Proven Principals to Escape The Rat Race

“A rat race is for rats. We're not rats. We're human beings. Reject the insidious pressures in society that would blunt your critical faculties to all that is happening around you, that would caution silence in the face of injustice lest you jeopardise your chances of promotion and self-advancement.” - Jimmy Reid

We all want to be better people as well as having time to be with friends and family. Unfortunately, most of us need to work.

The article below gives 7 principals that can be used to escape the rat race. While the examples are related to Internet marketing, these principals will work in anyone's life.

Escape The Rat Race By Using These 7 Proven Principles - by Merv Stevens

Successful internet marketer Joel Peterson, recently gave a talk on how to escape the rat race by using 7 proven principles. During the talk Joel gave some information on his past and how he used to work in corporate America but managed to escape that way of life nine years ago and has not looked back since.

So what are the principles Joel used to make this amazing transformation to a life of success and enjoyment for him and his family. Well he used 7 Proven Principles ANYONE can follow to escape the rat race.

Principle #1: Know Your Why

A few years ago Joel didn’t even know the meaning of the phrase “know your why”. He was not into personal development and the last book he had read was a Harry Potter novel.

But now things have changed. Joel is an avid reader constantly renewing and improving his mind. His big “why” is spending time with his family, going on trips together and attending his children's school events. This “why” has given him the desire and motivation to do what it takes to succeed in the network marketing and internet marketing arena.

It needs to be deeper than just getting more money or the big fancy house or car. It needs to be written down so that you can refer to it and remind yourself of what what your working towards when things get tough. Everyone’s “why’” is different, but you need to identify yours and work on it.

Principle #2: Your Beliefs

This is a big, big, big one. You have to believe that whatever you are doing can really work. It’s not just believing in the company you are with or the opportunity, but believing in yourself. You have to have the belief that YOU can accomplish things and that it can happen for you. And how do you do that… you need to hear the testimonies of other people who are achieving success. This can be done by logging into company calls and webinars or by attending events.

People are attracted to positive people and so you have to put any negative attitudes you have aside. Start using positive words in your language and remove negative words like “can’t”.

Principle #3: How You Treat Others

Unfortunately there are some internet marketers who treat people more like dollar signs rather than real living human beings. They do not care what type of product or services they sell as long as they are making money. We all know there are great internet marketing products out there, like Pure Leverage, which you can sell knowing that it will be of value and benefit to others. However, there are also a lot of scammy products that do not work and are a waste of time and money.

The unscrupulous internet marketer will sell all kinds of products, whether good or bad, and look upon their customers as numbers from whom money can be made. But a business run in this way will not last. If you want to build a long-term sustainable home business you have to stop treating people merely as dollar signs.

You have to remember that there is a real person behind everyone of your transactions – a person just like you. If you start respecting your customers and thinking about them as real people then you will go onto build a profitable business with large and successful teams.

Principle #4: Taking Action

This is huge because when many people first get involved in a business they very get excited. They come to the seminars, go through the courses and may even get a blog. But unfortunately they do NOT do the actionable things required to build a business. When you start out you have to be focused and take action on the things that are really going to help you grow your business.

Escape The Rat Race By Using These 7 Proven Principles

If you are consistent in these actions then you will achieve success. When you get results then you will get more excited and take further effective action that will grow your business even more. But what is the #1 action to guarantee success? Invite people to take a look at your business opportunity. There are a number of ways to do this. You can invite people online or invite people in person.

If you focus just on this one action and invite people to take a look at a video, a presentation or attend a seminar, then you will achieve success. If you are not inviting everyday, whether that be on your blog, on your newsletter or in person, you will not have as much success. Even if you are the worst inviter, if you do enough of it, you will get better and in time become a master inviter and recruiter.

Principle #5: How You Handle Failure

A lot of the time people look at a successful marketer like Joel Peterson and say “Oh, but you’re so successful and everything you do turns to gold“. But he had failed in many business previously, from a windscreen repair company, to solid waste disposal management and network marketing. Joel learnt from these failures.

If you quit and just curl up in a ball and turn the TV on and go back to your life of “quiet desperation” then you have a problem. Do not be afraid to fail. All successful people have had failures but they have learnt from them and used them as stepping stones on their path to success.

Principle #6: Keeping It Simple

Internet marketing can be a complicated business – choosing a niche, building a blog, finding keywords, driving traffic, etc. But you need to focus on simplicity. Do a few simple things over and over again and teaching others to do the same, is all you need to build a successful business online.

