Focus on What’s Important

Motivational Power Quote

Focus on What’s Important

“Where you are headed is more important the how fast your going.

Rather than always focusing on what’s urgent,

learn to focus on what is really important.”

              Dr. Stephen Covey, author, consultant, speaker               

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

Focus on what’s important

The direction of your success journey is far more important than the pace of your journey. If you’re moving in the wrong direction and you’re doing it fast what’s the point.

Focusing on what’s important are those things that will move you closer to your goals. Make the best use of your time and create forward momentum in the right direction.

One of the most important factors on your success journey is to focus on the end results and to create the momentum to keep moving in that direction.

Avoid the distraction; make the best use of your time and focus on what’s important and you will create the forward momentum to achieve your goals.

Henry Ford Paved The Way

Motivational Power Quote

Henry Ford Paved The Way

“It is better to sell a large number of cars at a reasonably

small margin than to sell fewer at a large margin of profit . . .

It enables a large number of people to buy and enjoy (the car)

and give a large number to men employment at a good wage.

Those are two aims I have in life.”

           Henry Ford, auto executive                

As I see it . . . . . . .

Henry Ford paved the way

Henry Ford was an innovator and created the first affordable automobile in American, a car the people could afford to own.

But he also did something else that was very interesting that has slipped into the pages of history.

He felt that the work force in his automobile plant should be able to afford to own the cars they where building.

At the time the wages for an auto worker would not be enough for them to own a car.

Henry Ford changed the standards for the wages for the auto workers and the work force at Ford became the highest paid in the industry.

Henry ford paved the way for Americans to afford to own a Ford and the Ford work force to own a car that they were building. Henry Ford was a good businessman and the outcome was a win – win situation for car buyers, his work force and his business.

genuinely excited about his work.

Make the Decision to Fill Your Cup

It is time to walk the talk.

Be a Dreamer and Work at Your Dreams

Motivational Power Quote

Be a Dreamer and Work at Your Dreams

“There are those who work all day.

Those who dream all day.

And those who spend an hour dreaming before

setting to work to fulfill those dreams.

Go into the third category because there’s

virtually no competition.”

        Steven J. Ross 1927 – 1992, Created Time Warner              

As I see it . . . . . . .

Be a dreamer and work at your dreams

To dream and not to work at achieving your dreams becomes a wish that slowly slips away without ever becoming your reality..

Be a dreamer who works at their dreams until become a mission to achieve the desired outcome.

Dream your dreams and create a plan to move your dream into a reality.

Some dreams have to be pushed other dreams will have be pulled all dreams take work to move them from a dream to a successful outcome.

Make an effort everyday to move your dream closed to a reality and one day you will arrive at the destination of fulfilling them.

Be a dreamer and work at your dreams and your dreams will be yours.

Focus on What Really Matters

Motivational Power Quote

Focus on What Really Matters 

“Focus is not a business only thing.

Each person has only twenty-four hours per day,

and how we spend those hours shows

what’s important in our lives.

The question we must ask ourself is . . .

Are we focusing on what really matters.”

               Mac Anderson, founder of Simple Truth, Successories                

As I see it . . . . . . .

Focus on what really matters

It’s not until we know what really matters to us, can we really begin to focus our time on what’s important.

When we are focusing our time on what really matters we are making better use of our time and see a higher rate return for our efforts.

Knowing what really matters is important in our career as well as in our personal endeavors.  

When we can focus our energies on what matters we are finding the highest and best use for our time and we become far more productive in our effort and in our results.

Focus on what really matters . . . . and you’re focusing on the most important things in your life.

Take the Time to Watch a Cloud Float Across The Sky

Motivational Power Quote

Take the Time to Watch a Cloud Float Across The Sky

“Rent is not idleness, and to be sometimes in the grass of a

summer day listening to the mummer of the water or

watching the clouds float across the sky

is hardy a waste of time .”

   Sir John Lubbock 1834 -1913 English Banker and Politician        

As I see it . . . . . . .

Take the time to watch a cloud float across the sky

We live in a hectic world where we are jugging our personal lives with our business. We seem to run out of time and the pressure to get things done is always there.

We try to live our life by a schedule and things are always popping to throw us off schedule. We always seems to be going from emergency to another.

Our days start at the break of day with our e-mail and confirming our daily schedule and activities. We miss lunch and get some fast food.

We get home late from work and were back on the computer and when we look that the clock it’s midnight.

Take the time to watch a cloud float across the sky. Spend some quality time with the people that you care about. Go to lunch with a friend. Make the time to do some of things that you enjoy doing.

If you miss the cloud floating across the sky you’re missing the best part of your life. Take the time to watch a cloud float across the sky and your life will never be the same.
