Business Motivation – April 21, 2010
Attitude Is Everything You determine your attitude. You can respond positively or negatively to any situation. Your attitude is not determined by circumstances, but by how you respond to your circumstances. Any challenge facing you is not as important as your attitude towards it, for that will determine your success or failure. It’s how you react to events, not the events themselves, that determines your attitude.

Business Motivation – April 19, 2010
There Is Always A Good Side Everything depends on the way you look at things. View every problem you encounter as an opportunity. There is always a good side to every situation. The optimist sees an opportunity in every misfortune. The pessimist sees misfortune in every opportunity. The optimist sees the doughnut, the pessimist sees the hole. You can develop success from every failure. Discouragement and failure are two stepping stones to success. No other elements can do so much for you if you’re willing to study them and make them work for you. When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.

Happiness Is A Byproduct Of Activity Happiness lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. The human spirit needs to accomplish, to achieve, to triumph to be happy. Happiness does not come from doing easy work. but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demands your best. Your personal growth itself contains the seed of happiness. You cannot pursue happiness by itself. There is no happiness except in the realization that you have accomplished something. Happiness thrives in activity. It’s a running river, not a stagnant pond. (Reprinted with permission, Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology, Leadership Management® International, Inc.)
Business Motivation – April 14, 2010
You Are What You Think loved or unloved, happy or unhappy, attractive or unattractive, powerful or weak. What you impress upon your mind, you’ll inevitably become. It’s a psychological law that whatever you desire to accomplish you must first impress upon your subconscious mind. Relentless, repetitive self talk will change your self image. You’ll affect your subconscious mind with verbal repetition. Constant repetition carries conviction. When you change your values you’ll change your behavior. Start thinking of yourself as becoming the person you want to be. Self suggestion will make you the master of yourself. You can become whatever you want to be. If you believe you can, you can.

The Secret To Confidence Is Preparation There can be no great courage when there is no confidence or assurance. Half the battle is in the conviction that you can accomplish what you undertake. With practice you’ll come to a point of competence in anything. You’ll find yourself accomplishing your goals with grace and confidence. It’s then that you’ll do things that you never dreamed you could do. You’ll discover powers you never knew existed. Confidence doesn’t come out of nowhere. It’s the result of constant work and dedication. If you’re prepared, you’re able to feel confident.

Business Motivation – April 9, 2010
You Are The Master Of Your Fate While your character is formed by your circumstances, your own desires can do much to shape those circumstances. What is really ennobling in the doctrine of free will is the conviction that you have the power over the formation of your own character. Nature is at work around you. Character and destiny are her handiwork. She gives you love and hate, jealousy and reverence. You have the power to choose which impulses you will follow. You can at any time decide to alter the course of your life. No one can ever take that away from you. You are the master or your joys and your sorrows. The greatest power you possess is the power to choose. You are the master of your fate. You are the captain of your soul.

Business Motivation – April 7, 2010
Endurance Is The Crowning Quality Of Success The power to hold on in spite of everything, to endure, this is the quality of a winner. Your greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time you fail. It’s your constant and determined effort that will eventually break down all resistance and sweep away all the barriers before you. Persistence means taking pains to overcome every obstacle, to do all that’s necessary to reach your goal. All great achievements require time. It’s never over until you say it’s over.

Business Motivation – April 5, 2010
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. (Reprinted with permission, Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology, Leadership Management® International, Inc.)
Business Motivation – April 02, 2010
All Great Achievements Take Time Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out. Nothing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or an apple miraculously appears. If you want to grow an apple, you must give it time. There must be time for it to blossom, bear fruit and then ripen. That which grows fast, withers as rapidly. That which grows slowly, endures.
