Martin Luther King Day became a federal holiday in 2000.

I have always loved this holiday.  I can’t really articulate a specific reason for it.

Dr. King has long been one of my greatest inspirations.  His picture and quotes grace the walls of many of my rooms.

His message likely became even more special to me as children with African heritage became part of my family.

All very nice, you’re probably thinking, but what does Martin Luther King have to do with my online business?

Two things.

First, Dr. King Exemplifies What it Takes to be Successful

He had a passion, he had an unwavering belief in his mission, his success would solve a huge problem for many, and he worked tirelessly to get his message out to as many people as he could.

Sound a little like you?  If you are passionate about your business, believe without a doubt in what you are doing, are solving a huge problem for your market, and work tirelessly to do so ~ you will come out a personal and business success.

Excuse me if I sound a little melodramatic, comparing your business to the civil rights movement.  But, don’t underestimate the importance of what you are doing.

Many of you have businesses that provide life-changing services to people.  All of you have businesses that are solving problems for people.  You are important.  If you don’t get that, you should either start taking your business more seriously, or get a job.

Your online business is also of huge significance to your life.  Your success may enable you (or your partner) to stay home with your kids.  Or to relieve the constant stress of debt.  Or the life-sucking responsibility of two jobs.  Or a hundred other things.

The reason many people fail in their online business is because they treat it like a hobby.  And hope that it will someday become their business.

Start thinking of yourself as the Dr. King of your market.  Go forward with the conviction and passion he had, and see what it does for you.

And, do it now.  I love Dr. King’s thoughts on urgency in his “I Have a Dream” speech.

“We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now.  This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquillizing drug of gradualism.”

Whatever you’ve been waiting for, in honor of Martin Luther King Day, take that first step now.

2. Dr. King’s Efforts Make Your Success Possible

Yes, there are still civil rights issues today.  People are discriminated against based on their race, color, gender, and religion. 

But we’ve come a long way.  Because of the work carried out by Dr. King and those he inspired, there is no excuse for not being successful in your online business. 

Dr. King said “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character.”

And so it is.  Black, brown, white, red or yellow.  Old or young.  Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist . . . Your online business will be judged by the content of your character.  Go out and serve people well, and you will be well served.

Your only limitations are your own.  I can’t wait to hear how you are changing the world!

Many of us are beautifully optimistic in our New Year expressions.

I can’t count how many Facebook posts I “liked,” tweets I “re-tweeted,” and Google+ status’s I “1+’d” over the last week.  They all spoke, in various verse, of how many great changes the New Year was going to bring into each person’s life.

And while I want everyone whose path I cross to be wildly successful in 2012, we all know that the odds are against most.

Once you have signed off social media, and set down to make the real work happen, do doubts start to creep in?  Does “reality” hit when you look at what’s got to be done to meet your online business goals?  By the end of January, are you back in the frustration of not making it happen?

Obviously, there’s a huge difference in saying you’re going to make it happen in the New Year, and actually making it happen.

Unfortunately, I think the reason most people don’t find the success they are looking for is that they don’t take the time to really believe they can do it.

Today, I’m going to share with you 3 examples from my life that you can use to push yourself past your doubts and back into belief.

1.  You Decide What’s Possible

Most of your doubts are the result of what society ~ including your friends and family ~ defines as possible and proper.  But you do not have to believe in “impossible.”

When I decided to have children, my doctor told me there was only a 2% chance that I would ever get pregnant.

I played his game for several months.  Then I decided that if I was going to find success here, I would have to ignore his statistics, tests, and expertise.  They didn’t fit into my world.

I got a new doctor and conceived my first beautiful baby girl 2 months later.

Close your eyes to those who don’t believe in you.  Believe in yourself and your ability to make things happen.  Surround yourself with others who will support you 100% (even if they think you’re crazy, as I’m sure my doctor did!).

2.  Have Confidence in the Road Less Taken

As an entrepreneur, you are probably used to being a little different. 

You’ve probably heard, “why don’t you just get a job?” before.  And maybe even thought it yourself.

Several years ago, I was fired from a job that I never contemplated leaving.  Apparently, I wasn’t very manageable . . .

