Write your own declaration of independence
Do you have a written personal mission statement?
If you do then you have your own personal declaration of independence
Good for you
But most who read this don't have a written mission statement
A simple statement of what they want their life to be about and the legacy they want to leave behind
Most of us know what we want. We know who and what we want to become. But we forget to take that next step and write it down
Have a written goals program
In our view, this is the big one
It has often been said that studies show that only 3% of people have written goals.
That 3 %, according to the lore, earn more than the other 97% combined
While we have not read that study what we are sure about is this …
Having a written goals program is the most important thing we have ever done in business.
Yes … THE most important
How can it be the most important?
Because of this - our goals program, which is extensive, is the rudder of our business and life ship
Our goals help me see the future, analyse the present and prepare for what's next. We never have to wonder what to do next because it's in our goals program
We use a very simple, proven method to set goals and we have done so for many years.

Work on a schedule
We know a lot of people reading this work a job and do their online business after work. Many people work online after dinner or after the kids are in bed.
We admire your persistence and effort and absolutely know what it's like because we did that for many years ourselves
No matter whether you work a job and then work online or whether you can devote your full-time attention to your online business, working on a fixed schedule will help you.
The benefits of working on a schedule are many.
Allow us to share our favourites.
Working on a fixed schedule will …
- Help you get more done
- Help you not overwork
- Help you maintain focus
- Help you not feel burned out
- Help you set boundaries in other areas of life
- Help you prioritise how you spend your time
If you have ever found yourself clicking links in emails, thinking that maybe this one is the one that will turn things around, and forgetting what you really intended to do then working on a schedule will help you
We believe almost anything can be scheduled
From reading email (only twice a day!) to writing a book to checking out new business to posting ads, if you schedule your work you will get more done in less time and enjoy that work more.
Never surrender your dream
We saved the best for last!
We all have dreams. You have one and we have one. Some of us have many.
Whether yours is written down or not, you have a dream in your mind of what you want life to be like.
This dream -- your dream of the life you want -- must NEVER be surrendered.
It must be kept alive at all costs.
Top achievers, who are often recognised as an "overnight success" (when in fact they have worked hard for years) often talk about the dream that got them there.
Never surrendering to me means never surrendering YOUR dream
Think of it this way; the dream you hold in your heart, the dream of what you want your life to be like is the destination
The business you choose, the methods you use and the people you work with are the vehicles that get you to that destination
The vehicle might change but the destination remains the same
We've been online long enough now to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that success is waiting for those who seek it, who chart a clear and proven path, take bold action and never surrender
Nothing is more freeing than a successful business. One you can operate from anywhere, on your own schedule and in complete freedom
You deserve success AND you deserve freedom
Both are waiting for you right now
When you have both you will have a beautiful thing indeed
