Great business advice from someone who knows: Dave Ramsey
Over the years, I’ve been honored to hang out with some of our country’s top business leaders. And that’s no accident. I’ve always believed that if you want to win at something, you’ve got to find some people who are already winning at it and learn everything you possibly can from them.
Out of all of the men and women I’ve met, there is one person whose words touched my heart and have stayed with me to this day. This incredibly successful billionaire didn’t quote any philosophy or fancy financial formulas when I asked for his secret to success. Instead, he just gave me one simple rule to live by: Be generous in business, at home and in the marketplace. Why? Because successful people are generous people, and generous people become the most successful people.
As the holiday season gets into full swing, remember his words. Don’t have the heart of a grinch. Celebrate Christmas wholeheartedly with your family, your team and your customers. Give what you can, when you can—as God leads you. And here’s an idea: Try doing that the rest of the year too. It’s a blast!
Ugh! It’s 5:00 a.m. and the alarm is going off already. I hit the snooze button and snuggle down further into my warm comforter. 9 minutes later……it’s going off again. God, I wish I could sleep in. Don’t you hate getting up early for work?
“But I hate my job.” There are two ways I like to look at this. One of them, obviously, is to quit and find another job. Easier said than done? Again, it is a choice. You get to make it easy or you get to make it hard. If you put negative energy out, that is exactly what you will attract. (Watch “The Secret” to get more information on the Laws of Attraction). Practice putting out positive energy in all that you want to achieve and see what starts showing up for you.
