Looking for some motivation?
Check out my book, Your One Word! It would really mean a lot to me. 🙂 http://www.evancarmichael.com/oneword/
Here are 32 life-changing takeaways from my book that might change the direction of your life:
1. Don’t do what the people around you think you should do. Do what’s inside you.
2. Most people live mediocre lives and have set the bar so low that they’ve created a world where it’s okay to be mediocre.
3. The people you hang out with, the websites you visit, the media you consume, everything in your environment holds you exactly where you are.
4. The Fortune 500 list was first created in 1955. Only 13 percent of the companies on the original list are still on it today.
5. You need to find your greatness.
6. Everyone starts at the start. The difference is where you see yourself going.
7. There is One Word that defines who you are, connects all the things in your life that make you come alive, and will you help escape the chains of mediocrity.
8. Steve Jobs didn’t make billions and then want to have an impact. It’s because he wanted to have an impact that he made his billions.
9. You can go as far as the mind lets you.
10. Gnothi seauton = ancient Greek proverb used as a warning to pay no attention to the opinion of the masses.
11. Marketing is about values. Apple’s core value is that it believes it can change the world for the better.
12. Once you have clarity, everything else falls into place.
13. If you’re struggling to make a decision, sleep on it and see how you feel in the morning.
14. When you know your One Word, you can make decisions that support your path.
15. Your One Word makes it easy for people to talk about you.
16. The One Word philosophy has helped entrepreneurs generate millions in sales, and it can work for you too.
17. One individual can begin a movement that turns the tide of history.
18. When you give people an opportunity to be a part of something important, they jump on board.
19. When you stand for something powerful, something that means something to you, something that other people can easily understand, people will share it and rally behind you.
20. You owe it to yourself to try so you don’t have any regrets later in life. You rarely regret the things that you try and fail at, and the upside is that you get to live your dreams.
21. If you’re not motivated, you won’t create great work. Ask yourself: What do you hate about being an employee? Why did you start? and What do you want to be remembered for?
22. Great quotes can inspire you to keep going and save you in your darkest times.
23. The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.
24. People need to understand that they have all the tools within themselves.
25. Finding your One Word is one of the most important exercises you will ever do in your life.
26. If you want to succeed, then you need to start with what makes you happy.
27. Find the common theme from the list of things that make you happy and write it down. This is where the magic starts to happen.
28. If you don’t know who you are, then start by thinking of who you aren’t. Make a list of everything and everyone that makes you unhappy, and figure out what binds them together.
28. For all of this to work, you have to be brutally honest and real with yourself. It’s about living your version of your life and following your dream, not theirs.
29. You are where you are because of what you believe. If you want to change your circumstances, you start by changing your beliefs.
30. The story you tell yourself about what you can’t do has hurt you for your entire life. Your One Word is supposed to be bold. Be bold, be proud, and love it.
31. Don’t talk more with others. Talk more with yourself. Stop being ruled by the opinions and judgments of other people. This is your life. Live it. You don’t need anyone’s permission.
32. The more powerful a word you pick, the more it will have been used. The unique part isn’t the word but, rather, your take on it.
