PLANT AND CULTIVATE WISELY

"A man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind." - James Allen

CHANGE

"The pain of every change is forgotten when the benefits of that change are realized." - Tom Hopkins

SELL YOURSELF

Have you ever thought about how you spend your life selling? If you've never thought about this let me tell you now that you spend your life selling. Some of us sell things, some ideas, but all of us must sell ourselves if we want to achieve our goals and succeed in life. Don't you wish there was a book on how to master the art of selling so that you could apply principles to help you succeed at selling yourself? Well guess what?! Tom Hopkins wrote a book called How to Master the Art of Selling. It is a great book, and one that's been on my recommended reading list for years. I like how Hopkins helps put selling into perspective for people who are not professional salespeople. Apply the principles in his book to your life and profession and you will gain greater confidence and you will make more 'sales'. I highly recommend that you check it out.

ELIMINATE FEAR THROUGH HARD WORK AND PREPARATION

"I’ve learned that possibly the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face." - Pete Carroll

THE GREATEST SALESMAN IN THE WORLD

11 years ago I stumbled upon The Greatest Salesman in the World, by Og Mandino. It was recommended to me by a rather mysterious and wealthy man. It was inexpensive, so I gave it a shot. In all honesty, it seemed silly at first. By the time I reached the Ten Scrolls, however, I was thinking differently. I read the book quickly, maybe in an hour. Then I read it again over the course of many months, the way it says to read it, and that's when it began to change me. Although I have yet to find monetary wealth, I have found WEALTH due in large part to this book's presence in my life. I highly recommend it.

Here is an affiliate link to it on Amazon.com if you're interested in picking up a copy for yourself:
