Believe you will be successful and you will

Dale Carnegie

Brian Tracy has a book called Flight Plan that includes the standard formulas for success.  There is an interesting concept about setbacks in business and life.  The concept is that just as a plane flight is often without smooth and without issues, there are times when there is turbulence or headwinds.  So expect turbulence.  His recommendations:

  • Control Your Responses
  • Problems Go with the Territory
  • Think in Terms of Solutions
  • Ask Questions
  • Accept Responsibility and Take Charge

If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity, it would be this: Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high. Look it squarely in the eye, and say, 'I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me.
Ann Landers

So much for the Ann/Oprah approach to life…For more see: Flight Plan
