The 10 Ingredients That You’ll Need To Know In Order To Achieve Success In Life And Business…
Hi All,
You have a dream? You want success? You need to succeed? Here’s what you need to make it happen.
I don’t like the expression keys to success. There are no locks to success that need to be opened. Success really has an open door policy and it’s up to us just to walk on in and make all our dreams come true.
There are INGREDIENTS that need to be blended and a recipe to follow to create a successful life. As in cooking everyone will always add that little something of their own to the recipe to make it special and successful.
The 10 ingredients below are to be working together for and with you at all times. They’re not to be addressed as individual ingredients to be used individually at certain times. You will find that all these ingredients will blend and overlap each other on a daily basis. The more you know about each one and how it will affect you on your success journey the stronger and more accurate you’ll be when trying to hit your targets or goals.
The following are the 10 ingredients for success:
1-Support – Everyone needs a cheerleader. Everyone needs someone to go to for advice, support and information. When the body and mind want to quit you need a voice whispering in your ear that you can and will make it. Friends, family or other professionals could make up your success support team. This is the most critical ingredient for your success journey.
2-Dreams – Everything starts here. Whatever the mind can conceive it can achieve. Don’t let anyone tell you to give up on your dreams. Make your dreams an integral part of your life.
3-Goals – We all need direction. You need to know where you’re going and when you’ll be able to get there. Goals will help you with this. Make them big goals. Don’t be afraid to set big goals. Big goals will energize and inspire you.
4-Reality – You must learn how to deal with the harsh realities of life at the current moment and at the same time keep your eye on where you want to be. Your dreams and goals will help make this happen for you.
5-Positive Expectancy – You must be able to know in your heart that whatever life throws at you it will be ok and you’ll be ok. You must embrace and have faith in the notion that every day is another chance to start fresh and fix and adjust anything that knocked you off course.
6-Emotions – Emotions are yours and they are meant to help you and guide you. You must acknowledge them all and respect them. Let your emotions have their say and question why you feel that way. You’ll feel empowered and confident once you and your emotions become allies.
7-Fear – Everyone lives with this particular emotion. Courage is not the lack of fear it’s feeling the fear and moving forward anyway.
8-Think Negative – Expect the worst and hope for the best. This attitude will never let you down. It will stimulate questions that need to be answered and it will help in keeping you safe in business and in your personal life.
9-Questions – Questions get you answers. Answers are what you need to be able to achieve success in your life. Always ask questions that start with who, what, when, where, why and how. Question everything and your chances of success increase at an incredible rate. You can never ask too many questions.
10-Action – Just move forward. Adopt the attitude of ready, fire, aim instead of ready, aim, fire and make adjustments as you travel. You can’t get to where you’re going unless you get out of the house and let opportunity bump into you.
Embrace all 10 ingredients and as you move forward build your own success support community. As I said earlier this is the most critical ingredient of all.
Having success support is about having people in your life who care about you and are loyal to you as well as having people in your life who are positive, intelligent, ethical, and ambitious. Having quality people participating in your success journey and each person enthusiastically participating is absolutely essential to your success.
Your success support team gives you feedback, helps you brainstorm new possibilities, and sets up accountability structures that keep you focused and on track. You must create a success support group who will brainstorm together with you and help you move closer to all your goals and dreams. Success Support is a significant, critical ingredient for you achieving all your goals and making your dreams come true.
Good Luck,
Regards,
Barry
Why is success so elusive for most people?
Why is success so elusive for most people? They make it harder than it really is, That’s why…
Success really is a simple process…. These are the 6 very powerful steps for building a powerful future.
Follow them and enjoy the success you have always dreamed of.
1- You decide what you really need. You won’t make it if you just want it. You must need it. You’re absolutely totally committed to this “need”. There is no turning back. You have done the dreaming and the research and now there is no doubt about the Vision. You’re going for it! You need it! You’re not going to let anyone or anything stop you.
2-You are willing to take extraordinary action. You don’t care how many hours in a day you have to work,You don’t care what tasks you have to do, you don’t care how much you have to travel, you will do whatever you have to do to succeed. Anything!!!
3-You are constantly vigilant as to what is working and what is not. CONSTANTLY! You should quietly and calmly review your findings on a daily basis. You should keep a journal on everything you see, think, feel and even suspect. A pattern will emerge if you remain open. Expect failure and then fight like a mad person to make sure it doesn’t happen. I call this my preventative attitude. It keeps you sharp and prepared.
4-You stay Nimble and Flexible. You love your product the way it is and no matter what you’ll make people buy it. Right? Wrong! Ask questions…Questions will help bring the Big Bucks. Who, why, what, where, when and How. Ask…Ask…Ask. If people working with you are a wrong fit do them a favor, and yourself, and help them leave and find a job that’s right for them. Don’t fall in love with anything or anyone. It’s an attitude that is good for everyone.
