1. Set out deliberately to make every day highly productive.

Decide on one main purpose for each day. Determine that you"re
going to achieve that one object above everything else. If you
accomplish even one worthwhile thing each day, you"ll be
inspired to keep moving ahead! And a series of successful days
makes a highly productive year!

Achievement begins with a definite, written plan for each day"s
work. Be strict with yourself on this one. It"s vital to your
best progress.

After planning your day, start working right away with passion
and excitement. Do your honest-to-goodness best. If some part of
your work seems boring, put more heart and purpose into it, and
you"ll be surprised at the satisfaction and motivation that"ll
pop up!

2. Make the most of your opportunities each day.

Whatever you do, always expect success. Make the most of your
best talents.

There are opportunities all around you! Look for them. Grab them
and hold on tight! Keep your eyes fixed upon one purpose, and
remember that perseverance may carry you far beyond your
immediate goal. It could bring you even greater success than you
anticipate.

Don"t wait for your best working mood, but create it.
Concentration is one of the great secrets of achievement. Apply
yourself wholeheartedly to a task for one hour. You"ll
accomplish more than you will from several hours of aimless
effort. Get used to doing one thing at a time and to do it
thoroughly.

3. Appreciate the privilege of work.

You can"t afford to take things easy while climbing the ladder
of success. Don"t back up because difficulty comes knocking at
your door. Move ahead. Don"t be scared of a little work. Work is
the medicine of the soul. It"s more than that - it"s your very
life.

You don"t need extraordinary abilities for the highest success.
In most instances successful folks rise to the top by making the
most of ordinary talents and opportunities. A person of average
ability inspired by hard work and determination will outstrip a
genius who doesn"t know where he"s headed.

4. Be courageous!

You"ll be confronted by difficulties and discouragements, but
decide to be strong and focused at all times. Make yourself do
the difficult things. Get them out of the way first. Your
courage and motivation will grow.

5. Develop extra energy reserves.

Store up energy for future use. Now, you may wonder how you can
store up what you don"t have, but you"re better equipped than
you think.

At the next sign of mental or physical laziness or inclination
to give up because of a challenge, try the following exercise:
Stand up straight, breathe deeply, rise on your toes, and
stretch your arms toward the ceiling. Repeat this several times
with gusto. Shake out the lazies, and then get back to your work
with renewed energy.

Change of work is restful and revs up your brain power. People
don"t often break down from overwork but from lack of
organization and knowledge.

Work during all the working hours of the day. Try to make every
moment count. Put your whole strength and best effort into the
work of the moment.

Also, make time for leisure outside of your regular business
hours. Free time is actually most enjoyable when there"s plenty
of hard work before and after it. Really!

Take action on these 5 steps, and you"ll find your days filled
with great joy and effectiveness.
