| On Courage |
On Excellence |
| "The
systematic, deliberate development of courage is essential to the
achievement
of success. Fear is the greatest single obstacle to achievement."
-– Brian Tracy
"To
dream anything that you want to dream. That is the beauty of the
human mind. To do anything that you want to do. That is the
strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your
limits.
That is the courage to succeed." -- Bernard
Edmonds
"Courage
is not the towering oak that sees storms come and go; it is the fragile
blossom that opens in the snow." -- Alice
Mackenzie Swaim
"Courage
is fear that has said its prayers." -- Dorothy
Bernard
|
"The
only thing that separates any one of us from excellence is fear, and
the
opposite of fear is faith. I am careful not to confuse excellence
with perfection. Excellence I can reach for, perfection is God's
business." -- Michael J. Fox
"Quality
is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention,
sincere
effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the
wise choice of many alternatives." -– Willa A.
Foster
"Your
true success in life begins only when you make the commitment to become
excellent at what you do." -– Brian
Tracy

The Estate Analysis
Process...
Estate
planning is the process of accumulating, preserving and distributing
assets
to achieve the financial goals of people during their lifetimes, and to
provide for their heirs according to the estate owner's wishes at death.
As such, estate planning is not a one-time event. Instead, it is
an ongoing process designed to accomplish accumulation, preservation
and
distribution objectives, both during your lifetime and after your death.

THE
LAW OF ATTRACTION by Brian Tracy
You
are a living magnet; you invariably attract into your life the people,
situations and circumstances that are in harmony with your dominant
thoughts.
This
is one of the great laws that explain much of success and failure in
business
and personal life. It has been written about as far back as the ancient
Egyptian mystery schools, 3000 years before Christ. It is so powerful,
pervasive and all encompassing that it affects everything you do or
say,
or even think or feel.
Everything
you have in your life, you have attracted to yourself because of the
way
you think, because of the person you are. You can change your
life
because you can change the way you think. You can change the person you
are.
You
have heard it said, "Birds of a feather flock together." "Like attracts
like." "Whatever you want, wants you." These are ways of
expressing
the Law of Attraction.
Your
thoughts are extremely powerful. They are a form of mental energy
that travels at the speed of light. They are so fine that they can go
through
any barrier. This is why, for example, you can think about a person,
sometimes
at a great distance, and in the next moment, the phone will ring and
that
person will be on the line. Your thoughts have connected with that
person
the moment you thought them.
Companies
develop products, processes, services and ways of doing business that
attract
an entire constellation of customers, employees, suppliers, financiers
and circumstances that are in harmony with the dominant thinking of the
organization. It is as though every human ingredient inside and
outside
of the organization is a musical instrument. Together, they make
up a great symphony. They are all playing together and creating a
form of music that constitutes the activities of your business and your
life.
Whenever
things are not going well in any organization, the fastest way to bring
about change is to bring in a new person who changes the way people
think
and feel about themselves and what they are doing. New values, new
visions,
new strategies and new policies toward customers and toward each other
bring about rapid and often dramatic change.