Everyone encouraged me to get a new job.  I even had a really good offer, working with good people for good money.  But, it wasn’t what I wanted to do.

So I moved 4 hours away and started my own business.  I won’t lie, there were times when I struggled to pay the $450 a month rent for my tiny apartment.

But, within a year, I had more than tripled the salary that my job had paid.

And, best of all, I was the boss.

Starting your own online business may not be popular with your friends and family.  It’s scary.  What if . . . (insert all bad things that could happen).  Yes, but, what if you are wildly successful and get to live the life of your dreams?!  Don’t let anyone convince you that the less-traveled road is the less-desirable road.

3.  Cash In on Your Strengths

We all have strengths and weaknesses.  For some reason, it’s human nature to focus on our weaknesses.  You’ve probably been told (or even thought to yourself) that you can’t build a successful business because you’re too old, too young, too inexperienced, too poor . . .

Don’t buy it.  I almost gave up when I first started.

I began my career as an entrepreneur in the network marketing industry.  I was trained in the “old style” way – sign up all of your friends and family, talk to every person you can when you wait in line at the grocery store, buy leads and spend hours a day calling strangers.

Super yuck.  I had no desire to do that.  But I really wanted my own business, so I tried.  And I was really bad at it.

So, I kept looking until I found a way to do business that concentrated on my strengths, which include developing relationships with people, not selling to strangers.

Don’t let anyone convince you that you lack what it takes to have a successful business.  If you believe in yourself, are willing to take the time to develop a plan for your business, and then take massive action to implement that plan ~ you can do it!

I look forward to hearing your stories.

I learned early on in my network marketing career that “the only way to fail is to quit.”

And indeed, every successful person I know has a story about not quitting.  And about how eventually, often on the brink of giving up, he has had the breakthrough that led to multimillion dollar success.

You’ve probably heard me tell you to take action.  And to just keep taking action, until your online business is the success you dream about it being as you toil away long past midnight.

No doubt, consistent action is the key to success.

But I had a conversation with a frustrated online business owner the other day that made me realize something I probably overlook too often.

Not just any action will do.  You must take right action.

Getting in your car and driving from California to New York without a map would take much longer than doing it with a triptik from AAA.  AAA are the experts.  They know how to get you there.

And building a successful online business is like driving from California to New York.  Some stretches will go easier than others.  You will get tired.  You’ll have to stop and rest.  But not for too long, or you’ll never get there.

And, you’ll need the right map if you ever want to get there.

Here’s what I see far too often.  (And yes, it’s what I did too, for far too long!)  Serious, committed online business owners who pick up a new and different map every 30-60 days.  Inspired by the promise of a quicker and easier route to success.

So you end up starting in California and driving to Colorado every 30 to 60 days.  But you never make it to New York.

The key to building a successful online business is finding a map that will get you there and staying the course.

And the map that promises you can make the trip in 4 hours, or on one tank of gas, or without stopping to sleep, is wrong.  Don’t follow it.

If you find yourself purchasing a new Ebook, membership site, or magic software on how to make money online every 30 or 60 days (or more often!), quit.  If you want to build a successful online business, quit.  I don’t care how good the sales letter makes it sound, you must quit.

You must start building your business like you’ve rented a space at the local strip mall and are preparing to open the doors for your customers to walk in and buy.

You wouldn’t do that in a weekend, and you won’t build your online business in a weekend.

I know it can “feel” better to buy a new “how to make money online” product than to write a sales letter or contact a potential JV partner.  Because you are buying hope.  And hope feels good.

But, while hope is a good thing, it won’t build your business and it won’t pay your bills.  Your sales letter will.  Your JV deal will.

So close your email, put away your credit card, and get to writing.  Your success depends on it.

Looking for a proven road map to success? Jim Rohn’s One Year Success Plan pointed me in the right direction and still keeps me on the success path. Get started today!

I’m feeling extra grateful today that I am my own boss.  And that I have a portable office.

Today, the white sandy beach is more than meeting my office needs.  And the occasional “watch this, mom!” is less distracting than usual under the clear blue sky.

But that’s not really what this is about.  I just can’t ever resist a plug for the work from home (or the beach!) lifestyle.

