Business Motivation – August 10, 2009
Look At Things As They Can Be. Your range of available choices right now has no limits. The only limits you have are in your mind. You’ve got it in you to succeed. Just make up your mind and stick with it. You weren’t born with any limits on your powers or any set limits to your capacity. At any moment, you have more possibilities than you can act upon. Imagine your possibilities and your vision expands. Capture your dreams in your mind and your life becomes full. Reach out and touch the limits of your being in your mind. If you think you can, you can. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

It Takes Persistence To Reach Your Goal. “Keep trying” is the rule that must be followed if you want to be successful at anything. Your success will always be connected with your actions. Just keep moving towards your goal. You’ll make mistakes along the way but don’t ever quit. You may even have to hang on after others have let go. Persistence means taking pains to overcome every obstacle, to do all that’s necessary to reach your goal. In the end, the only people who fail are those that do not try. All great achievements takes time. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

Don’t Be Afraid To Take Risks. You can live your dreams if you can embrace change. It’s by taking chances that you’ll learn how to be brave. You’re different from everyone else on the planet and that makes you very special. Only you know what is best for you. Your life can slip through your fingers if you live in the past or the future. Live your life with passion every day and you’ll truly live all the days of your life. Remember where you have been and know where you are going. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way. You can have anything you want from life if you are willing to work for it. You owe it to yourself to go for it. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

YOU MUST PAY A PRICE FOR SUCCESS. Whatever you want in life, you must give up something to get it. The greater the value, the greater the sacrifice required of you. There’s a price to pay if you want to make things better, and a price you’ll pay for just leaving things as they are. Nothing worthwhile comes easily to anyone. Work, continuous work and hard work, is the only way to accomplish results that last. Don’t let the fear of change stop you from pursuing your dreams. There is no success at bargain basement prices. The highway to success is a toll road.
Leadership and Crisis
Leadership and Crisis By David Byrd, President, LMI Pick up any newspaper today and you will read about economic crisis. Turn your TV to any news broadcast, and you will hear about economic crisis. I was with a group of business executives yesterday, and we talked about economic crisis. We are being overwhelmed with negative news and fearful conversation regarding the issues of the current, global economic crisis. But with all the bombardment of negative news and fearful conversations leaders must still lead. How do we do that? During times of crisis a leader’s greatest enemy is fear. During crisis most people respond from the emotion of fear. This is a natural response that can be traced back to our ancestral roots. The emotion of fear was designed to protect us from any imposing dangers. However, many people have developed the habit of responding to any crisis situation form the emotion of fear, and that poses three significant problems for leaders: Fear paralyzes productive actions. Fear leads to negative attitudes which, in turn, get in the way of positive, productive actions. Fear attracts and supports failure. Negative attitudes find comfort in failure. They offer an instant and comfortable excuse to quit, point blame, or procrastinate. Fear eliminates ownership of possible solutions. Fear destroys creative energy. Fear causes us to think of ourselves as victims and victims have no solutions. How do effective leaders respond to the natural, human emotion of fear? The effective leader knows that there are only two options in responding to crisis…Positive Actions or Negative Beliefs! The leaders who respond with negative beliefs nullify their leadership position by joining the ranks of the fearful. When a leader responds to crisis from the emotion of fear, his or her position as leader is no longer effective. The leader…
