BE A MILLIONAIRE!

  You have more control and influence than you think. These were the words of an economist I heard the other night as he talked about the economy, the housing market and what he saw as inevitable recession.
    He reminded his audience that a lot of people make a lot of money during recessions. He stressed that these are the times when successful people gain market share. He shouted when he told us to look for buying opportunities over the next three years because there will be many.
    In essence he was saying not to let the economy dictate your situation and success. Rather change your belief system and focus on opportunities instead of challenges.
    Reminds me of the Positive Success Formula I wrote about in The Energy Bus. E + P = O
    We can’t control the events (E) in our life. We can't control the economic conditions. We can't control the actions of others. But we can control our positive energy and our positive actions (P) and in turn this will determine the outcome (O).
    The economist is right. We have more control than we think. Our positive energy, our belief system, our attitude, our actions have a huge impact on the life we live and the success we enjoy.
    I'm not saying it will be easy. We will certainly be tested on our journey. We may have set backs. But if we apply the Positive Success Formula, we will have a big say and influence in the outcome. Instead of letting the world create us we will have a significant role in creating our world.
