When a person wants an excuse, any excuse will do. I often talk about some of the recent entrepreneurs who have become billionaires... Steve Jobs, Bill Gates (the richest man in the world), Sergey Brin and Larry Page (the Google boys), Michael Dell with Dell Computers... And then we think, "Oh yeah, but they were in technology. I can't do that - I'm not good in technology. They were there at the beginning of the movement and I've missed that." Like I said, when you want an excuse, any excuse will do. On the other hand, there's Colonel Harlan Sanders, who as a senior citizen goes out to form - with no resources - a business based on fried chicken. Now, what was new and revolutionary, and a new megatrend, about fried chicken? What was new and revolutionary and a new megatrend about another hamburger, like Ray Kroc offered? What was new, revolutionary, and high-tech about another store where you can buy a few things, as Sam Walton created? An Australian entrepreneur is doing $30 million worth of business a year nowadays in the furniture moving business. He has 500 employees. No wonder you don't hear about him - because compared to people like Michael Dell and Bill Gates, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, he's small stuff. He admits he's not a big business person. He was wheeling and dealing in the secondhand merchandise business, and these guys are notoriously not wealthy, even if they do have a following that brings them an income. He did what we always say to do. He got conscious. He decided EXACTLY what he wanted. It was clear and well-formed. He had a definite direction, a definite chief aim, though he had no way of "connecting the dots" at the time he defined his dream. Quoting Mike O'Hagan, from Queensland, Australia: "At this point I decided that what I, me personally, wanted, was to earn a heap of money every week, and have the time to enjoy it. "I figured out the only way I could do this was to find something lots of people needed. Something that I could develop a great product for, that was easy to make sales in, that I could systematize so others could do it for me, the intention being to create a cash cow that I'd never sell, and let it feed my lifestyle for life." Are we talking about getting specific, as we talk about with the Formula for Riches? Are we talking about visualizing exactly what you want? Are we talking about setting the demands so you have the criteria, so you'll know if something is an acceptable thing to investigate or not? Oh, and his new business called him on the phone.

About the Author: Ted Ciuba had a rough upbringing in the North Texas town of Wichita Falls, which included one episode in which he out-ran a string of lights and sirens at 2 am on a motorcycle. After a few years in the oilfields, Ciuba tried his hand at selling, which, while he learned a lot, he earned very little... And so he found himself living in his late 30's hiding out from bill collectors in a single-axle camper trailer on the western edge of the Davidson County line. But that was about to change. He escaped to California, and with a love of language, found himself with a handful of advanced degrees, suiting him for teaching at California State University. It was there... along came the Internet. Ciuba embraced it, certain it was the future. He made his first commercial money online in 1994, and quickly rose to being celebrated as America's Foremost Internet Marketing Consultant. He was the original founder of World Internet Summit (www.TheWorldInternetSummit.com), the largest Internet training organization in the world. His ecommerce system, http: //www.AutoPilotRiches.com is the standard the Internet Marketing gurus use. Though he's stepped down from World Internet Summit to follow his human potential interests, Ciuba is still active in internet marketing, driving hordes of buying traffic to small & medium sized businesses. (Visit http: //BePro11.com to see how he can help you.) And then, in an effort to help his students & coaching clients, he began teaching the success classic, Napoleon Hill's Think & Grow Rich. But all did not go smoothly... Because it needed a serious updating after 70+ years of loyal service. (Story at http: //s4m2.co/originstntagr ) Thus was born the bestseller, *The New Think And Grow Rich* by Ted Ciuba, establishing Ciuba as a top human potential trainer worldwide. Mentor's Magazine calls him "Napoleon Hill of the Modern Age". He says anyone of normal human capacity can get rich, because... "One person getting rich while another continues the struggle is not about available characteristics, traits, & capacities not equally distributed in a normal human being... What makes the difference is when the light switches on, a person decides, stokes their desire, builds intelligent plans, & follows through, embracing the normal adventures of any great undertaking."
