The Butterfly Effect

Add your comment

Chill out, I’m going to talk about biology today. Just kidding, what I’m going to share with you today is about The Butterfly Effect. I bet many of you never heard of this before. Oh well, maybe you’ve heard of it before, there’s a movie also called The Butterfly Effect. But this is not about the movie, this is a phenomenon about small changes in your life can bring you a huge changes. Ok, here’s the story how The Butterfly Effect was found.

 

Butterfly Effect

About four decades ago, Edward Lorenz found out about this. As a meteorologist, he was doing research about weather patterns. In the process of keying all the data into his computer, something happened. What he saw was that his simulated new weather pattern had diverged dramatically from his previous research.

At first, he thought that it was the computer malfunction, then suddenly it hit him. It was not the computer malfunction, it was the data that he typed into his computer. In the original programming, he used six decimal places, ie .506321, but oin the second run, he rounded the numbers to 3 decimal places, ie .506. He assume the difference would have no huge impact, and it can be neglected, but he was wrong. The slight changes had made a BIG difference. The small changes in input had quickly created an overwhelming different output!

And this phenomenon is called The Butterfly Effect. It means that the tiny changes can contribute to large changes. After that, W. Edwards Deming also come up with this idea. After many years of study, Deming pointed out that in every process there is a beginning and an end. If you focus the initial 15% of that process and get it correct, the following 85% will be in your hands. Therefore as you can see, sometimes with small changes that we took in our lives, it will bring huge results.

Ok, let me give you an example here. Many people wish to become a Millionaire, they plan their plan, take actions, but still many of them could not achieve it. This is because it all started with small actions or changes that they took. To be a Millionaire is a long run, you cannot achieve this in just one or two days. All of your tiny hard work counts everyday when you take little action about it. Maybe I should say it this way, recording all your incomes and expenses (financial data) daily is a very important task if you are serious to be a Millionaire. Yet a lot of people fail to spend this few minutes a day to do so, they spend 1 hour a month not to record their financial, but they spend it paying bills.

Next, according to what Deming told us, the first 15% of any process will decide the rest (85%) of the process. Indeed it is true. Anything we do in our life, the first or initial step is the most important because it will decide the following result. There’s a girl who likes to play tennis, everyday she stand besides the court and see people playing tennis. When those who are playing asking her to join together, she declined, saying that she don’t know how to play. 20 years later, she is still an audience, just because she didn’t took the first step to join and that cost her her favorite sports. Does this story happens on you? And honestly, are you like this?

Well, now you know that what the Butterfly Effect means, so always remember this effect and apply it in your life. It will bring huge changes to you. Take the first step, do not afraid of losing, whatever happen, happens. The worst thing that could happen will not cost your life.

Let’s Talk About Money

2 Comments

 

Money

Hi, how do you look at money? What does money means to you? Let’s talk about money in this post. So what is money actually? Is it something to buy products? Or maybe you’ll say money is the root of all evil, or money equals power, or money is something that everyone is crazy about?

There are tons of definition of money out there. But to me, money is either good or bad, it depends on how you look at money. Money is neutral, you can use it you can destroy it. Actually, in this world, there are plenty of money, because we are lack of money, that is why we often think that money is scarce, money is not enough.

In fact, everything is money! Not money is everything! Why did I said so? Look carefully around you, the computer that you’re using, the chair that you’re sitting, the food that you’re eating everyday, the toothbrush that you use every morning, everything, is making somebody a Millionaire or already made somebody Millionaire. If you see this post, great, look at Blogger, look at Google, how much did the trio (three founder of Google) made from Google? That is why I said Everything Is Money! And there are plenty of it!

Ok, then what about wealth? How do you define wealth? Many people think that wealth equals money, wealth means money. But actually, this is not the case. For me, wealth is knowledge, knowledge about how to create money. Let me give you an example, there’s a guy asked Henry Ford this question before, ‘what will you do if I take away all your money?’ And Henry Ford told that guy, ‘give me 5 years, I will get everything back.’ So you see, wealth is knowledge, once you have the knowledge, it is just a matter of time and your willingness to get rich. Another example is this, it’s about Robert Allen. Robert Allen is a wealthy guy in Real Estate, and he took many challenges before, one of the challenges he took goes like this:

“Send me to any city in the United States. Take away my wallet. Give me $100 for living expenses. And in 72 hours I will buy an excellent piece of real estate using none of my own money.” (You can find out more about Robert Allen here)

And did he made it? Yes, definitely, he was been flew to Los Angeles, and the result? He purchased 7 properties worth $772,000 all in 57 hours. Amazing? Truly. So you see, they took away Robert’s wallet, but yet, he could still purchase so much properties. This give a strong prove that wealth is not counted by how much money you have, but wealth is counted by how much money knowledge you’ve got.

Well, almost everyone in this world is anguish because of money, they are figuring out how to make more money, to make a living or to live a better life. What they don’t know is that, it is incorrect to chase for money, they won’t get rich if they’re chasing for money. What they need to be rich is to chase for wealth, the money knowledge. That is why so many people are working for money, which won’t make them Millionaires. What you need is that to achieve wealth or your financial education, and use money to work for you, this is what the rich has been doing all the times, this is the reason the rich is getting richer and the poor is getting poorer.

Ok, this is all what I think about money. Maybe you’ve got different opinion about money, so let’s just bring it out and discuss here. Your comments are always welcome.

Handling Rejection (Part 2)

Add your comment

Ok, now you’re going to learn about how you can redefine rejection. First, you need to know how this feeling of fear are initiated. When we heard people said ‘NO’ to us, we will automatically attach to some sort of meaning to it. We will straight away think that we’re the cause, maybe we will said something like ‘yes, I know I’m not good enough’, ‘this proves that I’m not a good speaker’. But the actual situation is that the ‘NO’ has got nothing to do with us. It is just a neutral situation to which we attached meaning.

So, how are you going to change this? Actually it is very simple, you can do a simple self-affirmation for the next 30 days. You can keep telling yourself this:
‘I’m good enough. In fact, I’m great enough!’

Yes, this is it. Keep repeat this phrase 30 times every morning and it will instill deeply in your mind therefore you will become good enough. This will transform your life and your future positively. When people say ‘NO’ to us, it’s a bit egotistical to imagine that everyone we meet and everyone we know is passing judgement on us. Remember this, you’re not the center of everyone else’s universe, but you’re only the center of our own! Thus, do not take rejection personally, we can change it.

Well, some people might ask, what if somebody has rejected me? What if somebody say ‘NO’ to me? What should I do? It’s very easy, just ask why did they say ‘NO’ to you. Ask them why they reject your idea, what does it needs to make it to a ‘YES’. Only by doing so, you will improve. Do you really think that all the victors never been rejected before? Those who succeed in life generally has been rejected more than average people. But they look for the answer why did they get rejected, and improve their idea until they get a ‘YES’.

Dealing with rejection is like being a weightlifter. The more you deal with the weight of each rejection, the more muscle you build and the stronger you become. Soon enough, those rejections will mean nothing to you. You can therefore, terminate rejections! Falling into rejections can be a great immobilizer, most people will give up and back to their comfort zones. Comfort zones will not take you anywhere, although staying in comfort zone feels good. But comfort zone will not make your dreams come true and will not bring you the abundant life that you’re asking for. Then how can we get out of our comfort zone? Another easy task, whatever rejections you’ve suffered, whatever fears you’ve felt, just do this, take a deep breath, and continue on what you’re suppose to do.

Being rejected is not the end of the world. It is simply another step you have taken on the road to being accepted. Just think about Thomas Edison, Wright Brothers, Slyvester Stallone and Henry Ford, how much rejections they’ve face before? A lot more than ordinary people. In fact, the more you get rejected, the more success you are! And what do you remember of them? Only their successes. So you see, people will not remember about your failure, people will only remember your successes, your amazing results. Always keep this in mind :

SW SW SW SW - Some Won’t, Some will, So What, Some’s Wating.

