H ow do y ou st a y m ot iva t e d?
Som e of us don’t hav e t he su ppor t syst e m w e require t o encourage us t o keep going… I s your wife or fam ily not really behind you? They oft en don’t even underst and w hat you’re doing online and j ust w ish you’d get a real j ob or focus on m aking m oney offline in your regular j ob… and w ant you t o spend t he rest of t he t im e doing chor es ar ound t he house or relaxing w it h t he friends and fam ily.
They see you spe n din g h ou r s u pon h ou r s in front of t he com put er, but t here is not hing t o show for it . No m oney anyw ay…
Are you accused of ignoring your responsibilit ies offline?
Could you be m aking m ore m oney if you w eren’t online?
Are you being a financial burden on your fam ily and can you not convince ot hers t hat w hat you are doing is even going t o pay off?
H ow do y ou st a y m ot iva t e d u n de r t h e se con dit ion s?
I t is VERY easy t o want t o give up and count yourself as a failur e… t o m ope, cry and let it affect everyt hing in your life when you j ust can’t get t he
business m oving and m aking m oney.
I t ’s difficult t o concent rat e. I t ’s difficult t o do anyt hing at all…
I am going t o provide you som e answ ers here t hat w ill help you get your arm s around how t o get and st ay m ot ivat ed… even wit h all t he pressures in your environm ent and t he w orld w orking against you.
Th e On lin e Ju n gle – Th e Ch a lle n ge s W e Fa ce
Let ’s face it , no m at t er how easy t he gurus, sales hype and m any m ake it look online, it isn’t . Let m e t ell you a lit t le secret about m yself…
I work m y behind off! ! I have w orked long hours t o reach t he level of success I have…
The first challenge w e face when we com e online is t o find t he right
infor m at ion t hat isn’t j ust going t o t ake your m oney AND t o produce result s as quickly and efficient ly as possible.
Trial and Error… All t he people you see having success online… st ruggled and failed along t he w ay… up or even addict ed t o socializing online. And you spin your w heels…
Guess w hat ? I found success w it hout spending t housands on sem inars and info product s… im agine t hat !
H a n dlin g t h e Em ot ion a l Rolle r Coa st e r …
So t hrough all t his, you have t o cont rol your em ot ions and psychological t endencies…
One day you w ill be up. Maybe you m ade a big sale… or your first sale! And t hen a few days lat er you are grum bling and m iserable because you can’t replicat e it or… you suffer ed a loss or set back of som e kind.
This can happen for weeks, m ont hs or ev en years…
I t doe sn ’t h a ve t o la st ye a r s… This Report is about how t o approach online business or how t o for ge your w ay t o success, but m any of you w ill st ruggle for long periods of t im e before you break t hrough…
You m ight m ake t housands on an opport unit y… t he cash m ay st art flowing in like crazy, but t hen… not hing. Mont hs lat er you ar e st ruggling t o m ake on sale.
The highs and low s can t ake a real t oll on not only you, but your fam ily… and your financial sit uat ion.
We m ight feel like a conqueror one day and a poor peasant loser t he next .
We m ay have a st ring of winners, but t hen…
Then t he failures…
H ow D o W e Ge t a H a n dle On Fa ilu r e ?
Failur e can be crippling t o som e. Som e can’t handle it … som e don’t know how t o overcom e it …
The biggest problem is som e don’t underst and it .
You se e , fa ilu r e is n ot a ba d t h in g… not really. Failure m eans you did som et hing and got a result ! I t ’s what you do wit h t hat result t hat now m at t er s…
All sales rely on num bers… and you can lit erally predict out com es if you know t hose num bers.
You r fin a n cia l de st in y… w hat is it ? Have you decided?
You’ve heard t hat saying… m aybe not :
I bargained w it h Life for a penny, And Life w ould pay no m ore, How ever I begged at evening, When I count ed m y scant y st ore.
For Life is a Ju st Em ploy e r,
He gives you w hat you ask,
But once y ou have set t he w ages, Why, you m ust bear t he t ask.
I w orked foe a m enial’s hire, Only t o learn, dism ayed,
Th a t a n y w a ge I h a d a sk e d of Life , Life w ou ld h a ve w illin gly pa id.
Power ful st uff… what have you decided or asked life for?
We are not born wit h a financial dest iny im plant ed in us… w e decide… w e m a k e t h e de cision t o be r ich or poor. YOU…
I f you decide you w ant t o j ust get by in life… chances are you w ill.
I f you decide you aren’t cut out for m aking a lot of m oney & it ’s only reser ved for t hose w it h sm art s… you w on’t m ake a lot of m oney.
You de cide !
Right now … Aft er you read t he follow ing paragraph st op r eading for about 3 m inut es and t hink.
I w ant you t o t hink about w hat you are bargaining for… w hat have you asked ‘life’ for. Ask your self if it is enough. Look at your life now and t hink about your fut ure. Everyt hing your heart desires… is t hat w hat you have set out t o do? Or have you set t led for m ediocrit y…?
