<< BE READY TO LEARN >>


This will be the last 2 keys for you in your road to success. You must be willing to learn, learn and learn. Especially with the existence of internet, you can find tons of information from it. If you wanted to know how to lose weight, simply search the terms in search engine like Yahoo and Google, and you can find a lot of information telling you how you can lose weight.
It is the same if you want to know how to make more money online. You can also search for all the information regarding how you can make more money online. Of course most of the times you will come across to a sale page. They are selling all these info to help you achieve what you want in life. However, there is also information that is free for you. So you see, there are basically tons of people who are ready to teach you how to success in the net, not only in the net actually, there are also many gurus you can find in your real life. The question now is whether you are willing to learn or not.
There are forums, article directories, and even blogs (just like mine) which are always flooded with a lot of information. All you need to do is to dig up all the information and use it for your own. You must always update yourself because with the existent of internet, everything changes rapidly.
About learning, you first must be someone who is “learnable”. I believe you’ve come across some people who are not learnable; they just don’t willing to learn. For example, these people do not willing to listen to their juniors, they thought that they’ve known everything. This kind of people will not go far in their life. The next thing is that you must be “teachable”. You must be willing to teach people about what you’ve learned. Only then you can achieve success more easily.
The one who gives will always receive what they deserve. From the golden rule of life, “Do not do unto others what you do not want others to do unto you”. So you see, if you want more, then you will have to give more. If you want more money, then make others more money and eventually you will get more money.
Another interesting point about learning to success is that you can learn from those who had succeeded, and model their footsteps. If you want to lose weight, then learn the footsteps of those who had successfully lost their weight. As simple as that. Hence, you must be willing to learn everyday. From the moment we were born, we are already in the process of learning every single day. So nothing should stop us from learning, until the day we were gone.
So are you ready to learn more? Look at this example; can you learn how to ride a bicycle by reading a book? No, you cannot. Why? Simply because some of the things require hands-on and not by learning just the theory. This is the same as if you want to make money and become a Millionaire. Hence, can you become a Millionaire by reading a book? Not at all, because reading a book and taking actions are two different things.
Some people read a lot of wealth books, but still they are not rich, because they did not apply what have been taught in the books. What I wanted to tell you here is that, solely with just learning is not enough. Yes, you need to learn, but you should also put what you’ve learned into actions.
We’re living in an information age, if you are not willing to learn, then you will fall behind. Today, it is easier to create wealth, meaning that it is easier to become a Millionaire. There are more millionaires now than before, because if you have a creative idea, you can make a fortune. Look at Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Jerry Young; all made their fortune at a very young age.
All these successful young entrepreneurs made their fortune with a creative idea; of course, they do really put a lot of effort into it. This is what I wanted to tell you. If you are willing to learn, someday you will eventually come up with a brilliant idea just like them.
Well, this is it, key #11 – Be Willing To Learn. Bear in mind, learning is a process; you will need to take action on it. Without action, what you’ve learned will be useless.
Are you ready to discover the final key to success? If you are reading up until this point, congratulations. You are already one step ahead of most people out there, because most of the people, who purchase a book, did not actually finish it.
Let us continue…

<< POSITIVE THINKING >>


Positive thinking brings inner peace,satisfaction,improved relationship,happiness,better health and success.It also helps the daily affairs of life move more smoothly and makes life look bright and promising.


Effective positive thinking that brings result is much more than just repeating a few positive words or telling yourself that everything is going to be all right.It has to be your predominant mental attitude.It is not enough to think positively for a few moments,and then letting fears and lack of belief enter your mind.Some efforts and inner works are necessary.


Positive thinking is contagious as people around you pick your mental moods and are affected accordingly.Think about good health,happiness and success and you will cause people to like you and desire to help you,because they enjoy the vibrations that a positive mind emits.  




FEW ACTIONS AND TIPS TO DEVELOP POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING ::

<< SUCCESS REQUIRES NO SECRET >>


Well, if you’re following me from the beginning up until now, you’ve gone through all the 11 keys to success. This is the final key, Success Require No Secrets. If you’ve gone through all the 11 keys with me, you will know that you already have all the resources (keys) to succeed. To achieve what you want, it requires no secrets, but hard work and determination.
To be successful, you have to love what you do. If you want to make money from investment, then you will have to love to invest. The power of love is much bigger than you can ever expect. Only when you love to do your work, you can do it better. If you hate to succeed, do you think that you can achieve it? That will be impossible. For example, when you love someone, you are willing to do whatever it takes to be together with him or her. This is the same in pursuing your goals to success.
After you’ve read all these keys to success, you have a choice to make decisions. You can choose whether to work harder towards your goals, or you can choose to remain the same. The choice is in your hand. No matter what choices you made, you will still make a choice. What I mean here is even if you choose not to make any decision; you’re still making a choice. Therefore, in our lives, we always have a choice. This is because we can control our thinking.
The significance about controlling our thinking is that we can make things change. Mindset is the most valuable asset that everyone can have. It is not why some people are far richer than you just because they have much more money. It is because the mindset they have is different from yours.Mindset determines everything in our lives, the things we do, our behavior, our thinking, everything. Therefore you need to know how to take charge of your mind.
Success require no secrets, it is all about mindset. Everyone can buy the same wealth book that teaches you how to be rich, but not everyone can be rich after reading that book.
Why? Because the mindset is different. You can have a book that teaches you from beginning until the end on how to become a Millionaire; however if you give up in the half way, everything will be wasted. Thus it is the mindset that is more important, often, “why” is more crucial than “how”. If you know “why” you want to success, then no matter “how” hard it will be, nothing can ever stop you.
The moment you know why you want to succeed, you will somehow come up with some plan and strategies to achieve it. Like the famous saying, “when there is a will, there is a way”. Hence, if you want to be successful, just focus on creating a will.
Now, what do you feel after reading all these so-called keys to success? They are not any big secrets; all of the keys here are nothing but your mindset and your beliefs. It is you that is going to determine your success, not any secrets that you never heard before. I believe that you have heard about all the keys here, just that you never really notice about how important they are in your life.
What I wanted to tell you here is that success lies within your hands. It is how you treat success that matters. If you are serious, you are willing to put in a lot of effort and determination, nothing can ever stop you. Success will eventually be yours. However, if you keep on procrastinating, not taking any actions, and you are not serious about it, then I don’t think that you can achieve amazing results in your life.
Life is short; you must appreciate what lies in front of you. You can treat success as a game; life is a game after all. However, you must know how to play the game of life, don’t break the rules. If there is one thing I can tell you now, I will tell you to be serious and committed in everything you do.
I’m not saying that you should work and pursue success 24 hours. What I mean here is that you should do everything with 100 percent commitment and be serious in it. Even if you are enjoying, enjoy it seriously. Often, it is because of our bad habit of not doing things seriously that make us fail to achieve what we want. Therefore, learn from now on, to be serious in everything you do, even when you are playing games, play it seriously.

