Dear
Friends,
My good friend Peter Irvine
has written his first book
'Win In Business'.
It is an amazing book on
what it takes to be
successful in all aspects of
business. Peter is a man who
has a wealth of experience
and who has built a powerful
global franchise. The
fastest way to accelerate
your business is to learn
what what others who are
successful have done, and
implement it into your
business.
Regards
Tony Gattari

Read an extract from
the Book
Have a ‘can do’ attitude
Author and speaker
Chuck Swindoll said, “I believe
the single most significant decision I can make on a day-to-day basis is
my choice of attitude. When my
attitudes are right, there is no barrier too high, no valley too deep,
no dream too extreme, no challenge too great for me.”
An attitude like that is
important to have because there will be friends and associates who will
present you with many reasons why you can’t do
something. At times a staff member would come to me and say, “We’ve got
an impossible situation!” They don’t any more, because my response is
always to sit and review the details of the problem and to find
solutions. They soon realise that there are always options before them.
I believe there are always solutions to any problem.
Some of your
initial ideas may not be the best solutions to your problem, but
your initial ideas extend your thinking and extend the boundaries, and
great solutions end up coming your way. Learn to have a ‘can do’
attitude. The solution may not come immediately, but it will
come. And the more solutions that come your way in the long run will
ultimately define your long-term success.
The story is told of
President Thomas Jefferson and a group
of companions who travelled across the country on horseback. They came
to a river that had overflowed its bank because of a recent downpour.
The river had washed away the bridge, so each rider was forced to cross
on horseback. Each time they crossed that river they fought for their
lives against the current. A stranger stopped on the bank to watch.
After several riders had plunged into the river and made it to safety on
the other side, the stranger turned to President Jefferson and asked if
he would carry him across on his horse. The President agreed without
hesitation. So the man climbed onto the President’s horse and the two of
them crossed the raging torrents to the other side. As the stranger slid
off the horse onto dry ground, one of President Jefferson’s companions
asked him, “Why did you select the President to help you across the
river?” Initially the man was shocked that it was the President who had
helped him cross the river. “All I know,” he said, “is that on some of
your faces was written the answer ‘No’ and on some the answer ‘Yes’. The
President had a ‘Yes’ face.”
A good attitude has a ‘Yes’ face. Do you
have a ‘Yes’ face? Your attitude will determine your success.
So stay the vision; stay on course. When
problems seem insurmountable, when obstacles stop you dead in your
tracks, take counsel from the right people—from
people with a ‘Yes’ face—and keep moving forward. Your focus
and your passion will carry the momentum for you as you circumnavigate
the challenges.
