Really Aim Really High!

  • If you don’t aim high or try for the best, you never find out what quality work is!
  • Nobody stops you from dreaming big.
  • Thoughts become realities; choose them carefully.

To test it very quickly, close your eyes and just think of a very sour lemon and nothing else. Now bring it close to your mouth and put the sour lemon on your tongue. Do you taste how sour it is? Now your saliva should be running, but where is the lemon?

  • Even if you don’t make it, at least you endeavored for the best.
  • If you don’t make it, at least you can coach others.
  • “~make perfect simply your good enough”
  • Distinguish yourself from bozos, and strive for perfection.

Look In The Eyes

  • If your upset or mad at something, don’t let your body talk for you. It may be able to say what you need to say.
  • Always think ahead about the worst think that can happen, and then start the talk. The worst think will not happen, be confident!
  • Talk slowly in the beginning, if you are shy it helps you get started.
  • Recapitulate the situation that upset you.
  • Look in the eyes when talking; do not drop your head and keep your body upright.
  • Negotiate, but not over your positions as a customer, employer, etc.

  • “Entrepreneurs have to be right 100% of times”, Bruce Firestone.

Just Like That

Flying from Chicago to Greensboro, I realized in the plane how easily and suddenly death could happen, when the smooth flight was badly agitated with a strong blow. A malfunction or mishap, and just like that the journey is over.

  • Have I lived a proud, fruitful life?
  • Am I content with my acts so far?
  • Have I achieved enough in life?
  • Who would I call if the plane is crash landing?
  • If given a second chance, what would I really want to do?
  • My last words would be…?
  • Life is damn beautiful!

Standing Out

  • Don’t be afraid to stand out and be controversial! that’s simply distinctive you.
  • If proved wrong, learn the lesson, apologize and move on.
  • Don’t limit yourself to settle for less; get rid of the negative, destructive thoughts.
  • “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”

Multichannel

  • Use all possible resources of income or create them
  • Create multichannel revenue business model

This is no secret, but one should be innovative to see and create a multichannel revenue model.

Omega park has done this perfectly; you buy tickets to get in the park to see the animals. Some of the animals are brought there from animal protection agencies. Volunteers and animal lovers also work there for free. You buy carrots to feed the animals, so that they will come to you and your car to create the Park’s unique attraction. Animals will stay, because there is food in the park. There you buy food/drinks and souvenirs, rent a golf cart to roam around, or get on a balloon for an aerial show.

Dare To Be The Best

  • You have to dare to be the best; the mediocre, just good won’t get very high up the ladder!
  • Everyone in the Olympics is a great athlete, but gold medalists will be noticed.
  • At the top is where you will make a difference and your work will get attention.
  • You need the recognition to help you keep moving not being discouraged.
  • This mentality will polish your every act towards greatness.
  • R. Nadal (21) won the 2008 Wimbledon Championship today by beating R. Federer (27)!!! In the end, only the new winner will get all the attention; that’s a reality.
