DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH FUEL TO WIN?

THE FUEL OF HIGHER MEANING
If you dedicate your life to a higher cause than yourself, you will never want to stop contributing. Create enough meaning and you will create enough energy. If you limit the meaning of your work to money, you will soon run out of energy.

THE FUEL OF JOY
Never miss an opportunity to create joy for others. Decide today that it won’t hurt you to smile more often or to share a laugh with a client. Life is much more than doing business. If you put more fun into your work, you will get more fun out of your work.

THE FUEL OF LEADERSHIP
Seek out good leaders. Allow them to stretch your abilities. Store away their lessons and use them as a fuel reserve to get through tough times.

THE FUEL OF GOALS
Goals are the architects of hope. If you run out of goals, all other cylinders will inevitably grind to a halt. Lack of hope inevitably leads to depress.

THE FUEL OF TEAMWORK
The days of the lone ranger are history. Today’s winners are part of a successful team. If you help other people win, you will have a team of people helping you win.

THE FUEL OF REWARDS
Enjoy the fruits of success, share the credit with your team and preserve the lessons you learned from each victory. Maintain an attitude of gratitude. View each peak performance as a refueling stop from which you can launch your next success.
