Heck even if your goal is to win lottery it can’t happen unless you take action to go put a lotto ticket in!

When I truly desire something, I look for a drive. What will push me to take action? Usually I find that drive through envisioning end result. With marketing I knew that my income would be based upon my efforts, I knew that I could choose my work hours. I knew that I wouldn’t have to slog it out in that 9 to 5 job everyday anymore. I knew that I could help others on a whole new different level. And I also knew that I could build a better life for my family.

That’s when my desires lead to action! I knew rain hail or shine I was going to accomplish this! Did I fall flat on my face before I reached my goal? Heck yes! Several times… I got back up, dusted myself off and jumped back on wagon.
