change a behavior or create a new habit. Often times we want
something different but old tapes continue to play in our head
that keep us from reaching our goals and dreams. This can range

little scary. However one of the ways to reduce fear and
increase success is to lean on the wisdom and experience of
others who have been successful in life.
Some may be famous and others not. Nevertheless, the wisdom if

inspire me to down size my boss and it can do the same for you.

experience the world in the way they have been told to. ---Alan
Keightley

know my mother meant well and thought she was preparing me tobe
able to have access to the pearly gates of success she could not
know how things would change.
However, I knew that I wanted more? How about you? Remember, you
don't have to settle for 60 hour work weeks, 30 minute commutes,
your kids in day care or relocating for the promise of career
advancement. You don't have to be part of the grind...the rat
race.

you focus on simply daily actions the big goals take care of
themselves.

activities you will get their results.

to be your strategy. Remember, it's your life and it's now or
never.

as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.
---Denis Waitley
No matter what your current conditions are you have the
opportunity to change them. However, this only can happen if you
take total responsible for the direction of your life. If you
don't like where you are forgive yourself and focus on
solutions. Don't focus on problems or why you think something
can't happen. Start to ask powerful questions the answers will

fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light,
not our darkness that most frightens us. Who are we NOT to be

God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. We were born to
make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just
in some of us; it's in us all. ---Marianne Williamson
When I first heard this quote it brought tears to my eyes. What
talent or gift do you have that you are allowing fear to rob you
from achieving? Doing what you were called to do it is bigger
than you. You are unique and sharing your gift with someone
could make a difference in their life. Are you playing it too
small? Are staying in a job that doesn't stretch you? What can
you do to make a difference?
9. You'll see things "you never knew you never knew." ---
Disney's Pocahontas
The journey and pursuit of freedom allows you to see the world
in a different way than others. As you grow you will naturally
see opportunities that others can not see. Jason Oman author of
Conversation with Millionaires calls it "Money Goggles." Even if
you were in a pitch black room you will have infrared vision in
the area of creating opportunities to make money.

pursuit of their dreams. Don't allow yourself to be in
environments that discourage you.
11. What is it that you like doing? If you don't like it, get
out of it, because you'll be lousy at it. You don't have to stay
with a job for the rest of your life, because if you don't like
it you'll never be successful in it. ---Lee Iacocca
Why would you ever spend most of your waking hours doing
something that you don't like? The key to success is finding
something you love to and set the standard for excellence.
12. Simply making consistent investments in our self-education
and knowledge banks pays major dividends throughout our lives.

The self-education I have pursued after college has been my
greatest return on investment. There is something to be said
when you develop skills that you know will support you in any
economy. Specialized knowledge applied with all out massive
results will yield hefty financial and emotional rewards.
13. Finding your purpose may be a lifelong pursuit or you may
have discovered it when you were 5 years old. There's no
absolute timeline for anyone. That's a good reason never to give
up, to keep on discovering things every day. --- Donald Trump
If you have not discovered your life's purpose don't be hard on
yourself. Start to ask yourself questions and enter into a
discovery process. Allow yourself to dream without concerns of
how you will get it done. Every time you think you have found
the answer did a little deeper with more questions. Rarely are
your true goals, purpose and desires on the surface of your
soul. Often times they have been put away for safe keeping to
protect yourself from disappointment. Keep discovering new
things until your purpose is crystal clear.
14. What material success does is provide you with the ability
to concentrate on other things that really matter. And that is
being able to make a difference, not only in your own life, but
in other people's lives. ---Oprah Winfrey

greater. Oprah exemplifies this principle. She now looks for
ways to help others in everything she does. Whether it is giving
more support to your family or contributing to a worthy cause,
having freedom as a work from home entrepreneur will allow you
make your mark in the world.
15. The world cares very little about what a man or woman knows;
it is what the man or woman is able to do. --- Booker T.
Washington
So what can you create and add value to the world? I love this
quote because it demonstrates very clearly that what matters are
results at the end of the day. Don't get caught up in theories.
Make sure you are constantly taking action that moves you
towards a specific goal.
16. There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less
than the long-range risks of comfortable inaction. --- John F.
Kennedy
Are you so afraid to fail that you just can't get out of the
box? Don't be. Many people have "failed" their way to million
dollar empires. It is better to do something and be wrong then
to do nothing at all. When you choose to do nothing someone else
usually makes a decision that impacts you and you ending up
doing something you don't want to do.
17. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in
this world are the people who get up and look for circumstances
they want. --George Bernard Shaw
There is no such thing as luck. You create the luck by working
and preparing for the opportunity. When you start to put
yourself out there the universe gives back. Make sure you are
clear of your intentions and then go and make it happen.
19. It's not the hours you put in your work that counts, it's
the work you put in your hours. --- Sam Ewing
You have the same 24 hours in the day as Bills Gate and Oprah.
Don't sabotage yourself by saying, "Well they can do it because
their rich." Unless you inherit wealth there is a price that
everyone has to pay. You don't have to work all day at your work
from empire. However, you must consistently put time in if you
want success.
20. You must do the thing you think you cannot do. --- Eleanor
Roosevelt.
One of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is to do
something you think you can not do. It doesn't have to be
something huge. A simple action of courage goes a long in adding
to your confidence in every area of your life.
21. You will never leave where you are, until you decide where
you'd rather be. --- Dexter Yager
Until you know your purpose you will be at risk for staying in a
job that slowly eats away at you. Why? You simply don't have a
strong enough goal to leave your current job. When the goal is
strong enough you will search to find the answers.
