- Jim Rohn

No matter how great the opportunity or idea...  Doing nothing always earns nothing.

     Success is not an accident!  Many people look at their doctor, their realtor, their lawyer, the internet guru and say "he's so lucky". or "He's so smart, I wish I could have done that", etc...

     It's not about Luck, Ideas, or Intelligence.  It's about Action! WHAT YOU DO is infinitely more important that WHAT YOU KNOW.  Action is always the key.

     IT'S A FACT: 

SUCCESSFUL people are those who are willing to actually do the things that UNSUCCESSFUL people are unwilling to do.
