Take your pick of any object, business, person, pet, building, or really just the first thing that pops into your mind. Now analyze it. Was your analysis negative or positive? Was it constructive or destructive? Based on your thoughts, you should realize how you think. If you are destined for negative results in your life, you would first find everything that is wrong with the object before you even think about looking into what may be good about it. Anybody can find something wrong with anything in this world if they are looking for it. If you are looking for the good in things, you will be sure to find that as well.

Donald Trump stood in front of an audience and was asked something along the lines of, “If you had to start all over again with nothing, what would you do?” His response was, “I’d get into a network marketing business.” The crowd laughed and booed him! He held his ground and said to the audience, “That is exaclty why I am here, and you are there!” Most people just do not get it. They cannot comprehend success. It is just not a word that has much meaning to them. That is why they will continue with their same results and remain where they are financially, emotionally, and physically. Success is much more than just making money, it is the whole package. I am successful at my family, my marriage, my physical health, my income, and my life. I work on myself and the rest comes with it.

If you are someone who is bound for success, then you will find opportunity instead of fault, success instead of failure, good instead of bad. The only reason why I am successful and you will become successful is because you are opportunity bound, because of the way you think. Make it a point to change you way of thinking. Your life and your future depend on it!

It is Monday morning and I am off to the pool with my family. It seems to be a tradition for us during the Summer. We live in a country club and have a clubhouse with all kinds of things to do as a family. Since we live in a ski resort community, there aren’t very many outdoor pools available and our swimming season is short. So we take advantage of the pool there at the clubhouse and will go swimming every day at around 10 or 11 AM. Today just happens to be Monday and we are off to the pool.

You know the funny thing is, I never see any other Dads there with their families. They are all off at work somewhere. I love this business as it allows me to do what I want, when I want. My kids really are spoiled. They knew what it was like when Dad was gone all day at work. So they are glad to have me home every day. Anyway, it’s time for me to go. Find the time to research this business as it can and will provide to you the same kind of lifestyle that I enjoy.

“There is only one success: to be able to spend your life in your own way, not give others absurd maddening claims upon it. ” I read this quote on the Myspace of a high school friend just today and this quote really hits home with me. I tell you what, if this quote has no meaning for you and doesn’t bring up any sort of inspiration, you are not experiencing life. The only true life is a life well lived, the way we want to live it. I mean really, is there any other way to live than the way you want to?

What have you experienced in life that is most meaningful to you? What pictures are imprinted upon your mind that you reflect on time and time again? What do you love to do? Where do you love to go? What is your perfect day? I know the answer to all of these questions. What has the most meaning to you in your life and what are you willing to do to keep that? What are you not doing that you would love to do? Find your passion, something that you love doing, and go do it. That is living life on your terms.

Have you ever just sat there and enjoyed a sun set? Have you ever seen a sun set, while above the clouds? It is amazing! You really don’t know where the sky stops and eternity begins. Have you been in the Bermuda Triangle at midnight swimming with the luminescent microplankton, where every movement in the water lights up the water around you? It feels like you are a glorified being floating in heaven. Have you been to the other side of the world? It feels as though time travel is possible when you leave Sydney at 1 PM and arrive in Los Angeles at 10 AM the same day. Have you seen the water in Hawaii? The water is so clear you can see 100 ft to the bottom and see the smallest fish in colorful detail. Have you seen the Grand Canyon in Arizona? Have you met your soulmate and partner? Do you have a sense of fulfillment and happiness? Can you picture your life 10 years from now and know exactly where you will be? Will you be successful? Will you be happy? Life is all about creating joyful, fulfilling memories. Live life to it’s fullest and experience the abundance the world has to offer. Choose to live life in your own way, for yourself and those you love the most!

I love the topic of decision and self-accountability. They go hand in hand virtually and one without the other will result in deserved results. I say ‘deserved’ because whether or not you choose to do something, you have still made a choice. If you have not yet decided to do something, you have decided not to do something. Thus, you deserve whatever result you get because you either chose to decide or not decide. Realize that you are the one that determines your results in life and take ownership of that with both good and bad results.

I deal with many people who are looking for a better way of life through this business opportunity. Now, here are the percentages again. 3% of people live the life they have always imagined and are happy, wealthy, and content with where they are and where they are headed. The other 97% are exaclty the opposite. They are not content with where they are in life and have no idea how to get where they want to be. They are not living their dreams. You know the difference between the two groups right? The main difference is just their abilities to decide. Their past decisions have them right where they are. 97% of people in this world would just rather not make the decision to move forward in a business that would give them the life they have always imagined. That would mean that they would have to turn off the TV or get uncomfortable! Heaven forbid!That is why they are not living their dreams. Failure to decide and act upon that decision is failure. This is all simple physics and common sense.

