There are lessons all around us but it is generally up to us to observe them and make the connections. This last week, it was our dogs who highlighted to me one of the most important characteristics necessary in order for someone to achieve their personal best. I told the dogs I would take them out for a run and a potty break and as usual they were pushing at the door trying to be the first out. As soon as I opened the door, out they ran, and that was when I made my observation. We have three dogs: Jessica (my mini Aussie, who is now 6 and is a little over-weight!), Samantha Jane (Jessie’s daughter, who is 1.5 years old) and Sable (my son’s 1 year old German Shepherd). What I noticed was that, when the dogs ran together, competing with each other, they would run a lot faster than when they were just running for the joy of running. Now—this really is not very surprising as it makes perfect sense. But when you think of this in the context of the way society tends to be going these days, with kid’s no longer competing to receive 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards, but rather everyone getting participation awards, I think you will quickly see the problem. Competition is becoming a bad word for fear of upsetting the losers, but with no incentive to try harder, everyone stops giving their best. However, there is still one more step in this success equation, at least for myself—simply competing and/or winning is not enough for I am only fully satisfied when I know I have given my personal best!
Prosperity and Abundance
The most common enquiry we receive in our offices is in regards to success and prosperity. With all of this talk about the so-called ‘law of attraction,’ lots of people are simply looking for a way to change their beliefs regarding prosperity, thinking that this alone will cause money to flow to them—and in some cases it can be that simple. Our number one selling prosperity program is Prosperity and Abundance, and over the years I have heard some pretty amazing testimonials for this, ranging from the person who found a winning lottery ticket, to the person who was given a new car by a neighbor who wanted a tax write-off!
| “I have had amazing success with the Prosperity program. On the days that I listen to it on my way to work, my stock portfolios go up in value. Sounds crazy, I know, but this happens predictably and consistently At first, I dismissed this as dumb luck, but after months and months this phenomenon continues like clockwork virtually every time I listen to it!”

However, as I frequently explain, Prosperity and Abundance will only work to bring prosperity to you if the one thing keeping it away is a belief that money is bad (such as the belief that ‘all rich people must be crooks’), and it’s rarely ever that simple. If there isn’t a subconscious belief that forces you to keep money at a distance, then you need to look in other directions to see what needs to be changed in order to put you onto the path to success. Do you need to:
- Just to manage your money better;
- Have confidence in yourself;
- Open up your creative abilities to find new sources of revenue;
- Network relationships (social networking is considered to be one of the best marketing tools today!);
- Create a goal and actually achieve it; and/or
- Be more organized and efficient, etc.?
Your Personal Best
I believe that true success comes when you give your best to whatever the task is at hand. And it is not enough to just do what is asked for you, or enough to be the best of your group of friends or associates. No—true success is only possible when you give your utmost personal best, constantly competing with yourself to reach even greater heights. As Eldon says:
“Success is planned. To be successful, one must engage their very best skills and abilities. Many say they wish to be successful, but they never act. The tools for success come from inner strengths more than any other thing. Fortunes have been built from nothing more than personal best! Do your best in every endeavor and success will be yours.”
Andrea’s Story
In the 25 years I have been working with Eldon, we have had many different employees. Unfortunately, most of them are pretty unmemorable—at best they did what was asked in an adequate fashion, but many just did the bare minimum necessary to keep their jobs. However, there is one person who stands out from the crowd—way way out in front! Those of you who tune into Eldon’s incredibly educational and inspiring Provocative Enlightenment radio show will have heard us speak about Andrea. Andrea first walked into our bookstore looking for a job—she was willing to do anything as she had just moved to the area to be with her military boyfriend, and being unemployed just was not her gig! Andrea started on the very bottom rung, simply packaging CDs and handling shipping and receiving. Whatever she did, she did it to her utmost best ability—her speed and attention to detail was unrivalled. She then asked for more responsibility and we gave it to her . . . giving her more and more until she eventually carved an indispensable position for herself in our company, handling our websites, marketing, graphic designs etc. When her then husband was transferred to California, we got creative and found a way to work with her long distance. Today she is still an indispensable member of the InnerTalk team. I hope that she will always continue to be our vital virtual assistant, but if she ever decides to apply for another job, we will not hesitate to give her the most glowing of recommendations. Andrea always gives her own personal best, and as such, I know she will be successful at whatever she chooses to do.
