Do you have the courage to live like you want to? Do you have the courage to follow your dreams?

It Only Takes 6 Steps to Change Your Life

Hope is the foundational principle for all change. People change because they have hope, and if people do not have hope, they will not change. You are responsible for the changes that you make in your life. The good news? You can change your life if you really want to. You can improve it, make it better. And it all starts with changing the way you think. So are you ready? I am going to walk you through a six-step plan for achieving positive change.

Here’s how you give yourself a little hope:
 

Step 1: When you change your thinking, you change your beliefs.

Change begins with the mind. Beliefs are nothing more than a byproduct of what you have thought about long enough, something that you have bought into—always remember that. What you believe, what you think, is just a collection of continual thoughts that have formed themselves into a conviction. When you break down the process of thinking into a manageable number of steps, you reduce the perceived risk associated with change.

Step 2: When you change your beliefs, you change your expectations.

Belief is the knowledge that we can do something. It is the inner feeling that what we undertake, we can accomplish. For the most part, all of us have the ability to look at something and know whether we can do it. So in belief there is power… our eyes are opened, our opportunities become plain, our visions become realities. Our beliefs control everything we do. If we believe we can or we believe we cannot, we are correct.

Step 3: When you change your expectations, you change your attitude.

Your expectations are going to determine your attitude. Most people get used to average; they get used to second best. Nelson Boswell said, “The first and most important step toward success is the expectation that we can succeed.”

Step 4: When you change your attitude, you change your behavior.

When our attitude begins to change, when we become involved with something, our behavior begins to change. The reason that we have to make personal changes is that we cannot take our people on a trip that we have not made.

Step 5: When you change your behavior, you change your performance.

Most people would rather live with old problems than new solutions. We would rather be comfortable than correct; we would rather stay in a routine than make changes. Even when we know that the changes are going to be better for us, we often don’t make them because we feel uncomfortable or awkward about making that kind of a change. Until we get courage and get used to living with something that is not comfortable, we cannot get any better.

Step 6: When you change your performance, you change your life.

It is easier to turn failure into success than an excuse into a possibility. A person can fail, turn around and understand their failure to make it a success. But I want to tell you, a person who makes excuses for everything will never truly succeed. Don’t you know some people who just have an excuse for everything? Why they could not, should not, did not, would not, have not, will not. I promise you, when you excuse what you are doing and excuse where you are, and you allow the exceptions, you fail to reach your potential. It is impossible to turn excuses into possibilities.

How to change your results?

Your words affect your own mood. Undoubtedly! Words, which are uttered, create your state. If you call a situation "a CATASTROPHY" this triggers a specific emotional response in you, which is quite different than if you would describe the situation as "INTERESTING" or as "a BASE FOR IMPROVEMENT." The language you use, has an impact on how you will react to a failure - whether it is in an optimistic or in an indifferently way.

You should know, that your words are nothing else than your thoughts, which you've expressed. With words you proclaim your beliefs. Your beliefs direct your behavior, your behavior creates all your results! So change your thoughts and your results will change!

All progress takes place outside the comfort zone.

If you want to become a top skier it is stupid to stay on the beginners' slopes. There you will not progress, you will remain mediocre. If you want to become a top skier, you have to move on the most difficult and demanding slopes. And of course they will fill you with tons of discomfort. But this is a part of the growth process. If you do not feel uncomfortable, then you do not grow. On the most difficult tracks you learn the most.

This also applies in the business world. Resistance to change, absorbing and giving up to fear, staying in your comfort zone…this will only lead to a failure in your career.

5 ways to make enough money on the side to quit your day job

Nearly everyone dreams of quitting his or her day job, whether it's tomorrow, next year or in the next decade. However, there is a wide chasm between "dreams" and "action" that many people never seem to cross — and it's usually due to finances. Obviously, if you want to quit, you need to find another way to make enough income to pay your bills, save for the future and enjoy life.

But what's the best way to do this? How can you make enough "side income" now so you can quit your job in the near future? Here are five great ways to make side income while still working your day job:

1. Invest in real estate.

My eyes were first open to the idea of "passive income" after reading "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki. Although not a real-estate book, it taught me the value of owning assets that produce income, which led me to real estate.

