For a few words from some folks who have achieved massive success:
“When I felt restless or bored — or got in trouble for misbehaving — I would disappear into my room and lose myself in books or ideas, often for hours without interruption,” Gates wrote. “This ability to turn idle time into deep thinking and learning became a fundamental part of who I am.”
Self-made billionaire Ray Dalio has a three-step recipe for success — and it’s one anyone can use, he wrote in a LinkedIn post on Sunday.
First, identify what you want. Second, figure out how to realistically achieve them. And third, pursue that path with ironclad determination. “People who achieve success and drive progress deeply understand the cause-effect relationships that govern reality and have principles for using them to get what they want,” wrote Dalio, 75, the founder and ex-CEO of hedge fund giant Bridgewater Associates.
Dalio’s formula may seem easier said than done — but it relies on a simple caveat. Figuring out how to realistically achieve your goals includes setting reasonable expectations for what success might look like, he wrote.
“I don’t care whether you want to be a master of the universe, a couch potato, or anything else—I really don’t,” wrote Dalio, who has an estimated $14 billion net worth, according to Forbes. “Some people want to change the world and others want to operate in simple harmony with it and savor life. Neither is better. Each of us needs to decide what we value most and choose the paths we take to achieve it.”
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos doesn’t want to go back in time.
Almost everything, including infant mortality, global literacy and global poverty rates, has improved over the last 50 years, Bezos said at the New York Times’ DealBook Summit last month — except for one factor.
“When people talk about the good old days, that’s such an illusion,” Bezos said. “Almost everything is better today than it was … with one exception, which is the natural world.” The world’s oceans, rivers and forests have been polluted and depleted to fuel humankind’s growth over the last five centuries, he added.

And now back to our journey of building a life and leaving a legacy with affiliate marketing
I joined John Thornhill’s brand-new coaching program – Online Success Coaching – as a Founder last month, and it’s already proving to be an incredible opportunity.

John has now allowed Founders like me to invite others to join before the program officially launches on January 20th, 2025.
This exclusive opportunity gives you the opportunity to become a Founder as well gaining access to top-tier benefits before the program officially launches on January 20th, 2025.
As a Founder, you’ll receive:
- Full access to John’s coaching program, including tools to create your own product in minutes.

There is one great advantage to having a digital product – you can sell a million copies of the same item without having to spend extra time setting up the listing.
So when John’s new program came along I jumped on it because it is going to help me with the steps I have been missing.
I trust John and believe in his programs.
