What are your goals? Your Vision for this new year?
I thought I would just share something that has a lot of meaning and understanding. Make sure and spend the time viewing the video in this post that I made a while back.

We are in tough economic times…… and now more than ever people are thinking about how they can make more money. Whether you’ve been downsized and let go from your job, you’ve been demoted, your income was cut or you just aren’t making enough working full time to pay all the bills. Well if you’re like most people, you’re looking for a way to make more money. And guess what….you are defiantly not alone.
One of the first things many people think of when they want a job or career that pays better is….better education….better pay. Going back to school is the answer! Most people are finding that it’s just not that easy to find a job that pays well without a degree and no matter their age they believe that going back to school is the best and sometimes only option.
Really?
“Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.” — Jim Rohn.
However, most people who find the home based business industry discover it’s much better and a more cost effective way to make more money. And instead of waiting for years to earn a degree you can start earning money from home in your first month. Will it be hard? Do you think going back to school is easy?
“Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.” — Abraham Lincoln.
Did you know, building a business from home can take less time than going back to school and it will allow you to still be at home with your spouse and children instead of off in a classroom after work. Paying someone in daycare to watch your children grow up….not a good feeling huh?
Most home based businesses are set up now to accommodate people who need to start making money right away. You won’t get rich overnight but you can very possibly be making an extra $500 – $1000 in your first month alone and sometimes even more!
I remember going from zero to $5,000 a month in just 5 short months!
So think about it…..the option of working from home has huge advantages over going back to school because in the time it takes you to get a new degree you could be working from home full time and making more money than a regular job is likely to provide.
So if you must increase your income and you believe that going back to school is your only option think again! Build a business from home and you can make more money in a shorter amount of time than you may have ever thought possible. It is truly the best option for people who need more money and need it now!

Having a home based business, that’s making you great money, gives you a lot of freedom. You can pretty much do what you want… when you want… and with whom you want. However, there are a few things that you absolutely must have before you begin working a growing an income from your home based business.
The list I have below isn’t in any order and they are the must haves!
1. A Desire To Work
Yeah, this sounds like a no brainer but you would be SHOCKED at the amount of people who claim they want to work from home but they don’t want to do anything to accomplish it. If you don’t have a good work ethic or you just want some easy money a home based business is not for you because it’s not always going to be easy.
2. The Right Skill Set
So many people start a home based business and have no idea how to talk to people effectively. They don’t know specifically what to do. They get all the wrong training and use all the wrong tools. Wouldn’t it be better to get more yes’s than no’s? Wouldn’t it be better to be the person people want to work with? Wouldn’t it be better to have the right online tools to make things more automated and professional? Developing the right skill set is critical!
3. A Computer And The Ability To Use It
The internet makes working from home so much easier. If you don’t have a computer you need to get one because online is where the money is! And if you have a computer but you don’t know how to use it you need to get a friend/ family member in there to teach you right away because the old days of offline marketing are pretty much dead. Oh and there are great online resources for learning how to use computers.
4. SMART Goals
If you want success you must first define success! Know what success really means to you. Maybe it’s $100,000 a year or maybe it’s just an extra $1000 every month to help pay bills… whatever your goals are they should be clear and specific.
5. Calendaring and Scheduling
If you don’t have a schedule you’ll have a really hard time getting everything done when you need to get it done. Life is hectic so don’t wait to work on your business when you have the time because that’s never going to happen. You have to purposely set aside time from your week and make it happen no matter what! Use a calendar and ensure your family knows the times you will be working.
6. A Cell Phone
This is pretty much a given since almost everyone on the planet has a cell phone but if you don’t… get one! This will allow you to work your business on the go. You don’t have to be chained to a desk you can get out and start living and make money at the same time!
7. A Team
Having a team allows for such powerful income growth! Teams can brainstorm, they can get in front of more people, and they can assist with credibility. Teams allow for everyone to succeed, as long as everyone on the team knows their position or place. Building teams isn’t easy, and relying on teams is sometimes tuff. Don’t try to go it alone, develop your own team and watch your income soar!

Many people in the Network Marketing arena loosely use the term 80/20 rule? Well, if you haven’t heard it yet, you are going to now!
The 80/20 rule is better known scientifically as the Pareto principle. Yep here comes my engineering background again. Basically, the principle is a “vital few and trivial many”. That 20 percent of something will be the driving force behind 80 percent of results. This principle or rule can be applied to just about anything.
