Business Motivation – October 14, 2009

You Are What You Repeatedly Do First you make your habits, and then your habits make you. You become a slave to your constantly repeated acts. What at first you choose, at last compels. Your habits are either the best of servants or the worst of masters. Your thoughts lead you on to a purpose, your purposes go forth in action. Your actions form your habits. Your habits determine your character, and your character fixes your destiny. Once in motion, a pattern stays in motion. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

Success Is On Your Horizon You can start at anytime if you want to be successful. But you have to start. You won’t accomplish anything if you wait for all the possible objections to be overcome. Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most. Don’t be afraid to live. Don’t wait for things to change. Don’t wait until you have more time, until you are less tired, until you get the promotion, until you settle down, until, until, until. Don’t wait for a major event in your life to occur before you begin to live. Begin where you are. Work where you are. The hour you are wasting now, dreaming of some far off success, is crowded with tremendous possibilities. When you take the first step, your mind will mobilize all its forces to assist you. Once you have started, all that is within you and unknown forces around you will come to your assistance. The only way to start down the road to success is to move your feet, one step at a time in the direction you want to go. Success is waiting for you. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

You Must Make Your Own Opportunities Your destiny isn’t a matter of chance, it’s a matter of the choices you make. It’s not something you wait for, but rather something you pursue. Don’t wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Opportunities sometimes come disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat. You can start where you are. You are at this moment standing in the middle of opportunity. If you act on your dreams you can live them. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

Business Motivation – October 7, 2009

Riches Lie Within You, Not In Your Material Possessions Wealth without enjoyment is little consolation. Your real riches in life are riches of the head and Heart. Satisfaction comes when you appreciate what you have. While success is getting what you want, true happiness is wanting what you get. It’s not how much you have, but how much you enjoy that truly matters. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

Business Motivation – October 5, 2009

Wanting To Win Is Key Success is connected with continuous action. It’s largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go. You’re not finished when you’re defeated, you’re only finished when you quit. The most important quality essential to success is perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature. You can have a fresh start any time you choose, for “failure” is not in the falling down, but in the staying down. It’s not over until it’s over. If you’ve got the courage to stick it out, you’ll attain your goal. Winning isn’t everything, but wanting to is. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try again. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

Business Motivation – October 2, 2009

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. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

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.

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 – September 25, 2009

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. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

“You are not paid to work hard. In fact, you are not paid for effort at all. You are paid for results.
