Wednesday's Words of Wisdom

Today I am thankful for the men and women who serve and have served in our military.  I grew up in the army and my husband served for 20 years in the army.  I know first hand the hardships and sacrifices military members and their families make, so we can enjoy our freedoms.  Please take time to thank a veteran today!

I continue to work on my self-discipline and I've actually gotten some things done for the shop!  Imagine that!!  So today's words of wisdom are about discipline:

The ability to concentrate and to use your time well is everything if you want to succeed in business – or in anything else, for that matter.  ~Lee Iacocca

Happy Veterans Day!

Wednesday's Words of Wisdom

In an earilier post, I wrote about my lack of focus, organization and self-discipline.  I believe self-discipline is  the key to any endeavor we undertake if it is to be successful.  We can have all the desire in the world to achieve our goals, but without the discipline to carry out the steps to reaching each goal, we will be unsuccessful.  For many, the lack of success leads to failure and failure leads to giving up. 

Today's words of wisdom are for me, but I hope you will be inspired and motivated by them also
"The individual who wants to reach the top in business must appreciate the might and force of habit. He must be quick to break those habits that can break him—and hasten to adopt those practices that will become the habits that help him achieve the success he desires."         ~ J. Paul Getty


"Success is a matter of understanding and religiously practicing specific, simple habits that always lead to success."   ~Robert J. Ringer


Have a wonderful Wednesday!