<< HAVE A BURNING DESIRE >>


Again, this is a very important key that is going to help you open the door to your success. Without this key, it is almost impossible for you to achieve success. In this world, who doesn’t want to be rich, who doesn’t want to be successful? Everyone wants success. If you meet a beggar, just ask him whether if he wants to be successful. I bet, he’ll say yes. But then he will always remain as a beggar, why? Because he doesn’t have the burning desire to be successful!
So what exactly does this burning desire mean? Burning desire is not the same as what you wish. Burning desire is not the same as what you want.Burning desire is something that it is a MUST for you. You cannot live without it. Just imagine, if you’re in a desert now, it’s so hot and you’re almost going to die because of thirsty. Suddenly you saw someone come by and he is holding a bottle of water. You straight away walk to him and ask for water. Now, what if that person doesn’t want to give you his water? You will kill him if he is not giving you the water. So this is the burning desire, it is a must for you.
Still not clear enough? Ok, let me give you another example. Assume that you don’t know how to swim. You go to a swimming pool and suddenly you fall into the pool. The pool is so deep and you will drown. The moment you are drowning, will you think like this? “Oh, I don’t know how to swim. If only I know to swim then I won’t be dead”. Honestly, what will you do? Struggle! Why? Because you want to live. It has become a burning desire for you to stay alive.
Many people want to be a Millionaire, but most of them won’t achieve it because it is not a must for them. If something is a must for you, you will do whatever it takes to get it. This is the burning desire that you need if you want to succeed in your life. Success never comes automatically; you will need to spend a lot of time and effort on it.
Here is a great story that I would like to share with you. Long ago, there is a King, and he wants to conquer an island. Therefore, the King orders a General to handle this mission. The King only gives the General 100 soldiers. And the enemy has got 1,000 soldiers guarding that island. So how is this general going to win this war? They are outnumbered.
What the General did was that he burned all the ships that carry his men to the island. Now, there is no way back, it is either kill or been killed. The General leaves his men no choice but to win the war. In the end, they did win the war. And the moral of the story? If you want something so badly, you will eventually achieve it. Hence, set your goals to become a must for you, a burning desire.
If your goals are not a must for you, the moment you face problems and feel frustrated, you will give up fast. However, if your goals are must for you, then you will do whatever it takes to achieve it. You will get up fast the time you feel frustrated. Thus you can see now how important a burning desire is.
Don’t worries if you don’t know how to make your goals come true, just set your goal. There is a saying, “When there is a will, there is a way”. So just set your goals and your burning desire will come up with some ways to achieve them. Many people give excuses like they say that they don’t know how to achieve what they want. Such as if their goal is to create an extra stream of income online, they will give excuses like they don’t know how to create a website. Is this true? Not really actually, if you have a strong burning desire, you will automatically look for ways on how to create a website.
So stop giving these kinds of lousy excuses anymore. You know that you can achieve anything if you want to, nothing is impossible for you. 50 years ago, stepping on the moon is a myth; even hand phone is also a myth. Nobody is going to believe that you can connect with people using a small device called hand phone 50 years ago. But look, hand phone has become so common now, almost everyone owns it. All thanks to those who have the burning desire to make all these come true.
It is the reason that you want something so badly that develops your burning desire. And it is your burning desire that drives you into taking action to make your dreams and goals come true in your life.
The conclusion, make your dreams and goals a MUST for you. If you do this, I can GUARANTEE that you can achieve them. Nothing is impossible.

<< BE RESPONSIBLE >>


This is a very great key. If you can take all the responsibility, then you won’t blame anyone. You must know that this is your life, and if you want to succeed, you will have to walk this road on your own. Don’t give any excuses and don’t blame anyone if you fail.Keys to Success - Be Responsible
Have you ever heard of this word “if”? This is a very lousy excuse often given by many people. Let me gives you some example here. “If I have a car, then I can make more money”, “if only I have more time, then I will invest my money”. Frankly, did you ever hear all these excuses before? Are you using them often?
These words are so easy to use, but don’t use them, they will not bring you what you want. Take all the responsibility, only then you can move to a higher level. Now, you must learn to make good use of this power of responsibility in your life. How? Very simple, take all the responsibility and keep on improving yourself.
Allow me to give you an example here. Like me, I’m a student (the moment I wrote this), and if I failed my exam, I can choose to either blame the lecturer for not teaching me properly and there is nothing I can do. Or I can blame myself and take all the responsibility, so that I can study harder for the next exam. Therefore you see, if you take the responsibility, you will have the power to improve yourself, you have the power to control the situation.
The moment you blame the whole world, you won’t have the power to change. You will lose the chances of improving yourself. If your boss is not giving you a raise in salary, you can blame yourself for not performing well enough. What if after you’ve delivered your hard work, still your boss is not giving you a raise? You can still take the responsibility that you’re not showing your hard work to your boss.
You know, there is no use if you work so hard and nobody knows about it. You must show your hard work to your boss. Well, you may say you’ve worked hard and you’ve also shown it to your boss, but your boss still is not giving you a raise. Let me tells you what, take the responsibility, and leave. If you’ve created more value and your boss is not appreciating you, then you should leave. This is because the market outside will appreciate your value and pay you more.
So now you know how crucial this key can be. The moment you take all the responsibility, you are taking up the choice to improve. However, there is one more situation can happen when you OVER TAKE the responsibility. That is when you blame yourself too much until you stay in a depress state and not improving yourself. This is a very bad thing that can happen.
I mean you should blame yourself and take the responsibility, but it is not to the extent that you blame yourself until you feel depress and stay in a frustrated state. This will make the situation worse and you are not going to change. Therefore you must always control your emotion, make the positive decision, just like what you’ve learned in KEY #2 – Control Your Emotion.
Know this, “victim blames, victor learns”. You will adopt the mindset of a victim if you keep on giving lousy excuses like you don’t have the luck, you don’t have the time, and you don’t have the knowledge. The problem is, the moment you start giving excuses, you are giving away the power of controlling the situation.
For example, if you tell yourself that you don’t have the luck, you are giving away your power of controlling your life and wealth. Meaning that you don’t have the ability to take charge and change the situation, simply because you think that it is not your fault and not your responsibility. Hence, you will lose the power of controlling your life and your wealth.
The moment you give excuses like the economy has been down for the last 5 years, you are not going to learn from it. If you think it this way, you are not going to change. However, if you take 100 percent responsibility and adopt the victor’s mindset, you will take charge of your life. You will think differently like you if your business fails, you will think of it is because of you are not doing well enough, your sales and closing are not good enough.
Can you see it now? If you take the responsibility, you will have the ability and power to controlling what is happening in your surrounding. But if you give excuses and never take the responsibility, you are not going to change anything.
If you use this power of responsibility wisely, it can become a leveraging tool that will move you to a higher state of success. It will give you a flow of energy and you should put this energy in your life. Remember, it is your fault if you can’t achieve what you want. Just like what I said in the beginning, if people move much faster than you, not because they are faster, but it is because of you are moving slower than them. The moment you see someone is hard working, it is because you are lazy, not because they are hard working. Apply this concept, and take the responsibility.
Once you start to take the responsibility, you can see that your life start to change. You will start to learn and make things come true.

