I recently read 'You're Hired: How to Succeed in Business and Life' by Bill Rancic. He's the guy that won one of the seasons of The Apprentice with Donald Trump show; the book is an interesting and fun read. Highlighting just a few of the points mentioned:
* Your credibility is your greatest asset
* Where there is no risk, there is no reward
* Start where you want to finish; visualize yourself at the top of whatever mountain you're hoping to scale
* Get a good night's sleep!
* Celebrate your achievements
* Build relationships
* Trust your instincts
* Strive >> Push, Reach, Hustle
* Think outside the box
* Nothing is impossible
* If you're going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big
* If you've run through all the goals and challenges in one arena, look to another; reload
* If you fall in lockstep with everyone else, you'll never get ahead. Break from the pack!
And the three I like best:
* Pursue your passion!
* Develop a contrarian view >> if you think like most people, then you probably ARE like most people!
* Think smarter, work harder, want it more!
