#1 Secret to Any Success is Having the Right Mindset

once you get it ..you understand it.. but if you don't get it.. the best explanations will rarely help..

assembling hamburgers at a fast food joint ..is only worth so much..if you want to make more money ..you need to get the skills to do more valuable things ..not stand around with a sign demanding higher minimum wage ..while the ceo's of the companies are looking at robots that can do your job ..

if you are going to make more money..you have to provide more value ..and a lot of people just don't get that ..

so the positive mindset involves the hard work of building skills that make you more valuable

Having the right mindset, has to do with everything in your life, not just in business. Not everyone is dealt the same cards, but its all about how to play yours.

My first online business was a success, not a hug success but it worked. I sold toys and gadgets on a free "geocities" page I designed when I was a junior in high school.. that was late 2002. The first week, I made no sales. At the time my aunt suggest I use paypal to accept credit card payments online. The next week, I made my first sale and I was excited and also scared ! I was nervous because I didn't want to get sued or anything crazy like that lol

Just like crack, they say that first hit is the best feeling in the world, then you are hooked wanting to experience that first hit again and again. Just like anything else you may experience and fall in love it the first time, a certain music, sport, hobby,etc.

My thing was entrepreneurship ! Ever since I made that first sale, my life has changed, my mindset changed, my eyes opened.... I was enlightened. And I wanted more!

I made sure I was legit, bank accounts, business registered , Inc, LLC etc. EIN, merchant accounts, web hosting, auto-responders..

So the next 5 years I was dabbling in testing different type of businesses, online, offline, etc even did some business opportunities. Those were my years of trial and error. Testing, making mistakes, failures, learning what happened and to try a new way to approach, tested, worked = success. And I didn't have to fail at inventing the light bulb 10,000 times like Thomas Edison .

Going through that trial and error era in my entrepreneurial career allowed me to learn the business through experience, be very cautious of scams and smoke mirror marketing techniques, learning the business models I wanted to use, and more own today. I also been introduced to a few MLM's and met with some folks, I immediate learned it was BS to me and not worth my time or energy getting involved when I could just launch my own MLM with in a month. lol Im about ownership and control of companies, and products I sell along with labeling and branding.

I didn't know any other entrepreneurs or internet marketers at the time when I first started out like very many people have it today. Then somehow I began doing research and found this guy named "Ewen Chia" today a top guru in the online marketing community . I have learned a lot from him the moment I received an email from his auto-responder back in 2004 . I remember showing a snapshot of his earning which shows "$7,000 in 2 days" Of course none of this will just instantly happen overnight without data, or any prior knowledge or experience .

You won't learn how to make money or be of some success overnight, just overnight. It has taken me 5-7 years on and off to learn how to crack the code to make money overnight !

2006 I cracked the money making code. At the time I was a serial entrepreneur, very versatile portfolio. from owner my own info products, SAAS systems, tea brands, supplements, skincares, retail brands, and even forex broker firm. oh and did a little affiliate marketing on the side.

Circumstances, market, competition, and some other things more or less beyond my control? The best answer for this is DON'T BE AFRAID IT!

Competition is something you should never stress to worry about. I look at competition as a good tool to get ideas to improve your own business, campaign, brand etc. Be creative and improve your image, marketing, and unique selling point/position. In the forex and stock market, I have made capital gains of $500k+ when the market hit rock bottom in 2008, I opened a retail store that year and didn't do so well. and learn why quickly when I closed it . Because things were moving slow and people weren't out shopping like they were, dollars weren't circulating. I remember invest in the stock market and forex then in McDonalds, AMEX, VISA, AMAZON, 3-4 years later. they shot through the roof and then I pulled out. I have my own trade strategies, not the typical invest and hold on for dear life for the rest of your life . lol

Remeber the world and the things that are moving in it may be beyond your control, but your LIFE is yours and your have FULL CONTROL of it.

I have never given up and always set goals, learn from my failures, always believed in myself, never been afraid to take smart risk with plan B's and C's. I've always have a vision, long term and short. The key to it all is mental and spiritual. For all of the business people, colleagues and friends I've met on my journal, they have all evolved the time I first met them and where they are in life now. This journey allows one to find them self

Don't me wrong, I didn't pray and expect my accomplishments to magically or mysteriously fall out of the sky.

...It happened because, I PUT. IN. THE. WORK DURING THE PERSEVERANCE

ha before i read this i was explain to Juan.. that the belief that you are not good enough..itself is not a limiting belief..unless you get into a negative mental tailspin

if you have the belief..i'm not good enough yet..but i am doing this this and this..and can soon start dooing this this and this..to get better..

and you have a system in place that tracks and records progress and a realistic expectation of progress ..

most millionaires have several business failures and took at least 10 years to make their first million ..

a lot of people seem to just look at the freaks and think they can get rich real fast ..and retire in 2-3 years ..

Nice. I definitely will.

By the way. I also teach business to friends in Vietnam , via in person, my website or through facebook chat. I go sometimes to visit friends and family. Da Nang & Saigon.

Ban biet!
