Don't underestimate your sales skills by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that we succeed on different levels.

Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is important to you and your family.

Don't let time slip through your fingers procrastinating your next move. By acting on your goals each and every day, you will be productive throughout your career.

Don't give up when you still have something to offer. Nothing is really over until you stop trying. Remember, you are merely doing what others refuse to do. The question will never be can you do this job? You are already doing the job! The question is; will you do this job everyday?

Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we acquire the discipline to continue on. The toughest thing about being a success; is you have to keep doing the things that make you successful everyday!

Don't dismiss your goals; to be without goals is to be without a plan; to be without a plan is to become an amateur and go back to “winging it!” “Professionals, prepare, plan and execute…amateur’s wing it!”

The two greatest pains in life are “The pain of discipline; and the pain of regret!” The first weighs ounces, the second weighs tons! Pay the price now and you’ll reach all your dreams and never have to bear a heavy load later!

Remember the story about Randy Leamer who appeared on Oprah. He had to lose an amazing amount of weight in a very short time in order to be a suitable donor for his daughter’s life saving kidney operation. He lost the weight in record time. And when asked by Oprah how in the world he was able to do what the doctor’s said was impossible, his answer was: “When your ‘WHY’ gets bigger, you’ll get better!”

Stay focused; keep your head in the game! Someone else’s opinion of you never has to become your reality! Winners never quit; and quitters never win!
