Goals,Why you need to have some.

GOAL SETTING
If you were to ask a President or CEO of any company he/she would tell you they set a goal to get where they are today. Goals are essential to being successful.
As with anything in life most of us  have a goal in mind but never define what the goal is. If you can't state it on paper or out loud, will it ever happen?
Setting goals is an easy but time consuming task. This is how I do it. I get a piece of paper. Start writing down what you want from your job, home, things you want and stuff you would like to do for others.
 Break it down into individual category's i.e. home, work, personal and stuff. First, you'll need to put them in order of importance per category. Second, pick the top of each category, then get very specific with each one. Here is an example.
I need to loose 50 lbs.
I will loose 50 lbs in 6 months.
I will loose 8  lbs a month.
I will to loose 2 lbs a week.
How will I loose 2 lbs a week.
I will walk a mile every other day.
I will also put my fork down between bites.
I will also drink a full glass of water before I eat meals and snacks.
When you do this you can visualize how it's going to happen. Check mark each day what you've accomplished. At the end of the day you will feel good and you will see results.

Ego vs Confidence

Ego vs Confidence
 Ego is the self or "I" of a person. 
      I have heard or made reference to someones EGO more than a handful of times over the last weekend. So I decided to look and see what ego was exactly. I found that having an ego wasn't a bad thing if you keep it under control. I also found that people with the biggest ego's are usually scared and unhappy and have low self-esteem. The out of control ego will point fingers and blame others for anything especially their mistakes or, short comings. Occasionally the person with the out of control ego seems confident but, given time their true colors will show.
Confidence is the belief in ones own abilities.
        The most successful people that I know are very Confident.  We all know someone like this and  want to be around this person. Why? This is the person that inspires us. They are able to lead and follow equally well. They tend not to be self serving and usually fun to be around.
         There is a fine line between a confident person and an egotist. Egotist can be very confident but they tend to be bullies. Confident people try to persuade and not bully.
        
Which is better? You decide.

Making money online, from home.

Making money online, from home.
 Is it really that hard to make money from home in your spare time? The answer is no but, starting is very difficult. Why? Well first off there's deciding what you are going to do.Then you have to pick a platform or program that  you are going to use. After you make that decision you have to wade through all the information to find something useful. Then you have to take action. When I read this back it really doesn't sound all that difficult until you realize that after you join a "turnkey" business model you will be inundated with e-mails for every kind of program under the sun. 
I got this advice when I first started out and it has served me well, after I followed it. Find one thing that you think you can do and stick with it, when you have made money and reproduce the result over and over then build on top of that. Repeat again until you have several streams of cash flow. Remember for the majority it takes some time. Last but not least if you don't do anything you will not accomplish anything.