For example, on a sports team, it’s the star players that are going to be scoring the most points and bringing in the wins. I’m sure you’ve noticed that it’s always one player that wins the game, right. Although it’s a TEAM sport, there is always that one player that chalks up the win. The other players, the ones that serve as back up, also contribute to the team’s success, but not nearly as much. There are always a few stars that contribute the most, and several back ups that contribute significantly less. This concept can be pointed directly at your home based Network Marketing or Internet Marketing business!
The 80/20 rule can be applied to your business in a couple of different ways, and you should be aware of and make use of both. The idea here is to run your business like the pulled-together, organized expert that you are. And if you don’t feel quite like an expert yet, keep working at becoming an expert!
First let’s look at the 80/20 rule as it applies to your downline. I bet you can already figure out where I’m going with this. Your downline is a resource. Your downline helps you grow your business. If you have 100 people in your downline, it’s a fairly sure bet that 20 of those people are going to account for about 80 percent of your business. 20% of your downline likely accounts for 80% of your income. And the other 80% accounts for only 20% of your income.
So what are the other 80 of your downline members up to? They’re working, too. But they may not have mastered what it means to be a top producer yet, so they aren’t bringing in the big results. They may never be star producers, but that doesn’t mean you should give up on them or kick them off the team. That only means that there is work to be done. Plus, these 80 downline members are essential for you to find your key 20!
With your top producers, don’t assume that they are fine and that they can take care of themselves and need no help or coaching. While they may be doing very well, it’s still your job to provide constant support, encouragement and training to them.
And what about the 80 percent that is lagging behind? Well, it’s time for you to kick things into high gear! First of all, remember that some people are going to be slow starters. It’s up to you to keep in touch with them and offer them as much training and support as possible. Remember that a slow starter today could be tomorrow’s star.
Next, you can apply the 80/20 rule to general work practices – of all the work you put in to your business only about 20% will account for 80% of your income. It is your responsibility to figure out and focus on the key 20%.
For both you and your downline, it’s important to take the time to look at work activities and figure out what is working well, what could be working better, and what’s taking up valuable time and producing little, if any good results.
If you find work activities that are necessary, but that are holding you down because you’re not skilled at them, or you dislike doing them, what can you do to work smarter at them? Do you need to hire help? Often, by hiring someone to help you with tasks that should be helping, but aren’t, you can increase the overall productivity in your business and turn that task into one which makes a difference.
Now, when you find a work activity that has turned into a complete waste of time, and is definitely not in the top 20 percent of results-getting business activities, ask yourself why this is and whether you just need to dump the task and focus on things that are working well.
Make it work!
The 80/20 rule can be applied to your downline and your work ethics and tasks.
Focus on that top 20 percent that are producing 80 percent of the results.
With your downline, see if you can help some of your slow-starters get a fire burning inside themselves to become stars. And with your work ethics, take time to learn how to fine tune your tasks and work smarter, not harder.

Have you ever let Fear stop you from doing something? Fear of failing or even Fear of Success!
This Fear leads to many things and most importantly procrastination.
We have all experienced this at some point in our careers, right? Either in our real job, network marketing and MLM lives, or our Internet Marketing at home businesses. Did you know that this experience of procrastination and related fear go hand in hand and produce pain. Mostly sub-conscious mind pain.
Fear! I’m sure you have heard the definitions before….people have told you Fear is defined as False Expectations Appearing Real or Actually Realized. Speaks for itself don’t you think? Consciously we all know that in our experiences, when we face our fears they are not really as bad as we originally thought; thus, false expectations appearing real or actually realized.
Ok….so you’re probably wondering….What does this have to do with procrastination or even network marketing, MLM or even Internet Marketing?
Procrastination is the putting off of tasks that we don’t really wish to do, that are distasteful, and especially the things we are afraid of attempting. Cold calling, setting appointments or the calling of leads would be a great example.
You know how that phone call involves picking up that one ton receiver, dialling a strange number, with the unknown on the other side? OMG! Do I really know what to say? Maybe no one will answer and I will have dodged that bullet. What if someone does answer and then I will need to actually talk to them? I know I only have two to four seconds to make a positive impression. And only 30 seconds for them to make their decision! How will I posture myself? Can I posture myself? What the heck does that really mean anyway?
