Getting what you really want from life is easier than you may think. The main reason that you don’t have the things and people that you want in your life right now is completely down to you. Your behaviors have not supported you to reach out and grab those things that you really want.

There are many successful people in the world that have everything that they want. Most of these people started from nothing but they had the traits to succeed. In this valuable report we will show you the 15 that you need to adopt to be like these people and get what you really want.

It is going to take some time and effort on your part to adopt these traits and practice them regularly. There is no overnight miracle here. But after a short time of developing these traits you will see your life start to transform for the better. After a while all of the traits will work on autopilot for you.

So make a commitment right now to adopt all of the traits of successful people we show you in this guide. There is nothing difficult here but you will need to practice regularly. Let’s dive right in!

Nothing kills dreams more than negativity. Negative people focus all of their energy into complaining about their life and how it has been so unfair to them. They will never try anything new because they believe that nothing will work for them. The outlook on life is completely black and they will bring down all that meet with them.
We all have negative thoughts from time to time. Some people have a lot more negative thoughts than others. Over time this negativity eats away at them and they become a total pessimist. A lot of people are neither optimists nor pessimists and do not do much with their lives.

What we want you to do is to make the transition to an optimist. An optimist is someone that sees the positive side in things. If they fail or make a mistake they see this as an opportunity to learn and not condemn themselves as a total failure. They look at opportunities that come their way in a positive sense rather than a negative one.

This doesn’t mean that as an optimist you just believe everything. If you see an opportunity then you need to think “this could work for me” and then look into it further rather than take the pessimistic view of “this will never work” and cut it off completely.

So start off by looking at all of the positive things about your life. If you have made mistakes in the past (we all have) then think about what those mistakes taught you. There are many people that are very successful in their life and if they can do it so can you.

Most people are afraid to take risks in their lives which is why they don’t have what they really want. They work jobs that are well within their comfort zone and wouldn’t even consider going for a job that they were not familiar with.

Now we are not suggesting that you need to be a crazy risk taker and potentially lose everything that you have. But you need to take on board that if you start something new you will need to make the right moves to be successful with it. The chances are that you have no idea what some of those moves are right now –– but you will take the risk because the rewards will definitely be worth it.

What we recommend that you do is to take calculated risks. We are not advocating pure gambling here on the throw of a dice. A calculated risk is where you weigh everything up and decide that it is worth speculating because most things seem to favor success.

As an example consider investing in real estate that you will rent out for a monthly passive income. You need to look at different properties and assess the risk. Are the properties in the right location? Are they in good condition? Are there similar properties with paying tenants in them?

So we are encouraging you to take more risks but think them through before you take them. Push the boundaries of your comfort zone. There are always ways to achieve things and you can learn virtually anything online these days.

Whatever path you choose to get what you really want there are going to be barriers and problems that you need to overcome. You are going to make mistakes and some of these could be costly. When these things happen you need to have the mental toughness to keep going and not give up.

Remember this “you only fail when you give up”. If you keep going with your goals then you have not failed. You may have had some setbacks but you had the mental toughness to stand up again and keep going.

If you have a history of giving up on things in the past then you will need to work hard to develop this trait. When you feel like giving up think about why you are doing this thing in the first place. You want a better life for you and your loved ones so if you give up now you will not achieve this.

Other people may try to influence you as well. Close family members and friends may tell you that you need to give up because they are concerned about you. You need to be mentally tough and thank them for their concern but carry on regardless.

This is linked to being mentally tough –– in fact the two go hand in hand. Successful people have the persistence trait. If they don’t know how to do something then they will work tirelessly until they do. They will learn it themselves or find someone else that has the skills to do what they want.

People that lack persistence are easily distracted and will give up when the going gets tough. The persistent person never gives up and believes that there is always a way. So we want you to adopt this thinking in your life. When you are up against it always believe that there is a way to move forward.

Persistence has won wars and hearts, created multibillion dollar companies and won gold medals at the Olympics. What’s not to like about persistence? There is no magic wand to wave to make you more persistent. Just practice and then practice some more.

When you are resourceful you have the belief that you can get anything done. If you don’t have the money that you need to get something that you really want then you find ways to do this. If you don’t have the skills to achieve something then you learn them or find someone who has those skills.

A resourceful person can solve any problem. They do not have all of the answers but they can find out anything and get anything done. They have a network of contacts who will help them out. They know where to go to find the answers to any question.

