Respect!

Build your business in the respect of your values. If you don’t respect your values, who will?

“If you don't stand for something, how can anyone respect what you do?”

- Miranda Lambert

The only road to be happy with your business, is to respect your values. But first, you need to commit to some values.

When you give up on your values, you can’t never come back to repair what you have done. Success doesn’t taste as good when it’s tainted with wrong doing.

Even if you’re the only one to know what you gave up to reach success, it’s more than enough to hunt you on your death bed.

It’s always better to build following your values then without. You sleep better at night.

Control...

Have an open mind!

Reasoning can become too serious.

Choose to believe and go ahead. Take action and do your best.

“There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.”

- Friedrich Nietzsche

Sorry, you can’t control everything.

But you can control how you react to what is happening.

Learn

School is the basic, don’t end your education there.

« Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is.”

- Isaac Asimov

Learning is the way to being young.

You never get old when you find the motivation to learn something new.

Take Action!!!

Success is made up with results that are coming from actions.

You need to take action if you want to have some hope of reaching any kind of success.

You’ll fail.

You’ll have hard times.

But it will make it all so much better when you’ll reach success.

When you reach success, share it with the ones who helped you to get there. You’ll build a relation with those people that will last a life time.

Yes, there’s others people out there working their best to reach success. 

Half of them will quit before the end of the month. 

Half of the ones that kept going on will quit before the end of the year. 

Among the ones that kept going on, you’ll find some of the people that will reach success.

Success is linked to result. It’s the total of the results that will bring success.

Success is not linked to time, but results are.

So, success is linked to time in relation with the results.

No results comes out from being idle. Get out there and build your success.

Take action!

Living

Life is for living, not for working.

We are in charge of our life. If you don’t like the life you have, do something about it.

“The knowledge that we are responsible for living the life we have is our most powerful tool.”

- Srikumar Rao

Yes, we all need to work to get what we want. But we have to be open to the possibilities of using a different path. Even if you don’t see the path, go on and start to move. The path will come to you.

“There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”

- Nelson Mandela

Follow your guts. They’ll tell you if your path is good or not. Don’t settle for the easy path if you know it’s wrong. Sometimes the easy path can be the one you need to use, but most of the time it’s not.

The easy path are usually the ones that is used by most people. That’s the reason why most fail using them.

What you want...

Nothing is accomplish when you don’t know what you want.

“The starting point of all achievement is desire.”

- Napoleon Hill

Do you know what you want!

Get busy to find what you want!

You’ll never achieve anything if you don’t know what you want.

Positive

Most people think its ok to bash and whine about anything. It’s not because a lot of people are doing it, that it’s a good thing.

“It's easy to get negative because you get beat down. You go through a few disappointments and it's easy to stay in that negative frame of mind. Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is a whole cliche, but your attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.”

- Joel Osteen

A lot of people think that positive people are not living in reality. No one can deny the reality of what happened, but everyone can choose how to respond to it.

Positivity is not denying reality. It’s a way of thinking. It’s a way of filter what we take from reality (we all filter reality to some point). It’s a conscious choice to be positive.

“Positive anything is better than negative nothing.”

- Elbert Hubbard

Being negative is not easier. It seems easier because we’re used to be negative. But if we would have had the chance to be more positive in our childhood, it would seems easier to us as we become an adult.

“Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results.”

- Willie Nelson

Even the most negative people will talk about getting positive result. So, we all want positive result however how positive we are.

What the negative people don’t understand is that they work against themselves. Negative will always work against the positive. If you want positive result, better be as much positive as you can in order to get what you want.

Free

Free yourself! Let go of all the things that has been done to you.

The only person who is affected with your hate, is you.

“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.” - Lewis B. Smedes

Whatever you do will come back to you three times. Whatever you do to yourself will come back three times. When you forgive, you set yourself on the path of happiness.

Forgive, be nice, be good and help. You will never need to ask for anything.

bad

Doing bad thing...  even for a good reason...  it’s not right.

“Do not do an immoral thing for moral reasons.”

- Thomas Hardy

The moment you step into the bad action, you step into a path of pain and despair.

Most will fake morality. They think that if no one’s knows its ok.

The wrong you do, you know about it. You can’t lie to yourself.

The wrong you do will bring wrong to you.

Commitment

Commitment to your business should never be taken lightly.

If you commit to your business all the time. What does it means?

-         You promote your business displaying your logo or brand in your everyday life.

-         You always have a business card on you to give away when people ask about your business.

-         You give away pen, t-shirt, coffee mug, baseball cap and anything with your logo on it. You see give away as a business investment.

-         You put more time into promoting your business than anything else.

-         You associate yourself with your business. When someone see you, they think about your business.

-         You use your name in every admin letter you send. People want to be in touch with real people.

-         Become someone who’s easy to talk to. Make yourself the guy (or girl) that people want to be around and talk about anything.

“You always have two choices: your commitment versus your fear.”

- Sammy Davis, Jr.

If you fear presenting your business to others, maybe you should get back working for someone else.

Half commitment will never give half the result as a full commitment. If you don’t go all the way with it, then you won’t get the result you should get.

“Once you have commitment, you need the discipline and hard work to get you there.”

- Haile Gebrselassie

When you commit fully to your business, the hard work is still hard. But you feel a lot better when you get the good result.

Just one

It always start with one. Just one.

When you feel good about doing something, don't delay, do it now.

It only takes one moment to get the feeling that it wasn't such a good idea.

Then a few month later, you see someone doing exactly what you imagined and making it big.

How many times will you let someone else get the fame for an idea that you got?

How many more do you need to take action?

Don't wait! Go on and do it!

Become

“Thought become things… Choose the Good Ones!”

- Mike Dooley

There’s no way around this, what you think, you get.

Dare to think you can do it and you’ll give yourself the best chances.

Even if you have doubts, keep on telling yourself that you can. Doing so will build your belief. At first, you’ll feel like it’s a lie. But if you keep on doing it, you’ll start to believe in it.

Life

Life is there for you to be explore.

Have an open mind to experience new things.

“Life is now a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.”

- Soren Kierkegaard

Learn something new every day and you’ll never get old.

Waking up smiling. Go to bed smiling. Keep yourself hungry for new knowledge and new experiences.

5 Reason we fail with our home business

We see people that are successful in business and we want to join in and become one of the successful people.

But in reality, having your own business is not a guaranty of success. It’s far from it.

Here I’m listing 5 common reasons that we fail in our home business:

1.     We give up too soon. Overnight success is a myth. Dig up a little and you’ll find that there’s a lot of work behind it.

2.     We don’t stick out enough. We’re not enough remarkable. Don’t be average. Promote you and your business in everything you do.

3.     We don’t focus enough. Don’t try to build too many business at the same times. Build one and put all your energy into it.

4.     We don’t use the tools. YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and all the others. Learn to use them and do it. Set time in your daily work to promote in those programs (choose one or two).

5.     We’re lazy. Snap out of it and get to work. No secret. Get to work. Do it now! Lazy will not get you anywhere.
