Succeeding is Simple

Succeeding is simple. I can tell you that after reaching a level of success myself. I currently work full time from home about 20 to 25 hours a week. I love what I do and feel like I am probably one of the luckiest guys around. However, I didn't always feel this way. It wasn't until I started working for myself and having success did I begin to realize how lucky I am.

One day I decided to take a afternoon walk in the middle of the day, it was beautiful out. While on my walk I started think about all the freedom I get to enjoy working form home. Then wondered why more people didn't work for themselves. Then I started thinking about all the statistics that show how many people fail at things like starting their own business. Maybe it was the fear of failing that kept most people from trying, I didn't know. I started to go back and focus on what helped me to succeed. I wasn't an extraordinary person, I made very average grades in school, I even failed out of college at one point, but some how I eventually did have success.

How did I succeed? The single biggest reason for my success was my education. I learned how to have success working from home. I don't necessarily mean formal education like college but rather an education that came from a strong desire to improve my lifestyle and to eventually have the freedom that allowed me to take walks in the middle of the day not worrying about what a boss might say. For me that education came from Dani Johnson and her training seminars First Steps to Success. Now there is even more training with our organization Decide Freedom International (DFI). DFI, provides training over live conference calls and at live events like the one coming up in July. You can get more details here http://www.dfipromo.com/.

Being able to have some place that I could consistently tune into, some place that whenever I had a question I could always get it answered. That was literally how I ended up having success and how I continue to grow my success. I know if something new pops up in my business I can hop on an Open Forum call and the host on that call will be able to help me get my question answered. Being humble, even though I have had success and have a team of people that I am working with, and knowing that I still have more to learn. This is the reason why I continue to learn from Dani Johnson and will likely continue to learn from her for the rest of her career and mine.

The moral of the story is simple if you want to succeed from home find someone who has done it and follow their every step. Also find out where they learn from, just like I tell my team that I learned from Dani Johnson and DFI. I tell them to plug into the same systems that I used to get educated on this business. If a college flunky can succeed at this and earn over $190,000 working part time in his first two years then I promise, so can you.
