Business Motivation – February 14, 2011

Everything Has A Price Whatever you want in life, you must give up something to get it. The greater the value, the greater the sacrifice required of you. There are no short cuts to success. There’s a price to pay if you want to make things better, and a price to pay for just leaving things as they are. Nothing worthwhile ever comes easily. Work, continuous work and hard work, is the only way to accomplish results that last. Use your imagination more than your memory to achieve success. The highway to success is a toll road. There is no success at bargain basement prices. (Reprinted with permission, Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology, Leadership Management® International, Inc.)

Your Trials And Sorrows Develop You Whatever good or bad fortune comes your way, give it meaning and transform it into something of value. Trouble is the common denominator of living. It’s the great equalizer of life. Personal growth is the process of responding positively to change. All growth means change and change always involves risks, stepping from the known to the unknown. All of your growth depends on your activity. It only comes through continuous effort and struggle. You’ll have no development without effort. Life chips and pounds you to bring out your possibilities. She will strip you of wealth, humble your pride, humiliate your ambition, let you down from the ladder of fame, and discipline you in a thousand different ways, if she can develop a little character. Everything gives way to that. Wealth is nothing, position is nothing, fame is nothing. Who you become inside is everything. What happens to you is not as important as how you react to what happens.

Successful People Make Decisions If you don’t run your own life, someone else will. You’re in control of your life to the degree that you make decisions. To control the outcome of anything, you control the action at the point of decision making. If you let others make decisions for you, you give up control. When you control the decisions, you control the actions. Take charge of your life, so there is no longer a need to ask permission of others. When you ask permission, you’re giving someone “veto” power over your life. It’s your life.You decide what you’re going to do with it. Only you are responsible for your life. Take control and start making those decisions. (Reprinted with permission, Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology, Leadership Management® International, Inc.)

You Determine Your Attitude Your attitude is not determined by circumstances, but by how you respond to your circumstances. You can respond positively or negatively to any situation. It’s how you react to events, not the events themselves, that determines your attitude. Any challenge facing you is not as important as your attitude towards it, for that will determine your success or failure.

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.

Colin Powell’s Rules It ain’t as bad as you think. It will look better in the morning. Get mad, then get over it. Avoid having your ego so close to your position that when your position falls, your ego goes with it. It can be done! Be careful what you choose.  You may get it. Don’t let adverse facts stand in the way of a good decision. You can’t make someone else’s choices. You shouldn’t let someone else make yours. Check small things. Share credit. Remain calm.  BE KIND. Have a vision. Be demanding. Don’t take counsel of your fears or naysayers. Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.

It Takes Persistence To Reach Your Goal “Keep doing” is the rule that must be followed if you want to be successful at anything. Your success will always be connected with your actions. Just keep moving towards your goal. You’ll make mistakes along the way but don’t ever quit. You may even have to hang on after others have let go. Persistence means taking pains to overcome every obstacle, to do all that’s necessary to reach your goal. In the end, the only people who fail are those that quit. All great achievements takes time.

You Can, Because You Think You Can Your range of available choices right now has no limits. The only limits you have are in your mind. You’ve got it in you to succeed. Just make up your mind and stick with it. You weren’t born with any limits on your powers or any set limits to your capacity. At any moment, you have more possibilities than you can act upon. Imagine your possibilities and your vision expands. Capture your dreams in your mind and your life becomes full. Reach out and touch the limits of your being in your mind. Look at things as they can be. (Reprinted with permission, Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology, Leadership Management® International, Inc.)

You Must Think Big, If You Want To Be Big High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation. You’ll always hit what you aim for in the long run. So why not aim high? If you can dream it, you can do it. If you don’t have a dream, how are you going to make it come true? Have the courage to follow your dreams. It’s the first step towards attaining your destiny. The empire of your future resides in your mind. Big thinking precedes big achievement.

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.
