I've got a question for you.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
No, I am not asking this question of children.
Heck, as a child I went through a phase where I wanted to be a dentist.
Nothing against dentists, but I can't even begin to imagine myself in that profession!
You know, it's sad, but many people can't answer this question.
I've accomplished a lot in my forty-five years, But we never stop growing. Growth means change. And change means that the person we are tomorrow is not the same person we are today. So I'm on a constant mission to figure out what I want to be when I "grow up."
How about you?
Success in life, whatever that means for you, does not happen in a vacuum. Even is success is winning the lottery by your definition (which I think is pretty lame), you still have to purchase a ticket for that to be possible.
Success takes delberate strategizing and action.
In fact, I have defined seven essential keys, that if applied to your life, are just about guaranteed to bring you closer to the success you hope for.
The first module in my Elevate Blueprint product is called "The Seven Keys to Success."
I'd like to skip the sales page for my product and go directly to the video which I have placed online for you to enjoy for free.
Be sure to have something handy to take notes with. I think you are going to enjoy this talk. But most of all, I hope you are inspired and energized to be the person God has created you to be.
Please leave your comments below after watching! I value your feedback. :-)
It's Del.icio.us!
Furl It!

Joel,
I don't think I will ever grow up or stop growing. For me, I personally believe that when people feel that they are done or have accomplished everything, it's almost like they have resigned to giving up and are ready for a dirt nap.
I find that it's best to continue to press forward and move to greater and better goals. I too am an Entrepreneur by default finding that I had some of the same challenges that you did.
Thanks for the great information

Dear Joel,
Your question is correct:
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
I am naive! Yes, a naive
the "child" in relation to you
the field of business on the net!
Answer: When you have "great"
trying to help others achieve "high"

Hi Joel
Was'up!
Man, I just luv your down to earth delivery style. And as for the content... well, if this first module is anything to go by, I think we're all in for a real treat! I for one can't wait for the next installment!
BTW, loved your gig at the O2 in London recently... Chaching!

Joel, hey!
It's gotta be a coincidence of one of its kind. I had been thinking about success principles myself recently. Whatever I have learned as lesson (basically from long list of mistakes i made) & my success, I would say there are only 2 success principles you gotta start with. The rest can be cultivated, but these you must be your first step:
1. Vision of your destination
2. Passionate perseverance
That's it.

I wanted to be an inventor (I love to solve problems and create solutions) or a chiropractor ( I love to help people). However, I have found something that I can do both of the things I love and that is building my USANA business.

Hi Joel - You have got to be the first guy on the internet that I ever signed up with to receive information from and I must say, you just keep going on, like the little batteries that never run out of power.
I didn't know anything when I first signed up with you, which would have been about 4 years ago now, but I had to look for an alternative type of income as I was made redundant from my 9-5 role. I must say, it's been a long road but because I do love the internet, and the information you constantly pass on, I am still here and vow to make it online.
Many thanks and don't stop what you are doing.

I must have watched Module One, "The Seven Keys to Success" at least three times.
I found it to be very inspiring, motivational, and educational. I learned quite a bit from just this one Module alone.
I knew about "your story" and how you became the brand you now are, but never from your own lips. Having you tell the story gives all of us inspiration to follow our dreams and turn them into reality- Thanks!
