Never give up
It is a strange game looking for income to become "one of the elite", but for many it is a thought that seems like you will never acheive. Do you ever ask yourself why? Why can't I become Bill Gates, or Oprah and live life to the fullest doing what I love the most and making money at the same time. That is just it, what Tiger Woods, Bill Gates, Oprah and all the rest have in common is they have the "fire". Think about it, when you know you need money to pay the rent, you dont just sit at home and think it will magically come, you work to get the rent. But living pay check to pay check is not the answer because you never save enough to live happy.
There is also another thought, you must take your thought process out of the employee mentality. When you lock yourself into the state that you cannot be inventive enough to market yourself, you live your life working for others success. No great idea works unless the author drive is like a "tiger". Just imagine a tiger, they stay to themselves, never revealing where they are at, until it is time to attack. Every great mind attacks to gain success, and you must get into this mindset to be successful. Always remember, never sell yourself thin until you have mastered one thing. Just think to what you are good at, and master that to your potential.
Take the time to realize your potential and discover what gifts you have and take the market like a tiger. Then and only then will you see your success rise to the top.
