Movie Clips that Motivate
Kudos to Shoemoney dot com for giving me the idea for this post on motivation. He did mention the two movies on his popular blog.
When you need a good shot in the arm of motivation, the best way to get immediate self help is to put on one of these movie clips. Turn the volume up loud and kick back as you get instant motivation from these classic clips.
The first one is from the movie Boiler Room, featuring Ben Affleck in the powerful boardroom scene. If this doesnt motivate you, nothing with will - watch the embedded video below:
The second movie for self help is from the movie, Any Given Sunday with Al Pachino. Another classic, this pep talk scene to his players will get any stray butt moving in the right direction!

Self Help: Quit Smoking
By Adam Sutcliffe
Today I wanted to change the slant of our focus a little, while we usually look at self help and motivation success in a business mindset - today I wanted to spend some time looking at self help to quit smoking. Finally, a new program has been approved in the USA and it actually works.
Smoking is obviously a massive problem in most parts of the world, and while governments and various groups have tried hard to get some traction with 'Quit Smoking' courses and focus groups the overall result has been poor. Many smokers are reluctant to attempt or attend courses directly and while recent drug advances have helped we still have a long way to go to help more people be able to fully quit smoking.
More recently a group by the name of Zero Smoke has developed a self help product that is actually seeing a massive amountas of success and has been enabling a good percentage of smokers to fully quit their dirty habit.
There is no need for patches, gums or pills and the Zero Smoke program has helped over 2 million people in Europe fully escape their smoking habit. Now approved by the FDA, people in the USA can take full advantage of the program - the BEST part of the Zero Smoke approach is most people can fully lick the habit in 30 days.
I personally hope the program can be extended to other parts of the world, however for US based readers - follow this link for more information; Zero Smoke it will not only help you stop smoking and get healthy, but you will save yourself massive amounts of money moving forward.

Our site which is dedicated to 'free self help' is returning! After a brief delay, we are once again sharing stories of motivation, success and overall self help. Previous based in Australia, SelfHelpWorld.Info will now be catering to the US and Asia Pacific Region of the World.

Donald Trump - Trump 101
One of the most successful of them all, "Donald Trump" - The Donald has proved more times than most that he has been able to fight back from the depths of defeat; a never say die quality and the mind set to 'think big'.
I have been looking through Donald Trumps latest book; 'Trump 101' The Way to Success and I have found it a very good read.
One of the most glaring and interesting statements in the book is "Don't waste your life on work you don't love; Passion will help you do better!"
Now that is a great line, and it is so obviously true. Many of us have certain dreams, some involve work we absolutely love - but unfortunately sometimes we need to 'slave' from 9-5 just to earn the bacon.
Donald Trump talks of people he knew that had fantastic ideas, but could never get them off the ground because the approached everything 'weakly'. "Many thought their ideas would just take off by themselves" Trump said.
You have to put the ideas into action, motivate yourself and drive through all roadblocks. Otherwise the great idea will simply sit there on top of your desk and go no where.
And finally says Donald Trump "Lack of passion is often the difference between failure and success"