Here’s the thing…. when you focus on those simple activities and you plug yourself into what is called the “School of Involvement”, over time you will learn those things that you think are complicated. Focusing on the simple activities will generate income now and those other things will take care of themselves. If you are trying to learn to much at one time and complicating things, then you are not keeping it simple and you will get over-whelmed.

Principle #7: Duplication

A lot of people are not aware of what duplication means. It means getting a group of people to do a few simple things over a consistent period of time. Once this happens then the people you teach will have success and the people they teach will also have success. Before you know it you will begin to get forty emails a day of downline signups and customer signups.

What happens as your business starts to grow is that you will find people who will begin to grow their business without needing you because duplication has occurred. This will happen as long as you follow a system that is simple and you teach other people to follow the same simple system. In this way you can grow a very large business.

You’ll have to watch out for the “Internet Marketing Hustle”. A lot of internet marketers live from product launch to product launch. They create a product and then launch it relying on JV’s (joint venture partners) to promote it. This is then repeated again and again – the “Internet Marketing Hustle”. In this way you haven’t really created a business but just a glorified job, working crazy hours.

This method of business does not have duplication. Having a business with duplication pays you by leveraging not only your won efforts but also the effort of others. Focus on leverage.

The principals mentioned above will help you get rid of the chains that keep you tied to the corporate world. Focusing on these 7 Proven Principles and taking action will bring you success. Concentrate on the things that you want to overcome, have belief, be consistent in taking action and eventually you too will escape the rat race.

Six Things Your Life Coach Doesn't Want You To Know - by Judy Widener

There are many confusing and false messages bouncing around in cyberspace about life coaching. After coaching 600 people over the past 13 years, talking with dozens of coaches and surfing the websites of about 100 more, I'm sharing my take on what coaching is and isn't. I'd like to say upfront that my intention is not to offend or denigrate. I'm simply stating my informed opinion, which is best taken with a grain of salt.

It's important to start with the fact that the field of coaching is unregulated. This means that anyone, without any formal training, can call themselves a life coach. And they can coach any way they please. So caveat emptor! The onus of choosing the coach who will serve you best is on you.

In my research, I've found that there are basically 2 kinds of life coaches, and the contrast is stark. There are coaches who say they'll hold you accountable and help you stay motivated until you achieve your goals. They tout their excellent listening and questioning skills as their core talents. In my admittedly unscientific survey, about 99% of the coaches I have met in person and online fall into this category.

In the other camp are coaches with excellent listening and questioning skills who say they'll help you develop new ways of thinking and behaving. These coaches have studied and developed specific techniques that you can learn, then apply to any issue for the rest of your life. The goal of this type of coaching is for you to master the skills, using them independently to attain your desires faster, more efficiently and more enjoyably.

In my opinion, coaching that goes on indefinitely, with you relying on the support of your coach to achieve goals (but not learning new skills) is codependency, not coaching. Intentionally or not, anyone who does this isn't a coach, they're a parasite. True life coaches have a set of strategies you can use to evolve yourself for the rest of your life. Beyond merely achieving goals, coaching is about your growth as a human being.

With that said, I do believe that all coaches have a genuine desire to assist. However, most coaches' training (if they have any) is, well, the nicest words I can think of are...incomplete and, in some instances, inappropriate.

With that background in place, let's peek behind the curtain at the biggest secrets in coaching.

Secret #1: Promising You Instant Results is Impossible

The Industrial and Information Ages have proliferated a plethora of gadgets, pills, books and videos that promise instant results. Not surprisingly, you've been programmed to expect that coaching will immediately make your life better.

Accordingly, many coaches feel strong pressure to fulfill this expectation by producing some kind of dramatic “breakthrough” in every coaching session. The idea is that if the coach asks you the right deep questions, you'll have a brilliant flash of insight. There are two fallacies here. The first is in thinking that coaches “do” something to their clients. In fact, it's up to the client to take the actions that will produce the results they're looking for.

Second, coaching is a process, not an event.

While you may see some improvement in one session, life-altering, permanent improvements take time, repeated focus, and learning new ways to do things differently. Of course, major shifts can happen, but both you and your coach will put unnecessary pressure on yourselves by trying to force you to make a huge change you don't need or aren't ready for.

Sure, questioning is a major part of coaching. But the role of questions isn't to sledge hammer you into a dramatic breakthrough. Questions are one tool used to guide you in your process of gaining incrementally deeper self-knowledge. The goal of coaching isn't to rush to get it done, it's to help you learn as much as you can.

