Are you ready for the success that you desire? Thinking realistically, are you prepared body, mind and spirit for what potentially lies ahead? I have already talked about mapping out your route and honing in on your target, but are you ready for the success that you have visualized? Here are five ways to prepare.

First, you need to prepare your mind. Are you giving your brain the stimulation that it needs to grow? This can be done through reading, audio (tapes, cd’s, MP3’s, etc) and through seminars. It also is done through brainstorming sessions and mastermind groups. As an individual you can only do so much to prepare yourself, but if you are surrounded by like-minded people, your growth will be exponential.

Second, prepare yourself physically. This is an aspect that many people are guilty of ignoring. It is paramount to take care of the temple which houses that mind that you are preparing in step one. Not only will you be more alert and absorb information faster, it has been proven that endorphins released during exercise give you a feeling of well being. That will serve you.

Third, find a mentor or a coach. It has been proven time and again, that if you have someone in your life that can help to guide you, you will get further faster. Role models can serve in the same function, do what they have done and emulate their efforts and success is nearly assured. It helps more if you get interaction.

Fourth – and I touched on this in the introduction – figure out your plan and execute. Don’t allow distraction and don’t lose focus. Too often people have great ideas, but too many of them. Then none of the ideas get the attention they deserve and the result is limited success in a variety of things, rather than great success in one or two areas. Focus is a huge part of success.

Fifth, do not neglect your spiritual side. Do not get me wrong, I am not a religious man, nor do I disparage anyone that is. We all need to find the path that enlightens us. Many people are spiritual without being religious and many people with deep religious convictions are also very spiritual. Nurture your higher self. Focus on the positive in all things, and express gratitude for the people in your life that support you, and the blessings of the physical that surround you.

Conservative vs. Liberal Ideology: Dogma Dissection and Changing Thoughts

March 2, 2010

We are shaped by what we think. What we think is directly influenced by what we read, listen to and watch. So the environmental factors we choose, define our thinking. What does that mean?
As we are growing up, most of us have some reflection of our parents’ thinking. It might be a direct reflection, “Oh, [...]

eZINE Article Submitting Writing – The Big Push – 100 articles in 100 days

February 18, 2010

I have been crazy busy and racking my brains to write 100 articles in 100 days for my Ezine Articles account. There are a lot of reasons for this, mainly as a self-promotion tool. I have been loathe to submit articles to places because it’s just building their content and cementing their web stats and [...]

Stranger in a Strange Land

February 10, 2010

One of my favorite books of all times is Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein. He was a genius and often is referred to as the father of science fiction. He and Isaac Asimov put so much more than sci-fi into their books and both were amazingly prolific writers. You can argue that [...]

The last scene for the film Bite Nite was shot on Sunday afternoon, just prior to the Super Bowel. Wow, did I just write bowel instead of bowl? Did you know that super bowl is copyrighted and radio stations and talk shows, dj’s and all those sorts of folks aren’t even supposed to use the [...]

the Buried Life

January 30, 2010

Amazing. There is a show on MTV which does not concern strippers, sex, spoiled brats, rich folks (also spoiled brats, just all ages) or some burned out B list rock star or former lead singer of a one hit wonder band. Wow. I mean wow. What’s next for MTV? music videos? That would be an [...]

Well, Steve Jobs and Apple have finally revealed their version of the e- reader, named The iPad. So clever those lads and lassies at Apple are. But what if they decide to enter the fierce battle of feminine hygiene products? They are going to be stuck for a name then, aren’t they? Suddenly got caught [...]
