New year, new possibilities

New Year

New year and 365 new pages to fill in your life. You have a choice, a choice what to make out of every day this year. Make it a good one.

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” ― Mae West

No matter what you promised that night not long ago, it all comes down to the small choices we do. Every little choice we do determines the future. Many choices are made without you even knowing it. Things we do every day become habits, and habits are hard to change. Especially the bad.

Owes, promises and goals are great. And they become even greater if you write them down and see them every day. But to keep yourself on track you need discipline and hard work. Nothing in life comes easy.

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

So, what are you going to do with the new year and all the possibilities it brings?

For me it is easy. I will just continue on my path and try to do it better every day. I have my passive income streams that slowly but surely builds my future wealth. I am always looking for new ones, but are much more restrictive than before, lessons learned :-)

“Sometimes your best investments are the ones you don’t make” – Donald Trump

I know my weaknesses and strive to improve. Most important for me is sleep, health and relations that still needs to get better. But now I am a much stronger and happier person than I used to be, which helps a lot.

Remember that knowledge is not power. Execution is.

The keys as I see them is still diversification and balance. You need to diversify your investments so that you still stand tall even if one or two fails. This is important in your personal life as well. If I focus on the above three areas and one fails, perhaps because I get sick, the other two will still make me feel proud and make me strong enough to continue.

Balance is equally good to keep in mind since everything always goes either backwards or forward. What you eat you must consume, what you spend you must earn etc.

New Year

Take care now and let us together make this year the best ever…

Snowy greetings from a cold, but beautiful Sweden.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year

Merry Christmas and a happy new year I wish to you all. Take the time to enjoy life and spend time together.

Merry Christmas

Christmas in Sweden is a christian tradition that is commonly celebrated even though most here are not religious. Normally Christmas is related to a lot of snow, building snowmen and throwing snowballs. But this year Christmas was green as if it was still autumn.

Merry Christmas

But then finally yesterday snow finally started to fall down as it should :-)

Merry Christmas

When I start to think about what has happened in 2015 it is like a roller coaster. Many bad and frightening things has happened in the world with tyrannies, terrorism, crisis, fugitives etc. But we are still here and time passes on. We can only try to help as much as we can.

Personally it has not been a great year. Too little exercise, sleep and good reading. Too much unhealthy eating, gaming and time wasting unfortunately. But physiologically I feel a lot stronger, and relations have been improved. Economically I have improved my incomes and assets greatly.

Plan for next year is to keep up the good work and improve health.

Whats your plan and reflection?

Merry Christmas and a happy new year everyone :-)

Regards

Today is the day

Today is the day to take action. Today is the day that shapes your destiny. Today is the day that counts, because you newer know what happens tomorrow.

Paris

My deepest condolences and sympathies to foremost the French people, the Turkish people and the families and loved ones of the victims. But we can not dwell on the past and circumstances that is out of our control. Bad things will always happen to us and others, but we can only learn from them and go by. All your prevous mistakes and all the misfortunes that happens must become lessons and memories to learn and grow from. The same goes for worries of what could happen in the future. Make plans to deminish the risks you see but do not dwell on them.

We can only fokus on what is here and now. Make dreams and plans for the future but take action to reach them today. It can be small things, it can be ridicoulus things. The only thing that matters is that you do it. Today is the day to take action, not tomorrow…

If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got. Do something different!

Take me for example:

My site, this site, My dreamtutorial will become the portal and home for anyone and everyone having an online adventure. To accomplish this I make small improvements every day. It can be a post, a link to something inspirational, a new page, a change in the header, a new welcome mail to my subscribers. As long as I do something every day it grows, and I grow with it.

My businesses: By reaching out to new people, by doing the tasks I am supposed to, by repurchasing and by implementing new ideas it grows little by little. As of now my passive income grows by aproximately one dollar every day. May not be much, but a dollars growth increasing every day will make next summer extremely pleasant. And my investments grows even more :-)

What about you?