If you have a burning desire within to do something better with your life and be part of the 3% who are wealthy, happy and content with where they are headed, then decide to take action today. Don’t procrastinate the day of your success. The best time to begin on that journey is now. Not tomorrow, but now. Things in life will always come up, but you must plow through them and follow your passions. If you are searching for the vehicle, I will show you a business opportunity that will change your life.

One of the first things successful people realize is the old adage, “if it is to be, it is up to me.” That is, for you, the fact that your success and your course is up to you. This doesn’t mean that you do it all alone. It simply means that you take responsibility for your life and your career.

Too many people today look at opportunity and figure it is up to someone else to make sure they get it. They look at financial security and hope that the government will make sure they live safely in retirement or in case of disability. They wait and wait, figuring that it is up to someone else. And then the wait is over, and it is too late to do anything. Their life is over and they are filled with regret.

This isn’t true for you however. You know that you must take responsibility for your life. It is up to you.

The fact is that nobody else is going to do it for you, you must do it yourself.

Now, some people may say, “Jim, that’s a lot of responsibility.” Friends, that is the best news you can ever hear. You get to choose your life. Hundreds of millions of people all around this world would give anything to live in the situation you do just for the chance to have the opportunity to take control of their destiny. “It is up to you” is a great blessing!

Here’s why:

1. You get to chart your own destiny. Maybe you want to start a small business and stay there. That’s great because you can choose that. Maybe you want to create a small chain of stores. Maybe you want to have a net worth of $100 million. That’s okay too. The idea is that you get to choose. You can do whatever you like. Different people have different dreams and they should live them accordingly.

2. You can reap what you sow. Sleep in and go to work late and reap the return. Or get up early and outwork the others and earn a greater return. Place your capital at risk and earn a return or place it at greater risk and perhaps reap a greater return. You decide what you will sow and thus what you will reap.

3. No one else can stop you from getting your dream. Yes, there will always be things that come up and people who may not like what you are doing, but you can just move on and chart your own course. There is great freedom in that.

4. You experience the joy of self-determination. There is no greater pride than knowing you set your mind on something and accomplished it. Those who live with a victim mentality never get to experience the joy of accomplishment because they are always waiting for someone else to come to the rescue. Those who take responsibility get to live the joy of seeing a job well done.

Let me ask you a question: Where will you be in 5 years? 10 years? Or 25 years? Do you know? DO you have an idea? Have you ever dreamed about it or set a goal for it? Are you willing to take responsibility and recognize that, “It is up to you?”

You will be wherever you decide to be in those timeframes. You decide. It is up to you.

And that is very exciting!

I am so excited to see what tomorrow will hold for my family and I since we have taken control of our lives. I create what happens in my life today and tomorrow. If you work a job, you create your life to an extent. You had part in creating that job in your life but while you are at that job, your creation is limited. If you are reading this blog today, you are looking for a way out. You are looking for a business opportunity that will give you the time and money to do as you please. What are you wainting for? Are you waiting to feel more comfortable about starting a business opportunity? If you are, get used to waiting because it will never feel comfortable. That is part of growth. If you are never uncomfortable, chances are, you are not growing. Recognize that when you are uncomfortable, you are growing and learning. That is a good thing.

I spoke with a good friend yesterday about business and life. He is in the sales industry and does very well for himself. Seriously, whatever this guy does, he succeeds at. That is why I love hanging around him and having him as a friend. Even though he is successful, he seemed to want something different. He wanted complete control over his income, his time, and his life. The company he is with, has great potential for him and his career, but with baggage. He wants a life without the baggage. I don’t blame him. Seriously, what would life be like without any limitations. Let me repeat that…..A life without limitations! No worries about money, bosses, bills, homes, cars, things being to expensive, vacations, etc…..Just do what you want, when you want to do it. Don’t think, just do. No Limits!

There is never a better time to follow your dreams, to go after what you want, and to live life on your terms than now…and now…and now! What are you waiting for? Do what your heart tells you to do. You don’t have to quit your job just yet until you replace your income. Just take a step towards your dreams. One little step at a time and eventually you will get there. Take bigger steps and you will get there faster. But whatever you do, don’t get comfortable with being comfortable, and don’t delay it. Take action for you!