The processes of learning and making internal shifts in thinking is as unique as fingerprints and as unknowable as the depths of the ocean. It takes whatever time you need. Even with the biggest crystal ball in the world, no coach can promise a specific result by a certain date.

Any coach who tells you that you'll achieve a certain level in 1,3, or 10 coaching sessions is ignoring your individuality and your responsibility for your own growth. This is inconsistent with the basic philosophy of coaching.

Secret #2: Personality Tests are Worthless for Choosing Your Career


The widely accepted myth of personality is that, by adulthood, it's set in stone. But in 100 years of intense study, psychologists can't even agree on the definition of personality, much less the limits of its development.

Two popular personality tests that life and career coaches use are the Myers-Briggs and the DISC. Their thinking is that you should choose a career that matches your personality (shaky ground indeed).

The purported benefit of this strategy is to narrow the overwhelming field of career choices. To alleviate your suffering, the coach squeezes you into one of a handful of boxes, then hands you a relatively short list of careers that some undefined percentage of those with your personality type could be “successful” in.

Never mind that these tests have no scientific validity. Meaning, you could take the same test on two different days and get two very different results. On top of that, these tests compare you to arbitrary norms (which are gender, ethnicity and culturally biased), ignoring your individuality and your context.

The icing on the cake is that since studies have shown that the Myers-Briggs does not predict job success well, using it for this purpose is expressly discouraged in its manual. But inexplicably, lots of coaches make gobs of money doing just that. That just seems unethical, or at least antithetical to the spirit of coaching.

The DISC is based on the faulty logic that you possess one of four personality types, which can be teased out by forcing you to choose one of four options for each question on the test. What if you don't agree with any of the choices? If you choose enough options that don't reflect what you truly think, the results are less than worthless. They can be destructively misguiding.

The best coaches will tell you that your personality traits are simply patterns of behavior you've developed (and gotten comfortable with) over your lifetime. As a pattern of behavior, any trait can be consciously changed any time you like, if you have the tools. Accordingly, their conversation about your career won't use the strategy of matching a job in Column A to a trait in Column B.

Secret #3: Taking Action For The Sake Of Action Undermines Your Real Power

To achieve the results they tout, coaches preach action. Lots of it. They think that if you do more, you'll get more, faster. They'll sell you fancy spreadsheets and planners to track your actions, too.
But in all of this act-act-act, you can lose sight of your motivation: why you want what you want. It's by staying focused on why you want something "the benefits of having it" that you'll find the juice to keep pursuing it until you get it.

As I stated in my previous post, most coaches describe their role as holding you accountable to take big actions before the next coaching call. Their strategy is that you'll be motivated by the desires to avoid the humiliation of having nothing to report, and this scheme does work. Avoiding humiliation is a strong motivator, but it pulls you away from your greatest source of power: your passion.

So accountability is the default strategy for coaches who don't have any tools to address the real issue: how to deal with the negative thoughts that block you from freely pursuing your passion.

The best coaches don't rely on your human drive to avoid pain (humiliation, guilt, etc). Instead, they fan the flames of your motivation to seek whatever you're passionate about.

Secret #4: Success Isn't A Destination, And You Can't Possess It

Coaches talk a lot about achieving success, as if success were a thing you could possess. Well, if it were, then success would also be a destination. Once you achieve it, you'll be able to sit back and coast for the rest of your life.

When you're driven to succeed, you allow yourself to feel good only after you've completely achieved that desire. But in this scenario, the good feeling eventually fades, which prompts you to go after another goal so you can feel good again.

However, there's a huge difference between being successful and having a fulfilling life. Success is a distant external goal you might achieve someday. Every day until then is about work, effort, sacrifice and pain. Deferred gratification.

On the other hand, when you choose a fulfilling life, every step you take in the direction of every desire becomes an act of fulfillment. You experience fulfillment as an internal choice that creates a perpetual state of being: you feel fulfilled every day.

Secret #5: Success Doesn't Require Discipline. Even If You Think You Need It, You Have Plenty Of It

Coaches insist that it takes discipline and commitment to be successful. But you already possess all the discipline, commitment and courage you need to get anything you want. You just don't know it, you certainly can't feel it and you don't need it, anyway. In their defense, most coaches are unaware of this, too.

