Some Food for Thought
I've been working from home for almost 8 years. I've done
various things. For the last two years I have worked with a
company that has a great team. We all work together to make our
dreams come true. What a great concept.....helping each other.
You don't see that alot at a j.o.b. or any other home business.
That's what makes us different from anyone else.
We have a magazine that the company sends every month. As I was
reading this month's magazine I was moved by the inspiration
from our teammates and business owners. So I wanted to pass
along their words of wisdom. These can be used in life, business
and family.
CHARACTER: "Leadership is the capacity and will to rally men and
women to a common purpose and the character which inspires
confidence." B. Montgomery British Field Marshal
FOCUS: "What people say, what people do, and what they say they
do are entirely different things." M. Mead Anthropologist
VISION: "The future belongs to those who see possibilities
before they become obvious." J. Sculley, Former CEO of Pepsi and
Apple Computer
INITIATIVE: "Success seems to be connected with action.
Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they
don't quit." Conrad Hilton, Hotel Executive
COMMUNICATION: "Developing excellent communication skills is
absolutely essential to effective leadership. The leader must be
able to share knowledge and ideas to transmit a sense of urgency
and enthusiasm to others. If a leader can't get a message across
clearly and motivate others to act on it, then having a message
doesn't even matter." Gilbert Amelio, President and CEO of
National Semiconductor Corp.
COMMITMENT: "People do not follow uncommitted leaders.
Commitment can be displayed in full range of matters to the work
hours you choose to maintain, how you work to improve your
abilities, or what you do for your fellow workers and personal
sacrifice." Stephen Gregg, Chairman and CEO of Ethix Corp.
COMPETENCE: "Competence goes beyond words. It's the leader's
ability to say it, plan on it, and do it in such a way that
others know that you know how and know that they want to follow
you." John C. Maxwell
SELF DISIPLINE: "The speed of the leader is the speed of your
organization." Russ Paley
PASSION: "Anyone can dabble, but once you've made that
commitment, your blood has that particular thing in it, and it's
very hard for people to stop you." Bill Cosby
Now reading those words of wisdom apply them to your life. The
Vision of my Passion is what keeps me going. Initiative gives me
the strength to make a difference by help others.
