Potential-Maximizing Tools

Be ready to face rejection from people that don't want to see you make it. You have to toughen your skin and develop your own faith in yourself. Most people are not going to have faith in what you do. I don't care if you are on the verge of creating a vaccine that will cure AIDS, people are going to have something negative to say. 

Don't worry...your faith in yourself will overcome their disbelief.

Affirm to yourself that you are going to be a winner and that your business will prosper. Don't become discouraged when business is slow or when you don't get that big contract that you thought you were going to get. Your time is coming!

Book Excerpt: "Toughen your Skin" from Beating the Odds

"I really enjoyed reading this book! In fact, I use it as an additional reference book for my College Freshman Orientation course as well as the Psychology class that I teach. Not only did the author overcome so many obstacles in his life, he gives you inspirational insights and excellent anecdotes on how to "Beat the Odds." As a Psychologist and Psychology Professor, I highly recommend this book!"
