“Remember to work harder on yourself than you do on your job.”

The Major Key to Your Better Future is You

Of all the things that can have an effect on your future, I believe personal growth is the greatest.

We can talk about sales growth, profit growth, asset growth, but all of this probably will not happen without personal growth. It’s really the open door to it all. In fact, I’d like to have you memorize a most important phrase. Here it is: The major key to your better future is YOU.

Let me repeat that. The major key to your better future is YOU.

Put that someplace you can see it every day, in the bathroom, in the kitchen, at the office, anywhere you can see it every day. The major key to your better future is YOU. Try to remember that every day you live and think about it. The major key is YOU.

Now, there are many things that will help your better future. If you belong to a strong, dynamic, progressive company, that would help. If the company has good products, good services that you are proud of, that would certainly help. If there are good sales aids, that would help. Good training would certainly help. If there is strong leadership, that will certainly help. All of these things will help.

And, of course, if it doesn’t storm, that will help. If your car doesn’t break down, that will help. If the kids don’t get sick, that will help. If the neighbors stay halfway civil, that will help. If your relatives don’t bug you, that will help. If it isn’t too cold, if it isn’t too hot, all these things will help your better future.

And if prices don’t go much higher and if taxes don’t get much heavier, that will help. And if the economy stays stable, these things will all help. We could go on and on with the list, but remember this, the list of things that I’ve just covered and many more—all put together—play a minor role in your better future.

The major key to your better future is you. Lock your mind onto that. This is a super-important point to remember. The major key is you.

A friend of mine is often asked, “How do you develop an above-average income?” He replies:

“Simple. Become an above-average person. Work on you. Develop an above-average handshake. A lot of people want to be successful, and they don’t even work on their handshake. As easy as that would be to start, they let it slide. They don’t understand. Develop an above-average smile. Develop an above-average excitement. Develop an above-average dedication. Develop an above-average interest in other people. To have more, become more.”

Remember to work harder on yourself than you do on your job. For a long time in my life, I didn’t have this figured out.

Strangely enough, with two different people in the same company, one may earn an extra $100 a month, and the other may earn an extra $1,000. What could possibly
