Danger And Opportunity Are Inseperable

"Wherever there is danger, there lurks opportunity; whenever there is opportunity, there lurks danger. The two are inseparable. They go together." ~Earl Nightingale


Danger/Opportunity. Two side of the same coin. the question is, "Do you concentrate on the danger or the opportunity?" Well, which one rules your mind? Unfortunately, most people allow their fears and the PERCEIVED danger to rule their lives. I hope that's not you, because the opportunity is out there for everyone...not just the "lucky few."

Norman Vincent Peale said that "We tend to get what we expect." Are you expecting danger or opportunity? Really?  Your brain is not your friend.  It was designed to keep you safe, not to make the best decisions.  That's why most people tend to expect danger rather than opportunity.  To expect opportunity, you must retrain your brain to expect opportunity!

Opportunities surround us all the time. The key is to be looking for them and not the danger. When your mind is present, where you are, you will start to see opportunities everywhere. Be present. NOW. Challenge your brain to see the opportunities!

Don't allow fear and danger to rule your mind. Become an opportunian. I just made that word up but it means that your mind is open and looking for opportunities all around you.

Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

Learn To Expect, Not To Doubt

"If you expect the best, you will be the best. Learn to use one of the most powerful laws in this world; change your mental habits to belief instead of disbelief. Learn to expect, not to doubt. In so doing, you bring everything into the realm of possibility."~Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

Do you expect the best?  Or do you have disbelief and doubt?  Why?
Most people are scared to expect the best.  They've been told not to expect the best because if the don't get it they will be disappointed.  So what if you are disappointed?  Learn from it and move on!  However, to not expect the best because of fear of failure just brings about failure!

I teach sales people and in my workshops, I always ask them, "When you go to an appointment with a prospect, do you expect to make the sale?"  90% of them will say that they do NOT expect to make the sale.  To that I say WHY GO TO THE APPOINTMENT AT ALL!?  If you don't expect to make the sale you are wasting your time and your prospects time. Just stay home.

Expect wonderful things to happen, not in the future but right now!  We are good at expecting good things to happen when...just not right now.  Change that because when you do, you will bring everything into the realm of possibility.  EVERYTHING!

Know.  be Known.  Make A Difference!

Only You Can Stop YOU!

"Set your sights high, the higher the better. Expect the most wonderful things to happen, not in the future but right now. Realize that nothing is too good. Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or hold you up in any way."~Eileen Caddy

I know that you set your sights high, but are they set the highest or are they just set high enough? High enough that it will challenge you a little, but not to much. Not a BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal), just high enough. Do you expect wonderful things to happen RIGHT NOW??? Every expects wonderful things to happen someday. Here's the problem...someday never comes! There's Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday Saturday and Sunday. There's no SOMEDAY!

What are you allowing yourself to be stopped by? Only you can stop you. Anais Nin said "We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are." Whatever is holding you back is in you, not in outer circumstances. We see things as we are!

Most people don't set their sights high enough and don't expect wonderful things to happen. Don't be part of the most people crowd. Don't allow others limited perception of you to define you. Only YOU can define YOU!

Do You Expect Grand Things?

"Your expectations, opens or closes the doors of your supply. If you expect grand things, and work honestly for them, they will come to you. Your supply will correspond with your expectation." ~ Orison Swett Marden

How often do you think about your expectations? Too much, not enough, just right? Where do those expectations come from? Past history, other people, your mind? How do you know the expectation you hold is the right one?

According to Marden, your expectations hold the key to your success or failure. Do you believe that? Why or why not? I know that when I'm in a sales situation, that if I don't expect to make the sale, I never do. Wayne Gretzky said "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." I like to equate that to expectations. You miss 100% of the expectations that you don't have for yourself.

Winners expect to win. Losers hope to win. There's a huge difference in those two words, expect and hope. Are you hoping to be successful or are you expecting to be successful? As always, the choice is yours and yours alone. Nobody can make it for you.

Start your day off with great expectations and watch them come true. Great expectations will equal great results.

Expect Wonderful Things to Happen Now!

"Set your sights high, the higher the better. Expect the most wonderful things to happen, not in the future but right now. Realize that nothing is too good. Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or hold you up in any way."~ Eileen Caddy


Do you set your sights high? Some people do, some don't. Here's a fact: Most people set their goals so that they need to work a little more, a little harder to reach them. Most people don't set BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goals) goals, no matter what they say. Leonardo da Vinci said that we should not "fear setting goals too high and not reaching them, but setting goals to low and attaining them." How true!