5- Continue to change your approach, based on all the information you have accumulated, until you achieve your goals. If you have to change to a less glamorous course of action after hearing the reality of the situation so be it. Do Not fall in love with today.. Change is coming…You will always have to start “all over again” tomorrow. Get used to it.
6-NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, GIVE UP….. it’s impossible, I repeat, it’s impossible to fail if you adamantly refuse to give up, give in or go home.
Follow these steps and you can’t fail.
As I said if you never give up, give in or go home there is no failure.
There is retreat though. You enable your organization to rest. You plan your next move, you review all the steps above and then launch your offensive.
Good Luck!
See you on the open road…
Best wishes
Barry
Once you choose Hope, Anything’s possible
“Once you choose Hope, Anything’s Possible”… Christopher Reeve
The Definition of Hope:
1. The feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best.
2. A particular instance of this feeling: the hope of winning
I ask you “Why not you?” I ask you “Why shouldn’t you have everything you want in life?” I ask you “Who told you that you can’t have what you want”?
It seems that too many people believe that where they are in life today is where they will be forever.
I ask you Why think that? I ask you “Who made you believe that?”
I’m not saying it’s easy and that if you just change your attitude you’ll be on your way to your dreams. I am saying why not take a baby step towards your dream. Dip your toe in the water and go from there. That’s easy. Start with busting out of the chains that keep you down.
I want you to defend yourself against negative people and the negative talk. Defend your right to succeed. Why be bullied into low achievements by words that are not accurate or true? Words spoken by people who will never do anything with their lives. Little People!!!
Hope means busting out from the loser village that people close to you got you to buy into. Oh, the people that love you wouldn’t do that? Right? Yes Right!!! You did it to yourself and you allowed it to happen. Hey, I ask you “If you did do it why can’t you undo it???”
To Summarize: You want success in your life?
1-Use the questions above to bust out of all the mental restrictions you imposed on yourself. Start small. Just question yourself or have a positive human being work with you. Don’t beat yourself up. Take one question a week to begin your journey. One Question… It’s that simple.
2-Physically move forward towards you dream. You got 4 kids, 2 dogs, mortgage, helping your in-laws and no time. I ask you “Can’t you find 15 minutes every day that you could do research on making your dream come true?” If you can’t you might as well just resign yourself to your current reality.Just 15 minutes… It’s that simple.
3-Ladies and Gentlemen: You gotta have HOPE. Hope is dealing with your reality today AND at the same time know that you will be ok and that you will succeed. I ask you “Why Not?”
Good luck!

Barry
How To Make The World A Better Place
So many people fear change. The economy slips and they fear the worst. They lose their job and they fear that they will never get another one. Looking at it from another perspective, without change, we can never move forward. Change is Good!
What happens when the economy slows down?
Companies that have survived for years even though the products and services they offer are inferior to others are the first to go. Those who survive do so because they are forced to strive to deliver greater value to their customers. When the tough times pass, as they did in the Great Depression, the country comes out of a tough economic period stronger than ever before because it was forced to embrace change.
If you want to know how to change the world for the better, don’t look to the government for help. Look within. Sure, it’s important to take a stand and vote for the candidates you think are most dedicated to bringing about positive change, but it’s even more important to look within, to the greatest power for change in the known universe: yourself.
That probably sounds like an absurd statement – that you are the greatest power in the universe. It’s certainly not meant to make you feel egotistical. Only a narcissist thinks he’s the most powerful person in the world. But in a very real sense, you are the greatest power in the world, because only you can change yourself.
There may be a higher power standing right behind you, but until you acknowledge your personal power to change yourself, you will not be able to tap into the greater power that can help you change the world for the better.
Take this for example: Let’s say you’ve been working the same job for years. It pays the bills and you enjoy the respect of your colleagues, but it doesn’t satisfy something deep down inside. It feels safe, though, so you stick with it because you fear change. Then one day out of the blue, you lose your job. Fear is the first emotion you feel. It’s natural, but you needn’t let it be your master.
When Franklin D. Roosevelt became President of the United States in 1933, it was the height of the Great Depression. Fear was everywhere. It was Roosevelt who said the immortal words, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself” during his inaugural address. Many people believe that those stirring words alone helped lift America out of the Depression.
Remember those words when change comes unexpectedly. Don’t let fear paralyze you into going backwards.
Remember that Change is good and use change as a springboard to launch you forward. Do so and you will find all the power you need to change yourself and the world. That’s how to change the world for the better: embrace change, believe in yourself and let’s try to heal the world.
STOP, You Want Success? Read this first: 7 elements Needed For Your Success Support Network
I don’t care what age you are, we all have dreams.

I’m 58 years old and rebuilding my professional life. He’s teaching me and supporting me in regards to the Internet Marketing world. It’s the perfect blend of Offline meets Online.
My goal is to build my ecommerce apparel / success support forum website into one of the largest socially conscious, people oriented, profitable companies in the world . We look forward to getting our positive messages out to the people. We want to make a huge global difference and help heal the world.
