If there’s one thing I have learned in my years of business and success both online and offline, it’s the fact that you never get wealthy by luck.

You may get momentarily “rich” due to a stroke of luck, but you’ll never get wealthy this way.

The faster you get easy money, the faster you’ll lose it if you don’t understand the principles underlying behind.

On the other hand, I see many people who simply got lucky, and were able to retire early because of it.

I’m pretty sure you meant for those who want to secure their retirement, so your post was well said in that case!

On the flip side, I’m not so good at relaxing and enjoying as I always have some “new ideas” running in my mind, my wife seems to complain a lot about that, always work work work…

I don’t need to anymore, but I just enjoy the challenge of accomplishing something new. Anyway, it’s not really work, I’m running my sites for fun now from my bedroom…

It is true that this has something to do with personality but I also thing it is about habit and mental attitude.

I’m not sure you can change a personality but you can change a habit and the way your mind thinks. If you can program your mind to see completion of tasks as a necessity then you’ll start getting things done.

Mental programming is something that I spend a lot of time on and it definitely works!

After, it all goes with the personality of each individual. I myself, don’t need to work with goals, and stuff like that to focus on what I have to do.

A bit like a Terminator, I set myself a mission, and all my efforts are invested towards accomplishing it as soon as possible!

I’m the kind of person who don’t get distracted or sidetracked in my work… in opposition with my wife… I just can’t get her to finish something she starts…

I would assume that if you set a goal you will always have some reason for doing so. I don’t think you ever do anything without reason but you’re just not always aware of what the reason is.

Have a strong why or purpose will definitely help drive you but I don’t think that it will necessarily keep you focus. And example could be that you HAD to make some money online (for whatever reason). That could still leave you jumping from one shiny object to the next and never really accomplish anything.

The checklist part definitely works great for some people. I use it myself with much success but I have also find that some people are not good with lists. But whatever will work is fine as long as you move towards your goal.

I found that the best way to keep focus beyond having a goal, is having a purpose for it. There must be a reason why you have set this goal, and this is that reason what will help you keep focusing on your goal, often much more than the goal itself.

Also, keeping a daily checklist of what you should have completed by the end of the day and being accountable for it has also proven to be a great help to me.