Fear of rejection only exists in our minds. When someone rejects us we need to keep that rejection at arm’s length and remember that it has nothing to do with us personally. Don’t take the rejection to heart. There’s a plan, there’s always a plan. I’ve come to believe that rejection is really just a test to see how badly we really want what we say we want. By thinking logically and clearly, I believe you can redefine rejections, and you can achieve a ‘YES’ in the end.

Handling Rejection (Part 1)

Add your comment

Welcome back. Rejection, the feeling that everyone face before. Never in this world there’s some one that never been rejected before. In our daily lives, we will have to face rejection although we hate it. According to experts, one of the most common fears among human is rejection. The fear of rejection can stop you from keep going, it can cut brilliant people off at the knees, it can stop your daily progress.

However, the fear of rejection is not a physical thing, we can only feel it, we can’t touch it, we can grab it. You need to remember this, the fear of rejection only exist in our minds. So, have you asked yourself why are you letting this non-physical feeling control you? Why are you give this feeling the power to stole your dreams? The fearing of rejection is a habit, a bad one, the one that we don’t want to face. If it is a habit, then we can change it, we can change it with a good and healthy habit. But then, first we need to understand the concept of how this rejection works. For you to live the kind of life you want and to do what you were meant to do in this world, you need to dig deep into your fears and redefine rejection. You will have to make it less important, make it becomes smaller. And you will need to learn to stay focused and keep moving with momentum when facing with ‘NO’. Therefore, only then you can have a great gain of momentum towards the greater life you’ve always dreamed of.

Conquer Your Mental Roadblocks : Fear And Worry

Handling rejection

I know that everyone hates the feeling of being rejected, no one is confident about everything. In our lives, we’ve always got choices, as for here, you’ve got two choices, you can either let the fear of rejection conquer and control your lives, or you can choose to conquer and control rejection. It seems easy, but most people let rejection take control of their lives. What we will need to do is to push through fear and worry and do the things you wanted to do. And the best way to do is that you need to dig deep into your fears and redefine rejection.When analyzed, most fears shrink down to nothing. As light casts out darkness, confidence melts fear and banishes worry.

Let’s take an example here, Andy is afraid of public speaking, but his deep down in his mind, he got a burning desire to be a inspirational speaker. Everytime when he faces the crowd, he will freeze and start shivering. Well, now Andy has got only two choices, either he give up to be his favourite inspirational speaker and running away, or he can choose to conquer fear. Now Andy has choose to conquer the feeling of fear, so he can start asking himself (or yourself):

1. What is the worst that could happen?
If you were to speak in front of a crowd, what is the worst that could happen? They could laugh at you or think that you’re an idiot. You might stutter and forget what you’re suppose to say and get embarrassed. But let me tell you one thing, nobody will remember how worst you are once you’ve succeed. People will only think of your good thing, trust me. Think about Thomas Edison, he failed more than thousand times, but when you ask someone about Thomas Edison, people will only told you that he is a great inventor.

2. If the worst were to happen, could he live with it?
Oh well, sure you can live with it. Take it as you’re making jokes in front of the public. You won’t get killed you won’t die if the worst were to happen. So start thinking clearly, and you will banish the fear feeling.

3. If the worst were to happen, will you lose anything?
If the public laugh at you and think that you’re an idiot, or if you did get stucked and forgot what you supposed to say, will you lose anything? Not really, maybe your pride will hurt a little, but you’re not going to lose anything permanently. Maybe you will lose a little self-esteem temporarily, but if you really think of it clearly, if you have conquer the feeling of fear, you’re actually building up your self-esteem!

4. What is the best possible outcome?
For the case here, Andy could inspired thousands of people, he could motivates people to a better life. He could then hone his skill and grow more self-confident and therefore speaks more convincingly in the future. As for you, what will be the best outcome? You will becomes a Millionaire, staying in your 20,000 ft bungalow with a swimming pool in front of it, driving your dream car Honda Civic, and all your friends will feel so jealous of all these. Nice enough?