Earlier today I was sitting in the shallow ocean with my 3 and 4-year old boys.  Those tiny waves are like a tsunami when you’re under 3 feet tall.

As I was trying to hold on to both of them, and keep their little mouths from filling with some pretty raunchy looking saltwater, I discovered the key to successfully relaxing on the beach.

It’s all in the hands of the waves that push forward.

The three of us were doing just fine as long as the waves kept coming in.  One after another.  Consistently.  Water pushing forward.

The problem came when the waves took too long of a break.  That’s when the undercurrent tried to pull us out of our little space.  Knocking the boys under the water and upsetting our sand castle building and water play.

As I struggled to maintain, it occurred to me that this was much like the struggle to build and maintain a successful online business.

Like the waves, you must consistently push forward.  In business, this means taking daily action steps that benefit your business.

If you don’t, the undercurrent slips in.  It destroys what you had going, and pushes you in the wrong direction.

The undercurrent will always be there.  Fortunately, you are in control of whether it effects your business.

When you’re new – in shallow water — the current is more obvious and can completely derail you from making even your first dollar online.

But even when your business is up and running — when you’ve swam into the deep waters — the current’s still there.  And it can do even more damage because it subtly pulls you off course.  You look up one moment and realize you aren’t at all where you thought you were and where you need to be.

Consistent action is the one constant, most important focus of any business.  Sure, automation, and leveraging, and outsourcing, and scaling make things easier and less time consuming as your business grows.

But you must be as consistent as the waves of the ocean.  And you must figure out what your undercurrents are.  So that you can counter them with a wave.

If you spend the first hour of your day chatting it up on Facebook, that’s your undercurrent.

Create a wave.  Log out of Facebook at night.  Completely close the window in your browser.  When you open your computer in the morning make your blog the window that comes up first.  Immediately write your post for the day.  Or pick an important offline task like phone calls, and make them before you even open your computer.

Discipline yourself to make waves every day.  I guarantee you it will enable you to enjoy more real waves whenever your heart desires.

The discipline needed to create waves everyday is not easy to come by, I know!  Jim Rohn’s One Year Success Plan helped me make the changes I needed in my life.  Make your first wave today!

My 6-year-old and I are raising tadpoles this summer.  It’s more fun than I anticipated.  When a friend of hers decided to join in our frog development efforts, my daughter and I set off to catch 7 tadpoles to get her friend going.

Really, I saw it as my job to net the tadpoles.  I invited my daughter along to make her feel included, and because she’s all about tadpoles right now.

We had about 30 minutes before we had to leave, so there was no time to waste.  She chose a large bucket.  With my more advanced knowledge about life, I figured a smaller pail would make it easier to swoop up the unsuspecting tadpole.

We had fun working together in this endeavor.  But the count quickly became 6-year-old: 6 tadpoles captured; mom: 0 tadpoles captured.  Huh?

Come on.  Shouldn’t I be better at this than she is?  Doesn’t my brain work faster?  Don’t I have quicker motor skills?

Maybe, but the fact is my 6-year-old is a better tadpole catcher than me because she has lots of practice at it.  She has spent many days over the past month catching tadpoles, making homes for them, and returning them at the end of the day.  Only to do it all over again the next day.

My 6-year-old’s hours of practice at the art of tadpole catching trump any other advantage I should have over her.

She’s out there doing it.  I’m sitting in here thinking sure, I could do that.

The exact same thing happens in your business.

You spend time looking at the competition in your niche.  As you surf through multiple websites (rather than working on your own business . . .) I know you often have the thought, “I could do better than that.”

How are others succeeding in your niche when you have ideas for a prettier website, better content, more traffic?  Their stuff looks like it was put out by a 6-year-old, not the emerging entrepreneur that you are!

The difference in you and your seemingly less-able-yet-more-successful counterpart is that they are practicing and you are simply knowing that you could do it, yet not getting it out there.

And the first time you put it out there, it’s not going to be wildly successful.  You’re not going to catch the coveted tadpole.

But if you keep practicing – changing your graphics, your font, your colors.  Improving your free gift, your sales letter, your social media activities . . . you will get it right.

You have to stop waiting until everything is perfect and everything is done and all your strategies are in place.

