Focus

If you want something to become great, then focus on promoting it. If you split your promo with others stuff, then you show everyone that you don't believe in it. Why would others believe it?

Sometimes, people whine about the low result they get. To get result, you have to focus. Yes, it’s that simple. Put all your energy into that one things you want to accomplish.

I get angry when I find out about people that are promoting 4 to 5 different stuff, and think that it’s ok to do so. Then they complain about the low result they get.

First, don’t complain. It’s never going to get you anywhere. 

Second, you have to choose what you really want to do first. And when you choose, then work on it. Work on it for a long time. Not for one day or one week, not even one month, but at least 12 months.

Your focus

When you focus your attention on something, you invest your energy into it.

Choose wisely what you focus on. You could end up working against yourself.

“Miracles start to happen when you give as much energy to your dreams as you do to your fears…”

- Richard Wilkins

Miracles are results to actions taken.

Every time you put something positive into the universe, the world changes. Your kindness invites miracles to show up, not just in your world, but in the whole world.

Fear is there to help you understand what really matters to you. When you face your fear, you are on your way to miracles.

Learn the rules first

Making the rules is never something that you get at first.

You have to learn to play along the rules that are there. When you’ll master the game, then you’ll have what it takes to make a new game.

What ever you want to master, you have to learn before you can claim to be a master. There’s no short cut into this.

You can learn in so many ways. It can be to try and learn. It can be to read and learn. It can be to listen and learn. It can be to watch and learn. The best would be to take them all. You can’t choose only one and hope to perform as a master. You need to get them all before you can reach for the golden ring and become one of the few.

Masters are not perfect, they learn from their mistake and the ones of others. Even a master needs to learn a little more every day if he wants to accomplish anything.

How do you know when you are a master? When you realize that you’re having fun doing it right. It’s that simple.

Simple is good

I found out that simple is better. When you want to communicate with others, it’s always better when you can say what you want to say with simple words.

Look at all the great historic speech. They’re simple and clear. Some of them has been created many years ago and we still can understand them.

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.”

- Confucius

If you have the tendency to complicate things up, take the time to rewrite everything you create.

“That's been one of my mantras - focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.”

- Steve Jobs

Simple will touch a larger market. If you can build simple products that are filling a need, you can take the market. Everybody likes simple things that are working well.

Do you have a good reason to do it?

We live in a world where you can find a lot of good reason to do nothing. It’s accepted to be idle and stay behind.

“If you don’t have a good enough dream, you’ll end up finding good enough reason to quit on it.”

- Serge Cote

It’s around one in ten people that will keep going on.

It’s also a little less than one in ten that are among the rich people. The people, who don’t give up, are also the people who are getting a lot more.

You can find a lot of reason to stay on your ass. It’s really easy. But what is usually easy doesn’t bring much. I’m sorry if I have to break the glass of illusion that has been put in front of your eyes. Easy action will never bring much. Hard action will bring you more. And when I say hard, I mean hard for you. Never compare yourself with others. Do what’s hard for you and you’ll bring more to you. Surpass yourself and it will show in your result. Maybe not at first, but in the end you’ll always get it.

“If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. It's the hard that makes it great.”

 - Tom Hanks

In our world, we protect the lazy. We support the people who aren’t doing the best they can. We attack the people who are giving all to make it better then most.

Better yourself

You are your biggest obstacle to yourself.

There is no way for you to be more then you see yourself.

There is no way for you to be better then you see yourself.

If you don’t take the time to work on yourself, then you’ll stay at the level you are now.

“You’ll never get higher then how you see yourself.”

- John C. Maxwell

Before anything, you need to have the desire to better yourself.

Then, you have to accept that there’s work to do before you can hope to better yourself. At this point, most will give up. Most want to better themselves without putting any work. They want the magic pill.

And last, you have to accept to become better. You have to be able to see yourself better.

There’s so many people that are putting a lot of work and energy without believing that any of that will work out. And then, they get angry to see that they were right to think it would not work.

If you think it will not work, then it won’t.

Action

Doing and mistaking goes together. People that are doing are the ones involve in mistake. But they are also the ones involve with success.

Successful people have all been making mistakes.

“A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.”

- George Bernard Shaw

Success is directly associated with mistakes.

Your capacity to adjust and keep going on is directly linked to your success.

Mistakes are only steps onto success.

You have to keep on doing and adjust.

If you keep on doing the same thing again and again without adjusting to make it better, you are doom to keep on making the same mistakes.

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

- Albert Einstein

Delay to Profit

When you can delay using the benefit you get early in a business. Your later return will be a lot bigger.

First, you need to know how much your profit is (when the expenses of your business is covered). If your expenses are higher than your income, you need to take action. Profit should never be negative.

Once you know the amount of your profit, then you set it aside. Use only what you really need. The rest you split it in two, reinvest one part wisely into growing your business and the other part you set aside as a security for bad days.

Knowing what you need and what you don’t is the difficult part in this. We all want the good life and knowing when we can afford it can become a real headache.

Start with the basic.

-          House

-          Groceries

-          Life expenses (internet, car, cloth, electric bill, cell phone, gas bill, assurance)

Once you know what you need to clear all the basics, you can have a good idea of what you can invest back into your business.

You have to set up monthly goal that you will use to celebrate your success. When you reach your goal, use a part of your reinvestment profit to celebrate. It will keep you motivated and you’ll still have something to invest back into your business.

Your security money should be easily available for emergencies. You’ll have to use it only when your business is not providing for itself. When this happens, you have to do an analysis and change what need to be changed so the next month it will not be as bad. The security money is there for emergencies. You should never use it two month in a row.
