Summary: No One can do the minimum, and receive the maximum.
1. Get the job done
One thing Millionaires have in common... Hard Workers
One was asked why he worked 14 hour days,
“Americans can survive working 8 hours a day, anything over 8, is an investment in my future”
No One can do the minimum, and receive the maximum
Credit Cards:
If you owe $5,000.... Make minimum payment @ 18%
Takes 46 yrs...Your total cost = $18,926
No One can do the minimum, and receive the maximum
Marriage...Job...Spirit
Set your mind to do something.... AND DO IT
Finish what you start
2. Be willing to go the Extra Mile-
Matthew 5:41 And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
Responsible people never say, “THAT’S NOT MY JOB”
Be willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done
Our staff here @ church... It’s your Job
Plumbers, Janitors, Electricians, Carpenters,.... WE’LL DO WHATEVER
Put what needs to be done... Ahead of Your AGENDA
Problem in a lot of marriages...
They want what they want.. Instead what need
3. Strive for Excellence
We’ll never be Perfect... We can always Be Excellent
Want a good nights sleep... Want to live in Peace.... BE EXCELLENT
Experts say... Stress comes from doing less than your capable of.
It’s harder to Loaf... Than to be Excellent
If you bring your best... Never afraid to take responsibility for your actions
4. Produce Regardless of the Situation
Quit Blaming your surroundings for your Failures
Take Responsibility for your situation and THRIVE
“This isn’t what I wanted” “It wasn’t suppose to happen like this”
You are who you are... You are where you are ... Don’t blame the Map for being lost
Can’t shoot at a Target... Miss... Blame the Target
You’re the one holding the Bow... This is your life and no one elses
IF YOU WANT TO IMPROVE YOURSELF... IMPROVE YOUR AIM
