Written For 5 Successful People
Starting today and over the next week I am going to find and coach 5 people how to create a full time income from home! Right now you are probably thinking why and how and is it even possible. A better question is what are you doing this week?
What Do You Want For Your Life?
The first 40 years that I was on this planet I spent very little time in deep thought giving consideration about the things that I wanted to achieve. Most times I was simply caught up in the day-to-day existence of my life. Without setting any goals of significance I never had to fear failure or at least so I thought. I have spoke to many people over the years that echoed a similar sentiment: all I don’t want to get my hopes up, I might get disappointed! The truth is fear holds us back when we don’t face it and I have learned that a little short term pain can open up a life of long term gain.
Dream The Dream
My advice is to dream the dream and then seek to live your dream. Optimists see the world the way it could be, and themselves the way they choose to be. Pessimists see only lack and limitation, their cup is always half-empty and they feel doomed to a fate they have no control over. One of my coaches said to me, Chuck if you want to change your life then you’re going to have to change your life. I did.
“Picture yourself vividly as winning and that alone will contribute immeasurably to success. Great living starts with a picture, held in your imagination, of what you would like to do or be.”

I’m going to leave you with one my all-time favorite motivational speaker’s (Les Brown) signature closing recitation:
If you want a thing bad enough to go and fight for it
To work day and night for it
To give up your time and your peace and your sleep for it
If all that you dream and scheme is about it
And life seems useless and worthless without it
And you would gladly sweat for it and fret for it and plan for it
And lose all the fear of the opposition for it
And if you would simply go after this thing that you want
With all your capacity and strength’s sagacity
Faith, hope and confidence and stern pertinacity
If neither cold or poverty, famine or gulf
Sickness or pain, of body and brain, from a thing that you want
If dogged and grim, you beseech it, and beset it
With the help of God you will get it!
We all paint our lives as we see ourselves – eg. worthy of greatness or perhaps one of failure and mediocrity. I love what Vincent Van Gogh said: I dream the dream and then paint the dream. What are you going to do with the canvas of your life?
