You can learn just about everything from the internet nowadays thanks to blogs, videos, and more. It’s just unfortunate that blog articles need to be short so they can’t really give detailed information on the things you want to learn. Books, on the other hand, have room for more information and thus they tend to be more detailed and complete than blog articles and videos.

Long before I started blogging, I spent over two years writing and rewriting a success and personal finance book. It took that long before I was able to complete my first “good” manuscript, and I realized that the work needed to publish it would take longer. That’s why I started blogging: I wanted to help people by providing helpful information for free! It took a couple more years before I was able to continue my book project though, and finally, this is the result:

By the way, here are three major lessons that you’ll learn there.

One great skill is the ability to adapt to and make use of the best opportunities that come your way, and my willingness to accept unusual opportunities has been tested recently. Since I don’t really like being seen or performing in public, the last thing I wanted to do is stream online. You might know the saying “life begins at the end of your comfort zone” and indeed, life has a funny way of giving you opportunities that require you to face your fears in order to move forward.

Certainly, one of the most valuable things you can do to achieve success is to set long term goals. Unfortunately though, sometimes goals don’t work or don’t happen as planned. What do you do then?

Looking back over the last few months, it’s clear that I didn’t achieve a lot of goals on their proposed deadlines. For example, the income I planned to have didn’t reach the amount I wanted, the book I was supposed to finish and publish last November 2016 needed several months more work, and there are also a few other personal goals I failed in that I won’t mention here.

Fortunately though, I HAVE reached some goals that I’ve planned before. One previous goal I had was getting my AdSense account approved by December 31, 2015… and it WAS approved on the night of December 30, 2015. Another minor goal I set long ago was that of consistently getting over a hundred views a day… and I’ve succeeded at it months before the deadline.

In any case, over the course of our lives we likely won’t achieve some things that we want by the time that we want them. What do you do when you don’t reach your goals? Here are my three tips.

For some reason, the word “ambition” gained a negative connotation as it conjures images of businessmen and government officials gaining power through corruption. In reality, ambition is simply a strong desire to achieve something that requires determination and hard work. There’s nothing wrong with it as long as you use honest means and it’s actually a requirement of success. If you’re not driven enough to work hard in order to achieve something, you’ll likely become a failure.

Why did I talk about this? It’s because of something I read in Orison Swett Marden’s book, Self-Investment:
