Dana White Quotes

Lesson #1: Look To A Need That Is Right Under Your Nose
“Before Baby Einstein, I was an English major in college and after that I was a teacher in high school and left when I had my first baby,” says Aigner-Clark. “At that time, there was nothing that existed that was fun educational videos for babies. That is when I realized that there was a need in the market place and best of all I was my own customer.”

Lesson #2: Be Able to Say “I did it My Way”
No matter where young Tajiri went as a boy, it seemed he never quite fit in. He collected insects when most of his friends were cramming for college. He spent his money playing video games when most of the other kids were saving up. And, he always remained just a little bit to himself.

Are Sales Tools the Solution?
When your salespeople focus and play with the tools instead of using the tools to support their selling efforts, the tools become part of the problem. Am I suggesting a 15-hour work day?

Retirement Is Not The Goal, Entrepreneurism Is

Most working men and women over the age of 50 start thinking about retirement, and many start planning for it. They do their due diligence on investment strategies, position themselves well in their companies, review their estate planning, and so on. While each individual step in retirement planning in amongst itself is sound advice, the main question to ask during this transitional phase in their lives is, "What is the goal?" Retirement should not be the goal. Retirement limits your potential to positively impact the lives of others. Owning a simple yet fully principled internet business where you are the centerpiece of leadership is the key to getting all the benefits of retirement, with the added advantages of residual income and a source of true happiness for you and your family.

Slow Down to Make MORE Money

If you are sick of twittering till your thumbs fall off, facebooking and blogging until you have a headache, and networking neurotically, you have to read this article! I can't tell you the number of entrepreneurs I speak to who will tell me all they are doing to "chase success" and then ask, "What else should I be doing?" While I admire their stamina, the truth is that their schedules are already staggering. They already have so much going on, it made me tired just listening to it! But we are ALL busy these days. And if we are NOT experiencing success, doesn't it make sense that we should ADD something to the equation? Not always. Sometimes (most of the time) MORE is simply too much! Sometimes (most of the time) we need to slow down... to make more money, to accomplish more, to succeed wildly!

Book Review: Buy-ology
Marketing is not yet a science, which means that thereâ€™s no guarantee that â€œif you take this action, youâ€™ll get this resultâ€.

What You Think is What You Do (and Who You Are)

Most people when they want to figure things out or change what is going on in their lives tend to focus on the external…the doing. They say to themselves, “What do I need to be doing differently?” When the question should be, “How am I thinking about this situation?” Anything we do in the ‘external’ has its genesis in our brains…the internal. Whatever is happening outside of us in our lives is a reflection of what is going on inside of us…specifically, inside our brains. So if we want to change, we need to focus first on how we think about it…whatever it is. How are we connecting the dots and how can we build new hardwiring so that we can travel a different road to where we actually want to go instead of the old road that keeps dumping us off in the same place that isn’t working for us.

Natural Motivation (Surround yourself with the right people)

The decisions we make will be a result of the information that we have and our perception of the world. Both this information and this perception will be due to the people that have been a part of our lives. However, a lot of us like to consider ourselves as independent beings that make our own decisions. I do not see these two trains of thoughts as being mutually exclusive. By that I mean we do have the power to make independent decisions but that decision will be the outcome of the impact that other people have had on our life. The overall message is to surround yourself with people who will help provide you with the inform

How To Grow Your Business Through Speaking

One of the leading entrepreneurs in Los Angeles says, "If you are not getting results by speaking, you need to take responsibility as the marketing director of your business and learn how to do it effectively. The biggest problem I have seen is the resistance business owners have with spending time and money getting the entrepreneurial training needed to increase their results. TOO many business owners think they should intuitively know how to write their marketing materials, AND SPEAK IN PUBLIC. Writing advertising copy and verbal expertise is not a skill we are born with. It is a learned ability. So if you don't know how to get the networking or sales response you need, either hire someone who can do it effectively or learn how from an expert. THE CONTRARY IS COSTING YOU MORE BUSINESS THAN YOU EVEN REALIZE."

Are You a Human Being or a Human Doing?
What's this personal time for? Anything other than work. Remember that gym membership? This is when you can actually use it. Or get a massage, visit a museum, browse the bookstore, or have lunch with a friend. This is [a part of] the time that will make you a well-rounded, interesting human being rather than a worker-bee "human doing."

Asset - Thinking about the Needs of Others

On ABC’s Primetime segment “What Would You Do?” we watch as many men and women walk by individuals in their time of need. We rationalize in our minds that we should not get involved in other people’s business. We allow fear to grip and paralyze us from taking some type of action. No matter what the situation we must use wisdom in dealing with it. However, we can do something can’t we? It is pure selfishness on our part if we see someone being abused in some way or hurting and not do anything about it. We can at least do something.
