#1 Way to Become Successful



Want to become successful? I'm assuming that's why you're here. Everyone wants to be successful. Success means something different to everybody. For many people, it means making a lot of money. For some, it means losing weight. For others, it means living a happy life. No matter what you want to be successful at, I am here to tell you how to do it. No buying a book is necessary because I want everyone to be successful.

So, what is the big secret to becoming successful?

It is the 7 level deep method. In order to become successful, you must know your "why." Why do you want to be successful? Why do you want to make more money? Why do you want to lose weight? Don't get me wrong, all of your answers are good answers. However, the first time you answer, you are only at the superficial layer. Yeah, losing weight to look good is a good answer. But it goes deeper than that. The 7 level deep method is asking why 7 times. Here is an example:

1. Why do you want to lose weight? To be in shape
2. Why is important that you are in shape? I want to be able to hike and go on adventures without getting out of breath
3. Why do you want to be able to do those things? I don't want to not be able to go on adventures like these because I am out of shape. I want to reach my full potential, which includes my fitness.
4. Why is it important that you reach your full potential in terms of fitness? I want to be the best that I can be. I don't want to go through life just half doing things. I want to be able to fully experience life, and I think getting in shape is a way I can do that.
5. Why is it important that you fully experience life? I don't want to just sit around doing the same things everyday. I don't want to have the same day for the rest of my life. Go to work, come home, and go to bed. I want to do things. I want to go places. I don't want to feel like I've wasted my life away.
6. Why is it important that you don't feel like you've wasted your life away? Life is precious. Sometimes it feels like it goes by slow, but really, it goes by in the blink of an eye. I don't want to wake up one day when I'm 80 and realize that there were so many things I could have done. I don't want to have regrets. 
7. What is your why? I want to be able to fully experience life and not have any regrets. I don't want to waste my life away. I want to have the ability to be active and continue reaching my full potential at an old age. 

So, we went from wanting to be in shape to wanting to experience life and reaching your full potential. Both answers were right. You just have to dig deeper to find your true why. Wanting to be in shape can motivate you temporarily. However, it is your true why that will drive you past all of the obstacles throughout your life. When you are struggling, it is your deeply-rooted why that will keep you pushing through.

The #1 tip to becoming successful is finding your why. If you find the true meaning of why you want to do something, it will keep you going. If you want to make more money, find your why. If you want to lose weight, find your why. Whatever you do in life, find your why.

InboxDollars Review



Can you really make money with InboxDollars? The answer depends.

First, let me explain how this website works. You can join this website for free. I decided to join because I was looking for a way to just earn a few extra bucks online. I came across this website from a blog post, 32 Legitimate Ways to Make Money at Home, which came from The Penny Hoarder. All you need to sign up is an email and a password. You get $5 just for signing up. Here's the catch: you have to make $30 before you can receive the money you made. It says you can make money through surveys, videos, playing games, searching the web, and checking emails. I have listed the pros and cons below.

Pro #1:
It is simple and free to sign up, so you may as well try it.

Pro #2:
I kind of/sort of made money. More on that later. But you CAN make money if you put lots and lots of time into it.


Con #1:
Although it says you can earn through videos, there has not being a single video available for me to watch, and I started over a month ago.

Con #2:
Earlier I said that I kind of/sort of made money. I have only made $9.53 throughout the past month. I spent hours doing surveys, and that is all I have made; although I will probably never see that money because I have to earn $30 first.

Con #3:
It also says you get paid to read emails. By that, it really means that you get paid 25 cents to sign up for some form of insurance or other ridiculous offer.

Con #4:
You don't make a lot from surveys, even if you get to take a survey. Surveys pay more for the longer it takes to complete it. A typical 5 minute survey probably pays about 25 cents. Although that doesn't sound too shabby, I haven't qualified for many surveys. I spend about 10 minutes on a survey, just to get through it and say that I was disqualified.

Overall, I definitely would not recommend InboxDollars. However; it is free to sign up, so give it a try if you want to see for yourself. If you don't feel like wasting your time, I highly recommend to not even sign up.