How’s that for a goal? By the way you’re all invited to move forward with us to make YOUR dreams come true AND help us make a difference in the world.
I have started and built successful business for over 30 years. The elements needed for success below are tried and true. I lived them and I’m still living them. I Learned (and still learning) from my mistakes and what you read below is the result of REAL experiences. The experience of SUCCESS and The experience of SETBACKS.
It’s impossible to cover everything below in one post. I will help you start and you must continue to do the research neccessary to strengthen every element below. . I will eventually cover all seven individually in the future. You must see these seven elements as one unit dedicated to helping you achieve your success. If one is missing or weak you will have a tough time succeeding. You must look to strengthen all of them every single day.
I suggest you get 7 file folders, mark each one with an element and accumulate all your information. Highlight and mark pages so that you could review the information anytime you want to.
Think of all the information below as a Sitemap or a Roadmap . . . . . Any questions? Feel free to reach out to me.
1-Dreams
This is where it all starts. This is where you need to “see it” or “feel it” or you cannot and will not move forward. Feeling that you are destined for great things and not being able to see exactly what it is right now is a great start. Don’t worry if you can’t see it today.
Embrace this feeling and be aware of it all the time. Read everything you can and meet and talk to old friends and new people to see what they’re up to. Embrace and nurture this feeling and your conscious and subconscious mind will become aware of, and will help you see, opportunities as they present themselves. Actually seeing what you want gives you the chance to focus your research and networking.
Either way the dream must inspire intense desire to enable you to move forward. Think Big . . . .Really Big. Don’t be afraid. Toss the bigger dream around in your mind for a couple of days and have fun and play with it. Play without judging it and you will see how incredible you feel when that big dream eventually feels comfortable and obtainable.
2-Emotions
The ups and downs that you will experience in the pursuit of success will be substantial and it’s enough to bring the strongest person to their knees at times. You must learn about how to control your emotions. It’s not easy but the good news is that it can be done and it’s all in your control. If you can only remember one thing then remember that you have the power to maintain and control your emotions.
3- Belief
If you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you won’t, you most assuredly won’t. Either way you’re going to be right. Belief is the ignition that will get that fire roaring. It will carry you through all the way to the finish line. You must believe in your dream but most important of all you must believe in YOU. Ask yourself “Why not me?” Make a list and then with a black magic marker cross off all the lame negative reasons. Rewrite the list with all the positive reasons and then title it ” THIS IS WHY I CAN BE SUCCESSFUL” . Stick it on a place where you’ll see it every day and then just move forward.
4-Desire
So you want to be an actor or a nurse or a millionaire? That’s nice. Well you may not get it. There is only one thing that is stronger that setbacks, failures, disasters and that’s Desire. Big Dreams plus Enormous Belief in yourself equals huge indestructible Desire. You have to need success, not merely want it. Needing it like you need food and water will put you miles ahead of the global competition.
5-Change
Change is coming! Change is Good! If you see change as your enemy it will smack you around plenty. You will defeat and short circuit yourself and your dream. You . . .and only YOU will be responsible for derailing your success journey. You cannot beat “change”. It’s indestructible.
Embrace change and you give yourself a daily pass to start all over every day. Change comes in waves, sometimes big and sometimes small. Change happens all the time. Sometimes it works against you . . .Deal with it . . . . . and sometimes it works for you. You need to have faith that in the end it will be ok and you will flourish and move forward. Your goal is to always move forward. Moving sideways and back is normal, and it will happen, but when a new day dawns you must be persistent and move forward. Keep changing your approach until you achieve your goal.
6-Support
This one is usually left out in the majority of personal development books and articles. The mastermind concept has been around many years and should be a part of your success support network but it should be only one part.
You need deeper mental and emotional support. The Lone Ranger stories are all fiction. If you take a closer look at any personal or professional success story you will see another person or persons who were an important part of the story.
You need people who feel you and care about you. A spouse, partner,friend, teacher,parent, counselor or lover will give you that deep emotional support you need to help you get over the finish line.
Don’t have that? That’s ok I never had it either. There are plenty of ways to get that support from reading. It’s been a huge part of my success.
The major point: Get that support; You are going to need it. It could be one person, one book, or many people and many books. Point is: Get your cheerleader(s) ready.
7- Never, never give up
I dont think this needs much of an explanation. How can you ever fail if you never, never give up? This is where the other elements kick in to support you. You also must be ready, able and willing to effect a new course of action that is needed to succeed. You must do what you can to stay standing. You do not Give Up, Give In or Go Home. Temporarily Retreat, regroup and rest is what you do if the situation is difficult. Tomorrow you start all over again!!!
“When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.” ~Harriet Beecher Stowe
I wish you a lot of Luck. I’m part of your Success Support Network if you need me. You can make it.
Best wishes now and forever,
Barry
