Service is the Essence of Success All successful people became successful because they gave some talent or ability in the service of others. You can contribute in some way to others no matter what your talent is. You too, can become successful. No one achieves success without being of service. Leadership is action, not position. The successful don’t use others, other people use the successful, for above all success is of service. Everyone has to be someone to someone to be anyone. To be your true self you need to be your best self and then share that person with others. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

It’s Possible to Live Your Dreams Your mind is your mental workshop. You can build anything you want in it. Visualize what you want in your mind. See it. Feel it. Taste it. Believe in it. Make your mental blue print and then begin to build. First, think about what you want out of life. The beginning always takes place in your imagination. Then organize your thoughts into definitive plans. Next, it’s time to transform your thoughts into reality by taking some positive action. Visualize then actualize your success. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

Find the Good side to Every Situation You cannot have the success you seek without some failures too. Any experience can be transformed into something of value. Everything depends on the way you look at things. What appear to be stumbling blocks and defeat before you can be stepping stones to victory if you remain determined. In all of your adversities lies the seeds of equivalent advantages. In every defeat there is a lesson showing you how to win the next time. View your problems as opportunities. When it’s dark enough you can see the stars. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

Improve Productivity with Communication

Written By Paul J. Meyer. (Reprinted with permission) Business leaders often state that one of the greatest needs in the workplace is people who can communicate. Once goal setting and planning are accomplished, goals and plans must be communicated to others whose cooperation is needed. Effective communication unifies employees and their work to the overall purpose and direction of the organization. Through communication, you raise your organization’s levels of energy, enthusiasm, and productivity! Mastering the art of communication is a complex process demanding time and ongoing effort. But choosing to continually improve your communication skills increases your productivity dramatically and the productivity of those around you.

A Good System Shortens the Road to a Goal Your goals can only be reached through the vehicle of a plan. One in which you fervently believe, and upon which you will vigorously act. There is no other route to success. Having an intelligent plan is your first step to success. With a plan, you know where you’re going. You’ll know what progress you’re making. And you’ll have a pretty good idea of when you can expect to arrive. Meticulous planning will enable everything you do to appear spontaneous to other people. What do you want to achieve or avoid? The answers to these questions are your objectives. How do you go about achieving your desired results? The answer to this will be your strategy. A good plan permits you to frame your life so that at some time in the future fact and your dreams will meet. Success or failure is often determined on the drawing board. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

Successful People Make Decisions It’s your life. You decide what you’re going to do with it. 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. 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.
