When You’re Determined

When You’re Determined

“I have learned that success is to be measured not so much

by position that one has reached in life  as by the

obstacles which he has had to overcome

while trying to succeed.”

Booker T. Washington, educator

As I see it. . . . . . . .

When you’re determined

You can reach the heights of success when you’re determined . . . . to do it.

The position that you reach on your success journey is a reflection of your persistent of effort . . . . and in focusing on achieving their desired outcome.

When you look at the obstacles that a person had to overcome to achieve success; you look into the measure of the person’s character in their efforts and determination to succeed.

The secret of a successful person is in overcoming great obstacles on their success journey in order to reach greater success. Successful people are committed to their success and with that commitment. They will remain focused on their goals . . . . and will work through their obstacles maintaining a positive can do it attitude.

Use your obstacles as stepping stones to greater success . . . . not road blocks on your success journey.

Success is measured by overcoming obstacles . . . . when your determined you create the personal power to overcome your obstacles  and on achieving your goals.

Harness the Energy of Your Dreams

   Motivational Power Quote

Harness the Energy of Your Dreams

“A vision is a clearly-articulated

results-oriented picture

of the future you intend to create.

It is a dream with direction.”

Dr. Jesse Stoner Zemel, author

As I see it. . . . . . . .


Harness the energy of your dreams.


Until we clearly define our dreams they are vague thoughts in our mind with no direction or purpose.


The moment that we clearly define our dreams and put them in writing we create a mental picture of our future that we intend to create.


Once we create a result orientated vision of the future, our dreams take on a direction and we harness the energy of our dreams.


Clearly defining our dreams sets our course to achieve our desired outcome and to fill full our dreams.

Turn an Intangible Desire into a Concrete Plan

  Motivational Power Quote

Turn an Intangible Desire into a Concrete Plan

“Reduce your plan to writing.

the moment you complete this,

you will have definitely given concrete

form to the intangible desire.”

Napoleon Hill, author

As I see it. . . . . . . .


Turn an intangible desire into a concrete plan.


When we have a desire it starts as a wish, it’s a like to or a may be. Your desire is an intangible that a lot like trying touch fog, there’s nothing there for your hands to hold on to.


A desire can be the start of a great journey.


To go from an intangible desire to a purpose the first step in to put your desire into writing. The moment that you put your desire into writing you create a goal.


Your goal creates a purpose and a vision on the desired outcome.


You now have a concrete foundation to move forward with certainly.

Move Forward, No Matter What

Motivational Power Quote


Move Forward, No Matter What


“Life’s rewards go to those
who let their actions
rise above their excuses.”
Lee J. Colan


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Move forward, no matter what happens, without excuses.

About one year ago Tiger Woods stood victorious at the US Open in Augusta, Georgia and was recognized as the number one men’s professional golfer in the world.

In what may have been one of the greatest US Opens ever played, Tiger Woods won the championship after winning the playoff round on Monday.

If you watched the US Open you could see that Tiger Woods played in pain the entire Open with a knee that would require surgery.

Tiger had the surgery and had to start the long road of therapy to rebuild the strength in his leg and knee. The injury would keep him off the professional golf tour for almost a year.

In his first competition Tiger played well, but not well enough to win. There was some talk that maybe the knee would not hold up and that Tiger may have lost his edge.

Two weeks later, Tiger Woods hit a 15 foot putt to win the Arnold Palmer Classic in Orlando, Florida.

In what is believed to be one of the greatest comebacks, Tiger won the classic after trailing by as many as 5 stokes on the last hole.

What I took away from watching Tiger Woods winning the classic.

He never looked back.

He didn’t make excuses.

He remained focused under pressure.

He believed in himself.

He played with passion and purpose.

He stayed in control of his outcome.

Tiger let his actions speak for him.

Be like Tiger and move forward no matter what.

Now Tiger may be facing the biggest challenge is his life, and his decisions will lay the foundation on what his life will be.

Formula for Success

Motivational Power Quote


Formula for Success


“Don’t bother just to be
better than your
contemporaries or predecessors.
Try to be better than yourself.”
William Faulkner, author


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Formula for success

To become a truly effective business professional we have to focus on becoming the best at what we do.

We often look at our contemporaries as our competition and strive to become better than they are which is a step in the success journey, but not the only step.

Unfortunately we’re not able to control our contemporaries, their level of expertise, or their business.

The great news is that we can control our level of expertise, our business and our success.

To reach our full potential the key is continuous personal improvement and to concentrate on our priorities to achieve our desired outcomes.

Recognize that we have to get better than the competition but what is critical is for us to continuously become better at what we do.

Jump on Every Opportunity

Motivational Power Quote


Jump on Every Opportunity


“Jumping at several small opportunities
may get us there more quickly than waiting
for one big one to come along.”
Hugh Allen


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Jump on every opportunity that’s presented to you.

Look at every opportunity as a stepping stone to achieving your desired outcome and success.

No matter how small an opportunity appears to be at the time; an opportunity has the potential to accelerate your success journey and build the bridge to your future.

Every opportunity has the capacity to open doors and to move us closer to our goals. Missed opportunities have the opposite effect and increase the distance between us and success.

When small opportunities become combined they have an accumulation factor that will make a big difference in our success.

Don’t wait for that big opportunity to come along. Jump on every opportunity that you have and you’ll make your own big opportunities.

The Secret of Determination

Motivational Power Quote


The Secret of Determination


“Determination gives you the resolve
to keep going in spite
of the roadblocks that lay before you.”
Denis Waitley, Author, Speaker


As I see it. . . . . . . .
The secret of determination is formed within our choices.

Determination is a choice of seeing things through to their conclusion no matter how challenging the circumstances may appear to be or becomes.

Choose to visualize a successful outcome, see the ending exactly as you would like it to be.

People who are truly determined are committed to the effort necessary to reach their desired outcomes.

A determined person has an expectation of success before the first step is taken.

Successful people are determined to succeed and replace the word failure with the philosophy that they are experiencing a temporary setback and believe that a setback gets them one step closer to reaching their desired outcome.
