The typical person goes to work every day because that’s what he did yesterday. Thus begins the mindless activities of the day. We are so busy being busy, there is no time for any thinking. Our days are on autopilot. We can mindlessly drive the same route, do the same routines, without a thought of how to do it. We can go through the motions of our daily work, with our minds  not even  engaged. If the only reason for going to work today, is to go to work and get a paycheck,  you will  probably be no more effective today than you were yesterday. The sad thing is,  many people who have been with a company for five years or more do not have five years’ experience. They have one year’s experience five times and no specific plans for making next year anything but a repeat performance.

“No steam or gas ever drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled. No life ever grows until it is focused, dedicated and disciplined.” Harry Emerson Fosdick.

The choices we make will ultimately determine how successful we are. If I were to ask everyone of you if you would like to succeed at something, if you would like to make a difference in the world around you, you would all answer YES we do want to make a difference. So my question then to you...What are you doing today to move towards that direction???

It is our everyday steps, our everyday actions, our everyday thoughts and plans that propel us into a brighter future, one of hope and excitement, one of fulfilment and a sense of accomplishment.

“The man who succeeds has a program. He fixes his course and adheres to it. He lays his plan and executes them. He goes straight to his goal. He knows where he wants to go and he knows that he’s going to get there. He loves what he’s doing and loves the journey that is taking him to the object of his desire. He is bubbling over with enthusiasm and he is filled with zeal. This is the man who succeeds.” Anonymous

With the never ending reports of our global economic down slide, it is easy for us to become focused on the problems and not the opportunities that are being developed. As we begin to open ourselves up to the millions of opportunities that are advancing in this day and age, we can then become optimistic once again.

Business opportunities are abounding, but you have to change your mindset to begin to see them, so that you can achieve the success that you are looking for. Its a fact that in any economy, good or bad, there are people who make money and people who lose money. This dynamic doesn’t change. The real question is , which economy is struggling….the worlds or your personal one?

Here are three elements to consider to ensure that you have success in your personal economy….

1. Begin by Recreating You and Your Mindset. You can do this by looking for the opportunity and not just seeing the problems. What you focus on will expand….So change your thinking and don’t get hung up on all the negative news, obstacles or barriers ahead of you. Always look for a solution.

Warren Buffet said ” This is the day I’ve been waiting for, for the last 10 years.” Why because he sees and knows that during the current economical meltdown, most business… are trying to just stay alive while others are booming. It’s the mindset, and how you see problems.

Don’t say “why is everything going up in price”….say “how can I make more money… what can I do to support my cost of living.” It’s all in the way that you look at it.

2. Starting YOUR Own Business…
Do some soul searching…What are you interested in??? Have you thought about starting your own business?? Would you like to work from home?? Be your own boss?? What are your hobbies?? What do you do that people need??? What can you do that most people don’t know how to???

Maybe you like stocks and investing…Want to learn how to make money online. The point is that whatever you do…learn all about it and begin to do something. Don’t just sit on the sidelines and at the end of another year WISH you had done something to improve your life.

3. Creating Positive Cash Flow…
If you ever thought about investing and trading…do the research and take the time to find out all the terminology that is involved. Learn the principals and the strategies that are involved. If you like real estate… look for some commercial options, maybe buying a apartment building or part of a small plaza where the tenants are strong. Consider places that you can rent out…

Success is all about attitude, knowledge and the willingness to learn and grow. Set yourself up to prosper and succeed…by taking action and making the changes that are necessary for your Successful Economy.

With Thanksgiving over and getting back on track with my business, I thought I would share a bit with you on the power of “ACTION”. Most of us know that the word action is an action verb which means to move or movement. So without sounding elementary….”What opportunities are you waiting for…What needs to line up before you take the action needed to move towards your goals and future? What is holding you back? What is pulling you down into the land of “Settling and Waiting”?

I heard a story once and it has stuck with me for years…Its about Crabs….If you have ever been crab fishing…as you catch the crabs and place them into a bucket…they are constantly trying to get out and climb the walls of the bucket. But as more and more crabs are added to the bucket, the larger and stronger crabs are able to climb a bit higher and almost reach the top until another crab who is also trying to get out of the bucket and into his freedom pulls on the higher crab to pull himself up and then they both tumble to the bottom of the bucket only to start all over again. So neither of the crabs reach their destination of freedom.

Isn’t that like us sometimes, we can be like the crabs, clawing our way up the river of life…trying to reach over the top of our bucket. Striving for our freedom…knowing that it is within reach…knowing that it is just on the other side. But the people around us are continually pulling us back down, reminding us that we don’t have what it takes, we have never made it before what makes us think that we can do it know.

I believe that there is something more… born in every person…We all have the power of choice within us. We all have the ability to make our mark, to fulfill our Destiny. We are all programmed that way, it is in our DNA, but we do have to fight for it to be released.

Our Dreams can take some time to appear and in the process of waiting we become tired, worn out, hopeless, discouraged, and the like because time has taken its toll on us.

Nothing in life is free…We have all heard that from the time we were small till today. And nothing…especially Success is easy. It takes work and the power of Action to put the work into forward movement. It’s not the achievement of your dreams that make you a success it is the person that you have become along the way that makes you the successful person.

Albert Einstein…said “Nothing Happens Until Something Moves”

So lets look at a couple of ideas that we can put into practice to begin our journey towards success.

1. All the ideas, preparation, knowledge, and wisdom we can acquire are all essential in our pursuit of our dreams and achievements, BUT…our ideas, preparation, knowledge and wisdom are useless without action, because action is the starting point of ALL progress…

1. “Outside forces” always come into play when one takes action. The bolder the action, the more powerful these outside forces seem to be. It does seem that the more action that one puts into his/her goals, these are the ones achieving their highest aspirations.

1. Action Produces Genius….. Action is the key to the brains ignition. You DO NOT need to be motivated to act! Force yourself to take action, and motivation will follow. Action stimulates both the body and your brain cells. It brings you in contact with surprising things, unexpected events, and incredible people who have the potential to be critical to your success. Take action first, even just to explore your possibilities, and you will be amazed how your creative juices begin to flow.

Most people “wait” to be motivated to then take action… which is why most people are stuck “waiting” for opportunities to come their way. But…. Opportunities never come to those who “wait.” We have to go after them….seeking them out for ourselves….exploring the possibilities….looking at life as a journey. If we never risk….we really never live.
