Fail Effectively and You Can't Lose

The fear of failing has become the number one reason that most people do not achieve
their goals or anything else. We tend to act like it is some type of disgrace to fail when it
actually is part of the process.

Failure is a part of any endeavor. If you’re not failing, you’re not trying. You can choose to 
allow failure to affect your state of mind or you can choose to take advantage of it. The most successful people get the most out of each failure. Use failure to your benefit.


Most of us have learned to avoid failure at all costs. But failure is a wonderful way to learn 
and stretch yourself. All innovation requires failure in the development process. Failing 
regularly gives the best chance of long-term success.

Achieve greater levels of success by failing effectively:

  1. Fail quickly. If an idea isn’t going to pan out, you might as well figure it sooner rather than later. Avoid spending too much time on a faulty premise. It doesn’t make sense to invest time and money over 12 months only to realize that an idea won’t work if you could’ve reached the same conclusion in three weeks.

  • At the same time, it’s important not to fail too quickly. Give an idea a fair chance to be successful. Some things take time more time than others do.

  1. Ensure that you’re failing for the right reason. Be certain the necessary time and resources are utilized. If something has gone wrong, determine carefully if it was the idea or the execution.

  • Have you considered every possible need of your project?

  • Can your idea work if you change your approach?

  1. Fail differently each time. Many people repeat their mistakes. Failing loses all of its value if you fail to learn from it. Each time you fail in a new way, you have the opportunity to improve your approach.

  2. After a failure, make a list of everything you learned. What did you learn? How can you apply that information in the future? What’s the next logical step? Failing isn’t fun. Ensure you’re getting the most out of it. Keep a failure journal to record your discoveries and new ideas.

  • Create a plan for the future that considers the new information you’ve acquired. This plan will evolve over time.

  1. Keep an accurate perspective. What is failure? It’s an undesired result. That’s it. It’s not a grading of your intelligence, worth, or future. There’s no reason to take it personally. It’s simply an idea that didn’t work out. Maintain detached from your results and forge ahead.

  • The great coach, John Wooden, stated that he hoped no one would be able to tell if his team had won or lost based on the team’s demeanor after a game. That’s detachment.

  • Be resilient. Your feelings of self-worth aren’t dependent on your results. You can feel good about yourself even when you don’t achieve your desired outcome. Be proud that you were brave enough to fail and continue.

  1. Keep failure and fault separate. We all learned in childhood that admitting to mistakes resulted taking the blame. Whether you’re working on a self-improvement project or a project at work, keep the blame to a minimum.

  2. Failure should bring you closer to an optimal solution. The more challenging the goal, the more times you can expect to fail before achieving success.

  3. Effective failing creates new opportunities. Many of the most important inventions resulted from mistakes. For example, the glue used in post-it notes resulted from an attempt to create a super-strong adhesive.

Avoid feeling down about failing. View each failure as a step in the right direction. There’s much to be learned via failure. Embrace failure. Just be certain to fail effectively!

From Fear to Freedom


Do you feel that you are suppose to be experiencing a more exciting
life? However, for some reason you aren't and you have tried to.
Then the steps below may just be the answer you are looking for.
At least a start to you living your dreams.

Every successful person has had to deal with fear. The road to hell
might be paved with good intentions, but the road to success is littered
with fear and uncertainty.

The biggest difference between someone that is wildly successful and
someone that is not is the courage to take significant action over and over
again.

These steps will enable you take that significant action, repeatedly:

1. Simply decide to succeed. Most people never really decide to do
or accomplish anything significant; at best they 'kinda sorta try it out.'
However, once you've truly decided to go for your dreams, there is no
other option - and no room for fear or doubt - in your mind. In fact, the
word 'decide' means to cut yourself off from any other possibility.

2. Embrace risk. Chase after your fears and show them who is boss.
Make the tough presentation or phone call. Ask for whatever it is that
you want. A big part of being successful is doing things that other people
are too afraid to do.

