Business Motivation- August 31, 2011

Everyone Has A Chance For Success People often handle life as they do bad weather. They while away the time waiting for it to stop. Yet the tide of opportunity comes to everyone. Opportunity knocks all the time, but you’ve got to be ready for it. When your chance comes, you must have the equipment to take advantage of it. 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. 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. Decide that this will be your year for success and prepare for it to happen. (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.

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.

You Can Make Your Dreams A Reality You have the power and the opportunity to change your life. You can make anything you want of it. It’s not difficult, it just takes some effort. See things as you would have them be instead of as they are. Develop a personal plan that focuses on what you want, not on what you have. Your imagination will show you how to turn your possibilities into reality. Visualize your goals and your subconscious will begin to work toward making those mental pictures come true. If you picture yourself vividly as winning, that alone will contribute immeasurably to your success. Knowing your destination is all you need to get there.

In Every Adversity “In every adversity is the seed of greater or equal opportunity.” This quote by Norman Vincent Peale can make a difference in how we perceive our situations every day. Look for the equal or greater opportunity in every situation. It is there. Believe it. Seek and you shall find. Knock and the door will be open to you.

Today Is The Time For Action You must be ready when opportunity comes before you. Luck is the time when your preparation and opportunity meet. There is a tide in your affairs, which, when taken at the flood, will lead you on to fortune and success. 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 it’s own period, and each obeying its own law. As events tend to repeat themselves, the tide of opportunity will come to you. Be prepared and your chance for success is sure to come. Look around you. Seize an opportunity to change your life. You can change chance into good fortune if you are ready. The only sure thing about your luck is that it will change.

Business Motivation – April 18, 2011

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.

Business Motivation – October 23, 2009

Success Is Closer Than You Think Every situation, properly perceived, becomes an opportunity. But you have to act on them if you’re going to be successful. Distant pastures always look greener than those close at hand, but real opportunities are right where you are. You must simply take advantage of them when they appear. You can start where you are at any time. Success is all around you. It’s not in your environment, it’s not in luck or chance, or in the help of others. Success is in yourself alone. You don’t need more strength or more ability or greater opportunity. What you need is to use what you have. Learn to seize good fortune, for it is always around you. You must go to success, it doesn’t come to you. Open your own doors to opportunity. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.
