Dear Friend,
I’m going to talk about motivation today and I don’t mean
the kind of rah rah rah that footballers go into as their coach
gets them all steamed up for victory before they go out on
the field (although that kind of feeling/emotion is important).
…because I know that the majority of footballers leave their
motivation out on the field… instead of carrying it into every
area of their lives. What I am talking about is the kind of
emotional motivation you need to feel – from the inside –
in your mind, your being, your heart, your soul, to make you have
a burning desire to be successful every single day of your life.
As a 12 year fanatic about trading I have a whole host of
books, tapes, cds programmes etc on my bookshelves – and mostly
all about trading. On other shelves you will find just about as
many books on self help and psychology, Tony Robbins,
Robert Kayosaki, Jay Abraham, Napoleon Hill, Dr Harry
Stanton etc. Not to mention a heap of biographies from
Eva Peron, to Cecil Rhodes, to Aristotle Onassis, Deepak Chopra.
All people who started with nothing and made it huge.
You see I firmly believe that what you become in the future
depends on the books you read and the seminars you go to
and the people you meet.
A couple of years ago I came across Robert Allen’s book
“Multiple Streams of Income” And adopted that as one of
the ways to create a better future for myself. I mean:
It is great to make money from marketing a few programmes
via mail order.
It is exciting to make money regularly from trading indices and
a few shares.
It is exciting to find that a bunch of shares I bought
has gone up 100%.
And it is just more recently I have begun
learning how to create another new stream of income as an
Internet Marketer.
You might ask why a guy of 65 would want to learn and develop
a whole new career… a whole new learning curve to go through…
a whole new “stream of income” workload.
Fact is: developing totally new streams of income gives you
more cash for a better lifestyle. Allows you to help more people
who do not have your initiative.
And when you feel good
you will live longer, be happier, be healthier and have all sort of
fulfilment in your life that you won’t have when you accept
that you have a single narrow stream of income and
“that’s all you’ve got”. And sometimes accept that being old
means being poor, which is simply a degenerate truth from
an older era that has passed but which leaves lingering thoughts
an imprint of yesterday… sometimes from generation to generation.
When I started these few words, my intention was to talk
about Goals and Napoleon Hill. You know I often get people
ring me up or email me about trading and recently I’ve started
asking them: “What are your trading goals?” and
“What are your life goals?”
Sadly the biggest majority do not have ANY.
I mean “not any”.
I saw a lady at the check out of a liquor store
recently buying cartons of beer and her credit card was rejected.
She just shrugged and took out another one that did have credit
on it. That’s crazy. Imagine have all your credit used up and still
buying liquor.
I used to know a guy with 5 great kids. His aim is
just to give them everything. But not wisdom.
They had everything that was the latest fashionista clothes,
most update, most hip whatever the current expression is – cool…
He drives a $55,000 four wheel drive… (paying this depreciating
asset off of course) but alas he is paying rent to live. Had he lost his job
he would have lost everything.
Those people did not have goals.
They do not have any form of financial common sense.
They rely on that weekly pay packet and often spend it before it
comes to them. These people probably do not read too many
self improvement books. They most likely do not go to seminars.
They probably never heard of “Multiple Streams of Income.”
And do not know that everything in our life begins in our
thinking processes and that we live in a bountiful universe
and that we are entitled by our birthright to have our share of that
abundance. And that we have total control of our thinking process
which can give us anything we want. Provided we want it
badly enough and have set the wheels of success moving in our
desired direction.
Tomorrow I will continue this article.
Because it bugs me that people accept defeat as something normal.
Defeat is temporary.
Success is self generating and permanent once you know the
secret of generating it yourself – not once – but every day of your life.
When he was at his most successful Henry Ford said that
if he lost “everything he owned” he would be able to start again
and have everything back within 5 years. AND HE WOULD.
Henry knew the secrets of success. He had earned them.
And one other thing that I will say. Marlon Sanders says
“work” is a filthy four letter word – and I’ll explain that
tomorrow. Because Marlon is getting close to being a
millionaire if not already I understand EXACTLY what he meant.
My hate word is JOB.
I haven’t had one for 40 years. And I don’t want one.
So look forward to tomorrow.
WORK JOB GOALS are what I will be talking about.

This is an opt in list and you all have a delete button.
And if you are a new reader and missed my earlier offer
I can send you absolutely fr-ee a copy of Think and Grow Rich
by Napoleon Hill..
And if you really are serious about getting started today,
not tomorrow or the next day, go to www.aussiepublisher.com
and get hold of a copy of my new book.
This also could change your life.
Remember that the books you read, the seminars you go to
and the people you meet will effect your life for years to come.
Read the good stuff.
Listen to the good words.
Mix with the successful.
More on this tomorrow. Right now I have to go and do a little work
- but I’m allowed to – occasionally.
Meanwhile “I wish you success.”
Warmest regards
