To control the outcome of anything, you control the action at the point of decision making.
If you let others make decisions for you, you give up control. When you control the decisions, you control the actions.
It’s your life. You decide what you’re going to do with it. If you don’t run your own life, someone else will. You’re in control of your life to the degree that you make decisions.
Take charge of your life, so there is no longer a need to ask permission of others. When you ask permission, you are giving someone veto power over your life.
Take control and start making those decisions. Only you are responsible for your life.

People long for a greater sense of community today—especially since 9/11. Capitalize on this belief by encouraging your team to attend your company’s events—they’ll have a powerful effect. At just one location, you’ll get to meet many of the key company executives and support staffers, plus you’ll get to meet, talk with, and learn from the key field leaders from all over the country (or world).
Another smart move is to visit your company’s main offices and manufacturing facility. Even if this requires a trip of thousands of miles, it’s a key step in strengthening your belief in the company. You may be with your company for decades, so the more you know about it sooner, the better representative you’ll be for all its offerings, and the more confidence and belief you’ll have in the company, its products, the support it offers and the viability of your long-term relationship.
Call ahead and let the company know you’re coming. They’ll be happy to receive you and set up a tour. Meet the key people there that you interact with already—the customer service and shipping people, the phone receptionist, those who handle applications and order processing, and as many key executives as you can spend even a few minutes chatting with. If you show up with cookies and/or flowers, they’ll appreciate that!
Very few distributors actually do this, so chances are your company will warmly welcome your visit. The most successful distributors have been to a ton of events, have visited company headquarters, and have engaged in lots of personal development to build their belief in all these areas.
So it’s really important to make continuing investments in yourself—to feed great inspirations to your mind from the experience of your company’s events and conference calls so you develop stronger beliefs and better skills. And you’ll learn from other industry leaders who’ve already made the mistakes you should avoid—they’ll teach the necessary course corrections to get onto a success track faster.
IF YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO MAKE IT, YOU WILL
Success is a road paved with perseverance. The odds are with you if you keep trying.
There is no failure except in not trying. You cannot be beaten at anything, until you quit in your own mind. There is no defeat except from within.
You have no really insurmountable barrier except your own inherent weakness of purpose.
Consider yourself on a very long journey. Sustain your personal vision of success. In the end, you can only fail if you do not try.
Winning isn’t everything, but wanting to is.
Listen:”For things to change, YOU have to change… Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better… Don’t wish for less problems, wish for more skills… Don’t wish for less Challenge, wish for more wisdom… Accept the Challenge because you can’t grow without a Challenge… you can’t get rich without a Challenge.” — Jim Rohn

SUCCESS IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK
Every situation, properly perceived, becomes an opportunity. But you have to act on them if you’re going to be successful.
Distant pastures always look greener than those close at hand, but real opportunities are right where you are.
You must simply take advantage of them when they appear. You can start where you are at any time.
Success is all around you. It’s not in your environment,
it’s not in luck or chance, or in the help of others.
Success is in yourself alone.
You don’t need more strength or more ability or greater opportunity. What you need is to use what you have.
Learn to seize good fortune, for it is always around you.
You must go to success, it doesn’t come to you.
Open your own doors to opportunity.

Your success depends on the support of other people.
The only hurdle between you and what you want to be, is the support of others.
Put yourself in another’s place, and you’ll know why they think and do certain things. You can succeed fastest by helping others to succeed.
Always think in terms of what the other person wants.
You’ll get everything in life that you want if you’ll help enough other people get what they want. Doing things for others always pays dividends.
Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement, all success, all achievement in real life grows.
You’re not an isolated island. You’re a piece of the planet, a piece of the universe.
When you help someone’s boat across a river, you’ll find your own boat has reached the shore too.
Everyone who got where they are had to begin where they were. Your opportunity for success is right in front of you.
To attain success or to reach your goal, don’t worry about having all the answers in advance. You just need to have a clear idea of your goal and move toward it.
Don’t procrastinate when faced with a difficult problem.
Break your problems into parts and handle one part at a time.
Develop a tendency toward action. You can make something happen today. Break your big plan for success into small steps and take the first step right away.
Success starts with a first step.
