“If you listen to your fears, you will die never knowing what a great person you might have been.” Robert H. Schuller
It has also been said, “Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these – I might have been!”
Fear is an incredible force in your life – fear of failure, fear of rejection and even fear of success can influence your behavior and action. Living by fear is very exhausting and prevents so many from achieving true success and true greatness.
As an entrepreneur or small business owner check your fear quotient and discover what might be holding you back. Also check the fear factor of your employees to see if you are creating a “no-fear” environment where employees can thrive, innovate and excel.
Fear is the great reason we do not live up to our potential. Fear comes from worry and doubt. Worry and Doubt comes from Ignorance which is the lack of knowledge. Identify your fears and trace them back to the knowledge you need to extinguish them. If you do this consistently you will not have to deal with fear. I am of course referring to imaginary fears like speaking in public or buying a house or if you are 5 years old reading this the boogieman in the closet!

Have you seen the movie: The Pursuit of Happyness?
This happens to be one of my favorite movies of all time.
The message is simple and often not fully appreciated.
Have you ever had a dream that you did not protect or talk yourself out of?
Being successful in life and business is a decision – it has nothing to do with fate or your destiny. It has everything to do with being clear about what you want and what you plan to give in very definite terms to get it. Many people in life go through the process of living in an automated way. Some never take the time to figure out exactly who they want to be, and what they plan to do, so they can have what they really want.
When you “want something in life …go get it period.”
Watch this clip and then watch the movie… even if you have seen it before (great learning lessons can be found here and if applied can make all the difference in the world).

“Fail forward fast.” Tom Peters
It is far better to have sloppy success than to have perfect procrastination. It is easy to get caught up in the endless tinkering and perfecting of a project. It is true some things require perfection – most simply need excellence. All need action today!
Do you find yourself waiting to launch important projects? Are you forever splitting hairs about elements that are not mission critical. Do you spend hours and hours on details that don’t matter much?
Start your Monday with action! In taking action you may fail – but even that failure will move you forward toward ultimate success. Pick a project you have been putting off and begin today to take the action which will accelerate your path to achievement.
Please share your comments!

Good morning everyone,
I would like to share with you a video from Napoleon Hill. Dr. Hill has had the greatest influence on my life. I had the good fortune to study his famous book “Think and Grow Rich” in 1987 when I was 12 and my father gave it to me. Listen carefully to his message and may it move you to a higher state of consciousness as it did for me.
Over the years my studies have helped me greatly and soon I will be a certified instructor with the Napoleon Hill Foundation which gives me tremendous joy. I look forward to sharing with you ideas and thoughts which can make a huge difference in your life. You have unlimited potential once you take control of your own mind and intelligently direct it to what you want!
