Do more, receive more

People who engage in work that they love best do not always have the support, in this choice of the people closest to them.

Find something you love to do and you'll never have to work a day in your life.
-Harvey Mackay

When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, til it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.
-Harriet Beecher Stowe

"No man is a failure who creates a single idea, much less an entire philosophy that serves to soften the disappointments and minimize the hardships of generations yet unborn"

There are many sound reasons why you should develop the habit of performing more and better service that that for which you are paid.

Two reasons, which transcends all others in their importance

First, by establishing a reputation as being a person who does this, you will benefit by comparison with those around you benefit by comparison with those around you who do not render such service, and the contrast will be so noticeable that there will be keen competition for your services, no matter what your life's work may be.

Second, and by far the most important reason is basic and fundamental in nature. Suppose that you wished to develop a strong right arm, and suppose that you tried to do so by tying your arm to your side to give it a long rest. Would disuse bring strength or would it bring atrophy and weakness?

You know that if you wanted a strong right arm you would develop it only by exercising and working it harder. Out of resistance comes strength. The strongest tree in the forest is not the one that is protected from the storm and hidden from the sun, but the one that stands in the open, where it is compelled to struggle for its existence against the winds and rains and scorching sun.

The purpose of this lesson is to show you how to harness this law of nature that struggle and resistance develop strength and use it to aid you in your struggle for success.
By performing the habit of doing more than paid for, you will eventually develop sufficient strength to enable you to remove yourself from any undesirable station in life, and no one can or will desire to stop you.

If your employer should be so unfortunate as to try to pay you less than  you are worth, that won't last long; Other employers will discover your unusual quality and offer you employment.

The very fact that most people are rendering as little service as they can possibly get by with serves as an advantage to those who are rendering more service.
You can "get by" if you render as little service as possible, but that is all you will get; and when work is slack and retrenchment sets in, you will be one of the first to be dismissed.

No man, who continues to add something to the material, intellectual, and moral well-being of the place in which he lives, is left long without proper reward.
-Booker T. Washington

Those who do observe this principle are rewarded with a greater material gain than those who do not. They also gain happiness and satisfaction that comes only to those who render such service. If you receive no pay except that which comes in your pay envelope, you are underpaid, no matter how much money that envelope contains.

Maximizing Your Profits with Scoring

SETTING YOUR MAXIMUM INTRADAY TRADING LOSS First things first: set a max intraday trading loss. There will be days when you just do not have it. Why do you think coaches pull their players when they are not playing well? They are more harmful on the field than off. When you are underperforming, you are hurting your team and your trading business. You need a system to yank yourself over to the bench. A stop loss is your answer. TRADING BASED UPON THE TIME OF DAY A good trader makes note of what time of day it is, when he trades most profitably, and adjusts his trading to fit such times. Your numbers at the end of the month will not reflect your true trading potential. Make the most trades with the most size during the trading periods that statistically are most profitable for you. Money saved during your weaker trading periods is money earned. Consistency The fact is that most trades you make will start working for you right away. But the new traders also hold stocks that are trading ag...

So what is your money blueprint set for?

Are you programmed for managing your money well or mismanaging it? Are you a spender or a saver ? Wealth principle: The only way to permanently change the temperature in the room is to reset the thermostat. In the same way, the only way to change your level of financial success "permanently" is to reset your financial thermostat. You can become an expert in real estate or the stock market. All of these are tremendous "tools." But in the end, without an inner "tool-box" that is big enough and strong enough for you to create and hold on to large amounts of money, all the tools in the world will be useless to you. Your income can grow only to the extent that you do. Remember that the first element of all change is awareness.Watch yourself, become conscious, observe your thoughts, your fears, your beliefs, your habits, your actions, and even your inactions. Put yourself under a microscope. Study yourself. Wealth principle: Consciousness is observin...

Wealth File #4 Rich people think big. Poor people think small

Wealth principle: The law of Income: You will be paid in direct proportion to the value you deliver according to the marketplace. The keyword is value. It's important to know that four factors determine your value in the marketplace: supply,demand,quality and quantity. The factor that presents the biggest challenge for most people is the quantity. The quantity factor simply means, how much of your value do you actually deliver to the marketplace? Another way of stating this is, how many people do you actually serve or affect? Most people choose to play small. Why? First, because of fear. They're scared to death of failure and they're even more frightened of success. Second, people play small because they feel small. They feel unworthy. They don't feel they're good enough or important enough to make a real difference in people's lives. But hear this: your life is not just about you. It's also about contributing to others. It's about living true...
