Life is short!

Let’s get a little personal.

It’s been said over and over again, but life is short. When it comes to doing the things we want to do, it always seems as if there isn’t enough time.

And really, there isn’t much time. Once you reach adulthood, there is a very small window in which you can work to your potential and achieve your success. Even if you remain healthy, there are several factors that can interfere with your work and your dreams.

This means that you should have a sense of urgency with everything you do. Act as if you don’t have time. You never know when it will be your last day, so simply do the things you can do. If you give it your all, you are bound to see success.

And when the time comes, you will be able to look back and realize your legacy.

You will have made it.

What? It works!!

You have the opportunity of a lifetime in front of you. After years of hard work, you have the potential for a major financial investment that could give you a lifetime of wealth. You’ve been working for this opportunity for as long as you remember.

You have two options:

You can sit back and wish that the investment pays off. Or you can make the investment and take the necessary steps to see that it becomes an asset in your life.

Which do you choose?

It may sound rhetorical, but if you follow any of the dime-a-dozen “self-help” books online, you might seriously be tempted to choose the former. Why? Because too often is the idea taught that money can be made without hard work.

The truth is this: the power to make money begins with the mind but ends in behavior. Don’t just think like a rich man—act like one.

Road is Risky!

They say the short road is usually the most dangerous, and I agree.

This is especially true when it comes to money.

I’ve read countless horror stories of lottery winners going broke or dying soon after receiving their fortunes.

And the reason for this is actually quite simple.

Most people aren’t equipped to handle large amounts of money. Unless you get out and earn money the hard way, it’s difficult to conceptualize how to use money properly.

This can have deadly side effects.

My advice for this is very simple: don’t play the lottery.

You don’t want to take the easy road. You want to work hard and achieve success on your own. That is the challenge, and that is the fun. Going the long way will teach you valuable lessons and provide you with amazing opportunities.

So put in the effort! Do your best and recognize your blessings.

That’s what they call a life worth living.

Stop making excuses.

You have a dream you want to achieve? Go achieve it.

Don’t let what’s in front of you right now stop you from

achieving what you want in the future. The power to

achieve your dreams is in your hands. Don’t agree?

It’s because you’re not ready to take responsibility for

your own life. You’re not ready to bear the burden of

your success or failures. Stop cowering. You need to

make the most of your life, and you won’t do that

sitting in the corner. You won’t do that hiding behind

your problems. Your dreams will only be achieved when

you stand up and say, “I want them” and do everything

you can to make them possible. There is no “I don’t have

time.” There is no “I don’t have the energy right now.”

Stop with the excuses. Take control of your own life and

embrace the challenge of achievement. There’s no excuse not to.

You got it!

Who was the first man on the moon?

You got it. Neil Armstrong.

Now who was the second?

Yeah… Most people don’t know.

That’s because history remembers only those who come in first place.

And it’s the same in business.

If you are looking to become rich off a product, service, or idea,

you need to get that product, service, or idea out quickly.

You won’t be rich if someone beats you to it. At the very best,

you will be the imitation no one wants to buy.

And that’s just, well…

Let’s not go there.

If you truly want to be rich, now is the time to buckle down and make it happen.

Don’t waste time. Don’t just believe that your money will come when the time is right.

Because the time isn’t right until you make it right.

When it comes to being rich, everything, it turns out, depends on you.

What are you struggling with right now?

What are the challenges in your life that you wish to overcome on a personal level but just find it so hard to do?

Think on this for a moment.

Chances are, the things you find hard to do, the people around you also find hard to do. What I mean by this is simple. You learn from observing, especially during childhood. For the first seven years of your life, you simply learn through observation. You watch your mother and father. You watch your teachers. You watch your peers.

From these people you learn fundamental rules. You gain the knowledge of what you can do, and what is appropriate in any given situation. There are hundreds of thousands of these small rules that you must learn, but for the most part, they are not taught to you. You simply absorb them.

Along with the absorption, you are absorbing patterns of behavior that you see around you. Let’s say that your parents come home from their day jobs (which support you quite nicely) and simply sit around. They watch TV. They listen to music. They drink a little.