St op n ow a n d t h in k a bou t t h a t … even j ot dow n on a piece of paper your t hought s so you can refer ence t hem lat er.
OK…
W h a t did you le a r n a bou t you r se lf? Are you challenging yourself enough? Are you forget t ing about t he obst acles t o get t here and deciding w hat you w ant based on your dream s?
The road m ay not be easy… but rem em ber:
PETER MARSHALL
When we long for life wit hout difficult ies, r em ind us t hat oaks grow st rong in cont rary w inds and diam onds are m ade under pressure…
Pr e ssu r e is n ot a ba d t h in g… st ress can reap great t hings… challenges m ake us st ronger and obst acles are t he building blocks t hat w ill shape our success in t he end.
Som e day year s from now you will look back at your life. At t hat t im e, if you ask yourself, “ Am I sat isfied wit h t he road I t ook; could I have done m ore?” how w ill you answ er t hat ?
* * * Re m e m be r , t h e pa in is t e m por a r y , t h e r e su lt s a r e for e ve r * * *
W h a t de cision s h a ve you m a de ?
Wit hout a decision, t here is not direct ion in our act ivit ies…
Why am I t elling you t his and som e of t hese ot her t hings? You m ight be t hinking… “ I t hought t his Report w as about m ot ivat ion! ?”
Well… M ot iva t ion ca n be fou n d, bu t m ot iva t ion by it se lf w ill n ot le a d t o a bou n t ifu l h a r v e st !
You can be really m ot ivat ed t o do t hings, but if t he act ions you are t aking are m isguided, t he result s will be useless or even dam aging. This is w hy t he decisions you m ake are so im port ant . And it ’s also w hy t he right decisions are so im port ant .
How do you m ake a decision of w hat direct ion t o t ake w it h your business online? How do you m ake a decision t o reach for t he t ype of success t hat right for YOU?
So m any people don’t t ake t he t im e out .
Can I t ell you som et hing? I hope so… I f I can’t I ’m going t o anyw ay! ☺
Many of us don’t t ake t he essent ial t im e w e need t o concent rat e on our t hrough w ast e lands and t errible environm ent s.
All our rivers also are fed by st r eam s and sm aller rivers… t hese are t hings t hat affect our decisions. Som e go unnot iced and j ust blend in… not really affect ing t he flow ; pure enough t o blend w it h t he current m ixt ure and current …
Ot her s push in quickly and disr upt t he flow… m aybe t he river will carr y wit h it periodic disrupt ions in t he flow … sw ells… an increase in current and rapids.
Som e m ay bring poison… som e life.
Tr a n sfor m in g You r Th ou gh t s…
Hopefully you are gr asping t hese im port ant building blocks. Wit hout t hem m ot ivat ion falls flat .
We all com e fr om different backgrounds. Som e of us st ruggle in life… ot her have everyt hing handed t o us. Som e of us com e fr om a loving and
support ive fam ily; som e of us are in a cont inuous st at e of fight ing and live in negat ive environm ent s…
No m at t er what your past hist or y is… no m at t er t he environm ent you live in now… You have been given t he abilit y by God t o t ransfor m your t hought s.
You w ere born hum an. Hum an’s have t he abilit y t o self- dir ect . And it ’s as easy t o dir ect our m inds negat ively as posit ively.
BUT it t akes a shift of t hinking. You need t o STOP!!
St e p ba ck a n d m a k e a de cision . I f you are dow n… decide t o concent rat e on get t ing up. I f your environm ent is m ost ly negat ive, concent rat e on only t he lit t le bit of posit ive… They can t ake your body, but t hey can’t t ake your spirit and m ind! !
Righ t dow n you r goa ls… right dow n w ho you w ant t o be. Repeat t o your self everyday your desires. Rem ind yourself everyday t hat you are special and t hat your environm ent doesn’t decide w ho you are… not your past … not your present . I t ’s bet w een you and God.
That ’s it ! Eve r yt h in g a r ou n d you is t e m por a r y. I t doesn’t have t o be perm anent .
I KN OW W H AT SOM E OF YOU ARE TH I N KI N G!! That ’s easy for you t o say! You don’t underst and m y sit uat ion.
True… I don’t know w hat you are going t hrough. I know w hat I ’ve been t hrough… and I can guarant ee if I didn’t em ploy t he t hings I ’m t eaching you in t his guide… I w ouldn’t be t eaching t he t hings I ’m t eaching you in t his guide! I w ouldn’t even be here.
We all have our ow n dem ons and obst acles t o overcom e. BUT… t here is help out t here…
No m at t er w hat your sit uat ion t hough, applying t he t hings in t his guide w hole heart edly will help you… it w ill.
As Zig Zigle r on ce sa id:
Posit ive t hinking w ill let you do everyt hing bet t er t han negat ive t hinking will.
So W h a t Ar e t h e 5 Se cr e t s?