In "The Magic of Thinking Big" David Schwartz says that "success is determined not so much by the size of one's brain as it is by the size of one's thinking.  How big do you think?
I've often talked about playing small. The world doesn't benefit by you playing small. You don't benefit by playing small. Do you realize that? If you are playing small you might be accomplishing some things but not everything that you could! If you are playing small then the world doesn't benefit either. Stop playing small. Play as BIG AS YOU CAN!  THINK AS BIG AS YOU CAN!

Expect wonderful things to happen NOW!!! Not in the future, but now. We often postpone our happiness by saying "when I do this, then I will be happy." Why do we not EXPECT wonderful things to happen now. They are almost always in the future...

Nothing is too good for you...wow. Nothing is too good for you! Do you believe that? It's true, just start playing bigger and find out yourself.

Plan, Prepare, Expect

"You were born to win, but to be a winner you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win."~Zig Ziglar

YOU WERE BORN TO WIN!!! Do you realize that? Really? Most people just accept what they get without any thought of winning, just happy to be alive...Oh, they wish that they would win and sometimes they even win...but they don't have a winner's mindset. See, there are 3 things that you have to do to create a winner's mindset. 1. Plan 2. Prepare 3. Expect.

Sometimes we plan but most of the time we don't plan, or plan to win, because it takes some work to plan. It's said that "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." Cute wording but oh so true!! Yet there we are, just going about our day without planning, and reacting to everything that comes our way. Make a plan. Plan your work and then work your plan.

Be Prepared. The Boy Scout motto that we learned as kids...but do we continue it in our daily work? No, for the most part, we just kind of wing it, don't we. What is it that you are preparing for? Anything? Your next appointment? A new sales call? NO, after a few times, we think that we can just do it without preparation. Preparation creates confidence...and confidence is what makes good things happen for you.

Expectations. I train sales people and always, without a doubt, when I ask them if they expected to make the sale, they reply no. Why is that? They have never been taught that expectations create your reality. In fact, when they don't make the sale, the first thing they say is "I knew it." Talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy!!! They knew they couldn't make the sale, but didn't think that they could make the sale...How screwed up is that?

There are 3 things that you have to create the mindset do to win.

Expecting Little, Getting Little


"The world is full of abundance and opportunity, but far too many people come to the fountain of life with a sieve instead of a tank car... a teaspoon instead of a steam shovel. They expect little and as a result they get little."~Ben Sweetland

Do you realize that the world is full of abundance and opportunity? It is. Stop living in your victimhood and see your abundance and opportunity. Sure, you say, I see my abundance. The challenge is that you don't see all the abundance, you only see a small portion that you feel comfortable with, not total abundance. You are coming with a teaspoon vs. a steam shovel. There is total abundance available for you, but you have to claim it.

It gets back to your expectations. YOUR expectations. If you expect little, you get little. If you expect abundance, you get abundance. So, what are you expecting and why are you expecting so little?  Stop limiting yourself with your thinking.

Horace said "Life is largely a matter of expectation." What is your expectation? I sure hope its as big as you can make it. Don't play small anymore.  You were meant for BIG things!  What BIG things are you thinking about right now?  Go and make it happen.  The world is waiting to see what you have to show everyone.

Exepct More!

"Life... It tends to respond to our outlook, to shape itself to meet our expectations."
~Richard M. DeVos

What are your expectations? Are they for your dreams or are they just enough to get by? Unfortunately, we have been taught to not expect too much because if we don't get it, we will be disappointed. We were taught that by well meaning people but guess what? You can't protect people from disappointment!! It's part of life and it allows us to grow. But most people keep their expectations low.


As a Sales Trainer, I always ask my students when they go to meet a client, if they expect to make a sale. Most of them say no. My answer to them is "Why bother going?" You create your reality with your expectations so always be expecting the best. Sure, you might be disappointed some times but more often than not, you will be rewarded for your expectations!

Just 4 words separate the most successful people in the world from those who struggle to just get by: Expect More ~ Execute Better. Are you expecting more and executing better? Sounds simple, but it's not easy. You have to train your brain to expect more and you also have to work on executing better. Those 4 words are what separate the most successful people from those who are struggling. Expect More ~ Execute Better. Start expecting more NOW!

Danger and Opportunity...Inseperable

"Wherever there is danger, there lurks opportunity; whenever there is opportunity, there lurks danger. The two are inseparable. They go together." ~Earl Nightingale

Danger/Opportunity. Two side of the same coin. the question is, "Do you concentrate on the danger or the opportunity?" Well, which one rules your mind?

Norman Vincent Peale said that "We tend to get what we expect." Are you expecting danger or opportunity? Really?

Opportunities surround us all the time. The key is to be looking for them and not the danger. When your mind is present where you are, you will start to see opportunities everywhere. Be present. NOW. Challenge your brain to see the opportunities!
