Success Tip: A New Start

Filed under: Success Tips, Videos



My name is Walt Cameron, I am America’s Dream Coach and I want to share with you our “Success Tip of the Week” which is, there is always an opportunity to make a new start.

Though it may not seem so when you first encounter a serious obstacle in your path to success, you must never lose two of the most important assets you have.

These twin assets are the power of your mind and your ability to use it.

Once you have used them to understand what happened to create that obstacle, you can only then
begin developing a new plan to overcome it.

You may not have the money you once had or you may not have the contacts you had developed. But you still have the benefit of living in a country that eventually rewards honest effort, as well as gaining the experience of making mistakes you will never make again.

Remember, no matter where you are now, whatever your mind can conceive and believe, you can and you will achieve that dream of your predetermined goal.

This is a wonderful lesson for all of you to embrace. I know many of you are struggling in this time of economic challenges. You may have lost your job or maybe you are in fear of losing it.

Maybe you are facing financial hurdles in your business. All these challenges are facing many other Americans today as well.

You are definitely not alone. Don’t forget that. Historically, in our country, even in the worst of
economic times, even during the Great Depression of 1929, opportunities were available for those who were ready and able to have the vision and the purpose to recognize that opportunity….

Some of the very successful people we have interviewed on our show and in the book I wrote, “Yes! The American Dream is Alive and Well” , shared the challenges they faced and overcame while pursuing their American Dream. And they told us that, looking back on their life, the best thing that ever happened to them was being fired or losing their job. They continued that, as long as they had that “safety net” of a job and a regular paycheck, they weren’t taking the time to explore other doors of opportunity. For example, maybe even considering starting their own business.

In times like these, our success lesson today becomes even more valuable. And it all comes down to this, when you have the potential for success within you, adversity and temporary setbacks only help you prepare to reach even greater levels of success.

Because, without challenges, you would never develop the qualities of being of real service to your clients, maintaining a positive mindset, always doing the right thing and the perseverance to reach and sustain ongoing success.

Folks, the rest is up to you. Are you ready to create your own story of success in achieving your dream ?

IF you are, then go ahead, make a decision right now to be a part of pursuing your dream!

And once you decide to step on that path toward achieving your dream, never ever give up!

Live your American Dream! And I want to help you make that happen!

And, if you want to hear more about how to reach your dream and hear more successful stories of folks just like the one you’re going to have, just go to:

Success Tip: Travel The Extra Mile

Filed under: Success Tips, Videos


Hello, my name is Walt Cameron and I’m Americans’ Dream Coach!
Let’s talk about our “Success Tip of the Week” which is, the quality of the service you provide your clients, together with your positive attitude, determines how much value you add to your clients, and, as a result, what you get back from them!

Let’s see how this works. People who are promoted to important positions in any business are usually the ones who are known to go the extra mile, accomplish more than they are expected, exceed their job description, and always do it with a perpetually positive approach!
Those who always travel that extra mile are also known for determining their own destiny in terms of fulfilling their dream. When you combine this extra effort with the very important character trait of perseverance, you will be known as someone who can always be counted on to complete the task no matter how many obstacles you encounter along the way. Because those that know you believe that, with your constantly determined and positive mindset, failure is simply not an option for you.

Many CEO’s of some of our largest corporations have acquired these attributes over the course of their successful careers. They are known among their subordinates as the ultimate “go to” person. The one that can always be counted on to solve any problem or complete any job!
Most people simply aren’t motivated enough in the pursuit of their goals to expend any extra effort whatsoever. They want to do their job well enough to keep it and, maybe even, if they are around long enough without making any major mistakes, will earn a promotion or two. But, extra effort? Never! This is a foreign concept to less driven and unmotivated individuals.

And, of course, because of most peoples’ lack of willing to do more than is expected of them, the one who always applies the extra effort and goes the extra mile, easily stands out and separates himself from the rest of the crowd. It makes it pretty easy when the Board of Directors is looking for that New President who can lead the company to an even better future.

The good news for those of you who are American Dreamers and never give up your dream is that the Road along the extra mile is never crowded. You see, if you really want to be successful in whatever you choose to do in your life, the path of least resistance is, in reality, the path that others will never take. When you find a way to stand out from that crowd and always be the one that walks that extra mile, you’ll always achieve your goal and, the unadvertised bonus will always be, you’ll never know who you might meet on that very uncrowded road to success!
Well. There you have it, another valuable Success Tip to add to your arsenal of tools to help you live your American Dream! And I want to continue to help you make that happen by sharing with you more examples of how to add value to what you do!