What if someone stumbles across your website and it’s a work in progress.  So what?  Will that be any worse than if they never see your stuff at all?

What if they come back later and are awed at what a fabulous site you’ve put together?  You’ve got nothing to lose here.

Everyone I know who is perceived as an “overnight success” will tell you that it was 2 years or 5 years or 10 years in the making.

Success takes practice.  No exceptions.

So stop keeping it all inside you until it’s “perfect,” because that doesn’t happen.  You can always make it better.

A baseball player doesn’t sit around thinking about how he can improve his swing.  He doesn’t tell his manager he’ll pick up a bat once he thinks he has the perfect swing.  He goes out every day and takes batting practice.  He constantly tweaks what he’s doing at the plate.

So pick up your bat and get a website up.  Get yourself out there.  In public.

By the way, I caught the 7th tadpole.  It only took 30 minutes of practice.

purchase tramadol online height=”300″ /> We’ve made it through February. Time to check up on those New Year’s Resolutions you reluctantly made. Most people have long ago lost that amoxil generic piece of paper.

I go to a fitness club.  I have for over 20 years.  So I know this little graph to the right to be absolutely true.

I curse the full parking lot every January.  But take solace in the fact that it will only last a month or so.  And always, every year, it proves to be true.  By the end of February, we’re back to the old crew.

A few weeks ago during an aerobics class, I looked around at some of the people who had been attending regularly since the new year began.  And they were getting it.  They had gone from stepping on the wrong beat and looking around the room in frustration, to being in sync with the regulars buy amoxil in the class and in step with the instructor’s calls.

I also thought about the dozens of new faces that I’d seen once, and then never again.  They cared enough to show up.  But it was hard.  Others made it look easy.  But the newbies gave up in frustration, often even before their first class was over.

It cheap ampicillin buy occurred to me that my aerobics class mirrors life.  Those who show up — who keep showing up — succeed.  And, it becomes easy for them.  I wrote this post in my head while doing a fairly complex aerobics class.  amoxil Because I’ve been doing it for 20 years and it’s easy for me.  It became easy for me a long time ago.

The “just keep amoxil buy showing up” rule applies to most anything you want to succeed at.  As a baby, you just kept trying until you walked.  (Good thing babies’ brains are so undeveloped, most adults would give up after a couple of days . . .)

Musicians, athletes, even doctors.  When they started they had no idea how to read music, to hold the ball correctly, to diagnose disease.  But they kept showing up, and working at it.  Until they could do it in their sleep.

The same formula for success applies to your home business.  Show up at night after everyone else is asleep.  Work on your business.  You’ll learn how to succeed.

Nearly everyone who starts a home business fails.  And it’s always because they stop showing up before they start making money.  They’re looking for get rich quick.  They want to get their website up tonight and see $10,000 in their Paypal account tomorrow.

That’s not how it works.  Not for anyone.

The good news is, you probably signed a contract with that fitness club.  So it’s not too late to start going again.  Today.

But before you go, sign a contract with yourself and get back to work on your home business.  It’s not too late to be healthier, and wealthier, levitra on line in 2010.

“The first requisite of success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem without growing weary.” – Thomas Edison.

I find this to be a beautiful description of home business ownership.  The “one problem” we face as home business owners is how to reach the point where our business is easy.  Where we put in a few hours work and see thousands of dollars in return.

Along the road to success there are many, many days when our physical and/or mental energies grow weary before we even begin to tackle “the problem.”  There are still times when I feel awake and ready to go, yet my mind seems incapable of producing anything.  And times when I lay in bed having the greatest ideas, but my body won’t let me get out of bed and get to the computer.

I haven’t spent a lot of time with people who have given up on their home business.  But I have to think that many people quit simply because they grow weary.  Weary of working all day and coming home to dinner, a messy house, family time and — after all that — having to be brilliant for a few more hours of work on your home business.

Of course, when people quit, they generally don’t say, “I’m weary.  I give up.”  Instead, they make excuses for why it didn’t work for them.  They didn’t have the technical skills, didn’t have the time, home businesses are all scams. . . Whatever.

They’re all excuses.  Because anyone who does apply their physical and mental energies to their home business will succeed.

