A collection of success tips that I have gathered over many years of working with independent online business entrepreneurs. I have created a list of my 100 favourites that I personally follow to drive forward my online home business. I organised the tips into areas covering attitude and discipline, focus and visualisation, time and task management, income and lifestyle, knowledge and skills, personal growth and lifestyle, evaluating your activity, and giving and adding value.
ATTITUDE & DISCIPLINE
12 OUNCES EQUALS
1. Be persistent and give yourself time for momentum to kick in.
2. Make up in numbers what you lack in skills.
3. Celebrate success at every step.
4. Learn to manage the opinions - everyone has a right to have one - never make it personal.
5. You are not the message, you are the messenger.
6. Your family and friends may not understand the journey you are on.
7. Everything works when we work.
8. If you get overwhelmed and confused, go back to doing the basics.
9. Pass the three-part test - loyalty, work habits, consistency.
10. Have a warrior spirit. Set objectives and take action every day.
11. Make a commitment to any new activity. Succeeding at something is about taking not making a decision.
12. Being successful is the ability to continue with your plan long after the emotion and circumstances surrounding your original decision has passed.
13. Your confidence is what makes you attractive in the market place. People buy people they know, like and trust.
14. Avoid negative thinking and negative people that bring you down and steal your dreams.
15. FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real. Feel the fear and do it anyway. Growth comes from stepping outside your comfort zone.
16. Run to your fears. The place where your greatest fears live is also the place where your greatest growth lies. (Robin Sharma)
17. An ounce of action is worth a ton of ebooks.
18. All excuses are equal and none of them count.
FOCUS & VISUALISATION
19. Know what you want, why you want it, and when you want it by. Write it down, read it twice a day. Know the price and pay the price.
20. Visualise your destiny - 'see it' and plan it - be very specific about what success looks like and feels like, and do this for each and every milestone or goal you set.
21. If you think you can or think you can't, you will always be right. (Henry Ford)
22. Try to be solution focused.
23. Understand the true power of dreams and goals, they act like magnets pulling us forward and need to be strong enough to break away from the past pulling your back.
24. Only an idea has the power to spread.
25. The only thing you need to believe in is your own work ethic and how badly you want to succeed.
26. Keep your inner flame going with personal development and being active in the community.
27. Use positive language. Words, thoughts, actions, results. Pursue all your challenges and obstacles with a positive mental attitude.

39. Develop good time management. It's not the hours you put into your business, it's the business you put into your hours.
40. Lead flow is the source of your momentum and income growth. Don't over-worry on conversions until you have good lead flow into your business.
