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.