Do you have a dream, a project or a plan that you can realise by doing the daily little things. Or do you dwell on the things that you can´t control instead? Forget the past and embrace the future. Contact me and we can make it together. I can be your mentor and I can be your pupil. We always have something to learn from each other.

Today is the day that starts the rest of you life. Make it a good day

Start by putting your energy on areas that works, preferably where your passion lies. On things where results are easy to see. Then by celebrating and feeling good about your small successes you get power to take on more things. Before you realize it you are starting to see improvements in all areas of life. Just make sure you take action on stuff thats needs to be taken care of, not only the easy ones. For me working online has been a rollercoaster with many ups and downs. If something does not work for me today, I just shift to whatever works for me better instead. Everything goes in cycles and every bussiness encounter problems from time to time. By sleeping on it, the problem often get solved by itself.

To your success

Diversify focus to ensure results

Diversify focus to ensure results. What if you only focus on one thing, and that doesn’t work? Would that not feel discouraging, and even be a reason to quit?

diversification

In my last post (make yourself useful) I wrote about developing your skills.  When you do, you need to focus. It is impossible to quit smoking, go on a diet and start exercising at the same time. But if you can choose different areas in your life and focus on one thing in each area, then it becomes much easier and your chance of success increases.

As an example:

  • Health: To improve your health you choose to focus on getting adequate sleep, or to eat less sugar.
  • Relations: You focus on being happy and loving every time you come home, and surprise with a gift sometimes. Or you could decide to be totally present, without your phone, whenever your family is around you.
  • Work: Here is your focus on being “prompt” and prepared all the time.
  • Personal development: You read from a “good book” and write your plans and checklists every day. Alternatively you work on your skills to set up a blog, write a post or learn to understand SEO etc.

By doing all this but only focus on one single thing for each area of your life, you diversify focus. And the best thing about it is that you will always have something to celebrate and feel good about. Success feeds success. If it is habits that we are working on you must remember that it takes 14 days straight to learn them. After that and not before, you can choose to work on a new habit. If it is a hard habit to break or implement, try a 30-day challenge :-)

It is all about growing and replacing bad habits with good ones. If you don’t grow you shrink. If you constantly work on your habits you will slowly but surely change your life completely. You can read all about your habits and how it can change your life in the book “The Slight Edge“. I wrote 2 posts about that book a while ago: “The slight edge by Jeff Olson” and “Applying “The slight edge”.

The slight edge new

Take care and grow,

Best regards

Find your flow, find your success

I have been reading and studying personal development for more than a year now and a conclusion starts to form.

If you compare the greatest names and their discoveries you can see that they are all connected and that everything is built around the same core. But everyone has their special field and if I try to generalize them it can sound like this:

Tony Robbins is very good at helping you find the why and purpose in life. Jack Canfield is very practical around general success and Less Brown is all about motivation. Then there is Jeff Olssen who encourage you to take baby steps all the way to heaven, and Napoleon Hill who wants you to be a man of infinite vision and definite action. Joe Vitali should not be forgotten who wants you to buy success from him through his mentors and his music. Zig Ziglar practice the salesman’s successes efficiently and Mark T Ecker wants to tune your mindset into being a millionaire.

There are off course many others, but these are the ones who comes to my mind right now of the ones that I have been studying. And we shall not forget the “secret”, the Law of Attraction that is so hyped.

What do they all have in common? :

It is your mind and your mindset that is the key to your success

The thought of meditation and visualizing that many speaks about feels a bit strange for a “learning by doing guy” that I am. I think it is easier to think about it as to get the right feeling for what you do, especially since thoughts and feelings combined are the strongest way to set your mindset in the right state for success.

I am 100% convinced that the only thing you will need to find success and happiness in your life is to find your flow. And what do I mean by flow. Well if you think back and remember a time when you had a success streak in any area of your life, then you know what I mean. For me it´s easiest to associate with sports, for example golf. Where you  succeed several holes in a row and begins to just play only based on your feelings and not thinking about anything else than your present and future success. Not thinking about the past, not thinking about how, not thinking about when, just playing and feeling great. Just seeing the ball rolling into the hole.

