David Schwartz: The Magic of Thinking Big
Just finishing up this book. Wow! One of my all time favorites. There are so many nuggets of information I have to go back and re-read, so I can soak up some more knowledge. (*****)
Norman Vincent Peale: The Power of Positive Thinking
One of my top 5 favorite books. It always comes down to what's between your ears! (*****)
James Allen: As A Man Thinketh
Just finished reading this book for the first time and I loved it. It is a quick easy read that focuses on you. "All that we achieve and all that we fail to achieve is the direct result of our own thoughts." (*****)
Sean Covey: The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People
They say "Do what they do if you want what they have". Might as well add these 7 habits to your lifestyle. (****)
Dale Carnegie: How to Win Friends & Influence People
Just re-read this one and I loved it more the second time. The major concept I took from this book is that everyone's favorite subject is themselves! And of course everyone's favorite sound is their own name. (*****)
Napoleon Hill: Think and Grow Rich
An instant classic! This was the first book I was told to read. I've read it 3 times since then. (*****)
Jeff Olson: The Slight Edge
This is a great book that really forced me to make progress in all areas of my life, (financially, spiritually and physically) (****)

Nenita and George Aliermo held the Newark, NJ Symmetry Celebration last weekend. (You can see them standing with Mr. Rudy Revak in the picture to the left). It was our last Celebration of the year and great for all who celebrated their Success.
Here is Dr. Howard Cohn and Mr. Rudy Revak.
Symmetry BP's enjoying the event!
"Successful people have an uncommon, positive attitude about adversity."
John Maxwell
This summary is from Chapter 11; How to Turn Defeat Into Victory.
1) Study setbacks to pave your way to success.When you lose, learn, and then go to win next time.
2) Have the courage to be your own constructive critic. Seek out your faults and weaknesses and then correct them. This makes you a professional.
3) Stop blaming luck. Remember blaming luck never got anyone where they wanted to go.
4) Blend Persistence with experimentation. Stay with your goal, but don't beat your head against a wall.
5) Remember there is a good side to every situation. Find it. See the good side and whip discouragement
Last weekend in Chicago, Mr. Joe DeLisle's Team held a Boot-camp training. Many Symmetry Business Partners got together and went over success principles and got to learn from top Symmetry Business Partners. Here are some pictures from the event:
To the left we have Ms. Laura Senkowski, Ms. Stephanie VerSteeg and Mr. Brodie
Congratulations to Joe and Josie Medina for being 2008-2009 Entrepreneur of the Year!
2nd place goes to Dr. Wiletha Williams
3rd place goes to Dr. Joyce Scott.
Thank you to all who made it possible for Symmetry to have another successful year! I look forward to even greater achievements along the journey to success.
Just got back from Vegas. I had a chance to get together with the managers of some Symmetry's other countries. I thought I should introduce them to you.
From left to right: Mr. Brian Niederhaus, Ms Beth Anana (PHI), Mr. Nicholas Voisin (Caribbean), Mrs. Jess Ojeda (PHI), Ms. Arlene McKenna (Caribbean) and Mrs. Marjory Sheflin (CAN).
They do a great job of supporting our Business Partners across the globe!
"Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old by deserting their ideals.
You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt;
as young as your self confidence, as old as your fear;
as young as your hope, as old as your despair."
Douglas MacArthur
This summary is from Chapter 10; Get the Action Habit.
1) Be an activationist. Be someone who does things. Be a doer, not a don't-er.
2) Don't wait until conditions are perfect. They never will be. Expect future obstacles and difficulties and solve them as they arise.
3) Remember, ideas alone won't bring success. Ideas have value only when you act upon them.
4) Use action to cure fear and gain confidence. Do what you fear and fear disappears.
5) Think in terms of now. Tomorrow, next week, later and similar words often are synonymous with the failure word never.
6) Get down to business pronto. Don't waste time getting ready to act. Start acting instead.
7) Seize the initiative. Be a crusader. Pick up the ball and run. Be a volunteer. Show that you have the ability and ambition to do.
The last Celebration of the year is happening today in Newark, NJ. Mr. Rudy Revak, Mrs. Nenita Aliermo, Dr. Howard Cohn among other top Symmetry BP's will be speaking at this event. Don't miss your chance to take your business to the next level.
