The Four D's of Financial Success

By: Brian Tracy

Start From Nothing and Become Financially Independent
More than eighty percent of self-made millionaires in America began with nothing or in many cases, less than nothing. I can certainly relate to that because when I was growing up and right into my early 30s, I never had any extra money with which to start a fortune. It seemed to me that there was always enough, if not more than enough bills, to absorb every penny I earned. I was always in debt.

Be Ready for Your Opportunity
And even if a great business opportunity did come along, I wouldn't have been able to do anything with it. As I began studying financial success and self-made millionaires, I noticed that almost everyone around me was in pretty much the same boat. The idea of becoming really wealthy was a distant dream with very little possibility of coming true. You may be in the same situation, with more bills than money or assets.

Look at the Numbers
The statistics are a little scary. Of 100 people who reach retirement age, according to insurance industry statistics, only one will be wealthy. Four out of the hundred will be financially independent; fifteen will have some savings put aside. And the other 80 will be dependent on pensions, still working or broke - this after a lifetime of well-paid work in the most affluent society in human history. Now why does this happen?

Imagine if you could become a millionaire today!
Your life would be easier and more fun. You could be taking more vacations, and spending the kind of time with your family that you really want.

Why People Retire Poor
There are two main reasons why people retire poor. First, they never decide to retire rich. They wish and hope and pray, but they never make a firm, unequivocal decision that they're going to do it. Second, even if they do decide to retire rich, they procrastinate until it's too late. They always have some good reason for putting it off.

Start With Desire and Decision
If you sincerely want to beat the odds, to achieve financial independence and retire wealthy, there are four critical steps that you must take, all starting with the letter D.

The first step is desire. You must want it badly enough to make an unshakable commitment and to be willing to make sacrifices. The second D is decision. You must make a decision right now to do whatever is necessary, to be willing to pay any price, go any distance, to achieve your goal.

Practice Determination and Discipline
The third D is determination, which is to keep at it until you succeed in spite of all the problems and obstacles you will experience. And the fourth D is discipline - the discipline to master yourself to develop the habits necessary for achieving financial independence.

Those are the four Ds. Desire, Decision, Determination and Discipline. And you can measure how successful you're going to be in the future by measuring how well you're doing in each of those on a scale of one to ten.

Action Exercises
Here are two things you can do immediately to put these ideas into action.

First, make a decision, right now, that you are going to be financially independent, no matter what obstacles you face in the short term. Then write it down, make a plan and start to work on it every single day.

Second, resolve in advance that you will persist in the face of every setback or obstacle you face. You will never give up. You will keep on moving forward until you finally achieve your goal.

Starting an online Business

Quite a lot of work is going on at OpportunityWorld (a company that i head at the moment). With the recent discovery that you can actually use software based technology to create online businesses, to the discovery that liteforex is the best Egold account option for people who are having problems with opening a dormicilliary account for their forex account.
Also at the moment, a colleague of mine is working on the best scalping software that is very useful on Liteforex (because they allow scalping). For those who don't know, scalping is when you try to catch 2-5 pips using a high lotsize at a go. We are already using strategic tester to backtest the performance of the EA.

Two products are on the go for now.......and they'll be reviewed until the end of first quarter in the new year. The first is a program we have called "Cashflowsuite", which is a means of starting an online business from scratch without any startup capital. The other is Letmedoyourwork which is dedicated to people who are finding it difficult to jumpstart their business due to their non-savvy status. Any interested participant should contact us via the above website links

New Testimoney Report:
After the creation of a forex adsense website, "Bee" ( not his real name) made 7 dollars today on his adsense account. And one surprise about this is that he hasn't even done any site promotion, save for his submission on search engines. We at OpportunityWorld will continue to monitor his earnings and write reports on here.

From my end here......I'll call it a day.

Google-Youtube...

Google is well known for their creative innovation.webmasters who are into adsense would have noticed another added feature where webmasters can make money via youtube.
This means that an average blogger can enhance their site with high-quality, relevant video content from youtube and also earn extra revenue along the way.
With this innovation Google can deliver videos based on categories , individual content providers or as well deliver videos based on your site content

I am just going to try these feature out and write my own review on it. I must say another big kudo's to google for such innovation.

Making Money online requires HardWork

Often times, i get a lot of mails from so many people, asking how possible it is to turn $20 into $1,000,000 within a space of six months. For some brief moment, i simply shake my head in self pity at peoples greed to earning more than 3100% on a small investment of money. While it is possible to invest in various MLMs and High Yield Investment Programs (HYIP) found online, it is also a point that one can lose everything overnight as these HYIP sites could possible close down whenever. However, there is still a fact that there are genuine ones out there, but finding them is another case study on its own.

When it comes to making money, i think the first and major criteria to be considered is hardwork. Hardwork is a prerequisite for making money as no online business can succeed without it.

Another major issues is what i termed "working smart". Working smart simply means doing the right thing at the right time in the right place. An average knowledgeable person should know as much as possible about their business. It gives an edge over other competitors as an unrivalled innovation makes a business to stand out.

Therefore with these two points, it is obvious that starting a business, either online or offline is not a bed of roses. However, hearing various success stories from other people as well can rejuvenate your flagging energy and give a hope that you can as well succeed in business.