As a child, you absorb these behaviors. This doesn’t mean that you will become a carbon copy of your parents or even do the things that they do. But it does mean that your subconscious will build a system that’s fixed on these structures.

Have you struggled with deadlines? Do you have a bad habit of procrastination? Do you always want to put stuff off until tomorrow? —and when tomorrow comes? This makes life stressful and frantic. When one thinks back to one’s childhood, however, you can understand why that is. Your parents were the same way. You took the foundation they laid out for you and implanted it in your brain.

So how can we overcome these systems? It’s simple, but it will take a bit of work. All you have to do is live by repetition. If you have a problem with procrastination, make it a habit to do your work early. This will update your software and set you up for success.

Do you have what it takes?

“I will be rich,” you tell yourself one day as you look in the mirror. “I can do this. I have everything I need. I am special.”

You repeat this over and over every day in front of the mirror. You sit around, waiting for your miracle to happen. Sometimes, on a whim, you get inspired and make incremental efforts toward your goal.

Eventually, you realize that your goal will never be achieved.

And the reason for that is simple: the power of positive thinking doesn’t work.

At least not alone.

The popular slogan should be combined with another: the power of positive thinking and continuous action—with emphasis on the latter.

Simply put, you will never achieve your goals or dreams without putting your plans into action. It’s simply not enough to just believe that what you want to happen will happen. Making money takes effort—and lots of it.

If the power of positive thinking itself worked, you can guarantee that there would be several more millionaires running around.

They simply just aren’t.

So it’s time to remove pointless optimism from your life. All it does it hold you back. Instead, replace with careful strategy and tireless effort. Replace it with the knowledge that the worst could come—and then prepare for it.

This is the only way to become rich. There are no “get-rich-quick” schemes at life. So don’t expect any.

Understand that in order to be a millionaire, you have to think differently from those around you. What are people around you doing? If you are acting like them, it’s time to stop and change your course.

You will never be part of the 1% if all your actions mirror the 99%. That’s just not how life works. The definition of insanity is said to be doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results. It’s safe to modify it a bit and say the definition of insanity is doing the same things unsuccessful people are doing and expecting to be successful doing them.

So it’s tired to throw away the clichés. It’s time to buckle down and start working.

Now’s your chance.

3 Powerful Words to Use When Selling

What are the three most powerful words to use when selling?

Think about it for a minute.

Here’s the answer: “I don’t know.”

While that may seem counterproductive at first, there’s a good reason for this. The words “I don’t know” can give you ultimate control when you are attempting to close a deal with a potential client.

How so?

It’s simple.

By telling your potential client that you don’t know the answer to his inquiries, you can shoot down his attempts to redirect the conversation and keep the deal moving in the direction you want it to. By doing this, you can greatly increase your chances of closing the sale and making a profit.

What happens if you don’t use this method? Simply put, you put yourself in danger of letting the deal get out of your hand. This is an amateur mistake. If you wish to close deals like the best, you need to tell your clients, “I don’t know.”

How does one get out of the rut?

You've felt it before, haven't you? The routine, the monotony, the sinking feeling of being stuck on a loop that you can't get out of! It's a problem becoming more and more prevalent in our lives, and everyone wants a solution to the problem.

First off, just think about that for a moment. Out of all the creatures in the world, we're the only ones who feel compelled to break away from the one thing we feel comfortable with, maybe because it's too comfortable, but nevertheless, no other animal will break free from that instinct, all except for us. That's what drives us to greatness, what encourages us to make history nearly every single day, good or bad. We are truly unique in that regard, and you should feel good about that, because that's what it means to be human.

What do you do after making this revelation though? Honestly, that is entirely up to you to decide, because no one solution is right for everyone.

It doesn't matter what you do. Travel the world, travel out of town, fall in love, fall in your pool with your clothes on” it really doesn't matter. Whatever works for you is what you should do. As long as it breaks you out of the toxic feeling of being stuck, of being trapped in this cycle of repetition, then it'll be good for your overall mental health. Now I'm not saying go out and commit a crime just to spice up your life. Hurting others shouldn't be an acceptable outcome for you just because you try to justify it in the name of doing something different. It doesn't have to be constructive, but so long as it isn't destructive to someone's property or their personal well being, then it should be okay.