What about that face to face meeting? That email I have to right? That website I have to build? That honey do list that’s been waiting on me for weeks? With all that’s involved we just completely put off and procrastinate making any kind of progress!
Now the pain sets in. We’ve just gone through all of this self induced anxiety and decided not to do anything so we procrastinate for just one more day. Oh! And that makes us feel like we’ve once again failed in our personal and business life. Another defeat in working our home based business. OMG! I’m never going to make this business work. My spouse will think I am a loser because I can’t get the work completed she wants me to. Maybe I’ll just go read some more motivational books. Yea! That’s the ticket! Perhaps I must work on my attitude! Make better goals! Develop that dream board! Then I won’t have to think about this failure.
Positive thinking, and not stinkin’ thinkin’! Yea that’s it!
Are you kidding me! Our fear is there because we don’t have the “Skill Set”! Period!
You have no idea what to say or what to do!
Do you see the process here? Very simple but very devastating at the same time, right?
First we have the idea of having to do something to grow our business or personal life. Fear sets in and all of those fearful thoughts run through our head. At the same time the pain of the fear sets in and our imagination exaggerates the consequences, we start feeling the pain of anxiety and then we decide to just put it off for right now. We always tell ourselves we’ll be better off if we do it tomorrow especially after reading more motivational books, working on our attitude, and adjusting our goals.
Look at this! Who are we all fooling? We’re fooling ourselves with this thinking. Isn’t it clear how ridiculous this is? Logically, we all know this is just another part of negative thinking; stinkin’ thinkin’ which then becomes sub-conscious mind deterioration. Then we quit!
Wait a minute, back the boat up!
Quitting is not an option! We all have our aspirations, our dreams and visions are on the line here. We all know what strong financial potential network marketing, MLM and Internet Marketing have to offer. Like no other business model in the world, Network Marketing is gaining huge popularity. And with it, we can better our situation and help others do the same!
Are people in your business getting big monthly checks? So why aren’t you? It’s your “Skill Set”!
So what do we do? Simple! This is where personal growth comes into play. We have all heard your business will only grow as much as you do, right? It’s true….Although it’s your personal “Skill Set” growth that’s important!
Now is the time to get with your sponsor, enroller, upline, coach or mentor. Discuss your situation. Do what successful people are doing, and just listen in on what they say. Take good notes. But if they tell you to have a better attitude, set bigger goals, work on your presentation and just talk to more people….please run the other way! If they tell you this, find a better coach. Look for that mentor who will really share what’s wrong with the marketing training that’s out there today!
Fear, false expectations appearing real or actually realized.
Procrastination, putting off what we don’t want to do and know we should do.
This all leads to feelings of failure, lower self esteem, feelings of not being worthy of our own success………………Bull S&%t! I mean come on and get with it! Bang your head against the wall (ok I’m just kidding about the head thing)! This is something that can and will be overcome by those of us empowered with “what to do and what to say” in all the situations we find ourselves in. It is a temporary challenge or bump in the road.
I know what you’re thinking. People think Network Marketing and Internet Marketing are only for those who know what they are doing. The people with the knowledge and years of experience that become successful! How can I sell the Network Marketing model? Where do we start?
Well, we could start at the fact that you are a part of an awesome profession that literally keeps the world market afloat. Really? Yes, my friend, you are part of a profession that keeps currency and product exchanges happening every day. Amazing isn’t it? That’s the first thought you need to have in order to be successful in this industry. If you are not proud to be a professional marketer, you are in the wrong place. If you don’t have a passion or pride about something, do you really think you will put all your time and energy into growing it? Absolutely not!
This profession is not for the faint of heart. You’re going to hear the word no, lose money or have sign ups fall out at some point. In order to be successful, you have to understand this reality and be able to push yourself and move on. Let’s review why you’re here: You want to live life according to your own terms. You want to be home more often to spend time with family. You want to have funds available to put your family through the highest quality life they can have. Whatever your reason, you have to keep that at the front of your mind, because that is what is going to pull you through the trials you will encounter. You’re not a safe and secure person; quite contrary, you are a free and exciting person.
You need a good mentor and coach. I’ve said it before. Find someone who has had some success in the industry and emulate what they do. Have them teach you the right “Skill Set”, and that is all about what to do and what to say. They’ve already gone through a lot of hardships to get where they are today. Unless you’re in the mood to throw money away and waste time, by all means ignore this. However, if you want to succeed quickly and efficiently, you will be wise to seek out a mentor who will share their strategies to help you reach your goals.
