Have you ever bought a book, a course or attended a seminar that promised you some drastic change in your life or business in the next 30 days, or 90 days?
You enthusiastically bought the book, attended the seminar or listened to all of the mp3s, and at the end of 30 or 90 days you found yourself in the exact same place as you were at the beginning.
What happened?
That’s the problem. Nothing happened because you did virtually nothing.
Success does not come magically to a select few.
No, it is not magic, it is not “destiny” in the sense that “it was meant to be” or “it was not meant to be”.
It is a result of your decisions, determination, discipline and dedication to your vision. In fact true success starts with who you are which is demonstrated by what you do!

I was close to a lovely German family in Mexico (many members are now waiting for us in heaven), and Gertrudes, the mother, would often say: “El interés tiene pies” (Interest has feet, or in other words, if you are REALLY interested in something you will ACT on it).
