Business Motivation- September 7, 2011
It’s Always A Good Time To Change The first step toward getting somewhere is to decide that you’re not going to stay where you are. You’re a product of your environment. So choose an environment that will best develop you toward your goals. Analyze your life in terms of your environment. Are the things around you helping you toward your success or are they holding you back? Your world today is a living expression of how you are using and have used your mind. It’s something that you can change at any time. You don’t have to remain a captive of your environment. Don’t say “If I could change, I would change,” say ”I can change, and I will change.” (Reprinted with permission, Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology, Leadership Management® International, Inc.)

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.)

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.

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.)

Be Prepared When Opportunity Comes By the law of periodical repetition, everything which has happened once must happen again and again and again. Not capriciously, but at regular periods, and each thing in its own period, and each obeying its own law. There is a tide in your affairs, when taken at the flood that will lead you on to fortune. As events tend to repeat themselves, the tide of opportunity will come to you. Luck is the time when preparation and opportunity meet. When you’re prepared, your chance for success will come. You can change chance into good fortune if you’re ready. The only sure thing about luck is that it will change.

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.)

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.)
