Busy people drive me crazy. The whirlwind of their lives, at work and at home, reminds me of a hover craft or a hydrofoil boat – never touching the ground or the water. It’s as if they have permanent ADHD with no medication, and that impairment forces more and more activity just for activity’s sake. Productive people, on the other hand exude a calm determination. They seem to know “where they are going” and how they are going to get there, and their race is slow and steady, like the proverbial tortoise who wins the race. And what does winning the race look like?

“The secret of success: Get up early. Working late. Strike oil.” - John D. Rockefeller In a sports setting, we frequently hear the term, “raise the bar.” To “raise the bar” means that we are striving for better, further and faster. This is a big goal for everyone, but do we invariably need to raise the bar to get things achieved? Let us suppose that you desire to become a champion high jumper for example and that I am an author of the bestselling book called “How to Be a Ch

A lead generation and appointment setting campaign will only be successful if you know what exactly you should be saying to your business prospects. This makes all the difference when you are intent on generating qualified B2B leads . Just imagine: your prospect is saying one thing, and then you are proposing another. Is that not such a huge discrepancy? If you want to be sure to get good sales leads, you really have to get inside the mind of your prospects. How do they opera

One of the realities when you are a coach is eventually your engagements with your clients do end. While that usually happens when the client reaches the goal they were targeting when the coaching relationship began, it can end at any time particularly if the client does not care to continue the coaching relationship for whatever reason. I just had one such situation. While my client is still in job search, those things we worked on over the length of the coaching relationshi

Commitment, dedication, focus, intention and persistence are all key attributes we must have when we want to achieve our goals and live our dream. But the true key that unlocks the big doors is hope. We must consistently apply hope in order to dream it and live it.

I was having lunch with a friend of mine today. It seems our lunches and get-togethers happen less frequently because his day job keeps him busier every day. As he acquires new and better skills more tasks seems to be handed to him and more of his day is consumed staying above the learning curve and handling the bigger work load. Has this happened to you? The thing is, that while he loves the company he works for, respects and admires his boss, and enjoys the people he’s worked with for these many years, he also has another passion, his music.

Having a positive mental attitude is part of programming yourself to feel and believe you are optimistic in your approach to different situations that life might throw at you, and that you are going to be successful in achieving your goals. Thinking positively builds self-confidence. The thing is it only works if you want it to work! What you need to do first is you need to set out your life long goals. Think where you want to be from now say in one years time, or five years

One of our Success Circle members recently asked for more specific guidelines on setting goals.

Don’t speak “about” your matters – speak “to” them! Are you one of the many people who have felt the need to pair down their social media contacts lately? Or have you noticed that you just don’t enjoy being around certain people or groups any longer? I was recently called to eliminate some social media connections because the words they would post were far too often promoting negative thoughts and feelings. This spreads like wildfire and we need to be careful about what messages we are sending “out.” Not only do our words define us, they affect others.

It is possible. It can happen to you. You can dream it then live it. But there is no magic formula. There is no fast track to realizing your dream. There is committed, heart-felt work involved. It takes setting and achieving goals and it takes having a strategy. Why are goals important? The goal is what makes the dream become a reality. Goals give direction. Goals are measurable. The goal is the end toward which effort is directed. It is where your time, energy, finances, gifts, talents and skills are used.

It has to be stated that if you suffer from lack of self-esteem is the difference between feeling all- powerful and feeling like a little frightened rabbit that is powerless in how it controls its emotions.

What is Goal Setting? Do you find that your goal setting is not working? Do you want to achieve your goals?nnIn my travels I ran across a corporate trainer that had taught over 10,000 people traditional “Goal Setting”. He had become thoroughly disenchanted with Goal Setting! Amazing to me, he decided to quit teaching what most people believe to be one of the most potent tools for self-advancement. He found that about only 1 of every 1000 people that learned and applied Go

Success is a beautiful feeling, it feels so good. Taste it. I taste it daily. Success is a point which many people feel subconsciously bad about it. Why don’t so many people succeed? They feel it is a painful thing, so sidelining situations is easier. Remember taste the success. Think of a sweet, something super sweet. Something that makes your mouth water right now; can you feel it? I made Turkish delight and it tastes so sweet! Ok, so what is this with all the food? The answer is association. We need new associations. Try this for a moment.

A Quick Preamble: Success doesn’t just happen because you expect it to if you wait around long enough, it happens ONLY when you make it so…It has been said by more than one wise-man (and wise-woman); “If You Don’t Know Where You Are Going, There Is A Fair Chance You Will End Up Somewhere Else..!” A ‘Goal’ is like the steering-wheel of a car…if you have no steering-wheel, you’ll just be putting your life into the hands of fate because you’ll have extremely

How do we find opportunities from ideas and what separates the two? There are millions of ideas a day but what are these opportunities that can lead to business success? An opportunity is an idea that’s passed the test of planning. It has potential. You can implement it. It is something that can take a problem or issue and should be something that can change the way people think or live. In reality a good idea is nothing more than a tool in the hands of an entrepreneur. The

Overcoming the Impossiblern Almost everyone knows the value of setting goals. Setting them, writing them down, and then marching toward their completion is the best and surest way to make progress. It doesn’t matter what your goals are, as long as they’re important to you, and let’s face it, if they weren’t important to you, you wouldn’t have made them goals in the first place, right? Problems arise, however, when you feel as though you’re not making any progress.

Looking back at my school career, I have to regard myself as very fortunate. Although from a social point-of-view I am sure other people had a more successful time (I once had to change school due to bullying, before making new friends and becoming more popular), from an educational point-of-view, I hit the jackpot. I was one of the lucky children that, from a young age, was considered to be ‘bright’ and was therefore given extra-curricular activities to help me develop f

Henry Ford once said that “If you think you can, or you think you can’t–you’re right.” This quote illustrates a very important idea that is often ignored… the idea that, almost all of the time, limits on our abilities and our achievements are self-imposed. In other words, most of the limits we face are placed on ourselves. Of course, there are “real” limits that we face in life. No matter how hard we try, waving our arms will not enable us to fly.
