Make it Happen

“Success is simply a matter of luck. Ask any failure.” ~ Earl Wilson

I think I can, I think I can …

“But I can’t confront the doubts I’ve had I can’t admit that maybe the past was bad - And so, for the sake of momentum I’m condemning the future to death so it can match the past”

I am constantly amazed at man’s immense capacity for self-deception, his ability to argue for his own limitations and the way in which he desperately seeks evidence to support his faith in his own imminent defeat. It’s called “pessimism, wrapped in cynicism, boiled in defeatism and covered with a thick sauce of hopelessness, served with a generous side of laziness.”

There are only two ways to approach life – positive and proactive or negative and reactive. I recently read this advice to school leavers: “Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to anything in real life!” Winners expect to win. They don’t accept defeat. They refuse to retreat. When losers fall down, they name, blame, complain and shame. When winners fall down, they bounce right back up again.

I was horse riding with my son and daughter many years ago and my daughter fell off her horse. She hit the dirt very hard and I got a real fright. Without any hesitation and without my prompting, she got right back up on that horse and rode on. In a roller skating championship, she was the only one to fall, and again she got right back up as though nothing had happened, and skated forth. She was the only one to fall, yet she won first place! That is the sign of a true winner. My son started all over again with nothing, in a brand new country with a young family and made a great success of his life. Winners don’t stay on the mat for long. They don’t say, “I think I can…” - they KNOW they can.

Winners may fail, and they sometimes do, just like everyone else does, but they never lose. Winners demand the best of themselves. They set their own high standards. They are self motivated, they believe in themselves and they create the reality they want. Readers will have one of two responses to this article. Winners will be inspired. Losers will unsubscribe and send me nasty email. I have news for you. You can break the mirror, but you’ll still be ugly. Winning or losing is a matter of choice, not chance. We can change from winners to losers or vice versa any time, instantly. It’s never too late to soar with the Eagles. Join the DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum.

Re: Quote of the Day - "The only people witho - Thanks for sharing this Evan, there are some very powerful quotes in there, I particularly like this one:- You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don't think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully. regards, Mal.

Re: 10 Tips to Start an Online Business - [quote="Anya101":1y6il6zm] 5. Make it very easy for people to order your products. The easier the order process, the more orders you will get. Make sure your payment pages are secured. If you accept payment online, it is [/quote:1y6il6zm] *This* is very good advice. I went to a site a couple of weeks ago to order a DVD, an independent movie, and instead of having Paypal, I had to jump through hoops to sign up for their payment system. It would have taken me more minutes than I cared to spend, so I just didn't bother!
Re: May Traffic Drop Off from Google's Update - I feel that the best way to make your website click is to target both SEO and other marketing channels. In case it is not possible for website owners or webmasters to invest into other marketing channels, then they must make sure that they are following guidelines laid down by search engines. Whenever there is an update in algorithm, it is only done to filter out artificial websites from the search results. However , it is observed that on several occasions innocent people fall victim to the update in algorithm. If you have an article website and your member copy pasted article from some other website, there is very little you can do to avoid duplicate penalty. The latest tips to avoid your rankings going into roller coaster ride is to make sure :- a) That your website is having genuine and unique content b) Make sure you do not use any automated SEO tools. c) Make sure that your back linking pattern is not a pre-defined targeting same set of keywords again and again. d) Add useful content to your website every single week or fortnight ( if possible) e) Abstain from artificial keyword density f) Abstain from empty pages on your website or doorway pages with empty or duplicate content. g) Make sure you to not have HTML errors in your coding ( If your H1 tag is left open, then it can trigger SPAM ALERT on Google.)
