As you have shown an interest in starting a business of



your own it would be safe to assume that you want to change

your life. You want more money - more control over your

life - more respect. But just as we each have a dream, we

also have a reality.

Unfortunately for most people, the reality bears no

similarity whatsoever to the dream. In many cases, the

dream exists as an escape from the reality.

Think now of YOUR reality - the life you lead every day.

What do you do? How do you feel as you awake? Do you have

any enthusiasm for your way of life? Do you enjoy your

work, or are you on welfare? Then ask yourself the

important question: Do you resent having to live this way?

If you answer 'yes' to that question, then you are in danger

of succumbing to the most destructive human emotion - Hate.

If you hate the life you live, the people you deal with, the

actions you are forced to take, then you will find yourself

rapidly rushing toward disaster. When you hate, you may as

well be drunk! You no longer function in a creative manner.

Your mind is geared toward destruction. Instead of aiming

to create a new life for yourself and those you love, you

will become obsessed with the act of revenge.

The more that you hate the people and situations around you,

the more your mind becomes poisoned with the purpose of

getting even. Logical thought becomes impossible and hate

then becomes a substitute for action. You must learn NOW,

to resist the urge to hate. It achieves nothing constructive

and it will destroy both you and your dreams of

success. As Ghandi said..."An eye for an eye just makes the

whole world go blind."

Take a good look at your way of life. Do you always have to

make do with what you have got, because you can't afford a

replacement? Are you always having to put off paying bills

until next week? Have you never enough money to enjoy

yourself? Are you unhappy with the area in which you live?

You may find that you are regularly having to write a check

on Monday and hope that you will be able to cover it by

Thursday. Or you may just be sick of the daily grind of

early mornings, or the regular nightshift. If most of these

apply to you, the you probably hate living this way. So now

make a POSITIVE effort to achieve success. Only through

positive endevour and thought will you achieve your goal.

Although your current way of life is hard, think not how to

get rid of it, but how to REPLACE it with a better way of

life. Think SUCCESS - not revenge. Assess what you resent

about your life now.

You may even resent the things that you would normally

enjoy, were your circumstances different. Occassions like

Christmas, birthdays, and Easter can can be trying times

when you have no money to spend. Children don't understand

the restrictions of a tight budget, and it can cause great

distress to a parent who is unable to give his child the

gift, or day out, that they would like. Now imagine the

difference in these circumstances when you have achieved

success and you are wealthy.

There is no harm in imagining the difference your wealth

will make to your lifestyle - but approach it

lightheartedly.

Say to yourself: I will work to be a success so that I can

tell my boss where to stick his job! And so I can see the

look on the Bank managers face when I tell him not to bother

offering me overdraft facilities anymore! This attitude is

positive, but don't hate the way things are, or the people

it involves. That would only make things worse. You will

have plenty of time to reflect on your past when you are

wealthy!

These things that make you miserable and depressed will be

all behind you when you put the secrets of success to work:

http://heh.pl/&cX Imagine life without all these trying times.

You will be able to enjoy Christmas, and give your kids what

they want. That squillion function, water-resistant, solar-

powered gizmo (that they ALWAYS wanted) will be a drop in

the ocean to you!

Many of the people who buy books on starting a business

actually don't bother starting up. They can't imagine

themselves ever running their own business and earning

Unlimited amounts of money. They never see things how

they CAN be - only how they are. Don't make this mistake!

KNOW what you want, KNOW how to get it, SEE how it WILL

be, and then GO FOR IT!!

Yours in success.
