You follow a plan to be successful, but success avoids you every time. You feel like a lost puppy in a stormy night. If this is you, then, you should read this article today. Its purpose is to show that the reason for the failure may be within you.

You cannot make it work; and you may be undermining your possibility of success. The problem is not outside, but deep down within you. However, when you finish reading this article you will be able to fix this problem, and renew your journey to success. Your problem is revealed in two fairly common situations:

Fraudulent offers

You are very excited and in a hurry to make money; this attitude has opened the door to many con artists. They lied to you... this program is so good that it will work even with a six years old kid. This was a learning experience; and you've become wiser now.

Think about this:
1. Con artists are skillful; and if you are inexperienced they will nail you.
2. They convince you that this program will make money fast.
3. You check the plan, and the presentation is flawless.
4. You buy the program, but you make no money.
5. Another one comes along, and you fail again.

My friend, the problem is not the con artists, but you. Your desire to succeed in a hurry has blinded you, and your journey to success is now in danger.

Self Pity

Now you are depressed; you've been conned many times. You feel a sense of loss. Perhaps you lost money, a friend, a relative, or perhaps, you lost a job. This has created a conflict within, and you feel sorry for yourself. Self pity is your daily bread now.

In conclusion

You have been the victim of your own good intentions. Your desire to succeed is valid and honorable, but you need to check things patiently. Do not be in a hurry, the internet will wait. However, you do need to destroy the monster of self pity from your life.

Would you like to change this situation, and find your way to success?

• Stop feeling sorry for yourself, and admit your responsibility.
• Consider your losses as lessons that will make you stronger.
• Patiently find an opportunity that you can work with.
• Act on your action plan; slowly, but steady your income will begin to grow.
• Be aware of your thoughts; feed only good thoughts into your mind.
• Create your dream board and use it to pump you up.
• When you are truly committed nothing can stop.

Have a great day, and may God bless you.

When you finish reading, you will know how to establish the foundation for achieving your dreams. The following steps will unleash all the potential of your dreams:

Step 1- Let Faith Sustain You in Any Situation

Someone asked, what is faith? Faith is to believe in something that is not true, said a little girl. Interesting, but not true, because faith is the foundation of our lives; it is the hope that feeds confidence in our dreams.
The Bible says "faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." In my mind faith is the substance and the evidence of the things I hope for. It is the title deed of my dreams.
Yet faith is not magic; I must have a few things in place for it to work.

• The object of faith; God is the object of my faith.
• My dream must be clear; I need to know exactly what I want.
• Dreams and action plans written down.
• Persistence to keep going, despite delays, and detours.

Step 2 - Let Joy Energize You in Your Journey to the Top

As you pursue your dreams you will meet obstacles and delays; and you may despair.
However, if you incorporate joy into your life you become a human magnet. Waste no time my friend; let the energy of joy magnetize you as you pursue your dreams.
A joyful person is always attracting people and things. Joy gives you energy to achieve your dreams. It is the celebration and the energy of life; and it always attracts great things to your life. Please make a commitment to be joyful right now.

Why rejoice? We rejoice because of life, health, friends, family etc. These blessings give us power and confidence to achieve any dream; and in this process we are transformed into new persons. We become stronger, happier, and tolerant of others.

Step 3 - Let Gratitude be the Spice of your life

Gratitude is power and harmony in your life; therefore, you should express gratitude every day for life, the food you eat, etc. You will see that things begin to change, when you begin to express gratitude.

In conclusion

As I said in the beginning you have three simple steps to boost your journey to success and happiness; incorporate them into every thing you do, and you will succeed. OK my friend, I leave you in the company of faith, joy, and gratitude.

If you are looking for an action plan for success, then you should read this article now. Our purpose is to shows you how you can make a Road Map for Success, and what type of information should be in it.

Have you ever wondered why people give up pursuing their dreams? The reason is that most people do not have a genuine written down plan. They have no idea of what to do next, and are not prepared for the journey. Researchers in 1953 found that only 3% of the graduating students at Yale had written down their goals.

After 20 years those 3% were worth more than the other 97%. This is amazing, and we should be compelled to write down our dreams and action plans. When you finish reading this article you will be ready to prepare your own road map for success... Prepare, Get set, and Go!

What is a Road map for Success?

It is an organized list of what you need to do to achieve your dreams. It includes your main objective; goals; needs; resources; obstacles; time line; and accountability.

Why a map?

The map tells where you are, where you want to go, and how to get there. It also shows obstacles along the way. Can I just ask questions as I journey to the top? Get your own road map, but remember to take actions.

How to write your road map

1 - Make a decision to be a successful person

William Jennings Bryan said "Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice: It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved." You want to be successful in your chosen career, but did you make a serious commitment to it?

2 - Research your chosen field

Good information prevents you from getting enticed by easy money scam.

3 - Get a mentor

You need to find someone who is honest and have experience. This is better than paying a coach, and you do not pay anything. I had bought many programs, but after a year of searching I found this great program for one time fee of 47 dollars.

Within a week I saw the seriousness of that author, and I adopted that person as my coach. And although I follow three people with the same focus, this particular author is my coach for life, and it is free.

4 - Read the scrip and Make changes to it

It is good to check other people's plan, but learn to evaluate and adapt it, so you can create your own road map.

5 - Establish a Time line

Reaching your goals must not be left to chance; write specific dates to accomplish them. Make a 5 year plan and then break it down by one year, and then six months. Select at least three, but no more than five objectives, and make specific goals for each objective.

6 - Don't forget your tool kit

Always carry a tool kit with you; in it you should always have good attitude, plenty of joy and lots of gratitude. Every day, as soon as I wake up I declare: Thank God, this is a wonderful day; it does not depend on the circumstances, but on my attitude.

7 - Prepare - Get set - Go!

My wife and I help children in a poor area of town. I was looking one day how one of the volunteers decided to do a little game with them. Right before starting he would say: Prepare, Get Set, and Go. They were very excited as they waited for the word GO! When they heard it, they took off with so much energy that no one could stop them for any reason. Do you have the same excitement for achieving your dreams? Go ahead and hit the road.

8 - Become a wise traveler

Some times you must follow a detour sign, and other times you need to make changes. If you need to stop and acquire some skills first, then go ahead and do it now.

9 - Take massive action

Don't just take some actions, but massive actions.

In conclusion
Through out this article I made an emphasis on the importance of a written down road map or action plan for success. Now I would like to encourage you to write your own road map for success. Make sure to include all the needed ingredients. Go for it with commitment, faith, and patience.

Would you like a simple, but powerful tool to create your dream life? Then, read on. The first article was a general overview of thoughts, words and actions as the three most powerful tools available for you. In this article we will present: What is The Problem and The Solution. When you finish reading this article nothing will stop you from achieving your dreams.

This ability comes from the power of knowledge; the knowledge of how to program your mind for victory. You will be able to achieve your dreams because you will:
* Make thoughts and words your best allied in your quest for success.
* Program your subconscious to create a powerful belief system in your mind.
* You will be motivated to take massive actions to fulfill your dreams.
* You will be persistent and patient because winners never give up.

What is the problem?

It varies from people to people, but generally there are a few things in common that make people give up their quest for success:
* Lack of confidence; lack of planning; lack of skills; lack of determination;
* Not knowing what we want; jumping from one opportunity to another;
* Frustration, fear, and resentment.
* Knowing what you want, but not knowing what to do.
* There is a sense of drifting away aimlessly without direction.

Every one wants to be successful; no one wants to fail. Some of us have well defined dreams and goals. But most people run from place to place trying to fulfill their dreams; They try different methods, but they fail. How can we stop drifting away aimlessly and find a safe route to fulfill our dreams?

The Solution - How Our Mind Works?

Our minds work simultaneously in two molds, the conscious and the subconscious. The points below, although abbreviated, remind us why it is so important to control our thoughts and words.
1. Thoughts are formed in our conscious mind when our senses pick up stimuli. These stimuli generate our thoughts.
2. The subconscious cannot differentiate between fantasy and reality; therefore, what it hears it believes. If you think or say "I cannot achieve my dreams because it is too difficult," your subconscious accepts that as a fact. Therefore, you should create your dream board, and use it to make positive affirmations.
3. Please read my article: How to Live the Life of Your Dreams - Part 3, to find out how to make your dream board.
4. There are some thoughts and words that you repeat; and when you repeat them every day, your subconscious creates a strong belief.
5. Make negative affirmations and your mind will be your worst enemy. Make positive affirmations, and your mind will be your best friend.
6. Your subconscious will influence your actions positively.
7. You are now empowered to fulfill your dreams. Nothing can stop you my friend.
Now you know how your mind works; therefore, you should always think and speak positively about your ability to fulfill your dreams. This kind of speaking and thinking will form strong beliefs in your subconscious. The subconscious will now influence your actions; and you will conquer your dreams. From now on your mind believes that nothing is impossible for you. This is not magic; this is how our mind works.
In conclusion:
1. Set up your dreams and goals without any fear.
2. Take massive actions, and keep moving with persistence and confidence until you reach the "Promised Land."
3. Using positive affirmations you can now create a powerful belief system in your mind. This affirms your ability to accomplish anything you set your mind to.
4. If you maintain a steady flow of positive thoughts, words, images, feelings, and emotions about your dreams, nothing can stop you from reaching your highest dreams.
5. Now you know how to achieve dreams one after the other.
6. It is worth the fight; go for it and be blessed.
I would like to suggest that you read this article again and reflect on it until you commit to your dreams. We will meet again with part 3 right after this one.

