Winners Never Quit

Posted by: Jon Clayton | Comments (0)

Do you know why some people succeed and others fail? Well at least part of the reason and probably the biggest reason is some just quit. Your dreams, aspirations, and desires must be strong enough to propel you through all the difficulties you will encounter on the road to success.

The issue cannot always be resolved by relying on your goals for momentum. Really it is the emotional drive that allows us to weather the storms along the way, not the logic. You must rely on the power of emotion, that is, your dreams, aspirations, and desires to see you through. Logic will always give up too early.

“This is no time for  ease and comfort. It is time to dare and endure.  Never, never, never give up.” — Winston Churchill

It Is Not the Critic Who Counts

Posted by: Jon Clayton | Comments (0)

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”  — Theodore Roosevelt

The Power Of Responsibility

Posted by: Jon Clayton | Comments (0)

future1Responsibility is not a burden. It is the key that enables you to exercise control over your own destiny.

Only by taking responsibility are you able to move life in the direction of your own dreams and visions. Responsibility fully engages the best of who you are.

Responsibility can be difficult, time-consuming, unfair, inconvenient and uncomfortable. Yet it also brings you to a level of empowerment that cannot be reached in any other way.

At the heart of true achievement is responsibility. An essential element of meaningful fulfillment is responsibility.

Every great opportunity is an opportunity to take responsibility. Whatever the situation, the most successful way forward is to act with responsibility.

No matter what has happened, or who is to blame, or how it all came to be, choose to take full responsibility for your life. For that is the first step in making it great.

“No one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourself.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson, Poet

The Secret To Success

Posted by: Jon Clayton | Comments (1)

speedkillsI just LOVE secrets, but here is one that needs to be shared, although, not really a secret at all.

Many people have tried to succeed in the business world and indeed in terms of the successes or failures of different people, there are three general categories that can be used. Firstly, there are the people that are failures; people that really have no success and after a period of denial are eventually forced to give up on their business and go do something else. Then, there are the people that are successful; they are able to parlay their business into something that earns them a nice five figure income that they are satisfied with and can live on. And finally, there are the people that are enormously successful; these are the people you hear about all the time that become millionaires and are able to live a life that is the stuff of dreams because of the money that they have.

The question that most people will ask themselves with regards to this scenario has to do with the difference. Depending on the specific case, most people can figure out the difference between the first group and the latter two groups; it usually has to do with a lack of motivation, a lack of perseverance or the inability to deal with failure and just move onto something else. However, the difference between the second and third group is harder to figure out; after all, for the most part those two people start off the same and a lot of their business development is the same getting to the point of a five figure income. What, then, becomes the difference later on?

Well, in the majority of these comparisons, the difference has to do with a lack of diversification on the part of a person that has the five figure income. If a person builds a business that makes them $75,000 a year, then they might realistically have no problems whatsoever with that income. This is because the person might have all their needs met in a nice way and not really want to try and increase their income.

However, the person that goes on to eventually become a millionaire is not going to be satisfied with that amount. They will take as much money as they can spare and instead of spending it on a lifestyle enjoyed by a person with a $75,000 income, they will re-invest it. Either into another business or back into expanding the one they already have. This kind of person is not interested in living the lifestyle of a $75,000 income person; they want to make more money and have no problems living in less luxury now if it means they can live in more luxury later. A person like this has an income figure in their head from the start and keeps on working at it until they are making that income figure; usually through diversification.

The Two Choices We Face

Posted by: Jon Clayton | Comments (0)

By Jim Rohn

Each of us has two distinct choices to make about what we will do with our lives. The first choice we can make is to be less than we have the capacity to be. To earn less. To have less. To read less and think less. To try less and discipline ourselves less. These are the choices that lead to an empty life. These are the choices that, once made, lead to a life of constant apprehension instead of a life of wondrous anticipation.

And the second choice? To do it all! To become all that we can possibly be. To read every book that we possibly can. To earn as much as we possibly can. To give and share as much as we possibly can. To strive and produce and accomplish as much as we possibly can. All of us have the choice. To do or not to do. To be or not to be. To be all or to be less or to be nothing at all.

Our ultimate life objective should be to create as much as our talent and ability and desire will permit. To settle for doing less than we could do is to fail in this worthiest of undertakings. Results are the best measurement of human progress. Not conversation. Not explanation. Not justification. Results!

And if our results are less than our potential suggests that they should be, then we must strive to become more today than we were the day before. The greatest rewards are always reserved for those who bring great value to themselves and the world around them as a result of who and what they have become.

Jim Rohn

Be On Fire For Something!

Posted by: Jon Clayton | Comments (0)

Be On Fire For Something by Norman Vincent Peale

Be on fire for something. Pour yourself out, and you will never lose energy and vitality in doing so. You only lose energy when life becomes dull in your mind. Your mind gets bored and therefore tired of doing nothing. You don’t have to be tired. Get interested in something. Get absolutely enthralled in something. Throw yourself into it with abandon.

Get out of yourself. Be somebody. Do something. Don’t sit around moaning about things. The man who is doing something isn’t tired. If you’re not getting into good causes, no wonder your tired. You’re disintegrating. You’re deteriorating. You’re dying on the vine. The more you lose yourself in something bigger than yourself, the more energy you will have!