Success Tip: It’s Ok To Make A Mistake!

Our “Weekly Success Tip” is designed to help all of you who are in the process of achieving your American Dream.  We want to help you stay focused on your dream and it’s successful completion.

Our lesson today comes  from one of my favorite authors Napolean Hill who,  at the beginning of the 20th century, interviewed the most successful people in our country at the time, men like Dale Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller and Henry Ford.  He put all these interviews in a book titled “Think and Grow Rich” which has become one of the best selling books on success ever written.

Mr.Hill said that “Success requires no explanation”.  However, “Failures must be doctored with alibis”.

The surest way to gain approval in any company is to be successful.  Unfortunately, in the real world, it doesn’t always work out like that.

Because, no matter how much time you spend studying something, no matter how many  good decisions you make, no matter how prepared you are, you will inevitably make mistakes.

Because that is what we all do sooner or later in the process of achieving our success.

I have never interviewed anyone on “Our American Dream Show” who had achieved their dream who had not made any mistakes.  And, it will never happen!

You must recognize and then accept  this bad news.  You will make mistakes!  However, the good news is that you are always able to take a step back, take a look, and analyze what happened.  Then, you will be sure that you never make that mistake again.  You learn from it, you file it in your memory, and then you move forward!

All the successful people I’ve ever interviewed agree that no obstacle, no hurdle, and no challenge is ever a reason to give up your dream.

Always remember what Winston Churchill said, “Success is never permanent and failure is not  fatal .it is the courage to continue that counts!”

What Mr. Hill and Sir Winston are telling us that, as long as we learn something from our mistake or our failure and, in the process, we vow never to repeat  it and we don’t give up, then we are able to keep working toward achieving our American Dream, one small step at a time!

Remember, we are committed to helping you achieve your dream!

 

 


Success Tip: George Patton Strategy

Walt Cameron    Comments Off on Success Tip: George Patton Strategy
Filed under: Success Tips, Videos


In a recent call with one of my coaching client, I was discussing  the need to“Take Action”.

I mentioned General George Patton, the greatest armored tank General in WWII, who once said, “A good plan violently executed NOW is better than a perfect plan executed next week.”

Did you know that Patton competed  in the first Pentathlon in the 1912 summer Olympics,
finishing 5th overall and 3rd in fencing.

After the Olympics, Patton studied with the greatest swordsman in Europe because he wanted to be the best swordsman he could possibly be!

This training resulted in Patton becoming the US Army’s youngest ever “Master of the Sword”, the Army’s best swordsman!

Unfortunately, for Patton, the nature of war soon changed, making saber cavalry units obsolete. But Patton didn’t get upset and resign his commission, he embraced the change by adapting his infamous “move forward and attack” saber techniques for use with the Army’s new armored (tank) combat units.  He used these techniques to win key battles against the German Panzer Tank Divisions and help American win WWII!

Now, the question you are probably asking is, how can I apply these lessons that General Patton learned to my own business?

The first is pretty obvious , TAKE ACTION!  Don’t sit around analyzing things to death.  I call this “mental paralysis “.  Get your product or service develop and finished.  Then start marketing it!  You can always make improvements based upon your customer feedback.

Second, you need to LEARN FROM THE BEST!  Find out who is implementing a successful strategy you would like to duplicate, then learn everything you can about what they are doing and how they are doing it!

Third, you must learn to ADAPT!   Every business is certainly different.  However, you can adapt and implement what you learned to your own business and improve it!

As fellow Entrepreneurs and as part of any path you are following to achieve your American Dream, you need to “Take Action”, ”Learn From the Best” and be able to “Adapt” what you learned!

The rest is up to you!

The only question you have to ask yourself is this,  are you ready to create your own story of success in achieving your dream?

Well then, make a decision right now to be a part of pursuing your dream!

Maybe it’s the one you’ve put on hold for way too long, maybe now is the time to make your move.

Become informed!  Get involved!   You cqan make a difference to others, your family and yourself!

And once you decide to step on that path toward your dream, never, ever give up, no matter what obstacle or challenge gets in your way!

Live your American Dream!  And I want to help you make that happen.
