Take Your Chance

Two years ago, I met a guy who was involved in real estate business. We got together on a Saturday night and had a few cups of coffee.

That night Bakov — the real estate guy — told me a very inspiring and captivating story. I was literally floored when I heard it. It shares a valuable lesson about strong belief. I posted the story below.
There was this one guy from Petro Mikva whose wife died which left him with two young boys aged 3 and 5 to carry on his back. To top it all, he got no job and has a 300,000 shekel debt to pay off.

Like a wounded bird, he was literally desperate, emotionally tired and mentally unhealthy. His life was a complete mess and with 2 young boys to take care of it seemed as if he didn’t stand a good chance of becoming a success.

The people around him already crossed him out and judged that it was just a matter of time before he collapsed and committed a suicide. Or so everybody thought.

Exactly 50 days after his wife’s unexpected death, he saw an advertisement in the local newspaper that said: “Local Real Estate Genius Opens His Secrets!”

The cost to attend the seminar was a gigantic 200 shekels and he almost got no money to buy the necessary food. Against all logic he decided to find the way to get the money.

He goes to the bank and asks for a 200 shekel loan. And against all odds, he somehow manages to get the money. He then attends the seminar and personally meet the real estate guru guy.

A year after that, the man was already a mind blowing success in real estate industry. He eventually remarries a beautiful woman and decided to settle in Greece for early retirement.

The lesson of this story is that BIG SUCCESS can only come to those who aren’t afraid of taking chances and facing some risks.

Be Your Own Self-Fulfiller

This piece was actually sent to my email by a friend who is already very successful in online marketing. Please read on and I am sure you can learn some nuggets of wisdom here.

“When I was just at the age of three, my mother decided to go back to study in college. At the same time, she also worked full time so her classes were usually at night. She would often drop me off in the house of my aunt which is located in a small town with a population of not more than 500 residents. My aunt loved to watch me.

As I learned at that time, my kind aunt loved me very much and would do whatever thing to please me. I loved to be there because aside from my aunt, there were also my cousins who were both older than me and I considered them to be the ‘coolest people’ I’d ever met.

In other words, I really loved that place. There were instances when I even plead my mom to let me stay there on the weekends.

It was one of those lazy weekends when my two cousins and I were hanging outside the house until it got dim. Then we had to go in. Before we did, my cousin Dave says – ‘Look, there is a falling star. We must make a wish!’

So he makes a wish, and then he goes in. My cousin Christy makes a wish next and she goes in. I still haven’t decided yet what my wish is going to be and then it hits me — I know the perfect wish.

I say, ‘I don’t want this house to burn down.’ Then I go inside the house. Please take note that I was just three by this time. It was just another ridiculous childish wish. Why didn’t I wish for something much better? Well, that I don’t know.

Probably, you know where this story is heading. Some few months later that house caught fire – literally burned to the crust. Unfortunately, my Nintendo games where in there, and they were finished.

Did it affect me? Of course, it did! Here I was, a green three year old little boy who believed that if you wished upon a falling star it would come true. I did it. Yet, the opposite happen.

That’s when I made a powerful choice that eventually defined who I am today. That’s when I decided to become my own ‘wish fulfiller.’ Never mind the stars. I decided to make my wishes come true myself.

And I have. I wished to be a good son my parents could be highly proud of. And they are because of the many accomplishments I already gathered and how much influence I have on positively shaping the lives of other people.

I have become moderately rich over the last few years and remain at the top of my industry (online marketing). My financial dreams came true. I always wanted to make a difference – to contribute some changes to the lives of others and gauged on various testimonials I think I already did just that — though the journey still continue up to now.

I got my wishes. Of course, not by wishing on some ridiculous falling star. Everything materialized because I made a wish deep down in my soul and this generated a fiery desire… which made me find a way to make the things I want to be accomplished.

We all can be our very own wish-fulfiller. And we can do it today.”

