Reaching Out Changing Life

There are many things in life that will catch you eye, but only a few will catch your heart……pursue those.

Our greatest power is the power to choose. We can decide where we are, what we do, and what we think. No one can take the power to choose away from us. It is ours alone. We can do what we want to do. We can be who we want to be.

Dedications to Succeed

 "To contrive is nothing! To construct is something! To produce is everything!"

We are all salespeople! Every day of our lives, we are selling our ideas, our plans, our products and our enthusiasm to everyone.

Dedicate yourself to excellence in selling! Resolve to be a winner! Declare war on mediocrity, on pessimism!

Dedicate yourself to the idea that yours is a great profession - one that is filled with endless opportunities for service to your fellow man and with rich rewards for yourself.

Dedicate yourself to your company, your organization, and your associates. Prove your gratitude for the opportunities they have provided by giving them your best.

Dedicate yourself to the daily task of turning problems into challenges, difficulties into opportunities, lethargy into enthusiasm, and procrastination into action!

Be done with excuses! Someone has defined excuses as "the tools with which persons with no purpose in view build for themselves great monuments of nothing."

Every day, affirm to yourself the importance of your profession. Tell yourself a hundred times a day that your work is a potential blessing to many people, essential to the economy of our nation, and vital to the welfare and happiness of you and your family.

The depth of your dedication will determine the altitude of your achievement! Sink the roots of dedication deeply into the bedrock of determined purpose, daily preparation, and detailed planning.

What Motivates You to Action?

 "It is never too late to be what you might have been."

If you're not motivated to take action, raise the stakes. The way to get motivated, to get passionate and to get going is to make it worth your while.

It's only natural to procrastinate, avoid and make excuses when what you must do has little or no meaning for you. The answer is not to force yourself to act against your own interest, but rather to find a way to get yourself positively invested.

When you make it important enough, you'll make it happen. When you make it truly matter, you'll figure out how, and you'll persevere until it's done.

If your dreams are just empty wishes, and you're not moving passionately toward them, make them bigger. Give them consequence, and you'll make them compelling.

Get your own self-interest working in your favor. Align that self-interest with what's best for everyone, and you'll find yourself actually doing what's best for everyone, including you.

There's no need to fight or strive or struggle to get yourself to take action. Make it matter, and you'll make it happen.

Maintain Enthusiasm

 People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.

Enthusiasm is at the foundation of all progress! Talent is valuable but, without enthusiasm, it pales at the point of sale. Enthusiasm is the difference between mediocre and superior success in selling.

Where do you get this energizing quality of enthusiasm? How do you maintain it after you tap into it?

Admonition one: Take responsibility for your own level of enthusiasm throughout the selling day. Don't leave it in the hands of others or with the circumstances around you. Learn what creates enthusiasm for you. Then, do it - turn it on!

What are your first thoughts when you start a new day? Do you remind yourself of the good news? That's the beginning of enthusiasm for that day.

  • I have a high level of energy--that's good news!
  • I have a mind that is alert --that's good news!
  • I have challenging work to do --that's good news!
  • I have a strong market with great potential --that's good news!
  • I'm creating my future today --that's tremendous!

Admonition two: Act as if you have enthusiasm even when you don't. Psychologists have concluded that it is easier to act your way into a new way of feeling than it is to feel your way into a new way of acting. Read that statement again. Think about it. It translates to this: Act as if you feel enthusiastic and you will feel enthusiastic.

Enthusiasm reflects confidence, spreads good cheer, raises morale, inspires associates, and generates loyalties. It draws customers to you like a magnet. Enthusiasm is contagious.
