This is yo ‘Lazy people want much, but get little. Those who work hard will prosper.’
By the age of 16, Ramona Acosta Bañelos was married. By 18 she had two children, but at this time was deserted by her husband. Poverty stricken in Mexico, left to raise her two children, untrained in any profession and unable to speak English, she had a dream…
She made her way to Los Angeles and with her last $7 dollars got a taxi ride to see a distant relative. Refusing to live on charity from others, she found a job as a dishwasher and a second job making tortillas. Working many hours, she eventually saved $500. With this, she invested in her own tortilla machine. Over time and hard work and as well as studying, she became the owner of Ramona Mexican food products – the largest Mexican food product in the world.
The story goes further as Ramona was to become the 34th Treasurer of the United States – appointed by the President Richard Nixon, hand picked by Eisenhower, as she exemplified the American dream. Eisenhower was quoted to say;
“We succeed only as we identify in life or in war or in anything, a single overriding objective and make all other considerations bend to that one objective”.
So what is unique about leaders and the Strategies of Marketing? They know what it takes to prosper. Granted it is hard work, but they are committed and passionate to pursue a vision, a dream, to reach their goals. They stand out from the crown as they focus on what they want, driven by desire to succeed as well as to stay the course no matter how long it takes. One thing successful leaders don’t do and that is to give up.
So are you on a mission? If so what is driving you? Why do you get out of bed in morning? Are you hungry to succeed? Do you have a vision?
If tomorrow you were appointed as the CEO of a large company, what would you do first? Would you start with a vision, and if so, how would you go out to develop one? More importantly, how would you sell the vision? What foundations will you build upon? What practices would you let go?
Jack Welsh, CEO of GE for many years, was a believer of action learning. He had a game plan to get his people to think as leaders and these could be perceived as desirable qualities of leadership. Here is way to express such qualities:
1. Look within you.What do you get excited about?
2. Look behind you.What has life taught you to this point? Life provides you with the wisdom. Don’t live in the past, but learn from the past. What does your past tell you about your future – good or bad?
3. Look around you.Who can you call upon to help you? Fulfil your destiny with the right people in your life.
4. Look ahead.Aim for a goal? A goal is set by having a vision.
5. Look beside you.What resources are available to you right now – system, tools, books, CDs, conferences, mentors etc.
Do you know your vision, if so, what do you see? The vision must fulfil your destiny! If your vision is not bigger than you, then you are not thinking big enough? Think big!
Ramona may have started with a number of good small business ideas, but with great vision, look where it got her. You too can make a difference today.
My name is Gary Oakes and I know we can all aspire to achieve better things. It may be a case of changing direction and doing something you have never done, but always dreamt of. I have written a number of posts on this subject matter as well relevant material available on my website. I’m helping people to think positively about the future. I believe that people can find a way within to pursue an idea and a vision. We all have the ability to take control of our lives, but many just don’t know it.
I have established a 3 in 1 solution to help anyone to think about and start an income opportunity through the comfort of ones own home. You can learn the value of having a vision through this inspiring video to create a goal. You can follow some really simple techniques and the information available is free. You will not see such valuable information contained all in one place. The journey starts by following this simple link to Strategies of Marketing.
