Warren Buffett did not get rich by investing loose change in his pocket. Bill Gates created Microsoft daring to dream big goals. Walt Disney did not envision an amusement game. Olympic athletes don’t spend time in the gym casually visiting and doing an exercise or two half-heartedly.

Every successful person takes massive action. Dare to dream big goals, choose to design a massive plan of action to achieve those goals, and commit to implementing that plan today. Regardless of whether your dream is to make money online with a home business, a franchise, or a physical business, the business principles are identical. Every successful person and every successful business followed the exact same formula.

Start by having a heart-to-heart conversation with yourself. What do you passionately want to achieve? The keywords are “you passionately want to achieve.” Your goal must ignite your soul with an all-consuming passionate desire. Selecting a goal that you think you should choose or one that someone else chooses for you creates long-term disaster.

My father declared that I did not deserve a college education and that I would stay in the local farming community and get a mundane job as a secretary in a local business. The very thought of doing that drained the life out of me. History records many cases of people who tried to live the life that someone else, usually a well-intentioned parent, designed for them. Rarely did that lead to a successful and satisfying life for the child.

This is your Life. This is the only life you will have on this earth. You have the right and the duty to design the life you want to live, create the plan to make that goal a reality, and take the massive action necessary to implement that plan. IF YOU DO NOT DESIGN THE PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE, BY DEFAULT SOMEONE ELSE WILL DESIGN IT. Who do you think will do a better job of designing the life you truly choose to live? You or someone else?

Jim Rohn, noted business philosopher, asks you what you think someone else has designed for you and answers the question. “Not much.” Are you willing to settle for “not much” for your life? I am not. Consult Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Walt Disney, and Jim Rohn again. Each of these men created an incredible empire for themselves by following a simple formula. They dreamed of a massive goal, envisioned it accomplished, devised a plan to make that goal a reality, and took the massive action necessary to achieve it.

All successful entrepreneurs follow the exact same simple formula. Business principles remain constant throughout the centuries. Whether you choose a successful small business or a gargantuan corporation, the business principles are identical. The only difference between where you are now and where these financial giants are at the top of their careers is dream, plan and massive action.

You have more opportunities right now with online business potential than ever before in history. Success comes to those who dream big and take massive action.
