Who's
Master Of
Your Destiny?
Make Sure
It's You!
Are
You A Talker
Or a Doer?
Like
it or not,
the world
is composed
of two types
of people
- talkers
and doers.
Which
one are you?

About 10 years
ago, a friend
of mine made
a life-altering
decision.
She had been
presented
with an opportunity
to spend one
year as an
exchange student
in Europe,
in several
different
countries.
Now, she didn't
exactly come
from a family
of world travelers,
nor were her
parents wealthy
enough to
send her overseas
for an extended
amount of
time. Come
to think of
it, no one
in her poor
neighborhood
had even dreamed
of doing such
a thing -
they were
to busy struggling
with their
day-to-day
existence.
The temptation
to not consider
it any further
was certainly
very strong.
She had no
idea what
she might
be getting
into; She
didn't know
any foreign
languages.
Going overseas
for a year
meant not
working, spending
lots of her
hard-earned
savings (and
in her neighborhood,
that meant
a lot!) and
leaving behind
family and
friends, something
that she had
never done
before. More
importantly,
when she would
come back,
she'd come
back broke.
She went back
and forth
for quite
a while. In
then end,
she said,
"what
the heck -
the worst
that can happen
is that I
hate it and
come home
early. Who
knows when
I'll have
this kind
of time again?"
Her curiosity
was getting
the best of
her. She called
her school
counselor.
"Sign
me up",
she said.
Needless to
say, her family
thought she
was crazy
and didn't
believe she
was actually
going until
she scraped
together her
meager savings
and left for
the airport
two months
later.
Lessons
Learned
Initially,
the trip across
the pond was
a total disaster.
To begin with,
the airline
bumped her
entire group
- 50 people
- leaving
her to find
other airlines
to get to
Europe. With
her luck,
she ended
up on the
later flight.
Then, she
ended up spending
10 hours in
the airport
before she
finally left.
She was thinking
that she probably
should have
listened to
all the people
that told
her she was
crazy to go.
She arrived,
exhausted
and with a
mean case
of jetlag
in Europe
the next day;
she got to
her apartment
and passed
out.
A funny thing
happened the
next day.
After getting
out and exploring
a bit, she
discovered
that she actually
liked Europe.
It was so
easy to travel
and get around.
She found
her way to
the nearest
travel agency
and bought
a train pass.
The next week,
she traveled
to a few countries
- all on her
own, because
several students
were too afraid
to travel
outside the
"base"
country. This
isn't to say
that she wasn't
apprehensive,
because she
was; however,
she made a
conscious
decision to
overcome her
fear because
she wanted
to find out
what else
was out there.
She wanted
to know what
was beyond
the sheltered
world that
she had once
known. She
discovered
that train
travel across
Europe was
quite easy
and safe,
if one just
used common
sense. After
the first
week, she
traveled,
alone, to
a different
country every
week. She
felt a newfound
sense of independence,
freedom, accomplishment
and success
that she had
never felt
before, and
it felt great!
Her year in
Europe was
a real eye
opener for
her. It exposed
her to things
that she would
never have
experienced
otherwise.
She would
never have
experienced
different
cultures,
systems, met
as many new
people or
learned that
she had a
very adventurous
spirit and
thirst for
knowledge.
And she would
have never
met her
future husband.
They ended
up running
his restaurant
together,
quite successfully,
in Berlin
for another
year, before
they both
returned to
the States.
She was not
as broke as
she had imagined
she would
be!
What's the
lesson from
all this?
Don't let
fear hold
you back -
nothing great
is ever accomplished
without some
risk. Fear
is what keeps
99% of people
from becoming
successful
in life.
Don't let
that happen
to you - know
what you want
and go for
it!
What You
Need To Know
Attaining
success in
life is completely
up to you.
Sure, there
are some factors
that you just
can't control.
The answer?
Don't worry
about them
- worry about
factors that
you can
control -
you
and your
actions and
your thinking.
Points To
Remember:
- Be
open to
all possbilities.
Don't
discount
an idea
just because
it seems
new to
you.
- Don't
let fear
of failure
dominate
you, although
it can
be very
powerful.
Fear is
what stops
99% of
people
from being
successful.
- Recognize
that sometimes
you have
to take
a risk
- successfully
negotiating
risk-taking
is what
makes
one successful
in the
long run.
- Always
keep an
eye out
for new
opportunities.
Success
in life is
about finding
inner peace,
satisfaction
and emotional
stability.
You can't
achieve that
until you
change your
thinking,
start thinking
out of the
box and take
some risk.
This applies
to business
as well as
to your personal
life.
You've got
to be able
to step out
of your "comfort
zone".
Some Of
The Pillars
Of Success:
- Plan
your work,
and work
your plan!
- Strive
for excellence.
Set your
own goals
- don't
try to
reach
the goals
of others
- Make
a commitment
and stick
to it!
- Accept
that disappointments
are a
fact of
life.
Instead
of allowing
them to
hold you
back,
overcome
them and
you will
become
stronger.
- Turn
every
experience,
whether
good or
bad, into
a learning
experience.
-
Live each
day as
if it
were your
last;
have no
regrets.
Some
Final Words
..
There
are more talkers
than doers
in our society.
Which one
are you? Do
you wait
for things
to happen,
or do you
make
them happen?
If you think
that things
will happen
for you if
you just
think about
it and
fail to take
action, I
have bad news
for you. They
won't. The
only thing
worse than
procrastinating
for a day
is procrastinating
for a day
and a minute.
It's time
to stop thinking
about making
a change to
ensure your
future success
and time to
do something
about it.
Starting a
home based
business if
the first
step that
you need to
be willing
to take -
for your financial
independence,
your financial
security and
that of your
family.
If
you don't
look out for
you, who will?
I have the
answer - no
one. If you
are ready
to take control
of your destiny
then now is
the time to
start. I can
show you the
way - but
it is up to
you to make
the decision
to change
your life
for the better
and take that
first step.

you're not