Here's the proof: If you've ever worked a job you didn't like for more than 10 minutes, you have discipline. My bet is that you've worked for years at jobs you found boring or otherwise uninspiring, did favors for others you didn't want to do, and performed admirable household chores to boot. That takes HUGE discipline!

So give yourself some credit. Just because you struggle to lose 10 pounds doesn't mean you're a wimpy, undisciplined loser. It just means you don't know how to focus yet.

After coaching 600 people, I've seen that you don't need to develop strong skills of commitment, courage or discipline to enjoy a fulfilling life. All you need is passion.

You see, passion isn't just a feeling, it's a tour de force. When you engage your passion, tons of energy, discipline, courage and commitment (more on this next) come along for the ride. What's true is that it's your nature to think about, talk about and pursue the object of your passion until you get it. When you think about it, discipline and commitment are just synonyms for the desire to stay focused on what you want until you get it.

But discipline is a heavy word. Baggage-laden with guilt, frustration, disappointment and failure. Coaches are useful for easing the weight of that baggage only if they emphasize the pursuit of passion as the basis and driver of every goal.

Secret #6: Commitment Doesn't Create Limitations You “Just Have To Live With”

There's a pervasive belief in our culture that making a commitment creates limitations. When you choose one career or one mate, you're essentially un-choosing every other possibility. You're stuck with your choice, forever sacrificing other attractive options.

This perspective misses an important point. Ultimately, a commitment is an expression of your freedom to choose. Once you choose, you're free to express yourself fully in the context of that career, relationship, hobby, whatever. And as long as you live, you're always free to choose again, and again, and again...

When you order the fish, you've excluded the steak or the chicken from that meal. But from herbs to cooking methods to side dishes, there are innumerable variations on any food you choose. Don't forget that every meal also includes a salad and a dessert; more ways to satisfy your palate. The point is, there are infinite ways to spice up your career, your relationships, and every other part of your life so that you'll feel full (fulfilled) every day. The only limitation is your imagination.
You can't earn a living without choosing a career path. You can't have a fulfilling romantic life without a beloved. So choose the steak career or mate. Or the chicken or fish career or mate. Just choose, live and learn. You can always choose again if you discover you need to do that.

Success Through Goal Setting

“Successful people are simply those with successful habits.” - Brian Tracy


Setting goals is important for your success not just for business but for your life.

The article below outlines why goal setting is important as well as giving a method of setting your goals.

Michael Wilkovesky

Why Is Goal Setting Important To Your Life Success - By: Truman Burger

Why is goal setting important to you in your personal and career choice? Goal setting is an on going life long process that defines what direction an individual wants to go. Usually this is an idea or a wish for personal, business, relationship, etc. change. The SMART goal process is easy to apply.

Most people's biggest problem in goal writing, is where to begin. The first step is to decide what area of your life you want to improve or change. Would you like to drink more glasses of water each day? Would you like to have your credit cards under control? Does your business endeavors need expanding? Take out a sheet of paper immediately. Quickly, write down some things that you would like to see happen in your life. Cover all areas of your life, personal, relationship, business, charity, etc. You may have several in one category and none in another. Keep writing until you cannot think of anything else, but keep the list handy, because once this process starts, it will keep flowing.

Everyone remembers setting a New Year's resolution and two days into the New Year, the resolution is completely forgotten. The downfall for most people is that they do not write down their resolution. Pure and simple, the act of writing commits you. This commitment gives the goal setting power. With written objectives, everything gets accomplished.

There are tricks to goal setting that makes all aspirations possible. Apply the SMART principle.

Specific "Drink more water" is not specific. Drink 8 glasses of water per day, is.

Measurable You must be able to calculate results on your efforts. This goes back to being specific. By stating the desire to drink 8 glasses of water a day, you can record your progress.

Attainable Steps This is a very important aspect. If you are not a good water drinker, it doesn't bode well for saying that tomorrow I will drink 8 glasses of day. However, 4 glasses a day would be a good start

Relevant The more relevant your goal is, the greater the chances for success. If drinking more water improves your health and makes you feel better, you will be more apt to succeed.

Time Bound There has to be a time frame. This binds specific and measurable together. Now you need to pick a time-frame to your goal.

The whole idea is to set yourself up for the win. Put SMART into action.

Now the next important step is to record what is actually happening each day. Create a chart, broken down into weeks, with each day listed and record each step towards your objective. Then reward yourself. This could be a smiley face or a check mark for each successful day and a bigger reward at the end of a successful week. Tracking your actions provides for accountability. Who are you accountable to? Yourself, of course. Along with accountability comes the elation of accomplishment.

