I really needed that because my business is not doing so well now.

Your attitude and your belief in yourself is one of the most important factors in whether or not you can achieve something. I used to not really believe this, thinking it was just one of those cliche things people put on motivational posters, but at some point in my life it became clear to me that it's true. I tried it out with my own life, shifted to more positive thoughts, and success really did come. Another important factor is having others who believe in you too. When faced with difficult times, belief in yourself is sometimes not enough but the reassurance that others believe in you too can make a huge difference.

I look back, particularly over the last 3 years, and wonder how on earth did I manage to hang in and try things out long enough to feel that I could just keep my website updated and functional. I had been let down badly by the developers who decided they didn't want to do websites any more - great. I was left in the lurch in a regional area quite devoid of well qualified and affordable techies and struggling very badly financially. It was a nightmare to start out with and I really didn't want to become involved on the website side of things. I love technology and the internet though and have always been a keen learner. So it was a case of battling through learning a bit of html and just covering the angles so that the business could grow. It was all self-teach stuff. Today I measure success by looking at what I've been prepared to attempt, the stuff I didn't know that I can now do and that desire and passion is the life blood of achievement. It really doesn't matter what others think because their on their own journey and I'm on mine - it is lovely though to have some company along the way if possible. I've also found it a fruitless exercise to be involved in projects where my heart doesn't lay. So perhaps it is a case of being true to oneself and putting all that you have into the effort - it is about the journey me thinks.

An American child's story, but it still works today. You are starting the year off with great, thought-provoking stuff that all of us, young or old[er] can relate to. It seems that all I've been hearing is that "2010 is the year to succeed"! So, let's just "do it"!! Thanks once again, Frank. Very timely! P.S. As you can see, "I think I can..."

Another favourite one of mine comes, apparently, from Teddy Roosevelt. I'm not sure how this one will format but here it is Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. We have to take responsibility for ourselves something that seems to be lacking these days. OK, off the soapbox now Thanks Frank Stan

Like most people, I've often found myself falling into that negative thinking trap, but thankfully have managed to break out of that old thought process. So I'd like to contribute a thought that might add to this post in some way to help others achieve their goals in 2010... Closely related to believing you can, is the need to overcome fear of failure. I read an interesting book a number of years ago that helped me immensely, called "Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway," by Dr. Susan Jeffers. Often times, people convince themselves they can't do something simply because they are afraid they'll fail, or they're afraid they won't be able to do something perfectly, or might look foolish. No matter what they are afraid of, if it's something they truly want to achieve, they have to feel the fear and just do it, and have faith that simply doing will be enough. Heck, if they fail, so what? At least they will have tried. I think I'll use that poem on my quit smoking site. Perhaps it will inspire others to truly believe they can kick their smoking addiction. Once again, thanks for another great post Frank :) Here's to a prosperous 2010 for everyone. Art

Hi Frank,

I first clicked that money could be made when a friend of mine was saying that he had a marine fish tank and had set up a web site about marine fish and was getting about £250 a month from Amazon as an affiliate, displaying their books on fish etc. I knew If he could do so could I. And I have been trying ever since to make it replace my JOB income (now pension). However, I didn't have an interesting interest like marine fish. So I spent a lot of time and money trying to find out how. My biggest bar to success is my family, although I was doing this for them as much as myself (For instance I want to be able to get my wife to be able to retire) Yet I am put down and ridiculled by them. Oh! dads playing at making his millions etc. If you must do it don't spend any money on it! And to be truthful I have tried MLM's and other business's and failed but I know I will be successful, I have had a few bits of success but I have lost/spent more money than I have ever made. I love the internet and will not give up this opportunity. I can and I will succeed. I look forward to working with you Frank in February.

Most of us are pumped to start the new year with a bang and by channeling this energy or harnessing it to help you stay motivated for all of 2010 rather than the first month will help you become successful. Whenever you need inspiration read this post again or better yet add it to your calendar so you get an electronic reminder to read it again in June 2010 as we all need a little push every now and again.

When I starting writing my response, there was only one comment (Ian's)! Ha ha! How funny. When I hit "Submit," suddenly there were all these other great comments, too.
