"When you know what you want, and want it bad enough, you will find a way to get it."
Getting a promotion is hard work. But if your home were at the brink of foreclosure, you would find a way to get that promotion. Getting fit and losing weight is also hard work. But if your doctor said you weren’t long for this earth, you would find a way to lose weight and live. Nothing’s impossible; you just need the motivation to make it possible — and do it. Watch as Jim Rohn shows you how.

Rhonda Byrne: Australian writer and producer, known for The Secret
"Your life right now is a reflection of your past thoughts. That includes all the great things, and all the things you consider not so great. Since you attract to you what you think about most, it is easy to see what your dominant thoughts have been on every subject of your life, because that is what you have experienced."
Your past defines who you are today and helps shape your future tomorrow. Embrace your past, mistakes and all, because they are a part of you. You can’t change your past, but you can always change your thoughts — which changes your future. Joe Vitale shows you how to change your thoughts and your life.

Andrew Carnegie: 19th century captain of American industry
"No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or to get all the credit for doing it."
A great leader doesn't pull his team. A great leader doesn't push his team. He doesn't have to. The leader has given enough inspiration, direction, and motivation that push and pull the team to new limits. Marshall Goldsmith takes you to the next level, where you take hold of the reins. When birds fly in a V formation, does one bird take the lead while all others follow? No. The leading bird, just like the leading employee, carries most of the resistance, stress, and responsibility. Therefore, to maximize the efficiency and productivity of everyone, the birds must rotate positions. Marshall Goldsmith shows you how to take the eagle-eye view of a leader.

Mary O'Connor: Romance author
"It's not so much how busy you are, but why you are busy. The bee is praised. The mosquito is swatted."
Have you ever been to an offsite think tank meeting where you spent a day or two discussing how to move the company forward? Every minute, every hour was most productive. The next day, you fell back into your groove answering emails and returning calls. You became busier than ever, yet nowhere nearly as productive as you were in the meeting. Make sure you pencil in "productive days" every single month. Larry Winget will make sure you stay as busy and productive as a bee.

Joe Vitale: was a writer and management consultant
"Ask yourself what you would do even if you were never paid. That’s a clue to what you should be doing and, of course, still be finding a way to be paid for it. You can attract more money from love."
On average, you’ll spend about 10 years of your life at work. If you drag yourself out of bed each weekday morning, dread your ride in to work, then count the hours until you can leave, you’ve just lost 10 or more years of your life. Yet, if you hop out of bed each weekday morning, anticipate getting to work and relish every minute until you go home — well, you’re no longer working. You’re doing what you love, living life the way you want — and getting paid to do so. Joe Vitale has your life’s true calling.

Peter F. Drucker: was a writer and management consultant
"Management is doing things right, leadership is doing the right things."
Management takes brains. Leadership takes brains, guts and heart. Management moves people. Leadership moves companies. Management changes product and price. Leadership changes minds and attitudes. Management can come and go. Leadership is forever. Perhaps there is nobody more able to inspire you to take that next step — toward leadership — than Marshall Goldsmith.

Larry Winget: professional speaker and bestselling author
"Don't measure busywork. Don't measure activity. Measure accomplishment. It doesn't matter what people do as much as it matters what they get done."

Or did phone calls, emails, and meetings bog you down? Make a habit to start each day with a focus of what meaningful daily goal you want to accomplish. String together a few weeks like that and you'll become very accomplished in your career. Larry Winget gives you the keys to accomplishment.

Lee Iacocca: Former CEO of Chrysler, author, philanthropist
"The kind of people I look for to fill top management spots are the eager beavers, the mavericks. These are the guys who try to do more than they're expected to do — they always reach."
Maverick: [mav-er-ik, mav-rik] noun — A lone dissenter who takes an independent stand apart from his or her associates. How many valedictorians does a high school or college have? How many CEOs are there in a company? How many presidents of the United States are there at any one given time? My point exactly. If you live your life doing what everyone else does, you’ll become like everyone else. To be original, unique, and possibly THE BEST, you have to do MORE than everyone else. Dr. John Eliot shows you how.

When you’re ready to shape your destiny and change your life, Anthony Robbins reveals how dramatic changes can come easier than you think.
