the Liabilities to the minimum. That does not mean that one will never use liabilities. Borrowing money is a liability but can be used as a temporary tool to create, build or accumulate certain assets. That said, let's keep this simple for now.

• If you buy a house with a mortgage then every month this house will be taking money away from you.
• If you buy a car, then again, every month the car will be taking money away from you.
• If you buy something like a TV or a new coat then these are comfort or pleasure items, they take money away from you for the purchase and they can also take time away from you (e.g. TV, phone), but they definitely do not bring you money.

On the other hand you have things which bring you money every month and these are called Assets. Rich and successful people aim to get more and more Assets because this will enable them to earn more and more income every month even if they do nothing. And moreover, later down the road, they can pass on their Assets to their children who can use this wealth to create an even bigger empire. That's how, for example, royal families are so rich and powerful. Their wealth and education / knowledge has been passed on generation to generation.

Now there are 3 types of Assets as Robert Kiyosaki explains.

• Business
• Real Estate
• Paper

Business is the hardest one, but has the highest reward potential. This is because you have to be actively involved in setting it up and running it up to the point where you can assign someone else to manage it.

Real Estate is less difficult than business but still requires your attention and actions to maintain it and keep it running. It has less reward potential than business but more than paper.

Paper is a general word to describe all sort of financial instruments like shares, bonds, and any other financial instrument which pays you monthly or annually depending on your investment. These are easier to maintain and will give the least reward compared to business or real estate. Note here we are not talking about day trading or short term manipulations, we are talking about long term investment which pays dividends or interest or whatever other payment.

Rich and Successful People's Mentality

Their aim, as mentioned, is to gather more and more assets. You can start with smaller things naturally if you don't have a lot of money, but there is always something you can start accumulating which can begin bringing you whatever amount of money. And, in a way, it almost doesn't matter where you start or how much you earn as long as every month you keep creating more and more and earning more and more.

Here you will make decisions like:

• I will not buy that nice house i wanted and will live in a smaller place and with the difference in cash i will buy more Assets. 
• I will not buy my dream car now and will buy a second hand not-so-awesome car which is just enough to get me from A to B but with the difference in cash i will build or buy more Assets.
• I will not buy a new sofa or whatever new furniture just to impress people who visit my house and with that money i will get more Assets.
• Etc.

Every month, every week, every day you must make the correct choices which will result in you accumulating more and more assets and growing your income!

VIDEO: "60 Minutes To Getting Rich." Robert Kiyosaki

A really useful educational speech which, in a very simple way, explains the wrong way of thinking of poor or unsuccessful people and explains the way of thinking of the rich and successful people. Yes, it is long, but totally worth watching and learning from.

"This guy is very inspiring."
"What a blast, truly a gem, thank u for the wisdom sir robert :)"

"i cried my heart out watching this"
"Awesome!!!"

Being bad at Something

It is OK to be bad at something, but it is not OK TO CHOOSE to stay that way.

Realize that we knew nothing on Day 1 and if you are doing things properly you should come to a realization that you know nothing at all on your last day (this is because the more you study something the more you understand what vast knowledge you simply do not have).

Every single human on this planet starts their life being bad at absolutely everything. Then what happens? We learn. Step by step. And that is EXACTLY how you must attack any problem or weakness you have - step by step!

You don't understand math or accounting or chemistry or any other subject? - Start Learning! Don't try to tackle an entire lecture or a debate / discussion or a seminar. Google free tutorials, watch youtube videos, go buy a book on that subject and learn in silence by yourself little by little and build up the caste of your knowledge one brick at a time.

Learning takes time and effort and some people learn slower than others, but every single one of us can learn and do every single job on this planet - all that is required is willingness to sit and learn.

Step 1 of being bad at something is accepting it and acknowledging that this is OK!

Step 2 is making a plan on how to go from low level of knowledge to in-depth understanding. As people are different, some may prefer to hire a teacher or ask a classmate to help them, while other people may prefer to learn in silence by reading and yet another group of people who are better at visual absorption of information might be better off learning from documentaries, movies, tutorials and live demonstrations. Whoever you are, whatever type of person you are, pick the best, most efficient and enjoyable method of learning.

