Without action there is little success. There are lots of dreamers in the world and dreams are a good thing, but if all you do is dream, you’ll never realize your goals.

Becoming a success and realizing your dreams requires hard work – and action. Don’t let fear of failure keep you from taking action. These are your dreams, and realizing them is totally up to you.

Although Thomas Edison is remembered as a great inventor, he failed many times before he succeeded. Abraham Lincoln was one of our most famous Presidents, but he suffered many failures in his life as well. Even Babe Ruth struck out lots of times before he hit all his home runs.

Likewise, we must be willing to step up to the plate, take our swing, hope for the home run, but also be happy with a base hit.

I’m sure Babe Ruth got free “walks” many times – but that was because he was such a great hitter that the pitchers were afraid to let him bat. Most of us don’t get things dropped in our laps, we have to work for them.

How many times have you heard someone say, “Don’t rush me, I’ll get around to it” (i.e., when all they ever do is sit on the couch, snooze, or play golf (the “Round Tu-It” trap).

But taking action to realize goals? “I’ll do it manana”.Don’t waste your life sitting on the couch. Your dreams are important to you, but the only way to realize them and achieve success in life that you both want and deserve is to get up off the couch and take some action.

What could you do today to increase the chances that you’ll realize your dreams?The Infinite Income Plan can lead you to financial security.

Don’t wait for life to hand you success on a silver platter; it’s not likely to happen!

Many people in affiliate programs seem to think that once the sale is made, their work is done.  But, if you’re in an affiliate program, you only succeed when your Downline succeeds.Don’t drop out of the picture after the initial sale is made, stay close to your downline team members, coaching and mentoring them.

People joining affiliate programs tend to have big goals and dreams , but sometimes they fail anyway.

Reasons Why People Fail to Become Successful Affiliates:

There are three main reasons why people fail to adapt to change, especially technological change:

1. Lack of Skills
2. Lack of Knowledge
3. Fear

Adopt the “Coach” Role & Mindset:

If you adopt the mindset of a “Coach,” you can dramatically improve your Downline’s performance along all three lines.

When someone joins a successful affiliate program there is generally a fairly big learning curve to overcome – new product(s) such as the Infinite Income Plan , new technology, virtual relationships, especially if your new recruit is new to the world of internet marketing, or marketing in general.There’s so much to learn when you first start as an internet marketer: new jargon, tools and techniques, plus you have to learn the product itself.

If you ignore your new recruits, they can get very frustrated with all the information they have to learn, in a very short time.If you want your bottom line to grow, invest in helping your new recruits overcome the learning curve so they don’t get overly frustrated and just quit.

Your bottom line will be a lot bigger if you invest some time with your new Downline team members, coaching and mentoring them?Take the initiative to help your recruits learn about your products, technical support and other resources available to them.

Chances are very good that you’ll also need to spend some time helping them learn how to market the product in this new Web 2.0 internet world of Blogs and Social Networks, which are unfamiliar to many.

You can sit around and wait for your new recruits to approach you for help, or better – you can take the initiative to make sure that they have the skills and knowledge they need to be successful.Fear is a major obstacle, especially buyer’s remorse – your personal involvement will go a long way to overcoming your new recruit’s fear.

Coaching is easier than you might think – you just need a positive attitude and a desire to build up your team members. together with your proactive behavior.When you invest in your downline, they’ll repay that investment many times over.

It is now being confessed that the statistics claiming that college graduates earn more income than non-graduates over a lifetime may be skewed. The truth is, ambitious people generally make more money and are usually found among college graduates. Researchers also suggests that had these same people never attended college their earning potential would probably have remained the same.

This priciple can be applied to those whom we consider successful. It doesn’t matter what steps they took, the results would have been the same. The reason is success is an expression of the Authentic cause within each unique individual. Success is not achieved by following any set of steps or following any group of principals or assuming any archetype. That is why so called formulas for success continue to produce less than satisfactory results. Success (much like happiness) is not something you can put on a “to-do” list, but rather it is a “state of being”.

A quick tip on learning the so called “secrets of success” is to first identify those who have obtained your life’s dream and read everything you can find about them. By considering people who satisfy your definition of success you will find there is only one cause that they all share and that is persistence.

A Few Examples of Successful Failures

According to “The Secret of Success is Not a Secret,” by Darcy Andries, Tenacity or being persistent in maintaining, or seeking something valued or desired is the name of the game. Here are just a few examples from her book:

Clint Eastwood
This producer, director and actor, was fired early in his career. He was told by an executive at Universal studios: “You have a chipped tooth, your Adam’s apple sticks out to far and you talk to slow.” He supported himself through odd jobs then one day he starred in an Italian movie called, “A Fist Full of Dollars.” The film was a massive success. The director decided to make him the star in, “A Few Dollars More” and “The Good, Bad and Ugly.” After their global release he was recognized everywhere as a star.

Walt Disney
Walt failed very early on in his entrepreneurial endeavors and found himself bankrupt. He was also fired by a newspaper editor as he “had no good ideas.” Working against his critics, he spent 4 years in the production of “Snow White and the Sever Dwarfs” costing1.5 million bucks in 1938, nearly bankrupting his second business. Since its 1939 release “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” has amassed well over 400 million bucks. Walt Disney also holds the record for receiving the most Academy Awards, twenty-six, with sixty-four nominations.

Albert Einstein
Because of his lack of interest and poor grades Albert’s school teachers considered him mentally slow. Interestingly, a lot of people thought of him as a loser with no real future. Later he took the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology entrance exam and failed. And his doctorial dissertation was viewed as “irrelevant and fanciful.” It wasn’t until “The Special Theory of Relativity” was published that he gained any recognition. Einstein won a Nobel Prize in 1921 for Physics.

