"A person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language."
--Dale Carnegie (1888-1955)
American author and salesman

Remembering a name immediately establishes you as someone who listens… someone who cares… two very important characteristics in sales and life.

Here are 3 quick tips to help you better remember the names of anyone you meet…

You Have the Power to Live Your Dreams

The day you take complete responsibility for yourself, the day you stop making any excuses, that's the day you start moving down the road to success.

No one else can do it for you.

Only you can make it happen.

You're the only one that has to live your life.

Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility.

It's up to you to choose the thoughts and actions that will lead you to success.

Your life will be what you make of it.

Nothing will ever happen by itself.

Success will come your way once you realize that you have to make it come your way by your own actions.

The power to succeed is yours alone.

You are What you Think

Your inner thoughts can cause you to be rich or poor, loved or unloved, happy or unhappy, attractive or unattractive, powerful or weak.

What you impress upon your mind, you'll inevitably become.

It's a psychological law that whatever you desire to accomplish you must first impress upon your subconscious mind.

Relentless, repetitive self talk will change your self image.

You'll affect your subconscious mind with verbal repetition.

Constant repetition carries conviction.

When you change your values you'll change your behaviour.

Start thinking of yourself as becoming the person you want to be.

Self suggestion will make you the master of yourself.

You can become whatever you want to be.

If you believe you can, you can.

You Determine Your Attitude

Your attitude is not determined by circumstances, but by how you respond to your circumstances.
You can respond positively or negatively to any situation.
It's how you react to events, not the events themselves that determines your attitude.
Any challenge facing you is not as important as your attitude towards it, for that will determine your success or failure.

Success is Determined on the Drawing Board

It isn't enough to just want to be successful. You've got to ask yourself:
'What are you going to do to get the things in life you want?'

Your problem is to bridge the distance which exists between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach. Planning brings your future into the present so you can do something about it now. Somewhere there is a map of how it can be done. All you need is a good plan,and the courage to press on to your destination.

A well built house started with a definite purpose and a set of blueprints. Your plan should provide the pattern for the actions you'll take.

Take time each day to study, think and plan. Plan your steps, then implement your plan, then review your results.

Do this frequently and make the appropriate alterations to your plan, and you'll develop the power that will bring you to success.

No one was ever lost on a straight road.

It Takes persistance to Reach a Goal

'Keep trying' is the rule that must be followed to be successful at anything.
Your success will always be connected with your actions.
Just keep moving towards your goal.
You'll make mistakes but don't ever quit.
You may even have to hang on after others have let go.
Persistence means taking pains to overcome every obstacle, to do all that's necessary to reach your goal.

In the end, the only people who fail are those that do not try.

All great achievement takes time.

Success Attitudes

One major habit of all successful recruitment consultants is that they are dedicated to self improvement. Whether that be developing better sales skills, research skills, communications skills or time management skills, they are always improving.

On this website we bring you articles based on the specific skill sets that will help you become a better recruiter. We thought it would be a good time to broaden that scope and bring you some articles on general self improvement.

We hope that they are valuable in improving your skills and helping you enjoy this wonderful industry we work in.

It is important to remember that there is no one way of securing personal success. There are books, tapes, seminars and systems that you can buy or even get for free and we recommend that you do evaluate what is right for you as we are all unique and what works for some does not work for everyone.

There are of course some indisputable facts, techniques that have used for centuries by prominent historical figures that are still being used today. We have a look at ten success attitudes in our first article and supplement them with quotes from self improvement experts.
