Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life: How to Unlock Your Full Potential for Success and Achievement

THE 40 PLUS FORMULA
Begin today to apply the “40 Plus Formula” to your work and your
career. This formula says that you work 40 hours per week in the
United States for 
survival
. If you work only 40 hours per week—if
you work only the number of hours that are required of you—then
all you will ever do is survive. You will tread water financially. You
will make enough to pay your bills and perhaps a little more be-
sides, but you will never get ahead and you will never be successful.
According to the 40 Plus Formula, every hour that you put in
over 40 hours on your job, or on yourself, is an investment in your
future success.You can tell where you are going to be five years from
now by simply looking at how many hours per week you put in on
your job. Every hour over 40 that you invest in getting more results
for your employer and your customers adds up and contributes to
your long-term success.
