Getting Started id the Secret of Getting Ahead

Motivational Power Quote

 Getting Started is The Secret of Getting Ahead

“The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret

of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming

tasks into small manageable task and then

starting on the first one.”

Mark Twain 1835 - 1910, American author and humorist

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

Getting started is the secret ahead of getting ahead

The secret of getting ahead is the mindset of taking the actions that are required to pull you in the right direction.

Skills, motivation or desire by themselves will not make you a success. Success is achieves when you combined . . . . your skills . . . . motivation . . . . and desire into your activities and actions. By combining your talents you create the forward momentum that will push your forward into the direction of your goals.  

As you move forward you will encounter many situations that will have to be managed properly to keep you moving in the right direction. You will encounter situations that at first glance would seem overwhelming; that you feel could derail your forward progress. When confronted with a situation break the conditions drown into manageable tasks . . . . and work on the smaller tasks until you have successfully taken an overwhelming situation . . . . and resolved the condition one pierce at the time. 

Managing overwhelming situations is in your attitude of how do you eat an elephant? The answer is that question is you eat the elephant one bit at a time. Big issues or conditions are resolved one step at a time.

Getting started is the secret of getting ahead  . . . . focus on the road in front of you and continue to make progress one step at the time in the direction of your goals.

Training Separates The Great From The Good

Motivational Power Quote

Training Separates The Great From The Good

“There is nothing training cannot do.

Nothing is above its reach.

It can turn bad moral to good:

it can destroy bad principles

and recreate good ones;

it can lift men to angel ship.”

Mark Twin 1835 - 1910, America Writer, Humorist   

   

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

Training separates the great from the good

Great companies and great people had a common trait; they know what to do . . . .  why to do it . . . . how to do it . . . . and when to do.

How they respond to the things that come into their lives and their actions are not random acts. They have prepared themselves . . . . to handle various situations and conditions. They respond to their conditions based on their training and the expertise that has been accumulated through their training and practical application.

Great companies and great people have prepared themselves to be . . . . in control of their destiny and the conditions that they encounter. As a result of their preparation and they are in control how they respond to the conditions. They will find themselves repeatedly responding effectively to their conditions.

Great people have taken on the personal responsibility to control their destiny. They have conditioned their mind to think through various scenarios seeking out the best solutions.

The one common tread in great companies and great people is training. Both have been trained for maximum efficiently and are able to compete at the highest levels successfully.      

They have conditioned themselves to successfully navigate the conditions that they encounter . . . . and they will put themselves into a position to succeed. 

One of the keys elements is training separates the great from the good is the commitment to continuous training and education. That commitment puts a company or a person on the leading edge for achieving their goals and success.  To become great you have to condition your thoughts through training your mind to think in terms of being great.

Choose Who You Associate With Carefully

Motivational Power Quote

Choose Who You Associate With Carefully 

“Keep away from people who try to belittle your

ambitions, small people always do that, but the

really great make you feel that you, too

can become great.”

Mark Twain 1835 - 1910, American Writer and Humorist    

 

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

Choose who your associate with carefully

You will meet many people in your lifetime on your success journey . . . . those that will be there to help and mentor you and those that will try to sabotage you and your career.

Choose who you associate with carefully as those associations have the capacity to make the difference between a successful career and one with marginal results.

People will judge you by the company that you keep . . . . therefore you will be judged by who your associate with. Build and maintain your relationships based on your values and with people of similar values.

The most recent studies show that a person . . . . will pick up the character traits of the people that a person most often associates with. Form your associations with the people that you would like to emulate . . . .  and in time you will mirror the person’s characteristics.

Stay away from or disassociate from the people that try to belittle you or your efforts. They are trying their best to see you fail . . . . They will take great joy if they can succeed in helping to take you down the wrong path and see you fail.

You know who they are they’re the negative Nellie’s and everything that they talk about . . . . or in their lives is negative or someone else’s fault. When you see that person entering into your life . . . . run for the hills they are a walking and talking nightmare. 

Choose who you associate carefully. For just one person can make the difference to impact you, your life and your career. That person can put you over the top in achieving success or sink you into the waste land of failure.  

Choose who you associate with carefully . . . . because your success will hinge on the choice you make.

Share Your Joy

Motivational Power Quote

Share Your Joy

“To get the full value of a joy,

you must have somebody

to divide it with.”

Mark Twain, writer

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


Share your joy


Our joy is meant to be shared, and when we share that joy we create a special moment in our life and the life of person that we share it with. At the moment we share the joy we create a moment that lasts a lifetime.


Sharing our joy multiples the meaning of the joy for us and with the people in our lives that are most important to us.


Share your joy and you will make a difference in a persons life.

Go For It

Motivational Power Quote

Go For It

“The man with a new idea

is a crank until the idea succeeds.”

Mark Twain

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


Go for it


If you have new ideas go for it.


If you want to try new concepts go for it.


Success comes in breaking down old barriers and trying new ideas. Step out of the old box of your comfort zone and step into the opportunity zone of new ideas.


When we go for it new opportunities seem to open for us.


Until you try out your new ideas nothing new happen. Put your new ideas into an action plan and try them out and you will change the course of your success journey and you will change your results.


Go for it.

“The worst loneliness is not

Be a person that’s comfortable with yourself and you‘ll find others are comfortable with you.

What’s the Difference Between a Cat and a Lie

Motivational Power Quote

 

What’s the Difference Between a Cat and a Lie

“One of the most striking differences

between a cat and a lie

is that a cat has only nine live.”

Mark Twain, author and humorist

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


What’s the difference between a cat and a lie?


A cat only has nine lives, a lie lives on forever.


A lie will continue to resurface and challenge ones character.


Lies will cause a gap in ones reputation and threaten a person’s standing in the community and in business.


A llie will outlive the person.


Be a person of character and make the right decision to do what’s right at the outset.