Again resourcefulness is all about moving forward and not giving up when you are faced with something that you don’t know how to fix. You can give a resourceful person the minimum of resources and they will make things happen. If you are not resourceful then no amount of resources will make a difference.

So practice being resourceful every day. When you are faced with a problem that you don’t know the answer to make it your mission to find that answer. If you don’t have the resources that you need to accomplish something then do whatever you need to do to borrow them etc.

If you are trying to achieve a challenging goal to get what you really want then it is very likely that you are going to need the assistance of others. The ability to network with other people is a very good trait to have because you can find all of the people that you need to achieve your desires.

If you are going to start a business then you will need customers. When you are a good networker it is a lot easier for you to find customers. Even if you have an online business you can still use your networking skills in different online communities to find new customers.

Introduction

Mastering anxiety might not seem like an easy task, but it is possible. Whether it’s a matter of eliminating anxiety or simply managing your stress, you have the opportunity to put in place a plan to deal with everyday anxiety, and you can learn how to overcome anxiety.

To do this, it’s essential to find out what works for you and persevere. The path will not be linear, and it may be a long one. Besides, you will need to be actively involved in your anxiety reduction plan, and not wait for the solution to come only from some medication or an outside person.

At the end of this process, you may still have a small amount of anxiety left over. However, you will be able to live with it! All of this opens up beautiful perspectives and lets you hope for a better life.

Eliminating your anxiety means making sure you get back to everyday life while saying goodbye to anxiety and feelings of uneasiness. The disappearance of the symptoms should not be your main objective, and it should be to eliminate it definitively. It is this difference that will keep you moving forward in the long term. Because yes, overcoming anxiety is a work that requires patience and rigor.

Here are the five steps that will lead you to your goal.

Step 1: Changing Habits

Adopting new habits is critical to start your journey to eliminating anxiety. You will find a few ideas here and feel free to add some of your own.

Adequate Sleep

There’s nothing like a good night of sleep to regulate the mind and the body. Why is sleeping so important for managing anxiety? Because rest has the power to determine your mood. Deep sleep allows you to recover physically, while REM sleep will enable you to assimilate the events of the day and better manage your emotions. A sleep-deprived person tends to be more anxious, more emotional, to anticipate the worst, and to see everything in the dark. It’s a matter of common sense, and researchers have also proven it. Studies show that lack of sleep affects areas of the brain dedicated to the regulation of emotions and promotes anxiety. If you feel exhausted, don’t hesitate to go to bed very early for a few days. If anxiety makes you sleepless, adopt new habits to help you fall asleep. And get back to a good night’s sleep.

Keep a Journal

Even if your anxiety seems to have no particular cause, it often has a trigger. Try to find out what makes you anxious during the day. Get a nice notebook and keep a diary in which you write down your feelings experienced during the day. As the days go by, you will be able to make systematic comparisons between symptoms, intensity, and triggers. The trigger may not necessarily be the root cause of your anxiety, but identifying the trigger will help you trace back your discomfort and better understand your emotions. This diary is a good basis for establishing cause-and-effect relationships, and for starting to work on yourself.

Make Time for Relaxation

If you are feeling very anxious and distressed, do not hesitate to do a breathing exercise, a relaxation technique, or simple stretches. These exercises help you relieve your symptoms and manage your anxiety to the best of your ability! They force you to settle down, calm down, breathe, and oxygenate. Remember that it is important to allow yourself some time to relax during the day, even at work. Learning to breathe is one of the most important things you can do to overcome your anxiety symptoms.

Step 2: Reconnect With Nature

Nature is healing. Being in frequent contact with nature is beneficial in the fight against stress.

Create a Garden

Don’t hesitate to start gardening, whether you live in the country or the city. If you’re an urban dweller, shared urban gardens will allow you to enjoy the joys of nature. You can also create your vertical garden, along a wall, or your tiny garden, in planters, on your balcony or window sill. Some plants can even be grown indoors.

Go for a Walk in the Forest

If you have the opportunity to go for a walk in the woods, you should know that many studies show that walking in the woods has a positive effect on mood disorders. It not only reduces stress and anxiety but also reduces heart rate and systolic pressure. In short, effective anxiety treatment and very natural!

