EXCERPT FROM JOE TYE’S LATEST EZINE:  The referenced free gifts have been uploaded to www.SlidellCalendar.com in the Document Section under eBooks.  Everything Joe writes is excellent!

If you believe things are going to get tougher before they get easier (I certainly do), then the best investment you can make in yourself is cultivating the mental and emotional toughness required to see the opportunity in every perceived crisis, and the courage to take action in the face of paralyzing fear. You must, in short, conquer your lesser self so that your best self can shine.  As my gift to you, click on this link to download the 91-page Winning the War with Yourself Field Manual, which includes as an appendix the special report "It's Better to Be a Three-Legged Coyote Than a Four-Legged Fur Coat " - which is filled with recommendations for escaping some of the more common traps in life and work.

The best investment you can make in your organization is fostering a spirit of cultural toughness. More than any other factor, this spirit characterizes each of the eight legendary business success stories profiled in my book All Hands on Deck: 8 Essential Lessons for Building a Culture of Ownership.

The one, of course, always leads to the other. The best way to foster cultural toughness in the organization is with training on values-based life and leadership skills. So as my second gift to you, click on this link to download our 32-page special report The Business Case for Values Training, which includes more than two dozen of the most important lessons we have learned over the past 15 years of providing this training.

HYENA BELIEFS FROM WES HOPPER:

GRATITUDE  -  HYENA BELIEFS

"Whenever you do fall into the old ways of thought, correct yourself instantly, for when you are in the competitive mind you have lost the cooperation of the Universe."

Wallace Wattles

I remember watching a nature show on TV and seeing two hyenas fighting with one another over a piece of meat.

In the background not too far away was an entire carcass.

In the distance, as far as the eye could see, was an endless herd of the prey animals.

I thought, "Wow! What a perfect illustration of the competitive mind. Fighting over scraps in the midst of plenty!"

We all see through filters, and the filters are our beliefs. If our belief is that supply is limited, then that's what we will experience.

Wattles says that we lose the cooperation of the Universe.  Actually the Universe always cooperates with us, by agreeing with us.

If we believe in shortages, we get to experience shortages.

Then, like the hyenas, we end up fighting over the scraps.

Resolve to see only abundance.  There are enough ideas, enough customers, enough money and enough opportunities for your needs.

You are a creator, not a competitor. The Universe will cooperate with that.

Many blessings, Wes
