Sales coach and speaker Brian Tracy discusses how common the fear of failure is and how to capitalize on it.

Watch this video and see how Philadelphia Eagles’ Offensive Line Coach Juan Castillo made his own luck. He decided what he wanted to happen and refused to accept any other outcome. It’s a great story… and no way, I am not an Eagles fan! But I am a Juan Castillo fan!

I found this 2011 New Year’s Resolution and Action
Calendar recently and had to share it with everyone.

Here is a guideline on how to use it:

“Choose your top 3 most important resolutions or
goals and enter them on the lines below each month
(or insert more lines). If your goals are based on
certain days of the week, highlight those columns
that apply. As you accomplish each task or goal,
check it off for that day.”

A definition of character by Hyrum Smith…powerful!

“Character is the ability to carry out a worthy decision
after the emotion of making that decision has past.”

Hear what Hyrum has to say about Character on this video below:

So simple….so powerful. Latch on to this wisdom by Jim Rohn and don’t let go for any reason!

I love what Jeffery Gitomer says here about philosphy…and how you have to frame yourself into a “YES” mindset.

After all, no matter what you do .  .  . success is all about mindset.

This historic event took place on 6 May, 1954 during a meet between British AAA and Oxford University at Iffley Road Track in Oxford. It was watched by about 3,000 spectators. With winds up to 25 miles per hour (40 km/h) prior to the event, Bannister had said twice that he favored not running, to conserve his energy and efforts to break the 4-minute barrier; he would try again at another meet.

However, the winds dropped just before the race was scheduled to begin, and Bannister did run. Two other runners, Brasher and Chataway, provided pacing while completing the race. Both went on to establish their own track careers. The race[1] was broadcast live by BBC Radio and commented on by Harold Abrahams, of Chariots of Fire fame.

Roger Bannister Now

Roger Bannister Then

Roger Bannister set a goal of running a mile under four minutes.  He believed he could do it….even though no one had ever accomplished it before.  Because he convinced himself, and was faithful in his training, he achieved his goal.  After he did it, many others followed because it was all of the sudden realized to be possible!

This guy has always amazed me……

I grew up watching him defy the odds.

I’ll tell ya folks, we better either
get busy living or get busy dieing….because
there is no in between.

And yes, there is a choice….everyday.

I have decided to be a victor. And I am
mighty thankful to be associated with you.

People would not hire him as a head coach
because they said that he is not an X’s and O’s guy.

Give him a couple of years, and I GUARANTEE you —

Without A Doubt – He will have them in the Super Bowl.

End of Story.

For him, there is no other alternative.

That inspires me.

Mike Singletary addresses the San Francisco 49ers Football Team after a victory over the Washington Redskins Football Team. This is an extremely focused and driven individual. He was not supposed to be big enough to play Professional Football but he is now a Hall of Famer and one of the greatest middle linebackers ever to play for my Chicago Bears. Thank you Mike Singletary for setting the pace for the rest of us and thank you for giving the glory to God!

In this powerful video, Randy Pausch says, “You don’t control the hand you are dealt, but you do control how you play the hand.” Another good quote is “Experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want.”

There are many more powerful nuggets in this video…..

Great video here by Todd Falcone on the subject of sticking it out and finishing what you started.

Very good, practical motivation for your network marketing / mlm home based business opportunity.

I love it!

Thanks Todd Falcone!