Your professional life and business success require you to be empowered by self-confidence as you deal with people both big and small. Self-confidence is a very pivotal ingredient to get ahead of the competition and establish your own personal branding along the way. And one way of acquiring self-confidence is surrounding yourself with loving and supportive friends.

Develop the kind of friends whom you are comfortable with and help you feel more positive. Your friends should encourage and push you to be professionally competitive and bring home the bacon – the “Go go go!” friends. To have friends like this, I am sure you will realize of their fantastic empowering power.

Divide your friends into two groups: the “Be cautious” friends and the “Go go go” friends.  If you want to compete well and move upward in life, listen to both but always lean more with the latter – as in go, go go! “Be cautious” friends may constantly warn you of the possibility of failure and could at the end hold your growth back. While most of them are well-meaning and might be only looking for your welfare, they should never be your focal influence.

Your first best friend should be you. Love yourself and believe in your innate ability to rise up and climb the ladder of success. Stop being negative – it just put you down! Believe that you have the power to make things happen. Be optimistic in a gloomy world we are in and you are on your way to becoming a totally self-confident person.

To make yourself surrounded with positive people, you must first become one yourself. It is just like the first secret of having many friends: be friendly! Positive attracts positive. It would virtually impossible to expect people to surround you if you are a pessimistic person – a person who has nothing to hope for is a person doomed. And who would want to take a ride with gloom?

Successful and happy people are always self-confident.  And self-confident people make sure they are surrounded with optimistic and active people. Nothing less!  If you want to join the club of self-confident individuals, it is imperative that you have  “Go go go” associates – people who cheer you up to be courageous in facing many challenges as you carve out your dreams in life and be financially free. Looking for “Go go go” friends means that you first become one.

Friends are important as they could help us propel to make our dreams come true. Be a good friend yourself and expect others of the same orientation to get attracted to you. Always be positive with things and with people. Positive thinking blots out stress and adds magnitude of colors to an otherwise dull world you might be in.

Go go go!

Hello And Welcome Freelancers

The home-based bandwagon. Yesterday, when I was driving past my friend Mario’s house just 3 blocks away from my own residence on Lily Avenue, I noticed that his 2010 Ford Escape is usually parked in the driveway. Mario is now home based.  As Mario told me, working from home is definitely a dream come true, away from the daily grind of having to get up, leave the house and spend hours on the road only to burn time to sit in an office. Mario is a very good web designer and he is now doing it freelance.

Do you have web designing skills? Maybe, you work at a company’s advertising department as the majority of other designers do. Have you ever considered the prospect of working as a freelance web designer? There is a great and stable demand for this kind of service providers today. With internet marketing and online businesses literally exploding, freelance web design is money making industry. Many businesses small and big retain web designers on a freelance basis to take advantage of other people’s professional expertise as well as save time and effort.

Benefits of being a freelance web designer. For those who dream of a job which requires not having to show up every day like a typical 9 to 5 office job, freelancing as a web designer could provide a lot of benefits. The most important is the potential to make as much money as you can.  You are not ever limited to a monthly salary that your employer determines and you don’t ever have a set rate that you are limited to. In fact, you create your own reasonable pay rate.  You are the boss.

Your own time. Another most desirable benefit to web designer freelancing is the hours. Here, you are your own boss so you can set the hours that you want to work. If you have children at home, this is especially desirable since you conveniently are able to set up your work hours around your children rather than squeezing in your time as you fulfilled your parental responsibilities. What could be better for your family? However, it takes a person with self-discipline and responsibility to work as a freelancer.

Resources for freelance web designer. There are now different websites those freelance web designers can go to for help and for looking potential clients. Bidding sites are one of the best and they allow you the chance to grab some really terrific clients. Normally, a potential client who wants a specialized web designer normally will post a job proposal on the site and interested web designers then bid for the project proposal. Then, the client will select the winning bidder, usually based on fair pricing, experience and work samples. Examples of these websites are getafreelancer and elance.  There are many others, and there is also the option of setting up your own web designer freelancing website. It’s entirely up to you.

