Quotations by Jack Canfield
Each of us is born with a life purpose. Identifying, acknowledging, and honoring this purpose is perhaps the most important action successful people take. To be "on purpose" means you're doing what you love to do, doing what you're good at and accomplishing what's important to you. [2005] - Jack Canfield
To create a balanced and successful life, your vision needs to include the following seven areas: work and career, finance, recreation and free time, health and fitness, relationships, personal goals, and contribution to the larger community. All you have to do is decide where you want to go by clarifying your vision, lock in the destination through goal-setting, affirmations, and visualization, and start moving in the right direction. [2005] - Jack Canfield
When you share your vision, some people will want to help you make it happen. Others will introduce you to friends and resources that can help you. [2005] - Jack Canfield
An important part of any focusing regimen is to set aside time at the end of the day--just before going to sleep--to acknowledge your successes, review your goals, focus on your successful future, and make specific plans for what you want to accomplish the next day. [2005] - Jack Canfield
Most people love to talk about how they built their business or accomplished their goals. [2005] - Jack Canfield
To make sure a goal unleashes the power of your subconscious mind, it must meet two criteria. It must be stated in a way that you and anybody else could measure it. The two criteria are how much (some measurable quantity such as pages, pounds, dollars, square feet, or points) and by when (a specific time and date). [2005] - Jack Canfield
The process of visualizing for success is really quite simple. All you have to do is close your eyes and see your goals as already complete. [2005] - Jack Canfield
Most of the good stuff requires taking a risk. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." [2005] - Jack Canfield
New experiences will always feel a little scary. They're supposed to. That's the way it works. But every time you face a fear and do it anyway, you build up that much more confidence in your abilities. If a fear is so big that it paralyzes you, scale down the amount of risk. Take on smaller challenges and work your way up. [2005] - Jack Canfield
I like to refer to negative feedback as information about "improvement opportunities.". The world is telling me where and how I can improve what I am doing. [2005] - Jack Canfield
The Rule of 5: Every day, we do five specific things that will move our goal toward completion. [2005] - Jack Canfield
Up to 90% of our behavior is habitual. If you repeat a behavior for 13 weeks, it will be yours for life. [2005] - Jack Canfield
Only about 20% of the therapists and counselors you will encounter are highly competent and effective. Ask around and get referrals. Most therapists specialize in one approach or type of therapy. There are three approaches I especially recommend--Gestalt therapy, psychosynthesis, and neurolinguistic programming (more popularly known as NLP). [2005] - Jack Canfield
Be prepared to give your mentors something in return; even if it's something simple such as keeping them updated on industry information or calling with new opportunities that might benefit them. [2005] - Jack Canfield
Intuitive impressions are often subtle and therefore "evaporate" very quickly, so make sure to capture them in writing as soon as possible. [2005] - Jack Canfield
The best way to establish rapport with people and to win them over to your side is to be truly interested in them, to listen with the intention of really learning about them. When the person feels that you are really interested in getting to know them and their feelings, they will open up to you and share their true feelings with you much more quickly. [2005] - Jack Canfield
Investing just 10% or 15% of your income will help you eventually amass a fortune. [2005] - Jack Canfield
Millionaires typically make their fortune in one of three ways: From entrepreneurship, which accounts for 75% of all the millionaires in the United States; as an executive at a major corporation, about 10% of millionaires; or as a professional practitioner (doctor, lawyer, dentist, certified public accountant, architect). Additionally, about 5% become millionaires through sales and sales consulting. [2005] - Jack Canfield
If you are getting married later in life or bringing a lot of assets to the marriage, most financial advisors will tell you to get a prenuptial agreement. If you can't talk openly about a prenuptial agreement, you probably aren't going to be able to talk openly about other difficult emotional issues when they come up. [2005] - Jack Canfield
Because many network marketing companies do not last, make sure you get solid advice about the company and its products before you get involved. Find a company that has been around for a while and has a great reputation. [2005] - Jack Canfield
