Welcome to this article of success quotes, famous statements that will make you wiser!

The second one said, "Great opportunity here . . . natives don't wear shoes!"

I am using an all in one site building tool that is called Site Build It! (SBI) SBI enabled me to build a website that looks professional without having to know anything about website building from before.

When I first started to use SBI, 4 months ago, I had no idea on how to build a website. I started to read the handbook of SBI , and I thought "WOW!, I would have paid the....

Washington, D. C.
A tour guide was showing a tourist around Washington, D. C. The guide pointed out the place where George Washington supposedly threw a dollar across the Potomac River.

A dollar per point
A professor was giving a big test one day to his students. He handed out all of the tests and went back to his desk to wait. Once the test was over the students all handed the tests back in. The professor noticed that one of the students had attached a $100 bill to his test with a note saying "A dollar per point." The next class the professor handed the graded tests back out. This student got back his test, his test grade, and $64 change.

Self inquiry
Self inquiry
If you want to learn how to achieve total financial freedom,it will benefit you to ask yourself the following three questions:
1. What is my motivation for wanting to achieve total financial freedom?
2. Why is it so difficult for me to achieve it?
3. How can I make it easier?
TASK I
Write down all negative thoughts and associations concerning money, wealth and abundance.
Use some time and really let yourself feel and think and make sure you write it down. It's OK if you write things twice, just write what comes into your mind without judging it.
When you have written everything down, take a good look at all your negative thoughts and try to find out where they came from, and why you took them.
This is not to judge what has happened to you in the past. To be resentful and find someone to blame for your negative thought patterns will not bring you anywhere.
This is for you to become aware of how you are thinking about money and wealth. It is a first step in changing. You cannot jump over and skip this subject. It will just fire back on you at another time. Ideas and thoughts which get suppressed and blocked out will.........

Visualization
To focus on how to achieve total financial freedom, visualisation techniques can be very helpful. Not just once in a while imagining and dreaming of where you want to be, but making it a regular practise every day.
The techniques are simple and easy to follow; you only need some persistence to keep on doing them.
To start with; picture yourself where you really would like to be in your life. Picture yourself in an ideal situation. How would it look? Would you have a lot of money, a big house, and a nice car? Or maybe you have a specific goal that you would like to achieve, like a certain job in a certain company.
Maybe you even want to be the successful owner of your own business.
Make that picture very clear in your mind, and keep focusing on it. To help you keep your focus and to remind your self of your goal, you can make picture cards. Cut out pictures from magazines that represent your goals and stick them on a carton frame. Take a picture of yourself and include it on the same frame. This picture frame you hang on a place where you can see it often.
The same you can do with your goals in writing, write them on..........

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
I will now introduce you to the concept of EQ,- Emotional Intelligence
EQ is an important part of your road to success. You would not be able to experience different feelings like joy and satisfaction, without having any form of emotional intelligence. You would not be able to discriminate between good and bad feelings and why they occur.
Emotional intelligence is the ability of making conscious choices of thoughts, feelings, and actions when relating with yourself and others. It is essential in your relationships with your family, friends and colleagues.
According to the psychological definition , there is 5 different characteristics who defines Emotional Intelligence:
1. Self-awareness--knowing your emotions, recognizing feelings as they occur, and discriminating between them
2. Mood management--handling feelings so they're relevant to the current situation and you react appropriately
3. Self-motivation--"gathering up" your feelings and directing yourself towards a goal, despite self-doubt, inertia, and impulsiveness
4. Empathy--recognizing feelings in others and tuning into their verbal and nonverbal cues
5. Managing relationships--handling interpersonal interaction, conflict resolution, and negotiations

Develop a Prosperity Consciousness
Develop a Prosperity Consciousness
In this article Brian Tracy talks about the importance of developing a prosperity consciousness. He says that it is the starting point of all riches and that you need to develop this before you will be able to achieve prosperity in real life. He also introduces The Law of Expectation which says that all you expect eventually will happen. On the end he gives practical tips on how to develop a prosperity consciousness.
The starting point of all riches is the development of a prosperity consciousness. You must become a financial success in your thinking long before you achieve it in your reality.
Both poverty and riches are the result of a state of mind, and the most important single step you ever take on the road to wealth and financial independence is the decision to change your thinking, to impress into your mind an unshakable belief that you can and will achieve your financial goals. This must happen before............

