Time is more important than money. Time measures the pace of your life. Money provides the means.

Effective people attain more money by mastering time.

The get more value out of time in any day. They use their time well. They have clear goals, plans, and actions. They out produce and out contribute and get paid handsomely. Over time, their compensation far exceeds effort, multiplying exponentially.

The Industrial Age is behind us now. Machines can out produce even the most diligent worker. But no form of artificial intelligence can match the brilliance of the human mind. Thus, while machines can replace muscle, nothing can replace the brain. So, we in the Information Age must sharpen our skills to keep up with the rapid pace of knowledge.

Yet while multi-media presentations are becoming more ubiquitous, reading remains the primary way to learn.

You prepare to arrive at a chosen future when you set a goal.

When you don't set one, the future is an accident of circumstances.
Usually, you arrive at a place you don't want to be in.

In the first instance, you are like a traveler who chooses a destination, then maps out a plan, then finds ways to arrive at his chosen location.

In my study of people who have a knack for success, who seem to make the accurate choice at the best time, and who appear to constantly be in the right place at the right time, I noticed some essential success principles that they all use.

Their use of these principles is almost automatic. In other words, it is hard-wired into their nervous system.

"The best way for you to get what you want," said Jim Rohn, the success guru "is to help other people get what they want."

If you can fully grasp this concept, then implement it, you will never lack for material abundance.

Do you need a striking example?

How about the richest man in the world, Bill Gates? Chances are good that you are using some Microsoft products right now.

"You can create what you want in life; first you have to imagine it clearly. Imagine your ideal scene," said Marc Allen.

How do you use your imagination to transform your life on this special day?

You can use this day to create Christmas in your heart. This is a way of being that emulates the vision of the Christ. His entire vision was to teach people unconditional love.

What makes people wealthy? How have they attained such mastery of their craft? What makes them exhibit such flawless excellence?

Yes, it's their knowledge and experience, but that is the effect. What is the cause that started them thinking powerfully in the first place?

Simply, it's the way they think. It's their mindset.
Today I want to talk about the mindset between the rich and the poor.

Some people have been so hurt by life that they have lost their passion for it. They have, in essence, lost touch with their dream.

However, we all have a dream. It is an aspect of consciousness to be creative. It is part of the nature of the human soul to aspire.

Furthermore, just as every face on the planet is unique, so too is your talent to fulfill your dream.

For all your failings, and despite your many mistakes, life has picked you; it has believed in you, and it has given you a human body to explore its vast regions.

Using your will, you have sought to change the surface of your world, and time and again, you have felt despair and frustration when what you hoped to manifest either did not appear or appeared somehow diminished when it finally did show up.

Persistence is the royal road to success.

If you have this one quality, you will succeed in anything.

Lack it, and you will be a failure in life.

Persistence is to success what carbon is to steel, an essential ingredient.

In any endeavor, you will meet adversity after adversity, within and without, and unless you persist through them all, you will not be able to refine your raw understanding of something into the sophisticated knowledge that you need to succeed.

Here is why most people fail in an online business:

They see the possibilities immediately: You can market a digital or dropship product to the entire world, the process is almost completely automated, and you can get rich very quickly.

Profits online can rival that of an offline corporation.

People have made millions with websites, and the spinoff from those successes, including joint ventures, consulting and public speaking.
