Wednesday Wisdom: Seize The Day!
According to Wikipedia, Carpe diem is an aphorism usually translated “seize the day”, taken from a poem written in the Odes in 23 BC by the Latin poet Horace.
The origin of Carpe diem is as part of the longer phrase “Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero”, which is translated as “Seize the day, put very little trust in tomorrow (/the future)”. The ode says that the future is unforeseen and that one should not leave to chance future happenings, but rather one should do all one can today to make one’s future better.
Are you doing all you can today for a better future or are you hoping the future will somehow take care of itself?
Don’t gamble with your success… make it happen… Seize The Day!

Monday Morning Motivation: Ali on Champions
Hi All,
It’s the beginning of the week and, as usual, your competition wants your business! This week one business will engage more customers, exceed more expectations, build more customers for life.
That business will not have employees that are thinking about achieving excellence. It will have champions that are executing excellence.
You have a decision to make…
Be average and wait for success to come to you (good luck with that) or be a champion and go to it.
Make a Great Day!

Wednesday Wisdom: Always Be Grateful
Good Day Folks,
Did you see Matthew McConaughey’s snazzy acceptance speech for best leading actor (Dallas Buyers Club) at the Oscars on Sunday night? A well deserved win for a truly talented actor and, in that speech, he referenced something that’s been a very popular Pinnacle Performance topic of mine for many years now, gratitude.
In short, he spoke about how being thankful and appreciative has a reciprocal effect that attracts greater success. Here’s the full scoop along with Matthew’s post-Oscar interview from ABC News > How Matthew McConaughey’s Gratitude Won Him an Oscar
I wrote (again) about the power of gratitude (Gratitude Is The Best Attitude) back at Thanksgiving and that’s the time of year this sentiment is most talked about and expressed in others.
However, true gratitude is not a seasonal affair. Your attitude of gratitude should be practiced year round for there is much to be thankful for.
From a purely business perspective, it is essential that your customers (and potential customers) feel that you truly care for their well-being (not just when you’re trying to sell them) and you’re truly appreciative and grateful for their business or consideration.
Always keep in mind (and heart) that when a customer purchases a product or service from your business, even if the transaction did not involve you, the customer is indirectly paying you. For, without them, there is no paycheck – no job – no business to be had.
Always Be Grateful.
Steve 🙂
