How Many Times Do I Need To Say This...
Joseph Demasi

Success is the result of just 2 things:
1) The books you read
2) The people you hang around with.

If you take the average income of the 4 people you hang around with the most, you can rest assured that is approximately what your income will be- give or take. If you want to earn $100k a year- you need to associate with people that are earning over $100k annually. the same if you want to earn over $100k a month.

Geaorge Bush said it best - "You are either with us or against us" - that is the same attitude you need to take with your friends. You want to associate with Big Thinkers - the ones that look at the results not the problems along the way. Thomas Edison tried 10000 times to invent the light bulb and he finally got it right on the 10001 st try.

If your friend does not believe you will be successful - get another friend! You need people on your team close to you. Keep others at a distance so they will not destroy your dream. "Keep your eyes on the prize" - that is a great saying. There will always be struggles - that's life, there is no such thing as a smooth ride, there are bumps along the way.

Here is the real key to success: NEVER QUIT! Decide right now that you are going to do wahtever it takes to be successful, to get what it is you want. Whatever it takes means whatever it takes. Not what is convenient, or what feels good or is easy. Make a decision right now that you are willing to do whatever it takes to live your dreams or you might as well just quit now.

One of my favorite quotes "Don't wish it was easier, wish you were better" and it may take you a little while to get better so you can achieve the life of your dreams, but won't it be well worth it. Picture what you are doing this for, what is the real reason you want what you want. What will it be like when you have achieved it, how will you feel after that has finally happened.

Keep that picture in your mind- you will refer to it often...
