How To Succeed In Tough Times

By Gordon Mackay
Succeeding in tough times requires using certain universal principles. Unfortunately we don't learn these in school or university. You learn these principles playing the "game of life" and learning from people who have used these principles to create vast amounts of wealth. This does take action!

The first thing to remember is that it is not your fault if you are going through tough times.

Have you ever been taught by your grand parents, parents, teachers, school, university how to make money and become financially free?

I don't think so!

This is one of the reasons only 4% of people at the age of 65 are financially free. Using the analogy (comparison) of sailing a boat will give one an idea of how to succeed in tough times.. Anyone can learn and sail a boat when conditions are ideal, the water is smooth and the wind light. However what happens when the wind picks up, the sea gets rough, waves are crashing on the boat, it's raining and there is lightning - what do you do now? If you haven't prepared, done sufficient training and got the experience you have a problem.

Here of some tips:

Firstly, ask yourself, what is the worst that can happen? Accept the worst situation. Then start immediately improving on this situation.

Here are some tools you can use to handle a financial crisis and become wealthy at the same time.

Get your mind and thinking right

1. Make the decision you are going to handle the situation with great success

2. Believe in your decision

3. Start taking action

Stay away from all negativity

1. Stop reading the newspapers and watching the news

2. Stay away from negative people

3. Read any books that uplift you and make you feel good

4. Listen to motivational C D's

Take vitamins and get exercise

1. Take a multi vitamin complex that is high in the B vitamins - will reduce stress

2. Take Calcium and Magnesium. It's a natural tranquilizer. Will also help you sleep better.

3. Take vitamin C, vitamin E and Omega 3 with the above.

4. Go for walks, run or the gym - first thing every morning. Will raise your energy levels and you will feel good.

Confront your situation

1. Make a list of all your problems i.e. every single problem.

2. Divide the list into two

3. First list - the problems you can do something about.

4. Second list the problems you cannot do something about immediately.

You will experience discomfort as you write out these lists. However after you have completed the two lists in full you will experience a sense of relief. What you have done is "confronted" your situation and put yourself in control.

Communicate

1. If you have a cash flow problem contact the people, banks or whoever and explain your situation.

2. Keep everyone you owe money up to date in writing of what your plans are and how you are progressing..

Opportunity in every problem

Going through your financial crisis can be challenging. The good news is, when you look back one day you will see the opportunities that came about though this period in your life.

At the end

You will come out a much happier, healthier, wiser and wealthier person.

Life is a Game

Think of life as a game. If we never had problems and knew everything that was going to happen to us. Life would be very boring. So get excited about this game and GO FOR IT!

You can do it

P.S. Nothing last forever.
