For my last post here in 2009, I want to go beyond Internet marketing and delve into something that can make every part of your life better in 2010 – your attitude towards business, success, people and life itself!

How often have you heard someone say “Must be nice to be rich’, ‘That’s easy for him to say, with all his money’, ‘It’s easy for her – she’s famous’ or ‘If I had his money, I’d…’ You’ve probably used one or more of these, or something similar, within just this last year, haven’t you?

Whether you realize it or not, you’re not belittling them – you’re putting yourself down and re-enforcing a negative self-image of yourself. Look over those quotes again – can you see that they create an ‘us vs. them’ scenario with you on the losing end? It’s in small, subtle ways like those that we sabotage ourselves all too often – but we CAN fix that with a simple attitude change.

Let go of limits, forget circumstances and just envision your life as you wish it was right now. How would you spend your day? Would you work, run our own business, wheel and deal, or be enjoying retirement? What would you be doing to help others? What would the effects be from your wealth and power – on you, your friends and society in general?

Now hang on to that image of yourself – it’s not a fairytale version of you, it’s the as-yet unrealized reality of you.

Suddenly ‘must be nice…’ becomes ‘it’ll be so nice when…’ and ‘if I had his money’ becomes ‘when I have that much I’ll…’

Most importantly, hang on to your answers to those last two questions – THAT’S where true, lasting motivation can be derived to help you realize your desired self – because it’s a tough haul to get to those lofty levels and you probably won’t stick it out just for yourself – we’re all just too good at settling for less. It’s those we can help and the wrongs we can right that we won’t give up on, that will help us stick with it through thick and thin.

Well, the ball’s about to drop to kick off the new decade here, so I wish you nothing but Health, Wealth and Prosperity throughout it… Now go after them with gusto!
