Why Our Thoughts Really Matter

“Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. Thoughts are things! And powerful things at that, when mixed with definiteness of purpose, and burning desire, can be translated into riches." ~ Napoleon Hill

Thoughts are things. Real things! There is no achievement of man that did not first begin as a thought. There is nothing you can achieve as a human being without your thinking making it so. As a man thinks, so he is. Presently, the status of your business, your life and your living are direct products of how you think.

Do you own a car? Even if you don’t, at least you ride on cars. What about trains and airplanes you see everyday? Do you know how they work? The good news is that all these marvelous things came about as a result of the thinking of people. Real people just like you. Just think about that. It is thoughts which are transformed into tangible things which make our life and living worthwhile. Now that is marvelous!! You too can translate your thoughts into things and your life will be much better for it.

Why Every Business Must Render a Service

 “A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business.” ~ Henry Ford

Money is an exchange for a product or service. If you want to succeed in business, you must set out to render a service first and money follows as a consequence. When your business makes nothing but money, you are in a very poor business. A business must first and foremost find a way to make people, shape the environment, and help the economy before it considers making money for the owners. Mr. Ray Kroc advanced this argument more succinctly when he wrote: “If you work just for money, you’ll never make it, but if you love what you’re doing and you always put the customer first, success will be yours.” This is the order of priority our civilization expects.

"There is no investment you can make which will pay you so well as the effort to scatter sunshine and good cheer through your establishment." So says Orison Swett Marden. Your team always likes that and people in the team show appreciation by working harder. When you build your people, they will help you build your business in return. If you make your central policy the building of people, making money becomes a given when the people you have built begin to help build your business. There are limits to what you can do as a person, but what a team can do is limitless. That is more so when the team is well built, dedicated and motivated.
