Grow Beyond What you Have Already Mastered

Motivational Power Quote


Grow Beyond what you Have Already Mastered


“Unless you try to do
something beyond what
you have already mastered
you never grow.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Grow beyond what you have already mastered

Take the steps to grow beyond what you have already mastered.

There is no perfect time to take the first step to grow beyond what you have mastered, but the best time to start is right now.

What I have learned about personal growth is that the key is to take action and to try.

In order to grow you need to be willing to step outside your comfort zone and try new things.

Once you grow beyond what you have already mastered your thoughts and actions will never return to their original state.

Follow your Vision

Motivational Power Quote


Follow your Vision


“The man with a new idea is a crank
until the idea succeeds.”
Mark Twain


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Follow your vision.

There are times that others don’t see your vision as you do and will call you a crank.

While attending Yale University, Fred Smith, founder of FedEX, wrote a term paper on the business model for what would become FedEX, his professor at Yale give him a C for his work.

The professor explained to Smith that his idea was illogical, and no one would invest their money in such a radical business concept or risk their career’s to work for such a company.

Fred Smith followed his vision and surrounded himself with committed people and launched FedEX in April 1973.

Today Fred Smith is seen as an innovator.

Don’t let other people’s opinions stand between you and your vision.

Never Surrender to Doubts and Fears

Motivational Power Quote


Never Surrender to Doubts and Fears


“A man’s doubts and fears
are his worst enemies.”
William Wrigley Jr., an American entrepreneur


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Never surrender to doubts and fears.

Doubts and fears become your worst enemies until you remove them.

There will be times on our success journey that we will experience doubts and fears. Don’t try to avoid them; confront them head on, neutralize the feelings and move pass them.

We create doubts in our mind when we experience a lack of confidence in ourselves. Keep your thoughts positive and focused on your success journey and your goals.

Your doubts will disappear and your confidence will increase once you have a clear direction and vision for your future and can measure your progress and activities.

Turn your doubts into certainty by keeping your thoughts moving in the direction of your success and goals.

There are times when we can develop fear as we move out of our comfort zone or move into unknown territory.

Fear can be best described as, “fantasizing experiences appearing real.”

A technique to eliminate fear is to focus on the situation and solutions and not on your feelings of doubt.

Turn your fear into faith and a belief in yourself.

Move forward and leave the baggage of doubts and fears on the side of the road and don’t look back.

Become Irreplaceable

Motivational Power Quote


Become Irreplaceable


“The top 20% in any profession
are never unemployed.”
Brian Tracy, Author, Speaker


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Become irreplaceable.

When we move into the top of our chosen profession we become a valued resource. When we are in the top 20% of our profession we become irreplaceable.

People at the top of their profession are seen as a person of influence with their opinions being highly valued.

At the top of our profession we create the means to financial freedom and have the ability to earn the income to free our minds of the worry about money and concentrate on our business and having a fulfilling life.

The top 20% of any profession are in demand and never lack employment opportunities.

Your potential is unlimited; the power to become a top achiever resides in harnessing the power of your mind. Believe you can and you will.

Be determined to move into the top 20% of your profession.

When You’re on the Success Escalator Keep Moving

Motivational Power Quote


When You’re on the Success Escalator Keep Moving


“The road of success is like
running up an escalator going down,
you need to keep running,
if you walk, you stand still,
if you stop you are going down.”
Anneloes Zuiderveen


As I see it. . . . . . . .
When you’re on a success escalator keep moving.

The success escalator can move in one of two directions, one taking us away from success and the other in the direction of success.

At times our success journey will appear to give us the allusion of trying to walk up an escalator going down. It will take an extended effort to maintain the pace and continue to move in the right direction. Make the decision to keep moving in the direction of success and apply the effort to reach your goals

If you’re moving in the wrong direction you will not achieve success. You have to make continuous adjustments and make the transition back towards the right direction.

Success will take a consistent effort.

If you slow down you will be left behind, and unless you get back on track and speed up you will not succeed.

If you stand still your goals and success will become out of sight and out of reach, resulting in failure.

It’s our success journey maintain focus and keep running in the direction of your goals and success.

Motivational Power Quote


Influence Others by Example


“Setting an example
is not the main means of influencing others
it’s the only means.”
Albert Einstein, inventor


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Influence others by example.

We have the capacity to influence thousands of people over our lifetime. The question then becomes how will we influence them? Will we be a positive and memorable influence, a negative influence, or no influence at all?

Our influence with others will be judged by the examples we set and the way others see us as a result of those examples.

When we consistently set positive examples for others to see we will be recognized as a person of influence, and that influence builds positive relationships.

People of influence become leaders in their field. The foundation of their influence becomes their relationships which are built on trust. As a leader people will value your opinion and seek you out.

Set a positive example and be seen a person of influence.
