Over the past 25 years, I've had the privilege and pleasure of serving small businesses. At the same time, I’ve been fortunate in developing strong friendships, while learning a great deal from my business partners. For the majority, there is one common thread that has lead them to success. Perseverance and a good healthy attitude. A healthy attitude projects confidence and a certain sureness about oneself. Naturally we are attracted to such individuals, and in business, nothing could be more important. Some think attitude has nothing to do with what happens to us. They allow circumstances to shape their attitude and in turn their world, rather than the other way around. Attitude is a “state of mind” It’s been written, that we become what we think about. Better said, thinking positive thoughts, will lead to positive outcomes. Conversely, thinking negative thoughts can only lead to failure. Hundreds of books have published on subject of attitude and success. An authority that I hold high on the rung, far reaching above the rest, “The Father of Success”, Napoleon Hill. In his most famous publishing, "Think and Grow Rich, Hill performed countless studies on the habits of well recognized successful people. Henry Ford, the founder of the first manufactured car has become one of the first millionaires our country has ever produced. Thomas A. Edison, arguably the best known inventor of modern times. John Wannamaker, one of the most successful retailers at the turn of the 20th century, Andrew Carnegie, F.W. Woolworth and many other well recognized names in the world of business. Through the power of thought, Napoleon Hills’ teachings explains the origins of success and cuts through the very essence of how these individuals attained it. Though Napoleon Hill's research was completed in the early part of the 20th century, his work has been so powerful, so compelling, that till this very day, in the areas of personal development, his books and audio features top the best sellers list. In the early 50's and 60's other great preachers on the word of success came from the likes of Earl Nightingale, who was directly affected by Hill's research and was further inspired to produce his own philosophical approach on the subject. Best known for his work in “The Strangest Secret, one of the greatest self-help books ever recorded and in "Lead The Field", Nightingale takes you on a journey toward the riches we seek while, bringing clarity and purpose into our lives. If you have desires and want to achieve greatness, take hold of Napoleon Hill and Earl Nightingale. Both authors had a profound impact on my life and yours too, if you so desire. Already a success story? Great! You’ll find their work interesting and inspiring. It’s as simple as downloading their audio books right onto your phone. “You are what you think about”…Earl Nightingale |