Are you looking for a road map to make your dreams come true? If so, this article is for you. It deals with the most powerful tools available to anyone: the power of thoughts, words and actions. Although brief, this article provides the tools that you need to be successful. The succeeding articles will have more information on each tool.

Most of us have unfulfilled dreams; we want to improve our finances, the life of our families, and other issues. However, quite often we short-circuit our dreams due to procrastination and reluctance to leave our comfort zone. If you are ready to turn your life around, and fulfill your dreams the following tools will be your best allied.

The First Tool - Our Thoughts

King Salomon said in Proverbs 23:7 that "as a man thinks in his heart, so is he." Thoughts are our first power; and we must take them seriously because:

• It's in our thoughts that our dreams are formed, polished, nurtured and tasted.
• You can train and supervise your thoughts to create the life that you want.
• Without training and supervision your thoughts will create a life that you may not like at all.
• Right now, not tomorrow, you can start thinking on what you want to become. How? In Romans 12:2 the apostle Paul said "be transformed by the renewal of your mind..." As you see, to change your life you must change your thoughts; this is true not only for the spiritual, but to all aspects of life.
• Think about your dreams continually. Let them become the dominant thought in your mind; your subconscious will get the message and become your best allied.

Our thoughts deal with a conscious and a subconscious mind. The first uses the language of logic, as we are using now; the second uses the language of emotions, feelings, and images. Your subconscious influences your actions; therefore, it is important that you use positive thoughts and words to imprint your dreams in your subconscious mind.

Create your dream board and begin training your subconscious today. Think of it several times a day, and watch the emotions, feelings and images of your dreams transform your life. What if you are not around your dream board? You can still use visualization to review it, and experience everything any where and any time.
Nevertheless, the dominant thought that you have imprinted in your mind, must now be expressed in words, as you will see in the next paragraph.

The Second Tool - Our Words
Make sure that your words agree with your thoughts. Just as our thoughts, words have a big part in guiding our lives. This is not magic, just the way we are; if you check it, you will discover that your words have a profound influence in your actions. Here are some things to consider:

• If you think: "I am healthy," then, you must also say aloud "I am healthy."
• What you speak creates opportunities to make you healthy, or whatever you want.
• Thoughts, words, and actions are decisively interconnected.
• Harmonize these three tools, and you will accomplish any goal in life.
• Repeat positive thoughts and words through out the day and your subconscious will work overtime to make it a reality. It will do so by influencing your actions as you shall see next.

The Third Tool - Our Actions
Actions are extremely important, but the most ignored ingredient of our dreams. Many people have an action plan, but they fail to implement those actions. Why?

1. Fear of failure keeps many people from acting on their plans.
2. Lack of patience to implement the action plan.
3. They believe that it takes too long to see results.
4. If there is a football game, they find the perfect excuse not do act, while hoping that they will succeed, but they fail.

Here is something that you should do every single day:

1. Get your dream board and repeat each one of your dreams every day.
2. Visualize your dreams, and your subconscious will help you fulfill them.
3. Create an action plan and act on it continually.
4. Eliminate distractions that can disrupt your daily actions.
5. When writing and repeating objectives you should be very specific: For example, "Within a year I will be making 10k monthly."

Did you get the picture? Begin using these powerful tools today with patience, persistence and faith. Our mind has three powerful tools waiting for an opportunity to fulfill our dreams. Your thoughts words and actions are waiting for your command; go ahead and conquer the world.

