bosanchez - Envision Your Future

If you want to be successful, you need to learn to see a vision and plan accordingly. Proverbs says, Plan carefully and you will have plenty; if you act too quickly, you will never have enough. (Proverbs 21:5 GNT)

Successful people plan ahead for the coming winter. Proverbs says, Lazy people should learn a lesson from the way ants live. They have no leader, chief, or ruler, but they store up their food during the summer, getting ready for winter. (Proverbs 6:6-8 GNT)

Big Question: How Long-Term is your thinking?

The longer-term your thinking is, the more successful you are.

When I was serving in the slums, I noticed that people think only for the day. A few think of tomorrow, perhaps next week—but that’s about it. They can’t think anything longer than that. The poorest of the poor think of where to get food for the day.

But when I talk to very successful people, they’re always thinking 5 years from now, 10 years from now, even 20 years from now.

A Harvard sociologist, Dr. Edward Banfield, confirmed this fact. He dedicated his life to study why some people succeed and others do not. When he did his research, he expected that race, gender, family background, and education were what made people successful, but he found out that they weren’t predictors of success.

What was his biggest discovery? That the single most accurate predictor of success was having what he called a “longtime perspective”.

Note, however, that it’s not just the ability to think into the future— but how that kind of thinking impacts your actions NOW that makes you successful.

Here’s the key: Success is the ability to make sacrifices now for a future reality.

May your dreams come true,
Bo Sanchez

P.S. I’d like to personally invite you to a life-changing seminar spearheaded by a good friend of mine. It’s called the Entrepreneurs Workshop, and it has one goal: To help you start your business in 7 to 14 days.
It’s a heavy promise, but so many people have already attended this workshop and succeeded.

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Stuck In The Middle

Question: I don’t want to be in the middle of this! My boyfriend’s mother is sick and he wants to move back home to be closer to her. His mother HATES me and he wants me to go with him. The doctor’s are saying the outlook is not positive and I want him to be there for his mother but I don’t think I am a big enough person to put our issues aside to endure her. Am I horrible? Answer: Yes, you are a horrible horrible person and you’re going to hell. KIDDING!!!!!! You are magnificent and courageous and willing to tell the truth… and I find that inspiring I think it’s very important for people to be given the option to spend time with their parents as they die because sometimes people die suddenly and you never get a chance to say something; yet, your boyfriend will be able to feel good about the time, effort, and presence he gives her. And it’s also very important for you not to stop living or choose something that’s not a contribution for you and sacrifice yourself for another only t...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Boyfriend Was Rude To Disabled Brother

Q: For about a year, I have been dating (what I thought) was a wonderful man.  I am very protective of my disabled brother so I am hesitant to introduce men in my life to him.  This guy was different so I wanted him to understand that if he was going to be a part of my life, he was going to be a part of my brother’s as well. The way he acted towards him was atrocious! He ignored him and if my brother made contact, he jumped as if my brother’s disability would rub off on him!  I thought he was the one but now I am not sure.  Thoughts? A: I’m so sorry love.  This experience must trouble your heart in two ways – how he treated your brother and disappointment for believing he was the one.  While I do not condone his behavior, I must say that people have a tendency to act unpredictable and/or unkind when they are around people who are different from them.  Through education and practice, people can change.  Would you be open to communicating with yo...
