Morning Motivator - Create a Better Future for Yourself

"Perseverance is the most overrated of traits, if it is unaccompanied by talent; beating your head against a wall is more likely to produce a concussion in the head than a hole in the wall."
-Sydney J. Harris

Today we wake up with a new President-elect in the United States. I do not wish to make today's Morning Motivator one of political rhetoric, so I will yield to a lesson of PERSISTENCE. As we look to the next four years, we are likely to see a great many CHANGES – many of which may be painful personally and financially. As it has been stated, we can expect higher taxes, higher security risks and a "redistribution of wealth."

The REALITY is that a PERSISTENCE and FOCUS on continuing to grow you personally, professionally and financially WILL pay off in the end. Your dedication to LEADERSHIP will still hold value and your ability to CREATE your own opportunities; will still outweigh any program or initiative to "GIVE you a better life."

Do NOT allow yourself to become complacent. NEVER take the easy road because it is presented to you and seems to be a quick fix. Remember that your VALUE is defined by you as a person and your WILLINGNESS to work for your dreams, not by the people or things around you. Your PERSISTENCE in working towards a better future for yourself will REAP the rewards you are deserving of and INSPIRE others to follow suit. RISE above your circumstances, use CREATIVITY to seek better ways of creating your success and FOCUS your efforts on your PLANNED attack to achieve your dreams.

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
In order to CREATE a better future for yourself utilizing your own best talents, you must first IDENTIFY what your special talents are and the manners in which you best leverage their value.

Once you understand your best ASSETS, you then identify scenarios in which you can use those most effectively and efficiently. If you are a great speaker, find a vocation that allows you to leverage that talent to amass wealth. If you are a great teacher, seek unique situations in which your special talent will be compensated for at the rate of which you are worth.

Finally, CREATE, IMPLEMENT and EXECUTE your strategy. Define the success steps required to ATTAIN your goals and begin executing immediately. Always ask for opportunities and never accept "NO" as a legitimate answer. If you WANT something – you DESERVE IT… as long as you are willing to WORK for it.

What are you WAITING for..?

Cheers,
Zach