Real-estate investing is not always passive, and not always easy, but it can be highly profitable. In addition, there are hundreds of ways to invest in real estate. For example, you could:

• Flip houses

• Own rental houses

• Become a "house hacker"

• Own vacation rentals (Airbnb)

• Rent out duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes

• Buy and rent out apartment complexes

Real-estate investing is my favorite way to create side income because it runs like a locomotive. It might take a little time to build up, but once it's running, it goes a long way with less effort and is hard to stop.

2. Write a book.

Many people have dreams of writing a book, but very few ever do. They think it's too hard, that they don't know enough, don't have enough time, aren't smart enough or whatever other excuse they can come up with. But the truth is: you can write a book, and that book can help you make additional monthly income.

There are several avenues you can take when writing a book, and there is no "best route." For example:

• You could write a series of shorter topic-specific books and publish them on Kindle.

• You could self-publish through your own website and sell to your existing customers.

• You could partner with a larger platform and sell to its audience (as I did).

• You could work to get published through a major publishing company (probably the most difficult path).

• You could record an audiobook and publish it on Audible.

Writing a book today is not as tough as it once was, as there are so many avenues with which you could publish. The keys are no longer held by elite publishing companies in New York City. The keys are now in your hands.

 

3. Sell a product on Amazon.

I'm slightly addicted to Amazon Prime, as my local UPS driver can attest to. It seems every day I have a package or two waiting at my doorstep — and it's usually from people just like you. Most of them probably never touch the product that I'm buying.

That's right: you no longer need to have a warehouse, inventory or employees to buy wholesale products and sell them at retail. Amazon has leveled the playing field and now anyone can sell products.

A friend of mine, Chris from UpFuel.com, decided to sell products on Amazon. He researched best-selling ideas, contacted a manufacturer in China and had the perfect model designed, had the product shipped to Amazon's fulfillment center in the United States and sells his product on the site, making thousands of dollars a month in profit.

The best part? Chris doesn't ever touch the product, and it largely runs on autopilot at this point.

 

4. Sell your skills.

Chances are you are good at something in the business world. Perhaps it's accounting, data entry, video production or writing.

Whatever you are good at, there are likely people out there willing to pay you good money to run that part of their business for them. Smart business owners know that they should focus on what they are good at, and hire out the rest. This is where you can come in and make side income doing what you love.

In addition to freelancing, you could also become a consultant. For example, my friend Joshua Long turned his knowledge of Infusionsoft, ClickFunnels and other marketing systems into a full-fledged consulting business, where he helps CEOs identify existing opportunities in their businesses.

So what are you good at? What will other people pay you for?

 

5. Start a blog.

Finally, a good way to make side income can be with a blog. Although it takes time to build up a following, once you have that following there are numerous ways to monetize the blog.

Jeff Rose, from GoodFinancialCents.com, uses his blog to build up his authority as a certified financial planner, driving traffic and income to his business. At the same time, his blog allows him to monetize in other, more passive methods, such as affiliate marketing, online products and consulting.

To succeed at blogging, it's important that you:

• Focus on writing quality content.

• Work hard at getting that content out there to the world.

• Build your email list from day one, so you can market to those people later.

Blogging is definitely not a "sit at home in your underwear and make easy money" kind of activity. It requires diligence, quality and time. However, blogging can be incredibly rewarding.

There is one common theme with all of the above methods for making side income. Do you know what it is? They all take work. That's right, you'll never achieve the kind of lifestyle you want if you don't work for it. So get out there today and start hustling. You'll be able to quit that job faster than you ever imagined.

What is the difference between a financially successful person and financially unsuccessful person?

The revenue of financially unsuccessful person depends solely on his own, continuous work. If this person get sick, go on holiday or becomes not able to work, his income is terminated.

On the other hand, financially successful person builds automated systems, which generate revenues independently of further work. 

Therefore, begin to search for opportunities that will earn you a passive income as soon as possible. You do not know how? Just ask J
