Did you know that all the successful names we hear about each and every day are the very people who made a decisive choice to take action every day of their lives, until they became successful. That was their desire and and their focus and they followed through with it and paid the price.

They didn't just take action. They took action every day of their lives! While most of us tend to do a little fishing at times, we often revert back to letting life get in the way and we take time to to be nothing more than spectators of sort.

Are you more of a spectator in life? Are you a bait cutter?

Or, are you an action taker willing to pay that price?

Interestingly enough. One fellow I talked to a year ago told me I needed to quit online marketing and go do something else. Obviously he clearly understood my words, their meanings, and my attitude. I came across as just, a bait cutter.

Early that year I was tired frustrated and fed up with failing online. I had told him how little I had accomplished and the lack of success I was having and ...He said it was time for me to move on. Perhaps to try something else. And that I didn't seem to have what it took to be a success. Online or Off.

Because you see, action takers would never think or sound this way, or even discuss failure! They would be fishing every chance they got and taking the necessary actions.

They wouldn't be considering the obstacles I was inclined to frustrate myself with. Nor would they be inclined that day, or that entire year. And, they certainly would not allow themselves to revert back to a bait cutting mentality.

Most of us are conditioned from an early age to react based on other things happening in our lives around us. Our results in life prove our lack of controlled mentality. Most of us are conditioned bait cutters. And we even die this way.

Taking action daily even with the distractions of life is the road to success. Even if the action is not successful. Accepting failure and learning from it is a form of success.

Nicely said Rick and 100% true. I think that perhaps the most important item is knowing what you really want. That Why. The thing that keeps you up at night or wakes you up early. The thing that burns inside. It will be hard to excel at anything without that driver.....Dick
Glad to hear you're you are doing well.

I just read an article about Warren Buffet. it stated that he did not make his billions until after he was 50. He never gave up on himself! Charles Dickens was told by several publishing houses that his story A Christmas Carol was garbage but Dickens kept sending the story in anyway and now its one of the most popular story's in regards to Christmas. my favorite song is Last Chance by Shooting Star. The lyrics talk about how individuals across the country have dead dreams in their heart and how they need to stand up on their feet because their life is short as hell and how today may be their last chance to believe in themselves! Great training, thanks!
