Motivational Power Quote


Place a Value on Yourself


“Until you value yourself,
you won’t value your time.
Until you value your time,
you will not do anything with it.”
M. Scott Peck, author


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Place a value on yourself.

Look in a mirror; the value you see in yourself is the value that you reflect to others.

Before other place value in us, we have to see the value in ourselves.

You are a unique person with unique values. Believe in yourself, believe in the values your offer to others and value in yourself.

Before other respect us we have to respect ourselves.

Engage in positive self-talk see yourself the way you want to be and others to see you.

Our time becomes perishable once it passes its gone forever. Place a value on your time and others will respect your time.

Until we value ourselves and our time, nothing positive will happen with it.

Our Information Will Influence Our Judgment

Motivational Power Quote


Our Information Will Influence Our Judgment


“A business man’s judgment
is no better than
his information.”
Robert P. Lamont


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Our information will influence our judgment.

When we are asked by our customers for assistants the information that we give them is critical in the business process.

The information we offer our customers is based on our skills, and accumulated knowledge. Our depth of our knowledge becomes the resource for the information that we offer.

Our judgment of our customer’s motivations needs and their circumstances will determine the information we offer them.

Our information will influence our judgment on how to best help our customers.

Providing accurate information to someone determines the confidence that person has in us and our level of influence with the person.

“Remember happiness doesn’t
depend on who you are
or what you have, it depends
solely on what you think.”
Dale Carnegie, author

“When a defining moment comes along,
you can do one of two things.
Define the moment,
or let the moment define you.”

In taking control of the moment we define ourselves and what that moment represents and how to maximize the moment in our life.

Define the moment by taking control and you control the outcome.
