Secrets to Success

Peace and congratulations for making one of the wisest decisions of your entire life. It gives us great pleasure to welcome you to Secrets of Success. We can guarantee that from this moment on your life will never be the same. You will be amazed at how much wealth you will be capable of having in such a short period of time!

Please, leave the doubts and fears of the past. If you are doubtful, this will not work because you will not believe. We need you to believe every single word that you read no matter how hard, difficult, or simple it might sound. After you finish the journey, you can make all the decisions that you want, and you can form all the opinions that you desire. But before it is over, please believe! Let me ask you a question: If you were promised $5,000,000 to jump out of an airplane without a parachute, would you do it? If you answered “No” you answered wrong! Like the majority of the people, you made a decision before you had all the facts. Had you investigated further, you would have found out that the plane was on the ground. Do not let the greatest opportunity of your life pass you by because you were so eager to jump into conclusions before you got all the facts. Please, read this entire book before you form any opinions.

Ok, having said that; we now believe that you are ready to begin. We want you to follow exactly the instructions that you are about to read. Do not try to be your own guide because you will only become confused and more than likely not complete this small amount of reading which is also the reason we condensed this information into a small book. Now, let us be your guide throughout the entire book. We know what you are looking for and we sure know how you can get it. So, follow our instructions. The first thing that we want you to do is read the chapter “Foundations for Wealth.”

Foundations for Wealth

Where ever you find yourself is your starting point or foundation for success, in most cases we just need to change the perception of where we are, in other words stop looking at what we don’t have and recognize what we do have.

What seems like just a little while ago we accepted the thought that we really had to work hard to make money? We thought the more we worked, the more money we would make. But we realized that making money this way is the same as counterfeiting and would only keep us in a jail without bars. We were working like slaves and not seeing any satisfactory results. We, of course wondered why, because we were surely applying the time and the effort. But it was for someone else. We realized that we needed to make a change. For quite sometime we tried to find that special answer .We tried different things, but none of them worked. We were lost. Finally, we came close to giving up our dreams and continue living that ordinary life we were used to living. You know, that wake up, go to work, come home, have dinner, and go to bed sort of life. That kind of life that we’re very sure most is familiar. But no! We decided to give it one more chance. We would not quit that easily. So, we discussed what we needed to do to change our situation, instead of believing in everyone ideas of how to generate income, we concluded that we needed to believe in ourselves and what was promised to all of us, complete success because God does not create failures, we either accept failure as our lot or not. So that is what we did.

After what now seems, a short period of intense study and discussion, we concluded, based on our research, that the majority of the extremely wealthy people did not work that hard. Also, the majority of them not only had enough money to buy another planet, but they also have the time and the freedom to enjoy it and the majority were very generous in giving of their time and wealth. You have to search to find the good, because most of the time only the bad is magnified. Now this generous giving of time and wealth is what we consider true wealth, and that is exactly what secrets of Success is all about. The ability to have free time and be able to do what you choose. We know that is where the majority of the people get confused on the definition of wealth. Wealth is not just money. Wealth is also the ability to spend it in the way it is supposed to be spent, the way you choose. Our purpose is to turn you into a “true” wealthy person; we want you to have great amounts of money, and great amounts of free time to think and enjoy it.

Now, the first step to accomplish this is the one that a lot of people do not pay that much attention to, yet it is one of the most important aspects of true wealth. We are talking about the mental aspect of building true wealth. Hang on! We know you are tired of listening to the same psychology song over and over. Don’t worry! The mental aspect of true wealth is actually very simple and easy to apply. It is actually a list of steps that you have to “get into your mind” before we really get into the “secrets” that we have been talking about so much. Really these secrets, once we share them, you will realize that they are not secrets at all but truths that we fail to believe and use consistently. Once you know all these steps and are ready to apply them, then you will really be ready to start the journey.

Please! Do not jump this section thinking that you do not need any mental preparation. It is very important! Remember, follow our instructions and the rest is easy.

