In life we have regrets , we have things we wished we had done different. thats natural, everyone has those moments, but the real battle is within. Understand that you should have tried harder at some things, but what’s really important is to look at why you didn’t try hard at what ever that may have been. It could have been high school or collage, or a job you liked, or a team you were on, or maybe a job that had an opportunity to advance or a course you took. You have two avenues you can go down you can look at your failures and fall into that arena of people who just except things because they feel there not good enough. Or you can examine why you failed at what ever it was. did you fail because it was not a good fit for the type of person you are. Did you fail because you were trying to hang out with “friends” to much. Did you fail because you were not focused, period. What took your focus away and why did it take your focus away. You will be so far ahead if you sit down with a piece of paper and think of something you wish you had pursued or finished and jot down the real reason you didn’t complete that goal.

I used to think I could party, work and give my job little effort. all the while living for the weekend. I gave my family life little effort i gave my work life little effort. I gave my future and my goals even less effort than that. and I’m sure it goes with out saying my results were right in line with my effort. Bad. My results sucked, I switched jobs all the time, I was frustrated, my family life was poor. but hey my social life and “friends”, that life was going good. I look back on this time and think what an idiot I was.

I was a relatively smart kid growing up. I got decent grades by just sort of trying. I went to collage and took some courses, I did OK in the courses. I had to try a little harder to shoot my regular of a little better. I was able to get a couple of decent paying jobs. in general I barely tried at anything except drinking and partying. and even though I gave it all little effort I still was living OK. I thought this was typical I thought if I just got a brake I could find some get rich scheme and not have to work and just party and do what I wanted to do.

no body ever told me if i would give life some effort the rewards of life would come back multiplied. I never knew that in order to be successful you will have to be willing and able to work your but off. I didn’t know that because you will have to work your but off the only way to truly get ahead is to start doing what you are naturally suited to do. I never knew that I was supposed to start today giving my job my best effort and keep my attitude good. I never knew that if I did do this and use my off days to find a business I enjoy or look for another job or take courses, or even find a department within my present work that more suites me .

I have a loving father and other loving family members but NO one sat me down and explained these simple life facts. I was sent to school to learn Spanish, I learned chemistry, biology, algebra, and trigonometry. Those are all great subjects, but there subjects i use very little of today. But no one ever thought of offering or making it known there is a class that will teach you the most important rules you could ever learn. those rules no one was teaching, or at least no one i knew where teaching , were the rules to the game of life.

So after me just getting by and not getting anywhere I wanted to be in life. I began to get frustrated and thought it was because I had to work for some one else, so I began to get interested in small business. I always had a “side hustle”. I used to sell baseball cards, then as I got older I bought cars fixed them up then sold them for profit. My “side hustle” made me as much money sometimes as my check and in less hours. i also had another business growing up that i will discuss at a later time. but my side business led me to see the reality. I get more cash in pocket for working for myself than working for someone else. I took this information and got involved in other businesses one of witch was a cleaning franchise. Some of my businesses failed and some were successes. I couldn’t understand why some of my business ideas worked and why some didn’t. But I did know one thing and that was if I didn’t know something or I needed to get knowledge to do something I should do like I always did with baseball cards and cars. I should go get books on it and start reading.

this led me to the library to start to get books on business and self help. After 2 years of reading and listening to all sort of business books, sales books, and self help books. I started to actually understand how to be successful. Being successful came down to 2 basic things, focus and dedication. Like a drill going into concrete, the message finally got through. If I wanted a job to become successful, a marriage, a small business, or almost any learned skill, I had to spend lots of hours doing it, I had to start on a small level and learn, I had to read boring books, I had to not hang out, I had to turn off the TV, and go get videos on the subject. I had to spend money buying courses and books. I had to become totally consumed into something to make it a success. I learned you could do this for anything good or bad

I took this new found reality and it invigorated me i was energized, I could stay up all night writing my goals, and listening to quality information related to what my goals were. I never stopped and will never stop studying and learning, but another very important thing I learned was to enjoy the process. To achieve any goal there will be something rough about it, I learned the best people enjoy the challenge of the hard part and are prepared. They go after the hard one, they take the last shot, they make the 40 tough sales calls, they stay up all night reading the text book and taking notes, they are able to sacrifice hanging out for a couple of months to get through that tough course.

My plan with this site is to lay out the plan, the realities and give support. I wish I had a site to go to when I was coming up to see this all laid out in one convenient place. I truly think if i had know the facts abouts life that earl nightingale, Brian Tracy, Dan Miller, Dave Ramsey, Glendon Cameron, and so may others have been trying to get people understand I would be light years ahead. That being said, I am so grateful to be able to give this information to you my readers and subscribers, and I am grateful that I do now understand these facts

What every wants to know is does self help work, can you really set a goal and reach it. Does all the stuff in the magazines and books work, and the answer is yes, yes it does work. It works and it will work for you but what they don’t tell you or what most people fail to hear is it will take lot and lots of dedication sacrifice and hard work.

The higher or bigger the goal the harder it will be to get to it. Can you do anything, yes to a degree you can. Along the way you will work your but off. But if you stay dedicated make minor changes along the way, be honest with yourself, and learn to love the process learn to love the hard part of reaching that goal whatever that goal may be. If you welcome to hardest challenge that comes with a goal yes you can be whoever you want to be.

This site will lay out the plan tell you what to read, how to find the right people to be around, what to listen to , heck we will even tell you what to eat to help you get to that pinnacle of success. And although I tell you it’s hard, it’s just like anything once you learn to start doing the process of being successful it gets easier and easier. Each goal you set will come easier to you, you will be used to setting goals and reaching them. You will then know the process, and once you know you know. It’s like riding a bike. Once you know how it’s all up to you to get on and ride or leave it in the garage and keep begging for rides everywhere

Rule: once you, a ball, a log, a car, a plane, whatever. Once you start going in a direction it’s much easier to keep going, once you start making changes and getting on the path for success it becomes easier and easier to just keep doing what works and has worked for hundreds of years
