5 secrets to success in any business or endeavor

Success is allusive to most. Most people eek out life on earth. How can you find success? Here are 5 secrets to success:

1. Know that Most People don't have ideas as they have either been conditioned or they have conditioned themselves to not be creative.
2. Know that when you have an idea on average 5 others have the same idea at the same time
3. Know that most who have that idea wont act on it.
4. When acting on your idea the keys to success are Persevere and be consistent and you will win.
5. Finally, don't run unless you intend to run to win.

Be brave and strong and blessed to be a blessing, Eric Standlee Ps 16:3 Lk 16:9

Mindset Notes

This was too good not to share:

We estimated our expected tithe. It was unusual, but we estimated the amount of income we wanted for the next year. Then, starting in January, we tithed on that amount monthly. (We estimated the income, divided it by twelve, and tithed that mount). Guess what? At the end of the year that amount of our business profit was exactly what we had estimated.


The next year we increased our estimated income, and we tithed on that increased amount each month. That year, the same thing happened; we made that income. The third year, we increased the estimate again. But something went wrong. We blew a fuse! We made far more profit than the estimated amount.


God surprised us. He is wonderfully exciting. Over the years, He has surprised us again and again.


We are saved by faith. We are healed by faith. We get answers to prayers by faith. Our finances are blessed because of faith. God blesses our homes and families because of our faith.


As my friend, the late Dr. Edwin Cole, once said, "Faith never limits God, and God never limits faith."


Don't allow low expectations. Lack of expectancy is evidence of little faith. Faithlessness is irreverent. The element of expectancy is the basic DNA of faith. Things seen are temporary and subject to change.


"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." II Cor. 4:18


Faith is not 'trying' to believe; faith never 'tries'. Faith speaks. Faith commands. Faith expects. Faith receives. Faith refuses to compromise. Faith praises. Faith doesn't waver. Faith wins!

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria: How Do You See Yourself?

God loves you and don't you let anyone tell you otherwise!

Today's Scripture

"As a man thinks in his heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7).

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

Your imagination is extremely powerful. God created you as a visual being. Choosing the right images in your mind's eye is important because your life will move in the direction of your thoughts. The way you see yourself in your mind's eye, over time, will drop down into your heart and become your reality. If you'll create a picture in your imagination of something you want, or a dream coming to pass and keep it in front of you, then you will move in that direction. I encourage you to get up every morning and picture yourself succeeding! Picture yourself healthy and whole! Picture yourself and your family not only being blessed, but being a bigger blessing to others. If you'll keep the right images in front of you, and always submit yourself to the Lord through prayer and thanksgiving, you'll move forward into the life of victory God has promised you.

A Prayer for Today

Heavenly Father, I come to You today and submit every area of my mind and heart to You. Search my heart and show me what images I need to change in my mind. Thank You for equipping me with everything I need to live a life pleasing to You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Fwd: YOU ARE WHAT YOU REPEATEDLY DO

I wanted to share this tid-bit of wisdom:



  The beginning of a habit is like an invisible thread.
  Every time you repeat the act you strengthen the strand.
  You add to it another filament with each repetition,
  until it becomes a great cable
  and binds you irrevocably to each thought and act.

  First you make your habits
  and then they make you.

  Your thoughts lead you to your purpose.
  Your purpose always manifests into action.
  Your actions form your habits.
  Your habits determine your character,
  and your character fixes your destiny.

  Your habits are either the best of servants or the worst of
  master.

YOU'RE IN CHARGE OF YOU

---

 
While your character is formed by circumstances,
your own desires can do much to shape those circumstances.
Thus, you have the power over the formation of your own character.
You're the master of your fate and the captain of your soul.

Nature is at work around you.
Your character and destiny are her handiwork.
She gives you love and hate, jealousy and reverence.
You have the power to choose which impulse you will follow.

You can at any time decide to alter the course of your life.
No one can ever take that away from you.
You're the master of your joys and your sorrows.

The greatest power you possess is the power to choose.
