This document provides advice from three prospectors on how to succeed when pursuing opportunities for growth and wealth. It emphasizes embracing both positive and negative truths, working hard to overcome obstacles, acting sooner rather than later to seize opportunities before others do, controlling one's work style and efforts rather than circumstances, and balancing work with rest to sustain long-term productivity. The overall message is that perseverance, diligence, and wisdom are needed to attain success and "get the gold" despite an ever-changing environment.

2. Our environment, the way we work and even
what we work on is constantly subject to
change…
Change is the second constant in life,
the first being death.

3. We are all poncho wearing mule riding drifters.
The winds of change can blow us off course
with ease...

4. The landscape we’re crossing was designed to
break any attempt by the
unworthy to cross it.
It is unforgiving and treacherous.

5. Be that as it may, we all know that there’s gold
to be made, if you are up for the challenge.
That’s why we take the journey, that’s why we
try to better ourselves…

6. We’re after the gold.

7. There are truths that must be embraced. Some
are good, others bad and some are just plain
ugly.
Here are some Pearls of Productive Wisdom
from three industrious prospectors we love…

9. Some people may have a temporary advantage
over you. Don’t be impressed…
Someday, they might find themselves without a
gun. Until then, as long as you’re not the one
holding the gun, you dig.
Life is fickle that way.

11. A good gun is ok, but a great tune hits the target
You have your own personal work style. It
probably fits you and you alone.
Whether perfectly or not, depends on the
amount of time you invest tuning it.

13. Think big! No successful enterprise was ever
handed on a silver platter.
Work hard and meet obstacles head on.
To reach the top, you’ll have to do what others
won’t.

15. There’s no such thing as the “perfect time”.
Conditions will never be perfect.
If you won’t act, someone else will.
…Get the gold!

17. Talking will get you nowhere
Talking is NOT Doing
Talking = Procrastinating

19. Stress can turn even the easiest task into a mess
you can’t control.
Don’t wait for the last minute.
When the devil bites, he bites hard!

21. Things are not what they seem, you have to see
the big picture!
Sometimes, it is not the fastest gun that gets the
gold.
Often, it’s the person who’s able to anticipate
the moves of others, someone who plans.

23. Hit it while it’s hot… Just Do It…
Use any cliché you’d like.
There’s time for plans and there’s time for
actions.
The sooner you act, the faster you get the gold!

25. The third constant in life is work.
No matter how hard you work today,
tomorrow is a brand new day.
So save some for tomorrow…

26. You can’t control the amount of work you
have, you can only control the way you work!
Work smart, take breaks, unwind and regroup.
…And always make sure your
Next Action counts!
