Depending on which book you read or whom you talk to, you’ll get, about 111 different tips on how to become successful or how to be a winner; however, the snag with these tips is that they tend to causes us more distress than we’d like and make us feel like failures, because what they propose is (are) outside our circle of influence (that is, what we can do from our present situation), for example, they’d advise, to take a course on ‘online trading’, do a web course, get a life coach, or some other rubbish that will only make someone else richer.
