He says that even though the chemicals in your body are only worth a small amount of money, your true value comes from how you manage your life. You need to view yourself as a business owner who is fully responsible for your own success or failure. Your family members are like the stockholders in your company, and it is your job to make sure the value of their stock goes up as the years go by. ✎ Earl Nightingale breaks down the three most important parts of your life business which are research, production, and sales. Research is about learning how to improve your work for today and the future. Production is the actual work you do, and sales is how you treat the people around you. He warns that if you stop paying attention to any one of these three parts, your personal company will start to fail. He also shares that you must keep growing because nothing in the world stands still, and if you are not moving forward, you are actually moving backward. ✎ The message reminds you that you have a big advantage over huge companies because you can change and get better much faster than they can. Earl Nightingale suggests that if you improve your skills by just ten percent each year, you can double your results in less than eight years. He tells you that every new day is a fresh chance to write a new story for your life. You should not waste even one hour a day because those lost hours add up to weeks of lost time every single year. ★ BOOKS ★ • Momentum: https://amzn.to/3kJZIAv • Build to Serve: https://amz…
