Affirmation: My determination sets me up for success.

Daily, I picture myself enjoying great victories. Whatever my heart dreams and my mind envisions, becomes a reality through my determination. In my mind, I am confident that I will succeed because I have an unshakeable faith in my abilities.

When a door closes, I keep pounding until it opens because I am determined to find a way to achieve what I have set out to accomplish. If all doors are closed, I look for a window or I make my own path because I am unstoppable.

Giving up is not an option. I am unaffected by temporary failures. I reject fear, doubt, and unbelief. I shut out all the voices that speak these things to me and remind myself that life is only as difficult as I choose to see it. When I am tired, I drink from the cup of perseverance to quench my thirst.

Success is within my reach because I have the necessary skills to achieve it. I am willing to face all the odds against me and I am determined to defeat them. The strength to overcome obstacles is within me.

By seeking relationships with people who encourage me and push me forward, I position myself on the path to triumph. Excuses are absent from my vocabulary because they simply cloud my vision.

Today, I choose to focus my vision to see only victory. I turn off all distractions in order to concentrate on the things that are important to me.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. What distractions do I need to turn off?
2. How can I eliminate excuses from my vocabulary?
3. How can I persevere in the face of a closed door?

Affirmation: My desire to succeed is more powerful than disappointment.

I am successful because I am driven by my dreams instead of my circumstances. Focusing on my goals helps me overcome disappointment and enables me to accomplish what I set out to do.

Disappointment is sure to come, but how I handle it is what sets me apart from the rest. I refuse to give in to the destructive effects of self-pity.

When I am down, I dust off my knees and get back up again because my dreams are worth the fight. The clouds of disenchantment may try to block my view, but my strong will helps me to look clearly past my current situation.

Even in the face of setbacks, I am at peace because I understand that failure is temporary as long as I learn from it and move on. My attitude remains unchanged, even when my circumstances change.

My ultimate goal is to utilize my abilities to make a difference in the world. I am more concerned with fulfilling my purpose in life than with pleasing everyone around me.

Criticism and disappointment are simply distractions that try to take my attention from the things that matter most. When I catch myself wallowing in self-pity, I snap out of it by reminding myself of my priorities.

When disappointment comes, instead of quitting, I envision myself crossing the finish line. I visualize myself tasting the sweetness of victory that awaits me if I persevere. I tell myself over and over again why I do what I do.

Today, I choose to stir within myself a new passion for what I do in order to strengthen my will. I refuse to allow temporary failure to rob me of my dreams.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. How can I overcome disappointment?
2. What lessons have I learned from a recent failure?
3. What is my ultimate goal?

Affirmation: Fear is no match for my strong will to succeed.

When feelings of fear start to creep into my mind, I replace these thoughts with the confidence built into my toolkit. Some of these tools include prayer, meditation, affirmations, positive self-talk, an optimistic mindset, and sure-fire success strategies.

Whew! With such an arsenal, it's no wonder that fear doesn't have a chance!

When I'm determined to achieve a goal, I use my sure-fire success strategies from the very start. I take the time to make a detailed plan of every task required to reach this goal and I ensure each task is achievable.

My detailed plan prevents any fear of the unknown, since I know that, by tending to one task at a time, I can reach my goals.

Since I know my tasks are achievable, I start out with easy confidence. Fear can only raise its ugly head when I encounter challenges. If I start hearing the dreaded "what ifs," I quickly banish them from my mind with positive self-talk and affirmations, and jump right in to seeking a solution for the challenge.

Rather than give in to my fears by sitting around worrying, I forge confidently ahead and try to get back on track toward my goal.

I prevent plenty of fears with my daily routine of prayer and meditation. I envision my success in every detail and use my meditation to rejuvenate my confidence and spur me on to positive daily action.

Today, I have no worries about my fears because I have equipped myself with my confidence-boosting toolkit and my strong will to succeed.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Do I let my fears stop me from pursuing my goals?
2. What fears challenge me right now?
3. How can I get past that fear and back on track toward success?

The one vital ingredient that is the secret to success is: doing something you truly love.

Secret to internet marketing success

Have you ever wondered if there is a secret to internet marketing success?

I guess we all understand it takes tenacity, determiniation, persistance, willingness to be open to new ideas and willingness to learn. After all a lot of us were born before anyone had even heard the term internet marketing so there are very few "natural born" internet marketers. The genes have just not had the chance to infiltrate down through the generations as yet.

Anyway, perhaps you have all the qualities I mentioned above and even a few more. However, unless you have one vital ingredient internet marketing success may still elude you.

The one vital ingredient is creating your internet business around something you love! Let's face it, even if you hate internet marketing, you can always hire someone to help you do that for you while you get on with the job of writing ebooks, sourcing information etc on your much loved topic.

In fact, success can come from nearly anything you do. If you have a solid plan and work consistently to see it through, you’re bound to enjoy some lucrative results. However, the likelihood of sticking to your plans increases by a lot if you’re actually enjoying the journey.

There are many benefits to having an internet business about a topic you love versus something that doesn’t inspire you, but here are a few big ones:

1) First, you’ll automatically give it a stronger level of effort and focus than you would with something that’s unpleasant or tiresome. You’ll avoid the temptation to procrastinate because you’ll actually look forward to working on it. In fact, you’ll be having so much fun with it that it won’t feel like “work” at all!

2) Rather than expecting to see big results from your efforts right away, you’ll see the value in letting the process unfold in its own time. With most goals, you’re focused only on getting it done, reaching the finish line before you experience a sense of satisfaction. When you’re doing something you love, the payoff at the end is just a nice bonus – the true reward comes from each moment you spend working on your labor of love!

3) You’ll have more fun in the process. Have you ever achieved something that was extremely difficult and strenuous? By the time you reached the finish line you were probably too tired and relieved that it was over to fully enjoy the sense of accomplishment you would have felt otherwise. With something you truly love, you’ll have fun the whole way through, and get a much bigger “high” when you finally do achieve it.

Many argue that commitment and determination to see it through are all that's required to be successful. In fact, if you’re disciplined and have strong willpower, you can make anything happen, whether you love it or not. But I think that's way too hard! Why risk your health and wellbeing by forcing yourself to be successful, when it's more than likely you'll be more successful doing something you love.

My love is personal development. I have come to really enjoy internet marketing as well. I realised quite early on that if I wanted to reach people with my personal development website, then I had to market it and fortunately I enjoy that as well.

The website development software I use is SiteBuildIt!. Grab a heap of freebies by clicking the link. Essentially, SiteBuildIt! provides an easy to use website builder, hosting, keyword research tools, autoresponders (although you may need 3rd party autoresponder when your business grows), analyses webpages to ensure the search engines will find them, automatically creates sitemaps and heaps of resources to walk you through step by step on creating your own internet business. (You don't even need to know what you want your site to be about as it has a brainstorming function to help you decide what is like to be more profitable for you.)

The only criticism I have about SiteBuildIt! is that the page builder becomes a bit "clunky" once you begin to get comfortable with HTML. However, there is no need to use the site builder if you don't want to as there is the functionality to upload your own HTML pages.

As of today the price is only $299.00 per year which is extraordinary for what you get. I highly recommend you check this out, particularly for those without a website or those with a website that just doesn't work.

Hope you got something out of todays article.
