Answer
Hello Antoine,

===============================================================
Great to hear that you're turning your life around.  
===============================================================

The one thing that really stood out in your letter was the fact that you really want to be wealthy one day.

That's actually a worthy goal to have...the key is to find something that you can do to really knock the socks off a group of people who are willing to pay you for what you do.

===============================================================
The secret to wealth and success is really no secret at all.  
===============================================================

Those people who get wealthy find a way to take something that they really love to do, and turn it into a product or service that other people really vibe with.

===============================================================
And here's the hard part: they take their idea, and they start
working it as hard as they can.  
===============================================================

They would look at where they in their lives at the present moment...and then plan their lives forward.  

They understand that their past is in the past, and that they have to use their today's action to get where it is that they want to get to.

And then they go to work on it.  

Bit by bit, piece by piece, until one day IT happens...they find themselves living out the life of their dreams.

In fact, I encourage you to check out:  "Passion - A Key Success Factor And Necessary Business Strategy Ingredient" found at: http://www.small-business-ideas-branded-by-passion.com/success-factor-and-busine...

It highlights the fact that people who succeed in life - and in business - often take their passion and roll it into a business that generates value...allowing passion to serve as a major success factor
and necessary business strategy ingredient.

===============================================================
And...Antoine, I can't promise you that success and wealth are
easy to obtain...because they aren't.
===============================================================

They require that you find THAT thing that you could do to make a particular group of people in the world go absolutely crazy.

In fact, I'm often amazed at some of the entrepreneurial success stories that I hear when I hear about how someone took their passion for belt buckles and create one of the most successful belt buckle businesses or...how someone who had a passion for dogs started a Doggie Bakery business.

===============================================================
The key in their entrepreneurial success was tied to them
finding a way to create something that one particular group of
people could actually go wild about.
===============================================================

In fact, I'm sure that other people looked at them and told them that they were crazy...but they didn't let that stop them.  I

I'm sure that Doggy Bakery guy had to do a lot of research.  

* He had to understand what it was about dog owners that will make them WANT to come into his Doggie Bakery and spend their hard earned money on what he had done.

* He had to design it J-U-S-T right to meet their needs AND make a profit.  

* In fact...that's the BIG secret to successful entrepreneurship: finding a way to create a product or service that will fit your customer-base AND allow you to earn enough money to live out the life that you want to live out.

===============================================================
So...what is your step one?
===============================================================
Step one involves looking at your life and your passion and ask yourself what type of product or service that you could create

* that will make a difference in lives of a particular group of people

* because you choose to use your gifts and your magic (a)to make them feel better, or (b)to solve their problem...or (c) both.

===============================================================
Also, I recommend that you check out: "How to Start a New Small Business And Make It A Success And A Biz That Customers Will
Crave."
===============================================================

You can find it at: http://www.small-business-ideas-branded-by-passion.com/how-start-new-small-busin...

It highlights the secret involved in how to start a new small business
with success by capturing your customer's attention and and generating local buzz by using the "DO-ME - Do ME" marketing approach to knock them off their feet.

===============================================================
Here's to finding THAT thing that you could do to create a
special spark of magic in the lives of people who will pay
you to do so!
===============================================================
