1. Timing: Being at the right place at the right time.
2. Having Vision: Seeing potential in what is being presented. Having the ability to see success.
3. Taking Action: Going one step further than the rest. Doing instead of saying.

These three "keys" are essential to recognize success, and to make it a part of your life. Now, once you have made the decision to "Take Action," your next task is to follow what I call "The Ten Steps To Success." They are very simple, but extremely important if your purpose is to achieve true wealth and become a Virtual Millionaire. They are as follows:

1. Create a plan: It is essential to know what you are going to do before you do it. Doesn't it make sense? Yes, it makes a lot of sense, yet so many people every day do things not knowing what they are doing. They start building a house without a firm foundation. If you asked any of the richest personalities in the world how they became so successful, I am very sure that a part of their answer would be that they had an effective plan of action. In other words, they knew everything they had to do to get what they wanted.
   
   
2. Set deadlines to accomplish what you plan: Besides creating a plan, it is also very important to set deadlines to accomplish each one of your goals described in your plan. In other words, you should always assign final dates to the different goals that you have and not let anything interfere in the completion of these goals by such dates. This will allow you to avoid a mental "disease" that every human being possesses: Laziness!!! That is right. Laziness is a mental "disease" that affects even the richest man in the world. This is why setting deadlines is so important. It is extremely important that you complete them and accomplish them on time. This will determine your success.
   
   
3. Do not waste time: It is important that from this moment on you start accounting for your time. You should consider every day as if it were the last day of your life. Why? Well, if you do this, you would not want to waste any time on things that are not worth spending time on. Do you get my point? Each and every minute of your life should be used in the wisest way possible. Very often we hear people saying that they have no time to do anything other than work and pay the bills. When we hear something like this, we know for sure that they are wasting their time. How do we know this? Very simple; if you observed around you will see many of your friends are very busy in their career.They work 16 hours a day. They did not have any time to do anything other than work, pay their bills, sleep, and have a little family reunion once in a while. Nobody would think that a man working 16 hours a day could be wasting his time. But in reality it is. They were actually wasting 16 hours a day. They were throwing away 16 hours of their lives every day. I work between 5 to 7 hours a week; the rest of my time is free time. And you know what? I am not wasting any second of it and I am making 30 times the money than I was making when I was like them working 16 hours a day. This is what I mean when I tell you not to waste time.
   
   
4. If you have any contact with negative people, you are going to have to shut them out: There is nothing more frustrating than to have a conversation with negative people. They have a negative response to everything we say. The best way to deal with them is not to deal with them at all! That is right, and you should do just that.From now on, whenever you notice any negativity in anybody you speak with, get away or simply tell them that you are sorry but you can no longer have any kind of contact with them. It may sound kind of harsh and rude, but believe me, negative people can and will bring you down only by talking to you. Have you ever bought a pair of shoes that you thought were the best, and all of a sudden after some friend of yours tells you that they look really bad, you do not wear them anymore or you feel some kind of shame when you do? This is just a minor example of how negative people can influence you. Imagine what they could do if you let them influence you in your financial life. From now on, do not let negative people get in your way to success. Shut them out!
   
   
5. Stop listening to people unless they are doing better than you: This is just a story to illustrate the point.
   A long time ago someone got this idea of getting involved in the stock market. He did not know anything about it (He still don't know much) and therefore he decided to consult a financial advisor whose number he had found in a newspaper. After they talked for a while, the financial advisor got him really excited! The financial advisor said that he knew a way of getting $500,000 with just a $125 investment in stocks, but it would cost $2,000 for him to reveal that secret. The man found that very strange because if the financial advisor knew the "secret" to make $500,000 with only $125, why would he be working in a old and ugly office, driving a real mess of a car, and wearing really discolored clothes? It seemed to the man like the advisor was going through a lot of financial difficulties. Anyway, he decided to give it a try. he tried several times what the advisor had told him but it did not work at all. A few months later, he went back to the financial advisor's office. As soon as he got there, he found out that the advisor had closed it because he had gone broke. The advisor had actually filed bankruptcy! Today, the man remembered that experience and he admit that it was all his own fault listening to the advisor.What was he thinking? The financial advisor's office was terribly abandoned, his car looked like it was ready to be thrown away, and yet he was offering him a secret to make $500,000 with a $125 investment.
   
   From that day on, he promised myself that he was not going to listen to anybody unless they were doing better than he was. If you get the moral of the story you should from now on, do not listen to anybody unless they are doing better than you! You can get their opinion, you can hear what they are saying, but you cannot let them influence you. On the other hand, if they are doing better than you, then they probably know a little bit more, they have a little bit better attitude, and they probably have a little more experience.
   
