America's Success Team Commander - Start/Stop List for Success www.bryanthalstead.com

STOP wasting time making excuses and complaining about your current situation.

START taking responsibility for your actions and hold yourself accountable for the results.

STOP looking for other people and things to make you happy.

START doing things that make you happy, make you feel good about yourself, and fill you with joy.

STOP wasting time doing unproductive things like watching prime-time TV for 4-5 hours every evening.

START reading books, listening to CD’s, and attending seminars on personal development.

STOP going through life without a plan or direction, like a bottle drifting in the ocean.

START creating a vision of who you want to be, write it out, set goals, and start working the plan.

STOP spending time with negative people that suck the joy out of every room they walk into.

START associating with positive people that have achieved more than you, learn from them, then do what they do.

STOP worrying about stuff that you do not control.

START focusing on what you can control, YOU.

STOP neglecting you... saying YES to everyone, being such a pushover and doing everything for everybody else.

START saying NO! Do stuff that furthers progress towards the goals that you have set.

STOP listening to everyone else’s opinion about you and what you are doing. Their self-imposed limitations suck!

START believing in yourself, your capabilities, and work the plan like failure is not an option.

STOP engaging in destructive behaviors like excessive drinking, eating, smoking cigarettes, etc.

START taking care yourself. Treat yourself like a finely tuned machine.

STOP doing things the way you have always done them because it’s the way you have always done them.

START looking for new and innovative ways to improve upon everything that you do.

Just Believe...
