I hould first be clear about
an important point. The title
of this column • Ambition -
otivating Yourself To Finan­
cial Success" is a bit mislead-
�. ,
The only thing th t Will
bring you financial success is
ACTIO.
evertheless, the fact
remains that we all need to be
properly motivated in order to
t e success-oriented ctions.
far as motivation is con­
cerned please take no e of the
following tips:
-Establish a wealth-building
Idea and dedicate yourself to
implementation. In other
ords, you will need a vehicle
for chieving fmancial success.
That vehicle can be a business

plan or a part -time ctivity

minded dedication to orking
it until you achieve success.
Remember: the wealth build­
ing process is not something
you start and then abandon
when the going gets tough.
You mus be in it for the long
haul. .
-Write down your financial
goals and review them
everyday. This daily exercise
will help keep those goals in
the froot of your mind and
can be especially motivational
during ,the difficult times.
However, there is a potential
negative here. If you are not
talkiing actions which bring
you closer and closer to tho
goals, simply reviewing them
everyday can bring about a
feeling of failure or at least
frustration. Again, action is
primaaray.
- Associate with positive­
thinking, success-oriented
people. Such association is ey

parttime jobs who had to pay

wages if their investment in­
come, such as interest on a
savings account, plus their
earnings will be more than
$500 for the year.
Also, the deduction for a
personal exemption is not al­
lowed for children who may
be claimed on their parents' in­
come tax return.
This could result in a stu­
dent being required to file a
1987 tax return and having an
income tax liability.

heritaze mav zive some of us
better looks and higher IQ's
than others, the fact remains
that more than anything else
we are a product of our en­
vironment. Remember: It is
n to impossible to achieve
success if the majority of your
key associates and friends are
negative-thinking, poorly
motivated people. Ultimately
such associations re ard your
development.
- Develop the ability to in­
fluence others. Your most im­
portant weapons in the in­
fluence game are the power of
suggestion, assertiveness, a
smile and obvious successes.
We cannot go into detail here
so simply remember the fol­
lowing: success attracts tten­
tion; suggestions, which
benefit tend to create allies
while orders tend to create
enemies; everybody is in­
fluenced by a smile and asser­
tiveness tends to bring respect.
-Read financial and motiva­
tional material. This usually in­
cludes memorizing motivation­
al statements which inspire
you to act.
-Conquer procrastination
by doing something everyday
which brings you at least one
step closer to financial sue-
