The Challenge

Let others lead small lives, but not you.
Let others argue over small things, but not you.
Let others cry over small hurts, but not you.
Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you.

"Virtue is its own reward"

Don't expect something in return when you do good - because doing good itself is the blessing.

As the Bible says, 'do not let the right hand know what the left hand is doing' -

(don't get 'puffed up' when you do good) -

...and as the Hindus say, 'Be divorced from the fruits of your actions' -

Kind of says the same thing - just do good because it's right.

"it's all good".

“Many people make the mistake of thinking that all the challenges in their lives would dissipate if they just had enough money. Nothing could be further from the truth. Earning more money, in and of itself, rarely frees people. It's equally ridiculous to tell yourself that greater financial freedom and mastery of your finances would not offer your greater opportunities to expand, share, and create value for yourself and others.”

Basic# 3: Priority 2. Find or create practical solution.
Basic# 4: Priority 3. Deliver that solution for a profit.
Basic# 5: Add value - Over deliver on your promise and build trust within your niche.
Basic# 6: Establish yourself as an authority by providing originality and quality content.
Basic# 7: Innovate - It's not only about resources, it's also about resourcefulness.
Basic# 8: Give to receive - he/she who gives wins...
Basic# 9: Post and learn in forums.
Basic#10: Integrity will carry you further than trickery.
Basic#11: Help others to succeed and you will prosper.
Basic#12: Take a new step each day... success is accumulative.
Basic#13: It's not necessary to know each step in advance - just keep moving Forward
Basic#14: It's not about visitors; it's about sales and conversion.
Basic#15: Track and test everything - eliminate guesswork - with smart software.
Basic#16: Offer real proof - testimonials work.
Basic#17: When you feel like giving up- Don’t - take a break and come back tomorrow.
Basic#18: It's never crowded along the extra mile...;
Basic#19: Bond with your niche use simple copywriting psychology such as, the 3F's.
Basic#20: I understand how you Feel - I Felt the same - but Found that... (Offer the solution).
Basic#21: People buy from those they like, trust and respect - Become all three.
Basic#22: Business is about numbers, but equally about building relationships.
Basic#23: Celebrate your success! - But Learn from your failure...
Basic#24: Continuous improvement - learn what you need to know.
Basic#25: Plan daily tasks in advance - Organization is the first rule of expansion.
Basic#26: Do what you say you will do!
Basic#27: Duplicate proven systems - Don't reinvent the wheel.
Basic#28: Keep it simple, have fun and remember to enjoy the ride!

I've left it at 28... Of course there are many more - Oh, and apart from # 8 and #11, my personal favorite is... "You can't make money and excuses at the same time..."

I wish you every success

[wavey]

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

Theodore Roosevelt

[Usha]

Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.