The three “keys” to success are:

• Timing: Being at the right place at the right time. (The Time Is Now.)
• Having Vision: Seeing potential in what is being presented. Having the ability to see success. (Belief, and Trust)
• Taking Action: Going one step further than the rest. Doing instead of saying. (Do It Now)

These three “keys” are essential to recognize success, and to make it a part of your life. Now, once you have made the decision to “Take Action,” your next task is to follow what we express as “Steps to Success.” As said before, they are simple, but extremely important if your purpose is to achieve true wealth.

By the way they are nothing you haven’t heard before.

Here they go:

Create a plan

It is essential to know what you are going to do before you do it. Doesn’t it make sense? Yes, it makes a lot of sense, yet so many people every day do things not knowing what they are doing. They start building a house without a firm foundation. Our personal research and study of some of the richest and most successful personalities in the world and what they did to become so successful, we found one thing that was consistent in their answers, and that was they all had an effective plan of action. In other words, they knew everything they had to do to get what they wanted and what they didn’t know they were willing to learn or at the very least, allow someone who knew, to do.

Set Deadlines to Accomplish What You Plan

Besides creating a plan, it is also very important to set deadlines to accomplish each one of your goals described in your plan. In other words, you should always assign final dates to the different goals that you have and not let anything interfere in the completion of these goals by such dates. This will allow you to avoid the mental “disease” that every human being possesses: Laziness!!! Yes, that’s right. Laziness is a mental “disease” that affects even the successful in the world. This is why setting deadlines is so important. It is extremely important that you complete them and accomplish them on time. This will determine your degrees of success.

Do Not Waste Time

It is important that from this moment on you start accounting for your time because time equates to money and money equates to time, when you lose one you lose the other. You should consider every day as if it was the last day of your life and also as if you are going to live forever. Why? Well, if you do this, you would not want to waste any time on things that are not worth spending time on. Do you get our point? Each and every minute of your life should be used in the wisest way possible. Very often we hear people saying that they have no time to do anything other than work and pay the bills. When we hear something like this, we know for sure that they are wasting their time. How do we know this? Very simple; we used to be like them. We have worked 16 – 20 hours a day. We did not have any time to do anything other than work, pay bills (very little of that), sleep, and have a little family time once in a while. Nobody would think that anyone working this amount of time could be wasting time. Neither did we. But in reality we were. We are sure that you too are wasting your time. Don’t worry; this is the very reason you are reading this book.

Have Minimal Contact with Negative People

Shut them out of your life. There is nothing more frustrating than to have a conversation with negative people. They have a negative response to everything said. Fortunately, the best way to deal with them is not to deal with them at all. From now on, whenever you notice any negativity in anybody you speak with, get away or simply explain that you are sorry but you no longer have time for any further conversation. You do not have to resort to harsh and rude, but you must be firm and direct. Negative people can and will bring you down only by talking to you. Be willing to help if you can, but understand without doubt that in most cases you can’t. Have you ever bought something that you thought was the best, and some friend of yours told you that it looked really bad, so you didn’t wear it anymore or you felt some kind of shame when you did? This is just a minor example of how negative people can influence you. Imagine what they could do if you let them influence you in other aspects of your life. From now on, do not let negative people get in your way to success. Shut them out!

Stop Listening to People Unless They are Doing Better Than You

There is a story of about someone who wanted to get involved in the stock market, but didn’t know anything about it and decided to consult a financial advisor whose number he found in a local newspaper. After talking for short while he got really excited! The financial advisor said that he knew a way of getting $500,000 with just a $125 investment in stocks, but it would cost $2,000 for him to reveal that secret. Anyway, he decided to give it a try. He tried several times what he was told but it did not work at all. A few months later, he went back to the advisor’s office. As soon as he got there, he found that the office was closed and the financial advisor had actually filed bankruptcy! Now this can happen to anyone, but what we didn’t tell you is that on first meeting the Financial Advisor he noticed the shabby office and the ill fitting clothing of the Advisor and the inability of the Financial Advisor to talk in great detail about anything financial, So in reality all appropriate signs were working he just refused to adhere.

From now on, do not listen to anybody unless they are doing better than you! You can get their opinion, you can hear what they are saying, but you cannot let them influence you. On the other hand, if they are doing better than you, then they probably know a little bit more, they have a little bit better attitude, and they probably have a little more experience. So remember, from now on; do not listen to anybody unless they are doing better than you!Spiritually, Mentally, Physically and Morally. You will get rid of a lot of problems.

