Enterprising People Have Vision

Enterprising People Have Vision

“An enterprising person is one who comes across a pile of

scrap mental and sees the making of a wonderful

sculpture. An enterprising person is one who

drives through an old, decrepit part of town

and sees a new housing development. An

person is one who sees opportunity in

all areas of life.”

Jim Rohn 1930 – 2009, American Entrepreneur,

Author and Motivational Speaker

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

Enterprising people have vision

To see things as they are . . . . see things as they can be . . . . and then takes the bull by the horns . . . . and sets out to make it happen.

An enterprising person will focus on changing things into what they can be . . . . and will work through the obstacles they encounter to insure they achieve their desired outcome.

An enterprising person looks with their heart . . . . and creates the future in their minds. They visualize the future and they create a plan of action to create that future.

Be the person that sees the opportunities . . . . . and acts on them to be that enterprising person . . . .and that creates a whole new world of opportunities.

Enterprising people have vision . . . . and the goals and plan to create successful results.

Take the Personal Responsibility

Take the Personal Responsibility

“You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change

the circumstances, the seasons, or the wins, but you

can change yourself. That is something you

 can have charge of.”

Jim Rohn 1930 - 2009, American Entrepreneur,

Author and Motivational Speaker

As I see it . . . . . . .

Take the personal responsibility

Taking personal responsibility for your life . . . . your actions . . . . and for your accomplishments is the foundation of success and achievement.

The future is yours. You can mold it . . . . and can sharp it anyway that you choose to do.  The future can be anything that you . . . . choose to make it.

Success and Inaction Both Come With a Price

 Success and Inaction Both Come With a Price

“We must all suffer from one of two pains; the pain of

discipline or the pain of regret. The difference

is discipline weights ounces while

regret weights tons.”

Jim Rohn 1930 - 2009, American Entrepreneur,

Self-Author and Motivational Speaker

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

Success and inaction both come with a price.

Inaction is making the decision to procrastinate . . . . the price of procrastination is paid over a life time.

Procrastination is making a choice . . . . the choice that is made is the choice of inaction which is to take the action is choosing not to act. The price of inaction is enormous and is carried forward in the form of pain in living a life of regret for the things that we did not do and in the lost opportunities.

Taking action to succeed . . . . takes self-confidence in your decision making and in your abilities. You also have to have the mental discipline to take calculated risks . . . . and to make choices.

In taking action some of your choice will create breakthrough opportunities in your life. While others may have very little impact on your success journey, and there will be those that you would like to forget. 

Failing to take action subordinates the action to someone else to make the decision for you. You will lose the ability to make your own choices and to choose your actions.

When it’s time to take action . . . . you have to step up . . . . and take the best actions possible in the conditions that we find yourself in.

                 

The pain of regret for your inaction is carried forward . . . . and can become emotionally draining.

The discipline of making choices and taking action has a price. But there is peace of mind that you’re in control of your choices . . . . your actions . . . . and your future.

Success and inaction both come with a price . . . . you pay for your success in advance. You paid for your inaction over a life time.

Design and Implement Your Life’s Plan

 Design and Implement Your Life’s Plan

“If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll

fall into someone else’s, and guess what they might

 have planned for you? Not much.”

Jim Rohn 1930 – 2009. American Entrepreneur,

Self-Help Author, Motivational Speaker

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

Design and implement your life’s plan

Design and implement your own life’s plan . . . . or someone else will do it for you.

It’s your choice on the way you live your life. The decisions you make . . . . and the outcome you achieve.

You can choose to design and implement a plan for your life . . . . and to move into the future with a purpose. Or you can live your life by what someone else has planned for you.

Choosing to design a plan for your life is a powerful tool. It gives you the ability to set your course for your future and a direction for your life. It’s also you choice to choose the path that you want to follow.

Designing your life’s plan will help you to navigate your success journey with a purpose . . . . and to focus on achieving your goals. It also gives you the advantage to control your success journey . . . . and in achieving your desired outcome.

Without a plan our life we will either drift . . . . or come under what other people plan for you. Make the choice to stay in control of your life, your future . . . . and your results.

Design and implement your life’s plan . . . . and you will move forward with a purpose and with a  sense of certainly.

Focus on Successfully Achieving Your Goals

“Success is steady progress toward one’s personal goals.”

Jim Rohn 1930 - 2009, American Author, Motivational

Speaker   

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

Focus on successfully achieving your goals

Your goals are your vision of for future as you want it to be. The goals you establish are the mile makers on your success journey . . . . and a way to measure your forward progress. It also gives your success journey direction and a way to monitor yourself to ensure that you are on course to achieve your goals.

In realty your success journey moves at a difference pace at difference times. Some days you will take a giant leap forward, other days it may be a baby step. While other days you may not make any noticeable progress all.

A key to your goals is to keep your eyes on the prize . . . . and not to become distracted by the pace. Success is not always achieved by the person that moves the fastest. You will find that a steady pace in the direction of your goals will keep you moving in the right direction.

Focus on the direction of your success journey not the pace.

Having a successful journey and achieving your goals comes in reaching your desired outcome. Focus on successfully achieving your goals . . . . and you are focusing on a successful future.

Sitting on the Fence is Procrastination

Motivational Power Quote

Sitting on the Fence is Procrastination

“It doesn’t matter which side of the fence your on you

get off on sometimes. What matters most is getting off.

