Sure, even successful people have indecision at times. But, they beat that back the second it appears. They know the road they are traveling. And they run into obstacles along the way, but they don't hit a road block that every stops them for good.

You may have heard some of the big names, and how they went on to triumphant success.

Well, I've read up on many of these myself, and they all had issues and distractions in their lives. But, through all of thee they maintained focus and they paid the price to get the results they achieved.

One thing they developed was an undaunted desire to focus on one thing and see it through. Bill Gates...Steve jobs... Even buffet had many set-backs and, well, for now we want get into these stories.

But if you get a chance you should read buffets biography. Great sense of humor, he once said you cannot make a baby in less than 9 months, even if you get nine women pregnant the first month.. Crazy stuff there.

Back to reality. 80 percent of our success comes from being absolutely clear on what we are wanting to accomplish.

And even 80 percent of our failure rate comes from having vague ideas of what we want to do and then take no action.

Remember the character J. R. Ewing on the television series, Dallas? That series was based on the oil tycoon Haroldson Lafayette, or better known as H. L. Hunt.

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!
