The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore…Dale Carnegie
What are you willing to do today that you’ve lately been unwilling to step into?
3% of the people wanting success are willing to learn how to be, do, and have the things their hearts desire. They are the ones who make life perfect. Wouldn’t you rather be living the life you desire and stop sitting on the couch watching another sitcom?
When you throw a pebble into the water it creates ripples.
Know what you want to create as an end result, and never wonder about where and how to start. Just start with one baby step, and the rest begins to show up as you go along. You can adjust and revise as you go along. The pond will eventually expand into a lake and eventually your ripples will become waves.
Tiffany Dow, has just published a new book on building your own ebook empire.
She has written dozens of ebooks from just about any topic you can imagine (building a business online to surviving earthquakes in the Middle East!). And although she started writing these books for other people, she was smart enough to figure out the process she was doing.
And she figured out that the process was just as easy to do for herself as it was to do for other people.
The ebook is a powerful way to communicate with your customers, to build trust, and bond with them in a way that static webpages and even blogs simply can’t do as effectively.
Pick up Tiffany’s book, and add it to your educational library. Tiffany’s teaching ability is fantastic.
After reading her book (you’ll love the A-Z approach to this topic that Tiffany takes), get started ASAP with your first book.
Add to it each week, and within a month or two, your first book could be reaching customers and adding ncome to your business.
If you are not sure what to write about yet, or how to write effectively, Tiffany’s going to show you that as well.
There are around 6 billion people on this planet and every one of those people has thoughts. Scientists believe that the average person has up to 50,000 thoughts per day so when you multiply how many thoughts each individual has each day by the population of the planet, that is a lot of thoughts. It is all those trillions and trillions of thoughts that produce a kind of energy which shapes the world we see and live in. All these thoughts are like cosmic glue holding our reality in place.
Over the course of time the world changes. You will notice over the course of a decade that the world is slightly different in it’s appearance and the attitude of the people inhabiting the world in each new decade is also different. After a hundred years you will notice a much greater change in the world’s appearance and the attitude of its people. The reason the world changes is because our collective thinking changes.
What I am referring to is how we each affect each other whether we are aware of it or not. One of the most destructive devices in the modern world that causes so much death, destruction, fear and chaos is the TV. Yes the television is perhaps the most dangerous piece of equipment every built. Many or should I say most people in the developed world watch TV everyday and give very little thought to what it is they are doing to themselves. They turn on the box and watch the news programs and listen to all the statistics on how many women die of breast cancer and how many men will develop heart disease and how terrorism is becoming a huge problem throughout many countries in the world and they believe what they hear. That is where the problem lies, they believe what they hear.

You cannot always stay on the summits.
You have to come down again . . .
So what’s the point?
Only this: what is above knows what is below,
what is below does not know what is above.
While climbing, take note of all the difficulties along your path.
During the descent, you will no longer see them,
but you will know that they are there if you have observed carefully.
There is an art to finding your way in the lower regions
by the memory of what you have seen when you were higher up.
When you can no longer see, you can at least still know. . .
Keep your eyes fixed on the way to the top,
but don’t forget to look at your feet.
The last step depends on the first.
Don’t think you have arrived just because you see the peak.
Watch your feet, be certain of your next step,
but don’t let this distract you from the highest goal.
The first step depends on the last.

The successful person has the habit of doing the things failures don’t like to do. They don’t like doing them either necessarily. But their disliking is subordinated to the strength of their purpose…E.M. Gray

Create the outcome that you want.
Are you certain that the goals you’ve set will really deliver on the intended outcomes you’re after? If you think you have to get ‘this’ in order to have ‘that’, then what you really want is ‘that’, not ‘this’. I sometimes ask clients to write five heartfelt reasons for wanting their goal accomplished; often inside of their responses we would find the more true goal to work toward.
At the Northstar Thinktank they scour the world for relevant business resources.
Inboxes and mailboxes are constantly bombarded with business information. You probably experience something similar.
Northstar receive every newsletter, subscription, and new book on business that you can imagine.
It takes a lot of time, but they actually read and review ALL of it.
And that’s in addition to all of the information they proactively seek out through worldwide business research.
Unfortunately, most of it’s irrelevant.
But among the massive volume of business information they scour everyday — they do find great nuggets of applicable business information.
“Applicable” is the key for Northstar. They do enjoy interesting information. But what matters is applicable information that we can implement toward business growth, right away.
Their applicable and relevant information applies to the 3 core elements of business building:
*Research & Planning
*Sales & Marketing
*Growth & Execution
The Northstar team has built many companies, worth millions. And they’ve come to realize that what really matters in business success is that you focus on those three areas.
They’ve spent the last year building new tools that Northstar Thinktank subscribers can use to effectively navigate the entrepreneurial path.

One of Whitney Houston’s songs says “Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all.” True enough. In order to love others, you must love yourself too. Remember, you cannot give what you do not have.
Before telling other people some ways on how to improve themselves, let them see that you yourself is a representation and a product of self improvement. Self improvement makes us better people, we then inspire other people, and then the rest of the world will follow.
Stop thinking of yourselves as second-rate beings. Forget the repetitive thought of “If only I was richer… if only I was thinner” and so on. Accepting your true self is the first step to self improvement. We need to stop comparing ourselves to others only to find out at the end that we’ve got 10 more reasons to envy them.
We all have our insecurities. Nobody is perfect. We always wish we had better things, better features, better body parts, etc. But life need not to be perfect for people to be happy about themselves. Self improvement and loving yourself is not a matter of shouting to the whole world that you are perfect and you are the best. It’s the virtue of acceptance and contentment. When we begin to improve ourselves, we then begin to feel contented and happy.

The society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water…John Gardner
What do you exalt or tolerate, that you could turn up or down a notch?
The Stop Global Warming calculator shows you how much carbon dioxide you can prevent from being released into the atmosphere and how much money you can save by making some small changes in your daily life.
Your brain wants to be organized and to work on problems.
When you take up a new habit it throws around both of these automatic ways that the brain loves to work. You’ve just disorganized by changing usual patterns and you’ve given your mind a ‘problem’ to attend. Therefore you need to live with much greater awareness whenever you take up a new habit. Set up any new habit within the context of your current habits and remain vigilant by keeping your focus on solutions.