If you are wondering about the truth of making money online, then you should read this article now. But I want you to think about the ocean, for a moment. It has too much water, too many waves, and dangers. The ocean is very beautiful, and it is a place of untold riches and possibilities.

Nevertheless, you would not venture in the ocean without proper knowledge, tools, and training; the same thing applies to the internet. You need the right knowledge, the right tools and right training. This article covers three important ingredients on the subject:

1. Connect with the right people to get knowledge, tools and training.
2. There are a few things that you need to avoid if you want to succeed online.
3. Think and consider the questions below.


First - Connect with the right people to get knowledge, tools and training. There is an information overload, and you need honest people to guide you. If you do not have a guide you will lose money fast. It took me a year of bad experience to find that out. Some people waste thousands of dollars in programs that do not work. What I am saying is that you need someone to be your mentor and your partner.
Yes you can actually make a good amount of money online, but remember that you are the primary responsible for your success. Therefore, patiently choose the right people to work with. Cherish them, and they will guide you in the path of success. My personal suggestions on choosing the right people.
These suggestions come from my personal experiences online:

• Find honest and humble people to be your mentor.
• Make people feel important when they meet you.
• Study different business opportunities, but pay attention to people who are promoting a slow, but sound system, instead of the get rich quick scheme.
• Ask questions and wait for the replies; you will know if it is good for you.
• Use social media as a tool to find the good people you need around you.
• Cultivate relationships with people beyond your own social circles.
• Respect people and business by building instead of destroying them.

Second - There are a few things that you need to avoid if you want to succeed online.

1. Programs that promise big money fast with little or no effort.
2. Marketers that put down other business systems.
3. Things that looks too good to be true. Leave it alone as fast as you can.
4. Online surveys; they are not what you expect them to be.
5. Online casinos and online lotteries are usually bad choices.
6. Business that charge for general information.

There is a fast and dangerous way to make money; but if you are patient you will find a good deal. Some people begin slowly, but they build a powerful system patiently. Take time to research before you jump on anything. If you join something that is not good, do not despair. Mistakes are learning experiences that will help you along the way. It happened to me many times before I learned a good lesson.

Third - Think and consider the questions below:

· How much time are you willing to dedicate to your business? If you really desire to make money online you will find the time to do.
· Are you willing to make sacrifices for the sake of your new business?I hope you are because the internet is the best place to make money; and if you are committed you will do extremely well. Go for it my friend and you will make your dreams a reality sooner than you can imagine.

Are you looking for motivation to empower your dreams? If it is yes, then read this article today; it will give you the tools that you need to make your dreams a reality. Here are the steps that will facilitate your journey:
(A) Write down your dreams for home, travel, money, family, dream car etc.
(B) Create your dream board and visit it several times a day.
(C) Commit yourself to implement your action plan.

First - Write down your dreams for home, travel, money, family, dream car etc. Create a mental picture of your dreams, decide what is it that you would love to do in life, and take time to prioritize your dreams. Do not let anyone or anything limit your dreams. I always ask God for help, but I do not allow anyone else to tell me what I should do in life. This is no body's life, but yours; therefore, you are the only one responsible for your success.

Second - Create your dream board and visit it every day. Most of us have things that we would love to do such as a dream home, a luxury car, a world tour, or to earn large sums of money. A dream-board or vision board comes very handy. It is a collection of very specific pictures glued to a cardstock or poster board that serve as a graphic reminder of your dreams.
If you want to create a good durable dream board you can:

1. Buy a large cardstock (or a foam board if you like). Your cardstock can be of any color; pick the color that you like most and go for it.
2. Get special magazines that focus on travel, cars, and money. In these magazines you can find pictures and words to represent your dreams; use anything that will motivate you to pursue your dreams.
3. Buy glue or something to hold the pictures in the cardstock.
4. Divide your cardstock into five or six sections and group related things together in each section. This will help you to recall them in your mind when you are away from it.
5. Get a set of large chip board letters to write your name in the center of the board. You can also use smaller letters to write the titles of each section.
6. Carefully glue each picture or word in the appropriate section. You are almost there. Be proud of yourself, you are doing a good job in setting this up to help you to take actions on your dreams.

Third - Commit yourself to implement the actions that you have set up. It is not enough to write on a paper and hope that it will materialize. You make them work, even if it means making some sacrifices. You will have to sacrifice some movies, ball games, etc. Use the time to work on your action plans; you can do some of these things later on. This is the last article on this series, although other articles will be coming shortly.
