Tough Day Mindset

Tough day? This will help.

"The best lessons are usually learned from failure. You musn't beat yourself up if you fail - just pick yourself up, learn as much as you can from the experience and get on with the next challenge...The brave may not live forever, but the cautious never live at all." - Richard Branson

Things have been very busy for me at Turbulence Training and Early to Rise as we get ready to launch a new home workout program and our ETR $100,000 Transformation Contest. 2013 is going to be crazy, but we always stumble along the way. Nothing is perfect. That's why I look at failure as a good thing.

"There are no failures - just experiences and your reactions to them." - Tom Krause

Tough times also bring out character. Our reactions, our expectations, and our mindset determine our success:

"Sow a thought and you reap an action; sow an act and you reap a habit; sow a habit and you reap a character; sow a character and you reap a destiny." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

And always stay strong.

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” – Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Stay positive.

“You get what you expect, not what you want. Fill your life with positive expectations. Demand the best. Attitude and desire contribute to 90% of your achievement.” – Kekich Credo #86

Keep pushing. And make the right choices.

"Most people think – ‘Well - this action won't hurt me, will it?’ I get my clients to think, ‘Will this help me or not? Is this a positive step or not?’ Once you get that -- you're a hit.” – Alwyn Cosgrove

And don't wait for January 1st to change your life...December 5th is just as good a day as any to finally go after what you want in life.

PS - Struggling with networking? Here's my harsh truth about it...

...and wisdom from my friend Steve:

- http://www.earlytorise.com/better-than-networking/

Dedicate your career to making people "richer, happier, and sexier" and to making everyone you know 10X's more successful than you are, and you'll never have to worry about your financial independence.

“Many of us are fortunate to be blessed with the ability to succeed – not for our sole benefit, but so we may apply the result of our success to assist others.” – Frank McKinney

"You cannot brighten another's path without lighting your own." - Frank McKinney ..... go forth and help people and add value to the world.
