Weekly Slogans

Weekly Slogans


In Chapter 14 of Focused Determination, a motivational technique is presented which we call “Weekly Slogans”. These are inspiring quotes or “Slogans” that you choose for personal motivation. As described in the book, you need a collection of them so that you can use a different one each week. A list is provided in the book (in Appendix B) which is included below.

As indicated in the book, this page is where you can submit your favourite weekly slogans so that other readers can get inspired by them while preparing and extending their own personal lists.

  • Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured
  • My best work is my next work
  • No matter what happens tomorrow, I am happy today
  • You cannot build a reputation on what you are going to do
  • How much is the fish?
  • What a man can be, he must be
  • It will be what it will be
  • Focus on causes that are bigger than yourself
  • Everybody is looking for something
  • Nothing lasts forever
  • Focus more on lost sales than losing money