3. Prepare yourself. Many of our stresses, challenges, and concerns are
things that we anticipated. Take the time to find solutions and put them
into place before you need them. When you can see a challenge that is
likely to come up, simply prepare for it instead of worrying about it.

4. Go with the flow. If you don't live in the past or future, life is much less
stressful. Let go of your resistance to the present moment and see what happens.

5. Focus on the good outcomes. Most people look for the worst and expect it to
happen. Expect the best and it's much easier to take action. Sure, some
undesirable things will likely happen along the way, but they'll be like mosquitoes
that need to be shooed away. That's much better than the brick wall that you might
otherwise perceive.

6. Learn to relax. When you feel stress and anxiety coming on, a few slow, deep
breaths can make a huge difference. To a large extent, our psychology follows our
physiology; breathing is the only part of our physiology that we can really control.
Use that control to your advantage.

7. Fully engage in your life and get away from the news. The news is so negative.
Instead, find something interesting to do with your time. If you're conquering less
stressful things all day long, the more stressful things don't seem so bad anymore.
Take a piano lesson, go hiking, or go skydiving. It will make your life more
interesting, too.

8. Realize that you are enough. Even if you have things to learn and skills that need
to be honed, that doesn't mean that you're incapable of the task at hand. Plan to
acquire the resources you need, but do everything you can with the resources you
have now.

9. Start small. Make a list of everything that you need to do but can't seem to follow
through on. Put them in order from least scary to most. Now decide to do the item at
the top of the list. When that's done, do the next. Only focus on the current item at the
top of the list.

You should print this out and read it in the morning after you wake up and
in the evening before going to bed. Make it a part of your mental
reprogramming.

The only way to truly be free is to conquer your fears. The only way to
conquer your fears is to do the things that frighten you. Show yourself that you can do
those things successfully. Follow the suggestions above and start your journey from
fear to freedom today!

Give Yourself a Mental Makeover

This is just as important as a physical makeover, if not more so.It all starts in the mind.

Although you might take great care of your body, you may not give much thought to your mental self. It's time to ask yourself, "What do I do to take care of my mind and keep it in excellent shape?" For some excellent mental makeover techniques, read on.

1. Know what makes you happy and do it every day. Take time each day to immerse yourself in something that brings joy to your life. Watch a movie, take a walk, do some crafting, build a shelf, or paint a picture. Make it a point to derive some pleasure from every single day.

2. Laugh a lot. Read jokes online. Make up funny stories. View your favorite situation comedies on TV, old and new. Call a friend that always makes you laugh. Spend time with children and babies. Experience humor as often as you can.

3. Cultivate new interests. To keep your mind working on several different levels, try new things often. Learn a new language. Visit museums. Study a topic of interest on the internet. Make it a personal goal to learn something new each day.

4. Play some healthy mind games. We're talking about the ones that put your brain through some mental calisthenics. Do word searches. Work some Sudoku puzzles. Get into crosswords. Work a few math problems occasionally.

* Encourage your mind to get exercise by trying out different kinds of interesting, challenging mind games from time to time. Find some new apps for your smartphone that will challenge you and make you think.

5. Recognize your own stress responses, inside and out. Knowing yourself will help you identify how you behave when exposed to stressors. Maybe you get a fever blister on your lip, eat too much, or become grouchy.

* If you can train yourself to recognize when you're stressed (early in the process), you can then proactively take steps to abolish the source of the stress or to beef up your coping strategies.
 
6. Express yourself. Although it might be difficult for you, do what you have to do to express your feelings to others. Whether they're happy and fun feelings, or sad and scary feelings, develop ways to share your emotions. Holding in how you feel is rarely the path to a calm and secure mental state.

7. Stay on top of your feelings. In the event you're in a situation where you can't express your feelings to someone else for a good reason, employ your writing skills to write down on paper or in your computer how you're feeling.