   So remember, from now on, do not listen to anybody unless they are doing better than you! You will eliminate a lot of problems.
   
   
6. Have fun: Enjoy what you do. The probabilities are that right now you do not enjoy what you are doing to make a living. To me, that is understandable because I do not believe in working for a living; I believe in working for the fun of working. Does that sound crazy? I am sure it does. Let me explain it to you. Years ago I used to work for a living. I hated it of course, but I had to do it otherwise I was not going to have any food on the table. Today, I work for the fun of working. Sure there are other reasons other than fun (reasons like recognition), but to be honest, if it was not for the fun, I would not work at all. I would probably be traveling the world all year long. But no! Even though I do not need to work anymore, I still do it because I have fun doing so. I am very sure that once you stop working for a living you will realize what I am talking about. Of course to be working for the fun of working, you need to be doing something that is fun doing. T be successful you will have to learn that work can actually be fun! If you like playing tennis, you will have fun at it if you think of work the same way you would think of a tennis match, you will have great fun at it. I guarantee it!
   
   I know that you are used to the hard life, and the long hours of work. This is why this whole idea of having fun may sound like nonsense to you. Again, do not worry! Once you start experiencing the easy part of life and the 5 to 7 hours of work per week, like what I am doing, you will surely realize what having fun in life is all about.
   
   
7. Have a good attitude: A good attitude is "priceless". You should have a good attitude towards anything that you do in life, even towards the things that go wrong and towards your mistakes. Yes, a good attitude even towards your mistakes. I am sure you have been told that you should learn from your mistakes. Have you been told this? Or at least, have you heard this? Well, it is very true. On your way to true wealth, it is very likely that you will make some mistakes. But who doesn't? We all do; we are all human beings; the key is to have a good attitude towards them and to truly learn from them. Personally, I make mistakes everyday, but because of my good attitude, they do not affect me at all. What I try to do is to make a lot more accurate decisions than mistakes. When this happens, I literally feel like I have done everything perfectly even though I have made a few mistakes. This is also what you should do. Once you have this kind of attitude towards life you will notice the change! This is why I urge you to have a good attitude. But do not start tomorrow, or the day after; start RIGHT NOW!
   
   
8. Take care of your health: I am sure you realize how important your health is. Without it, having all the money in the world would be worthless because you would not be able to enjoy it. I have heard so many stories of people who work so hard to accumulate money, and once they become wealthy, they die of a heart attack, or cancer, or are condemned to live in a hospital for the rest of their lives. This is not what you want, nor what I want for you. True wealth is about having all the money that you could possibly want in a lifetime along with the time to enjoy it. This is why you should take care of yourself. Do healthy activities; exercise; eat healthy food. I know that you probably do not have the time right now to do all these activities, but hopefully soon you will have it. When you do, please take care of yourself. I urge you to take care of your health and the health of your loved ones so that all of can enjoy true wealth when you need only to work 5 to 7 hours a week..
   
   

9. Stop thinking job: Most of us are taught since we are kids that the rule in life is to have a job. Most of us go to school, then we go to a university or college, we get a degree, and finally we get a job for the rest of our lives (others simply jump from school straight to a job). Are you one of these people? Probably. Do you think this is the right way to live life? If you say yes, you are Wrong! Life is not about a job. There is no way you are ever going to be truly happy with a job; I do not care how good it is. I am sure of this because you cannot be happy when you are working for someone else; you cannot be happy when you have to get to your office or place of work every day at 8 o'clock in the morning or otherwise you will get fired; you cannot be happy when you have to ask your superior for permission to take a week off. I mean, what kind of life is this? Where is the freedom? Where is the happiness? You have to get out of this way of thinking and living. Believe me, you will not find true wealth with any kind of job, I do not care what it is. The only way you will ever find true wealth is if you are the owner and judge of your actions, and this is only achieved when you become the owner of your business. I know what you are thinking. You are probably saying: "I need a lot of money and time to have my own business." Relax! The kind of business that I am talking about is not that kind of business that you are used to. It is actually very different and revolutionary. It is a new concept that you probably have not heard of before. For now, I just want you to stop thinking job! You want to be able to go where you want when you want to; you want to be able to work wherever and whenever you feel like working; you want to have the freedom to decide what to do for the rest of your life. There is no way you can do all this if you are stuck to a job. I guarantee it. You can still keep your job but take Action to change it. Therefore, from now on:
   
   Start your own Internet Home Business.
