About one hundred years ago, a man named Ivy Lee went to the president of Bethlehem Steel, Charles Schwab, and made a deal with him. Lee told Schwab he could increase Schwab’s productivity as well as the workload of all his managers. What’s more, Lee told Schwab he could help Schwab’s executives produce a significant amount more if he could just spend fifteen minutes with each of them. To make the offer especially enticing, Lee told Schwab he wouldn’t charge anything at all unless his advice worked. “Then, after three months,” Lee told Schwab, “if my advice proves profitable, send me a check for whatever you think it’s worth.”
They struck a deal.
Here’s how productive he was—Lee actually spent only ten minutes with each executive. Here’s what he told them: “I want you to promise that for the next ninety days, before leaving your office at the end of each day, you’ll make a list of the six most important things you have to do the next day and number them in their order of importance.”
The executives were shocked that that was all they were asked to do.
“That’s it,” Lee said. “Scratch off each item after you finish it. Then go on to the next item on your list. If something doesn’t get done, put it on the following day’s list.”
Each Bethlehem executive agreed to follow Lee’s instructions. Three months later, Schwab studied the results. He was so pleased, he sent Lee a check for $35,000! (That may or may not seem like a lot of money to you, but this was one hundred years ago. At the time, the average United States worker made $2.00 a day or $4,000 a year. Thirty-five thousand dollars was a LOT of money! Even today, imagine if you spent a few minutes with a group of executives and gave each one the same, simple tip and got $35,000 for it. You’d be thrilled!)
Many people follow Lee’s advice today. The founder of the $2.2 billion direct sales cosmetics company Mary Kay praised Lee’s idea when she wrote the book You Can Have It All: Lifetime Wisdom from America’s Foremost Woman Entrepreneur. Mary Kay Ash boasted that she herself followed Lee’s advice. After all, she reasoned, Schwab was one of the smartest business professionals of his day. If he felt that bit of advice was worth paying $35,000, she ought to try it, too. So, each night she made a list of things to do the following day. But, she added a twist to it. She didn’t just number the tasks in order of importance. She always put the hardest or most unappealing task at the top. “This way,” she wrote, “I tackle the most difficult item first, and once it’s out of the way, I feel my day is off to a good start.”
Follow Lee’s advice! Before you go to sleep tonight, figure out what you need to do tomorrow. Write down the six most important things you need to accomplish. Not only will you start tomorrow ready to go, but subconsciously, you’ll also be working on those six projects while you sleep. Then, follow Mary Kay’s advice and knock those tasks out from hardest to easiest.
Don’t let your time get snuffed out by what appears to be an innocent killer! Stand guard. When you guard your time, you guard your life. For time is the stuff that life is made of.

Inspiring People Who Started With Nothing and Changed the World


Ever wish that you could do something amazing in your life?
Maybe, you’ve got a ‘big’ dream but you’re worried that it will never be anything more than a fantasy.
You’re worried that you’re just not capable enough. To be successful at something requires a great deal of skill, talent and even luck, right?
What if I told you that success is in your own hands? And that if you want it bad enough, there’s just one thing you need to do?
I’d like to share with you about how a few ordinary people just like you and I literally changed the world.
They were certainly not lucky, and even skill and talent are not the reason that they achieved their big dream.
Rather they all shared one thing in common….they worked their butts off and they never gave up!
It’s that simple.
If you want your big dream bad enough, read these short stories. They will certainly inspire you and make you believe that you really can do anything.
1. Dr Seuss - You probably grew up reading his books such as ‘The cat in the Hat’, and ‘Green eggs and ham’.  But did you know that his first children’s book “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street”, was refused by 27 publishers? It’s clear that Dr Seuss didn’t just take no for an answer.  Now Dr Seuss is a legendary, world famous children’s author and his books have sold over 600 million copies!
2. Thomas Edison - What would the world be like if Thomas Edison had given up trying to invent the light bulb? He could have easily decided that it was too much of an impossible goal. After all, he failed at it 1000 times. During school Thomas had trouble learning in a traditional way and his teachers even told him that he was “too stupid to learn anything”. Later, he was fired from his first two jobs for being too “unproductive”. Despite his difficulties and failures, Thomas never stopped fighting for his dream.
”Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time”. Thomas Edison
3. Michael Jordan - Michael Jordan was not always destined to become an NBA player, let alone an NBA superstar. Growing up, Michael was viewed as the ‘goofy’ kid who liked basketball. He wasn’t very tall and didn’t come from an athletic family. But he was determined. Michael had many setbacks and failures but his hard work eventually paid off. In High school, Michael was even rejected from the basketball team. It’s hard to believe right?
“I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed”. -Michael Jordan
4. Steven Spielberg - We all know Steven Spielberg as one of the most famous film makers in history. But did you ever consider how he got to be where he is? Steven was highly determined and knew what he wanted from a young age. So, he took every opportunity he could to grow as a film maker and gain valuable knowledge from others. Steven had many challenges along the way including being rejected by the University of California of Cinematic Arts (his dream school) multiply times. But that didn’t stop him from reaching his dream. It wasn’t luck that got Steven where he is today, but rather hard work and a never dying commitment to making his dream a reality.
Do you believe it now? Do you believe that with hard work and perseverance, you can reach your big dream and even change the world?
It’s easy to look at all the ‘big shots’ and celebrities as if they are on another level to you…that they are just made for success, and that for you, success is nothing but a fairy tale.
But when you take a real look at how these people came to be where they are, you’ll notice that most of them started off just like you and I…with nothing but a big dream and a heck of a strong will.
Hopefully you realize now that you can achieve anything in this life, no matter how big it may seem, so long as you persevere and never give up.
I challenge you from today onward to get out there and fight for your dream! 
DESIRE -- STARTING POINT OF SUCCESS

