Tuesday, 8:15 a.m.
Announcements, award presentations, and vendor talks began the session. Next, Charlotte Stallings was introduced. Four lessons to be successful.
- Success is a choice. Must choose your attitude ('tude). You have two sides of the bed to get out of each morning: the positive side and the negative side. Which side we choose determines the outlook. Don't get pulled down by those that have negative ideas. Surround yourself with positive people. "Could it be that things are the way they are because of the way you are? "
- Focus. Remember what got you where you are in the first place. Focus beats brilliance. Never lose sight of your goals. Focus makes you remarkable. Mentions Seth Godin "The Purple Cow." Purple cows are visible, while the more common colors are not. Be the purple cow and stand out from the crowd. Focus on your strengths and have unique ability and do it better than anyone else. Other options are Excellent( do well without passion), competent (minimum standards), and incompetent (results in a disaster).
- Look for the lion. What one thing would you do today if you weren't afraid? Fear freezes us and paralyzes us with the "what ifs". Book: Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway. If afraid, call a lifeline, such as friends, colleagues, those that can comfort, help you confront, and those that can clarify your issues.
- Live your passion. Do what you love and do it better and with more passion than anyone else.
