Never Give Up!!!: Seven Secrets to Creating More Success In Your Life

NEVER GIVE UP!!!

Anyone who saw the Dallas Mavericks play the Miami Heat during the 2011 NBA Finals, witnessed how inner will and determination results in triumph.

In Game 2 of the NBA Finals, the Miami Heat was ahead by 15 points with seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, but when the final buzzer rang, they had lost. This was unheard of-Dallas went from embarrassment to triumph. The Miami Heat was primed to take a commanding 2-0 lead in Game 2. Yet, the Dallas Mavericks gained confidence and went on to win three more games in the series and became the NBA World Champions in 2011.

I say to each of you---No matter what you are going through-Never give up! Believe and You Can Achieve! And your dreams can come true!

Even if you don't like basketball, from this series, we all can learn vital success principles:

1. The importance of maintaining a positive attitude.

When The Mavericks were down 15 points in the fourth quarter of the NBA Finals Game with the world watching, it would have been easy for them to hang their head low and go home, end the game with a blow out and say, 'We'll just focus on the next game," but real champions dig deep and continue with the task at hand, focusing on the outcome. Like the Mavericks we must maintain a positive attitude during challenging times.

2. The Importance of continuing to improve yourself.

When faced with a problem, one needs to analyze their strengths and weaknesses and determine strategies for improving their situation. So it was in this game, the Dallas Mavericks re-strategized and won a championship.

Although the NBA Finals are over, the principles that we can apply from this hard fought series can help us achieve our goals in our careers and personal lives. The next time your back is to the wall, think of these principles:

1. Never give up.

2. Keep hustling.

3. Remember, there is no "I" in team (learn to use your support). Often when we have a problem, we see ourselves as the only means of solving it. Yet, we need to realize that everyone has a different skill set.

If we take the time to learn the strengths of others around us, we can use those strengths and operate as a team to accomplish our goals.

4. Be willing to make clutch time decisions.

5. Visualize the goal.

6. Commit.

Although the Dallas Mavericks team was comprised of older players than the Miami Heat, they did not allow the Heat to get them down. They stayed focused on their goals. From them, we can learn, to stay committed to your goals.

7. Learn from your mistakes.

Ironically, the Dallas Mavericks had lost to the Miami Heat previously in 2006, in the sixth game of another NBA final. This time, they learned from their mistakes and they won.

A winning attitude is critical when competing for business, in the classroom, and in personal relationships. Remember, the Dallas Mavericks lost the first game to the Heat and they had also lost a NBA championship to the Heat five years previously.

People who attain success learn to forget the failures of the past and to use them as steppingstones. That's why I believe in order to overcome any adversity, it takes PAIN(sm)-Positive Attitude, Interest in Improving self and Never giving up.

The next time you feel as though the odds are against you, please apply these success principles and know that you too, can be successful.

Re: Charge what you're worth - [quote="Tami Szabo":292ze3jd]People will pay you what you ask. Very few will ever up the price. You are the one who decided what you are worth. The key is that we believe our services are worth the price we are asking.[/quote:292ze3jd] Hi Tami, You're absolutely right. In "Think and Grow Rich", Jessie B. Rittenhouse says "For Life is a just employer, He gives you what you ask, But once you have set the wages, Why, you must bear the task. I worked for a menial's hire Only to learn, dismayed , That any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have willingly paid" (Napoleon Hill 35). I think the same can be said when setting prices on eBay or Craigslist, especially when people are trying to haggle you.
Re: Have a Security Clearance Question? But are afraid to ask? - I think I've already addressed your topic in another forum or thread, but I think the easiest way to generate additional traffic to your web site is to provide content that is fresh, new, and insightful. Give users a reason to access your web site besides purchasing your services. Give them a reason to gain knowledge and they will come back and give you business when they can. Good luck in your campaign, and I hope everything turns out for you! One question I have is do security clearances check your family information as well (family criminal offences, etc).
Re: Can you outsource your product launch? - Yes that what I am talking about. Creating a buzz for your online product launch basically. Is this part of what you do?
