Cartoons to illustrate ‘The Invisible Enemy of Success’ by Mike Litman
Just been on Mike Litman’s blog and his latest post really hit the nerve. I drew the first version of the cartoon quite a few years ago and the second one is a slight updated version after reading Mike’s post…
You can’t be a success if you listen to MENTAL JUNK…
Just too many people at an early age bought into MENTAL JUNK. They accepted limiting, defeating words spoken over them and many have brought that BELIEF into adulthood. Words have IMMENSE power. 25 times more then you can imagine.
Something Very Exciting Is Going To Happen Today!
The words we BELIEVE and say about ourselves set the limits for our lives. They do. You can’t surpass your words. You just can’t. Also, many have voids in their life because words WEREN’T SPOKEN. (You needed to hear something years ago, though it was never spoken.) You have to NOW speak these words into yourself. (I call this -Power Speak-)
Something Great Is Going To Happen To me Today!
“Something great is going to happen to me today.” “I am a success!” “I have a winning personality and people are drawn to me.” “I expect people to want to help me reach my goals.”“Making money is simple and easy.” (Too many people buy into the “Money is hard” mindset) All day you should be saying: “You have what it takes.” “Great things are about to happen to me.” Guard your mind. Stop letting defeating words into your life. Words will crush you or lift you’ve higher then you’ve EVER imagined.
No, it’s not too late to design a 2012 health and safety cartoon calendar!
The above is from a health and safety cartoon calendar I worked on this time last year with Work Safe Consultancy.
They chose and purchased 12 cartoons from the main web site: http://www.cartoonmotivators.com/Health-Safety/ and then went along to one of those digital printers who quickly knocked out about 100 color calendars. You don’t have to have a print run of thousands nowadays. You can send these out to your favourite clients – and remember YOUR name will be in front of them all year!
It doesn’t have to be a health and safety calendar – you could choose 12 motivational cartoons to keep your clients or staff motivated all year!
If your job is on the line would you be a procrastinator?
I’m not going to be a procrastinator and say I’ll put some quotes here and then never get around to it. I’m a man of action, so here’s some motivational quotes on the subject of procrastination…
Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy.
~ Wayne Gretzky
Procrastination is the bad habit of putting off until the day after tomorrow what should have been done the day before yesterday. ~ Napoleon Hill
“It’s a job that’s never started that takes the longest to finish.” – J. R. R. Tolkien
“The greatest thief this world has ever produced is procrastination, and he is still at large.” – Henry Wheelter Shaw
Procrastination makes easy things hard, hard things harder. ~ Mason Cooley
You can purchase a license to use the above cartoon ‘The Procrastinator‘ from the main site Cartoon Motivators. Maybe to motivate your staff not to do it!?
I came across this proverb and immediately had this idea come to mind…
An old proverb epitomizes the wait-and-see mentality of many people: “Man who stand on top of mountain with mouth open wait long time for roast turkey to fly in!”
It's going to be a LONG WAIT!
So the point here is TAKE ACTION – no matter how small, as long it is in the direction you want to go!
I’m going to take action – are you? I have been procrastinating of late – but I’m aware of it and will overcome it.
I’m a regular reader of Mike Litman’s blog and just had to share his latest post with you. I’ve added a cartoon I drew some time ago… “You weren’t born to be in this room tonight.” I said this to the audience of 200 people at a talk I did 2 weeks ago. There was a few seconds of silence. Many people starting shaking their heads up and down, signaling “You’re right.” “Mike, why did you say this to the audience?” Good question amigo. Throughout the night, many individuals were sharing their stories of financial struggle, being at jobs they couldn’t stand, and having too many negative people around them. You, I, WE…we weren’t born to be average. We weren’t born to strive for mediocrity in life.
Pulled down into Mediocrity - NO WAY!
You’ve got to Say Goodbye To Mediocrity!
We weren’t born to spend our lives at jobs we can’t stand. When I said to the audience, “You weren’t born to be in this room tonight”, here’s what I was really saying. You were born for GREATNESS. You were born to accomplish. You were born to have fun, be happy, serve others, and be fulfilled. You weren’t born to struggle unnecessarily. Yes, I’m all for improving yourself and going to seminars. I’ve been working on myself for years. What I was getting across to them and now to you is this. Make your move. Now.

When commissioning cartoons… Pick TWO of the three options!
Good+Fast = Expensive Choose this and I’ll postpone every other project on my drawing board, my round of golf or give up my footy match ticket and work day and night to get your job done. It WILL NOT BE CHEAP though!
Good+Cheap = Slow Choose good and cheap and I’ll still do a great job at a discounted price. But you’ll have to be patient while I fit you in after my higher paying clients, updating my web site, going down the gym, my footy matches, rounds of golf and liquid lunches!
Fast+Cheap = Inferior Choose this option at your peril. It will still be delivered on time but it will be inferior, as many corners as possible will be cut. You know the saying ‘You get what you pay for!’ The least favorable option in my opinion!
