Some people use a dream board, or a goal map to help envision exactly what it is they want their future to look like. Some list goals on 3X5 cards and review them daily. Still others write out (in present tense) what their life will be like in the future (as though they were already living out their dream). T. Harv Eker (Secrets of the Millionaire Mind) says whatever you focus on, expands So stop spending time focusing on what you dont want! Focus on what you want!
Stay Vigilant & Dont Give Up!
Failure is not failure until you quit. Only when you throw in the towel and quit will you ever fail. Falling short of a goal is not failing. (Hey, you started, didnt you?) Changing direction is not failing. Errors in judgment is not failing. Making honest mistakes is not failing. Failure is never a lack of success. It is simply staying down after you trip or stumble. Failure is giving up and wimping out when you think the going is too tough, or when you let negative thoughts tell you cant make it.
If you have set your goal to have a ten-figure income, keep putting one foot in front of the other no matter what life throws at you.
Now that you have set your goals and are living your dream you are on your way to a 10 figure income. Keep the pace and always upon always keep one foot in front of the other. Your belief dictates your ability to achieve your goals. - 16069
