The end of the year is upon us. As I sit here reflecting about all the trials and tribulations I have wrestled with this year, I have a deep sense of gratitude that I have been able to fulfill my promises.
A promise to take care of a newborn daughter, a promise to save our household from certain demise, and a promise to be better than the year before. You see this year has taken my wife and I on a journey from the depths of complete and utter failure offline, to the heights of infinite success on the internet.
This year life threw everything negative that it could our way, but we still prevailed. We suffered, we had frustrations, we doubted our abilities to survive, but we still prevailed. Thank you God.
As I turn 29 years young tomorrow, I can truly say that this year (2009) has been one of the most trying years in my life. At the same time, it has been one of the most life altering experiences, filled with joy, love, and lots of successes as well.
With darkness there is always light right around the corner. My wife and I had a choice to make this year, do we allow the current failures we were going through at the time to define our future, or do we decide to stand up and fight and do something different?
Well we chose to stand up and start an online business. We chose to FOCUS on the positive things that might happen with this new business rather than to focus on all the negative things that were happening around us.
We chose to follow the simple steps provided by an online community and our mentor instead of trying to reinvent the wheel ourselves. And finally, we chose to put in the hard work each day to get the results that we wanted.
What did we get in return?
The greatest gift we could have never asked for; the ability to have the time to raise our daughter the way we wanted. We could actually work from home, make money online, and watch her grow.
Experience her saying her first words. Experience her crawling and walking for the first time. And moving forward we know that we will be the parents who are always there for their child.
It has definitely been a life altering year and if I had to do it over again, I would not change anything. You see it was our ability to focus in times of dispair that allowed us to shine when our world was the darkest.
By focusing and being relentless toward our goals, the results were extraordinary. Are you focusing on the positive aspects of your life each day, or are you dwelling only on the negative?
Take it from our experience, focus on the light and you can accomplish anything you want in life. Even the things you never thought were possible.

Part 3: 5 Daily Activities Of Successful Individuals
I often get asked, "How do you have the confidence to start new ventures and follow them through to be successful?" Well, the main reason is because I know that when it comes down to it, I will be able to focus and get things completed in a timely manner, when the next person may not.
Focus Is The Key To Success
If success is in your horizon, you are going to have to master the simple but often difficult skill of focusing. Finding the focus in our lives is something we all struggle with and have to figure out at some point, and I believe that right now is the best time.
Have you ever heard the expression, "It is better to do your chores now instead of leaving them for tomorrow?" I am sure you have hundreds of times, and running a business online is no different.
Focusing your life around the things you want to be successful in should be priority number one for you. Then, all you have to do is give time to those things everyday and watch yourself accomplish your goals and dreams.
For instance, in our lives these are the main four things my wife and I focus on:
- Religion
- Family and Friends
- Creating Profitable Businesses
- Exercise or Hobbies
Now, we don't focus our time on the broad categories you see above. We focus our time on accomplishing the daily and weekly tasks we have organized into our schedules. We do this by following a process I like to call Micro-Targeting. This is where you do the prep work to actually accomplish one of of your tasks.
So if I say that I want to write a new article, I will write out the purpose or message of the article, do some research, pick some keywords, and then I am ready to do my article. This helps me accomplish my task faster and I don't just sit there trying to think of what to write about wasting time.
The whole point is instead of just sitting down and saying that today I am going to write an article, I am micro-targeting my way towards that goal with baby steps. Each of the baby steps is the work required to actually accomplish the task, but because I am able to break them down into finite steps, the task now seems doable.
As I accomplish each of my tasks everyday, I come one giant step closer towards achieiving my main goal. The closer I get, the more I focus. The more I focus, the more I get done, and the cycle continues until I reach my goal.
Why is doing this process so important to a person's success? Always remember that as human beings most of us are naturally more efficient when we work in an environment of order, not chaos. When you first place your focus on the baby steps, and then on getting the task at hand done, reaching your main broad goals will now become a reality.
You will not be hampered anymore by looking at a goal and thinking that it is too difficult or big to accomplish. You now know you need to break your goals down to the finite steps and focus on those everyday. You now know that success occurs when you focus on the details everyday, not the big picture.
After focus, the only other variable left that will determine your success is if you are willing to do the work and have persistence. I will cover this more in my next article. Make it a great day.
