Cartoon video for Everything Counts web site intro!
June 16, 2009 by cartooninggeniusCartoon movie for Everything Counts web site!
June 16, 2009 by cartooninggeniusThe above cartoon video was produced with Gary Ryan Blair of The Goals Guy. Gary emailed me the audio file and I listened to this and jotted down ideas, created all the cartoons to suit the script and emailed them back to him. There was some going backwards and forwards before we got all the cartoons right. It was something new for me to work on and was very challenging. A very enjoyable project!

June 15, 2009 by cartooninggeniusREASON # 9 – You worry more about job security,
than how happy you are.
Enjoy your ONE life!
Job security is all in your mind.
How do you know that the company you work for will be around
in a year’s time, let alone ten year’s time? If you dread
waking up on a Monday morning…
- Find a different job, or
- Find a way to supplement your income so that you can leave
and do what you would really love to do.
I went against my wife and family and quit my job, despite
having no savings. I quit to do this. It’s what I want to do
with my life. Period.
Two years ago, I was counting the years to I retired at 60
with a full two-thirds pension. So what changed?
I changed…because the world won’t.
I decided that I couldn’t be unhappy for 40+ hours a week
…I decided that I wanted to see my family grow up…I
decided that I wanted to help my wife more with our
disabled son.
I decided to do what I wanted to do…and not what society
expects me to do. That’s why I wrote my eBook -
“The Science of Success”
I had a good career…with a decent salary. But I realised
that we are here to enjoy life…and not to struggle with
life. I have seen enough miserable people who work 70+
hours a week and have a fantastic salary…yet their kids
hardly know them.
It’s your life…and you only get one shot at it.
So you might as well enjoy it!
I hope that this part of the report has shown you
that there are more ways to be a success, other than what
can be measured in monetary terms.
ADULT STRESS TEST – Are you stressed out?
June 12, 2009 by cartooninggeniusADULT STRESS TEST
Are the patterns moving?
Or are they perfectly still??
Is this moving - Stress Test image!
What's happening here? Stress Test image No.2
The patterns are used to test the
level of stress a person can handle.
The slower the pictures move, the
better your ability of handling stress.
Alleged criminals that were tested
see them spinning around madly.
However, senior citizens and kids
see them standing still.
None of these images are animated
- they are perfectly still.
I know it was nothing to do with motivational cartoons – but a friend emailed them to me this morning and I thought I’d share them with you! I haven’t a clue why this happens – any ideas?

June 11, 2009 by cartooninggeniusREASON # 8 – You believe that you can only make
money if you have money.
You Can't Beat A Great Desire!
If you were to analyse how self-made millionaires made their
fortune, you would undoubtedly find that most of them started
with practically nothing.
With opportunities such as Network Marketing and the Internet
ordinary people have the opportunity to start a business at
very little cost. The degree of effort, and not the amount of
money, separates the rich from the poor.
Why is it that when you look at the Western world there is a
higher proportion of ethnic-minority millionaires than in the
general population? Part of it may be in the difference in
cultures…but the biggest reason is DESIRE.
How many stories do you read year after where millionaires
are interviewed…and they say that they came to America with
only the clothes on their back?
Because they appreciate how lucky they are…and what an
opportunity it is for them…they work…and work…and work.
They work until they become successful. Money doesn’t come
into the equation.
Success is a feeling…it isn’t an amount.
Once you realise that, you will realise that money is just a
part of the overall package.

June 10, 2009 by cartooninggeniusREASON # 7 – You look at what you can buy with
your salary increase – not how much you can save.
I know many people that have homes to die for. The only
problem is that their mortgage is bigger than the house!
The equation is simple – if you increase your borrowings in
line with your salary you will be poor when you retire. If
you increase your savings in line with your salary you will
become rich when you retire. It’s really that simple.
In the classic book “The Richest Man in Babylon”, George S.
Clason wrote that if you saved 10% of your salary every
month…you would become rich. Although the book was written
in the early 20th century…it’s probably more relevant than
ever.
Save a proportion of your salary every month…even if it is
only 1%. And make sure that you cannot easily access it. If
you do this…not only will you have some money behind you
…but you will also get into the habit of saving.
Believe me…once you get into that habit…you will get as
much pleasure from saving and investing as you do from
spending.
It may seem unbelievable to you…but take my word for it -
it’s true!

Cartoon to illustrate – No FREE lunches!
June 5, 2009 by cartooninggenius“There ain’t no free lunches in this country. And don’t go spending your whole life commiserating that you got the raw deals. You’ve got to say, ‘I think that if I keep working at this and want it bad enough I can have it.’ It’s called perseverance.”
Lee Iacocca
Businessman and Former CEO of Chrysler
Perseverance. - I want it bad enough!
Here’s a few of my other favourite motivational and inspirational quotes…
The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won’t. – Henry Ward Beecher
Don’t be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves. – Dale Carnegie
When the world says, “Give up,”
Hope whispers, “Try it one more time.”

Cartoon – Going The Extra Mile!
June 3, 2009 by cartooninggenius“Four short words sum up what has lifted most successful individuals above the crowd; a little bit more. They did all that was expected of them and a little bit more.”
A. Lou Vickery
Writer
Going The Extra Mile!
The above is a cartoon on my Cartoon Motivators site, someone saw this and then commissioned a redraw of the cartoon for one of their advertisements…

I’m happy to work with you on your ideas, marketing and advertising!
Cartoon – Britain’s Got Talent!
June 2, 2009 by cartooninggeniusI started drawing this cartoon up last week – then got sidetracked with urgent pressure jobs, so it’s probably lost a bit of it’s effect now that the show is over. But it still has a motivational message underneath it – YOU SHOULD NEVER GIVE IN!
Moral: “Anyone can give up, it’s the easiest thing in the
world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else
would understand if you fell apart, that’s true strength.”
(Even Simon Cowell gets it wrong sometimes!)
“11 Reasons Why You Will Never Succeed” By Gary Vurnum PART 6
May 29, 2009 by cartooninggeniusREASON # 6 – You believe that you should enjoy
life whilst you can.
So you might get run over by a car tomorrow…but the
chances are you won’t.
Thanks to advances in healthcare, you could well be
retired longer than you worked for. Never let your
borrowings grow old with you; pay them off as soon as you
can.
What is the biggest cause of arguments between married
couples? Money.
What is the biggest cause of the poor getting poorer and
the rich getting richer? Abuse of money.
Have you noticed that the most addictive substances are
those that have to be replaced again and again?
- Alcohol
- Cigarettes
- Drugs
I would put money firmly in the same category. The
people who want more money the most…go out of their
way to dispose of it and get the thrill as quickly as
they can.
Rich and successful people look after their money.
They nurture it, so that it reproduces and grows. Poor
people waste it.
If you spent $3 every working day on a coffee instead
of putting the money towards paying off a credit card
…then you would be almost $6,500 worse off after 5
years!!!
Just for having a coffee!
I hope that these steps have helped you realise that
it’s the little things that make a difference!
I’m a great fan of Gary Vurnum’s work and you can read more here…