So why does almost everyone who starts a home business eventually quit?  Because either they don’t know Edison’s formula, or they don’t believe it.  Or maybe they just become too weary to go on, no matter what.

How do you become one of the few that kept going?

You embrace Malcolm Gladwell’s philosophy in his book “The Tipping Point.”  In a nutshell, Gladwell talks about how many things start out being ridiculed and rejected, and over time become not just accepted, but embraced by the world as a given truth.

Look at your business as a mountain.  Hopefully you don’t start out being ridiculed, but you do begin with nothing.  No followers, no credibility, no money.  Every day you climb just a few steps up the mountain.  You may even have to rest for a few days.  It’s okay.  You’re still on a journey up the mountain.

And one day, you hit your tipping point.  You’re no longer struggling uphill.  Your efforts are paying off.  You realize you’re going down hill.  It’s becoming easy.

Gladwell’s tipping point is more than just theory.  He gives concrete examples in what is a must-read book for entrepreneurs.

Your business will have a tipping point, if you keep journeying up the mountain.  No mountain is an eternal uphill climb.  Knowing this, and remembering it when either your brain or your body is ready to throw in the towel, will make all the difference.

I love the Napolean Hill quote, “What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”   Sounds easy.  Yet one of the biggest reasons people can’t change their lives is simply that they don’t believe they can.

I got an email from an internet marketer the other day promoting a training for people who aren’t having the success they want.  The email promised that the training wasn’t about that “mindset crap.”  Instead, it was going to tell me exactly what I need to do to achieve online business success.

Here’s my problem with that.  There are hundreds, if not thousands, of people who can tell you exactly what you need to do to grow a successful online business.  If you’ve been cheap amoxil buying online marketing how-to products for a day, you probably own a product that gives you the mechanics you need.

The difference in those who succeed and those who quit is that the successful believed they would be successful.  And that belief translates into consistent, positive action.  Ironically, if you succeed with the course that doesn’t give you any of that “mindset crap,” it’s because your mindset is where it needs to be.

Here’s what happens if you don’t believe you can achieve success.  You buy a how-to course.  You start doing what it says.  You may follow the course for a day, a week, or a month.  But something happens somewhere along the way.  You don’t make money your first week.  This isn’t as easy as you thought.  It’s too hard to spend two hours a day on this.  You don’t have time.  You don’t have the technical skills required.  This doesn’t work.

And so you stop.  In your mind, it’s not your fault.  The course “didn’t work.”  The fact is, however, that about 90% of the reputable courses out there will work if you work them.  But if you don’t believe that you’ll succeed, you make an excuse to stop working.

If buy online amoxil you do believe, it goes more like this.  You buy the same how-to course.  Initially, many of the same things happen to you.  You don’t make money the first week, or even the first month.  It’s harder than you think.  You become discouraged.

But the similarities in you and the non-believer end there.  You have a burning desire to succeed.  You are motivated by your family, your debt, your job . . .whatever.  Quitting is not an option generic levitra for you because you know persistence pays off.  And you don’t quit until it does.  And so it does.

Many people have the attitude of “okay, I believe, now let’s get on with how to do it.”  That’s not enough.  You can’t just say it, you really have to feel it.

To become a believer in yourself you must consistently work on your personal growth.  Every day.  Before you buy another how-to course, develop a buy penicillin target=”_blank”>personal online amoxil growth plan.  You will feel a difference buy propecia generic in your life within days.  And the difference will change your life forever.

Changing your mindset from scarcity and difficulty to abundance and good fortune isn’t buy Ampicillin that easy.  After all, you grew up with this mindset.  It’s been taught and reinforced to you for 20, 30, 40 years and more.  Not that anyone’s set out to bring you a negative mindset.  To most people, it’s just the reality of how our world is.

But you will find, without exception, that those people who achieve great personal and/or financial success think differently.  And they don’t, for example, believe “life is easy” because they have money.  Rather, they have money because they believe “life is easy.”

If you want to join the 3% of the population for whom success appears to come effortlessly, you have to change your mindset.  It’s not easy, but it is simple.

