The Cost of Success

 

The Cost of Success

“We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain off discipline

or the pain of regret. The difference is disciple

weights ounces while regret weighs tons.”

Jim Rohn 1930 - 2009, American Entrepreneur,

Author and Motivational Speaker

As I see it . . . . . . .

The cost of success

All long term success is paid for in advance . . . . Part of that payment is paid in the time that’s has to be invested to achieve success. There is also the investment in the effort to become successful.

What we see in successful people is the result of their efforts . . . . In most cases we never see the determination and commitment that has be paid in advance to create the success.

Here’s the key . . . . successful people have paid the price of disciple to achieve the status of earning their success.

In knowing and interviewing success people they look at their success journey as a mission to achieve their objectives. They will freely sharing their experiences and they look at their disciple as a major factor in their achievement.

The cost of success . . . . is paid for in advance and their disciple is part of the cost.

Commit and Release a Full Effort

Motivational Power Quote

Commit and Release a Full Effort

“Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.”

 Napoleon Hill, author, personal development expert             

As I see it . . . . . . .

Commit and release a full effort

To reach the heights of success we have to commit ourselves to our success journey and release a full effort to achieve our goals.

Less than a full commitment may get us started on our success journey but it will lack the staying power to succeed and to reach the finish line.

Make the commitment to fully engage your success journey and to stay the course through the ups and downs. Success will be achieved by those who are committed and willing to invest the time and efforts required to succeed.

When you’re fully committed you have the staying power and will not succumb to the obstacles and the setbacks you encounter along the way. You will remain focused on the big picture and achieving your objectives.      

Commit and release a full effort and when you do quitting will not be an option.

Let Go . . . .

Motivational Power Quote

Let Go . . . .   

“The moment you commit and quit holding back,

All sort of unforeseen incidents, meeting and

material assistance, will rise up to help you.

The simple act of commitment is powerful magnet for help.”

Napoleon Hill, author, self – help expert       

As I see it . . . . . . .

Let go . . . .

Let go . . . . and quit holding back.

Release your personal power and make the commitment to go after what you want and go after it with passion.

Holding back boxes in your potential and shuts down your opportunities. By holding back you build the self imposed walls of limitations.

Let go . . . . and quit holding back.

When you let go you open up a new world of possibilities and you will stretch your limits to new heights.

When you make a commitment you’re making a promise to yourself to let go of the status quo and to broaden your horizons

Let go . . . .  of what’s been holding you back and you will feel a weight being lifted off of your shoulders, old burdens being left behind and a new found freedom to move forward.

Success is Achieved Through Sustained Effort

Motivational Power Quote

Success is Achieved Through Sustained Effort

“Some men give up their designs when they have

almost reach the goal:

while others in the contrary obtain a victory by exerting,

at the last moment, more rigorous effort than ever before.”

Herodotus     

As I see it . . . . . . .

Success is achieved through sustained effort

Success doesn’t arrive on a silver platter nor is it handed to us. It you want succeed it’s achieved through a sustained effort and staying on purpose.

We earn our success one step at the time with a sustained effort moving in the direction of our goals and objective. It’s in making the upfront commitment to make the efforts in advance of the rewards. And to stay on track and keep going forward through the good times and through the rough spots that we encounter.

Success will be earned by those who stay committed and stay on purpose until they reach the desired outcome and achieve their goals.

Success is achieved through sustained effort, staying on purpose and hanging on a little longer. Success will be in your reach when you’re committed to achieve it and keep working to achieve it.

Learn to do it Better

Motivational Power Quote

Learn to do it Better   

“In sales there are going to be times when you

can’t make everyone happy.

Don’t expect to and you won’t be disappointed.

Just do your best for each client in each situation as it arises.

Then, learn from each situation how to

do it better the next time.”

Tom Hopkins, author, sales trainer      

As I see it . . . . . . .

Learn to it better

It’s so true that we can’t make all the people happy all the time and there will be times that someone can be disappointed with us or our services.

There is always room for improvement. When we find a way to improve ourselves we find a way to do things better.

Doing things better enhances our customer’s experience and becomes the gateway to future business and referrals and reduces gaps in our customer service.

We learn to do it better from our past experiences when we look at those experiences and make the commitment to do it better in the future.

Keep an open mind and you will find a way to learn to do it better and become more productive.

Correct Your Mistakes and Move On

Motivational Power Quote

Correct Your Mistakes and Move On

“A man who has committed a mistake

and doesn’t correct it

is committing another mistake.”

Confucius

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


Correct your mistake and move on


The person that makes a mistake and doesn’t correct it will find themselves repeating the mistake.


What you repeatedly do becomes a habit. Repeating a mistake becomes an ingrained habit and you will continue to repeat the mistake until you correct the mistake and replace it with a new habit.


Make a commitment to yourself to correct the mistake as soon as possible before the mistake becomes a habit.


Change the habit and you’ll correct the mistake.


When we make a mistake correct it and move on.

The Pathway to Success

Motivational Power Quote

The Pathway to Success

“Many a one has succeeded only because

he has failed after repeated effort.

If he had never met defeat,

he would never have known any great victory.”

Orison Sweet Marden, American Writer

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


The pathway to success


The person that succeeds has walked the pathway of failure. The success journey in a winding road and will zigzag through many conditions.


The success journey is not a toll free expressway.


As we pursue success we will experience obstacles and failure along the way and they become tolls that we will have to pay to achieve success.


Pay the toll and learn from the experience and make the commitment to use the lessons of the past for a brighter future to gain greater success.


The pathway to success is obstacles and failure is part our success journey and lessons we learn will become the lessons to achieve greater success.