It’s not your opportunity that sells, it’s you. Your product or opportunity is simply the icing on top of the cake. You can have the most life-changing product on the market, but if you are abrasive or incompetent, you are out of luck my friend. Invest in yourself before you invest in a bunch of products that deliver zero results. This means hooking up with the right mentor. Spending some bucks on books, CDs and listening in on webinars learning from the best is also an excellent way to enhance your skill set. Once you have the knowledge, you have the power!
Not all mentors are created equally! Please remember this!
Too many salespeople don’t practice what they want to say either in the camera or on the phone. They think they can simply wing it and be an effective marketer. These are the average people. The top producers practice how to close sales and definitely how to attract more people to them. Imagine if the president didn’t practice his speech. How loyal of a following do you think he would have if he had no conviction in his words simply because he didn’t prepare properly. Be part of the elite producers and practice.
The good news is that we can all get past this fear, procrastination, and anxiety that learning or doing something new brings. I think Nike has nailed it on the head. When faced with personal challenges, “just do it!”
Happy Marketing,

Nobody likes to be criticised, but unfortunately, it is something that we are bound to receive one time or another. Some of us respond positively with nobility and detachment, yet many others get offended and keep it in until it leads to unnecessary suffering. Dealing with criticism is an important life skill and through it, we have the opportunity to learn and improve ourselves.
Having what I would like to call….a successful sports background, I got criticized all the time. Coaches would yell at me, all the time, in an effort to push me and get the most they could out of me. I guess early on in my sports background, I didn’t think I had the qualities to be a leader. But thanks to thier persistance I developed those leadership qualities that I am able to teach others to obtain. I see it in my children today when they are playing sports. They don’t like criticism, I mean who does? So what I want to share with you are some tips to better handle any criticism you may encounter.
Tip #1 – Respond to the suggestions, not the tone of the criticism
People may make valuable criticism as suggestions. However, their tone and manner of criticism may appear aggressive or confrontational, and that is what we respond to rather than to the suggestions they are giving right? You must learn to separate the criticism from the style of criticism. Detach your emotions from the useful suggestions that may lie within that aggressive critcism.
Tip #2 – Value criticism
The problem we have quite often is that we don’t value criticism because we only value praise or recognition. You’re happy when people speak kind words, but miserable when they criticize right? But because criticism can be constructive, you can only progress by inviting it rather than expecting praise which might be insincere or non flattering.
Tip #3 – Don’t take it personally
This is the major problem which occurs with regard to criticism. When people criticize us directly, we should feel they are not criticizing our real self but just a misunderstood aspect of ourselves or what we may be trying to get across in conversation.
Tip #4 – Ignore false criticism
Sometimes we are criticized for no reason or justification and this can be painful. In cases like this, ignore it. If we remain silent and detached then the criticism is given no energy. But if we somehow fight it, we are giving it more importance than it deserves. Maintain a dignity that others will come to respect.
Tip #5 – Don’t react immediately
Responding too quickly because of feelings of anger or bruised pride may leave us regretting later on. Wait patiently and you will be able to rationalize and reflect in a calmer way.
Tip #6 – Always SMILE
Smiling, even if it is a fake one, can help us to relax more. It creates a more positive vibe. And if smiling actually aggravates the other person, then at least you know you’ve got one over on them.
Happy Marketing,

So…Who makes all the money in Network Marketing, MLM, and Internet Marketing? The person who gets in first right? What you are about to watch just may shock you!
I couldn’t have summed it up better than this. Tim Sales shares the truth about getting in first and who makes all the money in the home based business industry.
You see…everyone does Network Marketing…but not everyone gets paid for it!
Think about this statement for a moment. Have you ever recommended something as simple as a good book, or movie to a friend or relative? And if you have I’m sure the cinema owner sent you a referral check for your friend’s entry fee and concession stand purchases right? What about a restaurant? Have you ever shared with someone your last
experience at a restaurant that was a good experience?
DUH….light bulb just went off right?
Network Marketing, MLM, Direct Sales, Internet Marketing or whatever you want to call it is something we have been doing all our lives. It’s about promoting and recommending something good to other people. The only difference is Network Marketing pays us. I have been getting paid from my efforts in Network Marketing for over 15 years. I see it all the time though…..time and time again! People get started and have a little success and think they have arrived…they made it….now they only have to sit back and cash those checks that will keep getting bigger and bigger right.
