When you fail to get the desired results, what's the first thing you must do? Take credit for it.
If you don't take credit, you don't learn the extremely valuable lesson for which you've just paid dearly. If you don't take credit and own your failures, you'll continue to experience more of them.
Instead, go ahead and take complete credit and ownership of your failures. Because when you take full ownership of your failures, you fully empower yourself to successfully get beyond them.
What you own, you control. When you choose to own your results, then you put yourself in control of those results.
When you own your results, you can decide what those results will be. And they can be whatever you wish to make them.
Admit your failures, take credit for them, embrace them, and own them. When you willingly take responsibility and ownership even for the failures, you're positioned for magnificent success.

Sakiya Sandifer and Ronn Torrossian interview.
In the BMT series, the objective is to have a conversation based around the same 3 questions with various people who are successful in their field. The goal is to reveal that behind every success...there is a business mind thinking!
BMT Episode 2 features the very successful and equally blunt Ronn Torossian, Founder/CEO of 5W Public Relations. 5W Public Relations is a full-service public relations firm maintaining practice areas in consumer, technology, health and wellness, entertainment, lifestyle, fashion, and corporate communications. 5WPR's energetic, fast-paced, and focused culture earned the firm a spot on the INC. 500 list in 2007 and the title of "fastest-growing agency" three years in a row.
Brace yourself to hear an exchange of ideas that's never presented on a typical network or cable business show. If you ever longed to hear a very honest and mostly unedited perspective on how the mind of a successful entrepreneur really thinks, this episode is tailored made for you!!!

Louis Lautman - an article about making it happen.
The YES Movie
Louis Lautman, producer.
Louis relates how his attitude got this project up and running.
I woke up last year on my 30th birthday and thought to myself that there had to be more. I knew I was an entrepreneur, but wondered if I was still a young entrepreneur. I had always gravitated toward other young successful people and others always wondered how I did so much at such a young age, but I knew I had more in me. I thought about all the amazing young people I had met over the years, then started researching more and thought that there were some amazing stories out there that I bet most of the world didn’t know about and would love to hear.
I wondered what would be the best way to get the stories out about these amazing young geniuses, then it hit me…make a movie. I loved the idea, only…I had never made a movie before or even knew how. But I knew I could do anything in this world and if I let this chance pass me by, I would never get over it.
I am all about taking action and seizing opportunity and I knew that this is where my path was meant to go…or at least I said so! I believe you don’t find your destiny, but de-fine your destiny.
I began to intensely research every aspect of the film world, from pre-production to post production to marketing to distribution and everything in between.
I was like a mad scientist researching around the clock as if I was coming up with a cure for cancer and after about 2 months of research, I began the pre-production phase of the YES movie. I could have been nervous, but I decided to be excited, at every step of the way from interviewing production companies to arranging our shots to setting up a 3 month tour of the United States of America.
I was fired up and ready to meet the nations most successful young self-made multi-millionaires. As the production crew and I took off around the country, I look back and think about all the amazing people I met along the way and each person taught me so much about business and life and true happiness. As a first time film producer, I felt very happy that I made it to the production phase. Many filmmakers and people who want to start their own business never see their dream come to fruition for many reasons, but the biggest excuse I hear is that they don’t have the money.
I can tell you that “WHATEVER your dream is, there is always money out there to make it a reality!” If you want coaching on how to find the funds, you will have to watch our movie, www.theYESmovie.com. I can tell you that everything went perfect if I wanted, because I believe that everything did…however, that is not to say that things didn’t go over budget, we got lost, we missed appointments, we missed flights, equipment broke, we were stuck in traffic, blah, blah, blah, blah!
None of that matters, what matters is that I spent 3 months on the road and got the footage that I needed and It Rocked. So as we went into the post-production phase, I was fortunate to hook up with Emmy-Award winning writer Robyn Symon and Lifestyle Production guru Bernard Bonomo. With this awesome combination, our film was sure to be “World Class.”
Again, I could tell you about the challenges in the relationship or re-arranging our schedules or losing data in computer crashes and the challenges of setting the strategy to make this the best film ever made on the topic of young entrepreneurship, but as you will learn when you watch the film is that successful entrepreneurs all go through “stuff” and its not the “stuff” that matters, but how you react to that stuff that matters and what you do about it. What I did was make a “World Class Film” despite all the “stuff” that happened along the way..
We are just now finishing up post production and putting on the final touches of this revolutionary film and have just hired the best Public Relations Firm in the World, Stellar Communications headed by Kate Romero and John Stellar. These two highly-conscious PR alchemists will connect the dots that need to be connected to bring this film into a world-wide phenomenon status.
As more and more media outlets are beginning to spotlight my journey and story of the other amazing young entrepreneurs in our film, the world is beginning to open their mind to looking at what is possible for a young person in terms of making a positive impact in the world and taking ownership of their destiny.
If you are even remotely thinking about starting a business or want to bring your existing business to the next level, you must join the Young Entrepreneur Society and see the film that started this society. If you are still reading this, you know I am talking to you…you have made it this far, don’t turn back…you are on the right path. Trust yourself and your creativity and genius within, it was divinely put there. I would love to hear all about you becoming the next YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR!

Great quotes from Tony Robbins.
Here are some great quotes from Tony Robbins that will get you thinking differently.
A great coach of mine.
A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided."
"You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don't think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully."
"I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret."
"Most people fail in life because they major in minor things."
"Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human."
"Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. Human beings have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and create a meaning that disempowers them or one that can literally save their lives."
"For changes to be of any true value, they've got to be lasting and consistent."
Anthony Robbins Quotes
"I challenge you to make your life a masterpiece. I challenge you to join the ranks of those people who live what they teach, who walk their talk."
Tony Robbins Quotes
"I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy."
"How am I going to live today in order to create the tomorrow I'm committed to?" Anthony Robbins Quotes
"If you want to be successful, find someone who has achieved the results you want and copy what they do and you'll achieve the same results."
"In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently."
Tony Robbins Quotes
"If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten."
Anthony Robbins Quotes
"In life you need either inspiration or desperation."
Anthony Robbins and Quotes
"It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped."
"It not knowing what to do, it's doing what you know."
Anthony Robbins and Quotes
"It's not the events of our lives that shape us, but our beliefs as to what those events mean."
Anthony Robbins and Quotes
"It is not what we get. But who we become, what we contribute... that gives meaning to our lives."
Anthony Robbins and Quotes
"Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more."
Anthony Robbins and Quotes
"Live with passion!"
"Most people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command when we focus all of our resources on mastering a single area of our lives."
"My definition of success is to live your life in a way that causes you to feel a ton of pleasure and very little pain - and because of your lifestyle, have the people around you feel a lot more pleasure than they do pain."
"Once you have mastered time, you will understand how true it is that most people overestimate what they can accomplish in a year - and underestimate what they can achieve in a decade!"
"Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfillment"
"Passion is the genesis of genius."
Tony Robbins Quotes
"People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals - that is, goals that do not inspire them."
"One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular."
Tony Robbins Quotations
"Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible."
Tony Robbins Quotations
"Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach."
Tony Robbins Quotations
"Remember, a real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided."
"Success comes from taking the initiative and following up... persisting... eloquently expressing the depth of your love. What simple action could you take today to produce a new momentum toward success in your life?"
Tony Robbins Quotations
"Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers." Tony Robbins Quotations
"Surmounting difficulty is the crucible that forms character."
"Take control of your consistent emotions and begin to consciously and deliberately reshape your daily experience of life."
"The higher your energy level, the more efficient your body The more efficient your body, the better you feel and the more you will use your talent to produce outstanding results."
"The meeting of preparation with opportunity generates the offspring we call luck."
"The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment."
"The path to success is to take massive, determined action."
"The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you're in control of your life. If you don't, life controls you."
"The truth is that we can learn to condition our minds, bodies, and emotions to link pain or pleasure to whatever we choose. By changing what we link pain and pleasure to, we will instantly change our behaviors."
"The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives."
"There is no such thing as failure. There are only results."
Tony Robbins Quotes
"There's always a way - if you're committed."
"There's no abiding success without commitment."
Tony Robbins Quotes
"To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others."
Tony Robbins Quotes
"Using the power of decision gives you the capacity to get past any excuse to change any and every part of your life in an instant."
"Want to learn to eat a lot? Here it is: Eat a little. That way, you will be around long enough to eat a lot."
"We are the only beings on the planet who lead such rich internal lives that it's not the events that matter most to us, but rather, it's how we interpret those events that will determine how we think about ourselves and how we will act in the future."
"We aren't in an information age, we are in an entertainment age."
"We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish."
"We will act consistently with our view of who we truly are, whether that view is accurate or not."
Tony Robbins Quotes
"What we can or cannot do, what we consider possible or impossible, is rarely a function of our true capability. It is more likely a function of our beliefs about who we are."
"Whatever happens, take responsibility."
"When people are like each other they tend to like each other."
"You always succeed in producing a result."
Tony Robbins Quotes
"You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action."
Anthony Robbins and Quotes
"You see, it's never the environment; it's never the events of our lives, but the meaning we attach to the events - how we interpret them - that shapes who we are today and who we'll become tomorrow."

HARD WORK
I would like to share this post from Ronn Torossian's blog,
CEO of 5WPR. Looking a great PR Firm, please go to www.5wpr.com
I’ve been working tremendously long hours these last few weeks, and with the changing economy I’m even more knee-deep in client work than usual. I am emotionally invested and intensely involved with client work – A 5 hour strategy session today with a major financial client, followed by a 2 hour conference call with a technology media company for example. The work is fun and challenging, but emotionally and intellectually draining. Great clients are essential in these times – Great clients who are good, smart people, who allow someone who owns a service business like myself to feel appreciated… and give us that rush (and of course pay their bills on time).
It’s 11:15 PM and I have literally worked nonstop since 7 AM…and on top of that, I have an 8 PM client event tomorrow night, and two client events this weekend, but this is the price I believe is necessary for success.
Owning a PR agency, I am very blessed and thankful for us to be where we are and believe we are very well suited for the days, weeks and months ahead. Focused, aggressive, hard working, and in the trenches with our clients. There’s nowhere I’d rather be.

The worst job market in a generation is getting worse. The unemployment rate in June rose to 9.5% - the highest since the early 80s. All told, almost 15 million Americans are out of work.
So what's a new grad or a displaced worker to do? Create your own job. That’s the advice of serial entrepreneur Jeff Hoffman. “Now that there aren't jobs - high unemployment and it's just not as safe to be in big corporate America - it's a perfect time to be more innovative, more creative and plot out your own future.”

Success, Failure and Timing. - Shai Agassi
Shai Agassi was a member of the Executive Board of SAP AG until March 31, 2007. He is responsible for the global development efforts for all SAP products and SAP's portfolio of industry-specific solutions.
Before his appointment to the SAP Executive Board, Agassi was CEO of SAP Portals and later of the combined company SAP Markets and SAP Portals, which previously operated as a fully owned subsidiary of SAP AG.

Rules for success from a motivating taxi driver.
I found this article on www.successmagazine.com by Zig Ziglar and had to share it.
One morning in Houston, Texas, I caught a taxi (to go to a breakfast meeting) and during a short ride I heard one of the finest sales talks on America and free enterprise that I ever heard. The cab driver had been a professional healthcare provider in his native Nigeria, but he preferred living in a free society, with the opportunity to do what he pleased, and so he was very excited about being a cab driver in Houston.
During our conversation my migrant friend quickly turned to motivator, and his enthusiasm led him to give me some rules for success! I offer them here so that you might benefit from them, too.
Pay your bills.
Obey the laws.
Keep your eyes on God. God is in charge.
Run from lazy, crooked people.
Make your workplace your home.
Love and honor your boss.
Keep your promises.
Mind your own business.
I was motivated by the cab driver who was excited about his dream and having the opportunity to live it. He had set his goal long ago. He was living his dream. He wasn’t waiting until he could get into something better; he was performing with the opportunity he had. He was happy with what he had and was enthusiastically giving life his best shot. That, my friend, is marvelous preparation for a better tomorrow!