And how can we achieve such a feeling of flow in our lives?

By throwing away your backpack, set sail for new adventure and start exploring.

If you start your journey by applying Tony Robbins advice’s for purpose in life, then you will now why and get the strength to start.

Then you need to face reality as it is. What are your current situation, how did you get here and what can you do to get going? This will make you see things clearly and make sure you are true and honest to yourself, if you listen.

Now we need some inspiration, and by listening to Lesley Brown we can start to move mountains.

To get your journey started just pick up the Slight Edge and start by doing the small changes that slowly improves your life. Ask yourself constantly, is there anything that I should do that can be done? Write to do lists of all the things that comes to your mind and start to do them one by one. Make yourself a new habit of never keeping anything undone, then you won’t have to have a bad conscience any more. And by freeing yourself from that “backpack” you can start to look ahead, what else can I do?

Now start to form new habits that are good for you. Maybe quit something bad like nicotine, added sugar, candy etc. Or maybe start something healthy like taking the bicycle to work, or taking long walks regularly? The easiest way to form new habits are by taking 30 day challenges and write about your progress along the way. By doing so it gets real, in printing and hard to avoid. Also easy to find reasons to celebrate your small successes along the way.

And now the fun part begins. When you start recognizing your successes you can start to ride them like waves. One area of success can be a motivation for another area that needs improvement and when having more successes you are likely to fall into the flow. Just starting to feel great and your thoughts becomes emotions and you become unstoppable…

Find you flow, find your success

Good luck

Applying “The Slight Edge”

In December last year I wrote a post about a great book, “The Slight Edge” by Jeff Olsen. This post has recently received good feedback and even a request on a follow up post. So today I will make a follow up post to “The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson”.

What is “The Slight Edge? To summarize it down to it’s core, you can describe it as actions that affects your own life’s scale. Are you moving up or down?

Applying The Slight Edge

A picture can say more than a thousand words. The above picture can be used as a map, a map to success that speaks for itself. There are 3 things in particular that stands out in this picture:

  • First we have the 5% versus 95%, which represents the number of successful versus unsuccessful people (not becoming or attaining what they really want and dream about etc).
  • Then we have the “Easy to do” versus the “Easy not to do”, that states the reason for successful results to be the summary of all the good things you actually do.
  • And last we have the core, YOUR MIND

When I started my journey, my only focus was money. But it did not take me long to realize that without working with my mind first, I would not see any successful progress. Greed and fear was constantly fighting to be in focus and thoughts constantly switched in between, causing catastrophic results.

When I started to work on myself, instead of working on every shiny object coming in my way, I finally started to understand how to proceed and how to bring meaning into my life. I had been wondering about life’s purpose since over 15 years, and now it just hit me like a lightning.

To wander without a purpose is like traveling without a map. You see something you like and just go there without a thought, all the time. Ending up going in circles without getting anywhere. Even though I had a goal, to make money, it was very hard to get there (not to say impossible).

But after cruising around, failing and making mistakes I eventually started to get some clarity to where I was heading and how I could get there. My goal was still to make money but with purpose shifted the goals got multiplied and divided into short term and long term. If you only have a long term goal you will have to wait so long to celebrate, the chance of giving up before that is huge. And if  you only have one goal, what will you do when you reach it? Make sure you have many goals to be able to celebrate the small successes along the way. And make sure to have many goals to always keep striving, don’t you ever get comfortable.

And it is actually here that the slight edge comes in as a life saver:

theslightedge disciplines

 

When you are working towards your small goals, big goals and towards your purpose you must use a system to survive and to get progress. A system to make constant improvements and growth. The slight edge is that system. By doing the small things every day and not giving up you get forward. By being disciplined and steadfast you will grow and grow beyond your imagination. Only the sky is the limit.

How do I start then?

Well. Let’s say that you know nothing, and don’t know where to start and don’t know anyone to ask. Then instead of starting by doing mistakes, as I did, you should read. You should read at least 3 different books about personal development in order to get life purpose, strength and confidence enough.