Open a Window

If you wake up feeling anxious, opening a window is your priority! Take the time to open a window as soon as you wake up (or better yet, go out into your garden) and breathe the fresh air, even in winter. Oxygen will help you dissipate your feeling of discomfort and make it easier to face the early morning.

Bring in Nature

Imagine a living environment where everything is “green, calm and pleasure,” a cocoon where you can relax and feel at peace. Your home is the place where you recharge your batteries and prepare to face the outside world. Don’t hesitate to have plants or a green wall that will remind you of nature.

If you are not feeling content with your life then it is likely that you do not know what your true purpose in life is. Without this you will not be focused on the things that make you truly happy. You will either drift through life or find yourself stuck.

In this short and powerful report you will learn why it is so important for you to find your WHY and provide you with the 12 questions to ask yourself to uncover it. We urge you to read every word of this report and take action to create an inspiring WHY statement that will drive you forward and provide you with total fulfillment.

People always do things for a Reason

There is a reason behind everything that you do. You may not realize this but it is true. Most of the things that you do every day are on autopilot such as brushing your teeth and taking a shower. You don’t think about these things you just do them.

But behind all of your actions is a reason. You brush your teeth and bathe each day because you do not want to smell bad and be dirty. You make the journey to your place of work each day because of the reward you receive and what it means to you and your family.

OK these things are obvious but it is not always. As human beings you are aware of WHAT you do and HOW you do it. The WHAT part is usually obvious and the HOW part is something that you have learned over the years.

The most difficult thing to understand is WHY you do the things you do. Most people will do things that they don’t want to do and accept this as part of life. For example there are plenty of people that work a job that they hate.

They do this because they feel that they have to. These people do not have the confidence in themselves to find a better job. They are happy to just drift along taking anything that they can. The trouble with this is that they will never be fulfilled.

How to Attain Fulfillment

The only real way to attain fulfillment is to understand what your true purpose is in life is. Once you know this you will be able to set goals that allow you to attain fulfillment. Don’t get sucked in to all of the nebulous questions around such as “why are we here?” and “what is the purpose of life?”

These questions are likely to conjure up negative thoughts in your head. We believe that all individuals create their own purpose in life. There is no “one size fits all” answer to the question “what is the purpose of life?” You answer that question in your own way.

Your mind is a very powerful tool. Use it to your advantage to determine your life’s purpose. Where are you in your life right now? Your previous thoughts are responsible for everything that you have or don’t have in your life right now.

6 Powerful Reasons why you should Write a Personal WHY Statement

When you have a personal WHY statement that you have given a lot of thought to and committed to your life will change for the better. The most important reason for creating a WHY statement is the clarity that it will provide to you.

When you have this clarity you will be able to focus on the things that really matter to you. It will provide you with a future blueprint for your life. Your WHY statement will reveal your true purpose in life and the values that you hold dear.

It is not going to be easy to write a strong and compelling WHY statement, but you can do it and you must do it. Once you have your WHY statement then you must live by it every day as this is the fastest way to fulfillment.

Your WHY Statement determines what you want

The reason that a lot of people fail to achieve goals that they set is because they do not really want to achieve them. If that sounds crazy then please read on and we will explain. When you know your true purpose in life you will be able to set goals that align with this.

As soon as you have a WHY statement that you are truly happy with then it will be straight forward for you to set related goals and be motivated every day to achieve them. When you know what you truly want from life you will do everything to achieve them.

Improved Focus

It is very easy to get distracted in the modern world. Although the Internet is a wonderful thing, it can steal your time like nothing else. If you do not have a clear focus in your life then it will be easy for you to become distracted. Other people can influence you to set goals that you are not truly committed to for example.
When your personal WHY statement is complete you will be certain about what you need to do next. You will have total focus which will enable you to prioritize the things that you do to achieve goals that align with your WHY statement.

Your Decision Making will improve

The clarity of a compelling WHY statement will enable you to make better decisions in your life. All decisions, both small and large, are covered here. Without true clarity in your life it is more likely that the decisions you make will not be the best ones.

You will consider all of your decisions against your WHY statement. Internally you will ask yourself “is this a good choice for my life’s purpose?” and then be able to instantly decide the right thing to do.

Introduction

Your personal power is all about having self-confidence and be able to be your true self in all aspects of your life. From the time we are born, we will be raised to be a version of ourselves that please others. Whether it comes from the way, you interact with your family or how you were taught in school. We learn to put a mask on and be an actor in our life.

