The 6 People You Need in Your Corner

Nothing incredible is accomplished alone. You need others to help you, and you need to help others. With the right team, you can form a web of connections to make the seemingly impossible practically inevitable.

1. The Instigator:
Someone who pushes you, who makes you think. Who motivates you to get up and go, and try, and make things happen. You want to keep this person energized, and enthusiastic. This is the voice of inspiration.

2. The Cheerleader:
This person is a huge fan, a strong supporter, and a rabid evangelist for you and your work. Work to make this person rewarded, to keep them engaged. This is the voice of motivation.

3. The Doubter:
This is the devil’s advocate, who asks the hard questions and sees problems before they arise. You need this person’s perspective. They are looking out for you, and want you to be as safe as you are successful. This is the voice of reason.

4. The Taskmaster:
This is the loud and belligerent voice that demands you gets things done. This person is the steward of momentum, making sure deadlines are met and goals are reached. This is the voice of progress.

5. The Connector:
This person can help you find new avenues and new allies. This person breaks through roadblocks into finds ways to make magic happen. You need this person to reach people and places you can’t. This is the voice of cooperation and community.

6. The Example:
This is your mentor, you hero, your North Star. This is the person who you seek to emulate. This is your guiding entity, someone whose presence acts as a constant reminder that you, too, can do amazing things. You want to make this person proud. This is the voice of true authority.

Motivational speakers are making cool dough by just researching the dictionary for OTHER WORDS to prettify what you already know. I think I need to THINK AND GROW RICH too.

The mathematics of life has no formula for it. You can go on and work the sums, right or wrong you can not dispute it.

You can be all that for yourself. All you need in life is a good head on your shoulder and how to use it.

Thank u o jare. some1 will write a book and title it: HOW TO MAKE MILLIONS and peole would buy it there by helping him to make his millions. I ve never come across any one of them making use of any point in the book to make their millions but they make their millions through the books they write. IMAGINE! This motivational speakers and writers have lead a lot of people astray by making them to resign pre maturely from their jobs. They will go to the extent of telling you that you can never make it as a salary earner. They will give you examlpes of successful people in the world but they will never make reference to those that have failed trying to go by their words.
