Winners don’t blame fate for their failures, nor luck for their successes. They know that a goal is only as worthy as the effort that’s required to achieve it

We spend so much time believing that our cirumstances dictate our perspective on life. So if we are in the middle of a crisis life is “bad” and if we are madly in love life is “fantastic”
Your way of looking at and/or intrepreting a situation that happens in your life is what determines your perspective.
If life is great no matter what happens then your perspective will be one way, if life is awful no matter what happens then the experiences of your life will be another.
When you take on a different perspective and outlook on life you can give yourself some powerful choices about where you want to go or what you want to do next and a simple change in perspective can make all the difference to how you feel.
Try it now. If there is something bothering you see it from a different perspective. I am not going to tell you what perspective to see it from and will trust that you can do that now all by yourself !
Changing perspective obviously works well when things arent going great and can make all the difference to helping you get through it.
Unfortunately being a parent often means difficult choices; one of the hardest choice any mother makes is the choice between staying at home and returning to work.
For many mothers there is no choice, it is as natural for them to work as it is to be a parent, for others the lack of choice is a reflection of financial necessity. Money is needed to pay bills and buy food so going back to work is necessary even if it isn’t always wanted.
I believe that no woman should have to make that choice if she truly believes she should stay at home. Being at home is not an ideal excuse to watch daytime TV but is a job in and of itself. A stay at home mother is raising a future adult.
It is well documented that the critical years in the life of our children is between 0-7 years old. Being loved and cared for by a relaxed parent without financial worries is the best opportunity we can provide a child.
Also, children change so quickly during those crucial years and I missed out on being at home with my daughter (who is my eldest child) was there for my eldest son from the age of 3 and spent all my time at home when my youngest was born.
I can do nothing to bring back the opportunity I missed out with my eldest, watching her grow up and take her first steps. Spending time in the park and watching Sesame Street! But I can support other mothers who don’t want to miss out on this precious time.
S.A.M’s or stay at home mothers have become major players in the business world. For all of us this has meant hard work, dedication and the ability to juggle business and home life.
The steady progression of financial opportunities available on the internet have opened the doors for all mothers that need or choose to work to enjoy the benefits of both worlds by working from home at a schedule that suits their home environment.
Many women may avoid working on the internet because they do not feel like they have the skills or formal education adequate for running their own home based business. After all there is generally quite a lot involved if you are starting a business of your own from scratch; everything from buying a domain to setting up a merchant account, product creation, customer support and finding people to visit your site and buy your product.
Certainly creating a new business is often an expensive affair with purchasing and fees for all the “this and that” necessities, let alone further education for training courses to ensure you succeed online, and having to build a network of contacts who want to do business with you. The cost of good will when purchasing a business often far exceeds the expected returns and many new online business will not see a return for at least a couple of years.
This is why more and more mothers turn to successfully established institutions like Success University, who remove these negatives from the equation for women who are eager to create a viable home based business. http://expand.successuniversity.com/slim
Success University is a turnkey business; this in fact means that everything that you need to immediately start your own home based business is provided and that ensures you start right away with an effective functional business.
No hosting is needed, no need to buy domain names or to find a product, or even to create your own product. Just invest in the monthly subscriptions and have everything taken care of, including customer support.
For women who once worked full time and then make the choice to stay at home and raise their children there is often an emotional period of unrest as they suddenly find themselves away from adult company and conversation.
The other great feature of Success University is that it not only offers everything you need to get started in business but the very nature of the business is personal development courses that can help boost confidence. This offers mothers who are staying at home the skills and life coaching to make the transition between leaving work and staying at home so easy.
Soon after joining Success University and taking part in the courses on offer you will be able to proudly state “I am a stay at home mother and I run my own home based business” trust me, this is always a source of further discussion and interest for both men and women.
Women who have been content in the role of stay at home mother for many years often come to a time in their lives where they begin to feel restless because their children have now grown up and are perhaps in high school or college. After years of not being in the workplace they lack the confidence to get back into establishing themselves as a career woman and mother.
But it doesn’t have to be that way because like new stay at home mothers, mothers who have been at home for some time can also choose to continue to stay at home and work, whilst making use of the confidence building courses that will give them the business skills they need to get started.
Always remember that the role of a stay at home mother and home maker is a very demanding and rewarding position, and certainly one to be totally admired and shouted about loudly! What’s wrong with choosing to stay at home and raise our future adults? Absolutely nothing!