Wrong!
These are the people that go around saying it doesn’t work. They should be going around saying….I tried it for a couple months, put in 2.5 hrs of effort and it only paid me a couple hundred dollars. Hmmmmm, that would be almost one hundred dollars an hour. Who do you know makes that kind of money at a job? Instead they bad mouth the whole work at home industry. I mean look around…..are you an NBA or WNBA star? Are there guys and gals making it to the NBA or WNBA? What about the NHL? Do you play in the NHL? Are there guys still being drafted into the NHL yearly? What about the NFL…….? Are you getting it?
With Network Marketing, you don’t need to be a genetically perfect subject to make it to the top of this industry. You must however be willing work. Yes you will fail. As with all successful people there will be some challenges. But with this wonderful industry of building relationships and friendships, you can learn the skills to reduce so many of the challenges. It’s time to learn the “Right Way” to do this business. Join my mailing list and be on my first alert for my trainings.
Remember, as in life…..you do nothing…..you get nothing. PERIOD!
Where do you want to be in 5 years?
Getting up out of bed to rush off to work, stressed out and just plain sick and tired?
OR
Getting up with your children putting on one of your many favorite baseball caps then making them breakfast, and talking with them about how their day is going to be and what you’ll be doing with them on the weekend.
It’s really your choice. Anyone can have this lifestyle. You only need the skills and daily consistent and persistent effort, towards your goal.

Many of these athletes overcame huge almost impossible obsticles to attain greatness. The only thing stopping you from becoming great in Network Marketing is YOU!
Yep I said it….YOU!

Everybody knows in order to make more, you must become more.
Abraham Lincoln said, “If you gave me six hours to chop down a tree, I’d spend the first four hours sharpening the axe.” In other words, he’d spend TWICE as much time working on HIMSELF than he would on the task.
Most accomplished people will tell you….all the know-how in the world is worth NOTHING without the correct mind-set.
So how do you get into the right mindset?
Well for most people, that word “mindset” makes them uncomfortable. Because most people in MLM never realize that they have everything they require to succeed in Network Marketing.
Most people do not fail in Network Marketing….they quit.
Failure in MLM is the blaming game of quitting.
Quitting is a Loser’s mindset.
Ya I know it sounds harsh. It’s true. Giving up and quiting is what the weak minded do!
Most new Network Marketers don’t have the proper mindset to get through the tough times. This is true for the entire Work From Home arena. Most folks develop that so called “Lottery” mindset. Thinking that MLM is a lottery and all they have to do is wait and hope for the win without doing any work.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Have you ever worked with people like this?
Take some time to watch the video below.
That video shows what it takes to have a Winner’s Mindset. I love Rocky!
The Winner’s Mindset is a mindset of knowing that no matter what happens in your life and career, you will keep getting up off the ground and continue to move forward till the finish line is in front of you, and most importantly, you cross it.
A new Network Marketer often tries playing the game. They are going to try MLM and see what happens. That is a Loser’s mindset. They make their mind up that they will give their new Network Marketing business a certain time frame (60 days usually….man that’s dumb), and if it doesn’t produce what they want it to, then they’re out.
They work their Network Marketing business on their terms, their time frame, not the terms nor time frame that MLM requires. And they expect massive success…..Ya OK…..Dumb, Dumb, Dumb! Is your head getting sore from banging it against the wall yet? Mine did…….LOL!
That is just plain WRONG.
Network Marketing requires you to have a “No matter what” mindset, and No Matter What, you will continue to work and do what is required till success shows up.
Success in MLM requires many things: Skillset, Mindset, Determination, Discipline, Attitude, Communication, Focus, Belief, and Action and so much more.
The Winner’s Mindset requires: Delayed Gratification
You MUST have patience. There is a learning curve to all new skills. You see it in careers, in jobs, in business, and it’s also here in Network Marketing. That’s why you must look at what your Mindset must be, as it will be tested during your early months of your business (that’s like the first 6, not the first 1 GOT IT).
Very Successful Network Marketers (those who earn in excess of 5 figures a month), have a mindset like a run away freight train running down a mountain. They simply will not be denied, nor stopped, nor slowed down. They are focused on “All out Massive Action” and will win “No Matter What”. Failure is not an option. They have mastered the “Skill Set”, and will not be denied success!
Hey that sounds like me……..anyway……these very same Very Successful Network Marketers do not take their business for granted. They saw it as their “way out” and went for it….but…..and here’s the BIG but……They continue to go for it!
Your learning reality must set in. You will get discouraged, frustrated, as all entrepreneurs do….that’s ok. It is part of the learning curve, and we all go through it. Your mindset must be strong! You must not be denied! It’s a must to stay connected to your support team!
Call your upline support team members or go out to lunch with them and see what they do when they get down.
Read a motivational book or listen to an inspiring cd, and see yourself succeeding in MLM.
And always remember this. It takes heart to be successful in anything. Never give up and never give in to your doubts….then you WILL succeed.
Have you ever thought about your future? Like where will you be in 10 years? Being all that you can be, is not only in the Army. I often see myself somewhat content with my life. Things are good! Every day I tell myself “I deserve more!” Just this one self talk moment drives me daily, and gets me up in the morning to aspire for more success in my life.
And here’s the thing. We’re all pelted with challenges. Some overcome and some submit. Honestly it shouldn’t even bother or even hinder us to becoming all we deserve to be. Aspirations as kids should continue to live within us, even though it would be short-lived or as long as we could hold on to the dream.
They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks…oh ya just watch me!
Here are 10 Personal Development questions to ask yourself. Write them down and read them regularly. That old dog will be jumping through hoops before you know it.
1. What do I really want or deserve?
The question of the ages. So many things you want to do with your life and so little time to even go about doing them during the day right? BS….we all have the same time in a day. You must learn to schedule your time. Find something you’re good at. It will help realize that small steps towards improvement is possible. Diligence is the key to know that it is worth it.
2. Should I really change?
Today’s generation has taken another level of redefining ‘self’, or at least that’s what the kids are saying. Having an army of teenage nieces and nephews has taught me that there are far worse things that they could have had than acne or maybe even promiscuity. So how does that fit into your lifestyle?
If history has taught us one thing, it’s the life that we have gone through. Try to see if partying Sixties, Seventies or Eighties style wouldn’t appeal to the younger generation, but dancing is part of partying. Watch them applaud after showing them how to really dance. My daughter still thinks I’m crazy everytime I get on a dance floor and “Takin Care of Business” is playing…..take that 8:15 to the city baby…..
3. What’s the bright side in all of this?
With so much happening around us there seems to be no room for even considering that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We can still see it as something positive without undergoing so much scrutiny. And if it’s a train at the end of the tunnel, take it for a ride and see what makes the world go round!
4. Am I comfortable with what I’m doing?
There’s always the easy way and the right way when it comes to deciding what goes with which shoes, shirt, tie, purse, and whatnot. It doesn’t take a genius to see yourself as someone unique, or else we’ll all be equally the same in everything we do. Variety brings in very interesting and exciting questions to be experimented.
5. Have I done enough for myself?
Have you, or is there something more you deserve to do? Discontentment in every aspect can be dangerous in large doses, but in small amounts you’ll be able to see and do stuff you could never imagine doing.
6. Am I happy at where I am today?
It’s an unfair question so let it be an answer! You love being a good and loving mom or dad to your kids, then take it up a notch! Your kids will love you forever. The same goes with everyday life!
7. Am I appealing to the opposite sex?
So maybe I don’t have an answer to that, but that doesn’t mean I can’t try it, though. Whether you shape-up, change the way you wear your clothes or hair, or even your attitude towards people, you should always remember it will always be for your own benefit. Not to appeal to others.
8. How much could I have?
I suppose in this case there is no such thing as having too much or too little. It’s more on how badly you really need it. Saying…I’d like to have lots of money, is fine, but the question is….how much are you willing to work for it?
9. What motivates me?
What motivates you? It’s an answer you have to find out for yourself. There are so many things that can make everyone happy, but to choose one of them may be the hardest part. It’s not like you can’t have one serving of your favorite food in a buffet and that’s it. Just try it piece by piece.
10. What Really Makes Me Tick?
So? What really makes you tick? You can be just about anything you always wanted to be, but to realize that attaining something that may seem very difficult is already giving up before you even start that journey. Always remember, that self-improvement is not just about the physical or philosophical change you have to undergo, but it’s something that you really deserve.
