There’s a fabulous story mentioned in the book Think and Grow Rich, which I’d like to quote for you.
A long while ago, a great warrior faced a situation which made it necessary for him to make a decision which insured his success on the battlefield. He was about to send his armies against a powerful foe, whose men outnumbered his own. He loaded his soldiers into boats, sailed to the enemy’s country, unloaded soldiers and equipment, then gave the order to burn the ships that had carried them. Addressing his men before the first battle, he said, “You see the boats going up in smoke. That means that we cannot leave these shores alive unless we win! We now have no choice-we win, or we perish!
In this article, I’ll tell you how I burned my own ships when getting into internet business. I’ll also share what is, in my opinion, the number one secret to internet business success.

Like most things in life that are worthwhile, self improvement involves stepping out of your comfort zone. That’s what I’m trying to do with my 30-day positive affirmations experiment.
For the longest time when I thought about positive affirmations, I had a crazy image of Stuart Smalley from Saturday Night Live —>.
For those of you who don’t know, Stuart Smalley was a character on SNL created and played by comedian Al Franken. He was a non-licensed self-help therapist who coined several funny phrases.
- “That’s just stinkin’ thinkin!”
- “You’re should-ing all over yourself.”
- “Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt!”
- “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.”
So anyway, that was my previous view of positive affirmations. But the more I read about self improvement, the more I found stories of how positive affirmations can change lives.
In this article I’ll share with you how I am aiming to use positive affirmations to overcome feelings of depression, stop procrastinating, battle the fear of failure, and have better focus in my online business.
I’ll also provide you with some resources to help you experiment with your own positive affirmations, and some examples (including my own) to get you started.

We’ve all had those moments when even the smallest things seem to be frustrating enough to cause a bad day. Perhaps the day started with a rude cashier, someone cutting you off in traffic, or by spilling coffee on that white shirt or blouse.
As I type this very article, I am interrupted every minute or so by the sounds of stomping from the family in the apartment above us.
Apparently, when these apartments were repaired after Hurricane Katrina, the contractors did not insulate well at all. As a result, we can hear almost everything that goes on upstairs. It’s hard not to get frustrated at the family itself.
Today, I’ll share with you a simple approach to stop fights, arguments, and frustrations before they begin. A secret I recently discovered in a fabulous book I’m reading. If implemented properly, this tip could potentially salvage relationships, return peace and happiness to your home, and help you become happier and less stressed.