Once you start doing this you'll likely begin noticing your body and mind subtly trying to get you back into the rhythm of things. Now this isn't the time to start thinking you are already failing in your attempts to break free, because it's not. We are creatures of habit, it's in our DNA to get into a habit, even incorporating that new thing we're doing into the habit so it doesn't seem so uncomfortable anymore. This is going to be a constant battle with your body, because it is always going to want to feel safe, so it is most certainly going to try and put you back into a habit whenever you stop thinking about it. You can win this battle, but it requires a lot of effort and a lot of courage, especially since you'll have to get out of your comfort zone to do so.

Breaking free won't happen overnight. It's going to take time, effort, and the will to forgive yourself if and when you stumble. At times it'll feel difficult to get the energy to do something different, you'll start making up excuses or downplaying how being in this frame of mind makes you feel. Whenever you get this feeling, know that it isn't because you can't do it, it's because you are thinking too big for your own good and aren't applying my earlier advice of doing what's best for you.

You are only setting yourself up for failure if you arbitrarily put up impossible goals to reach for.

Going up Mount Everest isn't something to do on a whim, and you know that. It's not scary to say you're going out to do something you know you won't do anyway. What's really scary is talking to a stranger, or learning a new skill or even trying a different food. That is you don't want to do, and that is what really makes you afraid.

The thing about that is though, is that everyone is afraid of trying something new. To try something new means you cannot know what the outcome is, putting you in the unknown and leaving you vulnerable. If you want to protect yourself then that's okay, but do not do it by hiding behind the same daily routine, so afraid that you might get hurt you would rather become stagnant.

I hope that in some way this article helps you to overcome the control a monotonous life has on you. We live in a world of endless possibilities, so you shouldn't limit yours by doing the same thing over and over again. Go out there in the world and see just what it is you're missing, one step at a time.

For those of you who have taken this journey and gained some stories along the way, please post them in the comments for everyone to read. Nothing would make my day more than reading all the incredible ways you folks have broken through your rut and tried something different. You'll be surprised what others might have done, both big and small, in order to feel the spice of life invigorated in them once more. So go on, take a chance and see where it might lead you on your path.

Expect it!

Would you rather hope somethings comes true or do everything

in your power to make sure that it does? The answer to this may

be more complex than you initially expect. The reason is simple.

You may say you want something, but how badly do you really

want it? Can you really say you want to be rich if you aren’t taking

the proper steps to make money? And I mean every step. Think

about the successful people you’ve met and seen. All of these

individuals never miss an opportunity to make money. They never

miss an investment. They never abandon chances to protect

themselves from financial threats. This is the total opposite of,

let’s say, an armchair millionaire who sits at home all day wishing

for money. This may sound harsh, but the reality is that you cannot

make money without effort. The good news? You CAN be a millionaire

—just not through positive thinking. I don’t care what your millionaire

guru says.

Short term success? Or long term?

It’s been said that we overestimate what we can achieve in one year and underestimate what we can achieve in one decade.

From my personal experience, I can verify that this is 100% true.

But why do you think that is?

There actually a couple of reasons for this. First, we tend to develop detailed short term strategies that we believe will make or break our success. For example, say a man has a goal to expand his business outreach by 50% in one year. He makes a detailed, month-by-month plan that tracks his metrics, and he works tirelessly to achieve his goal.

Unfortunately, his expectations were too big. Only expanding his outreach by 30% in his first year, the man grows disgruntled and fails to make any such detailed plans over the next decade.

“I just can’t do it,” he says to himself.

A decade later, he is barely past his starting point.

Does this sound familiar?

The problem here is that it’s normal to underachieve when we don’t have a great reference. It’s hard to exactly predict where we will be in one year, and our natural optimism often puts us ahead mentally of where we will be in reality. This in turn deflates us when we don’t achieve our goals. We spend the time after this thinking that we aren’t good enough, and eventually this attitude causes us to fail.

This is a strikingly common pattern in life.

