Hi all,

When I was invited to Japan to visit the Sony Corporation following the release of my book, ‘Secrets of the World’s Top Sales Performers,’ I learned something very interesting about Sony’s Founder.

It fact, what I learned influenced my life and my teachings profoundly. When their Founder was in his 50’s, he decided to learn to fly a helicopter. Yet his staff protested, “But Mr. Morita,” they said. “You have all the money in the world – you can save time by hiring a helicopter pilot – why would you want to learn to do it yourself?” Mr. Morita’s answer was perceptive beyond words about humanity, and something we all need to follow.

He said, “I have to keep trying new things in life to keep my confidence up.”

Think of it – a man who built a world famous company from scratch, a man who was sought after as a board member of companies worldwide – and yet he had to keep moving through new ‘challenge thresholds’ to keep his confidence up!

If that’s true for him, what about you and what about me? Don’t we all need to do this? Don’t we need to encourage our employees and loved ones to do this?

Emerson summed up the human dilemma when he said, “Fear defeats more people than any single thing in the world.” But when we examine the traits of the highly successful, we see that they are constantly pushing their ‘challenge threshold.’ In the process, they are constantly developing confidence, new skills and experience leading to the next threshold!

Dr. Lyle, who I met on my first trip to Europe while traveling on the S. S. France, is another person who influenced my life. Dr Lyle, like Mr. Morita, had also started with no money and had made major contributions to society - despite going bankrupt during the depression AND having to start all over again. Dr. Lyle’s told me his motto is - “You can’t be afraid to do things you want to do. You can’t make excuses and hold yourself back. Instead, believe that nothing is impossible.”

Like in the days of Dr. Lyle, we too are coming up against challenges (and opportunities) in our economy. New skills will be required of us. Difficult decision may be required. Research and new ways of thinking may be required. I can think of no better way to handle the future than the two mottos above – First, keep trying new things to keep your confidence up because you’ll need inner strength. Secondly, don’t let yourself get gripped by fear – instead know that nothing is impossible. Know that your answers ARE out there, or within you. But if you let fear grip you, the answers will elude you! And that’s the truth.

3 MINUTE FOCUS TIP: As you go through your day and week, notice what fears you come up against. Then follow the wise words of Morita, Emerson and Lyle:
    - Bite the bullet, sweep fear aside - try new things to keep your confidence up.
   -  Believe that nothing is impossible.
    - These will keep you from letting fear defeat you.
    Share these success points with others.