Unfortunately, that behavior will not lead you to be happy and live a fulfilling life. With commitment, vulnerability, and curiosity, you will be able to be the best version of yourself and put away the mask that you’ve to wear for much too long. Are you ready to claim your power?

Then let’s start with this 5-step guide!

Step 1: Assess Yourself

Have you ever felt like your behavior and the way that you held yourself varied depending on who is around you and where you are?

We tend to play a different role when we are with individuals that we want to please or want to make sure that they like us. For example, you might behave in a completely different way if you are at work or with people you just met and want to be friends with them. We tend to be ourselves when we are at home or with childhood friends. That is when we let our guards down and become more vulnerable and less worried about how others might perceive us.

The following questions will help you identify which area of your life you are the best version of yourself. The answer is yes or no, pick the answer the closest to how you feel (mostly yes or mostly no).

Business, Career and Professional World

YES
NO

Are you satisfied with your work?

Do you get along with your colleagues?

Do you know what you want to do for work?

TOTAL:

Love and Romantic Relationship

YES
NO

Are you experiencing happiness in love?

Do you feel like you can be yourself in a love relationship?

TOTAL:

Family

YES
NO

Do you feel like you have a connection with your family?

Can you be yourself around your family?

TOTAL:

Friends

YES
NO

Do you trust your friends?

Would you say that the level of “give and take” in your friendship is balanced between you and them?

TOTAL:

Acquaintances and Neighbors

YES
NO

Do you stay true to yourself when you meet new people? (Meaning you don’t change your demeanor.)

Are you honest with yourself when you meet someone new that you don’t like? (Meaning you don’t try to convince yourself that you need to give them a chance.)

TOTAL:

Self

YES
NO

Do you appreciate your physical body?

Would you say you have healthy self-talk?

TOTAL:

Compile all the “yes” and “no” from each section. TOTAL:

The more “yes” you have, the easier it is for you to be yourself. The goal is to be your true self in all spheres of your life. Based on that quick survey, which area of your life has more “NO”? Keep that in mind; we hope that by the end of reading this book, you are more comfortable being yourself in that area of your life.

Step 2: Explore Your Internal Reality

In the previous step, you’ve learned a little bit more about yourself in various situations of life. Let’s continue on this journey to honesty and discovery. Being dishonest is one of the most common mistakes we make in life that keeps our power at bay.

It takes a long time to realize that the external world is a projection of what is happening internally. Since the external world is a pure reflection of us, it can give us a lot of information about ourselves when we take the time to observe and be aware. But we have to take the time to reflect and be honest about what we truly feel inside.

TikTok is a fairly new social media platform. It has seen significant growth over the last two years and now has around 500 million active users per day. It has grown in popularity in international markets including the United States. Some marketers have had a lot of success with the platform while many others have failed.

In this report we will share with you the 8 secrets to marketing success with TikTok. If you read this report and follow the advice in it then you will have a much greater chance of getting the results that you want.

So please read this short report from start to finish and take action to create a winning presence on TikTok. You need to understand what TikTok is all about and who likes it and why. It’s all here for you so let’s get to it.

The first thing that you need to ask yourself is whether or not the products and services that you sell are going to appeal to Generation Z youngsters. We are talking about younger individuals less than 30 years old here.

Not only that but TikTok is a visual medium that consists of short video clips either 15 seconds or 60 seconds long. Is that a good fit for your business? Do you want to spend time creating these short videos?

Marketers that do well on TikTok have visually appealing products. Alternatively they create videos showing their products being used in a visually appealing way. This is vital for success with TikTok as the users want to be entertained. They do not want to see boring product videos that are not any fun.

Music plays a big part on the platform. Most of the videos on TikTok have music playing in the background. This is easy to add to your videos as TikTok has a sound clip gallery that you can choose from. So instead of creating videos that contain a lot of talking you need to add good background music instead.

Successful brands on TikTok have a trendy vibe about them. This is important to appeal to the “cool kid” image that the platform has. Can your business create such a persona? Do you even want to do this?

At the end of the day TikTok is all about fun. When you can tie fun into your brand on TikTok then you have a recipe for success. Your videos will be liked and shared and could go viral.