But let’s be real. Ten years is a long time. If you are able to keep the big picture in your mind as you work for a decade, you will undoubtedly achieve more than you ever imagined.

That’s why you shouldn’t waste any time getting to the work you need to do. Do you have a business you wish to grow? Now is the time to start making plans. Don’t worry if you fall short. Just remember that one year won’t make or break your success. Keep the long term in mind.

If you do this, you will find that your success is even better than your dreams.

So what are you waiting for?

We’ve all heard this phrase. And we’re all familiar with the notion that if you just work hard—that if you just have the right mindset—you can overcome any obstacle and become rich.

I’m here to tell you that that’s simply not true. Now, before you object, let me explain why. I’m in no way demeaning the value of hard work or saying that it gets you nowhere. That’s a different story.

So let’s not get sidetracked.

What I am saying is that your willpower is not as strong as your environment. This can be easily proven. If you are in a negative situation or somewhere where you can’t get a lot of work done, you likely won’t ever become rich. Making money takes the right environment.

Let’s look at a specific example. Say you are starting your online business, and you are working hard to really get the company off the ground. You’ve had some success, but there’s one thorn in your side… your roommate. You’ve lived with your roommate for over a decade, and you hate to push him away, but his lazy, “let’s have fun” attitude is constantly getting in the way of your work. Sure, you have the willpower and the mentality to do his work, but your environment makes it incredibly hard to do it.

This is what I mean when I say that environment trumps willpower. Simply put, your environment has the ability to kill your will—and if that’s what you rely on, you are left alone.

Therefore, in order to have true financial success, you need to create an environment that is good for you. Clean your house and set it in order. Find your alone time. Keep with you anything that gives you motivation.

In the end, you will find that this productive environment is much more useful than “willpower.” You will see that—in many cases—mind over matter is just a myth. Your wealth and your happiness both stem from your environment, and if you can’t set that straight, you will not be able to make serious money.

So get out and change what you can!

Stop me if you’ve heard this before.

You can’t move forward if you’re living in the past. At least not in any productive way.

I know—this is hardly new information. But take a moment to really reflect on this, and you’ll see why it’s important.

Did you know that only 5% of our brain focuses on conscious activity? This means that the other 95% is imbedded in the subconscious, or those activities we do so much that they become habit. In this context, habit refers to repeated actions that are so used to us that they are more body than mind.

Habits can be a good thing when they set up positive routines for us. They help regulate our actions so that we can be successful. But there is a downside—habits can keep you living in the negative past.

The very definition of repetition is doing things over and over again. This puts habits on a chronological scale. You can’t have a habit if it hasn’t been performed over a stretch of time. This means that—in performing some habits—you are in fact keeping your negative past actions on a trajectory to the future.

Your habits are your future. And if you are involved in negative habits that keep you in the past, you will never move forward in the way you want.

Let’s look at an example. If you are in the habit of wasting too much of your free time, you are seriously setting yourself up for failure. This is because you are programming your body to get used to this free time, and that in itself keeps you from positioning your mind to do hard work. In order to be successful, you need to make sure that your 5% of consciousness is fully active and taking charge of every situation. If you let your subconscious dominate all your activities through habit, you will find it hard to move forward in a positive way.

This means that you need to make sure your habits align with your future goals. Don’t carry the past with you. Your success is waiting around the corner—but you must grab it fully and actively.

Can Millennials “Future-Proof” Themselves?

If you’ve been keeping up with the state of education, you might already know that it’s far behind where it needs to be.

Let me explain.

With the rise of technology, traditional classrooms have become outdated. Simply put, they are not equipped to teach our children in modern ways. Antiquated teaching methods don’t take all students into consideration.

As if this isn’t bad enough, traditional classrooms often teach to a certain level. This leaves some children behind and keeps others back. It’s clear that traditional classrooms are not working.

In other words, it’s time to move on.

Charter schools and other methods are becoming increasingly viable for millennials and members of the next generation. With more modern teaching methods and more technological integration, these schools do more to get students ready for the modern workforce.

So if you’re wondering if it’s time to ditch the traditional classroom, take my advice—it is.
