1. The Ten Keys To Success
In Business and Life

2. “You become what you think
about all day long.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
You Become What You
Think About
If you think positive thoughts, you will start
to think and act in positive ways. Same
goes when you think negatively.
Everything you do and say begins with a
thought.

3. Without goals, and plans to
reach them, you are like a ship
that has set sail with no
destination.”
- Fitzhugh Dodson
Decide On Your Goals
and Put Them In Writing
Decide what you want out of your business
and your life, then write out your plan for
achieving it. Most goals that haven’t been
put to paper are merely dreams.

4. “Inaction breeds doubt and
fear. Action breeds confidence
and courage. If you want to
conquer fear, do not sit home
and think about it. Go out and
get busy.”
- Dale Carnegie
Do Something Now
It’s easy to put off something because the
task seems too large to tackle. The best
remedy is to take action. Even doing
something small will move you closer to
your goal and get you in an action oriented
mindset.

5. “Man’s mind stretched to a
new idea never goes back to
its original dimensions.”
- Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr
Become A Student Of
Learning
Most people stop their education when
they leave school. Keep an open mind
and learn something new every
day. Developing a love for learning is key
to growing as a person.

6. “Persistent people begin their
success where others end in
failure.”
-Edward Eggleston
Be Persistent
For many successful entrepreneurs, the
difference between them and the ones that
failed was that they didn’t give up when
they met failure. One of the things that
most entrepreneurs credit to their success
is persistence.

7. “A pessimist sees the difficulty
in every opportunity; an
optimist sees the opportunity
in every difficulty.”
- Winston Churchill
Pay Attention
Learn from your mistakes. Learn from
others mistakes. Opportunities are
everywhere, you just have to be on the
lookout for them and be ready to grab
them when they appear.

8. “Most people have no idea of
the giant capacity we can
immediately command when
we focus all of our resources
on mastering a single area of
our lives.”
- Tony Robbins
Focus Your Resources
You can never get your time back, use it
wisely. Focus on the things that will have
the biggest impact in reaching your
goals. Learn to work with others in helping
to achieve your goals.

9. “Whenever you find yourself
on the side of the majority, it is
time to pause and reflect.”
– Mark Twain
Think and Act Differently
Like a three year old, learn to ask the
question “why”.
Challenge assumptions.
Think differently and you will act
differently.
Don’t be afraid to try something even
though others tell you that you are crazy.
Maybe they are wrong and you are right.

10. “I consider my ability to arouse
enthusiasm among men the
greatest asset I possess. The
way to develop the best that is
in a man is by appreciation
and encouragement.”
- Charles Schwab
Be a People Person
Treat people fairly and with respect. Learn
to get along with other people, even if you
have differences of opinion. Be helpful to
those around you and they will be eager to
help you when the need arises.

11. “Integrity without knowledge is
weak and useless, and
knowledge without integrity is
dangerous and dreadful.”
- Samuel Johnson
Have Integrity
If you lack integrity, you will lose the trust
and goodwill of others. And if you lose
that, the rest of the points above don’t
really matter.
