Thanks to one of my readers, she showed me the reason most people fail to achieve their dreams.

It is just like what you read in the title…

“Work on your dreams and your dreams will work for you”

The dream I’m referring here is not the dream that you make when you’re sleeping. It is a vision, an image of what you want to achieve in your life in the future.

So why do most people fail to make their dreams come true?

The reasons are quite simple and common. First, their dreams are not really dreams for them. For most people, when you ask them about their dreams, they’ll tell you something broad, which is too general. For example, you often heard people telling you they want to be rich or they want to have a lot of money.

What is the problem with this dream? It is just not specific enough. In other words, it also means that those who are telling you these dreams are not clear of what they really want in their life. For them, it is not a dream, it is just a flash of an idea or thought.

This is the first reason. The second reason is this, most people are not committed enough. Out of 100 people who tell you they want to be rich, only 1 out of them will set that dream as a goal and create an action plan to achieve it.

This is just too ridiculous don’t you think? People want to be successful. However, they do not know what successful really means to them and they’re not doing anything to be successful.

Now, think about what you want to achieve in your life, think about your dreams. Are they really your dreams? Are they worthy for you to pursue?

If you answer yes, then answer this following question now, why are your dreams still remain dreams?

Take your time and really think about this question. I know you want to be successful, but why you’re not successful YET?

I bet you’ll come up with a lot of excuses such as you don’t have the time to pursue for more wealth, you don’t have the time to run your own business, you don’t have the talent or skill and so on and so forth.

Let me tell you this, those excuses you made are the areas where you need improvement. You’re telling yourself where you’re lacking the ability to make what you want to come true.

If you’re telling yourself that you don’t have the time to build an extra small business, it simply means that your time management is not good enough.

If you’re telling yourself that you don’t have the money to invest in the market, it simply means you lack the knowledge of how to start investing from zero capital. Find yourself a book, attend seminars and workshop to learn how you can invest with small or zero capital!

If you’re telling yourself that your wife or your husband or your children are in your way, you need to learn how to build a perfect family and give your family good reasons for you to start your own business.

So stop making excuses and start taking action! You’re not going to become a millionaire by just visualizing or sitting and dreaming about it. You need action to achieve what you want in your life.

Last but not least, this is the reason that I like the most…

People becoming rich not because they want to be rich, it is because they are pursuing their dream and it is their dream that makes them rich.

If becoming rich is one of your dreams, then you’ll have to find out the reason you want to be rich.

It is just like if your dream is to help people how they can improve their memory skill. When you’re pursuing this dream, in the process of achieving it, you will automatically create the wealth and become rich.

It is your reason that will drive you forward.

Have you ever wondered why some people want to be rich? They feel happy when they drive big cars and live in luxury house. While for some other people who are living in the rural area, they feel that they’re successful and happy even they don’t have big cars or not living in luxury house.

Why is this so? It all comes down to your reasons, why you want to achieve what you want in your life.

I hope you’re clear with your dreams right now.

Work on your dreams and your dreams will work for you, live with passion!

Let’s face it, everyone, no matter who you are, where you’re from or what you do, I believe that you’ll  someday have to face the #1 success killer, procrastination.

To tell you the truth, when talking about overcoming procrastination or the lazy to take action, I feel guilty myself. Sometimes I’ll just feel lazy and just don’t have the motivation or energy to do the things I have to do. I believe you have faced this before in your life as well.

In fact, there is no procrastination. No matter what you do, it is a kind of action. It is either the action will produce the results you want or the results you don’t want.

It is just like if you decided to write an article, but you feel boring, you feel like just want to leave it and so you end up watching television. Watching television is also a kind of action. It is an action that will not lead you to the results or outcome you wish to have.

Have you ever woke early in the morning, feel sleepy, hit the alarm into snooze mode and just fall back into your bed and continue to sleep? This is also a kind of procrastination.

Maybe you plan to wake up 1 hour earlier to read a book or listen to an audio program. However, you just cannot make it. Once you wake up, there’s a voice telling you that you’re tired and you want to sleep. Have you faced this before? I bet you do.

In order to get rid of procrastination, you have to first…

Make It As A Habit

Yes, you have to take the action everyday to make it into a habit. For example, if you never brush your teeth before you sleep and you decided to do it start from today, you’ll have to develop it as a habit. What I mean here is that you have to keep on doing it every night without a miss for at least 21 days.

If you follow through and brush your teeth before you sleep for the next 21 days continuously, you’ll make it into a habit and you’ll never procrastinate it anymore. The longer the period you keep doing it the stronger you will condition your mind to make it into a habit.

This is why some people just can’t get rid of their smoking habit. That’s simply because they’re doing for so long and they’ve conditioned it into their mind, and finally it becomes a deep rooted habit.

If you have the habit of brushing your teeth every night before you sleep, you will feel uneasy and uncomfortable if you try to sleep without brushing your teeth.