Being successful on TikTok is all about catching the attention of its user base. Having a good profile name which reflects your brand is a step in the right direction. In your profile you have the opportunity to tell TikTok users what your brand is all about so make sure that you grab this opportunity with both hands.

You need to write a description that will attract users. A boring description will make them leave faster than anything else. Make your profile fun and appealing. Show users that you are part of the “cool kid” vibe and that you will provide them entertaining content.

When you are setting up your profile make it a Pro account. This is free to do and the major benefit of this is that you will have access to TikTok analytics that will show you how well your profile and your individual posts are doing on the platform.

Nobody is going to be impressed with a profile on TikTok that doesn’t have any followers. One of the best ways to gain a following is to start by following others. Spend time looking for videos on TikTok and if you enjoy them then follow the user.

It is likely that there will be other TikTok users in your niche so start following them. Of the people that you follow, a percentage of them will follow you back. Try to find TikTok users that have a large following and follow them. When you do this be sure to add good comments on some of their video posts.

This will help you to start a relationship with these people. They will appreciate your comments and will check out your profile and your videos for sure. You can use your relationships with those that have a large following by working with them to get the word out about your brand.

There are different kinds of videos on TikTok and some are more popular than others. What all of the successful videos have in common is that they are fun and entertaining for the users. You won’t find any successful slide show and narration videos on this platform because that is just too boring for the audience.

Music videos are very popular. TikTok acquired the Musical.ly platform which was all about posting lip-syncing videos for famous songs. So you will not be surprised that mini music videos and even music montage videos are really popular.

A lot of the most popular videos on TikTok have a comedy element. Making people laugh is always in demand. There are some really creative comedy videos on the platform and they always get a good response.

OK it is not that easy to make funny videos but if you put the effort in then you will be rewarded with a ton of hearts (likes) and a lot of followers. Think of a funny situation involving your brand and create a short video with suitable background music and you could have the next viral post on your hands.

One of the great things about the TikTok platform is the amount of special effects that you can use in your videos. For example if you want to speed up a video or slow it down then you can easily do that.

There are some great face filters available and other effects that can really make your videos stand out. You are not trying to create a Hollywood blockbuster here. Just learn about all of the effects and use them as often as possible.

Another innovative feature of TikTok is the Duet feature. Here you can use another video and create a new video so that it stands “side by side”. The reaction video is popular on TikTok. This is where a person reacts to someone else’s video.

With a side by side Duet you can really express your feelings and TikTok users love to watch this. The Duet feature was very popular on the Musical.ly platform and continues to be on TikTok. So work out how to use the Duet feature and use it in your marketing.

TikTok users really enjoy a challenge. So you can provide them with a special challenge video. A challenge needs to be something that a user would want to participate in and have a degree of difficulty so that it really is a challenge.

One of the best examples of this is the #tumbleweedchallenge posted by Jimmy Fallon from the Tonight Show. He asked TikTok users to drop to the floor and roll like a tumbleweed in a public place. This was so popular there were more than 8,000 videos created by users and the hashtag got more than 10 million engagements.

Unless you have been living under a rock you will have heard about cryptocurrencies. The most famous of these is Bitcoin which is always in the news. Some people think that cryptocurrencies are a scam but they are not. If you know what you are doing you can make some very tidy profits with them.

Some people are too scared to get involved with cryptocurrencies. They do not understand them and all they focus on are the scams that hit the headlines. Unfortunately there are cryptocurrency scams but they are easy to spot and avoid.

In this report you will learn how to prepare yourself to profit from cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. You will discover the mistakes that most novices make when they get started with cryptocurrencies. So read this special report from cover to cover to maximize your chances of making good profits with cryptocurrencies.

You must understand what cryptocurrencies are and how they work to make a profit from them. Basically a cryptocurrency is a virtual currency that is used for exchange online. All cryptocurrencies have cryptology functions which are essential for secure financial transactions.

Almost all of the cryptocurrencies available these days use the blockchain technology. This technology is much more secure than the conventional client server technology that supports most financial transactions used by banks and other financial institutions.

Blockchain is a decentralized system rather than a centralized one. This means that all of the nodes (computers) in a cryptocurrency network must be able to see all of the transactions and they need to be confirmed and verified for authorization. The cryptocurrency term for this is “consensus”.

