Attitude Quotes from Zig Ziglar!
Attitude Quotes from Zig Ziglar!
Positive thinking will let you use the abilities,
training and experience you have.
Positive thinking won’t let you do anything but it will
... let you do everything better than negative thinking will.
We all need a daily check up from the neck up
to avoid stinkin’ thinkin’ which ultimately leads
to hardening of the attitudes.
It’s not what happens to you that determines how far you
will go in life; it is how you handle what happens to you.
You cannot tailor make the situations in life,
but you can tailor make the attitudes to
fit those situations before they arise.
Zig Ziglar

CHAPTER 3 FAITH Viaualization of and Belief in the Attainment of Desire, The Second Step Toward Riches
"Faith is the "eternal elixir" which gives life, power and action to the impulse of thought! Faith is the starting point of all accumulation of riches! Faith is the basis of all "miracles" and all mysteries which cannot be analyzed by the rules of science! Faith is the only known antidote for failure."

If You Want A Thing Bad Enough, Les Brown
If you want a thing bad enough go out and fight for it, to work day and night for it, to give,up your time, your peace and your sleep for it...if all that you dream and scheme is about it, ...and life seems worthless with out it...if you gladly sweat for it and fret for it and lose all your terror of the opposistion for t,,,if you simply go after that thing that you want with all your capacity, strength and sagacity, faith hope and confidence and stern pertinacity...if neither cold, poverty, famine, nor gout,sickness nor pain, of body and brain, can keep you away from the thing that you want...if dogged and grim you beseech and beset it, with the help of God, you WILL GET IT! - Les Brown

Harmonizing Thoughts from Vic Johnson Via As A Man Thinketh, James Allen
Harmonizing Thoughts: "A person is the causer(though nearly always unconciously) of his circumstances, and that, whilst aiming at the good end, he is continually frustrating its accomplishment by encouraging thoughts and desires which cannot possibly harmonize with that end." - As A Man Thinketh, James Allen
*Understand that we cannot change our circumstances without first changing our thoughts to harmonize with the circumstances we want.
*Wayne Dyer, You'll See It When You Believe It. "Work each day on your thoughts rather than concentrating on your behavior. It is your thinking that creates the feelings you have and ultimately your actions as well."

I WILL PERSIST UNTIL I SUCCEED, Og Mandino
I will persist until I succeed.
I was not delivered unto this world in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I am a lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep. I will hear not those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious. Let them join the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny.
I will persist until I succeed.
The prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning; and it is not given to me to know how many steps are necessary in order to reach my goal. Failure I may still encounter at the thousandth step, yet success hides behind the next bend in the road. Never will I know how close it lies unless I turn the corner.
Always will I take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult.
I will persist until I succeed.
Henceforth, I will consider each day's effort as but one blow of my blade against a mighty oak. The first blow may cause not a tremor in the wood, nor the second, nor the third. Each blow, of itself, may be trifling, and seem of no consequence. Yet from childish swipes the oak will eventually tumble. So it will be with my efforts of today.
I will be liken to the rain drop which washes away the mountain; the ant who devours a tiger; the star which brightens the earth; the slave who builds a pyramid. I will build my castle one brick at a time for I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking.
I will persist until I succeed.
I will never consider defeat and I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retreat; for they are words of fools. I will avoid despair but if this disease of the mind should infect me then I will work on in despair. I will toil and I will endure. I will ignore the obstacles at my feet and keep mine eyes on the goals above my head, for I know that where dry desert ends, green grass grows.
I will persist until I succeed.

An Uncommon Life...
An Uncommon Life
I choose not to be a common man. Me, it’s my right to be uncommon if I can. I’ll seek opportunity, not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen – humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk, to dream and build, to fail and succeed. I’ll refuse to live from hand to mouth. I’ll prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence. The thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of Utopia. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any friend. It is my heritage to stand erect , proud and unafraid, to think an act for myself and face the world boldly and say, “This I have done.”
- President Theodore Roosevelt

Nugget #33 What Works? Work On That. From Let Go Of Whatever Makes You Stop By John L. Mason
The main thing that's wrong with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished. When you are through improving, you're through. Use whatever you have been given, and more will come to you. Never leave well enough alone. "Opportunities multiply as they are seized; they die when neglected."(Anonymous). "Every ceiling, when reached becomes a floor upon which one walks and now can see a new ceiling. Every Exit ia an entry somewhere"(Tom Stoppard).

