Seen On The Back of My Business Card – 1 of 4

ByMatthew

“Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.” – Thomas Jefferson

This quote is rightfully at the top of the card, and, I believe most important. Without the right mindset nothing is possible, and with the right mindset just about anything is possible.

What do you think and believe about your goals? Do your thoughts and beliefs support a pattern of consistent action, experimentation and adaptation?

There’s a way to think about anything that either makes it possible or impossible.

[I’m doing something a little different this week: I am featuring the quotes I had printed on the back of my new business cards.]

    A little quickie for your Monday morning: The worst phrase, just about ever, is “I can’t do that because… ” I’ve been hearing that a fair bit lately, or I’ve been noticing more lately. Mostly it’s others saying it, but sometimes it’s – in one for or another – in my head. When we say I can’t…

  • You: A Discoverer

    ByMatthew

    Discovery is seeing what everybody else has seen, and thinking what nobody else has thought. – Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi I love how this sentiment democratizes discovery. It becomes something anyone can do, in regards to anything. You could be a discoverer. Anyone can. How does that shift you? How does change how you look at the world?…
