   Eight things to.  remember and encourage you to read and succeed on your JOURNEY 

 1.
 Desire and Believe
Believe you deserve and can achieve more
Patience and Trust

 2.
 Cultivating Spirit
Work on cultivating a spirit of patience and learn how to trust the process. 

 3.
Understand
Understand that everything in life has a gestation period.

 4.
Growth
Think of your progress as if it were a plant: the seeds are growing beneath the soil even though you can’t immediately see any shoots above the soil. 

 5.
 Savor and Enjoy
Savor and enjoy the journey just as much as you look forward to getting to your destination!

 6.
 Persist and Persevere
Persist, persist, persist, until you succeed. Be prepared for the inevitable ups and downs and weather them. Believe and know that you have already won, and it’s just a matter of time for your vision to become a reality.

 7.
 Give and Assist
Give back to fellow travelers who are also on their paths to success. Don’t wait until the end of your journey; start TODAY! Trust that your good deeds will come back to you. 

 8.
 Give and it will be Given
Remember these wise words, "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Luke 6:38

After you have your list of goals written down, carefully examine 
where you are right now in terms of your goal. You need to know your 
current position in order to plot the most advantageous & direct course to 
your destination. With a clear starting point, you can then head in the 
right direction. Making a plan is much like mapping your route for a road 
trip; if you have no idea where you are, there is no way to navigate to your 
destination.
Once you have an idea where you currently stand, you have to know
what you need to do to accomplish your goal. Here are some questions to 
facilitate this process:

Be prepared to learn and never stop learning! Studies have shown 
that great achievers are constantly learning, and they tend to have an 
insatiable desire for knowledge. You do not need to physically go back to 
college to learn as there are now various channels to do so. Often, what 
you need to succeed personally or financially is not learnt in a university 
degree! Search for personal and financial development training programs, 
and equip yourself with the knowledge and tools you will need to become 
successful. Search the internet, find the best learning programs, read 
books – just learn, learn and learn. Invest a little in educating yourself as 
this will help you achieve your goals.
“If you are not investing in personal development, you may be 
limiting your true potential.”
*********************************
It was though in the beginning, but it gets easier as the days went by, 
and when I started to see results.

One of the biggest issues regarding setting goals is to keep them at a 
high level. We all want to accomplish things in life. As mentioned earlier,
setting goals that are too general is going to make it difficult to accomplish 
them. It’s also going to be difficult to measure how you are doing. 
Therefore, the third step in goal setting is to break big goals into chunks.
Think of the chunks as action items. These actions are measurable 
units that you put to milestones. For instance, instead of having a general 
goal statement as “Increase sales 25% by the end of the fiscal year without 
increasing advertising spending” which might seem like a monumental 
task, break it down into smaller detailed results

steps in a way that holds you accountable. Otherwise, they won’t get 
accomplished.
Write your action steps down on paper, together with the list of goals 
you prepared earlier. This is now your dream board. Make sure it is put it 
in a place where you can view it every single day. It’s fine to record them 
electronically as well, although some people find it difficult to keep both 
the paper version and electronic version in sync. It’s personal preference. 
If you feel you can succeed with just one or the other, that is the way to go.
When you break your goals down into action steps and find they are 
not within your ability or skill set to accomplish within the specified 
periods, rework them until you find the right mix of actions. Making the 
goals and actions too difficult will set yourself up for frustration when not 
being able to accomplish them. Goal steps should be positive and not used 
to list obstacles that must be overcome which focuses on the negative. 
Negativity can kill motivation but there is power in positive thinking.
Although defining goals is important, creating action items related 
to those goals is the key to making them a reality. It is much easier to
perform smaller chunks of work than it is to wing it towards whatever goal 
you are striving for. Furthermore, steps also allow for tracking of progress 
towards the goal. 
“A Dream is just a Dream. 
A Goal is a Dream with a Plan and a 
Deadline”

Reinforcement in any manner is a powerful tool for changing 
yourself. Therefore, it follows that incorporating daily success mantras 
will help you succeed in achieving your goals. The brain reacts to 
consistent stimuli and by having a set of success mantras on a daily basis, 
you will train your brain.
Mantras, or what many would refer to as affirmations, are sayings 
or phrases that you repeat to yourself so that they become part of you. You 
can say them during meditation or throughout your day. Whichever way 
you choose, make sure you recite the affirmations out loud. This is because 
you use more of your senses when doing so. If you simply repeat them 
inside your head, your ears won’t hear them, and your mouth won’t speak 
them. 
By engaging more of your senses, your brain will capture and 
process the mantras quicker.

This type of positive self-reinforcement works. People often try 
them for a couple of days or weeks and then pass them off as not working. 
It takes about 30 days for them to start sinking in. Once they begin 
working, continue with them daily for even better results.
Some people like to use the same set of mantras each day while 
others will use one success mantra and change it every day for the 30-day 
period. You may also find a different set that works better for you. How 
you decide to do it is not as important as being consistent. That is the key 
to making this work.
You will find people who don’t believe in this and will think you are 
crazy for trying it. This could be members of your family, friends, 
coworkers, or even members of online communities. Don’t let them 
control you. Using mantras is something that can help your life. You will 
have the last laugh. One thing you can say to the naysayers is how can 
saying mantras repeatedly hurt? Even if they don’t work, they certainly 
won’t harm anybody by using them.
You will find plenty of resources online if you are stuck trying to 
come up with mantras to use. Simply do a search on success mantras and 
use whatever time frame you feel you want to include. Daily is best, but as 
long as you are consistent, you could make every other day work or even 
weekly. Any more than that, though, and you probably will lose the 
effectiveness of the mantras. You want to train your brain, and that 
requires frequent affirmations and repetition.
Create your own success mantra now and place it next to your 
dream board.

Now that you have written down your goals, with detailed action 
plans and a set of success mantra to keep you moving forward, you will
require one last thing before you start taking actions – an accountability 
partner.

committed in helping you succeed. At the end of the day, we are much 
more likely to take action when there is someone around taking notes and 
tracking our goals, coaching us and cheering us on along the way.

Once you get yourself moving towards your goal, keep reminding yourself 
to enjoy the journey along the way!

For those of you that are wondering why I used the word "MANTRA"
In my book ?
Here is your answer.
First i will explain what a Mantra is.
What Is a Mantra?
The word mantra can be broken down into two parts: “man,” which means mind, and “tra,” which means transport or vehicle. In other words, a mantra is an instrument of the mind—a powerful sound or vibration that you can use to enter a deep state of meditation.

Like a seed planted with the intention of blossoming into a beautiful perennial, a mantra can be thought of as a seed for energizing an intention. Much in the same way you plant a flower seed, you plant mantras in the fertile soil of practice. You nurture them and over time they bear the fruit of your intention.
Now I use it towards POSITIVE encouragement. 
✅ I can achieve my goals.
✅I am worthy of success.
✅The world 🌍 is my play ground.
✅I am unstoppable.
✅Not anything anyone can stop me from achieving.
✅Negativity doesn't exist in my world. 🌍.
Now I repeat  phrases every moment of the day.
Reinforcing my belief try in myself and my abilities to Concorde the world.🌍. Being my own boss, an entrepreneur, a freedom lifestyle.
Most of all I deserve it.