Daily motivator - Jump right in .
If you don't make the attempt, you're not going to achieve it. Though you may have perfectly reasonable and understandable excuses, those excuses won't provide you with anything of value.
Life has so much richness to offer when you jump in with all you have and get yourself involved. Be bold, set your sights high, and move confidently in the direction of what you really desire.
Of course things will not always turn out the way you planned. In fact, they may very well turn out even better than you could have imagined.
Remind yourself of all the ups and downs you've already successfully been through. And realize that whatever you may encounter, you'll find a way to make the best of it.
Then decide precisely how you wish to live your life and begin immediately to start doing it. Whatever your dream may be, the first step can be taken right now.
Do it with enthusiasm, with joy, with the best of expectations and without hesitation. Jump right in and live the richness that is your beautiful, unique life.
-- Ralph Marston

How I Did it - Entrepreneur Butch Stewart
Gordon "Butch" Stewart's voice is deep and slow, and he speaks with melodic phrasing, suggesting the sun-soaked climate of his native Jamaica, where he started Sandals Resorts, in 1981. Today, Stewart owns and runs 20 resorts under the Sandals umbrella, including the original Sandals all-inclusive, couples-only resorts, the Beaches resorts for families, and four boutique hotels. Stewart serves as company chairman, while his son Adam, 27, is now the CEO. The resorts are sprawling, with flourishes like multicolored pagodas, swim-up bars, and poolside Greek temples. One resort boasts 100 separate swimming pools. From its small beginnings, Sandals, based in Montego Bay, has grown into a multibillion-dollar company.
I was born in Jamaica. My mother had a little business as a dealer for appliances, and I used to go and help her. I loved it. I used to catch fish and sell them as a 12-year-old, and between fishing I used to love being in the shop with her.
I started working just before I turned 17, but then I went to England to round off my education and came back to Jamaica full of vim and vinegar. I got a job at a trading company and was in charge of the appliance department. After five years, I was able to save over $3,000. That was 1968. Then I realized Fedders air conditioners were not represented in Jamaica. I bought an airplane ticket and I headed to Edison, New Jersey. I met with the president's nephew. We really hit it off. He said to the finance people, "Look, he's paying cash for the first shipment, so there's nothing to lose; give him a chance."
I rented an old doctor's office in Jamaica, a secondhand car, and a secondhand pickup. I was able to buy 27 room air conditioners. Before they arrived, I had them sold. I would install them in half a day, and so we made our money out of making people happy. Today, that company, ATL Group, is also in the office equipment business, we are the distributor for Honda motorcars, and we have a newspaper called The Jamaica Observer.
Jamaica had gone through a period of upheaval in the '70s. It was a time of radical socialism, and the economy went to tatters. But we survived, and in 1980 we had a new government. We were so enthusiastic. I ended up buying two hotels. They were all in shambles. If I had known what I was doing, I would never have bought those hotels. The amount of Pandora's boxes that were in there! We had to find out how to market and how to cook the food, and the kind of décor and rooms people wanted. That was 1981.
We set about trying to provide more than people expected. I was in Italy and I saw this hair dryer in the bedroom. I found out the manufacturer, and we were the first hotel to have hair dryers in the Caribbean. It's not a big deal today, but in 1983, it was. We did our first swim-up pool bar in 1984. We were the first in the Caribbean to do it. When we were putting in our first hot tub, the people in the hotel association said, "Butch, take it easy, man, you don't need to waste your money that way." While they were talking, I was building a second and a third in different parts of the property, because I realized people like different locations to soak in the tub.
Everybody thought we'd be out of business the first month because the hotel is very close to the airport. We came up with the idea of everyone waving to the people that were leaving in the plane, and kissing the one you love when a plane flies by. I don't think we had five complaints after that. Then the Concorde started flying to Jamaica once a week, and it made more noise than any airplane I've ever heard. The buildings shook. So we turned all the beach lounges to face the airport, and that magnificent airplane would get up right in front of everybody on the beach. Guests would come rushing in: "Has the Concorde taken off yet?" We made a promotion out of it.
The first two years, we lost more money than I ever dreamt possible. We realized that we didn't have enough bedrooms. We only had 100 rooms, so I went in and built more rooms, and that same hotel now is 251 bedrooms.
In 1986, we were able to buy another hotel, Sandals Royal Caribbean it's called today. And we've been able to build more. One is Sandals Grande Riviera Beach & Villa Resort, in the area where I grew up; in fact, the piano bar is built right where my grandmother's home was. Sandals Negril ended up being the most successful hotel that the Caribbean has ever had. We opened it in November 1988. It opened full, and it has been full ever since.
Beaches came straight out of guests saying to me, "Butch, we have been here 15 times, 20 times. But now we have kids; we need a place that we can take the whole family." So that's how Beaches evolved, starting in 1997. We never realized that you needed to do so much to keep the entire family happy. Kids get bored if you don't have organized things for them to do. The smartest thing I ever did was to make my second-youngest son, Adam, chairman of the youth committee to come up with creative ideas to make the younger people happy. We have water slides, swimming bars for kids -- so it's only juice and nonalcoholic drinks -- and we have a little disco that converts into a movie theater.
We have spent $370 million over the past three years modernizing, redecorating, and expanding. Women -- I mean, I hope I'm not saying something wrong -- but women just want bigger and better-quality bathrooms every year. They want bathrooms that are like palaces, that have Jacuzzis in them, separate showers, bidets, twin basins, and now they want those big overhead showers, also soaking tubs. And our job is to please those requests.
My darkest period was in 1990, when I lost my son Jonathan. He was the third of my five sons; he was killed in a tragic car accident at age 24. And nothing meant anything for a while. But I've never had any doubts about the business. I run on gut instinct to a large extent, but at the same time I never make a major decision without bouncing it off of a circle of people that I work with. Right now, we have an organization that has everybody in it. You want lawyers; we have them. Engineers; we have them. Accountants; we have them. Marketing people; we have them. People that understand how to cook the best food in the world; we have them.
I get up every morning, I can't wait for the sun to get up. I don't have that much longer on the planet, and I'm just going to enjoy it in the way that I have for 66 years. I still water-ski. I love boating and fishing, and any opportunity I get, I do that. I play dominoes with friends. I love sitting on the veranda and talking absolute nonsense. I hope most of it will make you laugh.