All cryptocurrencies should have a controlled supply. As an example there will only be 21 billion Bitcoins. Think about a finite amount of gold existing in the world. The reason gold is so valuable is that there is only so much of it and one day humans will have mined every last bit of it.

There needs to be a finite amount of cryptocurrencies to ensure that they have value. Experts estimate that there will be no more new Bitcoins created after the year 2140. Bitcoin is so popular that the supply could run out a lot faster than that.

All cryptocurrency transactions must create immutable records. This means that after authorization a record can never be changed. The blockchain technology ensures the immutability of all cryptocurrency transactions.

You should never need the permission of anyone to participate in cryptocurrency transactions. There is no government control (not yet at least) and one of the major attractions of cryptocurrencies is that they are not affected by specific inflation and deflation issues of countries.

Some countries are scared of cryptocurrencies and have banned them so you need to check if you can trade cryptocurrencies in your country.

You must understand the principle of the public and private key system and how it applies to cryptocurrencies. To verify a cryptocurrency transaction there must be a public and a private key and these must be linked together with you as the owner. These keys are heavily encrypted for security and it would take massive computer power to decrypt these keys even if it was possible.

A public key has a tie in with a public address and you need this for cryptocurrency transactions. You use your public key to deposit your cryptocurrencies and let people know that you are available to make transactions (buy and sell cryptocurrencies). Anyone can see your public key.

Your private key must never be shared and acts like a password to protect the cryptocurrencies that you own. All of your private keys must link to public keys for additional security. Private keys determine the balance of your cryptocurrency holdings.

When you buy and sell cryptocurrencies using an exchange you do so using a wallet. These are online wallets that are very convenient for the storing of cryptocurrencies and fast transactions. The problem with these online wallets is that they are not secure.

The blockchain technology that supports most cryptocurrency transactions is very secure but if hackers get a hold of your wallet login details they can send all of your cryptocurrencies to their accounts. Because blockchain creates immutable records you cannot reverse any of these transactions. This means that you can lose everything!

An online wallet or a mobile wallet are called “hot” wallets. These are great for convenient trading of cryptocurrencies but poor on security. The other thing about these wallets are that they are controlled by the cryptocurrency exchanges. If you upset the exchange by inadvertently breaching their terms and conditions they can close your account and again you lose everything.

To prevent losing your cryptocurrencies through theft or account closure we recommend that you use a “cold” wallet. These wallets do not require a connection to the Internet to store your private keys. There are different types of cold wallet:

- Desktop wallets
- Paper wallets
- Hardware wallets

A desktop wallet is an application that you download and install on your desktop computer or laptop. These are a lot safer than online wallets and when you disconnect from the Internet you still have all of your information safely stored. They are not 100% foolproof though.

With a paper wallet you store all of your cryptocurrency information on a piece of paper that you print from your computer. You can then store this paper in a safe place to ensure nobody else sees it. This is far from the most convenient wallet solution but it is pretty safe.

“You were designed for accomplishment, engineered for success, and endowed with the seeds of greatness.” — Zig Ziglar

Bill Gates, Nelson Mandela, Steve Jobs, Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi, Shakespeare, and Leonardo da Vinci; what do all these people have in common? The first thought that comes to mind is that they are "greats". They are great leaders, great inventors and great artists. They are not greats because they are famous. It is their greatness that has brought them fane.

The list of names that humanity considers great is endless. But what exactly makes a person great? What secrets or special qualities does that person possess that others do not? Is it true that some people are just born to do great things?

The truth is, there is no mysterious code or magic recipe for greatness. Nor does destiny choose some people to become great and overlook others. Every human being has the potential to become great.

This book will uncover seven simple secrets that you can implement to achieve greatness in your own life. You don’t necessarily have to change the world if you don’t feel that that is your calling. You don’t have to carve your name in history books. However, you can achieve greatness in your own niche by learning from people who have left their unique mark on humanity.

We all want to be great at something. None of us willingly chooses to be mediocre. The longing for greatness is an innate need within each one of us.

The big misconception is that we don’t think we were born for greatness. We think that greatness is a quality that a very few unique people are blessed with. We look at people like Oprah Winfrey or Mark Zuckerberg with awe and envy and wonder, “What's their secret?”

The secret is a simple set of qualities that you can learn to develop. These qualities interact and fuse together, enabling you to create your own personal greatness in whatever you choose to do.

