Here’s a report that I read and some of the points really ‘hit home’, so I decided I’d have some fun and illustrate it with cartoons. Hope you enjoy it too!?
“11 Reasons Why You Will Never Succeed” By Gary Vurnum
Inside this report you will find out why there are still as
many people struggling through life as there used to be,
despite more and more self-help books being sold than ever
before.
The answer lies, not in the content of the books, or the
quality of the authors, but in the person who reads them.
By their very nature, self-help books can’t give you what
you want. The path to success is completely different for
everybody…so one size never fits all.
Don’t you wonder why 97% of the population will never
succeed?
So lets get started and find out…
REASON #1 – You never act on the information you read in
self-help books.
Reading the latest book by your favourite self-help author
may be interesting, even enlightening, but it is money
wasted if you just read the book, and do nothing else.
It seems that a lot of people want to champion the fact that
they have read “hundreds” of self-help books. For all the
good it has done them, they might as well have read hundreds
of novels!
You can get something out of every self-help book you read
…if you actually do something with the information rather
than just read it. By their very nature, these books should
be treated as life “User Guides” and dipped into at regular
intervals for inspiration.
If you do read a book from cover-to-cover make sure that you
have made notes about those “Ah ha” moments that you should
have had if the book has lived up to it’s promises.
The best thing of all to do is to summarize the book
yourself…by understanding the information on your own
terms you will be more able to focus on what you can apply
in real life.
REASON # 2 – You can never imagine yourself as a success.
Think positive – don’t let the media grind you down!
It’s all the doom and gloom in the news again this week. What with a
possible double dip recession talked about I’ve decided to switch the TV
off and engross myself in some positive thinking. Which triggered the idea
for this cartoon.
“The ladder of success is never crowded at the top.”
Napoleon Hill quotes (American author, 1883-1970)
“Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.” Napoleon Hill quotes (American author, 1883-1970)
Here’s one of some health and safety cartoons I drew recently to highlight health and safety hazards within a quarry environment…
Quarrying is one of the most dangerous industries to work in, since the year 2000 over 3000 workers have suffered an injury and 24 of those being fatal.
If one of my health and safety cartoons helps cut out one of these the health and safety manager and myself would have done a worthwhile job!
It is A4 in size: 29.7 cm wide x 21 cm deep. Some of the hazards illustrated in this cartoon are: Guy climbing on truck putting sheeting on. Guy stood on railings over reaching to paint. Guy stood on the forks of a fork lift truck. Guy walking while on the phone, not noticing trip hazard wires on the ground. Guy smoking near flammable liquids.
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!
