What Does it take to Create Success? ~ Action!

by Corey Blackmur Blackmur Global
Your level of success is equal to your belief in yourself along with your level of action.

It may not be easy to achieve your dreams, it may well be a fight and a struggle. As well you're likely to experience rejection. But believing in yourself and fighting for your dreams and goals is a fight you won't regret.

It's time to get out of your routine, get out of your rut, get out of the mediocrity because you were not put on this earth for mediocrity. You were put on this earth to achieve your dreams and goals, now you just have to believe that and take action.

Believe in yourself to achieve great things and to realize your dreams.  It is up to each of us to realize our dreams and goals, unfortunately, too many people live their lives filled with excuses. Excuses are there to allow us to live small.

Quit living small!

Since becoming an Apsense member in November of 2010, I have become associated with many of the members here.  I have had more involvement and connections with some than others. Of these members I see the efforts they put forth in order to achieve their dreams and goals.  I have come to have great respect and admiration for these people and what they stand for.

I really see the following people as those that do not live small, they believe in themselves, they believe in others, they have taken action towards what they believe in, and offer their knowledge and value to others. It is because of people like these that make others lives easier and our ability to build our own businesses a much easier road to take.

I will apologize for the ones that I may not have included as I am sure there are others (as a matter of fact I know there are), that being the case, please add your input in the comments section, so without further adieu and in no particular order:

Wow... Nice list!

Thanks for putting my name among these people.

I suggest you get to know Tony Denson, if it's not already the case. In no time, you will add him to your list.

That's agreeable Corey. I may not have read the postings of all the people you enumerated, but I'm sure they are all great in their own talents. Most of the people whose postings I've read are really great and their contributions to APSense are remarkable, their informations are useful and really help all members at their best.

Thank you for your comments Allan (Paris), as you say it can be difficult to catch everyone's postings throughout the site. The ones on this list as well as others do contribute positively to this site; I think its worth it to check them out here on their profiles when you have time to do so.

@Scott and Philippe, you definitely both deserve the mention, along with the others you both contribute to this site as well as to myself when I've been looking for input.

@Ginny and Philippe - I knew there were people that I would forget, i's like accepting an award we always forget some, that's why my statement in the article:

"I will apologize for the ones that I may not have included as I am sure there are others (as a matter of fact I know there are), that being the case, please add your input in the comments section,"

And yes Ginny, you do offer much value to Apsense as well, I have taken away knowledge from your input since becoming a member...

Well, instead of telling you what to do, Corey, I will add Ginny's name to my own list that I update from time to time, cause Ginny has become a very good friend in the past few weeks :)

Cool list, the danger in creating lists is that you always leave someone off, lookin around, lol. Great post Corey.

I believe more people should do such lists, Paul, it reinforces the "family" sentiment at APSense, and it shows to other members who you like to deal with, if a member likes you, he/she might start relationships with the people on such a list as well

It doesn't matter if you forget people, such a list can be updated :)

@ Paul - any suggestions as to people on your Apsense list that you feel add value that should be added.....That's part of why I put this article together, feedback and interest..........I look forward to your input as well as others.

I have added Ginny to the list;

Corey,
You could not have made a better statement,after all if we don't believe in our self,then we can not expect anyone else to believe in us, if we don't believe in our self first."Success is failure turned inside out."

@ Debbie; great input thanks,,,,,,,,

I hope you don't mind but I just want to expand on your "Success is Failure turnded inside out" statement.

To me - failure is part of success - as "failure" (so to speak) is part of the experience and learning process you go through on your road to success. Failure is only failure if you quit striving towards the dreams and goals you have for your success.

Do you have anyone from your contacts here at Apsense you believe should be part of the list, if so let me know and lets add them.

Without failure, there is no success! Thanks for the add Corey. It wasn't neccesary, but it's much appreciated!