It doesn't have to be something world-changing, but it will be life-changing for you. You may want to be a great parent, a great spouse, or great in your career. You may want to become a great advocate for a cause that you are passionate about. And if you want to reach higher and change the world - by all means, go for it! Whatever measure of greatness you want to achieve, the seven secrets of greatness will help you fulfill your personal calling.

Chapter 1: What Greatness is Not

Defining exactly what greatness is can be tricky. For example, what do Bill Gates, Picasso and Marilyn Monroe have in common? Not much, except that they have left us a unique legacy that has made them household names. We could argue that they are icons because they were great at what they did. We could view them as pioneers who swam against the current.

However, there are millions of unsung greats who were not necessarily pioneers or disruptors. These are the great mothers and fathers, the great friends, the great mentors and teachers who left their imprint on their immediate circle. Yet, the world knows nothing about them nor would consider them great.

Greatness is a curious cocktail that is hard to define in specific words. And yet, we all recognize greatness when we see it. Perhaps the definition will become clearer if we exclude what greatness is NOT.

Greatness Is Not Fame

Hitler, Stalin and Usama Bin Laden are three of the most famous names on the planet but nobody (except for some mentally challenged crackpots) would consider them great. Being famous - or infamous in this case - is not a criterion for greatness.

However, greatness can bring great fame, and the examples are endless.

Greatness Is Not Wealth

Many of us think that being rich makes you a great person. This is false. Pursuing wealth for its own sake makes a person anything but great, as it can bring out some pretty horrible qualities.

Greatness is not measured by X millions or billions of dollars. Greatness can bring great wealth but never the other way around. Let's take Donald Trump. Love him or hate him as a politician, we must agree that he is great in his original profession as a businessman. It's not his wealth that makes him great but his amazing business savvy, vision and pioneering spirit. This is what has allowed him to build the huge business empire he has today.

Greatness Is Not Physical Strength

We only must look at Gandhi or Mother Theresa to know that greatness does not come from physical strength. However, both Gandhi and Mother Theresa had an amazing strength of character, which is one of the qualities that made them great.

Learn from them, and you can achieve beyond your wildest dreams too.

1 Have A Singular Goal – Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold Schwarzenegger is undoubtedly one of the most successful people on the planet. Not only did Arnie get into incredible shape and build a huge amount of muscle, but he also managed to become the highest paid movie actor of his time, and the governor of LA.

That’s all pretty impressive for a guy who grew up in a rural village in Austria, and who had a thick accent to contend with!

How did he do it? Simple: he worked extremely hard. Arnie recalls how he would train for hours at a time, run businesses, and simultaneously work on his English at night school. He was able to do all this for one reason and one reason alone: because he had a single goal that he was absolutely passionate about. He said that every gruelling rep was worth it because he knew that at the end of each one, he would be a step closer to his end goal. With every single curl and press, he was closer to becoming Mr. Olympia.

2 Practice The Same Kick

1,000 Times – Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee said that he doesn’t fear the man who practices 1,000 different kicks once. Bruce Lee feared the man who practiced one kick a thousand times.

In other words, Bruce Lee “feared” (or respected at least) mastery. Bruce was enamoured with those who had honed and perfected their technique through countless hours of rigorous practice. This is what we all can hope to accomplish and what we all should aim for.

This relates to a subject in fitness called “greasing the groove.” Essentially, the argument here is that by training a movement or a pattern every single day, you will find it becomes more and more deeply ingrained with every attempt. Eventually, it will become second nature and you will be faster, stronger, more efficient and more capable.

So, while that perfect mastery might seem a long way now, keep in mind that each attempt is just one of your thousand reps. That every single attempt makes you a little bit better. Eventually, you’ll be a master.

3 Use Fear Setting – Tim Ferriss

Author Tim Ferriss is responsible for starting the “lifestyle design” movement, and can even take some amount of credit for the equally big health tracking trend. Tim’s books have all reached the bestseller lists, he has worked with some of the most successful people on the planet, he has run multiple businesses, and he also has a HUGE podcast. If you haven’t checked him out, then we recommend you do!

Tim recommends a technique called fear setting to achieve your goals. The idea is that many of us fail to make progress because we’re scared of failure. You might not apply for other jobs because you’re scared of what leaving your current work might mean. You may not speak to an attractive member of the opposite sex because you’re too scared of rejection.