David Letterman
David Letterman was fired from being a Indianapolis weatherman. He did land a small role on two TV programs only to loose them both when the shows were canceled early. There was another series to be called “Leave it to Dave” saddly it never made it on TV. His new morning show called, “The David Letterman Show,” was caned after only four months on the air. Finally Dave was given his own show “Late Night with David Letterman” earning five Emmy Awards and thirty nominations. He later moved to CBS to host “The Late Show” which earned nine Emmy Awards and more than fifty Emmy nominations.

Clark Gable
It would be ten long years before Clark would pique Hollywoods curiosity. Working in small theater productions he traveled form Ohio to Oregon. To earn a living he began selling ties. His first screen test for MGM was a failure and he was forced to find work as an extra in silent movies. He left the movies and returned to the stage. He went to Warner Brothers, auditioned and was turned down yet again. They felt his ears were just too large. In 1931 Gable returned to MGM Studios and recieved the role in the film “The Painted Desert” which hit it big. It seems however that Clark let the fame go to his head and MGM studios sent him to smaller studios in an effort. Instead in 1934 he won the Academy Award for Best Actor in “It Happened One Night.” His most famous role of course was as the male lead in “Gone With the Wind”.

Abraham Lincoln
History points to the 16th president of the U.S. as the most famous story of failure and success.

1. In 1831 his first business, a dry goods store failed.
2. A year later he was made Captain and fought in The Black Hawk War. Three months later he was demoted and left the Army as a Private.
3. 1832 lost the election for State Legislation.
4. Opened another store, which also failed leaving him in debt in 1833.
5. As a postmaster he had the worse efficiency record in the county.
6. In 1834 he ran and won the House of Representatives for Illinois but lost for Speaker of the House in 1838.
7. 1843 Lincoln lost an election for U.S. Congress.
8. He finally won but in 1848 failed to get re-elected.
9. 1855 he lost his bid for the U.S. Senate
10. 1856 he ran for Vice President and lost.
11. 1858 he again ran for U.S. Senate, losing for a second time.
12. Finally in 1860 he ran for president of the United States and won with 40% of the popular vote. It was assumed that he would lose re-election in 1864, but he won with 55% of the popular vote.

What success principles did Abraham and these others seek out and conform to? Did they apply the “5, 10 or 12 Steps to Success” they found in a book? What does this say about the “Law of Attraction?”

If You Persist, Success is Inevitable

The above stories reveal the dynamics of real life. They are all good examples of how everyday people eventually attain a successful state of being. Notice the path is not a straight one. Success comes only after failure and persistence. It was their inner drive, fueled by passion that compelled these people to press forward against repeated failures and disappointments.

I think famed Hollywood actor Tony Curtis nailed it during an interview for Steve Young’s book “Great Failures of the Extremely Successful” when he said:.

There’s no way I can point to a single experience or event and say that from then on, my life was changed. It’s just the living of life itself. You cannot put that into words. It’s too variable. Too changing. Every moment, every second we are alive provides so may inputs and impulses that it’s too difficult to choose one and say, ‘That’s what did it for me.’ - Tony Curtis – Actor, Painter and Writer

It is persistance of our inner motivation that is responsible for success, and persistance is very simply the willingness to insist on expressing your true inner self in the face of any and all obstacles.

Passion for an idea, is the tangible evidence that you are tapping into your Authentic Side where your inner motivator resides. When you feel excitement and exhibit a sense of joy found in your accomplishments, you are expressing your authentic inner self and given time, success is inevitable.

! Employ tenacity! Do not give up!

However, there does exist an aid that can ignite more of that fiery passion within you. Think of it as a short cut on the way to your successful state of being. If you feel there must be a lot more to all of this, you’re right. Want to learn more?

The successful “You” awaits discovery!

If you want to be a successful person, it is imperative that you understand your purpose, the reason that you are walking this Earth. While all of the most successful people of all time lived with a definite purpose in mind, most people are not so attuned to ourselves. Therefore, it behooves us to figure out what our purpose is, and let that purpose guide us. The Law to Success can help.

You will probably need a significant period of contemplation to understand the meaning and purpose of your life. For that effort to be successful, you really need to eliminate all distractions. You need to learn to be present in the moment, and comfortable alone with yourself. That means to find a place and a time where you can be alone, away from distractions like email, the telephone, music, or the TV. Simply sit quietly and clear your mind of whatever thoughts happen to appear. Doing this exercise out in nature is even better, as the natural world is a soothing and revitalizing place, ideal for this kind of quiet aloneness.

With practice, you will eventually be able to calm your conscious mind and be more attuned to the subtle inner voices that appear. These sources, which are usually drowned out by the roar of modern society and the endless chatter of your conscious mind, are more attuned to your inner feelings and needs, your deeper, more fundamental states.

Are you wondering what all this has to do with finding your true purpose in life? It goes something like this. Once you can be comfortable being alone with yourself and present in the moment, you can hear the subtle signals that your conscious mind drowns out. Now what you can do is focus on the question, “What is my purpose?” and allow the answer to appear in the quiet space you have cleared in your mind. By giving yourself space without distractions, and focusing on this single question, you clear space for the answer to come to you. Eventually, be it in days, weeks, or months, you will notice a change.

Recognizing this change and understanding what you need to do next to truly understand your purpose is the subject of the Discover Your Purpose portion of the Law to Success Mastery program.
