1. This Week's JumpstartHuman Capital: Skillpower in the Digital AgeWhether you own your own business, hope to start your own business or are a major player on a corporate or professional career team, this message is for you. From now on, you will be paid for your "human capital," your knowledge, skills, experience, creativity and adaptability, not on your past education, resume, number of years in the organization, rank, and position. You earn an income by trading hours for dollars with a fixed salary. You create your fortune and your future security by selling your ability and creativity. You must act self-employed from now on, moving from employee to entrepreneur. No matter what organization you work for, you must take responsibility for your own career security and advancement by constantly improving your skills and contribution. You must consider yourself a permanent student and lifelong learner. The shelf-life of your formal education is about 18 months. So more than graduation from a university, you need a lifelong learning commitment. This means constantly upgrading your computer literacy and understanding of electronic commerce and the awareness that customer satisfaction will be the critical edge in personal branding of products and services in the new millennium. This week, enroll in a language or other skill-building class that will make you more employable in the advancing world economy. -- Denis Waitley
2. The Champion Within ArticleAllowing Setbacks to Spur You On by Denis WaitleyMany times, we look at high achievers and assume they had a string of lucky breaks or made it without much effort. Usually, the opposite is true, and the so-called superstar had an incredibly rough time before he or she attained any lasting success. It may motivate you more toward your own goals to know that some of the most famous and well-known people in modern times had to overcome as difficult obstacles as anyone before they finally reached the top It takes persistence and total commitment to your goals, but it's possible! You may not know the background of a certain laundry worker who earned sixty dollars a week at his job but had the burning desire to be a writer. His wife worked nights, and he spent nights and weekends typing manuscripts to send to publishers and agents. Each one was rejected with a form letter that gave him no assurance that his manuscripts had even been read. I've received a few of those special valentines myself through the years, and I can tell you first hand that they're not the greatest self-esteem builders. But finally, a warm, more personal rejection letter came in the mail to the laundry worker, stating that although his work was not good enough at this point to warrant publishing, he had promise as a writer and he should keep trying. He forwarded two more manuscripts to the same friendly-yet-rejecting publisher over the next eighteen months, and as before, he struck out with both of them too. Finances got so tight for the young couple that they had to disconnect their telephone to pay for medicine for their baby. Feeling totally discouraged, he threw his latest manuscript into the garbage. His wife, totally committed to his life goals and believing in his talent, took the manuscript out of the trash and sent it back to Doubleday, the publisher who had sent the friendly rejections. The book, titled Carrie, sold over five million copies, and as a movie, became one of the top-grossing films in 1976. The laundry worker, of course, was Stephen King. The main message - believe in your ability to turn obstacles into opportunities. Too often people try to storm their obstacles as if they're forts that need to be taken. It's better to step back and ask yourself: "Did I cause this obstacle by my own actions or lack of them? Did someone else cause this obstacle? Is this obstacle one that grew out of the natural progression of circumstances?" This last question may seem complex, but it holds a secret to the way you can set and reach your goals and achieve your destiny! -- Denis Waitley

Seeds of Greatness by Denis Waitley"The confidence you need is belief in your potential. If you see world class potential in yourself, you'll put in the effort. If you don't see the potential, you won't put in the effort and you'll wait for the performance, and the performance always follows the belief in self." -- Denis Waitley
4. The Winner's Edge Coaching TipsImprove your body language. Stand erect yet relaxed. Walk purposefully but without arrogance. Your jaw and face should be relaxed, your eyes bright and in direct contact with others while in conversation, your pronunciation should be clear, your voice projecting confidence and intensity. Always extend your hand and offer your own name first in any personal encounter -- and offer your name first in phone conversations. Smile with your eyes, voice, face and body language. In every language, a smile is a light in your window that says a caring person resides within. So this week stand tall and SMILE -- it will do wonders for you and give light to those around you! -- Denis Waitley
