The Starting Point of ALL Achievement is…

The starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small fire produces a small amount of heat. - Napoleon Hill

The starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small fire produces a small amount of heat. - Napoleon Hill

“The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat.”
— Napoleon Hill, author

So what is it that you desire?

Do you have enough fuel to get you fired about actually achieving what you want? The fuel is your reason why, “Why do you really want this?” The more reasons to achieve something the more fuel you put on the fire, the bigger the fire the more heat is produced and the more likely you are to continue to go after what you want.

You will undoubtedly run into some obstacles along the way, you will get distracted, thus you will want a burning desire in order to continue on the pursuit of achieving your desire.

Merely having desire will not manifest the attainment of that which you desire, but burning desire will lead to the actions which will start you on the path to achievement.

First transform that burning desire in to a definite purpose then into consistent, persistent action in the direction of your desire.

Online Presence Options for Today’s Small Business

The advantages the Internet offers are exponential and can help a small business not only get off the ground, but thrive in a competitive marketplace. But what’s the best way for you to establish an online presence?  Is a website right for your business?  Or are there other ways that better fit your needs?
In this webinar, sponsored by Verisign, we’ll take you through three options you can leverage – professional email using a branded domain name, web forwarding to an alternative web presence such as social media, and creation of a business website.  By the end you’ll understand the ins and outs for these three options, as well as their importance in helping you gain credibility and exposure to your prospective customers.
The goal is to equip you with the information you need to determine an online presence strategy that’s right for your business.

Great presentation.
thank you!
He covered a lot of information, but I would have like go throught presentation a little slower.
Great!!!!
The content was very good. There were problems with the audio for the first 20-30 minutes but then it was fine without it going in and out with the audio. I liked the ability to hear and see the presentation and also asking questions online
This is my second webinar and like the first one I had audio fade out where parts of the presentation could 0t be heard, sometimes up to about 30 seconds of dead air. 0t sure if this is global or just on my pc, but I did find it very aggravating.
“Please talk slower especially when mentioning website url names.
Peope are taking 0tes–or trying to.”
I really appreciate that you put these presentations on and for free. That is so awesome. Presenters are wonderful, k0wledgeable, and they are here to learn us (lol), ok, to teach us. 😉
“Excellent, focused and well done. Would love to have a copy of the slides, since I missed the very beginning of the presentation. Is that possible? THanks, Sandra Elliott

It was very informative.
Describe product/services common on “Facebook” vs. “Pintrest” vs. Linkdin etc.
Dan was great..
It was very good. I would like to see follow up presentations on the topics discussed.
lots of holes but that might be neccessary – (maybe an actual case could help more)
Very informative and helpful info
Even though I’ve had a website for over a year, I learned a lot from this webinar to make changes and encourage more people to come to my site. Great Job!
“Very thought provoking. I think I need some prior info I did 0t have before I listened but I will try to play catch up. I will check the web site to see what is offered. This is my first webinar with SCORE. Thanks a bunch.
I would like to answer 1 to next question but I have a ton on my mind right n0w to process. ”

Fantastic content and expertise demonstrated by speaker
Great information Thank you
excellent speaker, dissapointed 0ne of my questions I posted were answered
It’ is very important to know using social media.
Basics….Nothing new but great perspective
“1 it was very informative, I’d like to thank Mr Dan and score for helping a dummy like me.
I do want a more personal conversation, is anything out there to help one on one that’s low cost or free I need hands on”
Great! Thank You!
Dan was very clear and precise and to the point. Enjoyed this one. Since he did 0t get to my question (and this happened in the last webinar also), it would be great if he could repond briefly to each one he did 0t get to individually as a one time response.
Very well presented. Is there a copy of the presentation that can be sent via email?
Excellent
enjoyed the presentation, just listened
The information today was so helpful. Thank you
This was one of the best webinars regarding the different options for creating an online presence that I have viewed.
Excellent presentation and very good moderation of Q&A session. Questions were well-selected and pertinent and the whole hour had a great flow. Gazelle video was hilarious. I laughed out loud. Smart lions, though! They had a great strategy. Thank you!
is there a way to listen to the webinar again. Unable to take 0tes fast e0ugh
It was what a begginer or a seasoned person needs to hear to start or refresh new learning. Your encouagement on where to research was extremely helpful to learn even more. I will be re-viewing your Webinar to jot down more 0tes and hear you a second time around which always brings out more information from the first presentation.
“This was a good presentation, though I do agree that some aspects of a business web presence or the website development stages can be complex; perhaps, too much so for a meeting of this type.
Overall, every SCORE webinar has been highly satisfactory to me. ”
It was very useful…
Was really helpfull.
It was ok, I do 0t wish to be too harsh, but it was at an extremely basic level
a lot more informative than i was expecting
Timely
I am designing Business Plans for a Network Monitoring company; and I need all the help I can get on anything and everything!
I found the information very helpful. Thanks you for providing this service.

Miserable or Strong?

“We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.”

— Carlos Castaneda, author

 

The work we put into making ourselves miserable is the same amount of work to make us stronger and happier! So why don’t more people focus on getting stronger?

There just seem to be more people that complain and have negative energy all around us. That negative energy is CATCHY! Watch out! When you are around negative people they just suck the life right out of you. They bring you down with them and that’s why it’s so easy to be miserable. Get around people that lift you up, that feel good to be around, that are positive.

We all choose our emotions. We all choose how we react to everything that happens. How are you reacting to life, whether you are going through some tough times right now, just came out of tough times or will soon be going through tough times, how you react and feel about the situation are up to you.

Take responsibility for your feelings and emotions. Realize nothing has meaning until we assign a meaning to, knowing this are there things in your life that you can reassign meaning to so that you win, so that it doesn’t make you miserable.

Choose to be Strong… Choose to be Happy!

Everything is a Miracle…

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. -- Albert Einstein

How are you walking through life?

How do you see the world?

Most people are drifting through life without ever really looking at what is going on around them…Where are they? They are in a fog, a self delusional fog, where they are so focused on the circumstances of their life that and the negative attitude associated with it that they are essentially zombies.

Nothing impresses them. Nothing intrigues them. Nothing sparks their imagination. Nothing gets them to say “Wow! Isn’t that interesting?”

These are the people that life happens to, they are always complaining about how life is so hard, why does this always happen to me, nothing exciting ever really happens.

Wake UP!

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
— Albert Einstein

Look around you!

Do you not see all the amazing things happening in the world, all the technology, the medical advances, everyday nature? Kids are great at this, walking around in curious amazement, asking questions, wondering, imagining. So why does that stop for most people. I don’t think I ever grew up, that is one thing that I never lost. Other parents look at me a wonder “What’s wrong with him? He is the biggest kid on the playground.” Or “Look at him, a grown man sledding down the hill.” But what they think of me is none of my business.

What I find is that when you see everything as a miracle you are much more open to new ideas, different ways of doing everything. You can see things from a different point of view, admit that maybe you don’t have all the answers, which opens the doors to unlimited possibilities.

Open your eyes to the world around you, start imagining again, start questioning. If you aren’t where you want to be and you need to make some changes, start with yourself. Nothing changes until you change. And the only thing that you actually have control over are your thoughts, and the way you see everything in your life. Problem or Opportunities? How you look at everything and how you respond are up to you, take back control and open your eyes to amazing new things.

Change the way you look at life and you will change your life.
