I thoroughly enjoyed your speech and found many new, useful ideas to use immediately in my business... That's a great presentation. Thanks!

I wanted to pass along my personal thanks to you for speaking at our annual Program Manager's conference. All of the feedback that I received, both in person, as well as in writing, was overwhelmingly positive, and your talk was a big part of that! Thanks again, and I hope that we'll see you at a future Harris event.
--Amos Morse

Tony's presentation had real impact. The points he made were not only relevant to our audience, they were delivered in a way to make them memorable and fun. It was great to have such an important topic delivered with punch as well as humor. His anecdotes were fabulous. Ask him about the pots and pans.
--Corrine Smith

Thanks so much for your presentation at NSA San Diego last week. It was the best combination of practical tips and inspiration that I have seen at an NSA meeting ever! Thanks again for your powerful message and willingness to spend so much time with those of us starting out.
--Jim Cartmill

You are what you think!

Occasionally we hear stories of people who struggle against great odds, prove the naysayers wrong, and achieve the nearly impossible. They turn around a defunct company; they stop a highway from going through virgin land; they beat the odds on terminal cancer.

In order to do extraordinary things, these people - and you! - don't need to be superhuman, you just need some positive tools to get you through rough times. You need a positive philosophy to give yourself direction and an understanding of what you can do yourself and when you need help from others. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale's book, The Power of Positive Thinking, was published over 50 years ago and it continues to sell well because it contains such a universal truth: the attitudes we hold help shape the reality we experience.

Having a positive attitude isn't something you just tack on to your old personality. It comes from deep within you; it has to or it would get wiped out with the first sign of a countervailing negative force. But you also have to have some other source of positive energy outside yourself that keeps you going. Most probably it is other people you can rely on for support, who are also positive about your ability to succeed. Perhaps you are also motivated by the example of some historical or spiritual figure. (Martin Luther King was inspired by Gandhi...who in turn was inspired by Thoreau).

The point is, you don't do it alone - a positive state of mind comes from within and without. It requires that you embed yourself in a context of positiveness - to tap sources beyond yourself. If this trait isn't already in your repertoire, then begin here. The trait of positiveness is so attractive, other people will be drawn to you.
