“The *Real* Secret To Success (Often Overlooked)”
You might say - and many people including myself do say - that there are a number of keys to success.
But when I think about it, there's something underlying all those things. A "secret" if you will. And the most fundamental
of all.
Something from which everything else flows.
Something which, if it doesn't exist, almost certainly means
you will NOT achieve success.
You see, the real secret to success IS NOT:
"What you know"
"Who you know"
or even...
"Who knows you"
(Although these are all relevant).
It's actually:
"WANT to know"
That's right. You must WANT what you are pursuing with every
ounce of your being. For it's having this burning desire that
drives you to get or develop EVERYTHING ELSE you need to succeed:
-- the qualities like persistence, patience and flexibility...
-- the knowledge and skills...
-- the resources...
-- and the people.
If you don't really want it... you're unlikely to do everything
in your power to get it. In particular, you won't do all the
hundreds of "little" things that make all the difference.
So what do you do if there's something you think you *should*
want... but don't really?
Good question. And one that's not easily answered... not unless
it has something to do with mind control!
But what IS clear is this: if you don't really want what you
are going after... you're unlikely to get it. Certainly not if
it's something not easily achieved.
So... be honest with yourself. What do you really want?

“Why You SHOULD Put All Your Eggs In One Basket ”
When it comes to investing, we're usually urged to diversify.
Well, the reality is that diversifying may be the WORST thing you
can do to build wealth and achieve financial security.
And I can prove it.
In the latest issue of Investment Success Formula, you get a FREE powerful tool for developing your investment strategy and literally constructing your own investment portfolio.
And, as you'll see, to achieve your investment goals, diversifying your money across multiple assets may NOT be the best way to achieve those goals.
In fact, the best way may actually be to "put all your eggs in one basket"!
How can this be... given that just about every investment adviser and their dog advises people to diversify their investments?
Am I just plain wrong... or am I looking at investing from an entirely different angle?

“What To Do If Your Job Is S.O.B.A.D.”
A job that involves Sitting On your Backside All Day (S.O.B.A.D.)
can be hazardous to your health!
Leaving aside the health risks
associated with being sedentary, sitting down for hours at a time
can strain your muscles and eyes.
Fortunately, there are gentle exercises you can do to help
alleviate the potential strain. Try doing these several times a
day:
1. Head - gently roll your head from side to side, holding each
position for 10 seconds. Then turn from side to side, again
holding for 10 seconds. Repeat 3-5 times.
2. Shoulders - circle your shoulders forward, and then backward,
several times. Repeat 3-5 times.
3. Wrists - with your palms outward, interlace your fingers and straighten your arms out in front. Hold for 10 seconds and repeat
a few times.
4. Back - interlace your fingers, turn your palms up above your
head, then straighten your arms, slowly leaning from side to
side. Repeat several times. Then, with your hands supporting your
lower back, gently arch back and holding for 5-10 seconds. Repeat
3-5 times.
5. Legs - straighten your leg and rotate your foot and ankle.
Repeat 3-5 times for each leg.
6. Eyes - look from side to side, then up and down, without moving
your head. Then look at something in the distance (at least 3
metres away) and let your eyes refocus on the object for about 10
seconds.
7. Whole Body - Get up and go for a walk!

“How To Publish Your Own Successful Email Newsletter”
I was going to write a report on how to publish a successful email newsletter.
After all, I've been publishing Success Accelerator for about a year and a half now, and prior to that, I wrote 3 weekly newsletters for my previous Internet business. So I reckon I've learned a thing or two.
But Kevin Riley has beaten me to the punch!
Kevin, who's a good friend of mine, has just produced a report" Recipe For Delivering Your Own Popular Newsletter" which pretty much covers everything you need to know about publishing email newsletters, autoresponder series, and promotional emails.
So I'm not going to re-invent the wheel... get Kevin's report instead:
