Business Motivation – November 18, 2009
Opportunity Lies In The Midst Of Difficulty Every problem has hidden in it an opportunity so powerful that it literally dwarfs the problem. The greatest success stories were created by people who recognized a problem and turned it into an opportunity. You’ll find that every situation, properly perceived, offers opportunity. As fast as each opportunity presents itself, use it. No matter how tiny an opportunity it may be, use it. You’ll find new directions when you have an open mind and a willing hand. Successful people didn’t achieve their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity presented to them. They developed an opportunity that was at hand. You must make your own opportunities if you want success. Opportunities are all around you. Open your eyes and take action.

You Can Be Whoever You Want To Be There are no real barriers to your success. You must overcome any doubts you have about your ability. Your self image prescribes the limits for your accomplishments. It prescribes the area of what is possible for you. Don’t be afraid of living. Your belief that life is worth living will help you create the fact around you. If you see yourself as prosperous, you will be. If you see yourself as continually hard up, that’s precisely what you will be. You can never succeed until you believe you can succeed. Everything is possible if you believe. (Reprinted with permission, Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology, Leadership Management® International, Inc.)

You Are Responsible For Your Life If you don’t run your own life, somebody else will. If you want to see a change for the better, you have to take things in your own hands. To affect the outcome of anything, you must control the action at the point of decision making. You’re in control of your life to the degree that you make the decisions. If you let others make decisions for you, you have no control. When you control your decisions, you control the actions.

Change Influences Your Personal Growth Personal growth is the process of responding positively to change. It involves risk as you step from the known to the unknown. All your growth will depend on your activity. Your strength and growth will come only through continuous effort and struggle. There will be no development without effort. Trouble is the common denominator of living. It’s the great equalizer of life. Your trials and your sorrows will develop you. When good or bad fortune comes your way, you must give it meaning and transform it into something of value. What happens to you is not as important as your reaction to what is happening.

Happiness Lies In The Joy Of Achievement You were built to conquer your environment, solve problems, and achieve goals. You’ll find no real satisfaction or happiness in life without obstacles to conquer and goals to achieve True happiness lies in activity. It’s a running river not a stagnant pond. Happiness is not in having or being, it’s in doing something you love. The secret of happiness is in having something to do. Happiness is a byproduct. You cannot pursue it by itself.

DO THE NEXT THING Keeping a little ahead of conditions is one of the secrets of business. The time to repair your roof is when the sun is shining. So, do things before they need to be done. Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning. Position yourself ahead of time in the best place for you. You’ll gain the advantage in any situation through the medium of time. When you think ahead of any approaching action you’ll always have the advantage. You’ll be the winner. When you do what is necessary, all the odds are in your favor.

Opportunity Knocks All The Time The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, for time and chance happen to everyone. Take a second look at what appears to be someone’s “good luck.” You’ll find not luck but preparation, planning and success-producing thinking. Opportunity is around you all the time, but you have to be ready for it. When your chance comes, you must have the equipment to take advantage of it. When you’re prepared for opportunity, your chance for success is sure to come. The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success. The tide of opportunity comes to everyone.

You Can Make Up Your Mind To Be Anything You’re special and unique among all the creatures on the planet earth. You’ve been endowed with the capacity and the power to create desirable pictures inside your mind and to find them automatically printed in the outer world of your environment. You’ll gradually grow into any condition you desire, provided you first make yourself in habitual mental attitude the person who corresponds to that condition. Picture yourself vividly as winning, and that alone will contribute immeasurably to your success. All your dreams can come true, if you have the courage to pursue them.

Business Motivation – October 30, 2009
You Always Have A Choice You don’t have to buy from anyone. You don’t have to work at any particular job. You don’t have to participate in any given relationship. You can choose. You steer the course you choose in the direction of where you want to be today, tomorrow, or in a distant time to come. You hold the tiller. You can decide to alter the course of your life at any time. No one can ever take that away from you. You can decide what you want and go after it. It’s always your next move. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.
