Business Motivation – April 13, 2011

People With Goals Succeed There is no achievement without goals. A set definite objective must be established if you are to accomplish anything in a big way. The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want. The world will turn aside to let you pass if you know where you’re going. Goals give you a starting place and a destination. You’ll be able to determine what it will cost you to get there and you’ll be going someplace. Determine what you want. Decide on your major objectives, targets, and destination. You can plant your own dream with a goal.

Business Motivation – April 11, 2011

Everything Is Possible If You Believe There are no real barriers to your success. You must simply 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. Believe that life is worth living and you will create that fact around you. If you see yourself as prosperous, you will be. If you see yourself as broke, that is exactly what you will be. You will never succeed until you believe you can succeed. You can be who you want to be.

You Make Your Own Opportunities Your destiny isn’t a matter of chance, it’s a matter of the choices you’ll make in the coming year. Success isn’t something you wait for, it’s something you must pursue in the months ahead. Don’t wait for extraordinary opportunities to be successful. Seize common occasions and turn them into great ones. Opportunities sometimes come disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat. Start where you are. You’re at this moment, standing right in the middle of opportunity. If you act on your dreams you can live them in the New Year. You have a lot to look forward to.

Business Motivation – April 4, 2011

Always Do Your Best At Everything Make it your life rule of living to always do your best. It’s your constant effort to be first-class in everything you attempt that will help you conquer the heights of excellence. Let superiority become your trademark. Do a little more each day than you think you possibly can. There is always a best way of doing everything. Find it. Do a little more than average and from that point on your progress multiplies itself out of all proportion to the effort you put out. Do more than you’re supposed to do and you can have or be or do anything you want. If you want to enjoy enduring success, try traveling a little in advance of the rest of the world. Your greatness will come from being great in the little things. (Reprinted with permission, Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology, Leadership Management® International, Inc.)

The Secret To Confidence Is Preparation With practice you’ll come to a point of competence. You’ll find yourself accomplishing your goals gracefully and confidently. It’s then that you’ll do things that you never dreamed you could do.You’ll discover powers you never knew existed. If you’re prepared, you’re able to feel confident. 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. Confidence doesn’t come out of nowhere. It’s the result of constant work and dedication. (Reprinted with permission, Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology, Leadership Management® International, Inc.)

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.

Business Motivation – October 28, 2009

The Highway To Success Is A Toll Road You must give up something to get whatever you want in life. The greater the value, the greater the sacrifice that will be required. Everything has a price. You pay a price if you want to make things better, and you pay a price for just leaving things as they are. Nothing worthwhile will come easily to you. Work, continuous work and hard work, is the only way to accomplish the results that last. You’ll find no success at bargain basement prices. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.
