Hi Goal Getters. Welcome to Goal Getting Podcast and the Goal Getting Quote of the Day! I'm your host, Tony Woodall. If you want to Double, Triple or increase your income 10 Times like I did and get out of dead end jobs that are taking you no where, like I did, then Listen to Goal Getting Podcast where I and my guests will teach you how to Get the Goals You Set.
One of the ways is to Stay Motivated and Get Inspired. I do that by listening to those that have done what I want to do. I also love quotes and I wanted to share some motivating and inspirational quotes from people that have motivated and inspired me.
[bctt tweet="In The middle of difficulty lies opportunity - Albert Einstein"] Today's Quote of the day is following on our Opportunity Theme. Richard Branson shared his 10 favorite quotes on opportunity and I am going to share them with you.
Richard Branson is an entrepreneur, philanthropist and humanitarian that has inspired me and millions of other people.
Albert Einstein was one of the most intelligent and wise men in history. He created and invented many things. To be such a great mind, you had to take advantage of opportunities and the thoughts and ideas that came into your mind.
In the Middle of every difficulty lies opportunity." -- Albert Einstein
What I believe he was saying with this is that whenever you hear about someone having a problem, that provides you with a great opportunity.
Most products that are created are done so to solve a problem. One of the best tips that I have received in life is to ask people what they hate to do, work on, or whatever. When you learn what it is, find a way to make it easier, faster, better and create it. This is the key to achieving your goals. Solving problems for people.
If you want to increase your income, provide value for your company or someone. When you provide value or solutions, you will excel.
In the Middle of every difficulty lies opportunity. - Albert Einstein I am so glad you were able to join us today. I hope this quote will inspire you and help you stay motivated today to work on the things that will help you Get The Goals You Set.

Foll
I am so glad you are back to listen to us today. If this is your first time listening, Thank you very much for joining ustoday. This is the Goal Getting Podcast Quote of the Day. I love to share quotes that mean something to me and or to theguest that are on my podcast. I ask all of my guests if they have a Quote that Hangs on Their Wall, or one that meanssomething to them and has helped get them to where they are today.
Today's quote is not from one of my guests, at least not yet. I do hope to have him as a guest one day. So if you know SirRichard Branson, please let him know I would love to have him on my podcast, Goal Getting Podcast. He can reach me at ...OK, OK, just kidding OK, not really, I'm not kidding..
Opportunity Favors The BoldSir Richard Branson is one of my favorite Entrepreneurs and businessman. He has turned most of the ideas he has had into amazing businesses and great adventures. He is a great humanitarian, philanthropist and motivator to millions.
I going to give you two great quotes in one today. The first one is really just a statement, but could easily be thought of as a Quote.
Richard Branson said,
Opportunity favours the bold – this is a lesson that I learned early on, and have used to guide the Virgin story."
That is an amazing truth and you can tell that he takes every opportunity he can to be bold and it has paid off for him in most cases. But he will be the first to tell you that all of the opportunities he's tried didn't succeed.
One of his most famous quotes I have seen a lot lately on social media is one that I have learned early on as well. It is one that I have lived by in my own life and career.
Listen to this quote and pay close attention:
"If somebody offers you an amazing opportunity but you are not sure you can do it, say yes – then learn how to do it later!" -- Richard Branson
The key to what Richard Branson says here is Seize the Opportunity when it comes your way, EVEN IF YOU DON"T KNOW HOW TODO IT. You can always learn how to do it later. But, you many not know how to do it, but if it's a great opportunity it may not come your way again. Grab it while it's there and Learn It when you can.
[bctt tweet="If somebody offers you an amazing opportunity but you are not sure you can do it, Say Yes – then learn how to do it later! -- Richard Branson"]
I worked for Fannie Mae years ago in their warehouse. I had taught myself how to install software on the computers we sold. I was learned how to talk to the people in the software support area. When they asked if I wanted to work in the Software Support Area, I had no idea how to program the software of talk about mortgages. I said Yes! I knew I wanted out of the warehouse and into a higher paying job. I figured I could learn what I needed.
I did.Then when they sold the company a less than a year later, the new company took only 27 of the 150 staff. I WAS ONE OF THE 27. They didn't take anyone that knew how to train customers on the Software. How to use it or How to program it. They asked who wants to do the training? No one volunteered, BUT ME! I became the Trainer. I had to learn how to teach how to program a software I had just learned how to use. I had to learn how to create training material. I had to learn how to teach people. I taught myself and learned how to do what I needed to do.
Within the next year I had more than doubled my salary I had been making in the warehouse. When I was offered the opportunity to be a consultant a couple of years later! I said Yes. I had no idea how to be a consultant. I knew the software I was consulting on. I knew how to program it, I knew how to troubleshoot it. But I had no clue how to consult on it. I got a few books, read up on how to be a consultant. What was important in software development, etc. I became a consultant charging as much as $200 an Hour.
I went from making $17,000 a year in the warehouse to charging $200 dollars an hour.
I said "Yes", when the amazing opportunity was offered.So, you should take Richard Branson's advice.
"If somebody offers you an amazing opportunity but you are not sure you can do it, Say Yes! - then learn how to do it later!"

