The sad and frightening truth about online business is that most individuals fail. Their websites, blogs, forums, and newsletters never get the sales they need. Research shows that 95 percent on online entrepreneurs will fail this year. Easy math shows us that only five out of 100 will turn a profit with their online business. That is a terrifying number, and for those wanting to make serious profits with the Internet, it would be wise to take a look at the winning 5%.

As a...

Iran is taking advantage of the Iraq situation. The U.S., the largest and most powerful nation in the world, has become bogged down in a war similar to Vietnam. High casualties and we can't stop the insurgents. As stated on CNN -"they come out of nowhere, set bombs and traps, and then disappear. Its a real mess." The situation in Iraq has U.S. ratings on everything from George Bush to the economy at an all time low. Iran is seeing this as the best opportunity to push the...

Back in May '07 I became a Reiki master. Years before I had become a Reiki 1 and 2 practitioner as I had wanted to heal other people. I did both courses in the same weekend. I'd been asking myself for years "What can I do in order to help other people heal?"

The thought that I may need healing myself was never a factor in my process or decision to study Reiki. I soon knew that Reiki worked as I'd had a very profound experience after my initiation. This had followed...

"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence."
-Helen Keller
The power of your Faith is effective only when you are willing to risk whatever the situation demands of you and in whatever you attempt to do. Whether it's freedom from illness, finding material wealth, and experiencing life itself, without a certain amount of risk, your faith is inactive. You are not testing its secret power.
Whenever you are...

"I love the smell of work!"—William James Orr, age 4

My wife and one of my grandsons were driving past the construction site of a new interstate highway overpass, redolent of excavated earth, diesel fumes, cement, and tar.

Four-year-old William took a deep breath, exhaled, sighed, then made that passionate remark about loving "the smell of work." Then he added, "It's really the smell of dirt. That's why I love to dig!"

I know just...

Do you feel powerful? Do you feel as if you could tap into a well of power, and that whatever you set your mind to will come to pass?

Fact is, you are created to be very powerful. When Adam was created, God told him to name all the animals and have dominion. Naming your child, a pet, or a company denotes ownership. It allows you to have complete control over it. He was given everything it would take to be a success. Furthermore, God made you in His image. Can you imagine the power...

In my first book - Advance to Go, Collect $1Million - I describe a lot of my influences growing up. A large one of these being that both my parents were declared bankrupt.

The book shows that this while at the time having a really negative impact on my life actually was a turning point for me in terms of changing my outlook and giving me the much needed skill of perspective. That is being able to look upon most situations and give them a positive perspective.

Have you ever heard the expression be careful what you wish for? Or have you ever been accused of "daydreaming" or "being too much in your head"? Mind power scares people. That is partly why those phrases are said. When you develop a conscious relationship with your own mind it is like bringing home a giant super-computer and starting to actually use it.

Things are going to change in your life when you do that! You already have a powerful mind. However you...