Will you have days that you do not accomplish your targeted level? Of course! The important part is to not beat up on yourself and give up. Reaffirm your commitment for the next day.

Goal setting is a lifelong process. Whether it is for personal or business reasons, the process remains the same. The completion of a goal prompts for another one. When you see the progress made, goal setting becomes a friend instead of something to avoid at all costs.

Just remember the SMART plan: Specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time bound. Look at the list you have written. Pick something small and easily attained. Decide on your why of that idea. Pick a time frame and create attainable steps. Begin now!!

Why Set Goals?

“In the absence of clearly-defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia until ultimately we become enslaved by it.” - Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988)


We all want success and our lives to be filled with those things that make us happy and make us feel good. We need to set goals to ensure that we are actually moving forward in our lives and not standing still.


The article below gives some good advice about goal setting.

Goals Setting For Success - by Kirby Key

Imagine living a life of all night parties, and cocktails, and twenty four hour fun. Next picture yourself as a business manager or the owner of a doctorate degree. What sounds better to you? Ultimately, you decide what you want out of life. Happiness is something that you need to pursue. In order to achieve your dreams, though, you need to clearly define your goals.


Goals Setting: The Importance of Doing It


Goals set, why? If you want to gain success in your life, goals setting will prove to be important. Setting and achieving goals involves thinking deeply about what, how and when to accomplish those settings.


Whenever you do this, all of the efforts that you make will be directed to this goal. If it doesn't in some way contribute to your plan, then you are just going to have to weed that activity out.


Don't mistake this for not having time for relaxation and recharging. Time management play an important role in reaching your goals. Don't foist your unfulfilled dreams off on your children.


Always keep in mind that your children may have different goals than you do, and imposing your goals will only create a gap.


Like others who have made their goals as a part of their routine they need years after they plan for such goals to achieve it. Setting goals in your life can be important to some, not to others.


Defining Your goals are determined by what factors?


You must clear your mind before you start the goal setting process. Goals do not simply appear out of the blue. The goal you set comes from prior experiences which have reinforced what it is that you wish to get out of life.


Keep in mind that any new goals must not be contrary to those you are trying to achieve now. For example, you have arrived at the peak in your career as a school counselor and you decide to become a photographer in the next three years. Due to this circumstances setting having your own counseling clinic as your goal seems more reasonable.


These goals should be positive and fairly lofty. Goals that are too easy do not present challenges. Keep in mind, too, that it's important to set a time schedule for your goals.


Time constraints encourage you to work hard using the fastest method possible. Lastly, you must write down all the details of your goals in order to have quick access to them.


Becoming an Expert in Goals Setting


You simply cannot stop yourself from learning more, now that you have an idea of how to set goals for yourself.} If you'd like to achieve more goals, then you can't stop researching how to achieve them. Setting your goals in order is followed by learning in depth goals setting processes, which can then be used to achieve success with larger goals.


You must keep abreast of updated changes as technological advancements are constantly evolving. Moreover, if you go to seminars, read both electronic and print sources, and practice goals setting each time, you'll develop and then master your abilities in this particular area. What you really want to come away with is a keen ability for effective goals setting.


The road to success is paved with you sitting down with effective goals setting sessions. The quicker you drink it all in, the sooner the desired results will follow.

Using The Law Of Attraction And Its Benefits - By: Felicia Fillmore

Making the Law of Attraction Stronger with Positive Thinking

Having a a great attitude plays a big part in using the Law of Attraction. If you have an attitude of optimism and positivity, you will have a powerful effect on your environment. Remember Murphy's Law? You know, "whatever can go wrong, will!" Smiling broadly and adjusting your posture so that you're sitting up straight might be a good way to help turn your mood around. Can you feel a difference? Immediately, your blood stats pumping faster and your confidence is elevated, and you know that you're up to whatever life throws at you! Would you rather hang around someone who is brooding all the time or with someone who has a happy disposition in life? As you adopt and maintain that positive outlook on life, you'll see that you'll be getting more and more of the things you want in life! A positive outlook will always help you to see positive things, both in the people around you and in the circumstances they're in. Positive people attract positive things and negative people will only attract negative outcomes.