So dream big!! So dream big!

Have Fun

Enjoy what you do. The probabilities are that right now you do not enjoy what you are doing to make a living. To us, that is understandable because we do not believe in working for a living; we believe in living to work for the fun of working. Does that sound crazy? We are sure it does. Let us explain it to you. We have worked for a living. We hated it of course, but we felt we had to do it otherwise we were not going to have any food on the table. Today, we live to work for the fun of working.

Sure there are other reasons other than fun (reasons like recognition), but to be honest, if there is no fun, you shouldn’t work at all. We are very sure that once you stop working for a living and start living to work you will realize what we’re talking about. Of course to be working for the fun of working, you need to be doing something that you enjoy doing. This is where the “Journey 2 Success” comes into play. You will soon learn that work can actually be fun! Also, before going to the next step. You must have fun in life, it may sound silly, but if you make life a game, you will have fun at it. If you think of life the same way you would think of a card game or a tennis match, you will have great fun at it. We guarantee it! But you have to work at it.

We know that most people are used to the hard life, and the long hours of work. This is why this whole idea of having fun may sound crazy to you. Again, do not worry! Once you start experiencing the easy part of life and less hours of work per week, you will surely realize what having fun in life is all about. If you could do anything you wanted and money was not an issue, what would that something be, now if you can’t thing of anything you are what we call critically ill and need immediate attention.

Have a Good Attitude

A good attitude is literally worth a billion dollars. Success is not determined by how many hours spent working but how you spend the hours working. You should have a good attitude towards anything that you do in life, even towards the things that go wrong. Yes, a good attitude even towards your mistakes. We know you have been told that you should learn from your mistakes. Have you been told this? Or at least, have you heard this? Well, it’s very true. And this is true to anybody in the world.

Let us explain something to you. On your way to true wealth, it is very likely that you will make some decisions that at the time may seem to be the worst thing you could have ever done. But who hasn’t? We all have; we are all creatures of the creator; now if we understand that one factor our attitude can’t help but to serve us in the highest form, because we can truly learn from all our decisions if we maintain a good attitude. Personally, we make decisions (good, bad and indifferent) everyday, but if our attitude is good, they do affect us at all. What we must do is to make a lot more accurate decisions than inaccurate decisions, and you can’t do this unless you believe in yourself and when this happens, you will literally feel like you have done everything perfectly even though you may have made a few inaccurate decisions. Once you have this kind of attitude towards life you will notice the change! This is why we urge you to have a good attitude. But do not start tomorrow, or the day after; start right now!

Take Care of Your Health

We are sure you realize how important your health is. Without it, having all the money in the world would be worthless because you will not be able to enjoy it. We have heard so many stories of people who work so hard to accumulate money, and once they become wealthy, they die of a heart attack, or cancer, or are condemned to live in a hospital for the rest of their lives. This is not what you want, nor what we want for you. As said before, true wealth is about having all the wealth that you could possibly want in a lifetime along with the time to enjoy it. This is why you should take care of yourself. Do healthy activities; exercise; eat healthy food (still working on that one). We know that you probably do not have the time right now to do all these activities, but hopefully soon you will have it. When you do, please take care of yourself. We do not know each other personally, but believe us, the last thing that we want to happen to you or anyone in the world is to get harmed. This is why we urge you to take care of your health and the health of your loved ones.

Stop Thinking Job

Most of us were taught as kids that the rule in life is to have a job. Most of us go to school, then we go to a university or college, we get a degree, and finally we get a job for the rest of our lives (others simply jump from school straight to a job). Are you one of these people? Probably. Do you think this is the right way to live life? If you say yes, you are wrong! Life is not about a job. There is no way you are ever going to be truly happy with a job; we do not care how good it is. We are sure of this because you cannot be happy when you are working for someone else; you cannot be happy when you have to get to your office or place of work every day at 8 o’clock in the morning or otherwise you will get fired; you cannot be happy when you have to ask your superior for permission to take a week off. We mean, what kind of life is this? Where is the freedom? Where is the happiness?

