Hello,
Like I did ask two weeks ago, what are you prepared to do? Part of what you should do is to go over to http://conspiracyoftherich.com/ and read about the new rules of money. Believe me you won't regret doing so.

Whatever it takes
What Are You Prepared to Do?
Happy New Year! By the time you read this inaugural blog post, January 1st would be a distant memory for most people. New Year’s Resolutions, the good intentions, wanting to change, hopes for a new…all vague memories. By now, most people have sunk back into their old ways. Getting up at 5:00am to hit the gym lasted all of two weeks and now it’s time to hit the snooze button, wrap up in the covers and sleep late, again. It’s unfortunate, but it’s human nature. I read some days ago that a study showed people keep their New Year’s Resolutions an average of just 6 days. Yes! Just SIX freaking days. That’s all. Sad isn’t it?
What about you? What have you planned for the year? What are your goals? Your dreams? Your Resolutions? Are you on track or are you hitting the snooze button.
Resolutions and goals are good-mandatory in my opinion. I have them. I make them. I write them down to make sure I’m on track for the year. But, here is the most important question you need to ask yourself around your goals…what are you prepared to do to get all that you want this year?
Read that sentence again…here wait. I’ll just ask you again: what are you prepared to do to get all that you want this year? You see, that’s really the key. And what most people miss. Because the harsh reality is, most people are lazy. Most people are not willing to do much of anything to actually get what they want and ensure success. They just hope. They just dream. They think, “Man I really want__.” But, then they just sit there. No action. No getting of their duff. And of course failure is the result. It is sad.
Over the past couple of weeks that I’ve been back in my office from the Christmas and New Year’s holiday I have seen dramatic examples of not being willing to do whatever it take for success. Examples in particular are traders and investors who have given up and literally closed their doors (just like many others during this economic crisis, recession or whatever you want to call it today.)
If you are not willing to do whatever it takes to get what you want and ensure success… what do you expect?
