The Power of One.

This is where it all starts.

One person with a dream that is bigger than she is,
and the determination to see it through.

One person who seeks out a mentor,
and devotes themselves to learning.

One person who finds a passion within.

One person with a "can do" attitude,
who gets to work.

One person, one team, one purpose.....

The results are astounding.

One of my mentors of a few years ago used to say,
"if it is to be, it is up to me".

I never really understood that.

I resisted it, because I felt that it wasn't up to me, entirely.
I was at the mercy of everybody on my team, wasn't I?

If they didn't do anything, I still couldn't get where I wanted to be.

This is what has changed for me.

Now I see very clearly that it truly IS up to me.
I stopped worrying about what other people would or would not do.

I started concentrating on my own personal activity.

And working with the people who needed me.

I became much more selective, seeking people who had a dream and a work ethic that matched my own.

Interviewing instead of begging.

Presenting instead of convincing.

I now truly understand, and the results are absolutely astounding.

If you want to break through the barrier that has kept you from success, understand this simple principle....

You can not control the actions of others.

You only have that power over yourself.

Understand that if you don't like the look of your team,
You must change what you are doing.

Only then will you truly break the barrier that is holding you back,
and stand apart in that top 3 %.
