This four syllable word has cost more people more opportunity than any other one thing. There is another word that has a similar effect and that is procrastination.
There is plenty of evidence to support the fact that these words are really one in the same, we procrastinate because we are in a state of indecision. So what causes us to procrastinate? Well it is something that we have touched on a few times here, FEAR. Now this may sound silly to you. You may want to hold on to your position and say
"Its not fear, its because we are not 100% sure of the outcome of our actions."
Well that in essence is fear. Can you imagine this world if everybody thought like that? We would not have TV, we would not have the motor car, we would not have the incandescent light bulb, we would not have KFC or McDonlads or really any of the modern conveniences we now enjoy.
The people that came up with the ideas for the things we now, mostly, take for granted, were certain that they were going to do something, there was no indecision about what they were setting about to achieve. Did they know exactly how they were going to do it? I doubt it very much. Was everything in place and working perfectly? I can almost guarantee it was not.
No these people simply made a decision that automatically cut themselves of from any other possible outcome. Some of this may sound familiar, what I am trying to highlight in this post however, is that it is our own indecision our own fear of, failing, of succeeding, of what ever, that is causing us to put off the things, yes to procrastinate which of course is ultimately costing us everything that we could every truly desire.
So somethings to remember, ALL of the great entrepreneurs throughout time had a commonality, they ALL made decisions quickly and changed them slowly, IF AT ALL.
They did/do not wait for the perfect circumstances, they understand that the perfect circumstances really don't exist.
They did/do not let any outside influences steal their dreams and alter their plans. And what a beautiful thing!
Its simple, you make a decision as to whether or not your are ready for, wealth, success, loving relationships, or what ever in your life.
Its either yes and you take action towards your desired result.
or
Its no and you do nothing, you sit back and let your circumstances control you.
Something also to note, it might not always be plain sailing, in fact from my experience there is a lot of rough weather, this is only sent to test our resolve, to make us stronger, to ensure that we are ready for our new found utopia.
If you can remember that throughout your journey, and stay true to your course, then you will always make it to your destination.
John Lavenia explains this beautifully in his book 'Integrity is Everything'
He says that there is a simple way to see if you are going in the right direction, or making the right decision. Ask yourself two questions;
1. Is this going to take me closer to my goal?
If the answer is no, simple don't do it, if the answer is yes then follow it up with this question.
2. Will my actions impair or hurt anyone?
If the answer is yes, then do not take action, if the answer is no, take action and do not look back. Cut off from any other outcome.
Decision (Be Do Have anything you desire) Indecision (let life be your master)
You Decide.

What is the Price you are paying?
From time to time we are tempted to look at what someone else has in their life. And from this stems many thoughts and nine times out of ten when we are looking at someone that 'seemingly' has more, more luck, more money, more 'things' we get a feeling of jealousy.
I am sure you can all relate to having experienced that at some stage or another throughout your life, after all, most of us have been brought up to believe that 'money is evil' or that 'money doesn't grow on trees' or even 'all the money in the world will not make them happy'. Of course these are stories that have been passed down by generations of people who believe that success is somehow reserved for 'someone else', some how outside of their circle of influence.
You know the only thing that separates these 'successful' people from everyone else is the fact that they have simply made a choice about what they want to Be what they want to Do and what they want to Have in life and go and set about taking the necessary actions it will take to succeed in what ever it is they have chosen to become successful in.
Did it come easily to these people that have chosen to succeed? More than likely not, most people do not see what goes on behind the scenes of a successful person, they either choose to be blind to it or would rather believe that it is by some strange force that only a few people have. This way they can put off taking responsibility for where they are in their own existence, or in some cases sub-existence.
Another thing that separates these successes is the fact that once they have made their decision they cut off from any other possible outcome. They have a knowingness about where they are headed. They know beyond doubt that they will succeed.
Because of this knowingness they are willing to take the action necessary to fulfill their desired outcome, is this comfortable? No. Is this an easy thing to do? No. Would it be considered unreasonable by most people? Yes, and this is more than likely why most people choose not to be successful.
So what is the price you are paying?
Successful people pay the price of ridicule and shortsightedness of others, they know that the short term, loss, pain, call it what you like, is worth the outcome. So they take action
They would rather invest the time now, even if that is two to three years, what ever, than spend their whole life comparing themselves to someone else, someone who may or may not have it all together. They would rather live their life on purpose!
So again I ask, 'What is the price you are paying?'

Book of The Month, Holosync Awakening Prologue
Hi all that time of the month again, well a day late but who is counting?!
This month I have gone a little differently, this month we are looking at Bill Harris's 'Holosync Awakening Prologue' product from Center Point research. So not a book, but an Audio program.
This is effectively a meditation tool. If you have never experienced meditation and would like to find a great place to start, this would be a good place.
Having never had the pleasure of meditating before using this product I find it very easy to use and started receiving the benefits of Transcendental meditation almost immediately.
There are a number of levels that you can work through and this can take several years, however that being said, it can get you to a state of deep meditation that could otherwise take 10 to 15 years of consistent practice.
You also get some other great material with your the system and a great level of personal support if desired.
Enjoy
