The late Zig Ziglar provided many great insights, but perhaps one of his most useful warnings was about “stinkin’ thinkin’.” Ziglar noted that it was negative thinking that could hurt us the most as we move towards success.
Lately, I’ve been studying the difference between entrepreneurs who succeed and those who fail. Often it is the thoughts that we tell ourselves that makes the difference. The most powerful words in the world are those you tell yourself and believe.
I’ve seen people who have many of the traits needed for success, but still don’t make it. They have intelligence, drive, ambition and the ability to get along with others. A casual observer would look at them and predict this person would surely succeed, but they miss the mark somehow.
