The Secret Weapon Of Success Superstars
Sometimes It’s As Easy As Having the Right Can Opener
Sometimes It’s As Easy As Having the Right Can Opener
Act as though it were impossible to fail.
Think in Positive Terms and You Will Achieve Positive Results.
Don’t Concern Yourself With Receiving. Just Give! This sets you up for attracting gifts from others.
Eventually you will come to know that TRUST is Your Natural State of Being. Until then try this prescription Mantra for Success, “I Am FULLY Open To TRUSTING The Present Moment.”
People’s lives are a direct reflection of their peer group. Surround yourself with a positive, life affirming support group of like minded people! This is absolutely essential for your success.
Let’s say that you had a friend that lived in another state and was considering changing schools based on what’s happening at his current school. Would you have a clear perspective on what a good training environment is supposed to be to help him make the right decision?
Each week, I receive emails from two types of grapplers; grapplers that love the places where they train and grapplers that hate it but refuse to leave for various reasons.
That led me to a burning question: are their warning signs for a bad training environment and what are they? And after careful thought, I created The Wise Grappler’s “10 Signs Your Training Environment Sucks” Checklist.
What are the secrets of being a great MC?
Being asked to MC an event can happen anytime. At a social setting, at work or for more formal occasions.
Because of my business as a professional speaker, I’m often called on to be a professional MC.
Take for example my recent experiences hosting the Real Estate Institute of WA’s (REIWA) formal annual dinner, and the presentation of the Kevin Sullivan memorial Award, the Institute’s highest accolade.
A professional MC can make or break an event.
What do people remember?
The mechanics and techniques for managing your time and activities are very simple and well known.
A good book to review the tools and techniques of time and activity management is ‘Building Personal Leadership: Inspirational Tools and Techniques for Work and Life’.
What is not so simple are the underlying beliefs, attitudes, and motivations of different types of individuals as they learn to use these tools and techniques.
People manage their time and activities in two very different ways according to Myers-Briggs Personality Type differences. One type of person plans far ahead, starts early, works methodically, is systematic in their actions, and completes tasks quickly.
I am writing this as a result of many emails I have received lately, commenting on the fact that things were not going according to plan for them.
With the vast amount of interest in LOA and associated subjects lately, it seems that there is more confusion than answers. One of the things that seems to be so prominent, is the fact that everyone has gone into COMPETITIVE mode. This is one of the main teachings of Wally, he states quite clearly that you should be CREATIVE not COMPETITIVE. Every time we force an issue whether it be financial , emotional, relationship or absolutely anything, we are subconsciously going into COMPETITIVE mode.
As a Business Professional it is necessary to possess a certain power in order to be
someone your potential customer would want to do business with. Business Professionals accumulate power to produce high annual incomes and to create value in their enterprise to fulfill their ambitions and live an extraordinary life. In essence, Business Professionals exchange power (they already have) with others to gain new power.
Business Professionals go through a process of accumulating power in two ways. First, through gaining knowledge through teachers, coaches, advisors and mentors to learn how to think and act effectively to cater to human and business concerns. Second, with this Knowledge Business Professionals can craft, design and make offers that others value enough to accept or take part in.
So many books, so little time. Are you feeling overwhelmed with too many opportunities for ongoing education? Learning how to determine what’s valuable and what’s not for our business advancement takes skills many of us have not acquired. We are not only bombarded by the latest book we have to read, or the newest business or personal growth seminar we have to attend, but we now have a plethora of electronic information to deal with. Websites, e-zines, and e-mails barrage our computer screen on a daily basis. Teleclasses, e-courses, and eBooks are offered from every electronic portal.
The easiest way to get dramatic results in your life is to live it at 100%. Doing this will give you tremendous results instantly. Each area that we engage in regularly will witness a big step forward. This is a key for entering the elite 3% of successful people.
Most individuals operate at less than 100%. In fact, the majority of people do not even tap into 50% of their potential effort. They have mastered the term “half assing it”. Their days are spent putting out minimal effort. Ironically, it is these people who wonder why they cannot get anywhere.
Procrastination has been a long- time problem that sometimes can be taken for granted. Studying for an exam the day before can result in low grades and nothing more – no egos have been hurt because of it. Starting on a project a week before the deadline promises to be a little challenging and exciting. Sounds a little bit easy right? Nothing deadly?
The truth is, there really is a huge problem with procrastination. Not only do we get low grades, but we lose time, effort and attention because of it. And these are factors that money can’t buy.
