Make the Impossible Possible by Bill Strickland

Powerful story about making your dreams come true with valuable lessons on taking opportunities, hard work and, most of all, the impact of the environment.

Make the Impossible Possible by Bill Strickland

The underlying of true outside results

“Do good, have fun, and the money will come.” (Richard Branson)

Back to business: The only true results are outside results. For a business that’s sales. And for selling you need goods or services. To create products for sale you need a team that executes; and in order to function, the team needs drive. People are driven by motivation. Motivation is fueled by energy. And the source of energy is love.

(The underlying could also be fear, but then it wouldn’t make fun.)

Knowledge is power

“A book is a mirror: If an ape looks into it an apostle is hardly likely to look out.” (Georg C. Lichtenberg)

Back to business: Information is only powerful if you know how to use it, where and what to use it for.

Patience without deactivation

When waiting for things to materialize, have patience. A sender needs a receiver, a message needs a response, and a question needs an answer. Supply meets demand halfway and you too should wait for the connection.

But don’t actively wait with passivity. When waiting for things to materialize, you can work on other things. And when waiting for other things to materialize, you can work on other things. Activate the new and wait for the old. With patience.
