Seven Classic Ways to Top Achievement: Napoleon Hill’s Principles
“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve,” said Napoleon Hill, the legendary personal-development expert and author. For most of his life, Hill lived with the conviction that every failure carried with it the seed of equivalent advantage. Here are seven of his principles for extraordinary achievement:
1. Definiteness of Purpose. Definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all achievement. Without a purpose and a plan, people drift aimlessly through life.
Definite purpose!
2. Mastermind Alliance. The Mastermind principle consists of an alliance of two or more minds working in perfect harmony for the attainment of a common definite objective. Success does not come without the cooperation of others.
3. Applied Faith. Faith is a state of mind through which your aims, desires, plans and purposes may be translated into their physical or financial equivalents.
4. Pleasing Personality. Personality is the sum of one’s mental, spiritual and physical traits and habits that distinguish one from all others. It is the factor that determines whether one is liked or disliked by others.
5. Personal Initiative. Personal initiative is the power that inspires the completion of that which one begins. It is the power that starts all action. No person is free until he learns to do his own thinking and gains the courage to act on his own.
6. Positive Mental Attitude. Positive mental attitude is the right mental attitude in all circumstances. Success attracts more success, while failure attracts more failure.
7. Enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is faith in action. It is the intense emotion known as burning desire. It comes from within, although it radiates outwardly in the expression of one’s voice and countenance.

“People who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defenses, or the problems of modern society.” Vince Lombardi
The above quote sparked off this cartoon that I did for Kent Meters here in the UK years ago and recently redrew it to bring it up to date. (My job was to illustrate a 24 page brochure that would be given to all employees to help them understand the need for Total Customer Satisfaction.) You can see all the cartoons at: http://www.cartoonstudio.co.uk/Pages/kmeters1.html
Teamwork at it
These are some of my favourite ‘teamwork’ quotes:
There is no “I” in “TEAMWORK“. Unknown
It is amazing how much you can accomplish when it doesn’t matter who gets the credit.
TEAM = Together Everyone Achieves More
Henry Ford
Coming together is a beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.
Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results. Andrew Carnegie
Lou Holtz, former Notre Dame football coach
All winning teams are goal-oriented. Teams like these win consistently because everyone connected with them concentrates on specific objectives. They go about their business with blinders on; nothing will distract them from achieving their aims.
Coming together, sharing together, working together, succeeding together. Unknown
Let me know if you have any good ‘teamwork’ quotes!?
Here’s a cartoon inspired from a great quote by Mahatma Ghandi – Struggles Develop Strengths, Strength Does Not Come From Winning!
Here’s another quote about how struggles develop strengths…
“The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That’s what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they’ll go through the pain no matter what happens.” ~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
Remember – Struggles develop strengths. It’s no good wimping out at the first sign of trouble!

Road to Confidence!
Having been skeptical about trying out a new company especially from the internet without any recommendations, I can honestly say. Richard Duszczak of Cartoon Studio Ltd’s work is amazing, his turn around time was exceptionally fast, and any requests for amendments were literally carried out in minutes. I definitely will work with Cartoon Studio Ltd again, I am always keen to work with professional people, particularly those who are passionate about their work, provide an excellent level of professionalism and are exceptionally skilled at their work.Charmaine Pollard Principal Consultant

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!
