Men respect standards- get some!
Our creator, in his infinite wisdom, created every single soul with a gift. Your gift may be totally unique or it may be similar to.
Eighty-five percent of small businesses in this country fail within the first two years. Eight-five percent! That’s a whole lot of failure. Warren Buffett said that he would not invest in any business where the owner hasn’t failed at least twice. I love that truly wealthy and successful people understand that failure is part of the process.
Too often you focus on the cons before you even consider a pro. You can’t even think about the benefits of taking on your dream because you’re too busy focusing on the “what if,” the “what could be,” and the “why it won’t work for me” excuses. You’re willing to waste years of your life walking away from your dreams instead of running toward your destiny.
Sit up, speak with boldness about what you know, and add value that would be absent from the table if you remained silent. Take your opportunity to add your unique talents and skills to the mix.
When you understand that God blesses you to become a blesser, you will realize that giving back will become an important part of your success.
It is a promise of God that when you do the right thing, an even better thing will happen... If you take one step, He’ll take two. When you are bold enough to step off in faith, to jump, that is when you’ll soar.
There’s no way you’re going to make it out of this world without spending some time down in the valley or in a dark place. But this isn’t the time to give up. This is the time to understand that God is trying to lead you to your purpose and to your gift. Use adversity to your advantage. Don’t let it stop you.
Change comes in every person’s life. You can either react to it or you can participate in it.
Successful people appreciate where they have come from, but they don’t let their past set the tone for their future. Successful people are innovators.
Listen, if you are an entrepreneur who is passionate about your product, but you never ask anyone to buy what you are selling, it will never get sold. Sure, there’s a possibility that you can deliver your best sales pitch in your best Sunday suit and they will still say no. But so what? Do you know how many times I’ve been told no for movie scripts, television shows, and comedy specials? A whole hell of lot more times than I heard yes.
Life is going to get bad sometimes. You’ll make poor choices. You’ll fail. You’ll lose hope and maybe want to give up. If you jump, and trust that He will be there to help you soar, there is nothing you cannot achieve.
Success is not just about your ability to achieve, but also your ability to serve through sharing. True success lives in our legacies.
N othing on this planet can compare with a woman’s love – it is kind and compassionate, patient and nurturing, generous and sweet and unconditional. Pure.
How do you expect to get what you need if you don’t open up your mouth and ask for it? Our lives are a direct reflection of our communication. If you are unwilling to communicate your needs to your employers, customers, partners, and family members, you can’t blame them for not giving you what you need.
Stop giving your gift to those who want to use you for the development of their legacy, at the cost of yours.
Excuses are the lies you convince yourself are true to avoid proving you are worthy of the gift you were given. Say this with me – “NO MORE EXCUSES.
So, I ask you again – what’s next? There has to be a reason to get up tomorrow. There has to be a reason to go forward. Your calling has to be stronger than your current circumstances to help your dream keep moving forward.
Most often, perishing is a slow, painful process, and if you aren’t paying attention, it will trick you into thinking that this is the way things are supposed to be. By failing to have a vision, you are stripping yourself of every possible blessing, relationship, and opportunity. When you sit by and just let your life perish without a vision, it is the most painful kind of death.
Find that one glimmer of light in the darkness.
Now that you have it all together, let me ask you this: What’s next? Knowing what’s next is paramount to your success. The what’s next is the reason to keep waking up. The what’s next is the driving force for all successful people. There always has to be a what’s next.
