Who's
Master Of Your Destiny?
Make Sure It's You!
Are You A Talker Or a Doer?
Like it or not, the world is
composed of two types of people - talkers and doers.
Which one are you?

About 10 years ago, a friend of mine made a life-altering
decision. She had been presented with an opportunity to spend
one year as an exchange student in Europe, in several different
countries. Now, she didn't exactly come from a family of world
travelers, nor were her parents wealthy enough to send her
overseas for an extended amount of time. Come to think of
it, no one in her poor neighborhood had even dreamed of doing
such a thing - they were to busy struggling with their day-to-day
existence.
The temptation to not consider it any further was certainly
very strong. She had no idea what she might be getting into;
She didn't know any foreign languages. Going overseas for
a year meant not working, spending lots of her hard-earned
savings (and in her neighborhood, that meant a lot!) and leaving
behind family and friends, something that she had never done
before. More importantly, when she would come back, she'd
come back broke.
She went back and forth for quite a while. In then end, she
said, "what the heck - the worst that can happen is
that I hate it and come home early. Who knows when I'll have
this kind of time again?" Her curiosity was getting
the best of her. She called her school counselor. "Sign
me up", she said.
Needless to say, her family thought she was crazy and didn't
believe she was actually going until she scraped together
her meager savings and left for the airport two months later.
Lessons Learned
Initially, the trip across the pond was a total disaster.
To begin with, the airline bumped her entire group - 50 people
- leaving her to find other airlines to get to Europe. With
her luck, she ended up on the later flight. Then, she ended
up spending 10 hours in the airport before she finally left.
She was thinking that she probably should have listened to
all the people that told her she was crazy to go. She arrived,
exhausted and with a mean case of jetlag in Europe the next
day; she got to her apartment and passed out.
A funny thing happened the next day. After getting out and
exploring a bit, she discovered that she actually liked Europe.
It was so easy to travel and get around. She found her way
to the nearest travel agency and bought a train pass.
The next week, she traveled to a few countries - all on her
own, because several students were too afraid to travel outside
the "base" country. This isn't to say that she wasn't
apprehensive, because she was; however, she made a conscious
decision to overcome her fear because she wanted to find out
what else was out there. She wanted to know what was beyond
the sheltered world that she had once known. She discovered
that train travel across Europe was quite easy and safe, if
one just used common sense. After the first week, she traveled,
alone, to a different country every week. She felt a newfound
sense of independence, freedom, accomplishment and success
that she had never felt before, and it felt great!
Her year in Europe was a real eye opener for her. It exposed
her to things that she would never have experienced otherwise.
She would never have experienced different cultures, systems,
met as many new people or learned that she had a very adventurous
spirit and thirst for knowledge. And she would have never
met her future husband. They ended up running his restaurant
together, quite successfully, in Berlin for another year,
before they both returned to the States. She was not as broke
as she had imagined she would be!
What's the lesson from all this? Don't let fear hold you back
- nothing great is ever accomplished without some risk. Fear
is what keeps 99% of people from becoming successful in life.
Don't let that happen to you - know what you want and go for
it!
What You Need To Know
Attaining
success in life is completely up to you. Sure, there are some
factors that you just can't control. The answer? Don't worry
about them - worry about factors that you can
control - you and your actions and your
thinking.
Points To Remember:
- Be open to all possbilities. Don't
discount an idea just because it seems new to you.
- Don't let fear of failure dominate
you, although it can be very powerful. Fear is what stops
99% of people from being successful.
- Recognize that sometimes you have to
take a risk - successfully negotiating risk-taking is
what makes one successful in the long run.
- Always keep an eye out for new opportunities.
Success in life is about
finding inner peace, satisfaction and emotional stability.
You can't achieve that until you change your thinking, start
thinking out of the box and take some risk. This applies to
business as well as to your personal life.
You've got to be able to step out of your "comfort zone".
Some Of The Pillars Of Success:
- Plan your work, and work your plan!
- Strive for excellence. Set your own
goals - don't try to reach the goals of others
- Make a commitment and stick to it!
- Accept that disappointments are a fact
of life. Instead of allowing them to hold you back, overcome
them and you will become stronger.
- Turn every experience, whether good
or bad, into a learning experience.
- Live each day as if it were your last;
have no regrets.
Some Final Words
..
There
are more talkers than doers in our society. Which one are
you? Do you wait for things to happen, or do
you make them happen? If you think that things
will happen for you if you just think about it and
fail to take action, I have bad news for you. They won't.
The only thing worse than procrastinating for a day is procrastinating
for a day and a minute.
It's time to stop thinking about making a change to
ensure your future success and time to do something about
it. Starting a home based business if the first step that
you need to be willing to take - for your financial independence,
your financial security and that of your family.
If you don't look out for you,
who will? I have the answer - no one. If you are ready to
take control of your destiny then now is the time to start.
I can show you the way - but it is up to you to make the decision
to change your life for the better and take that first step.
