LEVERAGE.
The man who comes up with a means for doing or producing almost anything better, faster or more economically has his future and his fortune at his fingertips.
"
In times of rapid change, experience could be your worst enemy.
"
The individual who wants to reach the top in business must appreciate the might of the force of habit and must understand that practices are what create habits. He must be quick to break those habits that can break him and hasten to adopt those practices that will become the habits that help him achieve the success he desires.
"
To succeed in business, to reach the top, an individual must know all it is possible to know about that business.

Lets learn about Assets and Liabilities

Good evening my family and friends.

I know it's the wonderful day after Thanksgiving and everyone is looking to get that "Great Deal" out there. Those already marked up prices that have miraculously decreased in price for one day. WOW. That's wonderful as long as you're investing into yourself. Do you feel that you should be able to purchase something that you can make (positive cash flow) residual income from? Well these items are what we call Assets.

Assets: Something (income generating) that puts money back into my pocket.

Liabilities: Something that takes money out of my pocket. A purchased item that depreciates, staring back at you while YOU get NO RETURN from it. Some of them can be very pretty (enticing) and fulfill a temporary self-satisfaction.

Question: What is wealth: That's a person's ability to survive so many numbers of days forward… or if you stopped working today, how long would you survive?

Working harder (on a job) will only fulfill someone else's dreams, what about your dream who will fulfill those. Trust your inner wisdom, look into the mirror and ask yourself "does this make sense?" You have a genius inside you, not because everyone else is doing it and following the crowd makes it right. Invest into yourself.

More money doesn't solve money problems it takes Intelligence to solve problems. If your dug yourself into a hole.. Then stop digging.

Remember these Simple Observations: The Rich buy assets. The Poor only have expenses. The Middle Class buys liabilities thinking there are assets.

Children to Success

There is a great deal of talk these days about juvenile delinquency and the problems of youth.

I'd like to tell the story about one juvenile delinquent and how he was directed into useful pursuits. I was the juvenile delinquent.

My father was a very religious man. There were two of us boys and I was the older, with a mind of my own that defied all of my father's efforts to "reform" me. Our mother had died years before.

I like firearms and had a couple of pistols hidden in hollow trees on our land in the mountains of southwest Virginia. Because of complaints from the neighbors, my father tracked them down and smashed the weapons with a sledge hammer.

I liked mountain music, and had a banjo that I played in secret. But my father's religious learnings were opposed to this, too. He hunted until he found the banjo and destroyed it.

Dancing was forbidden also. But from time to time I managed to "borrow" a horse after Dad was asleep and attend dances in the village.

As a result of all this my visits to the family woodshed were frequent and terrible. But each appointment in this shire of horrors only made me more determined to violate the rules whenever I could. I was well on the way to becoming a complete rebel against all of the regulations of society.

What saved me was my father's decision to marry again. The step-mother he brought to our mountain cabin was a wonderful, kind and understanding woman.

She bought me a new banjo, and even helped me learn to play it. From a mail order house, she purchased two shiny nickel-plated target pistols – one for herself and the other for me. Then we spent many happy hours together as she taught me to plink at harmless targets instead of at the neighbors' chickens and cows.

Having won my confidence and love by helping me to do the things I wanted to do, she set out to direct my energies to better purposes. She obtained a second hand typewriter and began teaching me how to express ideas on paper. Finally, she helped me get a job as mountain reporter for a "string" of small newspapers. Now I can look back and point to that moment as the most decisive in my life. Is it any wonder that I am grateful to this great lady?

Because of this experience, I'm inclined to take the side of the juvenile delinquents whenever I hear of this problem. Not all delinquency stems from the same causes, of course. But in many cases, I suspect they result from excessively-harsh rules which are too strictly enforced. And I fear, too, that many parents fail to realize that the boundless energy which leads youth into trouble can be easily directed to lead them toward tremendous success. The person who is listless and lazy, lacking the spirit of adventure, is not the one who will achieve great things. Almost all men and women who attain high places in our civilization are "trouble-makers" – free spirits who aren't afraid to defy convention to strike out on new trails, to jar their fellowmen out of their lethargy.

If your child is such a courageous person, be glad.

Help him to learn to channel his forceful character toward success in life. Praise him for his willingness to try anything. Show him how to learn from his mistakes when he takes a wrong course.

Above all, give him your praise rather than your condemnation. For somehow it is human nature for people to live up to the reputation which others give them.

Strength Grows Out of Struggle

Struggle is a clever device through which Nature compels Humanity to develop, expand, and progress.

Struggle is either an ordeal or a magnificent experience, depending on the attitude with which one approaches it. Success is impossible without it.

Life, from birth to death, is literally an unbroken record of ever-increasing, unavoidable struggle. Our education is cumulative—we get it a little at a time from every experience we encounter.

"Do the thing," said Emerson, "and you shall have the power."

