Ever feel like you are not happy with the way things are going and that you should just give up. Well then, you are in good   company . Thomas Edison, the great inventor often felt that way. "Discontent is the first necessity of   progress . Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I'll show you a failure."  If you are one that hustles and takes chances then you feel feel frustrated at times. During those times of trying and frustration, you need to keep a   positive attitude   and it will happen.  "Many of life's failures are people who do not realize how close to   success   they were, when they gave up." Why did Thomas Edison succeed? He succeeded because he did not give up.  When he invented the light bulb, he had three thousand tries that did not work. He did not look at it as failures but as stepping stones toward   success . Having a positive attitude is the key. Thomas Edison claims that he never made a discovery. He just to...

To be  successful  in  business , you have to be an innovator. Apple is the most successful  company  in history. It has a stock value of twice it's closest competitor. How did this company get to be so successful? For starters their products are years ahead of their competitors. They have a motto that they and only they will come up with the next better product. Apple has a rule that they will not make a product unless they can make a better product than their  competition .

Apple sells in retail stores, which is known for any other  company  to fail. You have to sell at discount prices to  succeed . Well Apple proved that retail can work.

But we had a rule in my neighborhood, when you got in a fight, it wasn’t whether or not you got knocked down. It’s what you do when you get back up. We all have failures. When you have a failure, you have two choices. You could let it get you down and admit defeat. Or you can see the failure as just a step toward success and realize that when you get back up, you will be even stronger. It's a question of attitude. A person with a positive attitude , will see everything as another step toward his goal and success. It doesn't matter if you have a few bumpy steps in the road, you know they all lead to your chest of gold. A poor attitude makes a person depressed. When your depressed, it's hard to be creative. It's hard to come up with that great idea that will make you a winner. For a writer, to write his best seller book, for a scientist to discover that great discovery, they need to first believe that could do it. If they believe that they could do the imp...

If you want to succeed in life, there is nothing as important as a positive attitude. The right attitude keeps you focused on your goal and prevents you from falling into a depression when things are not going well. Sometimes in business, things do not go according to plan and we end off operating at a loss. Operating at a loss can only happen so long, before you find that you owe many creditors. At some point it becomes difficult or impossible to operate your business unless you change your business plan and goals. This next part is the hardest. You must be perfectly honest with yourself. This is your business that you put in some much of your time and effort. Carefully analyze the potential of the business without your present debt. Can the business be profitable? Does it pay to try to save the business ? If the answer is No! Then face reality. Does the business have enough to work out deals with creditors and pay them off? If not, then bankruptcy may be your an...

Zig Zigler told a story once about a red headed Texan fella who interviewed once with a company for a sales job. This was a commission job. The company had perspective clients who were far more qualified for the position. The supervisor who interviewed him found the interview to be the most unique that he ever had. The red-headed Texan asked right at the start of the interview how much he would have to sell to make a commission of seventy-five thousand dollars that first year.  It seemed like a strange question, since he never made more than minimum wage. I told him, the amount he would have to do in sales and he said that he would do it, because for him to move to New York from Texas, he wanted no less than seventy-five thousand dollars. He seemed so sure of himself and that it was so do-able that the company hired him, but they did not have much hope for him. The young Texan had such a positive attitude that he had the interviewer actually convinced that the sales would happen...

Imagine what heaven would be like. In heaven everyone gets along. Everyone is the best at what they love doing. The business people are the best in their fields. The doctors are most skilled that ever lived. Engineers  are the best educated. Teachers and educated have the ability to teach anything and anyone. And the politicians are actually honest. Now, in heaven, money does not have any value. All the best from all over the world get together and they do not want any money. Not only do they not want money. They work for free and they donate money to their cause. Only in heaven, do all these top professional have no ego and they work together with humility and for the cause of giving and kindness. This heaven that we spoke about is what 'Shared Value Initiative' is all about. To solve some of society worst disasters. When it seems that there are no solutions. Only by the very best from many organizations and professional affiliations working together could some of the w...
