The store manager snapped before woman could speak. ‘You ain’t coming in, we're closing.’

‘Tis okay,’ woman said, in broken English. She unfolded a piece of paper and thrust it out to Store Manager. ‘I am looking for Warwick Road. I am lost. Can you help me?’

‘Ain’t got a clue,’ manager shrugged. As I eased through gap between woman, door and store manager, I was appalled by his attitude. He managed a bookstore – surely they stocked a map!

Then I thought… ‘Warwick Road. Warwick Road… I know that road… ‘Where is it? Where is it?’

As moments rushed by, woman disappeared, melding into dark, busy streets of London. Then I remembered A-Z map I had in my hotel bedroom, which was no more than one hundred yards away. I knew I would have to run to catch her up, but as I started to run, something happen.

It all unfolded in my imagination: A woman walking streets in London, approached by a man jogging after her, calling out, ‘I can help. I can help,’ and saying follow me back to my hotel. I have an A-Z map up in my room!’

It didn’t add up.

I stopped dead in my tracks. I let her go. I let her go into darkness of a London night… alone… And this is what happened to me when I got back to my hotel room.

It bothered me that I had not helped woman and I paced floor. It bothered me so much I ended up looking for Warwick Road on A-Z map. I found it, right at end of road my hotel was on… and for that matter where bookstore was located! Right then I spotted bag my new book was in and shook it out and it fell out onto bed… open on a page with a very odd question.

It asked a question. ‘Who are you?’ Immediately I knew why I was so bothered by my inability to help woman. In that moment it all made sense to me. I had become so frustrated because I knew that I could have helped that woman and didn’t. I knew I was here to help people find direction in life. And that realisation led to another…

It really was quite ironic as I thought about events: here I was, supposedly not lost and yet a woman who had admitted to being lost had made me think about my life again. The fact that she had been lost and I had failed to help gave me a wonderful reminder of who I was and what my life path is all about. This woman who claimed to be lost had most definitely given me directions back to who I am; that’s ‘who’ that got lost in all those life issues.

What if every experience in life is sent to you so you can understand who you are and what life is all about? Don’t wait for a death or an accident to realise who you are and what is important to you. Live life now… in every moment!

Until you reach your goal in 3 YEARS. (Maybe less, Maybe More.)

We reap what we sow, but harvest is never in same season as planting! Today you are planting...and will be at least for next several months.

Your harvest will come in time. Be persistent. Be patient. Think long term. Take action every day, (no matter how small) to build your business and you cannot fail.

MY 11 SECRETS TO SUCCEED WITH YOUR HOME BUSINESS

1. Your first ultimate start must include written goals and plans. Formulate a plan of weekly activity and be persistent in following it—if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Sticking to your plan is essential for success.

2.Don't wait for everything to be exactly right to start...THERE WILL NEVER BE A "PERFECT" TIME! Start now, with whatever you have.

The things you need will come to you as you work toward your goal. You cannot become successful in anything when you're trying to do too many things at once.

3. Treat your business as a serious, full-time business, and it will become one. Think of your first six months primarily as a training period. Don't expect large earnings until after you've educated yourself.

4. Be patient. You'll work hardest your first six months or so and get compensated least. Big incomes never happen overnight.

They only come after you've properly shown your affiliates how to duplicate your efforts. Always be ENTHUSIASTIC!! Don't give yourself unrealistic expectations.

5. Don't complain to your upline leaders. Realize that what you accomplish is mainly in your hands, no one else's.

Also realize that, when you see a problem, 95% of time there are factors you are unaware of. Don't jump to conclusions. When you have a problem, present it in a concise letter as positive, constructive criticism. Offer solutions if possible, too.

Not only will this approach get you better results, but you'll be building your relationship with your upline instead of tearing it down.

6. Be organized, but don't allow act of organizing keep you from most important element of a successful business: MARKETING.

Market and promote your business EVERY DAY! Don't let little problems upset you. Concentrate on many positives...and "big picture."

7. Always remember that only thing that will never change is that there will always be changes. Don't let changes upset you.

Know that you will have to deal with changes and other obstacles, both big and small, continually. Be prepared to be flexible.

8. Don't be a negative thinker and don't let negative attitudes of others (even if they're family members, friends, or peers) influence you.

All great men and women in history had to overcome naysayers who said it couldn't be done—and then went out and did it. Think for yourself!

9. Don't be derailed by "perfection paralysis." Realize that you won't be able to do everything perfectly. Do best job you can, then move on to next project. Keep learning and keep moving ahead.

10. Read books (such as Napoleon Hill's classic, "Think And Grow Rich") that will convince you how powerful your mind really is. Develop tremendous potential in you (that we all have) that has never been tapped!

11. Don't quit. The only way to fail is if you give up. Remember always..."You are what you think you are"
