It has nothing to do with the time being right or wrong. Storms just happen.

As soon as I can find the courage to put my plans to action, I will turn from being a __aybe man_ into someone whose future success lies completely in his own hands.

And by making that plan you have differentiated yourself from more than ninety percent of the population. You are one of the few, who has a clear direction, a decisive plan of action.

A gentleman of ambition is aware of the people he wishes to be associated with both socially and commercially. He knows that moving through different levels of society is akin to stepping through different rooms in an enormous house, each door leading to a grander environment than the last. He may, of course, settle for the comfort of any room he reaches. Alternatively, he may continue through successive doors to surround himself with even greater fineries and riches.

You see continuous movement is the important thing here. Those who remain in one position and then lie to themselves about their progress are the ones in real trouble.

Until you take the first step forward, failure remains reassuringly impossible.

All these ships are currently safe at anchor but that is not what they were designed for is it? Your job is not to remain anchored and safe. Your job is to move closer to your destination at every attempt.

Each step of your current journey will take you to new and interesting worlds of opportunity and as every intrepid explorer knows, when one visits strange new lands one must be aware of their customs.

You can__ plough a field by turning it over in your mind. Either you get out there and plough it or it doesn__ get done.

Think upon the numbers I have been sharing with you. Of your competitors, five out of ten will do little more than take their customer's money immorally. A further three out of ten will leave them dissatisfied.

This is how you must be. You must become as evangelical about your promised outcome as he is about his. You must believe that you, and you alone, have the solution to your prospects problems. Even if they do not recognise those problems themselves.

His belief is so passionate that it fills him with the burning desire to share his fabulous news with anyone who will listen. He is concerned that it is us that might be missing out, not him. His faith in a single road to salvation and paradise is so intense, that it would be ungodly not to share the good news with all those who are not aware.

Ready? No one is ever ready, my boy. But some do what they plan to do and some never will. The difference between the two is that the first group understand that they need to start somewhere, so they do so. Straight away

Falling has become far more terrifying to me than rising.

Don't allow your imagination to colour events as lesser men would, and see movement in motionless things.

Trust me. In a very short time, you will become sought out by those in your network. Initially for your sound advice, but soon after as a provider of service. Few people seek advice about a subject that doesn__ require a solution.

We must design how we wish to be perceived, and then we must work even harder to continuously recreate and re-evaluate that perception.

Young man, your problem and the reason so many like you fail, is simply because you allow yourself to give up far too early.
