The image suits the process perfectly. A multitude of letters, and with a multitude of letters there are endless possibilities. Endless possibilities are good but you only need one word, so what do you do? You sort through the letters and pick the letters that create the word you're looking for. Sound familiar?

If you have no idea where you want your life to be, how do you expect to find the determination and the focus needed to get there. We all want to be able to make money online, but why? Is it really so that you could work from anywhere in the world, or is it so you can brag to your other people that you don't have to "go to work"? There is a difference between the two and it manifests itself in your approach to, and the success within, the process.

A Look at the Difference

Let's say I "believe" I want to make money online so I can work from anywhere in the world. Okay, I get online and start the process. As I go through the steps I think more and more about being in another country. Then (maybe because I'm female) I start thinking about the places I could be. Next thing you know I'm thinking about whether I even want to go somewhere else and calculating how long it'll take me to get there, the cost (both physically and financially). I then decide I don't want to go anywhere else because I don't even like new places and now I've wasted $$ trying to create a dream I didn't even have.

Now let's look at it from the angle that I just want to be able to brag to other people. When I begin the process of working online I simultaneously think of what other people are going to say once I've become successful. I get on the grind and complete each step, using others doubts as motivation and (unbeknownst to me) my own determination to push forward. There may have been times when I ran off the road, but I KNEW that I wanted to be able to brag. So I focused ALL of my energy into what I KNEW I wanted and was able to achieve success.

Determine YOUR Vision

None of this is easy, but you'll never succeed if you aren't trying to find YOUR why? The easy and lazy, thing to do is have someone give you a vision. DIG into yourself and figure out what YOUR vision is and why financial freedom can make it a reality for YOU. Don't DEPEND on others to tell you YOUR why? Only YOU know what it will take to bring YOUR vision to fruition. Yes, there are guides, that can help you along the way, but they won't be much help if you aren't truthful about where you ARE and where you want to BE.
