You manage
things; you lead people. – Admiral Grace Murray Hopper
What Drives Me To Innovate For those of us who are entrepreneurs we know we are simply not normal –we are wired totally different than most. We poke fun at the establishment, we enjoy disrupting traditional industries, and we like to cause commotion.

Colin Powell on Leadership
Great leaders are almost
always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate and doubt to
offer a solution everybody can understand.

EVERY PERSON IS BETTER THAN YOU IN SOME WAY
If you ever see me walking
along the sidewalks of downtown or line at Starbucks and you see me with
someone. Know that that person you see me with is better than me at something,
or a lot of things
I’ve learned that people
have rich gifts to give this world, whether they are homeless and destitute or
a thriving CEO. Each person brings color and richness to this world in some
remarkable ways.
I’ve been very fortunate
to surround myself with people who have enriched my life, motivated me and made
me stronger. So the next time you see me with someone, know that they enrich this
world and make it a more colorful place for all of us.

The Power of your Thoughts
The Trick of
Autosuggestion:
Autosuggestion is a
tactic which I use every day to implant ideas into my subconscious mind.
Whatever thoughts I put into my mind, whether they are positive or negative
voluntarily reaches my subconscious mind and influences the subconscious with
these thoughts a skillfully plant and water.
”The mind is built
so that we have absolute total control over the material which reaches the
subconscious mind”
However that is not to
say we always exercise control over what reaches our subconscious mind, most of
the time most people do not exercise control; this is why there is so much
poverty in the world.
I have an exercise I
follow each day, each morning when I awake I read myself my vision statement;
it is a written statement of my desire for money. But, the reading of the words
of my vision statement are really of no consequence, the most important factor
in reading the vision statement is that
You
have to emotionalize and add feeling and color into the words.
Your subconscious mind
recognizes and acts only upon thoughts which you have been injected with pure
emotion. This is the most important exercise in the quest for riches, to the
same degree this is the main reason the majority of people who try to apply the
principle of autosuggestion get no desirable results. Simple plain words do not
influence the mind, you most color them and add emotion into them, you cannot
just say the words, and you most feel them.
Your ability to see
results using autosuggestion will depend greatly on your ability to concentrate
on the given desire.You must be able to concentrate until the desire you have
converts to a white hot burning obsession; a want or a wish won’t suffice.
There are a few
strategies you can use to effectively increase your concentration. One of them
is to fixate your mind on the amount of money you desire to acquire, close your
eyes until you can actually see the physical appearance of the money to the
extent that you can actually feel it in your hands, you can smell it and that
you can look at the bank statement in your mind and see the balance which you
desire.
Here is the most
significant fact – the subconscious mind takes any orders given it in a spirit
of absolute faith, and acts upon those orders, although the orders often have
to be resented over and over again, through repetition, before they are
interpreted by the subconscious mind.
Don’t think of the
money you desire as only a want, rather, demand the money
as if you must have it, that this money is already waiting
your claim and that your subconscious mind must hand it over to you. Once you
hand over the demand for the money you desire your mind will start to develop a
plan for you to acquire the money you desire.
It is at this time
when your mind will do the miraculous work. Be on the alert for a plan which
you mind will deliver to you. When the plan appears in your subconscious, it
will typically appear as a “flash” into your mind in the form of an
“inspiration”
Be on the lookout for
the “flash” of inspiration, when it comes, don’t delay, act upon it. The
difference between you and someone else is that most “flashes of inspiration”
are stillborn; they die upon birth, however for you, you must nurse it and give
it life as soon as it comes to you. ~ Ted Stearns

TAKE A RISK
If you take risks, you will fail it is as simple as that
No great thing has ever been accomplished in a comfort zone, Chuck Yeager didn't break the sound barrier while in the comfort zone, Alexander the Great didn't conquer the known world in his comfort zone, and Democracy; giving everyone the right to participate in how they are governed could never have won the battle in her comfort zone.
Courage ~ No great accomplishment was every win without it.
Throughout history, many lives were lost to achieve great successes; however, more than likely no lives will be lost for you to accomplish your great successes.
Be what makes an entrepreneur so great is that we don't view failure is final defeat. We accept it as being one step closer to success.
Take risks or you will live a life of regret.

"If you judge people, you have no time
to love them" ~ Mother Teresa
This is a fact that I learned too late in
life. Forming an opinion of people before I got to know them didn't define them
but it defined me.
Life is more enjoyable when you allow
others to enrich it.