Of course if you want to keep your hand in a work environment, you want to earn an income for your family and contribute financially to your household and/or you just want to feel like you have something for you. Something that you do because it fills you with exciting and joy then consider running a turnkey business like Success University.
So to answer the question “should mothers stay at home” for me the answer is a definite YES. If that’s what they want for themselves and it should be made as easy as possible for them to do that.

I am always being asked how I managed to get so much done in developing my internet based businesses and it really is simple. What I have is complete focus on my future vision, but also what I need to get done that month, week and day to ensure that vision becomes a reality.
The other thing I have is huge quantities of desire!
I have a desire to provide value in everything I do. I have a desire to support women who are ready to work towards running a successful internet based business. I have a desire to travel the world with my children and provide them with the very best that life (and money) has to offer.
So if I am working on my computer until 2am it really isn’t “work” for me. I love what I do (although the 2am thing isn’t recommended every night!!!)
There are no magic formulas to becoming successful it is all about focusing on what works rather than what doesn’t work.
It is all about focusing on what you want, not on what you don’t want.
What is your conversation that focuses on lack, limitation and/or what you don’t want? Change that and instead focus on what you want to achieve. Focus on that and nothing else. Keep your focus on what you desire.
Believe in your mind, heart and soul that you have no other option than to be successful.
No matter what is happening in your world keep your focus on the fact that you will succeed, feel it deep within you and hold onto that at all times. Engage your emotions too, allow yourself to feel the excitement of achieving your desires.
I am not talking here about what you “hope” may happen, but on what you absolutely know, deep within you, is possible. The achievement comes from knowing that you want it, that you focused on it, and that you overcame some major limits to get it.
What is your heart’s desire? Now read that again because I did not ask what is it that your head desires, we all know the head wants you to pay the bills and make sure everything is safe and secure. But what is it that your heart desires?
Definition of Desire 1 to wish or long for; crave. 2. to request; ask for
So when you desire something not only do you long for it, but you are also sending out a request, you are asking for what you want. And when the burning desire fills your very soul and when you just KNOW that this is going to happen – it is impossible for anything else but success to take place!
When you have a burning desire for something and are ready to stand in faith (faith – the absolute knowing deep within you, like you know that when you wake up tomorrow there will still be air to breathe – that kind of faith!) the universe conspires to make it happen.
Suddenly information comes your way, people call you, and doors open.
We need to work out what our desire is and then focus on it until it has been achieved. Let me repeat that. Focus on it until it has been achieved.
Not until the next great internet based business opportunity comes along, not for one week until you have decided it is a complete mess and you just don’t want to do it anymore. Not until you think it is not worth bothering with because it hasn’t arrived when you were expecting it!
No. This is about focusing on your desire until it has become a reality in your life.
But watch yourself here, because there is a very thin line between flogging a dead horse and never giving up! How do you know which of the two you are doing?
You need to know yourself. You need to know when your actions are limiting you or are truly what you want to do. You will have internal signals that tell you what your actions are really about.
If you think you don’t or if you don’t recognise them it’s time to go back to basics and re-introduce you to yourself! Get to know who you are so you recognise these signals. Its is imperative to your future business succcess.
Focus + Desire ( – Distraction) x Support = Success
Okay so you do the math! Discover what you desire, focus on it, limit distractions, gain support and success will be your final result.
Of course life will throw a few obstacles along the way, remember though these “obstacles” are a real blessing because they are supporting your growth and development.
You will either allow what happens to crush you or make you stronger. Your reaction to challenges and obstacles will be everything. If you have a true desire to achieve something then nothing will stand in your way.
If you have a true desire for something but an underlying belief that it is not possible, or a need to sabotage your success then you have just hit your biggest obstacle ever. Yourself.
Trust me on this one, if you do not have everything you desire in your life right now it is not because the delivery didn’t turn up on time, or people let you down. It is not because the prototype didn’t work properly or because there wasn’t enough money.
If any area of your life isn’t working it is because deep within you there is a part of you making sure you screw up.
There are only two ways that you can uncover why you do what you do. The first is to acknowledge that you do it, and the second is to ask yourself some questions that will help you uncover what you do and/or why you do it but you at least need to remain open to the possibility that there may be something there in the first place.
Focus and desire – it’s all you really need to enjoy success. There is no secret to achieving what you want. Galileo said “You cannot teach anyone anything; just show them where the answers are inside them” If it’s time for answers at least now you know where to go to find them.
