The Fatal Error That Keeps People Poor


Dear friends,

Throwing off the shackles of a job, taking control of your life by becoming an entrepreneur and going out and laying it all on the line with your own business is not the answer.

Not all businesses are equal and businesses do not get up and make money on their own. There is a lot more to it. This is like trying to reach the moon with a kite.

Making money requires you to have the right skills and the right vehicle. The fatal mistake many people make, either due to a lack of money or not thinking the process through, is to go into business that requires them TO SELL THEIR TIME OR TO MAKE MONEY FROM THEIR PERSONAL EFFORT.

If you are contemplating going into business, there is only one reason to do this - to create wealth. The successful achievement of this goal will give you absolute personal freedom, something everybody aspires to. In other words, essentially you want to get rich not for the sake of being rich but so you can choose how and when you work and how you wish to spend your time, freeing you for the things you really want to do in life. You could spend more time with your kids, your partner, play golf or tennis, relax, travel, or whatever it is in life that fulfills you.

It is hard to argue that anyone wants to go into business for any other reason than to create wealth, in order to gain personal freedom to do what they choose.

2011- Find Direction. Live Your Life Your Way!


Goal setting is a powerful process for thinking about your ideal future, and for motivating yourself to turn this vision of the future into reality.

The process of setting goals helps you choose where you want to go in life. By knowing precisely what you want to achieve, you know where you have to concentrate your efforts. You'll also quickly spot the distractions that would otherwise lure you from your course.

More than this, properly-set goals can be incredibly motivating, and as you get into the habit of setting and achieving goals, you'll find that your self-confidence builds fast.

Goal setting techniques are used by top-level athletes, successful business-people and achievers in all fields. They give you long-term vision and short-term motivation. They focus your acquisition of knowledge, and help you to organize your time and your resources so that you can make the very most of your life.

By setting sharp, clearly defined goals, you can measure and take pride in the achievement of those goals. You can see forward progress in what might previously have seemed a long pointless grind. By setting goals, you will also raise your self-confidence, as you recognize your ability and competence in achieving the goals that you have set.

S0, to all my fellow friends, find direction. Live Your Life Your Way! Happy New Year 2011...