"Meet struggle and master it," says Nature, "and you shall have strength and wisdom sufficient for all your needs."

The strongest trees of the forests aren't those most protected but those that must struggle against other trees—and surmount them—for survival.

My grandfather was a wagon maker. In clearing his land for crops, he always left a few oaks standing in the open field where they were exposed to the full heat of the burning sun and the blasts of the wind.

As a result, these trees were far tougher than average. It was the timber from them that he used for wagon wheels, bending them into arc-shaped segments without fear they would break.

Struggle similarly toughens the human spirit for the buffeting of life. Most people go through life following the line of least resistance wherever a choice lies open to them. They fail to recognize that following the line of least resistance is what makes rivers crooked – and sometimes does the same for men.

Once we understand the broad purpose of life we become reconciled to the circumstances which force us to struggle. As a result, we accept struggle for what it is – opportunity.

The necessity for struggle forces us to move when we would otherwise stand still. And it leads us eventually to the full realization that success comes only through struggle.

My first boss after I finished business college was Gen. Rufus A. Ayers, whose law business was so extensive that I often had to help him on nights and holidays.

At the finish of each of these sessions, he always apologized for causing me to work overtime. But he added: "You've been a big help to me—but a bigger help to yourself through the experience you've gained this evening."

And I'll never forget the answer I received when I once asked one of Henry Ford's top aides for his formula for success. "I manage to get in the way of men like Mr. Ford," he said, "and pray that when they want something done they'll call on me."

By running to meet struggle, rather than trying to avoid it, you too can use it to help you learn, grow – and succeed.

Powerful Affirmations

Affirmations are positive sentences that describe a desired situation, and which are repeated many times, in order to impress the subconscious mind and trigger it into positive action. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the affirmations, they have to be repeated with attention, conviction, interest and desire.

Imagine that you are swimming with your friends in a swimming pool. They swim fifteen rounds, something you have never done before. As you desire the respect of your friends, you want to show them that you can make it too. You start swimming, and at the same time keep repeating in your mind: "I can do it, I can do it...". You keep thinking and believing that you are going to complete the fifteen rounds. What are you actually doing? You are repeating positive affirmations.

More than often, people repeat in their minds negative sentences and statements concerning the situations and events in their lives, and consequently bring upon themselves undesirable situations. Such sentences and statements work both ways, to build or destroy. It is the way we use them that determines whether they are going to bring good or harmful results.

Affirmations work in the same manner as creative visualization. The repeated words build mental images and scenes in the mind, and help to focus on the aim, object or situation one wants to achieve or create. Frequent repetitions affect the subconscious mind, which in turn reshapes and affects the way one thinks, acts and behaves.

The conscious mind, the mind you think with, starts this process, and then the subconscious mind takes charge. This means that the most frequent thoughts that pass through your mind, ultimately affect your life and your destiny.

Affirmations work like commands that are given to a computer. They influence us, other people, events and circumstances. It might seem strange to you, but they do also influence the people we meet, our circumstances and the events we encounter.

Sometimes they work fast, but more often they need time. Repeating positive affirmations a few minutes, and then thinking negatively, neutralizes the effects of the positive words. You have to refuse negative thoughts, otherwise you will not attain positive results.

We mentally repeat negative statements, without even being aware of the process. We use them when we tell ourselves that we cannot do something, that we are too lazy, or when we believe we are going to fail. The subconscious mind always accepts and follows what we tell it, whether it is good or bad for us, so why not choose only positive statements?

How to Repeat Affirmations

It is advisable to repeat affirmations that are not too long, as they are easier to remember. You can repeat them anytime your mind is not engaged in something in particular, such as while traveling in a bus or a train, waiting in line, walking etc, but do not affirm while driving or crossing a street. You may also repeat them in special sessions of about ten minutes each, several times a day.

There should be no physical, emotional or mental tension while repeating them. The stronger the concentration, the more faith you have in what you are doing, the more feelings you put into the act, the stronger and faster will be the results.

It is very important to choose only positive affirmations. If for example you desire to lose weight, do not say, "I am not fat, I am losing weight." By saying this sentence you are repeating to your subconscious mind that you are fat. The word "losing" also evokes negative images. It is better to say, "My body has an athletic form, and weighs the right and healthy weight". Such words evoke positive images in the mind.

It is important to affirm in the present tense, not the future tense. Saying: "I will be rich", means that you intend to be rich one day, in the indefinite future. You are actually telling yourself that some day you will be rich, never now. It is better and more effective to say, and also feel, "I am rich now", and the subconscious mind will work overtime to make this happen now, in the present.

As to results, sometimes they may come fast, and at other times might take more time to manifest. Getting results depends on how much time, energy, faith and feelings you invest in repeating your affirmations, on the strength of your desire and on how big or small is your goal.

By using the power of affirmations you state what you want to be true in your life. You see reality, as you want it to be. For a while, you ignore your current circumstances and your doubts, and concentrate on a different reality.