5. Compare the worst possible outcome with the best possible outcome.
If the worst result is that Andy stutter or forget a few things or even have people laugh at him, while the best outcome is that Andy inspires and motivates people to live a better life, and he will turns to a professional speaker, you will say that the best outcome far outweight the worst. Maybe you could think of it this way, if you could conquer fear then all of your dreams will come true, isn’t that your dreams come true is much more interesting? So what are fears? They’re nothing but just a feeling that lies in your mind.

6. Based on all the facts, what is your most likely outcome?
You will only get nervous get worry if you focus on yourself, but if you take it as you’re here to serve people, to help people, your nervousness will disappear. As for Andy, he could create a mental slide show of himself on stage, with all his facts, interesting points and stories, and see himself done the presentation successfully. Andy will do very well speaking, will expect as much, and will prepare in advance and practice to make this happen easily and effortlessly.

Franklin D. Roosevelt - I’ll do what I fear and fear will disappear

See, by analyzing your fears, you can discover amazing way to push through them. And you must remember this, the feeling of fear only exist in your mind. And you should know that your mind is the most powerful resource in you (read my previous post for more info about how to unleash the power of your mind - The Powerful Resource In You). Your mind is extraordinarily amazing, it can create a movie with more amazing special effects than any movies you’ve seen, by putting the fears aside and looking them in a logical way, you will discover that the monster under the bed isn’t that scary at all.
Next, let’s see how you can redefine rejection.

The Topics To Blog About

Add your comment

Hi, welcome to The Millionaire Secrets. I’ve been writing blog about how to be a Millionaire, I’ve talked about the Millionaire Mountains. And now, let us climb the Internet Mountain. Let’s start climbing this mountain with blogging. Since I’m also blogging now, so it is a good thing for me to learn from this topic as well. What you must know now is that, writing blogs is getting more and more popular nowadays, there are tons of blogs floating in the cyberspace. What is the benefit of blogging? In here, of course, the reason for you to blog is to generate profit! Make money from blogs!

Yes, I’ve seen people blogs and earn few thousands a month, if they can do this, so can you. Some people even make enough money from blogging and quit their job. Sounds funny right, earn money from writing blogs and quit your job, but this is the reality, whether you like it or not, you must accept it. This is a new generation, if you do things with the same old way, you going to be outdated and many people will earn from you. Be the blogger or reader, it is up to you to choose. If you don’t have a plan, you will fall into somebody’s plan. This is the world, the society of today. However, blogging is just a stream of income that can be generated from Internet.

So, let’s start blogging. But before that, you must know what to blog about. How to choose a topic to blog? This is the reason of this post, and here are some simple suggestions of what you can post about.

1. Choose a topic that interest you.
Well, you should know what your interests are right, just ask yourself what you really want and what you really like to do. If you like to rare dogs or fish, then you can blog something about it. Blog something that you’re good at also is a good way of blogging, basically, what you’re good at usually is due to because you like to do it. You can ask yourself this question, ‘will I still be writing on this topic after one year from now?’ If you answer is a No, then I suggest that you’d better find another topic to blog. Do not write about yourself if you want to make extra income from blogging, or else it will becomes a diary. Unless you’re a popular artist, then you can blog about yourself.

2. Choose a niche topic or narrow your focus.
Ok, lets say that you’ve choose to blog about the economy, but you must know that this topic is very hot and there are plenty of people writes about it already. After all, you don’t want to write something that everybody was also writing don’t you. So, what you can do is narrow down your topic to the economy of your country. Well, this still seems a large topic, you can still further narrow your focus, maybe you could do it this way, the traditional economy of your country. Now you’ve narrowed your topic. But then this is just an example, you can do this with your interested topics.

