Success Resources!

Success is not an accident. If you read good materials and work on improving
yourself, you will increase your chance of success by many folds. On the other
hand, if you put in garbage, negativity, etc., your chances are slim that you will
have much success at all. It takes effort and discipline to become the person
that God intended you to be. Read our latest article on what it takes to succeed.

The good news is that you can control your thoughts and your attitude. People
who have a positive outlook work on their attitude by putting positive things into
their mind…and then protect what they have carefully cultivated. When they
have negative thoughts, they do not meditate on them but catch the lies they
are hearing (and repeating to themselves over and over) and replace them with
what they want in their life – all the positives! As a Christian, I focus on what
God thinks about me.

This does not come naturally...you and I have to work at it every day. It’s
similar to a beautiful garden. No matter how gorgeous the flowers, it will be
attacked by weeds. The breathtaking beauty can be almost completely lost if
surrounded by a sea of overgrown weeds (which are usually more aggressive
about spreading and reproducing). No, a lovely garden (or attitude) is not left to
chance…it is intentionally planned, planted, watered and protected.

There are some awesome books that will help you maintain a positive and
successful attitude. I work on this area of my life all the time by reading self
affirmations. I listen to tapes and/or read books every day that fill my mind and
my heart with power and possibility.

So how much time should you dedicate to your attitude? You should work on it
every day.

I urge you to listen to a one-hour audio by Ellie Drake. She also talks about "the
law of attraction". See Ellie Drake Community below.

My favorite books that teach success principles are:
The Bible
This book gets my priorities straight and guarantees my future

The Purpose Driven Life
This books get my focus off myself

The Slight Edge (one of my favorites)
The Magic of thinking BIG
Think and Grow Rich
Success is a Choice
Secrets of a Millionaire Mind
These books discuss the essentials for success

How to win friends and influence people.
Working on your people and communication skills is essential to your success

Here is a great site www.FocusSociety.com which discusses the book "Think and
Grow Rich". You can even
download the audios.

Ellie Drake Community is a great source to improve yourself. She has a live call
every Monday night. She also, has many recorded calls. She is just awesome.
She's also got a great audio series (visit her site for more details).

You need to spend at least a couple of hours per week working on your
attitude. If you're having difficulty finding the time, some of these books are
available as an audio book. You can listen to them in the car.
