Successful People Attract Money

Motivational Power Quote


Successful People Attract Money

“Successful people make money.
It’s not that people who make
money become successful,
but that successful people attract money.
They bring success to what they do.”
Wayne Dyer, author



As I see it. . . . . . . .


Successful people attract money


Successful people have written goals and a plan to succeed. They are committed to their success and have a goal to make progress everyday to move them closer to their goals.


A successful person will roll up their selves and work hard to achieve success. They will get their hand dirty to get the job done.


The person that stays focused on their goals and works through their obstacle will achieve success and attract money as a result of their efforts.

Teamwork

Motivational Power Quote


Teamwork

“Most teams aren’t team at all
but merely collections of
individual relationships with the boss.
Each individual vying with
each other for power,
prestige and position.”
Douglas Murray McGregor, Management Professor at MIT Sloan School of Management


As I see it. . . . . . . .


Teamwork


Management’s role is to bring a collection of individuals together to accomplish a common goal. The key is to focus on the task at hand not the individual agendas.


The success of the team is in creating an environment where the team members come together and work together to achieve the common goal.


The manager that can bring a team together creates a successful team and a successful outcome. Also as a result of their success the team members grow.

Nurture Your Dreams Until They Become a Reality

Motivational Power Quote

Nurture Your Dreams Until They Become a Reality

“We grow great by dreams.
All big men are dreamers.
They see things in a soft haze of a spring day
or in the red fire of a long winter’s evening.
Some of us let these dreams die,
but others nourish and protect them;
nurse them through the bad days till
they bring them to the sunshine and light,
which comes always to those who sincerely hope
that their dreams will come true.”
Woodrow T. Wilson, 28th President of the United States


As I see it. . . . . . . .


Nurture your dreams until they become a reality


The person with a dream has a vision for their future and a path to follow.


What your do with your dreams becomes your choice. You nurture your dreams until they become a reality or you can let your dreams fade away.

The only person that can make your dreams come true is you.

Transform Your Thoughts in Success

Motivational Power Quote


Transform Your Thoughts in Success

“Man alone, has the power transform
his thoughts into physical reality;
man alone, can dream and
make his dreams come true.”
Napoleon Hill, author


As I see it. . . . . . . .


Transform your thoughts in success


Our dreams start as a spark of our thoughts, what we do with that spark will make all the differences if we turn the dream into a success story or a forgotten memory.


A dream will remain just that a dream until we take the actions to turn our dreams into a vision of our future. When we take positive actions on our dreams to make them call true anything becomes possible as result of our actions.


When there is no action taken to turn a dream into a reality the dream just fares away.


Our actions have the power to turn a dream into success story when we are willing to apply the efforts to make our dreams come true.

Positive Self Talk

Motivational Power Quote

Positive Self Talk

“If you had a friend who talked to you
like you talked to yourself,
would you continue
to hang around with that person.”
Rob Bremer, speaker

When you talk to yourself, talk to yourself the same way that you would talk to someone that you care about.
