It Always Begins As A Dream
At some point in our lives, we all have the desire to improve ourselves. This urge may be driven by circumstances or a genuine analysis of our potential versus our reality. To realize your dreams of a better life requires a decision to take control of your life and circumstances. But taking action is not always easy. However, your dreams of a better life can become a reality only if YOU take full responsibility for making them real. You must accept a vital concept: Every man-made achievement in existence began as a mental vision. It became a solid, 3-dimensional object through action. Your mental vision or dream is also subject to this rule. Every existing physical achievement was nothing more than a dream that would not quit. Your desire is no exception.
Maybe you desire to create a wonderful business and life for yourself and your loved ones in the near future. But you may be in a slump and need some motivation. This message will give you some insights you may not know. Study it as often as you need. Hopefully it will spur you on to make your dreams come true and work for you.
The Future Is Your Responsibility
Where do you go from here? Your first action is to decide what you want to achieve, what you want for your life. Don't consider the "how" of achieving it. That comes later. Understand this: The life you have today is the future you worked for yesterday. Today you are in the process of constructing tomorrow's future. Whatever your idea for your life, understand that YOU are THE creative force within it. YOU are creating it. YOU have to visualize how big it is going to be. YOU have to visualize how much gratification it is going to bring you every day, week and month for the rest of your life. YOU have to visualize what you are going to do with the money that it will provide for you and your loved ones. YOU have to decide where and when YOU are going to build this dream. You also must decide how long you want to take before the dream becomes a reality. That will be your catalyst for choosing HOW you apply your powers and abilities to make your dream materialize. Above all, YOU decide with whom YOU will align yourself. From henceforth , your life becomes a business which you must give the respect and consideration it requires.
A CONSCIOUS CHOICE
Your responsibility cannot be overlooked or minimized. YOUR conscious choice to become a business-owner requires an adjustment of your thinking-patterns from those of a mere wage-earner to that of a business-owner. Henceforth, your actions must be driven by your dreams and desires for the future you want to create. This will influence your choice of friends and companions. Unfortunately , most of our current friends were not chosen for their business expertise. You must choose companions who will assist you in realizing your dreams. Your friends influence your dreams. Your dreams influence your actions. Your actions determine what kind of future you create. You are responsible for the environment you create around yourself and your business. Remember, you can't soar like an eagle if you surround yourself with turkeys.
As a new business owner, you must undertake a commitment to your lifestyle. YOU need to understand money and its functions . Wage-earners view money as a means to pay bills. Business-people view money as a tool to buy the materials they need to create the lifestyle they want. It takes money to create the lifestyle you want. That is the process in which you are now engaged. When you decide on your business model or join an existing business, your signature on the dotted line means that you believe your future is worth fighting for. The question is: Will you commit yourself to overcoming the challenges (and there will be challenges!!!) that will confront you on the way to making your dreams come true? Money earned from your current job is designed mainly to pay last month's bills and to provide seed money for business projects. The money you earn from the business you do will pay for your future lifestyle. Work to make your dream come true.
Beware Current Limitations
REALIZING YOUR DREAMS
The realization of your dreams is totally dependent on the success of your work. Price Your Dream. Your dream can never become real until you collect the physical materials to create it. Begin pricing materials as soon as possible and start collecting what you can afford. Before you know it, your dream will begin to manifest itself. Calculate the cost of the lifestyle you want. Put a dollar value on it. Everything has a price. Begin pricing the things you desire. Create a vision board and put pictures of the things you want on it. Build your business aiming for that sum of money month after month, year after year for the rest of your life. That is the financial goal of your business. Put a dollar sign on every action you take in building your business. Every potential customer you contact has a dollar value... You need to milk every dollar you can get out of your efforts. Go after high value prospects as fast as you can. Capture them first, then go after your charity cases. Discard your fears. Be decisive. Get serious about your dreams. Do not make temporary setbacks into permanent obstacles. Deal with events as they happen. Reject negative futuristic thinking. Confine negative events to the time and place of their occurrences only. Handle today's challenges today and tomorrow's problems tomorrow. Above all, be willing to fight until you conquer whatever negatives stand between you and the realization of your dreams.Beware Current Limitations
Most people discard their dreams because they think they cannot afford them. They make their present financial limitations permanent obstacles to the realization of their dreams. They become victims of poverty thinking. Instead of creating the financial structure to support their dreams, they abandon the dreams that cannot be bought with their current paychecks. As a business-owner, you must reject poverty thinking. Business people never submit to financial limitations. They persevere until they find the way to create incomes large enough to afford their dreams. They never quit moving towards the day they can realize the dream. They use whatever tools they can to keep their dreams alive. You, too, can have the desires of your heart. No-one says it will be easy, but it is doable.
Live In Your Dreams
One of the most powerful, free tools available to you is visualization: seeing yourself having what you want in the future. Learn to see yourself living the life you want, having the things you want, enjoying the fruits of your labor. Allow yourself to feel the joys of being the person you are striving to be. Believe with every fiber of your being that you will have the things you are striving for. Remember that every magnificent creation of human society begins as a dream in someone's head and becomes a material reality only because the dreamer refused to quit dreaming. Commit yourself to dedicated action to realize your dream. Committed, dedication brings massive success...in time. Give yourself time to succeed. Infuse your mind with thoughts of the success you are creating for yourself and your loved ones and mentally diminish your present limitations. Today Is Only 24 Hours, Tomorrow Is Forever. Your life can always change tomorrow. Do not hold your dreams hostage to today's temporary events and conditions. Make your dreams durable enough to endure the worst of today's challenges.Put Your Mind To Work For You, Not Against You
Success in business is 99% mental. If you think you can't do something, the facts do not matter. Be aware, you are your own worst nightmare. It does not matter how capable you are. If you doubt your ability to succeed, you will fail miserably. Your mind belongs to you and will work only for you if you believe in yourself. Your education and physical abilities cannot compete with your power of thought. Your mind will carry out your every thought with extreme prejudice and unerring accuracy. If you want success, it will find the ways for you to succeed and if you want failure, it will find the ways for you to fail. Your mind works only for you. Do not use it against yourself. If you put positive, success-oriented thoughts into your mind, it will find ways to make you successful. Fill your mind with visions of the lifestyle you are creating. Anticipate the joy you will bring your loved ones once you are financially capable. Give your mind food for success. Dream big and dream beautiful. Give your mind the environment you want it to create around you and it will. Make yourself failure-proof.
A Word Of Caution:
Attitudes are contagious. Avoid negative-minded people like the plague, especially relatives. Don't hate
them. Just avoid their company until you are successful enough to show
them how wrong they were. Do not let negative-minded people infect you
with their defeatist attitudes or you will begin to view life like them.
Misery loves company. Don't become sympathetic for a negative-minded
person. The best way to help a negative-minded friend or relative is to achieve
massive success in your business and then show them how to do the same
if they want to. Do not waste your mind-power with thoughts of revenge against those who doubt you or belittle you. Instead concentrate on how well you will live and the looks of surprise on their faces as you drive by them in your dream car or truck. Massive Success Is The Best Revenge Ever!