OK, so now we have goal. Read three books! Sounds fun and easy, could be done in a couple of months or so… Not to inspiring and not a simple task, ha? But if we change it to be in alignment with the slight edge, how would we do it then?

Well, then we would need a purpose first. For example: To learn more about our selves, to grow, to gain confidence and to get inspired.

Then we would need a way to do it: Read or listen to books and speeches about personal development.

Then we need a system to make it happen: Read at least 10 pages or listen 20 minutes every day.

OK, so what would happen then. The purpose makes me understand the real reason for doing this. The planned way make it possible. The system makes it fun, measurable,  successful, consistent and the goals makes it easy and possible to accomplish.

Can you understand the difference? Just to set one goal and try to reach it is not so easy, but if you do it the “Slight Edge way” it can be both easy and inspiring.

Next step can be to start writing down your ideas like I do. By writing at least one post a week, in a year I will have written more words than i would writing a novel. Hows that for training?

Or it can be taking on a challenge to break or start a habit. That is a perfect way to build some character and confidence. Could be done as a 30 day challenge. And if you apply a little of the slight edge with purpose, celebrating small successes and everyday tasks, you will have lots of fun doing it. Se these posts as examples: “30-day challenge“, “Next 30-day challenge: 30 days without nicotine as a start of my new addiction free life“.

Oops, time flies and I need to wrap this up,

Take care and stay hungry

The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson

Last week a dear friend of mine gave me a tip on a great book she was currently reading. She encouraged me to read the Slight Edge by Jeff Olson, because it might change it all…

It did not take long before I started to read, and boy did I get stuck or what! The best reading I had encountered this year by far.

The Slight Edge is all about how to approach you own life. We are actually living it, so why not make it good? By daily doing the easy little things that makes you move forward in life you can accomplish great things in the long run. For example, read 10 pages of a “good” book every day and you will have the knowledge from 10 “good” books in just a year. Start making 10 push-ups every day, and then increase a little every week. How many pushups do you think can be made then in a year? And how do you think that will affect your body? Imagine that you just add some sit ups and stretching as well, and when feeling stronger maybe add some regular outdoor exercise. What would happen to your body then? The possibilities are endless.

There is a lot of discussions about doing what 95% of all people would not do, because there are only 5% that succeeds in fulfilling their goals and live a successful life. Most people quit, because they want to see the results instantly. But the trick is to endure and be patient enough to understand and see the long term goal and benefits.

The Slight Edge was actually perfect for me because it wraps up everything I have been doing this year and gives me the strenght and courage to continue. Last year  in december I decided to quit gaming and gambling, as well as nicotine. To start doing some good with life again, to start moving forward again. For over 10 years everything had been about the kids and about work. It had been so easy just to flee reality with games or tv…

So last year I decided to start over and began by searching the internet for information about trading and making money online. It turned out that I was not the only one. Everyone seemed to be on the same hunt and everyone seemed to be fooled in one way or another. All kind of trading was tried out, but emotions made it too hard. A better way to begin seemed to be by joining Empower Network, which I did. There I found a lot of good educations and there I started blogging. Unfortunately everything was about sales, and that was  both a disappointment as well as “not for me”.

So far I have only found two good things, but the Tube Cash Code is also about sales and that seems to be against my philosophy so there is only Better Living left. But if I can keep up the good work and continue to explore and learn I might find more. If I could only find one good thing every year, then my retirement would become a dream.

Join me in my struggle and share your visions. What are you aiming at and what works for you? Do you have any suggestions for me?

Next thing I am wondering about is if there is any possibility of getting a robot working for you in trading forex or stocks? Is there anyone out there actually working. Is “Fap Turbo 2”  working? How do I manage my virtual server?

Hmm, there are a lot of questions to get answers on and this is what I will dedicate next year to. By taking babysteps everyday and learn it all piece by piece.

Please make comments and join me here or at Facebook, Google+ etc.

Take care and carry on,

/Peter
