In this short video you can see all my journals completed so far. I have been writing them for a number of years and I do not intend to stop.

How do they help me on my entrepreneurial path?

1. By jotting notes I capture any business ideas that occur at different times, and places,

2. I make notes from books I read, or I intend to read. I also have a separate file with books worth reading at some point.

3. I make notes from videos I watched and found interesting.

4. I add any productivity tips from books, audio-books, podcasts and videos.

What does the M stand for? Which word comes to your mind first? ? There is no a right or wrong answer. It's just a question. Whatever your brain thinks about is hidden under this letter.

There are no shortcuts.

There are no shortcuts.

There are no shortcuts. You need to immerse yourself in whatever you are doing, give it a good try, tweak and tune until you get where you want to be.

Unless you have a rich uncle or was left with lots of money from your inheritance, you have to make sure you are doing everything possible in your life to create ever lasting wealth.

Even if you have some money left to you by your kind ancestors, you are not going to appreciate it as much as money you make yourself. What's more, people left with money are more than likely to lead a life above their means and overspend. Leaving them penniless in their old age.

You may be saying: "Life is not fair." It's not. The sooner you understand it, the better. The universe doesn't have to give you anything. You are not owed anything by anybody.

It's up to you to make sure you are well organized in your life, you have your goals and you put enough work to achieve them.

Does it come easy?

No. What you are reading about people who have been there and have done it is only half of the coin. You rarely hear about their struggle, hardships and determination to make things work.

You could be wondering if it's worth the effort.

Before you answer this question, ask yourself what kind of life you envisage for yourself and your family. After all, we all have just one life. Whatever happens to you, it doesn't matter to anybody else, only to you. Whatever happens to you, you are in charge of your destiny. Decisions that you made in the past cannot be changed. You shouldn't be living in the past. The past is gone and won't come back. What matters is the future and the present time. Whatever actions you take now, will reflect on your future.

So if you are sitting doing nothing, you are not working towards your future. You envy everyone else who has a better life than you, but at the same time you are not doing a single thing to help yourself.
Quite on the contrary.

You become more and more stressed and angry as you are not achieving anything in your life.

But have you set up your goals?

Do you know where are you heading?

You don't have to be a genius to achieve and lead a fulfilling life, but you need to take action.

It doesn't have to be a big action. Nobody is going to expect it of you. Set up a goal and focus on it until you become successful.

It's all about a mindset. You either want to do something and achieve or not. There is nothing in between.

Once you have a goal nicely set up, you need to figure out how to get to this goal. It may mean getting additional qualifications, so going back to school. If it brings you closer to your goal, it is worth doing it.

You don't fail until you give up. Providing you take action every single day, you cannot fail. How many times do you feel you can't carry on? You are bored, exhausted and worn out?


That's why it's worth listening to Motivational Speeches , 
audio books, podcasts and having a mentor. Mentors are facilitators. A good mentor is a person, who went through some hardships and achieved his/her goals and is eager to share his knowledge with you.

Failure or Feedback?

Alonso won the Grand Prix. Massa came second. Hamilton third. So they are winners...they shared the glory and champagne. What about the other drivers? shall we call them losers, just because they didn't come among the top three?

When you are running your business, how many times, honestly, did you feel that you achieved something? How many times did you miss opportunities or you gave them up altogether? Do you persevere in achieving your goals?

Look at the Formula 1 drivers: some of them may feel frustrated and curse their bad luck, but each of them is going to prepare to the best of his ability for the next race, in two weeks' time.

When you start your online business, do not expect results within five minutes. Instead, prepare to work and learn constantly. I have been running businesses for the last eleven years. Some worked, some didn't. Did I call my mistakes failures? No. They were just feedback. Feedback telling me, that certain way of running the business wasn't the right one and should have been changed. I stopped doing business in an uneffective way and turned all my strength into profitable action. And I stuck with my goal, which is financial independance by
April 2013.
If you are expecting a cake on the plate ready for you to eat without putting any effort, you are in for a big surprise. Nothing comes without work and effort. It's up to you to get off the comfortable seat and take action. Go for it!

You can blame the recession and circumstances. You can complain about your background and lack of privilage. It's easy to do, but it takes a lot of stamina to stand against a whole crowd teasing you about your dreams and persevere.

I wasn't born into a privilaged, money filled background. I have never received anything ready to consume. Whatever I achieved, I achieved thanks to my determination and perseverence.
On top of this, I became disabled, due to my illness. How should I feel when I learnt about my incurable illness? Give my life up and stagnate? Or try to achieve my dreams?

It is laughable to hear some people complaining about difficulties they face while setting up their business online.. When you are healthy, nothing is difficult. Even when you go through periods of time, when you feel like giving up, because nothing works, there is always another day.


So be a winner like Formula 1 drivers. Treat failures as feedback and move on. There is always another race...
