I like to start with a story first.

———-

There was a man named Jimmy. He was a determined young man. He wanted to succeed in life. Jimmy was only 24 years old. He worked as a computer technician. He did ok, made a little money, but wanted much more!

Jimmy purchased a success book titled, “Think and Grow Rich!”…

He read the book but did not understand much of what was said. However, he heard about this book often and knew it was one of the best books ever written for achieving Riches!

Everyday after work, Jimmy read the book – over and over again. He also subscribed to various success magazines and often invested in success products.

Jimmy tried a few money-making-methods and made a few bucks here and there… nothing spectacular or life changing…

At one point, Jimmy decided he wanted to go into business for himself, and started his own computer repair shop. He went on a shoestring, borrowed some money from the bank, maxed out some credit cards, and eventually put the business out-of-business.

What gives?

He read all those books, studied all he could, but failed.

What’s next? He then goes and gets a job. However, something is pulling at Jimmy. He still believes he has what it takes and continues reading more success books.

Eventually, Jimmy finds himself attending a seminar where the speaker pitches him on a money-making-opportunity!

He decides to pursue this opportunity on the side, while working his business. He does ok, recruits some people, makes a little bit of money and tries to remain dedicated…

He recruited about 20 people into this business and has sold a few thousand dollars worth of products. All seems well. However, he spends a great deal of time helping those 20 people.

He hears all sorts of excuses as to why these people are not doing well themselves. One by one, he goes from 20 down to 19, 18, 15, 9, 3 and then none.

All of that work gone.

So, now he decides to move on and leave that opportunity behind…

A few years pass and Jimmy has kept learning, kept trying and kept failing…

Eventually, Jimmy cashes in! He eventually comes up with an idea he loves and has experience in, and this business just takes off! He’s making serious money now and is quite successful…Finally!

He’s done it. I guess you can say that his ship has come in… He looks back and smiles from ear to ear knowing that it was a journey getting where he is now. But, the journey was well worth it!

As Jimmy visits his parents, and drives up in his shinny new luxury car…

His father says, “Wow! I can not believe this is the same person who visited us a year ago!”

I hope you got my point here. It is the cumulative actions and choices that make up one’s destiny – or results!

When I first started my online business, I jumped around from one thing to another and did not making any decisions. Time was simply just wasted until I learn to take consistent and focused actions.

Talk to you again!
