High Performing Mindset
Slide 15: 1. Desire The motivation to succeed comes from the burning desire to achieve a purpose. Napoleon Hill wrote, "Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.”
Slide 16: A burning desire is the starting point of all accomplishment. Just like a small fire cannot give much heat, a weak desire cannot produce great results.
Slide 17: 2. Commitment Integrity and wisdom are the two pillars on which to build and keep commitments. Desire
Slide 18: 3. Responsibility People with character accept responsibilities. They make
decisions and determine their own destiny in life. Desire Commitment
Slide 19: Accepting responsibilities involves taking risks and being accountable which is sometimes uncomfortable.
Slide 20: Most people would rather stay in their comfort zone and live passive lives without accepting responsibilities. They drill through life waiting for things to happen rather than making them happen.
Slide 21: Responsible people don't think that the world owes them a living.
Slide 22: 4. Hard Work Excellence is not something that you run into by accident. It takes a lot of preparation and character. Desire Commitment Responsibility
Slide 23: Everyone likes to win but how many are willing to put in the Effort and Time to prepare to win? It takes sacrifice and self-discipline.
Slide 24: Discipline takes self-control, sacrifice, and avoiding distractions and temptations. It means staying focused. Steam does not move the engine unless it is confined. Niagara Falls would not generate power unless it were harnessed.
Slide 25: 5. Positive Believing Positive believing is a lot more than positive thinking. It is having a reason to believe that positive thinking will work. Desire Commitment Responsibility Hard Work
Slide 26: Positive believing is an attitude of confidence that comes with preparation. Having a positive attitude without making the effort is nothing more than having a wishful dream.
Slide 27: Persistence means commitment and determination. It is a commitment to finish what you start. 6. The Power of Persistence Responsibility Desire Commitment Hard Work Positive Believe
Slide 28: When we are exhausted, quitting, looks good. But winners endure. Ask a winning athlete. He endures pain and finishes what he started. Lots of failures have begun well but have not concluded anything.
Slide 29: Persistence comes from purpose. Life without purpose is drifting.
A person who has no purpose will never persevere and will never be fulfilled.
Slide 30: 7. Pride of Performance Excellence comes when the performer takes pride in doing his best. Responsibility Desire Commitment Hard Work Positive Believe The Power of Persistence
Slide 31: Pride of performance does not represent ego. It represents pleasure with humility. The quality of the work and the quality and the worker are inseparable. Half-hearted effort does not produce half results; it produces no results.
Slide 32: Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it, regardless of what the job is, whether washing cars, sweeping the floor or painting a house. Pride comes from within, which is what gives the winning edge.