3. Popularity, competition, and future of your topics.
This is the last point you need to consider in choosing a perfect topic that suits you. To know the popularity of your topic, you need to understand the this, the things that are easily available are the things that are cheapest, and vice versa. Means you need to find a topic that still not very popular yet, don’t worry about the traffic, this is the Internet, we’re talking about billions of traffic which soon will increase to trillion. Then the competition, are your topics been chosen by a lot of people already? If so, then the competition of your topic will be higher. When talk about this, the concept of supply and demand is the main point again. If you choose a topic that has got plenty competitors out there, then the content of your blog will be crucial. And lastly, you can do some prediction of your topic, such as whether your topic will be popular in the future or your will shrink in the coming years. Although it is not easy to predict the future, but if you can do this right, then you’re swimming along with the current, the wave will help you swim faster, you’ll be a winner.

And these are the suggestions for you to choose a topic.
Happy blogging.

You Need to Adopt The Winner’s Mindset

Add your comment

Hi, welcome back to The Millionaire Secrets. So, you want to be a Millionaire? If yes, then great, we have the same goals. Share with me every secret that you’ve learn so far, do you mind? Back to today’s topic, but first have you ever figure out why there are some people who work easily, and he can be a Millionaire. But some other people work so hard and only earn few pennies a day. Are these who work less but earn more has got better luck than others? Are they much smarter than others? The answer is obviously a ‘NO‘. So what is the difference between? The mindset. Those who success in life and able to make big money are those who adopt the Millionaire Mindset. They have the winning mindset instead of giving up and adopt the victim’s mindset.

Winner Mindset

Most people go through life with the victim’s mindset and this prevents them from ever changing their financial situation. When they don’t get the results they want, victims tend to give themselves lots of excuses like ‘I’m born poor’, ‘I’m don’t have the luck’, ‘I’m not creative enough’, ‘I don’t have the experience’, and many other kinds of excuses. Victims also tend to blame other people except themselves. When you ask victims why they are not yet rich, they will say something like ‘my boss won’t give me a raise’, ‘the stock market caused me to lose everything’, ‘I don’t get any opportunities’. Familiar with all these excuses? Ever seen someone like this? And honestly, are you like this?

The problem is that when you are giving excuses and blame others, you are not controlling your life and your wealth, it was others who are controlling you. You will feel powerless to change In order to be a Millionaire, you need first to adopt the winner’s mindset, take 100% responsibility for every results in your life. When the economy is bad, winners will not blame the economy, they will take 100% responsibility, they told themselves that they’re not doing good enough, the sales are not enough, and their closing is not good enough.

That is why, they will have the control to change all this and be more successful in life. Let me give you an example here. A worker complains about his boss, saying that his boss is so stingy, not giving him a raise. So what will you say? You can tell him, ‘well take responsibility for yourself, if you want your boss to give a raise to you, you must be worthy for your boss to do so, work harder and create more values for your company’. Some people might say well, I’ve created more value and work harder, but still my boss not giving me a raise. I’ll say, ‘well take responsibility that although you’ve created more value but have you shown it to your boss?

If you’re not showing to your boss, guess what, it is your fault’. Then people will say well Shawn, I’ve created more value and I’ve also shown to my boss, guess what I’ll say, well take responsibility that you choose to stay and suffer, if you’ve created more value and you’ve shown it to your boss, but still your boss not giving you the fair salary, you can choose to quit your job. Because if you’ve done all these, the market outside will appreciate you more and pay you more. So that’s all about winner’s mindset. And if you wanted to be rich, you need to understand the game of money.

Remember, Money Is A Game, if you know how to play the game, then you will have lots of money in your hand, and I mean, lots of it. Ask Henry Ford this question, what will you do if I took away all your money? And guess what Henry Ford’s answer is? He said, give me 5 years and I will become as rich as now again. So you see, once you know the rule of the game, everything is easy for you.

So far I’ve posted a lot about the mindset and all the motivations for you to be rich. For me, the mind is more important, you need to have the mindset before starting your journey to be a Millionaire, because you will face a lot of challenges, but don’t you ever give up, only a loser will quit.

