I've been working from home for almost 8 years. I've done various things. For the last two years I have worked with a company that has a great team. We all work together to make our dreams come true. What a great concept.....helping each other. You don't see that alot at a j.o.b. or any other home business. That's what makes us different from anyone else.

We have a magazine that the company sends every month. As I was reading this month's magazine I was moved by the inspiration from our teammates and business owners. So I wanted to pass along their words of wisdom. These can be used in life, business and family.

CHARACTER: "Leadership is the capacity and will to rally men and women to a common purpose and the character which inspires confidence." B. Montgomery British Field Marshal

FOCUS: "What people say, what people do, and what they say they do are entirely different things." M. Mead Anthropologist

VISION: "The future belongs to those who see possibilities before they become obvious." J. Sculley, Former CEO of Pepsi and Apple Computer

INITIATIVE: "Success seems to be connected with action.
Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit." Conrad Hilton, Hotel Executive

COMMUNICATION: "Developing excellent communication skills is absolutely essential to effective leadership. The leader must be able to share knowledge and ideas to transmit a sense of urgency and enthusiasm to others. If a leader can't get a message across clearly and motivate others to act on it, then having a message
doesn't even matter." Gilbert Amelio, President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp.

COMMITMENT: "People do not follow uncommitted leaders. Commitment can be displayed in full range of matters to the work hours you choose to maintain, how you work to improve your abilities, or what you do for your fellow workers and personal sacrifice." Stephen Gregg, Chairman and CEO of Ethix Corp.

COMPETENCE: "Competence goes beyond words. It's the leader's ability to say it, plan on it, and do it in such a way that others know that you know how and know that they want to follow you." John C. Maxwell

SELF DISIPLINE: "The speed of the leader is the speed of your organization." Russ Paley

PASSION: "Anyone can dabble, but once you've made that commitment, your blood has that particular thing in it, and it's very hard for people to stop you." Bill Cosby

Now reading those words of wisdom apply them to your life. The Vision of my Passion is what keeps me going. Initiative gives me the strength to make a difference by help others.