So how can you actually handle procrastination?

Practice The Power Of Now

The answer is pretty simple. Like what Nike always say, “Just Do It!”

When you’re trying to do something, just do it. Don’t think and don’t stop. If you’re trying to write an article, just sit in front of your computer and write it. Don’t stop and don’t let yourself thinking whether should you write it. Just do it.

Often, it is our thinking that will lead us into procrastination. The more you think the more you will procrastinate. When you think about whether should you do it, your mind will focus in thoughts that will give you instant gratification or immediate pleasure.

And when this happens, you will find a lot of reasons for yourself to procrastinate.

Beware! If this keep on happening, you’ll make it a habit as well!

Some people have serious procrastination problem and this is the reason, because they’ve developed and conditioned procrastination as a habit.

So now you’ve learned it. The best way to handle procrastination, is the power of now. Do it right away, don’t stop and don’t think.

Success Is All About Getting Things Done

It is not difficult to handle procrastination actually. After you have identified what you’re going to do, create a schedule of when to do it, and when the time come, just do it.

Always remember this, success is a process, not a destination. If you’re taking action, you’re processing the results, you’re already half-way to success.

What you have to do to get rid of procrastination is to link procrastination with pain and not pleasure. In the same time, link getting things done with pleasure. By doing this, you will feel motivated and be more willing to start.

For example, if you’ve decided to spend 1 hour everyday to read a book, link reading the book as a fun process. Take it as something that you very enjoy, it’s your hobby and you’ll feel satisfy if you do it.

While doing this, link and imagine that if you’re not doing it people might look down on you. Maybe your children will laugh at you as you can’t even finish a book or so. The point is to link and imagine pain when you’re trying to procrastinate. This will give you the motivation to take the action you are supposed to take.

If you’re procrastinating something, don’t feel bad about it. I’ll also procrastinate sometimes. And I believe everyone does. Therefore, you still have the chance and time to change, to get rid of procrastination. Adopt the habit of doing it immediately… start from now!

This is one of the most seek questions if you’re new to the internet. When you come across any advertisement claiming that you can make money from the internet, do you believe that it is really possible to generate income from the internet?

I seldom talk about internet marketing in my blog, but since the era is changing, it is getting more and more internet millionaires these days, I guess I should also include it in my blog. And one of  my goals is to make money from the internet to achieve my financial goal as well.

So do you really think that you can really make money from the internet?

In a word, YES. Why did I say so? Simply because I’m one of the examples. 2 years ago I never thought that I’ll be making money from the internet. Today, I’m generating income from the comfort of my home, by just using my laptop.

I know that it is hard to get you to believe that you can generate income from the internet if you’re someone skeptical. Here is one of the checks that I received lately…

I’m not showing you this check to impress you, but to show you one thing, as long as you have the heart to do it, you can succeed in any industry that you are passionate about.

Internet Marketing Is A Learn-able Subject

This is the kind of income that many people are dreaming to acquire. I know that it may sounds easy, but if you’re new to the internet, there is a lot to learn. Especially when you’re just starting out and you don’t know a thing.

But internet marketing is a learn-able subject. Today, if you know nothing about the internet, you can learn. You’re on the same place with me. I do not have any internet knowledge, I don’t know how to create a website, I don’t know how to host a website, I don’t know what is HTML and I don’t even know how to blog when I first started.

So I guess you just need to apply the success principle of willing to learn and commit to never ending improvement. New tactics or strategies are discovered on how you can make money from the internet everyday. You definitely need to be updated and learn as much as you can.

I’m not asking you to read and learn all the time. The basics and the fundamental to build a successful internet business are the same. You just need to master the fundamental and focus on the subject you’re going to learn.

I’ve also attended the world’s #1 super affiliate, Ewen Chia’s workshop last year. By the way, if you’re going to learn how you can generate multiple streams of income using the internet, Ewen is the best guru for you. For me, his teachings are easy and simple, but the results you’re going to obtain are amazing!

Ewen is just like you and me, he started with absolutely nothing. Struggling for 5 years, he finally managed to build an online internet business empire that makes him millions of dollars. And because of all his hard work, he has discovered a proven system how to generate money from the internet. If you follow through his Internet Wealth System, do as he says, you’ll be creating an addition income stream from the comfort of your home.

I’m generating my income from affiliate marketing. Therefore, I just update myself with affiliate marketing news and tactics. I seldom read or learn about how to make money using eBay or so. This is to keep myself focus in what I do. It is just like a laser beam, once it is focused, it can cut through almost anything.

No matter it is in the field of internet marketing or to be successful in your life, everything is possible for you if you are committed and willing to do whatever it takes.

Even if it is in real estate, you can achieve your goals and your dreams even if you’re new in the industry. However, you must be willing to learn, commit yourself to take action and stay focused in your life.

This is what makes a successful person successful. No matter what field you’re in, as long as you possessed the success habits, you can be successful in any industry.