<< BE PREPARED TO STRIVE FOR SUCCESS >>


You must always be prepared to strive, anytime! This is what you need if you want to be successful. Did you know that every morning, in Africa, a deer must always be prepared to run! Why? Because if the deer is not prepared or run slower, it will become a lion’s breakfast. Did you know that every morning when a lion wakes up, it must be prepared to run? Why? Because if it is not prepared or run slower than the deer, it is not going to has any breakfast. So this is what is happening in the real world. You must always be prepared. If you’re not, you either ends up don’t have any breakfast and died of hunger, or become the breakfast of the lions. It may sound cruel, but this is the real world. Always be prepared to strive!
The more you struggle for life the more successful you will be. You know, right now, if you are in your 30s, it is great news because time is your most valuable asset. You can afford to fall (fail) and get up again, why? Because you are still young. You can fall for 29 times and still manage to wake up for the 30th time. When you are at the age of 25, and if you still don’t want to strive for success, then when are you going to pursue for your success? At the age of 55? Therefore, don’t wait, always pursue and strive for the better for your future.
In our life, we have only one season. During spring, it is the moment when we are still young; we are at the age of 20s. It is the best if we get ready and prepare for our future. Then summer will come. This is a very hot season, you will be in the age of around 30, and you must work harder and put in more effort. This is the best time for you to strive for your future and success.
Once you miss this opportunity, autumn will arrive; you will be in your 40s. You will start feeling cold and lazy to move. If you miss out all these 3 seasons, you will eventually come to winter. It is very cold in winter and you are at the age of 50s. Do you think that you will still want to strive for success at this age? Honestly, I don’t think so. Hence, you must always be prepared to strive whenever you can. Don’t wait because time waits for no one!
You must be hard working, just like an ant. I believe that you’ve heard or seen the cartoon about the ant and the grasshopper. The ants are very hardworking, during spring time; they keep on searching and collecting their food. As for the grasshopper, it is very lazy, laughing at the ants, saying that it is spring and they should enjoy it. Why work when the times they can enjoy?
Then the time passed by, winter has arrived. It is cold, but the ants are having lots of fun enjoying the food they have harvested before. As for the grasshopper, since it has never looked for any food, it is starving of hunger. And died in the end. Thus now you can see, why we need to strive even at the time we can enjoy ourselves.
Well I’m not saying that you must be working to make your dreams come true 24 hours a day. What I mean here is that, no matter what you do, you must do it with 100 percent commitmentand serious in it. Even if you are enjoying, ENJOY IT SERIOUSLY. It is the commitment and seriousness that counts.
We strive because we want to have a better future, we want to succeed. Many people wait. They wait for the economy to turn brighter; they wait for opportunity to come to them. Let me tells you, when the economy is down, don’t blame anyone, just be prepared for it. And when the economy turns up, it will be the time for you to harvest your rewards.
In fact, the best time to strive is when the economy is down. This is because when the economy turns well, you will be the leader of your market. Just take all the challenges as a test given from god. God is testing how strong and solid your business is.
Most of us will just follow the crowd. We do what others are doing, that is why we are just followers and not leaders. If you want to be special, and successful, then do what others are not doing. Too many of us are not aware of the importance of being successful. We did what others told us to do or follow what others are doing. Just like we go to school to get good grades, because our parents told us to, and because everyone is doing so.
We never really realize the real reason why we go to the school. Then after graduation, we will just find a job, and stick to it everyday from 9 to 5. Again, it is because everyone is doing so, that is why we are doing it. We never really think about what we want in the future, what kind of results that we want to create.
If you want to be successful today, you will have to think for yourself, not for others! You must know what exactly you like and where your interest is. I have a friend, and he told me that to work from 9 to 5 is something inevitable, he said that “This is life, a boring life, and there is nothing I can do to change it”. Can you see that? That is why I told you if you want to create amazing results in your life, you have to be different.
Think for yourself, plan for yourself, it is your future, not mine.
The moment you are not planning for yourselves, you will fall into other people’s plan; you will become the stepping stones in other people’s route to success. Strive for success while you can, and that is what makes life so wonderful.

