Better Business Results - 5 Proven Techniques To Stay on Track
Having finished Rich Dad Secrets, I needed Mind System Secrets Review something else to listen to. I remembered the tapes and began to listen to them. Luckily I had a tape player in the car along with the CD player. But I knew I would need something else to listen to after that. So back to Nightingale-Conant I went. And they had a sale on many of their classic audio programs. The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale, Lead The Field by Earl Nightingale, The Psychology of Achievement by Brian Tracy, The Psychology Of Winning by Dennis Waitley, The Science Of Personal Achievement by Napoleon Hill, all classics and all on sale for a special price. I had to have them. So I ordered them all and I feasted on them... over and over again. Even now a few years later I listen again and always find new gems amongst their wisdom.
But the prevailing theme, when listening to these classics and the many more I have purchased since then has always been controlling our thoughts, because it is our thoughts that make us who and what we are. Controlling what we feed our mind... controlling our attitudes... controlling who we hang out with... controlling our thoughts and how we viewed our word around us. This was food for thought. And I took it to heart. And as I began to control these things and change my thinking, my life began to change. Both at work and at home.
I had become negative due to the down-sizing of the company I worked for. Even though I was fortunate to keep my job, it still took it's toll on me. Add a couple unwarranted across-the-board pay cuts (for the good of the company), and my motivation was just about dead. But with the new found life that I had found by reading and listening to "vitamin" enriched books and CDs... positive energy in such a negative world... things began to turn around. In spite of the lower pay and the lower morale, I decided to make the best of it. I would become the change I wanted to see in the corporate world around me.
I changed my attitude. As my attitude changed, I became more valuable to my company. As I became more valuable, my pay began to increase in this tough environment where there was no money for raises. But my bosses found a way. From my new found reading and listening, my leadership skills began to develop. I became first a technical lead in my group that everyone came to for help and advise, and then, eventually, I became primary lead over the group.
