Do You Have A Strong Work Ethic?

Let’s take a moment to think about some of the greatest business owners of our time.

Bill Gates
 
John Chambers
 
Donald Trump
 
Oprah Winfrey
 
This prominent list could go on for quite some time.  What do these leaders have in
common?  They’ve all worked their tails off to obtain the successes they’ve accomplished. 
They’re all extremely driven.  Putting in long days and countless hours is a daily routine
for them.  They never stop.
 
There’s also another item that can’t be overlooked when discussing leaders and driven
inspirations.  They all have a “WHY”.
 
They all have something that motivates them to no end.  Something that keeps them
going.  Day after day.  It has nothing to do with the creation of wealth.
 
What keeps you going?  Is it your children and providing them with a better future?  

Are you passionate about your products and services?  Maybe you have grandchildren. 
Regardless of what makes you ‘tick’, you must have a strong reason ‘why’.  You’ll have
good days and bad ones.  It’s your ‘why’ that will give you the strength to pull through
those rough days.
 
Ultimately, the success of the wealthy (and yours too) boils down to 2 critical things:

1. They’re persistent and don’t give up.  Nothing stops them.  Whether it’s things
taking place in their personal life, financial woes, personal and financial loss, etc.  It
makes no difference.  They continue to persevere and bounce back like a yo yo.  Are
you persistent?  Do you easily give up and call it quits after a setback?
 
2. They understand the relevance of helping others. They thoroughly
comprehend “The Law Of Success”.  The more they give back and help others they
more they will receive in return.  It’s crazy how it works, but it’s the absolute truth. 
They know that their success, in large part, boils down to one simple question,
“How many other lives have they changed?”  Are you positively having an impact
on other people?  Do you reach and go out of your way to assist others in their
aspirations and dreams?
 
Ultimately, success is defined by how you responded to those 2 prior questions.  
Growing a business takes a tremendous amount of “doing”.  NOT, thinking about “doing”.  
 
How many others do you plan on helping others today, tomorrow and for the month? 
People truly need and desire to have your products and services.  Are you going to
reach out and help them find what you already have?  It makes no difference what
you’re marketing.  Juice, vitamins, internet security, etc… people need what you have.
 
It’s your job to find those people (or have them find you, which I’ll address in an
upcoming issue) and provide them with what they’re looking for.
 
In closing, I present you with a small “to do list”.  Although extremely simple, this is
critical to your success.  Doing these items will allow you to be more focused and have
a better grasp on your objectives:
 
1.  Create your reason “why”.  What keeps you motivated?  What drives you
to not stop and to never give up?
 
2.  Ask yourself, “How many people you’re going to help?”  For the day, week
and month.  Baby steps here.  It must be realistic.  Something you know without
doubt that you’re completely capable of accomplishing.  There’s nothing wrong with
starting out with extremely small numbers here.  The important thing is that you start. 
Today. Not tomorrow.  We all have reasons and excuses why we can’t or why we Won’t
do something.
 
If your “why” is strong enough you will prevail.  Get it done.  Make it happen.  Positively
influence the lives of those around you.
 
Traveling this journey with you…
