While I don't like that selling technique, the question is valid. Great ideas do create good businesses when acted upon. Today I share some ideas that worked for me, in the hope that they can work for you too. Thanks for joining me today.

Have you ever felt like you just cannot find that one thing that will help you achieve your goals? Many of us feel that we have missed that one great idea that could help us get ahead ... help us live the life we dream about. And that thought, the idea that you've missed it, is perhaps the main thing standing between you and the success you deserve.

Now I'm no Dale Carnegie or Tony Robbins. And the message here is not that 'happy thinking will fix everything.' The message is twofold.

1. Focus and action on good ideas creates results.

2. Everyone feels the same way you do.

I'll be candid with you. I still find myself looking for that one great idea. And our businesses are doing better than ever. This drives my wife nuts. ;)

Almost every 'guru' I speak with feels the same way. Oh, they will acknowledge their past success, but the majority of their time is spent the same way you spend your time ... looking for something that works.

The good news (great news really) is that you are so much closer than it may appear to you now. All it takes is an idea and some action.

A ship cannot be turned when it sits by the dock. Give it some movement, just a little movement will do, and you can steer a giant ship with just a tiny rudder.

Even the most massive door is completely dependant on the tiniest of hinges to open. So, what are the hinges in your life that will swing the door of success wide open?

Two words describe them ... ideas and action.

It's just that simple. As many as 1000 times Thomas Edison fail before successfully inventing the light bulb, we also must be presistent until we reach our goal of success. Ideas are the initial point of our success.

In that light, I've listed some ideas below that have worked for me over the years. In the five years I've been online I've experienced a range of economic levels. Since I'm not speaking with you personally, and can't know your level, I've listed a few for each level. I hope they help.

Here's my surefire method for deciding what to do next.

1. First start with three of your best ideas.

2. Draw a line through the top two.

3. The one you choose must be done with all your soul.

Okay, I'm kidding a bit. But believe me; getting started is the key, even if you don't make the perfect choice. You probably know enough right now. To help me remain focus on the goal I have set for myself, I start with this basic question. "If there were one idea I could pass on to my children, what would it be?" Once I answer that one, I go out and do it. Start here today, first by developing your best idea and taking the neccessary action to change your results by this time next month. It will be better.