We have to get you out of this way of thinking and living. Believe without a doubt, you will not find true wealth with any kind of job. The only way you will ever find true wealth is if you are the owner and judge of your actions, and this is only achieved when you become the owner of your own business. Stop! I know what you are thinking. You are probably saying: “I need a lot of money and time to have my own business.” Relax! The kind of business that we are talking about is not that kind of business that you are used to. It is actually very different and revolutionary. It is a renewed concept that you probably have heard before, just haven’t believed. As I have been saying, you will have the opportunity to make as much as you can believe you are worth. But we are not going to get into details right now because we going to tell and teach you in the upcoming chapters everything you need to know about it. For now, I just want you to stop thinking job! What I will do, is give you a hint that’s based on something I “m sure your parents told you over and over again, that is, mind your own business!You want to be able to go where you want when you want to; you want to be able to work wherever and whenever you feel like working; you want to have the freedom to decide what to do for the rest of your life. There is no way you can do all this if you are stuck to a job. We guarantee it. Therefore, from now on: stop thinking job!

Do For Others

Even when it seems as though you don”t have enough for yourself, do for others. We decided to leave this “step to success” for last not because it is the least important, but because it is the most important of them all and we wanted to be the last so as to hold in your memory. When you help other people, you feel good about yourself. Generally, right after you do something for somebody else (it does not matter what it is) and your help is actually effective, you get a feeling of satisfaction and completion almost the same to that feeling that you get when you solve one of your own problems. We are not saying this to just sound good or to impress you. No! That is not our intention at all. We are telling you this to let you know that in order to be able to have income economically and be very wealthy, you do not have to be stingy and self-centered. See, some people believe that to become wealthy you have to keep every dollar that you earn. They say that the selfish and tight-handed people are the only ones with the capacity to become rich because they only care about themselves and no one else. Well, this might certainly apply to some wealthy people. We want deny that.
But we assure you that the vast majority of them are not happy at all. They are probably grouchy and mad about life. We can tell you for sure that they don’t know what true wealth is all about. You do not want to be that way, do you? Of course not! You want to do for others.

And when we say do for others; we are not just talking in terms of money or possessions. Doing for others could be as simple as helping your neighbor fix his car, or giving a hand to a friend of yours who is moving to a new apartment. Simple things like these could make a great difference in your life. We can assure you that your life will be 10 times better. Let us express to you our reason for helping you. Our reason for helping you is to get recognition, but recognition is not the only reason, we actually have three more reasons. The first is that we want to help you because, as we’ve said before, we have fun doing so. The second reason is simple: by helping you, we help our self along the way! The third and final reason is because we truly want to see you succeed.
And we mean that.

We would like for you to start making $5,000, or $30,000 a week. The more the better! That would make us feel really good. Only knowing that something we said or did helped you earn that kind of income would give us great satisfaction. We want you to keep this in mind throughout the whole book. And even though we may not know each other personally, we want you to know that in us you have found good, honest, and sincere friends.

Please, come back to these steps whenever you feel like you need some guidance and strength. The more you read them and understand them, the more they will become a part of your every day life. Congratulations! You have finished “The Ten Steps to Success.” You are now prepared for what you have been waiting for since the beginning of the book. You are now ready to start the journey of your life. You are ready forSecrets of Success!

The Secrets

This is it. This is the moment you have been waiting for. What we now reveal in this chapter is what we believe and know to be the most amazing, simple, easy, and fast way to earn income in the world! We want you to pay attention to every single detail, and if something is not clear to you, please go back and read it again. It is very important that you understand everything; that will be the key to your success. Understand that there may be a lot of concepts and ideas that you may not be used to. This is why we want you to remember what we told you in the beginning of the book: Believe! Please, leave your skepticism behind. You need to believe what we tell you in order for you to understand. Remember that we want you to succeed!

Ok, let us begin. You, we hope, already know from what we told you in the previous chapter that a job is not the way to become wealthy. With a job you have no freedom and no time to do the things that you want to do when you want to do them. Also, another important point that we have not talked about yet is that with a job you get paid a salary. And what is a salary? A salary is simply an amount of money that is given to you for your time spent in that particular job. In other words, you get paid by the hour. Now, do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing? If your answer is “a bad thing,” you are right! Of course it is a bad thing. When you get paid by the hour you are limiting your time and effort to a certain amount of income and nothing more. You are basically getting paid for your efforts. You do not want to get paid for your efforts. The idea is to get paid when you are not making any effort!