You cannot make progress without making decisions.”

Jim Rohn 1930 - 2009, Self-Help Author  

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

Sitting on the fence is procrastination

When you’re sitting on the fence . . . . you just sit there without making any progress. You’re not moving forward . . . . and all you can do is watch the world passing you by.

Sitting on the fence is actively practicing the art of procrastination . . . . and putting off making decisions to some unspecified time in the future.

The person that’s sitting on the fence is on the fence by their choice. They have ended up sitting on the fence as result of not making the decision to take action . . . . and to move their life forward. The person is just sitting on the fence going no where.

Unless the person sitting on the fence makes the decision to get off the fence and get on with their life the best bet is . . . . that they will eventually just fall off of the fence into obscurity.

When we are facing a challenging decision nothing productive gets done until we get off the fence. Make the best possible decision that we can make under the conditions. Put your decision in motive and move forward and move on.

Sitting on the fence is procrastination . . . .

Failure Is Not an Overnight Event

Motivational Power Quote

Failure Is Not an Overnight Event

“Failure is not single, cataclysmic event.

You don’t fail overnight.

Instead, failure is a few errors in judgment,

repeated everyday.”

Jim Rohn 1930 - 2009, American Entrepreneur, Author,

Motivational Speaker

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

Failure is not an overnight event

Failure is created when a person continuously repeats negative behavior until the behavior grows to a point to where it creates . . . . a total breakdown of the person’s forward momentum. That breakdown will bring the person’s success journey . . . . to the dead stop of failure.

On a daily basis you have to balance your decisions in favor of success. If you are thrown off the balance the scales can tilt in . . . . the wrong direction which will move you in the wrong direction.

Your days become a reflection of your decisions and when you balance those decisions in favor of success you will reach a positive tipping point in your life. Your life will become a mirror of your decisions and will have tipped the scale of your life in the direction of success. 

Failure is not an overnight event . . . . and success is a process the path that you choose to follow is your choice.

You Get Paid For What You Do With Excellence

Motivational Power Quote

You Get Paid For What You Do With Excellence 

“You don’t get paid for the hour. You get paid for the

value you bring to the hour.”

Jim Rohn 1930 - 2009, author, speaker   

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

You get paid for what you do with excellence

You don’t get paid by the hour. An hour just becomes . . . . a measure of time. Without meaning being applied to that hour . . . . there is very little or no value in the hour.

You’re not paid for what you know. Knowledge without proper application . . . . will not be a benefit or of value.  

You are paid for what you know . . . . and how you apply that knowledge with excellence.

Knowing may open the door, but what you know has very little value . . . . until it’s applied with excellence.

A person that has the knowledge and can consistently apply that knowledge with excellences . . . . will become a leader in their profession and a person that other people will seek out for their consul.

You get paid for what we do with excellence.  There is no limit to heights that you can soar at or you’re earning capacity . . . . when what you do is done with excellence.

It’s Your Life and Your Dreams

Motivational Power Quote

It’s Your Life and Your Dreams 

“If you don’t design your our life plan, chances are

you’ll fall into someone else’s plan.”

Jim Rohn, Motivational Author and Speaker  

 

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

It’s your life and your dreams

Designing a life plan comes down to two choices. You can design a plan for your life . . . . and take control of the plan and your future. Or you can give that choice away to someone else . . . . and live your life through the plan they have for you.

The choices may sound simple but in far too many cases we allow the people around us to control our lives and our choices. If you allow that to happen you lose not only control on how you live of life but . . . . you lose control of your spirit of who you where meant to be.

You have to decide how you want to live your life and you have to design a plan to meet the expectations and to live that life to its fullest.

This is not . . . . a dress rehearsal this is the real thing.

It’s your life and you have to make the choice on who you want to be and how you will live your life . . . . and then take the actions to achieve that life.

Design a life plan . . . . it’s your life and your dreams. Make it the one you where meant to live and live that life to it’s fullest capacity.

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Motivational Power Quote

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

“The more you know the less

you need to say.”

Jim Rohn, author  

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

Actions speak louder than words

Your actions speak volumes about who you are as a person.

You can talk about it, but without action your words have little or no value. Words that go unfulfilled, takes the luster off of your reputation and image.

People don’t want to hear what’s your going to do; they want to see you in action and see you doing it.

You will be judged you by your actions and if your words are consistent with those actions.

Today people want doers not talker.

Be seen as a doer a person of action, someone that can be counted on to get the job done.

Let you actions speak for you and be your calling card.

Actions speak louder than words and your actions will light the way of you success journey.

Motivational Power Quote

Be a Doer

“The few who do are the envy of

the many who only watch.”

Jim Rohn, author, motivational speaker

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


Be a doer


Do what has to be done when it has to be done. Be a doer and if other people want to stand around and watch, let the other people watch.


When a watcher complains about what you’re doing, let them complain, no one is listening to them and their opinion doesn’t matter. You are doing what has to be done and you are paving the way for your future. It also might be the only time a watcher does anything by wasting their days watching and complaining.


A doer sets the pace when others are sitting on the sideline watching.


A doer achieves while the watchers are thinking about it and taking no action.


A doer crosses the finish line while the watcher doesn’t even know the race started.


Be the doer in life and the doers will become the achievers by moving forward and in the direction of their goals.