He gives advice on how develop the two most important abilities of millionaires; the ability to delay gratification and the ability to think in a long term perspective.

Greatness Held Hostage
Greatness Held Hostage CD by Mike Litman
The "Greatness held hostage" CD is fantastic. I love listening to this CD; it gives an energy boost immediately. Mike Litman is a great motivator and is full of passion when he is sharing everything he has learned from all the great people he has met and interviewed. He is the bestselling author of the book; Conversations with Millionaires.
The main goal with the Free Mike Litman CD is to motivate you to change. He gives many practical tips on the CD, and is over and over saying; "Grab a pen and paper, write this down"
It is a very fast pace CD and if you are low on energy this CD will most likely inspire you to move. This is unless you are blocked or lazy, and want to sit and wait for things to happen to you. The sentence that was burned into my mind after listening to the CD was: "You don't have to get it right; you just have to get it going!"
If you sign up to get this free CD you will also get a downloadable version of the book; Conversations With Millionaires.
I have read the book and made an extensive review, if you like to read the review, go here. Review of Conversations With Millionaires
You also get another bonus and that is a downloadable interview with the famous Coach and Mentor Jim Rohn. If you have not heard of him before I can tell you as much as he was the mentor of Anthony Robbins and has over 40 years of experience in coaching.

Brian Tracy Audio Program Review
Review of Brian Tracy's Make a Million! CD.
Brian Tracy is a recognised teacher both Internationally and in America. He gives sales trainings and business coaching to many people worldwide. On this CD he explains how anyone who wants can become a millionaire.
He says that most millionaires started of broke and built their fortunes from nothing.
He shortly talks about his background from labouring jobs, via straight commission sales, to becoming an entrepreneur and building his own business. This is very inspiring and gives a good perspective on how much effort one has to put in to become financially independent.
According to him there are 7 million millionaires in the world today and this number is rapidly increasing. In America alone, there was at the turn of the last century, (1900) about 5000 millionaires. This number has increased 1000 times and was at the turn of this century (2000) 5 million millionaires.
Brian Tracy claims that the largest part of these millionaires are self made, and that the skills, systems and strategies they have can be learned by anyone. 74% of these millionaires are entrepreneurs, 10% are well paid employees (executives etc.), 10% are self employed (Doctors, Lawyers etc.), 5% are sales people, and 1% are others (rock stars, actors,authors etc).

Motivational Audio Program Reviews
Motivational Audio Program Reviews
In this article you will find reviews of different motivational audio programs. Currently there are only two reviews, but this section will continue to grow. I am a fan of audio programs myself and I have been using them a lot. A few years back I started to listen to self-help tapes and it was a great help.
You can use your time more effectively if you listen to audio programs. A great example is the time you spend in your car, or the time you are using to do simple tasks in your job. If you have the kind of work where you can let the radio on with music all day, you could consider playing a motivational or educational program instead.
The average person spends between 500 to 1000 hours in their car each year, which is the equivalent of 3 to 6 months of 40-hour work weeks. If you would use some of this time to educate yourself, you will have a great advantage in gaining financial freedom.
You get audio programs in different forms; MP3's, CD's and tapes. Personally my favorite is MP3's because they are instantly accessible. CD's and tapes needs to shipped, so that adds to the cost and takes time. But if you like to get CD's, the two CD's reviewed here you can get for free, as long as you pay the Shipping and Handling costs.

The little money bible
The little money bible by Stuart Wilde
The book by Stuart Wilde called "The little money bible" is a short little book, who gives you the essence of the money philosophy and teachings of Stuart Wilde. He has a lot of passion for the subject of money and he is controversial and untraditional.
I was participating in a seminar with him and I found the way he talks straight forward and humorous. He is also quite provoking, so if you have certain set ideas around money,his books will definitely shake these ideas up. He encourages people to be brave and not to conform to the Tick/Tack society.
Having made and lost a fortune, and made one again, he is someone who knows what he is talking about. The Little Money Bible covers the 10 laws of money and Abundance. It is a spiritual, psychological and practical book which.......