Well m y friend… We’ve t ouched on a few above. Let ’s go deeper…
1 . D e cision s…
Yes! That is t he first secret . You m ust decide t o be m ot ivat ed.
Don’t look around you… it ’s not a physical revelat ion.
I t ’s not in a book or w ebsit e… it ’s not at a sem inar. I t ’s not cont ained in an audio or visual present at ion.
I t ’s in you r m in d.
Repeat aft er m e, “ I w ill let m yself be m ot ivat ed” .
I t does t ake som e effort … it m eans t uning out t he dist ract ions. I t m eans planning t o w ork and w orking t he plan.
You have t o decide it ’s t im e t o put down your doubt s and fear s… you have t o decide t o give up som e t hings. Mot ivat ion is dependent on t he decision t o let your self be m ot ivat ed.
That ’s t he fir st secret .

2 . “Act in g a s I f”… you ’ve a lr e a dy a t t a in e d it .
Not ice a lot of t his is m ent al… it has not hing t o do w it h your physical surroundings or t he com pany you keep.
“ Act ing as if” is a powerful effort .
AND visualize t hat you have already achieved it … and act as if you have...
I f you are poor… if you are beat en dow n… if life has given you a raw deal. You ARE NOT going t o be affect ive picking your self back up if you rem ain in t hat st at e.
Take care of yourself… Creat e t he person you w ant t o be.
Act lik e t h e pe r son you w a n t t o be . Don’t com plain t o people about your problem s. Work on your problem s. At t ack t hem know ing t hey are only t em porary… be confident in t he end result by act ing as if it is inevit able. Act as if you have already accom plished t hat r esult .
Com b your hair. Carry your head high.
H e lp ot h e r s… help ot hers. Forget about your problem s. Concent rat e on lift ing ot hers up. I n doing t his, you can forget about your t roubles.
Do business like you know what you are doing… m aybe you don’t ! Maybe you are unsure of yourself.
All t he t im e I hear… “ I ’m a Newbie” … “ I ’m a Newbie so I apologize in advance! ”
St op! I t ’s OK if you are a New bie, but loose t he new bie m indset . Don’t
keep repeat ing it t o yourself… You know som et hing? I t ’s j ust quest ions… even t he expert s have quest ions.Concent rat e on t he building blocks. Don’t w orry about not underst anding how t hey all fit t oget her; in t im e you’ll underst and. I n t he m eant im e…
Act As I f… Th e Re st You W ill Fin d Ou t .
Act like you have already achieved and w at ch w hat happens… Alliances em erge… Joint Vent ures em erge… becom e t he person people w ant t o know . People don’t want t o hang around people t hat are in t he dum ps.
Be com e a su cce ss m a gn e t by a ct in g lik e a su cce ss!
…You don’t have t o have lot s of m oney t o be successful. Again… it ’s a st at e of m ind.
3 . Pla n …
I t doesn’t have t o be com plex. Take an hour… j ot dow n som e not es.
But have at least a pr et t y good idea of what it will t ake…
Maybe part of t hat plan includes cont inuing educat ion. You don’t have t o know ever yt hing t o find m ot ivat ion and t o forge ahead!
A per son wit h a plan is a person t hat can m ake decisions t hat will help t hem achieve t he goals t hey have set quicker and easier.
I f you don’t have a plan, how do you know w hat decisions t o m ake along t he w ay?
Pu t Toge t h e r A Pla n so t h a t M ot iva t ion W ill H a ve a M a p t o Follow …
4 . V isu a liz e
See yourself achieving t he prize…
See yourself w alking dow n t hat pat h…
Visualize yourself as w ho you w ant t o be…
I t a ll t ie s in t oge t h e r . Your m ent al m indset m ust believe in w hat you are doing. You can’t m ove forw ard unless your m ind sees t he road.
Visualizat ion…
Make a list … m ake an out line… m ake som e not es.
Review t hem oft en. See your self t aking on t he different st ages t o get w here you w ant t o go. Think about it …
I f you do t his enough… everyday, your m ind w ill t ake cont rol of t hose t hought s…
You will find yourself driving your car t hinking about your fut ur e…
You will find yourself in t he show er solving problem s…
You w ill find your m ind w ondering w hile doing t he dishes…
I t sh ou ld be com e you r pa ssion … A st r ong desir e t hat develops out of a focused and deliberat e effort t o visualize your pat h.

You now know w hat you need m ent ally.
Th e 5
t hse cr e t m ight act ually surprise you…
Act ion … Com bin e d w it h fa it h ?
This last secret involves forget t ing everyt hing I have t old you up unt il now …
Yes… you m ust wor k on all t hose t hings if you are going t o st ay m ot ivat ed and m ake a bet t er life for yourself and t o achieve your heart s desires…
BUT… NONE of it will j ust happen.
You m u st a ct .

You don’t get m ot ivat ed t o act , you act and get m ot ivat ed.

Everyt hing in t his Report involves act ion…
You m ust act in order t o decide…
You m ust act t o fail…