Visualization and the Law of Attraction

Now that you've got a positive outlook, you need to set yourself a concrete goal! What's your most serious desire? The job of your dreams? A new car? The kind of romance that novels are written about? Draw a mental picture of yourself having achieved that goal. Keeping that picture in your mind can help you focus on that goal, but having a real picture helps even more! Try making a vision board. Get a cork board and put up pictures of what you want. All sorts of things can distract you from your goals, no matter how strongly you visualize them. Your vision board will keep your goal constantly in sight.


Making the Law of Attraction Stronger with Affirmations:


The Law of Attraction is made much more powerful when affirmations are used. Strong affirmations can help you stay aligned with what you want. The Law of Attraction will work best for you when you believe that the achievement of your goal is critical to your happiness. Part of setting your goals must be to believe - really, truly believe - that you deserve to achieve them. Try this reinforcement method: as the last thing you do before going to sleep at night, write out one or two sentences outlining your goals and why you want them to happen.

How to Use Gratitude to Enhance the Law of Attraction:

To help me begin my day on a positive note, I like to think of the things I'm grateful for every day as soon as I wake up. There's kind of a snowball effect that comes from that, anticipating all the positive things that can happen in the day. Being grateful is like having a positive outlook - it helps you to focus on the the good things in life. Having gratitude is a very important factor in using the Law of Attraction. There are probably instances from your life when you felt that gratitude was impossible. Just keep in mind that it is important that you take responsibility for all your actions. The influence of our thoughts on subsequent events is too often underestimated. Everything that you are going through is a result of the manifestations of the choices you’ve made and the emotions you’ve felt at some point in your life. It’s important to recognize and express gratitude for EVERYTHING in your life. Like writing down your affirmations, you can reinforce your feelings of gratitude by keeping a gratitude journal, writing down 5 things every night just before going to sleep.


Don't feel badly if you can't follow these tips and guidelines regularly, every day. You will still have days when the level of adversity seems almost impossible to overcome. By using these tips everyday, you can align yourself to what you want in life and manifest your desires.

Life Success Needs Rules?

5 Rules For Success In Life - By: Kari Farmer

Success in life is defined differently by many different people. Some think success means having all the money you want to buy all the toys you want. Some think success is being loved by a large family and always having friends around. Whatever your definition of success is, there are some rules for success in life that should be followed in order to really be satisfied and feel accomplished.


Rule For Success #1 – Take Action


This is the biggest rule of them all. If you don’t take action then you can’t reach the desired outcome. Many people let fear hold them back from going out and getting what they want, but you will find that if you can overcome that fear then you will start achieving things you’ve always wanted to achieve.


Rule For Success #2 - Be Positive


If you are not positive then chances are you will not try. This is part of the fear. You tell yourself that you will never achieve that dream anywase so why bother. Or maybe you put yourself down and tell yourself you are not good enough, fast enough, smart enough, or rich enough to get the things you want. You have pretty much given up before you have even started at this point. Gain some self-confidence and be positive about your abilities, then go out and achieve your dreams!


Rule For Success #3 - Think Outside the Box


If you follow the crowd then you will get the same results that the crowd gets. If you step outside of the line and think for yourself, then you will get your own unique results. Those unique results will be the ones that make you feel successful, because they were defined by you as something worth achieving.


Rule For Success #4 - Don’t Always Listen to Your Elders


Your elders have a lot of life experience, and they can help you avoid making huge mistakes in your life, but a lot of what they tell you is from their own opinions and fears. Maybe they tell you that the only way to earn a safe and secure living is to work for the government. That’s simply not true. But because that is their opinion they do not waiver on it, and they can be very convincing as well.


The truth is, there are probably a lot of things they didn’t try in their life that you would like to try, and because they are fearful of it they will not accept it as a logical way to go about life. But that shouldn’t hold you back from making it your way of life. You may find happiness and success on that path, where you wouldn’t find it on the path they want you to take.


Rule For Success #5 - Don’t Listen to Naysayers


There will be a lot of negative people who put down your dreams and desires. They can influence you to stop working towards your success altogether. But you can’t listen to these people because the reasons they have don’t apply to you. You are an individual who has a lot to offer. They may be jealous, miserable, and negative people who don't believe in anyone or anything. Their opinion is a reflection of their beliefs.


An example of this is Elvis Presley. He had many negative people come into his life. For instance, he once tried out for a local vocal quartet, and was rejected on the premise that he couldn’t sing! He shortly tried out for another band and was told to stick to his truck driving career because he was never going to make it as a singer! Can you imagine if he had listened to those people? He may have given up altogether, and our world would have never heard his voice and been changed because of it.
