LIFE’S A PUZZLE
Since my last “post” I have figured a number of things out.
First, you can’t always do everything you’d like — so it’s even more important to ”use” a daily prioritized planning list — Alex Jeffreys referred to this in his very first teaching module. I’ve used one for many years, but must admit — not as productively as I could have – until recently. In fact, I feel that I have accomplished more in the last three weeks (relating to I.M.) than I have in the last year.
Second, and even worse, you can’t begin to learn as much as you’d like — as fast as you’d like ; that’s why this support group of like-minded individuals — so willing to help each other — is so POWERFUL.
You see, it’s all just a PUZZLE — and just like any puzzle, you have to determine which pieces go where. It’s not always easy, but that’s part of the “getting” it all together; the same with life. Oh how much easier it would be if it was all just “paint by numbers” – but it’s NOT — so get over it, and keep falling forward. There are things we can do to help ourselves along the way, however, and that’s where “PLANNING” comes in.
Since my journey involves Internet Marketing, I have developed (planned) what I call the “SEVEN-STEPS TO FINANCIAL FREEDOM” – see what you think.
* 1st - You need a BURNING DESIRE to be financially free.
* 2nd – You need FAITH that your financial freedom is POSSIBLE.
* 3rd - You need a PROVEN PLAN to follow, to help you take that “first Step” because that’s where every journey must begin.
* 4th - You need to COMMIT to the plan.
* 5th - You need to FOLLOW the plan, with daily determination to achieve specific tasks.
* 6th - When you stumble or fall, you must PICK YOURSELF UP and push on.
* 7th - You must create an ATTITUDE that: Failure is not an acceptable alternative; that giving up is not an option; that no matter how painful — you will keep driving forward until you meet your goal.

Now things are really beginng to get exciting — wouldn’t you agree?
Until next time,

Hi Rich,
Awesome post, looks like you’ve pretty much hit the nail on the head with your 7 steps.
Planning is the ultimate medicine to this business!
I am looking forward to your videos, give me a shout if I can help
Keep in touch

Having Faith is the hardest part for me. Doing all this work and not seeing results really pulls you down., Iam Hoping to see results soon
What a thought provoking post, especially the video.
One of things that Alex Jeffreys refers to a lot is when his boy was learning to walk, and he didnt think to give up. When we are young and the world is new & exciting, we are not conditioned to accept second best or to give up at the first hirdle.
It never enters our head to give up when we are learning to walk. How many times as kids learning to walk did we fall down hard on our poor bums, what did we do, just get right back up again.
When you are learning somthing new, as adults we tend to be embarrassed if we fail on the first try, forgetting that failure can be a great teacher, as long as we indeed learn from it.
Edison said “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
Point make I think.

Hi Rich,
Excellent 7 steps you have here.
I cannot see how it cannot work. Every body will have his or her own “hardest” step, but accepting the challenge and not giving up will get you there – I agree.
I like your blog and its content very much. AND it is really informative!