<< CONTROL YOUE EMOTIONS >>


Are emotions important to us? Indeed. All of our work will be influenced by our emotions. So what if you’re in a bad emotion? Do you think that you can deliver a perfect job if your emotion is bad at that time? If you want success, especially for businessman, then you will need to learn how to control your emotions. This is because they need to deal with people all the time to have your business done. If you don’t control your emotions, it is impossible to get your business deals in a nice and perfect way. Another great example is for network marketers. Every network marketers need to contact with their members all the time. So if they cannot control their emotions, all their members will leave them eventually.
You need to feel happy all the time. You need to feel positive all the time. Let me give you an example here of how important controlling your emotions can be. There is a father, who works in an insurance firm. One day he had been fired from his company. So he is in a very bad mood. When driving home, the traffic jams. He is so angry and keeps on sounding horns. Suddenly a car hits his car from the back. Now he is getting angrier and get out of his car, quarrel with the one who hit his car. Back at home, he sees his wife and he straight away scold her. Then went into his room and slam the door.
Now, the wife too is getting angry because her husband scolded her without any reasonable reason. The wife keeps scolding their children, throwing things. Then one of the kids drops some food on the floor and the wife give that kid a slap on the face. Did the kid feel happy? Of course not, the kid moves out of the house, and sees a cat walking across. What that kid did? That kid kicks that poor cat. Therefore you see, the negative effect of having bad emotion is so powerful. What if you are happy all the times? You can imagine that your positive emotions will influence all the people around you.
There are a lot of downs in our life. And many people don’t know how to control their emotions to face their downs. We are humans, we are can control our emotions. Why can we control our emotion? It is because we can control our thinking. And why can we control our thinking? It is because we have the power of making decisions. Thus you must learn how to make the right decisions.
Talking about controlling your emotions, what should you do when you’re upset or angry? Well, you can take bath, sing songs, etc. Just make yourself feel comfortable. You can even pretend to be happy when you are upset. Please don’t say that I’m crazy, but this is true and it definitely will help to cure your sadness. Some people say, when you’re down, try to smile and laugh more. The more you pretend the more it will come true. This is the same as reviewing your goals every night and what you need to do and dream about what kind of lifestyle you want. Your mind will stimulate it to become true.
Did you know that by practicing good and positive emotions and attitude everyday can lead you to a healthier, a more successful life? If you do so, you will influence all the people around you. You are going to create a positive and motivated environment. Just like in network marketing, did you know why network marketers always start their business by recruiting their family members?
This is because if your surrounding is doing the same thing like what you do (to make money or to be successful), you will always be in that topic, and hence you will be more motivated. What kind of emotions you have are going to determine what kind of environment you will be in. Add up 5 annual salaries of your good friends, and then divide the number with 5. You will notice that the number is close with your salary as well. This is the power of surrounding.
If you want to be successful today, always mess with successful people, let their positive thinking influence you. That is why creating a mastermind group, sharing thoughts with people that have the same goals with you are so much important.
