Winners never quit and quitters never win! What about you?

By
Education & Training with Bill Fields Learning Systems

All Star CoachingWinners never quit and quitters never win! No truer words have ever been spoken.

Too often I find people giving up right before they were about to experience success in their endeavors.

What about you? Do you refuse to quit and instead commit whatever resources are necessary to reach your goals?

Have you been following the four simple steps which lead to the habit of persistence?

These steps call for no great amount of intelligence, no particular amount of education, and but little time or effort.

The necessary steps are:

1. A definite purpose backed by a burning desire for its fulfillment.

2. A definite plan, expressed in continuous action.

3. A mind closed tightly against all negative and discouraging influences, including negative suggestions from relatives, friends, coworkers and acquaintances.

4. A friendly reliance with one or more persons who will encourage one to follow through with both plan and purpose. (AKA: Coach)

These four steps are essential for success in all walks of life, not just real estate.

These are the steps by which one may control one's economic destiny.

These are the steps that lead to freedom and independence of thought.

These are the steps that lead to riches, in small or great quantities.

These are the steps that lead to success, fame and recognition.

These are the steps that guarantee "lucky" breaks.

These are the steps that convert dreams into reality.

There is a magnificent reward for those that learn to take these four steps. It is the privilege of writing one's own ticket, and making life yield whatever is asked for.

I hope you are taking these four steps!

All Star Coaching thought for today: A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step in the right direction!

Have a productive day.

BF

Thanks Bill!  I am actually quite motivated, but it is great to get the morning KICK to remind you of where you want to be.

Hi Bill,

Seems like I heard this as a kid whenever I wanted to quit a sports team!

Your attitude determines your altitude Zig Ziglar used to say. Your post reminds me of that. We choose every day what kind of day we're going to have and how we respond.

Kevin, you're right it is very Zig Ziglarish! My favorite Zig Ziglar is "Give yourself a check-up from the neck up! Thanks for your feedback.
