You've seen successful people.They look like they found an extremely tall ladder sometime in their childhood, put their foot on the first rung, and haven't stopped climbing since. They are attractive. They have money. People like them. They are unstoppable.And then there are the other kind of people--those who never even learned how to walk.They struggle along on their hands and knees, not

You feel even better when you finally accomplish your goal! Few things worth doing are easy. You are going to have to work, fight, sweat, get dirty, maybe even cry, but when you see the finish line . . . Wow! What a feeling!So, when things are rough, when the money runs out before you are finished, when you fall ill to yet another virus, when you have no one to help you, what do you do?Well,

How determined are you? If you get sick do you stop pursuing your goals? If you lose your job do you give up? If your children are being rebellious and hard to get along with do you throw up your hands in defeat? What will stop you?If you are pursuing Aggressive Success the only answer to that question must be, "NOTHING!"Get out there and succeed!Paula Farris

Never give up!You can do it!I CAN!I am successful!Are these the kind of words that run through your mind?What about when things go wrong? What about when you fail? What do you tell yourself then?We can convince ourselves to give up. We can make a mistake, make a bad decision, fail, and the next thing we know, we've stopped moving forward. We've convinced ourselves that our goals aren't really

Some may wonder why I called this blog Aggressive Success. For years I have lived a passive life. I haven't tried very hard. I have taken the easy route. And when things have gonewrong--I've just given up, turned around, decided that I didn't really want what I was after after all. Yawn. It makes me bored just reading about it.About six months ago I decided that I wanted more. I wanted to

My one year old does a cute thing. Actually, he does many cute things, but I wanted to tell you about this certian one. Whenever he does something good or helpful--hands me the TV remote, puts something in the trash can, puts a toy away, etc.--he claps for himself.When he was very little and would learn a new skill or do something we liked we would all clap for him and say, "Yeah!" So he has

Lasers are amazing things. They allow us to focus a huge amount of energy and power into one very specific place. They have drastically changed the way do things like surgery. Not too long ago the only way to open someone up and fix something inside was to use a scalpel. And although medical scalpels are extremely sharp they don't compare with the presicion of a laser. Lasers focus! Do you

I live in Arizona where there is a lot of desert sand. Just in case you were wondering I can tell you it is not a good idea to drive a large truck into a lot of loose sand. You will get stuck! And the more you try to use the torque of your V10 engine to pull you out of the rut you are in the deeper that rut will get.Sometimes we need help!Here is a free resource that can help you in your quest

Today on my Internet Marketing Blog I posted about taking action. About Doing Something! If we just float through life letting things happen to us instead of purposely acting, we will get somewhere. But it will probably be far from where we had planned to end up. If I decide to take a sailboat out on the open sea and all I do is get in and hoist the sail, something will happen. I may get

Life rarely goes according to our ideal plan. Maybe as a child you dreamed of having a certain career, living in a certain city with a certain kind of husband or wife, having a certain number of children, making a certain amount of money. . . and the dream went on.But as an adult you found youself faced with a mountain of student loan debt or a career that is less than satisfying.

If we don't know ourselves we won't have vision. If we don't know who we are right now it is impossible to know who we want to be in the future. A lot of self-improvement failure comes from not being willing to work on ourselves right now. If we are willing to take out the microscope and truely examine our lives, we will see that there are areas that we need to change--right now--before we will

As I was typing a post to my other blog today I typed the phrase, "Are we there yet?" Now my other blog is on the subject of family travel so it was quite appropriate there, but what does it have to do with pursuing goals?How will we know when we are "there"? And where is "there" anyway? In my last post I talked about vision. And vision is the answer to both of those questions.Having a vision for

Have you ever seen the movie "Holes"? There are a few scenes in that movie where they show a vast stretch of desert land and all you can see is dirt with a whole bunch of holes dug in it. Without giving away too much of the plot, the reason that they are digging the holes is because they are looking for something. So they keep digging. The problem is that they don't seem to have a plan for

Okay, so it's been MUCH longer than a few days! I had every intention of posting when I said I would, but I didn't plan on what happened in the meantime. First my baby got sick. He is only one year old and he ran a fever for a few days and was very fussy so Mommy didn't get any work done. Then Mommy got sick. My heart rate, for some unexplained reason, keeps going up to about 120 beats per

I have realized something about my life. In order to accomplish what I set out to do I MUST have a plan. If I don't, then I tend to wander aimlessly through my days , ocassionally completing an important task, but usually just taking care of immediate needs. You know, the kind that jump in front of you and say something like, "If you don't deal with this RIGHT NOWthen . . .!!!"Life will always

I used to set a lot of goals. I had goals for ten years, five years, three years, one year, six months, one month, one week, today. . . But I haven't accomplished many of them and the ones that I have accomplished are more because they just worked out that way than because I purposely made them happen.I've been a great at planning, but terrible at following through. Although I have a desire of

I know from my own experience that most of the time I don't succeed at something because I am not willing to try. It isn't that I try and fail. I just don't try at all. Why is that?I'm an excellent planner. I can make a timeline, break down a large job into manageable tasks, and assign those tasks to the most qualified people. BUT I hardly ever get that far. I make the plan. Then I see

Okay, I'm just gonna relax with this blog. I read back over my first three posts and while not incredibly boring they just aren't me. Blogging is more of a personal form of communication and what I have written here so far has been more just giving out information.

Have you ever had blurry vision? What used to be clear and defined suddenly appears fuzzy and unclear? It can be a little disconcerting. It may make you want to just close your eyes until it goes away. Looking at the future can be like that. You try to imagine yourself in a year or two, maybe ten or twenty years if you are feeling brave. But it appears fuzzy and unclear. And really far away

There are days--like today--when I just have a headache or it's raining outside or it's Tuesday. Name your excuse. Any of them will do. What is happeing in your life TODAY that will prevent you from pursuing your goals? And, really, what does ONE DAY matter? I have a month, a year, 10 years, the rest of my life!No, I have today. I must press on. Who knows but tomorrow there could be a real

Why Aggressive Success? Because life isn't handed to us on a silver platter. If I want to become everything that I envision my life becoming I must do something about it! I can't live passively. I must actively seek opportunities, discipline my life, gain control of my time, step outside of my comfort zone. Get aggressive! My Mom used to tell a story when I was younger. I don't remember
