Success Is Achieved With Discipline

Motivational Power Quote

Success Is Achieved With Discipline

“I have never known a really successful man who deep down

in his heart did not understand the grind, the discipline it

takes to win.”

Vince Lombardi 1913 - 1970, American Football Coach

As I see it . . . . . . .

Success is achieved with discipline

When you see a team standing in the winner’s circle . . . . the fans applaud their teams efforts and relish the thoughts of their team being recognized as a champion.

What may not be so apparent is the grind that the team had to go through to earn the title of champion.

Winning takes discipline . . . . to prepare for the season and to prepare themselves to be a winners.

There are many battles that the team and players go through during the season. They have to push through the pain of an injury to stay in the game and to continue to play at a peak level. They have to come back after a big lost and get their heads into the next game.   

Winning is not a one game thing . . . . it’s the grind that keeps you competitive and it’s the discipline that keeps you in the game.

Success is achieves with discipline . . . . When your willing to go through the grind to get to the tops and have the discipline to keep your head in the game the winners circle will be there for you to step into.

Character Matters

Motivational Power Quote

Character Matters

“Character matters; leadership descends from character.”

Rush Limbaugh, Author, Radio Talk Show Host

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

Character matters

John F. Kennedy, Ronald Regan, Steve Jobs, and Bill Gates have character.

Having character is not about being liked . . . . character is about doing the right thing because it’s the right thing to do. Character is also about being consistent in your actions . . . . not in being popular.

People with character lead from the front . . . . and will make the tough decisions because they have to be made and their decision making is consistent . . . . and will not change with the direction of the wind.

Great leaders have it and it comes to the surface through their behavior. There are also leaders who try to fake it . . . . and it only a matter of time until they are found out for who they really are.

A person of character stands out in every walk of life or business endeavor. They have the ability to turn a bad situation into a success and to sustain a personal relationship or a business.

Character matters . . . . let it be your calling card.

Keep Asking

Motivational Power Quote

Keep Asking

“Some people fold after making one timid request. They quit too

soon. Keep asking until you find the answers. In sales there are

usually four or five no before you get a yes.”

Jack Canfield, Author, Success Coach

As I see it . . . . . . .

Keep asking

There is something to be said about persistence in asking . . . . when you want something you may have to ask for it multiple times to get it.

Most people will ask for something one time  . . . . if the answer is no they will normally give up and not ask for it again.  

Big Mistake . . . .

With sales as an example you may have to ask for the order 4 to 6 times to hear a yes . . . . if you don’t continue to continue to ask you have the decision at the first no.

With persistence and in asking good questions . . . . you give the person the choice to say yes and it will very likely take multiple opportunities to get to yes.

Here’s a key . . . . the first few no’s are just a reflective response for most people. In many cases they are preoccupied or just trying to blow you off without thinking about what your offering.

Keep digging and you will find out the person’s real motivation . . . . and keep asking. The person with the most persistence will make the sale.

Goals Create A Sense of Purpose

Motivational Power Quote

Goals Create A Sense of Purpose

“Even if I don’t reach all my goals, I’ve gone higher than

I would have if I hadn’t set any.”

Danielle Fotopoulos, American Soccer Player

   

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

Goals create a sense of purpose  

Your goals give you a sense of purpose for your life . . . . and targets to aim for.

With your written goals you set the expectations for your future achievement . . . . and what you want that future to become in advance of taking the actions to achieve your goals.

The size of our goals will determine the size of your target and how high you will soar.

There will be times even with the best of intentions and hard work you will . . . . miss your target. In almost all circumstances you will achieve far more with written goals then the person without goals.

When you miss a goal use it as a learning experience  . . . . and go after your goals with renewed energy.

You may want to adjust your approach but . . . . don’t adjust by lowering your standards.

Set big goals, aim high . . . . and pursue your goals create a sense of purpose and the passion to achieve them.

with amazing accuracy.”

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

Focus on your goals  

You can’t hit your target unless . . . . you aim for the bull’s-eye.

You won’t hit the goals  with accuracy . . . . until you clearly define your target . . . . and know what your aiming for.

Focus on the goals . . . . and keep your eyes on your target.

Prioritize your goals by putting them into their order of importance and by putting them into writing . . . . Focus you efforts on your key goals that will have the biggest impact on your career and that will move you in the direction of your goals . . . .
