Motivation and Success Strategies

The Seven C’s Of Success By Brian Tracy

After having studied top achievers and peak performers over the past 35 years, I’ve concluded that these unique men and women have, in most cases, mastered what I call the Seven C’s of Success.

1. Clarity – Eighty percent of success comes from being clear on who you are, what you believe in and what you don’t.

2. Competence – You can’t climb to the next rung on the ladder until you are excellent at what you do now.

3. Constraints – Eighty percent of all obstacles to success come from within. Find out what is constraining you or your company and deal with it.

Don’t Quit By Vic Johnson

Motivation

“Your circumstances may be uncongenial, but they shall not remain so if you only perceive an ideal and strive to reach it. You cannot travel within and stand still without.” – As a Man Thinketh

For many years I have carried around a poem called Don’t Quit. One of the lines says, “So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit; It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.” In our darkest hour it’s hard to see the end of our circumstance. All we can think of is our conditions worsening. But it’s usually at this time that our greatest growth can occur if we’ll see the moment as a growth opportunity — if we’ll see it as a time to learn how to control our thoughts toward an ideal that we cherish.

The 7 Basic Strategies of Decision Management By Corey Jahnke

Motivation

Author Brian Tracy asks the key question: “Imagine you only had one hour to live. What would you do with that hour?” I would write this blog! Why? Two reasons:

1) Before I do anything I ask myself a different Brian Tracy question: “Is this the best use of my time at this moment?” and if it’s not, I do something else. And,

2) What I want more than anything else in the world is to help you get the most out of your most precious gift ~ YOUR LIFE.

To Get to the Top, Do What Others Won’t By Rory Vaden

Motivation

So how do you stand out to be hired by potential employers? How do you stand out for a promotion to a superior? How do you stand out as loyal to the people you are leading? It’s simple: do the things that others aren’t willing to do.

Whether you’re a leader, a team member, or a candidate, success comes from having the discipline to do the things that you know you should be doing, even when you don’t feel like doing them. When you practice this kind of self-discipline regularly, you’ll naturally stand out from the pack because most people avoid the hard stuff. It’s just easier to put it off.

Do You Have What it Takes? Success Begins with Believing By Jack Canfield

Motivation

In order to be successful, we must first define what success means to us, and that means getting CLEAR about what you want, writing it down, and thinking BIG!

If you are going to be successful in spite of a recession and create the life of your dreams, you have to believe that you are capable of making it happen. You have to believe you have the right stuff, that you are able to pull it off.

You have to believe in yourself. Whether you call it self-esteem, self-confidence, or self-assurance, it is a deep-seeded belief that you have what it takes â€“ the abilities, inner resources, talents, and skills to create your desired results.

Motivation Is Just The Beginning: You Need To Take Action!

Motivation

For twelve years I was miserable, I was at a job that I absolutely hated. I had no college degree, I had no special skills, and I was stuck. At times it got so bad I thought about quitting on the spot and taking any job, even working fast food.

I clearly remember the day when I said enough was enough; I had to find more fulfilling work. I was super excited and pumped; I told everyone who would listen that I’m moving on to something much better.

Are You Holding Yourself Accountable? By Joe Tye

Motivation

When someone else holds you accountable for something (as in “holding your feet to the fire”) it is extrinsically imposed motivation. Most of us get our taxes done by April 15 because there are consequences for failing to do so, not because we have a burning desire to pay our taxes.

But when you hold yourself accountable, the motivation is intrinsic. You don’t need someone else holding your feet to the fire when you yourself have made the commitment to walk across the hot coals. That’s what Tuesday’s Promise of The Self-Empowerment Pledge is all about – promising yourself to not rationalize and make excuses, but rather to commit yourself to doing that which must be done:
