From the Coalmines to the Gold Mines

I always had that dreamer's disease. I would lie in bed at night and visualize being my own boss, running my own business and traveling the world visiting exotic locations.

I always had that dreamer's disease. I would lie in bed at night and visualize being my own boss, running my own business and traveling the world visiting exotic locations.

"Desire, Determination and Drive."

I loved the concept but I would need $1500 to start my business. This is where the first "D" or "DESIRE" kicked in.

This is where the second "D" came in. The "D" of "Determination". I used the negative responses to fuel my determination.

I was a driven marketer that had to make up for my lack of talent with plenty of "Drive" to keep me in the game.

If you are bound and determined to succeed you simply cannot fail.
