The greatest secret to success

I was privileged to be part of his audience on the 9th October 2013 where he spoke in a business forum under the theme “business leadership in the 21st century’”. In celebrating Dr. Miles Munroe’s life, I share my bullet point notes

The key to wealth

• Think beyond your JOB. There is no future in any JOB; the future is in the one who holds the JOB
• Create your business in your JOB. Make yourself disciplined in your WORK
• Never confuse your WORK to be your JOB
• Your JOB is what you were trained to do; your WORK is what you were born to do
• Your JOB is your career; your WORK is your life assignment
• Your JOB is your skill; your WORK is your gift
• You can retire from your JOB; you can never retire from your WORK
• JOBs prepare you for your WORK
• JOBs are temporary; WORK is permanent
• You can be fired from your JOB; but you can never be fired from you WORK
• You can retire from your JOB; but you can never retire from your WORK
• Your WORK protects you from your JOB
• Your WORK is your seed
• It is God who gives you the ability to produce wealth. God does not give bread but seed

The power of thought

• You are always in control of your; mentality, thoughts, mind and perception
• Leaders don’t wait, they initiate. Whoever initiates controls.
• Leaders make things happen

The power of perception

• Whatever you call or label a thing, that is what it becomes to you. Whatever a thing is to you controls your response to it
• Controlled perception is not denial of reality but the control of one’s response to reality
• It is not what happens to you that matters, it’s what you do about it
