			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know the other day I really took a step back and looked at events in my life and the things that were happening at those times. I can honestly say that the reasons for my struggles were the pure results of my actions.</p>
<p>What I meant by that is no matter what venture you set out to accomplish, success is determined by you and your actions. Having the correct frame of mind and making the right decision about matters is very important, however your atmosphere that you choose to surround yourself in is just as important. In an earlier post we discussed the “Mindset”, so in this post I would like to discuss the “Atmosphere” side of this equation.</p>
<p>The people you surround yourself with have a direct affect on how you perceive things around you. If you surround yourself with people who are content with living paycheck to paycheck, you will find <strong>YOURSELF</strong> not striving for more. If you are around the types that are always blaming “others” or “events” for the despair in their lives, <strong>YOU</strong> will never take responsibility for your own actions and want more.</p>
<p>Success, no matter whether it’s in business or in your personal life, starts with <strong>YOU</strong>. If you want more from life, surround yourself with others who share the same interest and pursue the life you want. If something doesn’t work the way you expected, step back evaluate the problem and find a better way of doing it. Don’t blame other people for your failure. Don’t blame events in the world on your lack of success.</p>
<p>I use to be one of these people! I blamed an ex-wife or a girlfriend, I blamed corporations, I even the government. In all reality everything that has happened in my life, is a result of a decision that <strong>I</strong> chose. It wasn’t until I realized this and stopped all the “blaming” that I was able to be successful in my Home Business.</p>
<p>Now I am not saying, by any means, that you should abandon your existing friends because they don’t have the same values as you or they are content in their lives. What I am saying is that you should branch out of your comfort zone and put yourself in situations to meet other people that do have the same values and wants as you. As you become intertwined in this circle of people, your way of thinking will change and you will notice a change in your attitude about yourself, you will develop a <strong>“Can-Do”</strong> attitude instead of a defeated one. This change in attitude will be reflected in your demeanor and the way you carry yourself. It will also affect the decisions you make. These changes will be noticed by your old friends and they will see the success that has started to come into your life. They will start to follow your example. The bond with the true friends that have always been there will be that much stronger.</p>
<p>Successful people do not get defeated because something doesn’t work. They find a better way of doing it and making it work. Successful people surround themselves with success. <strong>Success is a matter of desire</strong>. If you don’t change, your outlook will always be the same.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you set out on any endeavor in your life without the proper mindset, you can almost count on failure. Running a Home Business is no exception to the rule. This is why when I am asked what the number one habit is needed for Home Business Success is I tell the person, it&#8217;s personal development. What I mean by that is every person should commit at least an hour a day to some type of personal development work. I am a true believer that if a person believes they <b>CAN</b> do something they can accomplish anything. There are many factors in a persons life that can serve as roadblocks to success. One of the biggest, or maybe I should say 7 of the biggest are negative emotions. These negative emotions that anyone who want to be successful should work diligently to rid themselves are, Fear, Jealousy, Hatred, Revenge, Greed, Superstition, and Anger. These 7 emotions are major roadblocks that will no doubt halt anyone&#8217;s progress to success. In upcoming blogs we will discuss each one of these emotions and the ways they affect progress.</p>
<p>Here is a great source for personal development that I have found very useful and it&#8217;s really great for the person who lives that busy lifestyle who thinks they can&#8217;t find time to slow down. This is a course by Bob Proctor and it only take 6 Minutes a Day. It&#8217;s called <a href="http://store.sixminutestosuccess.com/?aid=589968" title=" Six Minutes To Success ">&#8220;Six Minutes to Success&#8221;</a></p>
<p>If you would like to know more subscribe to this blog or come back for the next input. </p>