The idea is to get paid when you are on vacation; or as my Wife always say, when you are sleeping; or simply when you are doing nothing but enjoying life. But how do you do this? Well, you have to find a way to use your intelligence and the efforts from other sources rather than yours. I know it is confusing. But have you ever heard the term combined efforts, well that’s what we are talking about so don’t worry! We’re about to explain everything to you. For now, we just want you to understand that a job is not what you should be looking to do. As we mentioned to you in the previous chapter, the way to achieve true wealth is only possible when you become the owner of your business. In the next paragraphs we are going to explain everything about the kind of business that we are talking about.

Simply Secrets of Success

“Every human being has been “born rich;” it’s just that most are temporarily short of money!”

What you will learn in these following pages and what you will accomplish if you apply this simple but powerful truism:

• What money is and how you can attract more of it;
• The role of faith in your success;
• How to build prosperous images in your mind that translate into magnificent results in your life;
• The Law of Attraction – why some people keep attracting negative results and others always seem to attract positive results
• The Powerful Law of Achievement – why you must release the old to make room for the new

APPLICATION NECESSARY

Money is an Idea that exists to provide a medium of exchange of products, goods and services. Money will not come to confusion. It comes to clarity. If you are not clear and focused on what you want, you want get it?

Example:

You can’t purchase what you can’t describe! A successful happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes. Dream big dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become or come to be! The longer we live the more we realize how important it is that we have a big dream in our life. Dreams are what cause us to jump out of bed in the morning instead of waking with anxiety or, even worse, apathy for the day ahead. When we don’t have a dream in front of us it’s easy to find fault with everything and self-pity comes ever so easily. There’s an easy explanation for why we’re not at our best when we don’t have a dream – we were created to dream.

Dream Big Because Your Dreams Equals Your Vision!

The Proverbs writer tells us “without a vision the people perish. If you don’t have a dream, how are you going to make a dream come true? So why is it so hard for some of us to dream? Or, why is it so tough to believe that our dream can come true? Perhaps for some of us it’s because we were programmed to “not get our hopes up to high.” While this was told to “protect” us, it had the opposite effect. So how do we start dreaming? Or how do we dream bigger? By changing our thoughts of course. A dream is nothing more than a thought or a series of thoughts.

Your circumstances may be unpleasant, but they shall not remain so if you just perceive a belief (a dream) have strong faith and strive to reach it. You cannot build and travel within and stand still without.” The Greatest Return on Investment (ROI) is What You Invest in Yourself! The only work you have to do is to work on yourself, not a job just old-fashioned work. You must make it work for yourself.

Faith and Fear

When we spend inordinate amounts of time fearing some thing or an event in the future many times that which we fear comes upon us. When it does, we wring our hands in despair and wonder why it had to happen to us, when in reality, we are responsible for our troubles.

The process begins first with a thought of doubt, which causes an emotion of fear, which manifests itself physically as anxiety. Anxiety robs us of our power, our energy and our purpose. Severe anxiety can even undermine our health. And it’s all brought on by a thought of doubt.

Three things that will help you conquer doubt.

First, change your mind about the doubt, and keep it changed. If you have a doubt about whether you’re going to have enough money to make it to the end of the month, change your mind about it. Whenever the doubt creeps in, affirm to yourself “You always find a way to have enough of what you need

Dream Big

“If you will change your mind concerning anything and absolutely keep it changed, that thing must and will change too. It is the keeping up of the change in thought that is difficult. It calls for vigilance and determination.”

The second thing that overcomes fear and doubt is action. “Do the thing you fear and fear will disappear” is more than a nice rhyming aphorism. It’s some simple wisdom that always works!

And the third and most important thing to overcoming doubt and fear is Faith. Fear and Faith are directly opposite views of the future and they cannot co-exist. Our Faith is in a Creator who has given us dominion over all things. Your Faith may be elsewhere, but know this; faith and fear cannot be present at the same time.

Now we know what you’re saying, is this all it is to this? The answer is yes.

Remember, you must change within before it is recognized by others.
