From the Desk of Bob

Yeah, 360 weekly issues have been written and distributed as of today of this Monday Morning Motivation. Readers have subscribed from all over the world. We are so fortunate to be a small part of your life. Thank you for reading.

Positive Motivational Messages for Conferences, Trainings, and Special Events!
Please mention "Mr. Attitude!" to decision makers who may need my services. Mr. Attitude, is filling up his Fall Schedule right now!

Many of our readers have participated in my seminars, trainings and speaking engagements. If some of my tools, or ideas have helped you please send me a note about that successful result. I am updating my Miracle Book! I would love to have your story in it. Over the years we have received hundreds of letters of how people have applied the principles and processes that they gained in my sessions. We just love capturing that kind of feedback. It gives us purpose. It also fuels our mission.

Let me know if you benefit from these weekly writings, too. Many times this is our greatest paycheck.

Smile often, Bob

Attitudes to Live By

"You are the embodiment of the information you choose to accept and act upon. To change your circumstances you need to change your thinking and subsequent actions." ~Adlin Sinclair

"To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe." ~Saitiz Anatole France

"Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be." ~Karen Ravn

Seeds of Success: The '10 Rule'

By Robert A. Prentice

Do you desire to have more effective results in your life? If so, challenge yourself to use a performance standard. For example, I use a standard of 10. I call it the '10 Rule'. A performance standard is measurable, specific and quantifiable.

· I stretch to accomplish 10 items on my 'to do' list.

· I enjoy setting 10 minute goals, 10 hour goals, 10 day goals, 10 month goals, and even 10 year goals.

· I use the multiple of 10 in my financial living: if I have $10 in my wallet, I ask myself How can I best invest this to turn it into $100? and so on.

· I am building 10 close relationships daily.

· I strive to work only 10 hours each day.

· I am concentrating on losing weight-10 pounds at a time.

· Our family enjoys taking 10 mini-vacations a year.

· In business, I work with 10 major corporate clients.

* I send 10 business emails a day.

* I spend 10 minutes just relaxing once a day.

This may all sound rather silly to you, but it works if you believe it will. I challenge you to find a performance standard that will work for you. Try it for 10 days and just see what happens. Think of things that you need to get done and think of things needing some action.

On the Sunny Side of Life: Old Goats

A group of Canadians was traveling by tour bus through Holland.
As they stopped at a cheese farm, a young guide led them through a process of cheese making, explaining that goat's milk was used.

She showed the group a lovely hillside where many goats were grazing. These, she explained, were the older goats put out to pasture when they no longer produced.

She then asked, "What do you do in Canada with your old goats that aren't producing?"

A spry old gentleman answered, "They send us on bus tours."
