Remember, it's more mentally tiring to think about what has to be done, and all the things that might go wrong, than it is to physically do the job.
To attract more money, you must be attractive, in the sense that people will want and prefer your products or service over those of your competitior.
If you love your work, if you enjoy it, you're already a success.
There are essentially two things that will make you wise -- the books you read and the people you meet.
Some people fold after making one timid request. They quit too soon. Keep asking until you find the answers. In sales there are usually four or five "no's" before you get a "yes."
The problem is the average person isnt tuned in to lifelong learning, or going to seminars and so forth. If the information is not on television, and its not in the movies they watch, and its not in the few books that they buy, they dont get it.
When you think you can't, revisit a previous triumph.
Repeating an affirmation several times a day keeps you focused on your goal, strengthens your motivation, and programs your subconscious by sending an order to your crew to do whatever it takes to make that goal happen.
Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.
People who ask confidently get more than those who are hesitant and uncertain. When you've figured out what you want to ask for, do it with certainty, boldness and confidence.
Don't worry about failures, worry about the chances you miss when you don't even try.
I worked from 10 p.m. until 1 a.m. every night for a year to write the first 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' book.
When we saw American Magazine, we knew we wanted to work with Mignonne to launch Chicken Soup for the Soul magazine. Our fans have been asking for Chicken Soup for the Soul magazine, and now it's here.
There have been many people whom I have admired, emulated and even modeled parts of my life after. I study how they do things, and then I go through a period of 'trying on' those same thinking patterns and behaviors. After awhile, what is not essentially me falls away while the useful parts remain.