Step 3 is to take action! Simple go and implement your plan that you made in Step 2 and keep on motivating yourself to keep going. Do it with a friend or a group of friends if you want. And be forgiving of yourself, do not attack yourself regularly if you do not understand. Keep hammering the knowledge and at some point you will start clearly understanding things. Do not give up! There is nothing on this planet you can not learn! Everything is possible - only a matter of time!

Choose to see yourself with unlimited potential.
Realize that there is nothing out there beyond your understanding - you only need to choose which things you want to participate it from the vast number of choices that you have.
Accept yourself, make a plan, implement it and achieve and grasp YOUR SUCCESS!

Success through Silence

There are a lot of talkative people out there including people who love spending time with friends talking over a cup of coffee or talking for hours on the phone or by skype, so especially if you are one of these types of people:

Through chatting you will achieve temporary gratification, but though silence you will achieve clarity, solutions and path to your dreams!

All the great accomplishments EVER done were done in silence, because you need, even if small, a space for concentration and reflection to connect the dots and make a discovery or come up with an amazing idea or a solution to a problem which seemed impossible.

Time flies so fast when just chatting for fun on mobile, skype, facebook, twitter or similar - you would not believe the huge amount of hours that are invested into it. You could probably get several PhD degrees done in that time :)

If you want big success, if you want your dreams to come true and not remain on a cover of a magazine, if you want to get somewhere worthwhile, stop wasting that time chatting, gossiping, discussing weather, discussing shop discounts or new versions of phones, etc.

Achieve success through silence!
Concentrate on what is important;
Think in solutions;
Think, then Act;
All in silence

And when you reach your dreams and you become successful, then feel free to chat and waste time as you please all day :)

Sacrifice to Success

The ability to sacrifice today in order to mold the successful person who you will become!

Is your favorite TV show on? Are you able not to watch it and instead of it do some boring administrative task which is a small thing that is needed to help you achieve your future successful self?

Are friends calling you? A cool party somewhere? "Once in a lifetime fun"? Are you able to sacrifice that today and instead write the 2nd chapter of the book you wanted to publish?

Life is broken down into 2 basic parts when it comes to becoming successful. There are activities that you can do to bring you step by step closer to your goals, to your dreams and then there is everything else. Oh, this is too hard you say? Not very human? What about, say, family time? Well, would your parents prefer you in a miserable job complaining all the time and having time to visit them frequently or would your parents prefer you on your peak, strong on your feet, fire in your heart, strength in your resolve, traveling all over the world making your dreams come true and having only too little time to see them? I promise you they prefer the latter.

Every moment
Every day
Make your choices
Sacrifice pleasure today to be on top of the mountain tomorrow

Seek What You Miss

If I can do it you can do it too!

Assuming similar backgrounds why would one person succeed and the other not? Well plenty of reasons of course which I discuss on this blog, but one element is more important than all others and that element is knowledge or information.

• If I know the best place to buy something I could easily be up to 20% richer than you
• If I know who is looking for a certain product I can make the sale and you will struggle
• If I know well the laws I can get a lot more benefits than you (especially on tax law)
• If I know how to get support or convince people to support me with funds then I will be able to start my project while you will not

There are many such examples I can write and all of them have one thing in common, i.e. someone has a certain piece of information and someone does not. The one who has it is much more successful, wealthier, happier and the other not.

Furthermore, do not underestimate the effect of cumulative benefits. If you get a small benefit from every piece of information that you learn then, in total, and especially over the years, this can result in millions of extra cash for you compared to someone else.

1. Identify what information you are missing.
2. Identify who has it or who could have it or who knows someone who could have that piece of information.
3. SEEK IT!

Accidentally Forgetting Food

"I was so into it I forgot to eat anything"

When you are at your peak of focus, dedication, discipline and 100% excited  about what you are doing and you clearly see your goal, your dream then basic needs or comforts or people's perceptions stop registering in your brain.

• You forget to eat
• You forget to shower
• You forget to change cloths
• You forget to go get a drink with your friends
• You forget you have family

As you see there are even what we would cal negative consequences, but this is NOT forever, this is a specific period of time where you are giving your 100% to make your dreams come true.

This can be an intense afternoon or an intense full night of work without sleep or this can be  an intense week or a month - it all depends on what intensity means to each person. But it is TOTALLY OK to fully focus on yourself for a certain period of time in exchange for a brighter future and if you are happier and more successful as an outcome:

• You can eat later you will not die
• Your family will understand and support you
• Your REAL friends will also understand and fully support you, but your FAKE friends will go *poof* which is better for you anyway

As a more successful and happier person you will actually radiate happiness and joy and motivation to all the people around you so a certain period of 100% focus, dedication, discipline is not only a good thing but is also 100% required and even much more than 1 time in your life.

When your body and mind is 100% into your project you will accidentally forget to eat for as long as that focus is maintained (can be few days even).

It is TOTALLY OK to be temporarily selfish for the better future of yourself and your future radiating of positive energy to your friends and family!

Success vs. Comfort

Swim in the water or Swim in money - Your Choice!

You want to go to a holiday? Nice beach? Swimming in beautiful blue water? No problem but you must know that this is the COMFORT path. It is YOUR choice. Or you enjoy or you spend that month working towards your dreams, your success!

Success is a future benefit that you earn by doing something today. So you always are confronted with the choice of comfort versus actions that would lead to success.

Choices which you make today create the person that you are tomorrow!

Every day, every minute, you are confronted with:

• Should I sleep a little longer? - Comfort!
• It's so nice to take a longer shower. - Comfort!
• I'm sick of my cloths, I wanna go buy new ones.  - Comfort!
• My car is getting old now, would be nice to get a new one.  - Comfort!
• There is a cool party happening at....   - Comfort!
• There is a nice concert....  - Comfort!
• Oh it's on TV?  - Comfort!

Every time you make a comfort choice you push yourself away from your dream, your success!

It does not mean we must eliminate comfort, but we must be aware that we are paying for it with the stars of our shattered dreams!

VIDEO: Eric Thomas Best Motivational Speech

Hey everyone, here is a wonderful video from Eric Thomas - very energetic and passionate speech.

Truth to Yourself

"I always wanted ..." - No you didn't!

NEVER lie to yourself!
If you truly wanted it you would have gotten it.

• What did you do if you really wanted a burger? You moved your behind to where they sell it and you got one. That's right YOU MOVED!

• What did you do at work if you really wanted a raise? You worked harder than anyone else; you  did everything you could to score points with your boss. That's right YOU MOVED!
  

• What did you do when you really wanted that guy or that girl? You spent EVERY DAY thinking of ways to make that happen! That's right YOU MOVED!

So NEVER cheat yourself and never lie to yourself with phrases like "I always wanted to...." - If you really want it - GO GET IT!

You want something? GO GET IT!
Push to get it every day!
Got problems? Find solutions!

Power of Focus

You can not achieve the maximum potential success if you are in 10 places at 1 time

Pick your idea --> Invest fully into it --> and you will achieve success!
However if you pick your idea and then pick another 9 ideas which are also cool and if you try to do everything you will very soon realize that you will get nowhere.

What is invest fully?

You do NOTHING else than this ONE thing!
No exceptions. Full focus = Success!

Every day!
100% Concentration!
One idea / method / concept only!
EVERY DAY!

Power of Desire

You accomplish those things into which you put energy - not those you wish for!

If you run every day you will be good at running.

If you study math every day you will be awesome at maths.
If you learn programming every day you will become amazing at it.

The key word is EVERY DAY!

So wishing something sometimes has very little energy invested into it. Think of it as a pump - you have to keep pumping energy into yourself, into your success. It's like filling in a balloon with air - few times blowing in will not inflate it, but consistent effort and enough of it will get you ready for your party.

Every day!
Keep pumping energy into it!
EVERY DAY!
