Now imagine if you could apply that same euphoria to everyday happenings. Well, there's nothing that your mind won't accept if it's repeated often enough over and over. Problem is that we generally tend to focus on not so good. There it is in a nutshell, what your mind is used to seeing is how it will ultimately operate. I mean to say, how would you cope at our earlier sun watching celebration if cold was too much of a challenge?

Giving up is not something I really have in me and it really stems from wanting to change and improve things until I'm happy with them. I mention this because if you're starting out in a business there will be times of frustration where you'll think nothing is working or going right. Bottom line though, you can only get better. From where ever it is that you actually start, chances are you will only get better, and over time most always you will improve further.

It's fairly important then to apply as many of those good things that make us see that special place, into our normal day to day thinking; so that they then become normal rather than highlights. A series of holes in one if you will.

This applies not only in your business dealings mind you, but into every facet of living because it's exactly this mindset that uplifts and brings success. The trick is to place it on auto pilot and keep it there.

So if you ever need a reference to stay your mind from an unshakeable negative, spare a thought for our erstwhile inhabitants in our Artic North and find yourself a better place that works for you.

Take a few minutes each hour and progressively go over all of those things that are good and right with you. In no time at all you'll have that sun coming up at end of a long hard winter....and it will be all that you see. Apply that to your business and there's no conceivable frustration that will derail you from getting ahead.

Alexa's data come from a large sample of several million Alexa Toolbar users; however, this is not large enough to accurately determine rankings of sites with fewer than roughly 1,000 total monthly visitors.

Generally speaking, traffic rankings of over 100,000 should be regarded as not reliable because amount of data that Alexa has available is not statistically significant.

Who said emperor is wearing no clothes?

With questionable current accuracy of two of hallowed benchmarks of search popularity, where does that leave us? It leaves us exactly where we should have been in first place, not obsessing over Google Page Rank or Alexa Traffic Rank, but instead focusing on most important thing of all...and that is, what is your position in listings when a person searches for your key words.

For both search engines and real estate, it's all about location, location, location!
