Business Motivation- August 29, 2011

You Are What You Do The beginning of a habit is like an invisible thread. Every time you repeat the act you strengthen the strand. You add to it another filament with each repetition, until it becomes a great cable and binds you irrevocably to each thought and act. First you make your habits and then they make you. Your thoughts lead you to your purpose. Your purpose always manifests into action. Your actions form your habits. Your habits determine your character, and your character fixes your destiny. Your habits are either the best of servants or the worst of masters. (Reprinted with permission, Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology, Leadership Management® International, Inc.)  

Business Motivation- August 24, 2011

Never Say Never There is no such thing as no chance. Don’t think about the things you can’t do. Think about the things you can do. No matter what the level of your ability is, you have more potential than you can ever develop in a lifetime. You have powers you never dreamed of. You can do things you never thought you could do. There are no limitations to what you can do except the limitations of your own mind. Your range of available choices right now is limitless. Look at things as they can be.

Success Requires A Willingness To Act If you want to be successful, you can start at anytime. But you must start. Don’t make the mistake of not doing anything because you can only do a little. Do what you can do. It will always be your attitude at the beginning of any difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect its successful outcome. To be aware of what you want and not go after it, to spend years wondering if something could have materialized, and never knowing if it could have been, is a tragic waste of your life. The worst thing you can do is not to try. To reach a port, you must sail. You must sail, not lie at anchor. You must sail off in the direction of your dreams, not drift.

You Won’t Get Anywhere Without A Goal A life without purpose is like a ship without a rudder. The purpose of a goal is to focus your attention. Your mind will reach toward achievement only when it has a goal. There is no achievement without goals. Establish a goal worth working for. Your goal will keep you going in tough times. Always have something ahead of you. Continuously visualize your next step. Keep moving after you achieve your goal and set another. Momentum is maintained by always having something to look forward to. Constantly give yourself something to work for. Do what you can do well, and do well whatever you can do. You can plant your dream with a goal. (Reprinted with permission, Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology, Leadership Management® International, Inc.)  

Business Motivation – August 08, 2011

Reality Forms Around Your Commitments When you care enough for a given result, you’ll almost certainly attain it. All of your dreams can come true, if you have the courage to pursue them. Intense anticipation will transform your possibilities into reality. Strong desires will in time externalize themselves into concrete fact. Your desires are the precursors of the things which you are capable of having and doing. Weak desires will bring you weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat. The intensity of your desire governs the power with which your energies will be directed. Desire is the starting point for success. If you want it, you can have it.

Opportunity Is All Around You The people that really succeed in the world are the people who look for the circumstances they want. And, if they can’t find them, they make them. The lure of the distant and the difficult can be deceptive. The great opportunity in your life is where you are right now. Properly perceived, every situation can become an opportunity for you. Your destiny isn’t a matter of chance, it’s a matter of choice. It’s not something you wait for, but rather something you achieve with effort. You’re surrounded by opportunity, but things won’t turn up in this world until you turn them up.

LMI’s Definition Of Personal Leadership Personal leadership is the self-confident ability to crystallize your thinking so that you are able to establish an exact direction for your life, to commit yourself to moving in that direction and then to take determined action to acquire, accomplish, or become whatever that goal demands. YES – YOU CAN! The real question is – WILL YOU? (Reprinted with permission, Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology, Leadership Management® International, Inc.)

Action Is Required If You Want To Be Successful The only way to start to improve your life is to start. Once you’re sure you’re on the right road there is no need to plan your journey too far ahead. Don’t burden yourself with doubts and fears as to the obstacles that may bar your progress. You can only take one step at a time. You don’t need to know all the answers in advance. Just maintain a clear idea of the goal you want to reach and the answers will come in their own time. If you can get up the courage to begin, you’ll have the courage to succeed. It’s the job you never start that takes the longest to finish. Go after what you want and you’ll get it. Eighty percent of success is showing up.

Business Motivation – July 25, 2011

What You See Is What You Get The realities of life result from many outside factors, none of which you can control. Your attitude, however, reflects the way in which you evaluate what’s happening to you. It’s not your situation, it’s your reaction to the situation that’s important. Things always seem to turn out best for those people who can make the best out of the way things turn out. Life at any time can become difficult. Life at any time can become easy. It all depends upon how you adjust yourself to life. You cannot always control your circumstances. But you can always think positive thoughts. There is nothing either good or bad, only your thinking makes it so. (Reprinted with permission, Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology, Leadership Management® International, Inc.)  

Business Motivation – July 20, 2011

When You Cease To Dream, You Cease To Live If you want to enlarge your life, you must first enlarge your thought of it and yourself. You can lift yourself by your thoughts, and your vision of the future will help you climb mountains. Hold the ideal of yourself as you long to be, your ideal of what you long to attain the ideal of health, efficiency, success. You’ll become as small as your controlling desire or as great as your dominant aspiration. High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.
