Of all the things that can have an effect on your future, I
believe personal growth is the greatest. We can talk about
sales growth, profit growth, asset growth, but all of this
probably will not happen without personal growth. It's really
the open door to it all. In fact I'd like to have you
memorize a most important phrase. Here it is, "The major key
to your better future is YOU."
Let me repeat that. "The major key to your better future is
YOU." Put that someplace you can see it everyday, in the
bathroom, in the kitchen, at the office, anywhere where you
can see it everyday. The major key to your better future is
YOU. Try to remember that every day you live and think about
it. The major key is YOU.
Now, there are many things that will help your better future.
If you belong to a strong, dynamic, progressive company, that
would help. If the company has good products, good services
that you are proud of, that would certainly help. If there
were good sales aids, that would help, good training would
certainly help. If there is strong leadership, that will
certainly help. All of these things will help, and of course,
if it doesn't storm, that will help. If your car doesn't
break down, that will help. If the kids don't get sick, that
will help. If the neighbors stay half way civil, that will
help. If your relatives don't bug you, that will help. If it
isn't too cold, if it isn't too hot, all those things will
help your better future. And if prices don't go much higher
and if taxes don't get much heavier, that will help. And if
the economy stays stable, those things will all help. We
could go on and on with the list; but remember this, the list
of things that I've just covered and many more - all put
together - play a minor role in your better future.
The major key to your better future is you. Lock your mind
onto that. This is a super important point to remember. The
major key is you. A friend of mine has always answered when
asked, "How do you develop an above average income?" He
says, "Simple. Become an above average person. Work on you."
My friend says, "Develop an above average handshake." He
says, "A lot of people want to be successful, and they don't
even work on their handshake. As easy as that would be to
start, they let it slide. They don't understand." My friend
says, "Develop an above average smile. Develop an above
average excitement. Develop an above average dedication.
Develop an above average interest in other people." He says,
"To have more, become more." Remember; work harder on
yourself than you do on your job. For a long time in my life,
I didn't have this figured out.
Strangely enough, with two different people in the same
company one may earn an extra $100 a month, and the other may
earn a $1,000. What could possibly be the difference? If the
products were the same, if the training was the same, if they
both had the same literature, the same tools. If they both
had the same teacher, the same compensation plan, if they
both attended the same meetings, why would one person earn
the $100 per month and the other person earn the $1000?
Remember here is the difference...the difference is personal,
inside, not outside, inside.
You see the real difference is inside you. In fact, the
difference IS you. Someone once said, "The magic is not in
the products. The magic is not in the literature. The magic
is not in the film. There isn't a magic meeting, but the
magic that makes things better is inside you, and personal
growth makes this magic work for you.
The magic is in believing. The magic is in daring. The magic
is in trying. The real magic is in persevering. The magic is
in accepting. It's in working. The magic is in thinking.
There is magic in a handshake. There is magic in a smile.
There is magic in excitement and determination. There is real
magic in compassion and caring and sharing. There is unusual
magic in strong feeling and you see, all that comes from
inside, not outside. So, the difference is inside you. The
real difference is you. You are the major key to your better
future.
To Your Success,