Winston Churchill
Today's quote if from one of the greatest speakers, motivators, authors and statesmen in World History. He was and is aninspiration to many people over the world. Today, you will learn one of Winston Churchill's famous quotes that resonateswith me. No, this isn't his famous "Never Give Up" speech. That's a classic and I will undoubtedly talk about it one day.
Hello again Goal Getters and welcome back to Goal Getting Podcast and our Goal Getting Quote of the Day.
It's been a week since we start the Quote of the Day, and I am shocked to see the amount of you that seem to like theshow! I would love to hear some of your thoughts and comments on the Quote of the Day.
You are giving me your feedback in the number of downloads that I've had in the last week. I really do appreciate it.Please share the quotes with the Click to Tweet on the Podcast website at Goal Getting Podcast dot com on the episode shoenotes. The more you share, the more friends will listen.
I like to ask our guests on the show what quote hangs on their wall. Some have quotes hanging on their wall and other putthem on other things. One of my guests on the podcast is Michael Masangkay. He is also a coworker of mine and he competesin marathons, triathlons, and other races. He doesn't have a quote on his wall, but he has put his quote on his iPad Mini,which he carries with him everywhere. You will learn that quote on the Goal Getting Podcast when his episode airs, so comeback and listen to it.
Today's Quote of The Day is:
I like things to happen, and if they don't happen I like to make them happen." - Winston Churchill
Friends, There is such great POWER in that Quote. How many of us like things to happen? How many of want things tohappen, especially good things, to us?
[bctt tweet=""I like things to happen, and if they don't happen I like to make them happen." - Winston Churchill"]
BUT, how many people just sit there WAITING for those things they want to happen to happen? How many people DON'T DOANYTHING to make it Happen?
PowerfulThis quote is so powerful because it tells us that Winston Churchill Liked thing to happen but he wasn't about to sit idlyby and WAIT for it to HAPPEN and then do nothing if it doesn't. He By Bloody God "Likes To Make Them Happen"! That'spowerful.
Do you realize the power YOU have? Not only can you like things to happen, but if they don't happen, YOU can make themhappen. AND YOU SHOULD!
Let's go out and set the goals we want to achieve. Then Let's go out and make them happen! I can do it! You Can Do it!
WE CAN ALL GO OUT AND MAKE IT HAPPEN! Make it Happen today! Are you with me? What are you going to make happen TODAY?
Let me know. Leave me a comment at GoalGettingPodcast.com/QOD10 and TELL ME WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE HAPPEN TODAY!

The Father of American Psychology
"The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it. -- William James.
I'd like to thank Brandon Clay for the 5 Star Rating on iTunes and his nice review - Brandon says:
Get your mind playing for your team" - love the line. It is so true that measuring is the first step to doing. Keep up the Great work, Tony!"
Thanks Brandon. Brandon is referring to the episode where I talked about how we have to Stop Letting our mind play goalie for the other team. You know how when you are getting ready to start or achieve a goal, you mind comes up and starts that negative, stinkin' Thinkin' and like the goalie for the other team, Slaps down your goal! BAM!
So, Don't Let Your Mind Play Goalie for The other Team.
That's not our quote for today, we did that one a few days ago. Today's quote is one that my friend Beau Henderson of The RichLife recommended on the podcast the other day. If you haven't listened to Beau, you can find his Podcast by CLICKING HERE and listen to his interview where he talks about the 10 Investments for True Wealth and helps you learn to live the RichLife.
Beau's quote is from William James, an American Philosopher and the Father of American Psychology.
[bctt tweet=""The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it." -- William James"]
Isn't that what we want to be able to do? Leave a legacy, whether it be for our children, our family, or just the world in general.
We have had a couple of great guests lately that talk about living the RichLife and Living on Purpose. And I think that is something that many of us strive for. It is something that has been resonating with me lately. And as one of my mentors and friend, Aaron Walker talks about, we should strive to grow from Success to Significance.
Are you using your life to spend it for something that will outlast it?
Thank you again for listening to Goal Getting Podcast where every Wednesday we provide guests or information that will help you get the goals you set.
One of the things that Brandon Clay was talking about in his review on iTunes was that it is true that measuring is the first step to doing. That's one of the major steps we teach on Goal Getting Podcast. Measuring your goals. Setting up your action plan and then doing daily measurements of them to ensure that you do them. Part of that measurement includes paying yourself / rewarding yourself for achieving those steps.
