CO-OPERATE, COMPETE & TURN DESIRE INTO WEALTH

I reside in a capitalistic country wherein competition is the norm--not an exception. So if one wants wealth, usually one has to compete. If one has superior talent, training, experience, one may accumulate riches in large amounts; those not so fortunate may accumulate smaller amounts.

The starting point of all achievement is desire; that is why it is so important to want what you need.

NINE WAYS TO TURN DESIRES INTO MONEY:

1. Determine the potential rewards (especially net profit) of the business, profession, or enterprise of your most favorable interest.

2. Determine exactly what you need to get started, survive, and thrive in that business, profession, or enterprise.

3. Accumulate the necessary knowledge and build the skills you need.

4. Acquire the necessary resources for achievement.

5. Create a sound plan of detailed action with starting and ending times for accomplishments of goals, objectives, and activities.

6. Persistently and consistently follow your PLAN OF ACTION.

7. RECORD activities (including time spent on each task and results).

8. EVALUATE results.

9. IMPROVE wherever and whenever possible.

Excerpts from "The Little Things" by Andy Andrews

Have you ever wondered why we spend so much time and energy thinking about the big challenges in our lives
when all the evidence proves it's the little things that change everything?

We can succeed by actually going against the modern adage, "don't sweat the small stuff."
It is in concentrating on the smaller things that we add value and margin.

If you search, you might find that one thing, that one tiny thing, that when understood and harnessed,
allows us to create a life of extraordinary purpose and powerful results.

It's less about drive and will power than it is about understanding certain principles and why they work.

A simple adjustment in perspective can produce personal and career results far beyond what most people ever imagine.

Perspective is more valuable than the answer itself because perspective can dramatically change the results
without changing any of the facts.

Perspective is how we decide to see a thing.
Blindness is the decision not to see it at all.
Choosing a negative perspective is limiting,
but choosing blindness is a tragedy.

What people believe will determine their behavior whether or not what they believe is true.

There are a lot of ideas and opportunities out there waiting for you to take advantage of them,
but you can't take advantage of them even if you show up if you are unprepared.

With an important undertaking be sure you have the details covered.
If you don't take the time to do it right, you may not have the opportunity to do it at all.

You can always choose how you act, despite how you feel.

Everything you do matters and everything you don't do may matter just as much.
