I like to run up this very steep half-mile long hill. Historically, if I'm looking at the goal and how far I have to go, I get discouraged and and become un-motivated. I start thinking about the pain in my lungs and legs.

One day I got a bright idea that said to me "Lean into the hill, Look down, Focus on the very next step, and Don't focus on anything else."

So, being the good student that I am, I went with the inpiring idea and began to look down at the few feet that lay just in front of my fee and I resisted the urge to look up and see how far I had to go.

I looked at the pavement directly in front of my feet, leaned forward, I put one foot in front of the next as quickly as I could, and I just jogged up the hill. When I made it to the top, I could have kept going; usually I’m huffing and puffing at the top of my hill run, but not this time.

While running I made sure to focus on the next step in front of me. That’s what you should do as well. Just focus on the next step.

Just like in chess you must think about your next few moves. However, don't think too far ahead because things can change drastically. If you have a strategy laid out, you may not be able to make those moves right when you want to make them.

Stop worrying about all the other steps. Write out your goals, but only focus on the very next step or two while striving to reach your goal.

The only way you are going to get to your goals is through...

If you like to watch a good competitive boxing match, then I'm sure you were sorely disappointed by the fight between Manny "Pac-Man" Pacquiao & "Sugar" Shane Mosley.

Both fighters started out pretty strong, but only one would come out on top.

What could have lead to such a one sided and unanimous decision?

It all comes down to one thing. What is that one thing you ask?

I'll tell you.

It comes down to being able to take a good hit and then keep on fighting

back, because both boxers where stunned at times, but only one fighter had the heart to take a licking and keep on ticking.

Why was it that one fighter was busier than the other one?

It all boils down to this one point. You have to fight with heart, even when things don't always go your way.

Are you staying busy, or are you retreating to a safe place?

Remember, nothing ventured, nothing gained. In life, just like in the boxing match, you have to get out of your comfort zone and stay out of it, if you want to make serious things happen in your life and in your business.

Tonight, Tim Herriage will show you how to stay busy. And how to play with heart. And how to "play to win" in a big way with his Super Supreme

We all run from our desires sometimes. We find ourselves procrastinating on the simplest things just because it's a little uncomfortable.

The truth is we can write down goals all day long.....

• Example: You write down a recipe for a cake, organize it, put it in order i.e. wet ingredients, dry ingredients, etc, then bake it.

Many of us write down the recipe, but that's it.  The idea of this delicious cake tickles our brain.  We can imagine what it tastes like.  We are excited about one day making this cake and we can even envision ourselves eating the cake.
However, the problem is not in our imagination, but it's in the execution of the plan.  It requires ACTION!

The reality is we PROCRASTINATE! Statistics show that procrastination affects over 20% of the population; So you're not alone (actually I was surprised by this low number!)

So, what causes us to procrastinate... Psychologists have brought it down to its simplest form: The number one cause is...

Here is your Landlording Tip brought to you by The Real Estate Investors Training Club.

I was first introduced to the world of landlording at the tender age of 8 years old when I would go with my grand father to collect rents and do repairs to his tri-plex and duplex properties.

As a rental property investor today you have to stay on top of 3 Pillars in order to be Profitable.
