When trying to plan life goals it’s often difficult to see where the road eventually leads to as it seems so far away. This article takes a look at a way of helping to deal with this often-encountered problem and overcoming it.

I find that it often helps to create a mental image - in terms I can relate to - of any given problem. So for really big projects it pays to have a big image! One I use for visualizing life goals is that of a mountain. You are stood there at the foot of the mountain looking at the summit: how do you get there?

My colleagues and I in our Home-Based Business Owners Consortium known as KOG Unity PLUS Group ponder this conundrum almost daily. Consider our points of agreement. Opportunities to succeed abound today as never before in history. Immutable and powerful principles govern success and deliver prosperity to everyone in alignment with them. The Internet provides us with one of the most powerful tools of opportunity for success ever in human history. Now consider our point of contention. About 90 percent of my more than 1,000 colleagues around the country believe that if you construct an amazing opportunity and set the investment at a price almost everyone can afford, thousands of people will flock to the offering. I, on the other hand, believe that most people’s minds have become so adapted to failure and so accepting of the so-called inevitability of horrendous circumstances that skepticism and fear hinder their progress.

In order to find success in our lives we need to pay attention to what is working and what is not. We need to find a way to do more of what is working in order to get more of what we want. This shift in position – to change you position, is the essence of flexibility.

In my work with successful professionals and business owners, I often hear my clients voice a common concern: “I don’t have the time to do what I really want to do. Work occupies so much of my time. I feel my life is out of balance.” Successful professionals and business owners often feel pressured to work harder and keep longer hours to keep up with the demands of their work. Under these circumstances it is easy to develop the belief that there just is not enough time to do all that needs to be done, much less to spend time doing what one would like to do. Feeling controlled by circumstances leads to significant feelings of frustration that, over time, will lead to poor work performance and burnout. Restoring a sense of balance is crucial to thriving in your work and personal life.

Fear, phobia, dread, panic, call it what you will, everyone of us has known what it is like to have been afraid of a situation we have found ourselves having to confront at one time or another.

It may be a fear of flying, heights, public speaking or a myriad of other things that can ruin our lives, and that of our family and friends as well.

But what is it that makes us have these feelings? Why are we scared of some scenarios but not others? Why is not everyone afraid of the same things? Well obviously not everyone is the same, we all think and behave differently therefore deal with situations differently as well.

It is fairly well known that internet commerce has exploded in the last five years. There are many work at home opportunities for stay at home moms and college students to earn an online income.

If you want to talk about a limiting perspective on life that can take you out of the game faster than anything, it is what I call the “perfectionist frame.” The feeling or belief that whatever you are doing or working on has to be nothing less than perfect or it is unacceptable.

There are many possible places this comes from, whether it’s having parents who put that kind of pressure and expectation on you as a child, the experience of actually having done some thing(s) to perfection in the past and developing a compulsive attachment to that experience, wanting to show everything and everyone that you can do it or ultimately you really are better then them at the end of the day, the fear of “screwing up” or letting people down, fear or criticism, and on and on and on.

The music business is not all that different from other businesses. Some succeed while some fail. Some make money and others lose it. Your drive is what will set you apart from others. There are so many people doing exactly what you are doing! Scary isn’t it. Think about things you are doing right now that others are not doing. Your number one objective is to succeed at your craft. But what is your definition of success? It may be different from the person sitting next to you.

Define your success.

Is it possible to be a grappler and train injury free? By some reactions that I’ve received in the past, many tend to think that grappling “injury-free” is very possible. Some grapplers like to believe that most injuries could be avoided if training partners were more considerate and less competitive while training.

I never spent alot of time in school learning how important real knowledge is to prepare a person for adult life. Learning the hard way as I did it takes along time and alot extra work that school would teach a person alot quicker. I can tell people first hand how hard life was to learn about with out the proper education that school gives each student. learning is a harder process I had to find out for myself. Forcing myself to grow up faster then I was prepared for cost me so many hard earned lessons. Take the time to be a student first growing up faster just takes away so many great school experiences that a student should not miss out on. These are the happy times I wish I had to look back on.
