A dead end can never be a one way street; you can always turn around and take another road. A dream becomes a goal when action is taken toward its achievement. A good leader is one who can tell another how to reach his or her potential; a great leader is one who can help another discover this potential for him or herself. A rejection is nothing more than a necessary step in the pursuit of success. A single question can be more influential than a thousand statements. An objection is not a rejection; it is simply a request for more information. Confusing the words wish, faith and pray with each other usually just results in a minor grammatical faux pas, but when any of these words, especially hope, is confused with action, the results are much more devastating. Enthusiasm is excitement with inspiration, motivation, and a pinch of creativity. Enthusiasm is NOT the same as just being excited. One gets excited about going on a roller coaster. One becomes enthusiastic about creating and building a roller coaster. Every day, people settle for less than they deserve. They are only partially living or at best living a partial life. Every human being has the potential for greatness. For every good reason there is to lie, there is a better reason to tell the truth. Frustration, although quite painful at times, is a very positive and essential part of success. Having a positive mental attitude is asking how something can be done rather than saying it can't be done. I like to think of sales as the ability to gracefully persuade, not manipulate, a person or persons into a win-win situation. If you think Abraham Lincoln became famous for inventing the town car, it is time to spend a few hours on history. In sales, a referral is the key to the door of resistance. Negotiating techniques do not work all that well with kids, because in the middle of a negotiation, they will say something completely unrelated such as, You know what? I have a belly button! and completely throw you off guard. One's work usually occupies more than half of one's waking life. Choosing work that does not bring happiness will lead to a life that is mostly disappointing. People who come from dysfunctional families are not destined for a dysfunctional life. Resume: a written exaggeration of only the good things a person has done in the past, as well as a wish list of the qualities a person would like to have. Self-sabotage is like a game of mental tug-of-war. It is the conscious mind versus the subconscious mind where the subconscious mind always eventually wins. The best way to lose a job is just not to care. When you do not care, it shows in everything you do. The credo of the average American is all things in moderation. This is the same average American that is about 20 pounds overweight and has a one out of four chance of dying from heart disease. The discipline you learn and character you build from setting and achieving a goal can be more valuable than the achievement of the goal itself. The only place opportunity cannot be found is in a closed-minded person. There is a misleading, unwritten rule that states if a quote giving advice comes from someone famous, very old, or Greek, then it must be good advice. Think of success as a game of chance in which you have control over the odds. As you begin to master concepts in personal achievement, you are increasing your odds of achieving success. Untapped potential is the difference between where a person is now and where he or she can be. Using rhetorical questions in speeches is a great way to keep the audience involved. Don't you think those kinds of questions would keep your attention? Visualization is daydreaming with a purpose. |