The Science OF Getting Rich By Wallace D. Wattles
.WHATEVER MAY BE SAID IN PRAISE OF POVERTY, the fact remains
that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless
one is rich. No one can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or
soul development unless he has plenty of money, for to unfold the soul
and to develop talent he must have many things to use, and he cannot
have these things unless he has money to buy them with. A person
develops in mind, soul, and body by making use of things, and society
is so organized that man must have money in order to become the
possessor of things. Therefore, the basis of all advancement must be
the science of getting rich. The object of all life is development, and
everything that lives have an inalienable right to all the development it
is capable of attaining

Jim Hammons My Think and Grow Rich...Crisis
Remember, too, that all who succeed in life get off to a bad start, and pass through many heartbreaking struggles before they "arrive." The turning point in the lives of those who succeed usually comes at the moment of some crisis, through which they are introduced to their "other selves."
***************************************************************************
This paragraph for Think and Grow Rich is one of a two that resignated with me my 1st time through the book when it was given to me some 27 years ago when I was 21. It was given to be by a friend, a girl that when you met her yu know that she had something going on unlike anyone else. She was always very upbeat, motivated, excited and just Fired Up^^^ all the time.
The week that I was given Think and Grow Rich I was at a "crisis point" in my life, yes at the age of 21 I was in "crisis." I had moved to TExas from Nebraska on a whim with some friends when the meat packing plant we were all working at laid us off indefinately. The 1st year was a lot of fun although when I returned to Nebraska for Christmas only 10 short months later I was pretty beaten down by the big city and stayed home for 3 weeks almost not to return. But something inside said go give it one more year and see how it goes, so I returned.
I was working as a brick tender which if you don't know what that is thank
your lucky stars! There had been some rainy weather so we were shut down for a couple days, when we returned to work the foreman felt the job had fallen behind and decided to pick up the pace. I was on top of a 2 story scaffle when the forklift pulled up with a load of 300 brick where normally it was only prepared for 200, when the fork lift set the brick down I stepped over to grab the brick from following the forks and as soon as I placed my weight on the wooden plank it gave way, and down to the ground me and 300 brick fell.
Now when something like that happens either you open your eyes or you don't and I opened my eyes and the 1st thing that hit my mind was I'm never going to do this kind of work again.
So back to later that week I'm at home one night by myself busted up broke and broken ready to make the trip back when there is a knock at the door, its are female friend, I say ours because I had several roomates at the time. So we sit and talk for hours, I told her what was happening and that I was probably going to throw in the towel and head back to Nebraska. Her 1st words were and thats going to help you how? Then her next words were, wha kind of work do you think you will be able to find there? We talked some more and she said before she left don't make any decisions or do anything I'm going to bring you something tomorrow.
The next evening she kept her word and when she walked in she handed me this book that was titled Think and Grow Rich BY Napolean Hill, she told me not to judge it just to read it. And I did, of course like everyone for the 1st time I couldn't put it down, remember I'm just from a small town basically rural Nebraska my friends I had rarely if ever even heard of or seen a Mercedes or a Rolex watch or Designer clothes. Now I did have friends that were from wealthy families and lived at the private lake. While I lived on the south side of the tracks and my mother worked 3 to 4 jobs at a time raising three kids by herself. So to say I was not from an affluent back ground.
I'm now 48 or will be in a couple weeks and my life has not been perfect but I truly have been blessed beyond measure. I've continued my Personal Development Journey and even consider myself and expert on the subject.
I've literally read hundreds of books, listen to hundreds if not thousands of hours of audios, sat in meetings and trainings until I could'nt sit no more. And everyday the 1st thing I do after I Thank the Lord for another day, is pick up a book that I might get that one little nugget from that will make my day or help me make someone elses day which is what I enjoy to do the most!
And to think it all started 27 years ago when someone thought enough of me to give me that 1st book Think and Grow Rich, I've given hundreds of books and programs away since that day and I spoke to thousands of people, the entire time just hoping I would touch that one person who needed to hear that one nugget that would turn their day or even their life around.
I hope you enjoyed my quick little story here, its definately the short version, those who know me well have heard more than they probably care to say!
If you have not yet, I dont care if you're eight or eighty read the book Think and Grow Rich, By Napolean Hill, you can get one now on Amazon I think for less than $10. Read it again and again, and read other books like it.
And I know you will Think and Grow Rich!
Thanks for Your Time!
When you get a second stop by the blog and let me know how you liked the book or other books!

