I am currently reading a book called “Leverage tour time balance your life

by John Ingram Walker MD, and yesterday one line in particular

leapt out of the page at me…

You are what you do!!!

Only actions determine your value. To achieve your goals you need to act now!

Without action your goals are merely dreams and pretty worthless at best.

After I thought about it for a while it made total sense.

We can ‘think’ and ‘dream’ all we want,

but if we don’t take action then we are simply not going to achieve anything – ever.

Why is action so important?

Your activities become habits. Habits become your character.

Your character becomes your destiny. Doing the right things right minute by minute,

hour by hour, day by day develops strength of character that leads to success after success.

And no one can do that but you!

No ‘Guru’, professional trader or coach. Only you can take action.

You might need a guide to give you some direction overall,

but only you can determine your actions, and thereby determine your future.

Keep your eye on the prize!

Keeping your eyes on the dream will make your goals, activities and habits

a lot more enjoyable as well. You need to give your best to each activity,

but without a clear objective in mind these daily routines become

meaningless and boring and soon you lose direction altogether.

How do I do this? I have a daily” mantra”…

You are what you do; therefore do what’s right; do it well; and do it now!!!

Not sure if this will help you at all but I believe we need a plan to tackle each day.

If you are lacking a bit of direction then try repeating this for a week or two

and see how effective it is.

You quickly start to address daily ‘chores’ in a totally refreshing light,

and realise just how much time you waste ignoring what’s really important.

Also, check out James’s latest.

Now I know James tends to bore quickly himself, and move on to other projects

before he completes them, and the last few times he tried to get to 50k

he got to around 11k and then went off and started something else.

But, quite frankly if you get to 11k with him you would not have done half bad,

especially as there are no monthly fees this time around.

No doubt you will also be in a far more focused and meaningful place

then you might be right now, if you apply what you learn in context to what is outlined above.

So check out…

P.S. The zero monthly fee offer is limited to the first 100
traders. This year will be more exciting, more profitable
and more powerful than ever.
