Why? When you have genuinely helped people out, the last thing you want to do, is to be seen to be boasting about it...
Success is merely a choice - Let me explain.
2 guys are stood outside an electrical store. Looking at a washing machine in the window. Both have exactly the same amount of money coming in each week, exactly the same balance in their bank accounts, exactly the same credit scores and exactly the same need to return home with a washing machine...
Guy 1 looks at it and says to himself - "
I can't afford that' - and goes home
Guy 2 looks at it and says "
How can I afford that?' - and starts thinking of ways he can get the money to purchase it...
Neither of them leaves with the washing machine, but who has the greater chance of getting it in the future? Well guy 2 of course. But thats not to say he 'Will' be successful in getting it...
Its just to say that guy 1 has already given up because he can't afford it and has gone home. He has closed the door to the success of having the washing machine, but for guy 2, it still remains a poosibilty in his future.
Success = What you make it...
