One thing AM will do wonders for is helping you believe in yourself. The reason I am where I am, and am going where I am going in life, is because when I have been faced with choices that were scary, I believed in myself and not what everyone else thought. Part of being an alpha is being a leader, even if only to yourself. You have what it takes. Trust me.
The secret to success was once stated by a man named T.A. Edison. He said success is 1% inspiration, and 99% perspiration. I would say he was almost right - it's inspiration (believing in yourself), doing something to achieve your goals (perspiration) and the refusal to stop trying, regardless of how much the path is strewn with rocks and boulders in your way (persistence).
One major secret that I have held dear all my life can be seen in one of my favorite quotes:
"No man ever became great except through many and great mistakes." - William E. Gladstone
You don't make many mistakes, if you quit trying to achieve your goals. And you won't become great unless you accept your mistakes as stepping stones to understanding how not to do things. In other words, make mistakes, but learn from them and don't make them again.
Success is all about the refusal to stop trying to succeed.
