MONDAY MENTAL PROTEIN: Are You Your Own Enemy?

Let’s talk truth…governments around the world are weak, economists forecasts for the world’s economy is bleak, employment numbers are up and many are cowering in fear, surrendering to the status quo, adopting the excuses of the media and the masses.

Now let me flip the coin on you…governments are still collecting billions in taxes, economies (personal and business) are growing, companies are minting dollars and many are taking advantage and are rising above the dictates of mass hysteria and media gloom.

The old adage; “is the glass half full or half empty”.  Yes it’s all perspective.  How do you see it?  Is it a problem or do you see the opportunity?  You can hide behind excuses or you can rise to action.  Even in the world’s most depressed economies there are new millionaire and billionaire debutants.  How do you explain that?  Well, simply it means those people are dictating their own reality.  The refuse to subscribe to the opinions of others, for factually is the glass half empty or half full is really just an opinion, reflecting your reality.

You must ask, are you your own enemy, holding yourself back on the accounts of others…forcing their reality upon you?  Reality is a choice.  Winners are creating their own reality perpetually.  They see the way around, through, over and under the “problem”, for they see them as opportunities.  They are willing to do what others are not willing to do, because everyone else only sees the pain.  Winners only see the gain which they are willing to pay for with effort.

The next time you choose your reality ask yourself?  Am I a victim of my own reality?  Or am I championing my cause, from the front, creating a reality that serves my success?  Are you getting down and dirty where others want to keep their hands clean?  By making more calls, investing in your networks, growing your skills and pushing harder while others are retreating, you are are sure to dominate the future.  If you fall asleep at the wheel, surely you can’t win the race.  So wake up and get committed, creating a reality that sees you and your team mount the summit of success.

Stop being your own enemy.  Commit to never becoming a victim of your own dogma.  Rather champion your reality and make it happen.

MONDAY MENTAL PROTEIN: DISSONANCE

Often times you may find yourself wondering, even feeling highly frustrated, with little or no room, options or opportunities to maneuver in securing the much coveted prize…Your personal or professional success.  

This feeling of total dissatisfaction or frustration with the status quo is referred to as dissonance.

The dictionary defines DISSONANCE as:

“A lack of harmony among musical notes” AND “A lack of agreement or harmony between people or things”.  

In our development, dissonance is the incongruence with our potential and our results.

Why is dissonance so important you may ask?  Well, simply put it’s the precursor to all greatness.  Many of man’s greatest discoveries were based on massive dissonance.  Our frustration with the cold and the inability to cook, led to the discovery of fire by primitive man.  The frustration with having to replace lamps with oil or gas led to the discovery of electricity.  The frustration with snail mail led to the discovery and creation of email.  The frustration of the encyclopedia led to the discovery and creation of Google.  So clearly dissonance played a great role in all the greatest creations, innovations and discoveries  that have taken man from the dark age into the current age.  Dissonance makes you move in the direction of your goals.

Dissonance is the driving factor across all disciplines:

The golfer who wants to improve his handicap.

The athlete who wants to improve her time.

The businessman wants to improve his bottom-line…

They’re all driven by their unhappiness with the status quo to improve, better and achieve up to their potential.

As you go along your business today reflect on all the matters that are close to your heart and ask yourself do you have a high enough degree of frustration to want to make lasting and meaningful change?

Here is how to use your dissonance in the direction of your goals…

1. Learn from nature – Go to the soil with your seed, not with your need.  Everyone wants and needs a shopping list, but how many plant seeds for future needs?
2. Sow more than you reap – Stop asking, whats in it for me.
3. Translate your wisdom into action – Knowing is not enough, doing is not enough.  Heart and mind union causes results, so know more, do more and achieve more.
4. Nurture and guard your “garden” – don’t let the mad elephant into the room.  It will destroy you and your harvest.

MONDAY MENTAL PROTEIN: Are you up for this challenge?

Today I want to challenge you. I mean really…challenge you. Force you to face reality. Consider the following…

1. The competition will swallow you alive, chew you up and spit you out:

Never before has the world become this melting pot of nationalities and multinationals who are all competing for resources: Jobs, homes, contracts, services, customers etc. Yes, everyone has already landed and more are on their way in, in search of new gold. The new graduates, 1st generation immigrants and new multinationals are willing to work twice as hard as you and at half your income. They will put in more hours and will want to impress your boss and customers with their skills and competencies. Beware, you may sooner or later become redundant unless you act in the present to secure your future. The multinationals have deeper pockets backed by their Dollar, Euro, Pound, Yen etc. and can sustain long droughts to get to your market share,

2. Is your PTY. LTD. (YOU) a growth stock or has it become a has-been company?

Have you seen your hey day and now it’s the twilight years of your career? Has your IP increased and remained immensely competitive with the rest of the first world or have you settled into 3rd world offerings, quality and delivery?

3. Are you a one hit wonder who will never see glory again?: You came, you sang and you were conquered?

Hardly a few will admit the harsh truth and man up to reality. If you don’t shape up, sadly you will ship out. It’s not my rule or law. It’s the laws of nature and nature is not capricious. Nature is consistent, whoever you are. It’s the survival of the fittest.Those who innovate, create and serve the needs of the ever changing times shall survive. The rest, end up in dust.

So whatever your position today, good, bad or ugly…sharpen your tools. When Abraham Lincoln said, “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe”, he had the luxury of time. The world turned slowly. Globalization was not born yet and competition was sparse. Today, you need to sharpen that axe faster than the competition. Better still you need an axe that wont get blunt, that runs on sunshine during the day and moonshine at night, that runs 24 hours a day and 365 days a year.

Go on and get the EDGE. Here is a parting shot to inspire you by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:

“The heights by great men reached and kept, were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.”

Wishing you constant and never ending growth and achievement.

I’m your coach and partner in success…

CONVERTING CUSTOMERS TO FANS

Too many of us are concerned with success alone. Success is really the final number, emotion, sentiment or feeling at the end of any transaction between family, friends, employers and employees, business and customers.

Here is ONE idea which will make your customers your greatest fans! VALUE: “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value” – Albert Einstein said.

By being customer centric, ADD MASSIVE VALUE AND WATCH THEM KEEP COMING BACK, time after time…and enjoy lasting success

Based on your business, VALUE could mean additional services or benefits in the interest of the customer.  Its not limited in any way and could take on a myriad of forms.  If you offer exceptional service or unique benefits in your industry that customers value, you are on your way to the major leagues and as you know major league teams have major fans, following your every move.

So keep on styling and converting your customers into your greatest fans…

I’m your coach and partner in success