HOW RICH PEOPLE THINK BY STEVE SIEBOLD CHAPTER 12
Middle class believes the road to riches is paved with formal education… World class believes the road to riches is paved with specific knowledge
While the rich respect the power of formal education, they usually don’t associate it with building a financial empire. Many world-class performers have little formal education, and have amassed their wealth through the acquisition and subsequent sale of specific knowledge. Formal education teaches people how to think and perform in the linear world of commerce, but the rich rarely become wealthy trading time for money. The great ones operate from a non-linear mindset that keeps them perpetually in a consciousness of creative thought. At this elevated level of thinking, there are no limits or boundaries, and the sole focus is on solving the seemingly unsolvable. In this non-linear school of thought, two and two no longer equal four and anything is possible. The rich use their brainpower in addition to the brainpower of others to hone in on ultra specific solutions their competitors have given up on. Meanwhile, the masses are convinced that master’s degrees and doctorates are the way to wealth, mostly because they are trapped in the linear line of thought that holds them back from higher levels of consciousness. One of the greatest secrets of the rich lies in their ability to rely on their common sense and a street smart approach to problem solving. While the middle class makes simple problems seem complex, the world class makes complex problems seem simple. Their ability to reduce any problem to an elementary level allows them to see

solutions most academics wouldn’t even consider. The wealthy aren’t interested in the means, only the end. Solve the problem, get compensated, and repeat the process until you’re rich. End of story. This single-minded focus always pays off sooner or later, at which time the masses will call it luck.
“Formal education will make you a living. Self-education will make you a fortune.”

KEEP YOUR TANK FULL!
Keep Your Tank Full!
Fired Up Jim Hammons 2011 Success Tip #7. Keep you tank full. If you drive car until your gas tank is empty you run out of gas and end up on the side of the road or the middle of traffic. So in order not to run out of gas you periodically take time to stop into a gas station and fill your tank up with gas.
The same analogy works for your physical body, 2-3 times per day you take the time to stop and eat food which is fuel for your body. Like the car if you don't put the fuel in your body than you literally run out of gas "energy" you get tired and sluggish and you want to pull over and take a rest or sleep.
Which brings to another tank that you need to keep fueled up and that’s the tank of your mind your mental tank. Especially being an entrepreneur, business owner etc. It's imperative that you feed your mental fuel tank so that you can stay sharp, focus and on top of your game. Life its self can be very stressful add on to that the demands that your work and career add to it and its not a good situation. The fact is though this is the most neglected tank and the one that most often runs on empty. Mostly due to ignorance, people just don't know how or where to get the information or maybe they know but they just don't believe in self motivation or personal development and third, they know how and where they just do not take the time to fill their mental tank.
My suggestion if you are in the third category is that you set your alarm clock if you still use one I personally do not I wake up when I'm finished sleeping which is normally way before most people set their alarms for anyway! But set your alarm 30 minutes earlier and after your inspirational time which is spiritual time whatever that means or is to you take 20 to 30 minutes to read or listen to a positive self improvement or personal development book or cd program. If you have no material books or cds I'm about to give you a tip on how you can get started absolutely for free at once.
Google search or You Tube search the key words motivation or personal development, or for leaders and trainers who you now the names of like, Jim Rohn, Tony Robbins , John C. Maxwell, Zig Ziglar, Tom Hopkins, Harvey McKay and you will find a plethora of great articles videos etc. Also you can visit my web show for videos from some of my personal favorite leaders, trainers and speakers on these subjects!
I hope this helps and is of value to you, I personally have been on a 25 plus year journey or self improvement and personal development and still continue everyday on my journey! I wish you great success and happiness in all that you choose to endeavor.
