Chris J. Gregas Quotes That Will Inspire You to Live Your Best Life

1. Be reminded that every time you furnish yourself with an excuse and believe it, you’re letting your life shrink and shrivel up. Instead of your definition of what’s really impossible growing – it shrinks. Instead of pushing your limits, you’re actively pulling them inward towards yourself. Cease and desist. When you buy into your own excuses, you live a smaller life and severely cheat yourself out of a whole host of experiences you never let yourself have – your excuses literally end up stealing your dream and you end up doing way less than you’re capable of.

2. Begin with the end in mind. What you do today must have more than a shelf life. It must be memorable because, at the end of the day, people buy US first. Right? When you have a plan to live for another day instead of just making a sale, then you will have a long road in a success direction. What do you want to be remembered for? Start to build or bolster your resume today while there is time.

3. Drill down on what it means to be simple and clear about what you want and what you want for others. If people can’t see it and if people don’t want it, then you can do magic before them and they will just yawn and carry on. 1-2-3 is the mantra that we carry because when we keep duplicatable, we attract success and that is the goal for all of us who call ourselves business professionals. Keep the main thing the main thing and all will be well.

4. Failure in any arena is not final and it need not be fatal. It is another opportunity to learn something valuable that is going to make you more valuable in the marketplace. Isn’t that really what it’s all about? God never wastes experiences in our lives, and we shouldn’t either. Get back on the horse. He’s waiting to transport you to new worlds.

5. Laziness and average are not the pedigree of an overcoming business specialist. You will be counting pennies for a long time as long as you are interested in BIG before you put great effort into SMALL, but MEANINGFUL steps. Make it your aim today to be a champion in the making. You are not going to be hoisted up on the podium this afternoon, but inch by inch, small but meaningful decision multiplied will get you to where you want to be and beyond. Don’t you dare despise small beginnings.

6. Refuse any longer to grieve what might have been. There is another bus running shortly and that bus might be the greatest ride you have had to date in your business career. Don’t miss out on the blessing ahead because you are enamored with the curse of yesterday or last year. It isn’t worth it and besides, business opportunities are all around us. We just must be ready at the stop to get on and ride it to our destination. You know -the place where you may just become famous.

7. Remind yourself that successful salespeople love their product and their company, and they love to sell and prospect. If you don’t have that kind of love on most days and most of every day, then it is time to make a change. Or better yet, re-sign on the dotted line and start over. Doing the same things over and over again and expecting a magic carpet ride across the world is pitiful thinking and the kind of reasoning that will keep you poor with a capital P.

8. Stop talking about what you are going to do and actually do it. That is not meant to insult you but to invigorate you. At the end of the day we do not get judged so much on what we say but on what we do – or fail to do. I rather see a sermon than hear one anytime. It’s the DOERS that inherit the earth. It is the DOERS that climb the ladder. It is the one who purposefully is in motion that creates emotion and excitement and that is what your client needs to see from you. You know what to do. Now do it and be amazed.

9. Success is very elusive especially when you are trying to chase it down. The more you obsess over it, the more it’s seems to fly like a bird quickly away from you. People don’t deem you a success just because of your bank account. People will wait in a long line someday at your wake because of the donation you deposited into their otherwise difficult life.

10. Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can. That recipe will insure you of the thing that matters most at the end of the day and that is that it is more blessed to give than receive but receiving after you have given is the most rewarding feeling of all.

11. It is no secret that we can only give to others what we have to give. We can only export to our clients what we have in fact imported into our own lives. Leadership and influence are among other things, sharing with others from the overflow of our own growth and multiplied challenges.
