Book Description

Thank you ... Muchas gracias ... Tusen tak ... Merci beaucoup. No matter what language you speak you can own and operate a Rent-A-Maid business. The boundaries of how large or how many areas in which you operate are only in your dreams. WHAT YOU THINK YOU BECOME! Always think positive thoughts; your thoughts control you right down to your next step. Never give up. Take a vacation yes, but remember you need to get back up some day. The sooner the better: get started and get back to work. It may sound like I am writing this to myself, and I am. I closed my Rent-A-Maid office in Oklahoma City in the fall of 1997. I enjoyed running Rent-A-Maid; it was fun, exciting, challenging and sometimes it was a heartbreaking job, but it was easy. So, ten years later, I’m starting again. I’m a strong believer in God, the Holy Spirit and Jesus. I believe that those who believe in him succeed in ways that the secular world would not believe. If you are a believer, that was the biggest step that you have ever made. No one is perfect, but we can strive in that direction. Your next big step is to make up your mind that you’re going to do this. As Napoleon Hill once said, “Do it now”. Please understand my friend, that where you find yourself tomorrow is a function of the positive decisions and actions you take today. Opportunities are like sunrises - if you wait too long, you miss them. Progress always involves risks. You can ́t steal second base and keep your foot on first. To solve any problem, here are three questions to keep in mind. First, what could I do? Second, what could I READ? And third, who could I ask? Don ́t wish it were easier, wish you were better. Take advantage of every opportunity. The wonderful thing about the game of life is that winning and losing are only temporary...unless you quit. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. This book is written in faith 2.
