Every big accomplishment is a series of little accomplishments. To achieve maximum success you must accept that progress is made one step at a time. A building is built one brick at a time. Football games are won one play at a time. A business grows bigger one customer at a time. You walk over the highest mountain one step at a time. Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out. Nothing great is created suddenly, any […]
The most important quality essential to success is perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature. 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. 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. And it's only over when YOU say […]
Most people say “win-win” but I add a third win. With that third win, comes greater successes. Win-win-win means working as a team. Building the team through wins is the most productive way of building companies, relationships, communities, and neighborhoods. Everybody has strengths and weaknesses. When we work synergistically together with a system—you have to have systems in place so the team knows where they stand—then everyone on the team wins. With Win-Win-Win we won’t […]

Your imagination is your mental workshop where all your plans are fashioned. Visualize your goals and you'll get your subconscious to work toward making your mental pictures come true. Picture yourself in your minds eye as having already achieved your goal. See yourself doing the things you'll be doing when you've reached your destination. Olympic medalists use the art of mental rehearsal or visualization. They mentally run through important events before they happen. Decide what you want out of your life. Sense it […]
If you do the right things right, you're going to succeed. If you have correct goals, and you keep pursuing them the best way you know how, everything else will fall into line. You are what and where you are today because you first imagined it. Knowing where you want to go is all you need to get there. Just return over and over to that picture in your mind of the place you are headed for. The first time I […]
Your obstacles will always look large or small to you according to whether you are large or small. Understanding this will give you the courage necessary to overcome them. Courage gives you the capacity to confront what can be imagined. It gives you the ability to rise above reality. Face your difficulties directly and you'll always win. You are more important than any of your problems.
The MAGIC in giving and receiving appreciation for something or from someone is making sure it is said in a way that the listener can receive it. Begin with middle of the road words that describe the appreciation, the number, the normal. If you start out by saying, “It’s magnificent to hear from you,” that could sound phony to some. The word “magnificent” is a powerful word that the listener may not be able to […]

A lot of people say, "One day at a time," but what does it really mean? Many years ago, A friend of mine named Ron, once explained it to me this way, "It means to live by your principles. Be in the moment. Live for today. Do the best you can do today and all your tomorrows will work out beautifully." When I first heard his explanation, I pondered it for a moment and then […]
