Networking works if you just don't quit - Inspiration is everywhere!

In Napoleon Hills book 'Think and Grow Rich" he talks about persistance. How many people do you know get so close to a goal and then give up?  When you are at that place where you feel like you can no longer do something, you are probably just inches from the prize, so how do you get enough energy to go the extra mile?

Inspiration is everywhere if you are willing to look for it and recognize it when you find it.  I have recently found some great sources of inspiration, they give me ideas and make me want to go again.  It is just like when you are drawing or painting, or working on whatever creative idea you are on, sometimes you need that little bit of light from another source to finish the project.

Being on a budget, look for the low cost or no cost, here are some places I look for inspiration.

This is a short piece with Zig Ziggler talking on attitude.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRMogDrHnMQ  Yes, it is from You Tube. There are many short clips of our favorite authors talking about different things and it costs nothing to listen!  You can type in a subject there and it will give you lots of videos that you can use for those short pick-me-ups.  Another source I frequent is a site called the Brave Hart Women. You join for free and she does short 10 minute panel discussions that are really good.  It is geared for women but men can also get insights from this site.  I also like to read short quotes from different sources, they can be a great jumping off place for ideas and inspiration. I like Brainy Quotes, but there are many other similar sites that do much the same thing. Just be open to new ideas, and look at the old one with a fresh eye and you will never be without inspiration. Don't give up, and you will always reach your goal.

So where do you get your inspiration?  Let me know, it may be a place someone else can use!

How to create real wealth and keep it!

Creating wealth starts from within. Most of us started with the advice to go to school, learn a trade or go to college, work hard and some day we would have success. Education and hard work, that is the ticket!  If you work hard and long, your ship will come in. But with the traditional job, trading time for money, very few have found real wealth, and those that got it before they were ready didn't hang on to it long.  Most lottery winners are just as broke just a few years down the road as they were when they won! What happened?

Education is important but that kind of education is for the mind, how about education for the spirit?  To create true wealth, it is important to know how to make yourself successful on the inside, otherwise when you do get the financial wealth you want, it is more likely that you will sabatoge yourself because you don't really think you deserve it. Just like our art starts from inside, building wealth needs to start from the inside. You need to feel wealthy in the moment, to feel it before you have it, and keep putting those positive thoughts and ideas into your mind so when you do get that financial freedom that you want, you will keep it.

Finding that kind of education isn't that hard. Great examples are all around you.  Books like Napolean Hill's "Think and Grow Rich",  The works of Jerry and Esther Hicks on the 'Law of Attraction", and groups that foster positive thinking can all help you get to where you want to go.

There is a group of people that come together several times a week to support each other in this quest. They help each other to find ways to get their minds to match their dreams so when the time is right they will keep their success.  They use the book 'Think and Grow Rich' by Napoleon Hill to cleanse their minds of all the negativity that most of us grow up with. Check out this link and see if this group can help get you ready to be finanacially free.
