Default These THREE things could revolutionize your life... as they did mine

Have you ever heard of someone who aims to make $100, and ends up making $1000 instead?

Well, it does happen....

But someone who AIMS to make $1000 from the start is MUCH MORE likely to make that $1000 than someone who only aims for $100....

The sky is the limit.... Don't settle for a few peanuts when you can have big, ripe, juicy watermelons!

(Or insert your own favorite fruit or nut!)

What you think of yourself, you ARE..... If you think you're able to achieve great things, you CAN... But if you don't believe that, then you can't.... The key is getting yourself to the stage when you believe that you really CAN... And being PERSISTENT....

Then things can start to hapen!

I've always believed in myself.... I believed I could get a Ph.D. I believed I could get PAID trips to the USA from Australia -- and I have, every year since 1997 I've traveled to the USA and got PAID for it too, as part of being an academic....

And I have great belief in my business abilities....

How do you keep belief in yourself up? One important factor is the people who you surround yourself with....

Are your friends building you up, or tearing you down?

You'll find that many people mean well, but they think it is a favor to you to tell you why you CAN'T do this, why you CAN'T do that, why you CAN'T make this much money, why you CAN'T CAN'T CAN'T....

They'll say they are being "realists" -- but really they are being pessimists, but they don't know it...

Their intentions are probably good, in many cases... But they don't realize that they are actually harming you more than helping you... They are eating away at your confidence...

However, you'll find that there are other people who will help BUILD UP your confidence. These are the optimistic types...

These kinds of people will help to explain to you that you CAN achieve what you set out to achieve....

It is certainly possible....

I've been a life-long student of success principles. For most of these past years, I've applied them to my academic career and to my physics research....

And they work. After I finished my Ph.D., I won something called the "Mollie Holman Medal" from my university -- the award for the BEST Ph.D. in the SCIENCE faculty....

And I studied at Monash University, the biggest university in Australia in terms of number of students.... So there was LOTS of competition for that Medal....

However, I've found that academia is not what I really want to do with my life... I still love my physics research work (and I'm continuing it), but academia is too limiting....

And through the power of BELIEF I'm going to transform things into an incredible and some might say revolutionary direction in my life... I can see it happening before me... The pieces are all coming together.... :)

However, I don't really want to talk about me.... The point is it can happen for YOU too.... BELIEF in yourself, CONFIDENCE in your abilities and capacity for learning, and dogged PERSISTENCE will get you there!

I've used these principles in my physics career, with great success... So I know they work.... :)

I know it's sometimes easier to say than do... But make it easier on yourself, and surround yourself with those who will boost your CONFIDENCE, not those who will eat it up and take it away.... And you'll find incredible things happening, sometimes beyond your expectations! :)

P.S. Here's a little secret... I never planned to get the "Mollie Holman Medal" for my Ph.D..... It was one of those things which EXCEEDED my expectations. But that just shows you the incredible POWER of belief, confidence, and persistence!
