The universe cannot show you anything which you've intentionally chosen to block from your reality.

If someone offers you a gift, and you decline to accept it, the other person still owns that gift. The same is true of insults and verbal attacks.

When in doubt, act boldly, as if it were impossible to fail. In essence it is.

Don't die without embracing the daring adventure your life is meant to be.

Network selectively. Nothing says "business newbie" like shotgun networking. "You never know when someone might say yes" is marketing for dummies. Take the time to build a profile of your ideal customers, and target your networking activities to reach them. Speak to those who are already predisposed to want what you offer. Almost any profile is better than "anyone with a pulse."

Realize that you earn income by providing value - not time - so find a way to provide your best value to others, and charge a fair price for it.

It's important to note that you don't have to earn money from all of your interests. If you just dive in and pursue what you enjoy, you may be surprised to find out which interests help you generate income and which don't.
