What drives us to succeed? Is it the money, fame, or is it something deeper than this? And who deems us a success? Is it our friends, family or is it the intimate world we have created for ourselves? The answers to these questions can often be hard to find yet they are usually staring us right in the face. Many things drive different individuals to succeed in many diverse areas. Let’s take an Internet marketer for example. Most people would look at an Internet marketer and view them as just being in it for the money. While this may appear to be true on the surface, often looks can be deceiving. There are a choice few who actually just want to help others succeed in this area. Yes their services may come at a small fee, but this is not why they do it. You do not do what you do for free right? And just because you earn an income at what you do does this mean you are just in it for the money? Of course not, don’t be ridiculous, right! I believe that “money” has given the Internet marketer a bad wrap. There are some of us out there who are just trying to help others out and show them the ropes. We need to make a living so in-turn we charge for our services. So who deems someone a success? Well there can be an array of individuals. Often, we look to our peers and family as a gauge for our success. This is a shame. The only place we need to look is in the mirror! If you truly find purpose in what you do and love it, you will know that you are a success without others having to tell you so. You will feel it and this feeling will exude through every tiny little pore. This emanation will be plainly visible to others and therefore pronounce your success without uttering a word. Success does not come from a book you read, a seminar you attend or from your peers. It comes from within. Certainly books, seminars and peers can help drive you to succeed, but ultimately it is you who make the decisions that set you apart from the rest. It is these decisions from deep down, ones from the heart that truly count. If you study success stories like Warren Buffett or Michael Jordan, they are different because the looked within themselves and not to the outside world for their success. They trusted in their own desires and worked hard to make them happen. This inner drive is what set them apart and the many other success stories in the annals of time. In closing, do not look to others for their perception of your success. Look within yourself and do what you love. Whether it is Internet marketing, stock investing or basketball, it does not matter. The only thing that matters is that you love what you do! If you love what you do, you will not have to search for success; it will search for and find you! By: Shane Wilson
