Page 5: The Magic of Thinking Big

Think BIG.

Page 6: The Magic of Thinking Big

Build confidence in yourself. Action reduces fear, so act.

Page 7: The Magic of Thinking Big

Take small steps at first: Sit in the front everywhere you go, practice eye contact, walk 25% faster, practice speaking up,

smile big, use positive words.

Page 8: The Magic of Thinking Big

Think and dream creatively. Believe that it can be done

and then the mind finds a way to get it done.

Page 9: The Magic of Thinking Big

Be open to new ideas and be progressive. Stimulate yourself with diverse ideas from diverse

people. Capacity is a state of mind.

Page 10: The Magic of Thinking Big

You are what you think. "The price tag you put on yourself, is probably the

same price tag that the world will put on you."

Page 11: The Magic of Thinking Big

Dress up. Think your work is important.

Think enthusiastically. Ask yourself if you are the type of manager that a subordinate would respect

and follow?

Page 12: The Magic of Thinking Big

Manage your environment because it is food for your mind.

Page 13: The Magic of Thinking Big

People who tell you that it cannot be done are usually unsuccessful people.

Page 14: The Magic of Thinking Big

Make your attitudes your allies. Live it up. Broadcast good news.

Do better work than others expect.

Page 15: The Magic of Thinking Big

Remember people's names. Take initiative to build friendships.

Talk less. Listen.

Page 16: The Magic of Thinking Big

Get the action habit. Nothing happens just by thinking.

Start now.

Page 17: The Magic of Thinking Big

Do not worry about problems. You can handle them as they come.

Successful people handle problems as they arise.

Page 18: The Magic of Thinking Big

Turn defeat into victory. Defeat is a state of mind.

Page 19: The Magic of Thinking Big

Think that there is a way. If it does not work, then back off and start afresh.

Page 20: The Magic of Thinking Big

Use goals to help you grow. "The important thing is not where you were or

where you are but where you want to get."

Page 21: The Magic of Thinking Big

Know where you want to go. Visualize your future.

Page 22: The Magic of Thinking Big

Achieving success requires the help of others.

Page 23: The Magic of Thinking Big

Trade minds with the people you want to influence. "What would I think if I were that person?"

Page 24: The Magic of Thinking Big

Be human, and put people first.

Page 25: The Magic of Thinking Big

Think big enough to see that if you put service first, money takes care of itself.

Page 26: The Magic of Thinking Big

Think BIG.
