I Advice - The Power of Commitment
A new client recently asked a question about the best length for a marketing email.I think many of us assume that emails should be brief. It’s probably a carry-over from the early days online when connection speeds were so slow. Longer messages took forever to retrieve so we avoided them.Yet, there’s no rule that says an email MUST be brief. So far as I know, there hasn’t been much research done to validate an ideal length one way or the other.I
The power that causes, as W. H. Murray wrote:

Of all that Wallace D. Wattles wrote, there's one passage, the one my young friend was referring to, that I refer to more than all the others combined. I've quoted it or from it in my replies to hundreds of questions. It forms the very "core" of my personal philosophy.

Did you know that it’s a proven fact that a properly maintained home sells substantially higher then a home that is dirty, depressed looking and clearly not maintained very well? When it comes to selling your house the statement “first impressions are the selling impression” couldn’t be any more accurate. This article will highlight some quick tips that will increase the amount of money you can ask for you home when you’re ready to sell it.These tips won’t co
"Hi Tony, I wanted to share a quote with you."
"You're probably already familiar with it, but, in case you're not, I think you'll like it because it's similar to one of your favorite quotes by Wallace D. Wattles."
"Here it is:"
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way."
"I learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets:"
"Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!"
I was already familiar with this quote by W. H. Murray (William Hutchinson Murray, 1913-1996) from his 1951 book entitled "The Scottish Himalayan Expedition", but, until my young friend's email, I'd long forgotten just how good it was.
Did you ever wonder why most people don't get what they want (and, quite frankly, most people don't!)?
Well...
I'll tell you why...
I'll tell you *exactly* why...
Most people don't get what they want because they've never made a *firm decision* as to *exactly* what it is that they want.
In other words...
They don't *really* know what they want.
They may think they do...
But...
The bottom line is...
They don't!
And...
Out of the very few who've made a *firm decision* as to *exactly* what it is that they want...
Even fewer...
Only a tiny handful...
Have *committed* themselves to getting it by *beginning* to move toward what they want...
Thus...
Tapping into the power within themselves...

When a woman has the honor of being asked to be an attendant at a wedding, probably the first thing that pops into her head is the bridesmaid dresses. There are a whole bunch of horror stories about nasty looking dresses that were chosen as bridesmaid dresses. I have seen tons of awful looking gowns, the ones from the 80s seem to be especially hideous. There are still plenty of fine looking bridesmaid dresses out there, so be warned bridal attendants.I had the

Dogs usually have very sharp eyesight. Their vision is many times sharper than that of humans. In fact, a sharp eye sight and sharp hearing capacity are a must for police and security dogs. Dogs like Alsatian, Doberman, and German shepherd are used extensively by police departments and security services as these dogs are much stronger, and naturally have sharp sight and hearing capacities.Dogs’ eyes tend to become weaker and they lose their sharp vision due to

Finding Mad Cow in Oregon puts a new wrinkle in the high protein diet, doesn't it? What's a person to do that wants to eat more meat, not less? Are you Eating Less Meat Due to Mad Cow Disease? Not the people I've spoken with. Most are saying, "Yipee, beef's on sale!" The food industry has done a great job of convincing us they are providing a safe food supply and we've been lulled into a false sense of security. Nothing could be further from the truth

It comes from his book "The Science of Being Great":
"Have perfect faith in yourself and in your ability to cope with any combination of circumstances that may arise. Do not be disturbed if you are alone; if you need friends they will come to you at the right time. Do not be disturbed if you feel that you are ignorant; the information that you need will be furnished you when it is time for you to have it. That which is in you impelling you forward is in the things and people you need, impelling them toward you. If there is a particular man you need to know, he will be introduced to you; if there is a particular book you need to read it will be placed in your hands at the right time. All the knowledge you need will come to you from both external and internal sources. Your information and your talents will always be equal to the requirements of the occasion. Remember that Jesus told his disciples not to worry as to what they would say when brought before the judges; he knew that the power in them would be sufficient for the needs of the hour."
That very same power is in you!
So...
"Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!"
