Personal Growth
A positive belief in your future ensures it.
As I said last week, your imagination controls your future.
If you want a highly successful future, nourish your imagination.
This week, we will discuss the power your “belief system” has over your life—and how you can move your hopes and dreams out of your heart and head… and into your life.
Determination, tenacity and commitment will get you where you want to go.
Last week, we talked about ACHIEVEMENT… and specifically what you must do to move your hopes and dreams off the page and into your life.
This week, we will discuss your COMMITMENT to your dreams… having the POWER (we call The Power of TQ) to break free of indifference, hesitancy and procrastination.
Are You Connecting the TQ Dots or Getting Lost in the Swamp?
One of the things that probably attracted you to Think TQ is that it is so measurable, logical and sequential. It is a road map to success. Just connect the dots and you’ll get there. Pretty easy, right?
Yet despite that, a lot of TQ members still have a problem getting started…
Unleash Your Leadership Potential
So, you’re serious about leadership. You want to inspire others…to achieve goals no one ever could going it alone…to make a difference–not just in your own life, but in the much larger realms of family, community, profession or industry, or even the world!
Those are high ambitions. As you’ve discovered through your TQ experience, success in any domain doesn’t just happen. It’s a process that requires knowledge, discipline, practice, patience, persistence, and developed skills.
So why would you suppose that the leadership is any different? Like anything else, except in the rarest of circumstances, leaders aren’t born–they’re made! And that means you CAN become the leader and powerful influence in the world you desire to be!
Ignite Your Imagination To Make it Your Best Year Ever!
“At first, dreams seem impossible, then improbable, and eventually inevitable.” – Christopher Reeve Here it is a brand new year with 12 beautiful months before us to make of them and ourselves what we will. It is bright, clean, and fresh. This is the very moment when we require our best imaginative powers to dream and then […]
Career Reality: 2015
“The biggest mistake that you can make is to believe that you are working for somebody else. Job security is gone. The driving force of a career must come from the individual. Remember: Jobs are owned by the company, you own your career!” ~ Earl Nightingale You are the CEO of your own career… You […]
Why More is Better than Enough
A Personal Story I Would Like to Share With You… As many of you have heard by listening to our various TQ TeleSeminars, I did not grow up rich or poor. My mom was a nurse working 2 jobs, and my dad was a factory worker. Together, they brought in ENOUGH money to live a […]
Courage On Demand
When we speak of courage, it is almost always in context with major, life changing/ending events such as impulsively walking into a burning building to rescue a frightened child, or jumping into a raging river to save the life of a complete stranger.
Clearly, these are acts of heroism and courage. They are what I like to call “Situational Courage.”
The Thin Line Between Success and Failure
There is a huge difference between people who succeed, and those who don’t.
Successful people THINK differently. Successful people ACT differently.
Expanding Your Vision…
Do You Have 20:20 Vision?
When you dial up the Mission, Goals, Plans and Prioritize Colors on your Learn & Burn: Success Essentials you are confronted with the need for crystal-clear vision.
Vision of the future you want to create.
A Different Take on The Future…
Over the years, we have found that there are two distinct kinds of people: 1. People who take hold, extend their reach… and grab on to the future with both hands — like it is the ride of their life. 2. People who are quite afraid of the future and just hope they can make it through the trials and tribulations to the end.
The Shadow of Fear
Living in the shadow of your fears robs you of your future… reduces your true potential… and causes you to live in the shadow of regrets and recrimination. The good news is, fear is both natural and controllable.
The Hyper-Competitive Economy
All you have to do is look around for 10 seconds to see that the world has become an increasingly hyper-competitive environment. Everybody is looking for an edge in the quest to get ahead.
Many people think that the only competition worth recognizing is the competition that comes from within. We must compete against ourselves and raise the bar on our personal best — making today better than yesterday… and tomorrow better than today!
You Serve…
My dear friend, Ryan Sarti, wrote and produced this wonderful music video as a tribute to all who serve.
Remember, all gave some… some gave all… and they deserve to be remembered with respect and honor.
Many of us will enjoy this long weekend with our friends and families. Many will place flowers on the graves of those who, even beyond the clutches of death, are still important to us.
Do You Have The Guts…
So often when we look at our lives, we filter it through the lens of someone else’s life.
When we look, we can’t really see below the surface, since we don’t have X-Ray Vision. So what we see is their shape… their smiles… their homes… their cars… their toys… and infer some degree of happiness on them. They LOOK happy, so they must BE happy.
Time. Money. Love.
So often we try to do things in fits and starts.
We declare a Goal without ever giving ANY thought to how much time, money, passion, love, purpose, direction, emotional commitment, relationship commitments — and how all these variables will fit together to achieve the desired results:
When You Change The Way You Look…
Some people see life as a glass half full… a glass half empty… or a glass that has been shattered by living with failed hopes and dreams… for far too long. At virtually every level, VISION requires you to actually SEE. Otherwise, regardless of what you say, you are simply BLIND to the world around you.
Breathing Life into Your Someday Dreams
From the time I can remember, maybe around 4-5, my life revolved around making dreams come true.
My dad and I read the Tom Swift and Horatio Alger books together. Hard work resulting in wealth — well beyond the dreams of a little boy living on the east side of Fremont Ohio — was the message.
Going on grand adventures, in far off lands was the hope envisioned.
I have always felt emotionally connected to the future. To all those Someday’s yet to be lived.
Superhero Ends Retirement…
Superhero Ends Retirement to Get Americans Off Their Butts and But… But… Buts to get Fit Smart Fast! We have a serious problem, and it’s not going away by itself. The economy is relentless. Great jobs are at risk. Career dissatisfaction is at an all time high — job security is at an all time […]
Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing.
Study—really study—Today’s Quote.
Now, read it again out loud and scream out the words in all CAPS… as I want you to make an emotional connection with this timeless observation.
Yes… SCREAM out the words AMBITION… WORK… NOT… WIN… WHY… METHODS… PRINCIPLES…TROUBLE.
