Successful People Attract Money

Motivational Power Quote


Successful People Attract Money


“Successful people make money.
It’s not that people who
make money become successful,
but that successful people attract money,
they being success to what they do.”
Dr. Wayne Dyer, self development author and speaker


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Successful people attract money.

Money is attracted through the services that we render to others. The higher the level of service that we provide the higher our income becomes.

We attract business as a result of our personal and business reputation and values which increases the number of people who are willing to refer others to us.

As our referrals increase our income continues to grow.

The money that we earn is attracted to by our efforts and services to others.

As we give we will receive.

Motivational Power Quote


Actions Are Determined By Our Motivation


“Every human action,
whether it has become
positive or negative,
must depends on motivation.”
Dalai Lama


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Actions are determined by our motivation.

The actions we take will be determined by our motivation.

With positive motivation we will take positive actions.

With negative motivation we will take either negative actions or action at all.

Our actions will determine the path that we will take on our success journey. One of moving forward in the direction of our goals, or one that takes us on a detour and ends up at the rest stop.

You control your level of motivation, your actions and your outcome.

Everything you do will be affected by your motivation; keep it laser focused and on target.

It’s Takes Discipline to Follow Your Dreams


“Discipline is remembering
what you want.”
David Campbell


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Its takes discipline to follow your dreams.

I the winter of 1972 Joe Paterno was completing this seventh year as the football coach at Penn State University; when he received a telephone call.

The call was from Bill Sullivan the president and principle owner of the New England Patriots of the National Football League.

Mr. Sullivan wanted to speak with Joe about coaching the Patriots. Joe was offered $1.3 million dollars contract and a signing bonus of $100,000 to coach the team.

Joe spoke to his wife about leaving Penn State and coaching the Patriots. She told him to follow his heart and do what he wanted to do.

Paterno called Bill Sullivan and accepted the coaching position.

Later that night Joe wake up to find his wife sitting in a rocking chair crying.

Finding his wife crying caused Joe to do a lot of souls searching about his family and coaching career.

In the moment of truth Joe determined that his family was happy and had roots at Penn State and the community. He also loved college football, the schools environment and developing the players into men.

Joe called Bill Sullivan and declined the coaching position with the Patriots.

At that moment he gave up the opportunity to become an instant millionaire. He continued to follow his dream of coaching college football. He made the decision to put the happiness of his family over money.

Thirty-eight years has passed. Joe has never looked back he is still coaching at Penn State. He has become the most successful coach in college football history. Today Joe Paterno has won more games then any other coach collage football history.

I don’t know Joe’s finances, but it safe to say that today Joe is a millionaire, his family is happy and part of the community, and he has coached many outstanding men.

What you may not know is at the time that Joe Paterno turned down a $1.3 million contract and a signing bonus of $100,000, he was making $35,000 a year to coach Penn State.

Joe Paterno had the strength and discipline to follow his dream.

When it comes down to the moment of truth follow your dreams.