The Reason I Create This Blog

2 Comments

Hi, haven’t really introduce you about myself. This year, I’m 22, from Malaysia. I’m a Chinese. And I’m still a student, studying in University Sains Malaysia. Well, That’s roughly about who I am. Actually, there are few reasons why I create this blog. The first and the main reason why I create this blog is that I want to make money online. I believe with my constant action and my clear goals, I can be a Millionaire at the age of 28. Yes, there are still 6 more years for me to become a Millionaire. Do you think that I can achieve this? Yes, sure I can. With commitment and the momentum that keeps me going.

I’ve been eall thanks to Robert Kiyosaki, the first wealth book that I read about, Rich Dad Poor Dad. If not because of this book, I’m still a youngster who had got no dreams and target in life. I will becomes an average person, who works from 9am to 5pm. Everyday complaining that money is not enough. This is not the kind of life that I want. I wanted to be rich. I want to be a Millionaire. From then after I read Rich Dad Poor Dad, I started joining Network Marketing (MLM). At that time, I don’t even know what MLM is, all I know is that MLM is a business that can make me rich, make big money.

It’s been 3 years until now, in these 3 years, I’ve been motivated by all the leaders, wanted to make a fortune, but then failed in the end. I’ve switched a few MLM companies, still the result is the same. I thought that it was the MLM company’s fault that I’m not a Millionaire. However, the real failure is that I keep on finding for excuses, putting all the blames on other people. But until now, I’m still continue doing MLM. Although the income is a few, not much exposed to wealth creation at the age of 19, after I finished my form 6. This is , I will keep going on to make big money from it.

Besides that, the reason I create this blog is that I want to stay in motivated state. Everyday writing and talking about how to become rich, how to make more money, how to create Multiple Streams Of Income, will keep me in a motivated state. So far, I’m creating wealth in MLM, Internet and Stocks. For stocks, I’m still waiting for the time to come. For me, it is not the right time to invest now. As for MLM, I will keep going, and I won’t give up. And for making money through Internet, this is my favourite. Lately I’ve been busy making this blog, although there are many ways that we can create wealth from Internet, but blog is the easiest. It is only the matter of how long can you keep it going, and how much action you will take to improve it. Sounds easy, but I’m still learning.

I will keep on posting topics about how to create wealth, from the 5 Millionaire Mountains. They are: Internet, Paper Assets, MLM, Real Estate and Business. I will share everything that I know, my experiance and other people’s experiance (from books, seminars, audio program…) I hope that you will keep on supporting me and watch how I climb the Millionaire Mountains, I will conquer it.
Thanks. All the best to you.

The Exciting Truth About Your Dreams

Add your comment

Timing is a central issue when it comes to happiness. While many put their desires off until there is little time left to achieve them, others feel their time has already passed. They are trapped by the misconception that goals and dreams are achieved right out of the gates or not at all. They feel locked into a life that is far from what they had planned on creating, with the remainder of their days ripe with regret. Bob Newhart, considered to be one of the greatest comics of our time, spent years as an accountant. An accountant! Imagine where he would be today had he felt locked into a life that he wasn’t meant to live. Ray Kroc is another prime example of an individual following his heart at a later time in life. Until the age of 52, Kroc spent his time selling shake mixers to restaurants around the country. Then he made that life- altering trip to California for a meeting with the McDonald brothers.

At an age when most people feel their best days are behind them he created a restaurant empire that stretched around the globe. For every Bob Newhart or Ray Kroc who took a chance at a better life there are ten thousand who let their goals and dreams pass them by. The question is, which type of person or you? Bob Newhart and Ray Kroc knew what they wanted. They had a clear goal which made it possible for them to achieve great success. The problem is, most people don’t know what they want.

You Have Two Choices
We all have goals or ideas of what we’d like to do with our lives, but we all don’t achieve them. Many believe the right time passed us by many years ago. This common myth is behind millions of unfulfilled dreams and ambitions. What can you do to break free from its grip? What is the secret that helped Caroline, Fred, Bob, and Ray move past the idea that the ‘right time’ had passed? The power of now. It doesn’t matter how young or old you may be, you have right now to begin moving toward your goal. There is only one right time and one wrong time: now and later. Now. Right this instant. That’s the only time you know you have for sure. Make the most of it and do the things you were meant to do. Erase the myth that you’re too old and go for it. While this idea may be enough to get you started down the path toward your goals and dreams, there is a chance you’ll need another piece of vital information.

Founder Ray Kroc tested this cheese-topped grilled pineapple on a bun for Chicagoans who avoided eating meat on Fridays. But customers abstained. The company learned meatless didn’t have to mean wacky, and the next year a franchise owner came up with a tastier alternative for hamburger-free Fridays: the Fillet-O-Fish, now a McDonald’s classic.

Beat the myth of your limits, there are nothing can ever stop you. Just keep in mind of your dreams and take massive action and your dreams will come true. Life is beautiful because we’ve got dreams. Without dreams, we’re nothing but a walking undead. Dream about what you really want what you really like, then only wealth and money will follow. To be a MILLIONAIRE, you need to start from dreaming it first. Always remember your favorite modeling master, remember how Ray Kroc at such an old age break his myth and became rich. If he can do it, so can you! Grab more interesting articles from The Millionaire Secrets.

Write - or use your computer to print - one of your most important goals on a sheet of paper or card stock. Cut out in the size of a business card and keep it in your wallet or purse. For a longer-lasting card, use self-laminating sheets from your local office supply store.

3. Put your voice mail to use.
Have your wife or husband, children, or close friends call your home or cell phone and leave a message of hope, love, and support for the things you are trying to change about your life or goals you wish to accomplish. When times are tough, the perfect solution will be just a call away.

4. Connect your goal with your children.
Here’s one that you can really get creative with. Begin by writing your goal on a large sheet of paper with a big, bold marker. Then take a picture of your children or spouse holding the sign and hang the picture in the places where motivation is needed most. Tools in Action: A father wishing to quit smoking wrote his goal on a 3 x 5 foot sheet of paper and had his two kids hold it between them as he snapped a few pictures with his digital camera. He then taped the picture to the front of his pack of cigarettes. Connecting his goal with the love of his children gave him what he needed to stick to his goal day after day and become a proud ex-smoker.

5. Print out your favorite motivational quotes.
The right quotation at the right time can sometimes be all you need to trigger your motivation and take action. Instead of hoping this happens to you by chance, the tool below will make sure it happens whenever you want it to. Open your personal computer’s word processing program. Set the page orientation to landscape and add a classic border. Type in your favorite motivational quote in the center of the page and print onto a heavier stock of paper. Display wherever motivation is needed!

6. Schedule reminders with your computer or phone.
Think of one thing you can do, just a single action, that will bring you closer to reaching your goals. When you have it in mind, record it into your computer’s or cell phone’s calendar and set the alarm to go off at the time the action needs to be completed.

7. Bring a DVD to the office.
Can you think of a scene from a movie that you found moving or motivational? If so, don’t leave it at home! Using your computer’s DVD program or a portable DVD player, watch the scene at work - on your break - when you need that extra push in the right direction.

8. Bookmark your favorite inspirational Web sites.
It often happens that people stumble upon invaluable sources of information online and then never return after their initial visit, missing out on all of the new and inspiring resources to come. To make sure this doesn’t happen to you, bookmark the sites you find most motivating or inspiring.

9. Make use of your admiration.
Connecting with those whom you admire or respect is a quick and easy way to tap into your internal motivation at a moment’s notice. Find a picture - from an old photo album if a family member, online if a historical figure - and tape it up in the location where it will best serve its motivational purpose. Tools in Action: An author who found great inspiration in the writings of Longfellow found an image of him online, printed it out, and taped it to her laptop. When it was time to write, the inspiration she needed was never more than a glance away. With just a few minutes of your time invested, you can have handfuls of the most powerful and fast-acting motivation tools at your fingertips.