One buy generic levitra of the most powerful ways amoxil online to change your mindset is generic amoxil through affirmations.  It sounds pretty simple to repeat over and again phrases such as “every day in every way I am richer and richer.”  And it is.  The hard thing is convincing yourself to believe what you’re saying.

Here’s why it works and here’s how you do it.  Your conscious mind — the part of you that believes “life is hard” — makes up only 10% of your mind.  Your conscious mind is resistant to change.  It’s probably not going to buy into your new “good life” point of view.

Your subconscious mind makes up the other 90% of your mind.  Unlike your conscious mind, your subconscious mind believes whatever you tell it, true or not.  If 90% of your mind believes you can have buying propecia online everything you want because you say it’s so, then why isn’t it easy to say you want to wake up in the house of your dreams and have it be so by tomorrow?

Because it’s hard to get the message through to your subconscious mind.  Your conscious mind, the one that operates for you in your daily living, filters and rejects things it doesn’t see as true.  When you say “I have all the money I need,” your conscious mind automatically laughs and replies “your rent is currently 10 days past due.”  It never lets your abundance thinking get through to your subconscious mind.

The key lies in being able to get past your conscious mind.  The best way to do this is to bombard your conscious mind with so much positive thinking that it isn’t capable of fighting it all off.  Think of your conscious mind as a brick wall that separates you from the success you desire.  Your affirmations are the blows you strike to knock down the wall.  It’s going to take more than a amoxil online few blows, but with persistence, the wall will come down.

The reason many people say affirmations don’t work for them is because they quit before the wall is down.  Repeat your affirmations several times every day.  Because your conscious mind is less active when you’re tired, it’s especially important to repeat your affirmations as you drift off to sleep and as you are waking up in the morning.

You can record your affirmations and listen to them on your MP3 as you go to sleep.  You can use a meditation program if you’re into such things.  (Even if you’re not, I highly suggest you try it!)  I use Justin Blake’s Manifestation Meditation.  It’s worked very well for me.

However you go about it, be specific in your affirmations, be consistent in your practice, and be persistent.  Next time, we’ll talk about how convincing yourself you have all the money (or other success) you need translates into reality.

Yet every now and then, I feel negative or depressed about my life.  Or I check my email when I know I should be writing an article.

This used to make amoxil clavulin me doubt myself.  Like maybe I should delete my blog and burn all my writings on self improvement.  If I couldn’t follow my own advice, who was I to preach my stuff to others?

One day I was listening to a Jim Rohn CD in my car.  It wasn’t the first time I’d listened to this program.  But there’s a reason I listen to the same stuff over and over.  Because this was the first time I’d really heard Jim say this.  And I can’t remember the exact context, but he was talking about someone questioning him as to how he put into practice all of the great personal development advice that he taught.  Mr. Rohn laughed as he responded “do as I say, not as I do.”

If Jim Rohn could admit that he still struggles some days, certainly my struggles didn’t have to end the career I so passionately enjoyed.  The truth is, to struggle is human.  And anyone who tells you that she follows a consistently positive generic levitra path of personal growth is lying (or delusional).

Remember, the path of self improvement is a life-long journey.  buy Amoxil online It’s not a destination that we ever reach.  Because no one is perfect.  What fun would that be anyway?  Can you imagine one day declaring that your self improvement is complete and there is nothing you can do, learn or experience that would make you any better?  What would you do the rest of your life?

It’s as important to let sad things make you cry as it is to let happy things make you laugh.  It’s also important to make sure that you don’t let a few bad days throw you off the wagon.

I have a friend who got very into the power of positive thinking.  She used that power to try to attract a lot of big things into her life.  When these things didn’t manifest within a couple of months, she gave up.  She went back to living buy penicillin a life where she was resolved to be less than happy.  To have less than she wanted (and less than she could and should have).

She expected too much too soon.  And in doing so she ignored the good things that were happening as a result of her new attitude.  She was happier and much more fun to be around.  But she didn’t see that.  Because she quit.

Don’t quit.  Don’t go through a bad stretch and declare that “new age touchy feely self improvement stuff” doesn’t work.  Let life hurt.  But hold on.  Push through.  And always keep in the back of your mind that “the sun will come out, tomorrow . . .”  It always does.
