- Develop the skill of courage – doing the thing you’re afraid of; “If you do the thing you fear then the death of fear is certain” – Emerson
- “Courage comes after forcing yourself to act as if you were brave…”
- The Principles taught in every military school creates victory or defeat and can be applied in business, life, and sales;
- Principle #1: The principle of the Objective and how it applies to life, business, and sales – Be Crystal Clear on what you want and what you are striving for;
- Principle #2: “The principle of the offensive to go on to the attack and keep moving forward;
- Principle #3: The principle of the mass – to concentrate your forces on those few objectives where massive results are possible (set priorities and concentrate your activities to get the best results with the least amount of effort);
- Break down the largest goal into the smallest step; Be clear on the goal, write down every step to get there (resource, information, money), and then organize your plan in a sequence and priority, then take the first step, second and so on;
- You can accomplish almost anything in the world if you just take it one step at a time; Taking the first step that is critical;
- There’s always a skill tied to every goal (maybe more than one skill); If you want accomplish something you’ve never accomplished before, you’re going to have to develop skill you’ve never developed before; you’re going to have to become really excellent at doing something you haven ‘t been excellent before; You have to think if this is my goal, what is the skill I need to achieve that goal; Identify the skill; just as you make a plan to achieve the goal, make a plan to develop the skill. You work on them simultaneously;
- Principle #4: Maneuver – Be clear about your goal and be flexible about the means of accomplishing it; No strategy ever survives the first contact with the enemy; Be willing to except feedback and go in a different direction;
- “Everyone has a plan until they get hit” –Mike Tyson
- “Never consider the possibility of failure – simultaneously avoid the negative people who will tear down your dreams and goals”;
- How to create a winning environment: The choice of a wrong mate in life can be more destructive of your potential than anything else;
- If you are good at what you do, you can go anywhere, companies are desperate to find great people;
- Great rules of success: People don’t change. If it doesn’t meet your values, go somewhere else;
- Discover the Strategy Brian will teach YOU to earn twice as much;
- Principle #5: Intelligence: find out what the enemy and competition is doing- continually upgrade your knowledge and skills and be committed to personal excellence;
- One of the greatest time management tools ever developed: Personal Excellence (If you’re really good at what you do, you get paid twice as much as others who are good;
- “Decide what you need to be excellent at and then set as a goal and work on it every day”;
- How to compound your results and outcomes with less effort;
- “Of all the things you do, what is it that you do that contributes the greatest value to your work and pays you the most and if you could only do 1 thing all day long, what 1 thing would it be? How can you organize your life so you’re doing that all day long and you’re doing that very well – make a plan and work on it!”;
- “The Great tragedy in human life is that most people are LAZY”;
- “The good is the enemy of the excellent – Many people are reasonably good at a few things and so they just stop there and coast, whereas they don’t realize if they just put in the extra effort – and whether it takes a week a month, a year, it doesn’t’ matter – once you get to that higher realm and you’re in the top 10% in your field, the rewards are 5 and 10 times as much as being in the middle”;
- “Mediocrity is the highest degree of poor”;
- Why Completion and Closure are two of the most important principles of success;
- Double your Productivity: #1 Make a list of everything you have to do before you begin; #2: If I could only do one thing on this list, before being called out of town for a month, which ONE would I want to complete – begin on that task; #3: Discipline to stay on that task until it’s complete;
- The 3 D’s: Document, Duplicate, and Delegate to create momentum;
- And much, much, more…