 DESIRE  is like flame of candle in you.You have to put it on and you have to protect it with your own hands.There will be lot of outer circumstances which will try to put it off,But you should protect with your OWN HANDS !!
THE SECRET INCOME OF MULTI-MILLIONAIRES

If you are like most people, you have to work for a living. If you don't work, you don't get paid.

That's how linear income works. You receive income when you work. When you stop working, the income stops coming. Linear income continues only as long as you continue to work.

Recurring income is a lot different.

Multi-millionaires know the secret to creating true wealth is in creating recurring income.

The best way to describe recurring income is when you do something right just ONE time, and then you get paid over and over again for a LONG time based on what you did that one time.

What kind of people have recurring income?

• Rock stars like Beyoncé, Bono and Bon Jovi have recurring income -- maybe it took them two years to write a hit album, they did the work right one time and are now getting paid over and over and over again for a long time.

• Paris Hilton does. Her family did the work right one time, and she's
collecting every day.

• People with millions of dollars. They invest their money right one time and collect for a long time.

• Best-selling authors like JK Rowling the author of the Harry Potter books, Michael Jordan and Bill Gates all have recurring income.

They all did the work right one time and now they continue to collect for a long time.

Recurring income sounds nice, unfortunately, most people have trouble developing a recurring or residual income.

Why? We don't have a hit single or a best-selling novel. We can't jump like Jordan. We don't have a few million dollars sitting in our checking account waiting to be invested. And, worst of all, we can't find any rich people willing to adopt us.

However, there is hope.

There is another way to develop recurring income. There’s a way to get extra monthly checks for hundreds, thousands, even tens-of-thousands of dollars so that we can do the things we want in life, so that we can achieve our dreams. And best of all, almost anyone can develop this recurring income.

You see...

• Successful NETWORK MARKETERS have recurring income. They built an organization once and now collect a recurring check every single month.

Network Marketing is a proven and viable profession. A profession that is helping millions of people create recurring incomes and moving them closer to their dreams.

Build it. Build it BIG. Build it to last a lifetime of income!

TOM 'BIG AL' SCHREITER

 Actually, this story has happened to me many times.

After an opportunity meeting, an elderly person comes up to me and says, 

"Wow. Work a few years part-time, and then never work again. I am 68 years old. I wish I would have known about this when I was younger. I spent my whole life working for someone else, and I had no time to do what I wanted to do in life."

You can almost feel what that person is feeling inside. It is sad. No one told that person there were choices.

I was lucky. Someone told me about network marketing when I was 23 years old. Pure luck. But because that person gave me a presentation, I had a choice. I feel so sorry for those people who didn't even have a chance to refuse.

And that is why we should talk to everyone about network marketing.

It is okay if our prospects refuse to join. No problem. They had an opportunity to make their own decision, and that decision will have results in their life.

But I do think it is criminal if we refuse to give them a choice. If we withhold the opportunity from them, never let them know about network marketing, well, that is just cruel.

Please do someone a favor today. Tell them about network marketing. Then, let them make the decision that will affect their life forever.
I have power to CHOOSE !!
Good artists create.
Great artists steal.
It's GOOD to get a job and BEST to become an entrepreneur. But
As we know GOOD is always enemy of BEST !!
What ever man can conceive and believe he can achieve.