* Expressing your feelings through the written word can be both freeing and effective. Keep a journal and write regularly in it.

Take part in activities that bring joy and laugh frequently. Constantly find new interests and play games that give your mind a work-out. Know your own reactions to stress and do whatever's necessary to express yourself.

When you concentrate on following through with these suggestions, you'll give your mind a fantastic work-out. And when your mind is in peak condition, so are you!

Today, I move toward freedom.

Read this everyday for 30 days and let me know what impact it
has had on you.

Each day is a gift that provides the opportunity
to experience a greater sense of freedom.

Whenever I feel confined and limited, I remember that all of my
limitations are self-imposed.

I am the only one that can stand in my way.

It is exciting to realize that I alone determine my conditions.
I have the power to release all of my doubt and resistance whenever
I choose. I choose for that time to be now!

My sense of freedom increases each day.

By letting go, I set myself free and allow myself
to experience everything the world has to offer. Every day I
become more playful and spontaneous.

Every day I am getting closer and closer to being totally free.

I allow others to be exactly whom they are and to have the
freedom to make mistakes.
Everyone, including me, has the right to choose our own path.

I am free to be myself. I am as free as a bird on the wind.

I am free to create my perfect circumstances and advance my life
forward in whatever ways I want it to go.

I have the freedom to make any choice with regard to both my
thoughts and actions. I choose to allow myself to be spontaneous and
free of worry and concern.

Today, I promise to myself to live with an attitude of freedom and
positive expectation. I reject any limitations in my thoughts and
totally relax in the face of any obstacles. Today, I move toward freedom.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. What are some ways my sense of freedom has increased over the years?

2. What are some ways in which I feel smothered?

3. What can I do right now to increase my level of freedom?

Answer the questions above and take action on increasing your freedom 
today. If you do not change what you are doing, you will continue to get
what you are getting. 

Is that what you want? If you would like to discuss this further just

Blog Getting a Facelift

Well, it has been a while since the blog has any changes done to it &
since we are in a new year it is time.

Or moreover, about time.

This has been a hobby blog as it is my first one. However, the concept
behind it is still strong & the message needs to get out more today then 
when started.

So, there will be design changes to make it look appealing on all
platforms.

Content will come in different formats.

Focus on building a direct sales or network marketing business.

For beginners or those left high & dry by their sponsors once they
signed up.

Training on how to do the business & personal development also.

Goal is to have done by the end of the month. 

Will still be publishing while the changes are being made unless
it has to be down for updating.

Let's see what happens.


It would be a CRIME to miss this


This weekend we’ve been held captive in a
12,000 square foot mansion on a the same
private island Al Capone once lived in Miami.
71 entrepreneurs…

All walking on fire, breaking wood with their 
bare hands, sharing the closely guarded secrets 
of wealth and personal breakthroughs.
In this room are multiple million dollar income
earners who want to share the wealth…
… with you.

And it would be crime to you and your family
if you missed this.

In fact, I hear it was Al Capone’s dying wish
to be a part of this weekend’s mastermind…
Well, we know how that ended.

So:

On Saturday January 30 at 9:00pm EST we’re
giving you the formula to sponsor hundreds of 
members with very little resistance… 
...and turn consistent daily actions into
consistent MASSIVE pay days.
Something most could only imagine, yet
David has done it -- and wants to show you how.
So here’s how this is going to work:

***************************
Saturday January 30 at 9:00pm EST
be here and pay close attention:

==>  http://goo.gl/bXl6ID

Get there 5 minutes early to secure a spot.
***************************

The best part is you David is going to be
live in the mansion where you will not only
hear from him, but also be able to share
your comments and questions with the
whole group of us.

Reality is, most people who try and
make money from home…
… people like you who want to taste
the sweet flavor of freedom.
… people like you who want to hear
the crashing of waves at your feet…
Simply never do it.
 
Yet, David will show you how to do just 
that.
Does that sound alright?
It goes down tonight at 9:00PM EST:
