5 Extraordinary Tips To Live An Extraordinary Life

January 13th, 2012 by Shawn No comments »

Extraordinary means unusually great, something remarkable and it is not what normally done. If you have done something special that nobody else has done before, you are considered extraordinary. So do you want to live an extraordinary life? If you do, continue to read on…

In order for you to live an extraordinary life, you have to follow the footsteps of those extraordinary people. Learn their experience, think their thoughts, do just like they did and apply it into your own life.

And you are about to discover the 5 extraordinary tips that you can follow and make your life remarkable. Are you ready for it?

Below are the 5 extraordinary tips to live an extraordinary life…

1. Dare to change

You have to change in order for you to do it better, to produce better results and to improve. If you are earning $100,000 per year, you have to have the guts to change your current situation to improve your income to a greater height. If you do not dare to change, you will never improve.

A lot of people are not living their dreams simply because they resist change. The majority of us do not dare to change because we are afraid to venture out of our comfort zone. Staying in your comfort has nothing wrong; it is just that you will never create a different result. It is a common sense. If you continue to do what you do all the time, you will get back the same result each time.

This is why if you want to create something extraordinary, you must dare to change.

2. Do what most people hate to do

Let’s face it, most people are not living a remarkable life because they are not doing what they hate. In fact, most people are doing what is easy and what is convenient for them. Think about it, if you want to be an extraordinary salesman, you must make cold calls and go out to meet with your client. However, most sales people are not doing it.

The same goes for study. The majority of us do not like to go to school to read the text book and learn facts. But if you want to get good grades, you must make your decision to study and do revision.

It is hard to wake up at 6am in the morning to do meditation or to go for jogging. If you can do that consistently, you will be able to produce outstanding results in your life.

So think about it right now. Do what you hate and you will be the next extraordinary person.

3. Work on your goals everyday

Day and night, successful people are working toward their goals every day. They are consistently moving toward where they want in their lives each day. They know exactly what they want and they take action all the time.

So do you have a goal? Do you know what you want to achieve in your life and are you doing anything to accomplish it?

If you do not have a goal, set one right now. If you are not doing anything toward it, do something right away. It is when you focus your energy into your goals; you will be able to create an amazing life out of it.

You do not have to take big action step; you just need to take small and consistent action each day. As long as you are moving toward the right direction, you will eventually reach the destination that you want.

4. Practice thinking big all the time

Even if you know the secret to success, it does not mean that you will definitely achieve it. For example, if you give a cheese cake recipe to a few chefs, it does not mean that all of them are able to bake the perfect cake from the recipe. Some may bake the perfect ones, some may not.

So the key is in the person who bakes that cake. The same goes to success. Even if you have all the secrets, it does not mean that you can produce the exact same result.

So what makes people successful in life? The answer is the way we think. We are no different physically, but our thoughts are not the same. We think differently and therefore, we act differently. Thus, if you want to be extraordinary, you must start by adopting the thinking of extraordinary people.

One very important principle in thinking is that great people always think big. They think about all the great things that they can achieve in their lives and they think it really big. You must do the same if you want to be an extraordinary person in life.

5. Never ever give up on your dreams

What are your dreams? Do you want to live in a luxury bungalow that comes with a swimming pool? Do you want to drive sports car? Or do you wish to travel around the world and enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature?

Everyone has their own dreams and you must not give up on them. Your dreams may change along the way in life, but you must not abandon them and give up on them. Your dreams are what fuel you and motivate you.

Without dreams, you will live your life purposeless. Think about it, if you do not have a dream or goal in your life right now, why did you wake up in the morning? Well, maybe it is because you need to work. But why do you need to work? You work because of the salary and that’s it? Is there any other thing that you want in your life?

You will become a zombie and live your life aimlessly. This is why dreams are so important. So never ever give up on your dreams. You are meant to achieve big things in life, that is why you are here and are reading this article right now.

It is true that achieving your dreams may not be easy. If it is something that is easy to accomplish, why would you want to go for it in the first place? Remember, you dream big and you set your goals high. They are difficult and very challenging, that is why you set them as goals and go out to achieve them. If it is something easy to accomplish, why would you want to set them as goals?

So dream big and never give up on your dreams.

Who Have You Became Last Year?

January 10th, 2012 by Shawn No comments »

The late personal achievement legend and best-selling author Jim Rohn said, “Set a goal to become a millionaire not for the goal of being a millionaire but for what it requires of you to achieve it.”

As you set your goals for 2012, ask yourself, “Who do I have to become to achieve these goals?” I believe the answer to that question is your real reward with the goal only being the byproduct. In the past several years, as I trained for memory competitions, more than one person told me, “Don’t waste your time, you aren’t going to win.” But they didn’t see the same end result as I did. The final score wasn’t the biggest goal for me. The result, instead, was the person I became during my training leading up to the championship competitions.

As I set my goals for 2012, I’m reminded of Jim Rohn’s philosophy and ask myself, “Who do I have to become to achieve these goals?” The answer to that question excites me more than the goals!

Happy New Year to All!

Go for More This Week!

—Ron White

This is a very interesting saying that I came across just now. And it really makes me think deep about the meaning within, who have I became, what I have accomplished all these years and what had happened so far.

I believe that you will feel the same and think about your future, your past and your present after reading the saying from Ron White.

The majority of us set our goals to become a millionaire and to be financially free. There is nothing wrong in this; it is just that you have to always remember that the rewards that you get from chasing your goals are just by-products. What really matters is who you become along the way.

We often forget that it is who we are going to become in our journey of pursuing our dreams and our goals that are the real rewards. By going through the entire path, you will realize that you will eventually become a different person, regardless of whether you successfully accomplished your goals.

If your goal is to earn $100,000 last year and you accomplished it, you will become more confident and committed this year. You will definitely change, either positively or negatively.

If you failed to achieve your goal last year, do not give up and do not feel disappointed. Tell yourself to move on and you are going to make it this year. You have to tell yourself that although you did not accomplish what you want, but in the process of working on that goal, you have learned new things and become a better person compare to before.

As long as you learn something and never give up, you are not considered as a failure. Somehow you learned something and you changed, you move a little closer toward your goals and you now have more experience.

This is the most important reward that you get from taking action toward your dreams. You eventually change and become better.

What You Can Learn From Here

Think about last year, what have you accomplished and did you changed? Everything is constantly changing every day, the only thing that never changes is the theory claiming that everything is changing every day.

When you think back about last year and what you have done, do you feel proud or do you feel unsatisfied? Only you can answer this question.

If you have achieved your targets, you may feel great and satisfy. However, if you fail to accomplish what you have set, you may feel unsatisfied or disappointed and you might wish to turn back time. We all know that we cannot turn back the time, what we can do right now is to learn from our past. Learn from the previous years and decide now that we are not going to live another mediocre year this time.

Looking back on all the years can actually help you to better shape your life and plan for your future because you are creating pain that you do not wish to occur in your life. Basically, there are only 2 things that will motivate us, it is either the inspiration or the desperation.

So when you think about the pain, you are actually creating pain in your mind that you do not want to go through that kind of life anymore and you will put yourself in motivation to get away from those kinds of life. It is exactly the opposite for pleasure. When you think about becoming rich, living in luxury bungalow, driving sports car and etc, it is also another form of motivation that pull you toward your dreams.

You need to learn how to use both pain and pleasure to inspire and motivate you to achieve what you want in your life. This is why you must learn from your past. Now, this is a new year and it is a brand new beginning, so do not let another great year slip by. You can achieve a lot of what you want in just one year.

Whenever you feel unmotivated, just think about how you have lived your previous year and what have you accomplished so far. Do you want to make it better and improve your lifestyle? Do you want to bring your family overseas this year? Do you want to make $300,000 in this year? If you answer yes, then make sure you treat this year the best year ever. Work all the way out and put in 100% commitment to achieve all your dreams and your goals.

Thus, I wish you all the best in your journey to success and with Godspeed.

The 3 Easy And Simple Tips To Motivate Yourself

December 16th, 2011 by Shawn 1 comment »

A lot of times, it is not that you do not know what you want to accomplish in your life, it is that you do not have the energy and the motivation to do what is necessary to accomplish what you want. You know that you have to read more books and do more research; you know that you need to study the market, you know that you have to make more cold calls, but you just did not do it.

And the reason is that you do not have the drive to do it. When talking about drive and motivation, everyone will have the same problem. We are all human beings and we will feel tired and down from time to time. The key is to learn how to manage it and get through it.

Every one of us will feel like no lethargic and no energy to do what we supposed to do. First, we are not committed enough to our dreams and our goals. If we are 100% committed, we will do whatever it takes as if our lives are dependent on our success. Just like if I point a gun on your head, you will do whatever as I ask you to. When you have this kind of commitment, you will do whatever it takes regardless of whether you have the drive and motivation.

Besides that, we are human and we will feel down some times. Come on, even computers will have down time. We will fall sick and have no energy to move on. This is a very normal issue that every one of us will face in the future.

Other than that, it is because we are not passionate enough with what we supposed to do. When you are truly passionate with what you want to do, you will do it even if you feel tired. Just like playing golf. If you are passionate with it, you will wake up at 6am in the morning and get to the golf course even if it is cold out there.

These are the 3 main factors that will either provide us with the motivation and drive, or will keep us from taking action to achieve our goals. So how are we going to deal with the lack of motivation?

The 3 Easy And Simple Tips To Keep You Motivated

1. Read motivational and self-help books, or listen to the audio or watch the movie clips. This is very easy to do and easy to accomplish. It is self-explanatory and I do not have to discuss much about it here. Whenever you read a story about how a normal person who has gone through all the difficult times, but still able to make it through and create success in his life, you will feel motivated because you imagine that you are doing the same and achieving the same results.

This is why reading books, listening to audio or watching motivational clips can drive us. Those inspiring stories and words are actually describing us and make us feel like we are in their position.

So make sure you spend some time into reading these great materials everyday. You can spend 30 minutes or more to read books if you want to. After a few years, you will see the changes that this habit can bring you.

2. Take your time and talk to someone who shares the same dreams like yours and someone who is more successful than you. It is not to say that you cannot talk to those who are not as successful as you, but you have to understand that most extraordinary people who have done it, they will radiate positive energy and they are able to guide you with their own experience most of the time.

You just have to make sure you talk about things that are related to your dreams that you want to achieve. If you are going to meet up to talk about gossip, your time can be better spend somewhere else. You can try this out as simple as inviting these people to have a drink. Take a tea break and share with them your dreams and ask them to share their success stories with you.

Some people do not like to read, and if you are this type of people, this second tip will work great for you. It is about finding what works for you and make good use of it. It can be as easy as discussing or talking about how you can improve your sales with your colleagues or your sales team. You can also share your dreams with your close friends that you think will support and give you energy. However, make sure you do not share with those who will look down on your dreams and pull you down. You can choose to talk other topics with them, but not your dreams.

This second tip is very easy to implement. Most people are using it everyday, whether they are using it to inspire and motivate themselves to achieve what they want is another story. This technique is a double edged sword. So use it wisely and you will get energy from someone who is on the same boat.

3. Just do it. Yes, just do it mechanically without putting in any thought into your mind. Do not think about it and just do it like a robot. Once you get it started, you will feel the momentum coming and you will have the drive to continue to do it.

This is a very effective strategy and is guarantee working as long as you work on it. It is difficult to make cold calls, but if you can do it mechanically without thinking about it, after a few calls, you will feel that the energy comes to you and you will have the motivation to keep on calling. The same goes for every other action. You just have to initiate it and you will see the momentum bring out the energy.

These are the 3 simple tactics that you can try out anytime and at anywhere you want. You just have to try them and you will see how powerful they are.
