Often it is difficult to get through to a decision maker when you are calling on a new company. The personal assistant is operating as a gate keeper, protecting the boss from interruptions. If you can't get passed the gate keeper, ask for someone in sales. A sales person will show up immediately and tell you everything you want to know about the company and the CEO. They are paid to tell people things and will lead you the right way through the organization if you ask.

You Become What You Think About
An old saying says; "you become what you think about". Most people focus a lot of attention to what they don't want. Successful people, on the other hand, focus on what they want, they think positive thoughts and from those thoughts come positive words and positive actions, leading to positive results. To be more successful think more about what you believe, what you want and what you can do.

Motivation And Expectation
Motivation is to a large degree a result of expectation. If you expect little you will not be motivated but when you expect much you will be highly motivated. If you are not particularly motivated now is the time to change your expectations. Fuel your inner drive with inspiration. Get excited about your prospects. Someone once gave the advice to; "Dream your paintings and paint your dreams." Feed the hunger with excitement over a future reward.
