Willie Jolley’s Business Building TIP!

On my desk is a sign that states that, “Winners make things happen and Losers let things happen!” Some people state it a little differently, they say, “Some people make things happen, other people watch what happened, and then the rest stand around and ask, “What happened?”” Whatever way you want to say it, the truth remains that those who are winners are those who make a determined decision to make things happen!

When asked what keeps you from being a success, most people respond by saying, the government, or the economy, or their families and some blame the “isms” of life, you know—sexism, racism, ageism, etc. But the one thing that most people avoid in their list, is that which is most important— it is the person we see everyday in the mirror—it is us! We are the main obstacles to our success in life!

It has been stated, and I believe it is true, that success follows the 80-20 rule. As in corporate success there is an 80/20 dynamic at play that states that 80% of the work usually comes from 20% of the people. In personal achievement we are responsible for 80% of our failure to hit our goals and outside obstacles are only 20% of the problem. The old African proverb states, “If you can overcome the enemy on the inside, the enemy on the outside can do you no harm!” Or as Pogo said, “We have found the enemy and he is US!” Whatever way you say it, we must be brutally honest and come to the realization that we are the biggest challenge to our own success! So it is true that if you want to win you must stop letting things happen, and start making things happen! Remember, when all is said and done, much more is said than done—so let’s go get it done! Today make a commitment to overcome yourself, so you can reach your goals. So today, let’s go “Make It Happen!”

God Bless You!
