Strange, but true. Not many people realise this. Yet it is often what keeps some from succeeding, despite getting lots of help from various quarters! <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style46\">I know it\u2019s debatable. And like everything else in life, there will be exceptions. But my careful study of this particular issue for years, has revealed a distinct trend.<\/h3>\n<p class=\"style3\">When people get given, without exerting serious effort to get, they are likely to become laid back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\"><em> This is why so many organisations which give monetary \"AID\"<\/em><em> rarely record situations in which recipients wean themselves off such programs.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">Instead, majority of beneficiaries simply wait for it to come. They know the AID givers will always return with new\/more aid!<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">There are also others with access to well connected, and influential people, who open all sorts of doors for them. Yet they never record authentic achievements.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style46\"><strong>But Some People Lack Helpers, Yet Still Manage to Achieve Authentic Success<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"style3\">In contrast to the above, we have <strong>unknown<\/strong>, <strong>unconnected <\/strong>persons from <strong>unprivileged<\/strong> backgrounds, who lack any form of support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\"><em>They know no one important or influential. Yet, despite these multiple limitations, they go on to record phenomenal successes - wherever they go. <\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\"><strong>It always seems so unlikely. Yet it has happened countless times. History has many examples on record. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">Those who misuse help they get, sometimes resent such disadvantaged persons who succeed with little or no help.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\"><em>They find it hard to understand how a person can achieve so much, despite having so little.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">Funny isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">One would think they would consider it a wake up call. But people differ, I guess.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style46\"><strong>Success Is Not a Function of Who You Know, or What You Have<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"style3\">What they fail to understand is that success is no respecter or status, position, or influence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">It comes more readily to those who desire it most strongly. People most willing to take practical steps to get it. People who are prepared to stretch themselves, to achieve their dreams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\"><strong><em>Such people will keep chasing their desired goals, even if no help comes to them.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">Those are the kinds of people who are ready to be helped!<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">Their mental attitude of perpetual readiness equips them to make effective use of any help they get.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\"><em>Because they hunger deeply for success, they will often seize opportunities that come their way with both hands.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">If anyone gives them an appointment, they make a point of being on time.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style76\">If told to send in a <a href=\"http:\/\/spontaneousdevelopment.com\/blog\/index.php?m=12&y=11\" target=\"_blank\">speaker one-sheet<\/a> to organisers of a special event for instance, they can stay up all night - if necessary - to get it in before the deadline.<\/h3>\n<p class=\"style3\"><em>In other words, they simply do not fool around!<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">For them, procrastination is abomination. And action taking towards achieving their desires is a way of life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">Anything that does not move them closer to their goals is considered a distraction, and dispensed with.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\"><strong>The above attitude - and attributes - make them succeed, even if\/when no help comes their way. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">Interestingly, <strong>that<\/strong> is what tends to convince even total strangers, to become their devoted helpers!<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\"><strong>That<\/strong> demonstrated commitment to <strong>succeeding no-matter-what<\/strong>, wins the confidence of others, who consequently become convinced any help they give will <strong>not<\/strong> go to waste.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style46\"><strong>Challenge Yourself to Make the Best Possible Use of Help You Get<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"style3\">People may offer you support (in cash or other forms), towards achieving your goal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\"><strong>But that, on its own, may not guarantee your success. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">As a results-focussed expert, actively seek ways to make any support you get count for something.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\"><em><strong>Remember: <\/strong>Not everyone will get offers of help. What's more, we will not all know influential\/powerful persons, who can open doors for us.<\/em> <em>In addition, we must remember that we are not all equally gifted. <\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">The above are reasons why it pays, to be ready to take good advantage of ANY help that comes our way!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style31 style42\">Need More Details of How to Make The Above Ideas Work for YOU?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"style3\">If you need more specific details of how to make use of the ideas I've shared in this newsletter,<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/spontaneousdevelopment.com\/contact.htm\" target=\"_blank\">send me a message using this request form<\/a> - with \"<strong>Re: No. 106: Are You Ready to Be Helped?<\/strong>\" in the subject line.<\/p>\n<table width=\"500\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td bgcolor=\"#CCCCCC\">\n<table width=\"550\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\" width=\"125\">\n<p class=\"style44\" style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;\" align=\"left\"><strong>SD Nuggets Blog<\/strong>\u2122<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td bgcolor=\"#00FFFF\" width=\"411\"><span class=\"style55\">New posts from last week that may interest you! * <\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#00FFFF\"><span class=\"style53\"><strong>Public Speaking<\/p>\n<p>[<span class=\"style42\">Monday]<\/span>:<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\n<div class=\"style53\" align=\"right\"><a title=\"Permanent Link to No. 105: Chasing Clients Will Cost You Profits (A True Story)\" href=\"http:\/\/spontaneousdevelopment.com\/sdnuggets\/no-105-chasing-clients-will-cost-you-profits-a-true-story\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">No. 105: Chasing Clients Will Cost You Profits (A True Story)<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#00FFFF\">\n<p style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;\" align=\"left\"><strong>Entrepreneurship [<span class=\"style42\">Tuesday]<\/span>:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\n<div class=\"style53\" align=\"right\"><a title=\"Permanent Link to Nine(9) Sure Signs & Symptoms That Indicate You Need To Adopt Best Practice Systems In Your Business\" href=\"http:\/\/spontaneousdevelopment.com\/sdnuggets\/nine9-sure-signs-symptoms-that-indicate-you-need-to-adopt-best-practice-systems-in-your-business\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Nine(9) Sure Signs & Symptoms That Indicate You Need To Adopt Best Practice Systems In Your Business<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td rowspan=\"2\" valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#00FFFF\" height=\"28\"><span class=\"style53\"><strong>Self-Development [<span class=\"style42\">Wednesday<\/span>]: <\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\n<div class=\"style53\" align=\"right\"><a title=\"Permanent Link to Why Won\u2019t LinkedIn Stop Sending Me Email Invitations, Months After They Agreed To?\" href=\"http:\/\/spontaneousdevelopment.com\/sdnuggets\/why-wont-linkedin-stop-sending-me-email-invitations-months-after-they-agreed-to\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Why Won\u2019t LinkedIn Stop Sending Me Email Invitations, Months After They Agreed To?<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\n<div align=\"right\"><a class=\"style53\" title=\"Permanent Link to You\u2019re Not Crazy to Follow Your Inner Voice\" href=\"http:\/\/spontaneousdevelopment.com\/sdnuggets\/youre-not-crazy-to-follow-your-inner-voice\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">You\u2019re Not Crazy to Follow Your Inner Voice<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#00FFFF\">\n<p style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;\" align=\"left\"><strong>Career Development [<span class=\"style42\">Thursday<\/span>]:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\n<div class=\"style53\" align=\"right\"><a title=\"Permanent Link to Create Learning Resources to Boost Employee Performance\" href=\"http:\/\/spontaneousdevelopment.com\/sdnuggets\/create-learning-resources-to-boost-employee-performance\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Create Learning Resources to Boost Employee Performance<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#00FFFF\" height=\"28\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;\"><strong>Parenting [<span class=\"style42\">Friday<\/span>]: <\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\n<div class=\"style53\" align=\"right\"><a title=\"Permanent Link to Your Teenager Giving You Problems?
