Motivation For Success With Freddie Taylor: Get Your Mind Right
Regardless of what your strengths are, chances are that you have weaknesses. At the very least, you have room for improvement in one or two areas. If you’re honest with yourself, you can probably think of more than a handful of things that you gave up on and wish you hadn’t. Maybe you had a dream that slowly dwindled away as years passed because life’s obstacles happened to get in the way and eventually it became easier to forget than to forge ahead?
Get Your Mind Right!
I know many of you are still looking for something to click when it comes to your online efforts, whether that’s a goal of quitting your day job, or simply making your first dollar online.
For me, I recently came to the realization that I had let myself become comfortable.
What I mean by that is, I started to lose the drive and hunger I had for continuing to grow, progress and succeed further toward all my goals in life (not just online business).
Whatever it is for you, you need to get mind right first!
Thought is possibility. First in the mind, then in reality - Freddie Taylor
That’s a quote you might have seen before recently. It’s the tag-line of a blogger, motivator, and friend of mine named Freddie Taylor.
Who’s Freddie Taylor?
Before I talk a little more about how Freddie’s site and Skype chats have helped fuel a new fire in my life, here’s a few of my favorite posts that I think you should check out. Get some motivation in your life!

A couple weeks ago, I had watched a video of Freddie’s explanation of SWOT analysis. For those of you who don’t know what that is, basically it’s an analysis of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats.
Freddie was candid enough to give us a run down of his own SWOT analysis as it pertains to his online business ventures. When he got to threats, I had realized we had one in common, and that one for me was a big part of my recent problem.
I was beginning to become “arrogant of my own small successes and become complacent“.
Now, what that meant for me is even though I still get things done, I somehow lost the willingness to step on the gas and ended up stuck in cruise control. I had reached the goal of being self employed years ago, but I’m not even close to where I want to be. My goals and aspirations were sidelined and it started to affect my mental state.
All it takes to get going is one action guys! Get your mind right! Find what it is that ignite that inner passion!
I’m digging deep to get that adrenaline pumping that I had years ago when I first made the decision that I would be my own boss and not take no for an answer.
I’m reproducing that hunger I had when I got my first website live and created an online business that began with just the simple notion that “I Can”, even though I had no prior business experience.
I’m rekindling that fire in my belly that was burning and keeping me up for 36 hours straight after the first affiliate sale I had come through to my email and led to the creation of a multi-site network that paid my bills.
Freddie’s helped a lot, both with his motivational posts, but even more with his personal advice on Skype, and it’s really helped me kick things into gear.
If you’re looking for an extra hard push, or even just a positive reinforcement post to get you started today Freddie Taylor’s site is already full of that formula and he’s just getting started!
What Are You Going To Do Now?
Let’s Go Get ‘Em!
Cheers!

Glad to be one of the people to have motivated, shaken you awake from cruise control, and encouraged you to sit up, grab the wheel, hit the gas, and drive to success. We all need it from time to time.

Good to hear that you are stepping it up another notch, Mr Big Head. I had a similar post in mind actually, and recommend to everyone that they get on over to the motivational maestro Freddie Taylor.
The man goes from strength to strength and has a great take on all things blogosphere. He’s like my Rocky Balboa, you know?! Gives you that feeling like you had when you first watched Rocky, you wanna get on out there and take on the world. The man will put fire in your belly and ideas in your head. As Dready Kruger would say…Get some Freddie Taylor in your life!

That was a touching post. I could (and should) write a post on my blog about SuiteJ and how your Skype sessions have helped me.
It is so much more fun and motivating when we have friends to talk to and shoot the breeze with. As we spends loads of time online doing what some consider……boring work.
I don’t consider it boring in the least, just saying some do. But it livens things up considerably when virtual friendships develop and grow.
As usual i’m sure i’ve completely deviated from my original thoughts. LoL. But i know you get my drift.
I’m glad to hear that Taylor has helped you and motivated you to kick it up a notch. Bam! (from the new orleans chef guy)

@Freddie: NP man. Seriously, the convos help, and it’s appreciated
@Nota Bene: yeah, really trying to step it up man. I’ve begun to take a lot of steps in the last month or so. Freddie kinda pointed out that I need to get it ‘all right though”..not “just business”. Plus, he’s good at that…like one sentence will make you think for a day or so. lol
Dude, Rocky movies are my favorite of all time (with a bunch of other “underdog” stories coming close second)
@Ben: LOL. Freddie paid me with a priceless amount of motivation.
@Missy: Ahhh. Thanks. Glad I could help you Missy. You’re one my “Original 37″, so it’s a family affair.
Actually, you’re probably “Original 7″ lol.
@Joe: LOL@ “I’m running”. You could dangle a sammich from the brim of your hat and chase it. That’ll keep you motivated and in great shape. You can reward yourself by eating the sammich after a mile or two.
Cheers guys!

Absolutely love Freddie Taylor! I’m with Ben- his latest video on Bold Action really knocked one out of the park. I had to forward that one to a number of “stuck in the mud” bloggers and the reviews were awesome! Certainly a must-watch video.
@SuiteJ great job with the post and the love! Glad to hear things aren’t just moving along, but moving up!
