Simple Secrets to a Happy Life
“We tend to forget that happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.” —Frederick Koenig
Denis Waitley once said, “Happiness cannot be travelled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.”
That’s why I’d like to share this movie with you today…to encourage you to experience each moment with love, grace and gratitude!
How to Program Yourself for Success
Personal excellence is perhaps the most important of all invisible and intangible assets that you can acquire. Achieving personal excellence in your business or industry requires lifelong dedication. But once you get into the top 10% of your field, you will be one of the highest paid people in the country. You will enjoy the respect and esteem of the people around you. You will be able to live your life the way you want to live it. You will enjoy high levels of self-esteem, self-respect, and personal pride.
Build Your Intellectual Assets
Each person has or can acquire three forms of intellectual capital. These require an investment of study and hard work, but they pay off in higher income for the rest of your life. The first type of intellectual capital you can acquire consists of your core knowledge, skills, and abilities. These are the result of education, experience, and training. They determine how well you do your job and the value of your contribution to your business.
Ever wonder what stands between you and the life that you want to live? Why is it that some people always seem to win - while the finish line seems just out of your reach?
It doesn't have to be this way.
Do you want to know the laws of success?
There are laws that explain how people act in any given situation. Laws that explain why some people triumph while others fail. These laws can predict the outcome in the game of life. If you learn these laws, and apply them -- YOU will become a winner.
Build Your Internal Knowledge
The second form of intellectual capital that you posses is your knowledge of how your business operates internally, in comparison to that of your competitors or any other business. Each business develops a series of systems, procedures, methods, techniques, and strategies to market, sell, produce, deliver products and services, and satisfy customers. Each business has internal systems for accounting, administration, and financial controls. These systems take many years to develop and considerable time for a new person to learn. A person who knows and understands these systems intimately has a form of intellectual capital that is difficult for the company to replace.
Build Your Ability to Get Results
The third form of intellectual capital that you possess, and that is perhaps the key determinant of your earning ability, is your knowledge and understanding of how you can get financial results in a competitive market. This includes your knowledge of your products and services and how to sell them.

It includes your knowledge of customers and suppliers and how to deal with them. It embraces your familiarity with bankers, lawyers, accountants, and government officials and how to interact with them effectively. This form of intellectual capital may take years to build, and it is extremely valuable to your organisation.
You first responsibility to yourself is to develop your earning ability to a high level. You do this by continually increasing your intellectual capital, by upgrading your ability to do your job, by becoming a valuable part of your organisation, and by getting more and better financial results for your organisation.

Leadership Credibility:
How to Earn It and How to Keep It
Successful leaders know that credibility is key to running a high-performance team. When employees trust that you're taking them in the right direction and making smart decisions, they're much more likely to give you 110% every day.
But credibility doesn't automatically come with a management or supervisory title. It must be earned and it must be maintained.
That's why we created the publication `Create Your Own Success Story`. This publication gives you a road map for becoming a trusted and effective successful leader. It provides a baseline for your new managers and supervisors, and reinforces the principles of strong leadership for your veterans.
