Don't let other people steal your dreams

Isn't it time to start taking positive steps towards living your dream lifestyle?  Of course, it is!  So here's an important tip that can help:  Do NOT listen to your dream killers. What the heck is a dream killer? A dream killer is somebody who tells you that "you can't"or that "it's not possible."  These are usually the people closest to you, by the way - i.e. friends and family.  It's that nagging person (or voice) that says, over and over again, "If it sounds too good to be true, than it probably is."  Excuse my french, but what a load of crap!  Do you want to know who says that?  Only two kinds of people buy into that phrase: 1) Those who have no dreams  2) Those who have dreams, but will never accomplish them.

Here is a tip when trying to decide who and what to listen to in regards to trying to create an extra income from home or online. You may want to write this down because it will guarantee that you never listen to a "Dream Killer" again.  If the person giving you the advice is not successful, or is not living the life of their dreams, then don't listen to them. Why in the world would you ever take financial advice from somebody who was not financially independent themselves? I used to get it all the time from my family and friends. "Boy that looks very good, but if it sounds to good to be true..."  Usually they would leave it open like that. I know they always meant well (and that's true), but the real truth is, those that were saying this to me were either broke or nowhere near achieving my financial or lifestyle dreams. Why then should I even be listening to these people?

Whether something is "too good to be true" is a question that each individual has to answer personally. Think of it this way; if Michael Jordan (arguably the greatest basketball player that ever played) told his friends and family in high school that he would be the greatest basketball player of all time, most would have said 'dream on'. Or, would have supported him as a family member or friend, but would have had serious doubts. Afterall, he did get cut from his high school team! But he had goals and worked his tail off to reach them.

My point is that people let comments and attitudes get in the way of their dreams when they could have realized them so many times by actually listening to those who were living their dreams and not wishing for them.  So if you want some good advice, then here it is:  NOTHING is impossible if you are determined to achieve it, you get the knowledge and you you put that knowledge into action in a consistent and persistent manner.  What you desire may not come 'quickly', but when it does it will come in large quanties.  Then the dream killers will have something new to say.  After all your hard work, sacrifice and ultimate success... they will start telling you how 'lucky' you are.
