Do you ever wake up to experience a day where everything just totally… goes your way? A YouTube video that was featured on a recent new favorite site of mine called, CruftBucket, displayed a guy who had an experience of a lifetime. The video was of a young man named, Josh Silberman, who in this video was a contestant for the famous CBS TV show, The Price is Right.  Josh went on a massive winning streak. He racked in over $40,000 dollars on The Price is Right! Apparently, all the prices were right for Josh.

The biggest winner of cash and prizes on The Price Is Right was a student from Pepperdine College. She won a total of $88,865 including a Lincoln and a Porsche. So with Josh racking in over $40,000, that’s not too bad in a days work. The Price is Right is is believed to be the second longest-running game show on television. It features over 70 different games played, and is by far one of the most well known television shows.

Josh Silberman is actually a very intelligent and creative individual. As it turns out, Josh does quite a bit of producing for NBC, a competing television network of CBS.

Like anything, the more things you produce the better you get to be at it. I have been lucky enough to be a producer on “Deal Or No Deal”, “Dr. Phil”, “The Entertainer”, and pilots such as “Barter Town” and “Beacher’s Madhouse”.

Intelligence, Motivation and a Little Luck.

From what it seems, Josh is living a fulfilling life. He isn’t chasing his dreams because he is living in them. And this just goes to show you, if there is anything you want to do in your life, it can be done.

If you have something you want to achieve, a goal you want to accomplish, get out there and do it. Work hard, learn and rub a lucky rabbits foot along the way if you have to. In regards to being successful making money online, this is totally something you can do. You don’t have to wake up every morning from this dream. Wake up and start living this dream.

Intelligence: Understand what is working and what clearly isn’t. For instance, if you don’t have traffic coming into your site, figure out why! Can you find your site and individual pages within your site in the major search engines? Answer: NO! Then question yourself WHY! Why doesn’t my site and pages pull up in the search engines. But what if my site and pages do pull up…  Then the problem isn’t getting traffic, it’s keeping traffic! That leads to another question, “Why don’t people come back!”. Intelligence kicks in when you start to question things. Why does this happen, how do I do this, what is working, what isn’t working… question, question, question anything and everything. Learn, learn, learn anything and everything. If you are interested in Google Adsense, spend a day reading their docs, forums, and various pages that tell you the complete in’s and out’s of the program. If you are interested in selling on eBay… spend a day learning about eBay, discover what products sell and which products don’t. Research and figure out how you can sell top selling items on eBay. To be successful, you have to question anything and everything and learn the in’s and out’s of all!

Motivation: Your drive to be successful! The energy to make a commitment towards working twice as hard as the average individual and get paid half the amount. The fuel that you burn at 4:00 a.m. two hours prior to your waking kids who will need breakfast made and lunched packed for school. A foundation that supports you when your internal framework at times collapses.

Luck: Sure why not… everyone can use a little extra luck. But I feel that luck is a perception. I am the type of person who considers myself lucky in most all situations. If my site crashes, I am lucky because I will have the motivation to get it back up and running and secondly, I will then have the experience to know what to do if it happens again! Luck is simply how you perceive any given event. Commonly people feel lucky when things go their way and feel victimized when things don’t. I am lucky every day. I am lucky when I receive Google Adsense, Amazon.com, Commission Junction, and many other checks mailed to me. I am also lucky when I go months without making a dime! I have the intelligence, motivation and luck (a.k.a positive thinking) to push through and figure out what went wrong, how to correct it and most importantly… how to grow and improve from it.

And finally the video…

… everything can go right for you too. Every day you wake up, you make the day what you want it to be. If you wake up and want to have a bad day, then you’re going to have a bad day. If you wake up and want to be successful, then you will be successful. The day is what you make of it, and if you live everyday as if you were Josh on The Price is Right, there is no reason in this world why you can’t succeed with any goal you set for yourself. Wake up, kick yourself in the ass, grab a Snickers bar and go out there and lasso the dreams that you have been chasing, grab em’ by the horns and ride them out!

Don’t dream the dream, be the dream!