A great opportunity. Freelancing is a great opportunity and could even be your stepping stone to be another successful home-based entrepreneur. With some diligent effort and skill, you can surpass what you usually earn with your 9-5 office job. The chance to set your own work hours, pay rate and the advantage of picking your clients and projects, definitely makes freelancing a very desirable job.

And with the skyrocketing need for web designers, the best time to start is now!

Sustenuto Monochord Logo Brand

A lot of people are wondering why others succeed while many others fail?

Have you ever asked the same question yourself?

Why some people get promoted on their job and many others don’t?

Have you ever notice why some people are  so pleasantly approachable and easily lovable but many others are definitely not?

Well, if there’s one major thing that could define your level of success, it is what we call as Personal Branding.

People love (or hate) you by the brand (or label) you create for yourself whether you are aware about it or not. Every single moment

of your life, you create an impression than sticks to the mind of people. They judge you more on the basis of what they see rather than what you say.

That’s why companies put a huge budget on branding. Without a strong reputation, people won’t trust you, and trust is simply a foundation of any new beginning. Every brand stands for something—quality, integrity, speed, affordability, wonder, mobility and the list goes on and on.

So if you are a brand, what could you be known for? It’s important to answer this question because everything will revolve around you and the brand that you consistently create.

We have to realize that whether we like it or not – we are marketing ourselves to a lot of people everyday. Lest we forget that convincing our husband or wife of something takes some form of marketing.

We are selling ourselves everyday and there is no better way to sell than to have a unique personal branding.

Real Winners

If you will be asking an ordinary person if he/she wants to be successful – in most likelihood you will get an affirmative answer. Each person may have different definition or parameter for success but there is no question that nobody wants to be a failure.

Success is of course is not as easy as we want it to be. It is something to be work hard on and we need the right preparation for it to flourish and be available for our picking. While it is not as easy as it should be, success is not something impossible to attain.

Anybody can be a successful. Sometimes we are mesmerized by people who just came from nowhere and almost immediately shoot into fame and richness. But this kind of success is not available to all – the so-called Hollywood type of success is not the kind of success that we should be longing for. Though if you have what it takes to get there then go for it.

Ordinary people just living ordinary lives can have the success they all want. Whatever dreams we may have, it is very necessary to maintain a so-called right thinking. Without this mindset, it would be nearly impossible to turn our dream into reality.

• Always Think and Act Positive. You actually don’t need to purchase any costly motivational training aid to get this one. Just focus on your dreams and always remember that all trials and hardship you may encounter are all part of the process of getting successful. Don’t get easily discourage and don’t listen to people who are out to steal your dreams. Always believe in your capability, strength as well as limitations. As the saying goes: “look at the glass half-full and not half-empty

• Right Money Mentality. We are now in the advanced economic system yet a lot of people are still equating money with evil. If you have this kind of thinking, then definitely money would not come into your way. Let it be cleared that money is not evil – it is how we are using the money that could become evil. Think of all the things that money could buy for your family or the kind of education you can give to your children if you have the money. Instead of looking at money as the enemy, look at it as a friend who could help a lot of people. In fact, if you have more money, you can easily fund a charity all over the world. Money can be a catalyst for making the world better and not bitter

• Be Thankful of All The Thing You Already Have. Gratitude is a trait we all must have. We must learn to be thankful and appreciative of the things we got. It is possible that you don’t have everything yet but a thankful heart will open for more blessings and you are opening the door of the universe to make your dreams come true.

• Cheerful Spirit. Having a cheerful spirit could open up so many doors of opportunity for anybody. In fact, a cheerful person will always stand out of the rest. It is because only a few would be associated with a person who is always complaining and having bad days. As the saying goes: “Cry and you cry alone. Laugh and the whole world laugh with you.”

And once you are successful – motivate and inspire those who are still aspiring to be. The greatest mark of a truly successful person is the act of helping others.