Daily Thought - Your Choice.
Just discover Ralph Marston and his blog and I just have to share what this guy is all about. Great daily motivators I will be sharing in the future. Enjoy.
Daily Thought
Your choice
+++++++++++++++++++
You can resent the amount of work you have to do. Or you can
get busy and use it as an opportunity to create great value.
You can see each setback as a fatal blow to the achievement
of your dream. Or you can learn from all the ups and the
downs and make the achievement of your dream all the more
valuable as a result of each challenge.
You can pounce upon each bit of bad news and extrapolate it
to portend the end of the world. Or you can celebrate the
fact that bad news is news only because it is so relatively
rare.
You can sit and wait and complain and convince yourself that
things will never get better. Or you can enthusiastically
jump forward and make life the best it can be.
Whatever the situation, whoever is involved, you always have
a choice. Choose each time to express the authentic beauty
of your being, and live in a world where life is so very
good.

Times has changed and it is not business as usaul for entrepreurs if you want to succeed this competitive enviroment. Just completed a great business book by Kevin and Jackie Freiberg titled BOOM 7 CHOICES FOR BLOWING THE DOORS OFF BUSINESS AS USUAL. I think it's a must read for employees and executives alike, looking for a fresh new way for doing business.
The book ends with the manifesto with gives the gist of the entire book and a geat summary of the 7 choices. Here it is
The freedon to choose may be the most powerful attribute and precious resource I have in my life. It shapes who I become, the success I achieve, and my influence in the world. I am a product of my choice, not my conditions.
Choice # 1 I choose to be player.
Choice # 2 I choose to be accountable
Choice # 3 I choose Service of Self-interest
Choice # 4 I choose to focus forward
Choice # 5 I choose to play to my genius
Choice # 6 I choose to get it done
Choice # 7 I choose to risk more and gain more
It's a ultrafresh approach to creating a culture of commitment and accountability.
People will realize their value at work and the difference they can make daily. Again, it's a companywide must read.