But here is the thing: most of us fail to ever define precisely what we’re afraid of. As a result of this, we end up blowing those fears out of all proportion and becoming frozen in fright.

By taking a moment to write down precisely what it is you are scared of, you will often realize that your fears really aren’t all that bad and that you’re perhaps overreacting. Write down all the things you’re scared of, and then next to each point, write down how likely it is to happen, how it could be prevented, and what you would do in that worst-case scenario.

For example, let’s discuss leaving your job for a new one. Perhaps you’re scared that you’ll leave your job and not like the new position, you’ll end up getting fired or leaving, and then will be penniless. Your partner will leave you because you made such a bad decision, your children will go hungry, and you’ll be forced to sell your home. The gap on your CV means you’ll never work in that industry again.

Okay, so how likely is this?

First: you won’t give up your current job until you have the new one. Second: if you don’t like the new job, you can just look for work again. There are laws in place to prevent unfair firing, and you should be able to get a very good idea of the workplace culture and vibe before you transition to the new position.

All of this makes the chances of ending up jobless much smaller. Now consider that you probably could get your old job back if ever you needed to. That you likely have at least some savings you could live off for a while. That your parents might step in to help. That you can discuss the idea with your partner. And that they support your decisions.

The way that your Instagram account is set up is very important. You need to make it look professional and appealing to users. A lot of Instagram users will check out your profile if they are interested in your content so be sure to follow these steps.

Username

If you already have an Instagram account you can change the username so that it reflects your brand. When you first sign up for a new account you can use your full name and then change this to a different username afterwards.

Think of a username that best describes your business. What do you call your website? If you have a catchy name for your site then use the same name on Instagram.

Shorter names are more memorable but a lot of these will already be taken. Choose the best name available making sure that your brand is included.

Customizing your Account

We strongly recommend that you add a professionally designed logo as your “profile photo”. If you have an existing logo then you can upload this to your account and even import it from Twitter or Facebook. If you don’t have a logo then you can outsource this on Fiverr.com for a few bucks.

After you have selected your logo you can use filters to customize it. You can also change the contrast, warmth, saturation, structure, brightness, color and a number of other settings. Once you have used a filter and adjusted the settings we suggest that you make a note of these so that you can use them again for future branding. Now it is time to edit your profile. You have already changed your username so your next task is to add a link to your website. Unless you purchase Instagram Ads users will only be able to click through to your website via your profile.

Don’t just enter your home page here. Set up a specific landing page for Instagram users on your website. On this landing page ask the visitor to take action such as signing up to your email marketing list in exchange for an incentive.

The last customization step is to edit your bio. Here you want to include exciting details about your business. You want to include keywords for your niche and related hashtags here as well as a text only URL. Instagram will recommend related hashtags here so choose the ones with the highest level of engagement Using the right hashtags is critical to your success with Instagram. When you use the right hashtags you will be able to increase reach and awareness organically.

Instagram has changed its algorithm in the way that it treats hashtags. Now it will prioritize hashtags that are relevant to the post content rather than taking into consideration the number of hashtags.

So here you are going to discover the right way to find great hashtags for your Instagram content. Instagram has a search feature which you will use to find trending hashtags in specific categories.

As an example if you select the “Beauty” category you will then be able to see what hashtags are trending in this category under “related hashtags”. If you are in the beauty niche you can add some of these hashtags to your posts to maximize your chances of increasing your reach.

Make a record of the hashtags that you discover using this method so that you can use the in conjunction with other targeted hashtags in your content. How do you find targeted hashtags? Just use the “Tags” function.

When you select the “Tags” function you will be able to find targeted hashtags generated through the autocomplete feature. So just type in a niche keyword in the “search hashtags” field and this will reveal a list of hashtags related to the keyword.

You can use this process for broad keywords related to your niche and then for long tail keywords as well so that you can discover the content that is generating the highest engagement levels in your niche.

You will learn a lot about hashtags by using this method. Once you enter a keyword Instagram generates a list of related hashtags for you and you will be able to see the number of posts that have used it.

We recommend that you make a note of the hashtags that Instagram displays. You can then use these in related content. Don’t use unrelated hashtags in your posts. Just stick to the related ones.

You can follow hashtags so that you are up to date with the content that uses it. Make a note of any hashtag suggestions as these can all help with increasing the reach of your posts. Follow these steps for your broad and long tail keywords.
