Putting Desire into Action

Here are the pictures from the event
According to Napoleon Hill ‘Desire is the starting point of all achievement’. Bob Garbett takes it one step further and says ‘Desire is nothing without passion’.
Passion was in evidence in every word of Bob’s presentation as he explained how his military training is easily translated into taking action to get a business idea working.
His main points are:
*If you aren’t passionate about what you’re doing – do something else. He describes passion as a crazy mad emotion that you absolutely have to satisfy, not a rational reasoned argument for doing something.
*Aim for complete success – why would you settle for anything less?
*Don’t do it for the money.
*Don’t listen to reason, just the facts. There will always be people who tell you it can’t be done and why – you may even tell yourself this but if the facts add up and you’re passionate enough you’ll make it happen.
*Make decisions not deliberations. Don’t spend so much time weighing up the pros and cons that you drive yourself mad. Just get on with it.
*Never give up. You may need to find a way around obstacles or take a different route but keep going until you get there.
*Think fast and move fast. Don’t look back in ten years time and wonder why you didn’t get anywhere.
*Manage the risk. What will you need or risk in terms of money/ getting the right team/ the right environment?
*Just do it. We regret the things we didn’t do more than the things we do.
*Follow through. It will get rough, you will get criticism, you will fail occasionally, but if you follow through you cannot FAIL.
