I deserve my successes…
This is Brian Tracy. He doesn’t know it but he is one of my mentors. I own a lot of Brian Tracy audios and DVD’s. I do something crazy with his audios and videos, like I watch the videos, listen to the audios and take notes, looking for the ideas that can change my life.…

Many years ago, I was wondering where I could find the answers to the difficult questions in life. I was wondering why some of my friends were doing well and I was not living the life I wanted to live. I needed skills I didn’t have, I didn’t even know how to type and from…
Read MoreWhere Personal Development Comes From
Over the past few years, I have assembled a decent library. I finally got around to reading a fantastic book called “The Five Major Pieces to the Life Puzzle” by a great man named Jim Rohn. I highly recommend this book. My copy is an eBook on my hard drive, courtesy of my enrolling in…
Read MoreWhat If It’s Not as Bad as “They” Say It Is?
This blog entry began on July 16, 2010. I am learning about writing a post and saving it as adraft so some of the current information may seem a little outdated, but the message is clear. As I begin this entry, I am watching the stock markets enter a trading area known as “the crapper.”…
Read MoreWhen My Education Really Began
A lot of the ideas that I will be revealing did not originate with me. I would love to take credit for them, but I have had many influences. It would have been a great tragedy to say that when I graduated school, that my education ended and I never read another book (there are…

Preaching is the one thing that this blog is not intended to be. I am in no way suggesting that I am better than anyone else or that I have all the answers. There are other answers out there to the same questions that you may have. The purpose of this blog is to identify…
Read MoreThe Importance of Personal Development
I came to the conclusion that I had screwed up my life many years ago. Then I did it again…and again…and again. So where does one begin “un-screwing up” life and not repeating the process of “screwing up” one’s life? I had determined that I wanted to get my undergraduate degree in business and go…
Read MoreRe-Beginning the Begin
So, I “began” this blog in January and I like it as my personal blogging home…except I haven’t blogged anything. “So, what have you been doing since January?” you might be asking. It would seem that I have been doing a whole lot of nothing, but this is hardly the case. Among other things, I…

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Michael Neely and I am an entrepreneur, a salesman, and a businessman. I am a voracious reader, proponent of personal development/improvement and student of life…which I intend to be the purpose of this blog site. You might be asking “What do you know about success?” As…
Read MoreAnother new blog…
And here we go again! I first started blogging in September 2005, as I was lamenting that I had not started blogging during the hurricanes of south Florida that year. I lived in North Palm Beach, FL and Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne were the ones that came to my house. Then Katrina in August 2005…
