Personal Initiative
by Frank Stewart
 

Strength and struggle go hand in hand. Render more and better service than you are paid for, and sooner or later you will receive compound interest from your investment. Q1+Q2+MA=C, the Quality of the service rendered, plus the Quantity of service rendered, plus the Mental Attitude in which it is rendered equals your Compensation. Trust yourself, and you will always have someone to rely on. When you do more than you are paid to do in a willing and cheerful manner, you will develop a positive and pleasing attitude, the cornerstone of an attractive personality. Make going the extra mile a habit!

The end of the rainbow is at the end of the second mile. The more you give, the more you get. You must achieve success for yourself without someone telling you what to do or how to do it. You are a leader in your field if you rate high on each of the following characteristics of personal initiative as outlined by Napoleon Hill:

The adoption of a definite major purpose
The motivation to act continuously in pursuit of that purpose
A mastermind alliance to acquire the power to attain that purpose
Self-reliance
Self-discipline
Persistence, based upon the will to win
Well-developed imagination, controlled and directed
The habit of prompt, definite decision making
The habit of basing opinions on known facts, not guesswork
The habit of going the extra mile
The capacity to generate enthusiasm at will and control it
A well-developed sense of details
The capacity to listen to criticism without resentment
Familiarity with the ten basic human motives
The capacity to concentrate attention on one task at a time
Assuming full responsibility for one’s own actions
Willingness to accept full responsibility for the mistakes of subordinates
Patience with subordinates and associates
Recognizing the merits and abilities of others
A positive mental attitude at all times
The capacity for applied faith
The habit of following through
The habit of emphasizing thoroughness instead of speed
Dependability

In the years I spent studying the principles of success, I have observed many extraordinary people. The above list of qualities has constantly appeared in my observations. Identify these characteristics in yourself as you are now. Think about how you can increase and strengthen these characteristics.
