Before we know it, time runs out There is no perfect time to start.

The best strategy is just to jump in and get started.

Don’t keep putting things off waiting for 12 doves to fly over your house in the sign of a cross before you begin. Just start.

Take action and get started – today! You will be learning by doing – most of life is on-the-job training.

If you need education, training, skill building, a coach or mentor, then go and get it.

If you’re afraid, so what? Feel the fear and do it anyway. The key is to just get started.

How to get started

The key to success is to take what you have learned (or relearned) in this book and put it into action.

64 principles could feel a bit overwhelming – you can’t do everything at once.

Keep adding a little progress every day, over time you will have built a whole new set of habits and self-disciplines. Remember, anything valuable takes time. There is no overnight success. It takes years to learn and implement all of the principles in this book. You will master some and still working on mastering others.

blazed a trail for you – the fundamental principles needed to succeed in any venture have been covered throughout the preceding chapters.

If your actions create a legacy that inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, then you are an excellent leader. [Dolly Parton. Songwriter]

The greatest contribution you can make to the world is to grow in self-awareness, self-realization, and the power to manifest your own heartfelt dreams and desires.

The next greatest thing you can do is to help others so the same. What a wonderful world it would be if we were all to do that.

It is my intention that this book would contribute to creating that kind of world. If it does, I will have fulfilled my purpose of inspiring and empowering others to live their highest vision in a context of love and joy.

Teach these principles to others One of the most powerful ways to learn anything is

to teach others. It forces you to clarify your ideas, confront inconsistencies in your own thinking, and more closely walk your talk.

But most importantly, it requires you to read, study, and speak the information over and over again. The resulting reception reinforces your own learning.

When you lift up others, they will lift up you Another major benefit: the more you help other

people succeed in life, the more they will want to help you succeed – all the people who teach success principles strategies are successful too.
