We can achieve success faster by putting limits on things that we do everyday. What does this mean you ask? You may be saying, "This guy's an idiot! If I limit myself, I can't achieve my full potential." Hmmmm! The 1st thing YOU should limit is your unwillingness to dig DEEPER!

1. Limit your television time.

Why do we spend countless hours watching the "Time Violator" (T.V to most)? Use your time wisely by reading uplifting books and stop wasting precious time cheering on others living "Their" dream. It's sad that we can tell you who are the finalist on American Idol, or who Flavor Flav chose to be his sidekick. Put down the remote and carry out "Your" dreams.

2. Limit your personal circle.

I have a lot of associates/partners that I've grown up with and we have been through a lot of things growing up. Even now I have associates/partners that are a great group to hang with, but sometimes we found ourselves hanging around doing..."Nothing"...just hanging. Everyone has that circle of friends that do not have the desire to achieve success. This does not mean to disown your friendships so don't get me wrong, but learn to separate your "Nothing" time and your "Doing" time. Spend more time on "You" and your business "now".... so that you can play "later".

3. Limit your spending.

It's nice to have the "bling-bling" or the latest shoes. Having a new Coach purse and a pair of shoes every other WEEK is o.k too...to a degree. Don't keep spending, spending, spending on things you really don't need at the time. Put some money away for things like...

A. Marketing Materials
B. Business Overheads
C. Conventions & Business Meeting Costs
D. Etc...Etc...

And don't treat "credit" as a stepchild or a way to continue getting by either. If something is too expensive for your taste at the time...it's not worth getting until you just "Got it like that"! Until then, stick to this motto..... "Lay-away or "No" way!! Use your money "Wisely."

There is a treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.  Proverbs 22:20 (Alright...let me get out of there):-)

4. Limit the negative arena.

Stop hanging in areas of negativity. Don't allow ourselves to fall for anything that a naysayer may say about your vision like......

A. Negative Chat Rooms & Forums
B. Negative People
C. Negative Television Shows And/Or Literature
D. Etc...Etc...

Have I hit on enough key points to help you in your journey to achieve success? By you not avoiding these things, it will allow "YOU" to kill your vision a whole lot quicker. It's what I call a "Mental Genocide". When you are facing things of such nature, do an "About Face" and RUN! Follow some of these steps and you too, can achieve success.
