PAST MOTIVATIONS

I was in the airport yesterday on my way back from Michigan and picked up Forbes magazine.

It was their Forbes 100 Celebrity issue; they talk about the top 100 celebrities and I thought it would be an interesting read to make the flight go faster.

I was right, it did.

I was reading page 1 and something made me go 'wow'.

Here's what it was.

The article was about -year-old tennis sensation Maria Sharapova. Maria is from Russia and she won Wimbledon last year. It was a huge upset that catapulted her to stardom, but here's what I found interesting. The 3rd paragraph starts with, "This is the payoff for 12 years of six-hour practice days and constant travel...."

After I read it, I read it again.

I come across so many people that expect success and money to happen in 2 minutes. I admit that I used to be like that too. You start something, 60 days goes by and no big payoff, you quit, start something new, and the same thing happens over and over again. It's a vicious cycle.

Everything changed for me when I started to PAY THE PRICE, improve my discipline and make my goals smaller.

Maria made 20 million dollars last year. She's . There's a good chance she'll make 100 million dollars before she's 25. I think that's great. She deserves it.

Why?

Because she PAID THE PRICE, made the sacrifice for 12 long, grueling years. And now she's reaping the fruits of her labor. You can DO the same thing. We all need to pay the price, make the sacrifices; it's worth it.

It took me years to finally live the principles talked about in the ‘Conquering Yourself' manual, but when I did, my life changed.

I don't know Maria, but I guarantee you she is using many of the secrets in the manual to make herself a fortune.

Ask yourself this question: “Am I doing everything I can right now to improve my life and finances and if not, what are 2 actions I could take today to help myself?”

Then, DO IT.

So many times we try things for years and it seems like we're not getting anywhere and then all of the sudden things start happening. The masses call this "overnight fame". The entrepreneurs of the world call it "never giving up and going for your dreams."

Make the DECISION today to be like Maria and never give up. You have
buckets of money and happiness waiting for you to grab. Go for it because
you deserve it.

Talk to you soon.
