5-Star Ebook Diary

Before I get into today’s post, I would like to put something out there that I read within the past week or so and that has been sticking in my craw. It comes from an email that I read from another marketer and it just made me think about WHY I am doing what I am doing.

The email was from Willie Crawford and the jist of it was when he decided to ‘become a guru’ (which by the way, I hate that term, don’t ask me why, I just hate it). The portion of the email that got to me was this:
“- I dumped the poverty mentality and realized that there is enough wealth to go around, and figured out how to get my share.

- I realized that money is not evil, although the misused drive to get it can lead to evil. Used properly, money allows you to do tremendous “good.”

- I learned that nothing in life is without risk… and I learned how to take calculated risks that paid off handsomely more often than not.

- Every experience in our lives can serve as a springboard and source of strength , allowing us to boldly move forward

I share just that tiny bit of my background, because my becoming a top internet marketer… someone that some…with mixed emotions… often refer to as “a guru” was NOTHING more than making a decision.

I simply decided that I would do those things necessary to become a success.

I learned long ago that “Successful People Do Things That Unsuccessful People Know That They Should Do – But Won’t.”

I also learned long ago that successful people often DON’T want to do the things necessary for success… things like taking a few risk, work harder but smarter, and showing the discipline to make a decision and then see it through to completion. However, they still do them”

My take out of that is that whatever your mindset is, is what you will bring about. In other words, if you think negative thoughts, you will get negative things and if you have good, productive thoughts, you can achieve whatever you want to.

He also talks about how money is not evil unless you make it evil, which is exactly what God says it is in the Bible.

My biggest takeaway from the words above–successful people take risks and take action; they make things happen; and that is where the title of this post comes from.

As I mentioned in the last post, I am working on an information product, since that is what 5 Star Ebooks is all about. After all, that is, by far, the best selling product on the internet today.

Unfortunately, I can’t divulge what the product is about, but you will know in a few short weeks. I was stuck….I had ‘writer’s block’. I would take the pages that I had been composed and make an attempt to edit them towards a finished product. I couldn’t muster the strength to do it. I was paralyzed for some reason.

Fear? Fear of failure? Possibly.

Until today–er, last night, when the lightbulb FINALLY went on, was I able to feel like I could move on.

Believe it or not, I came up with the title for the ebook. I did a search for a domain name. Registered that today…in fact, just mere hours ago. I am working with Dave at Planet Divinity to do the graphics and cover for me.

Needless to say, I feel free to continue with the project and believe it or not, it has spurred ideas for at least one followup product.

I know this post has been relatively long, but it was something I wanted to throw out there.

Are you taking action? How’s your risk taking? Do you have a positive mindset to attract the good things in life?

Feel free to leave me a comment……

Until next time,

Here is to OUR success….
