Success Comes From Living Your Purpose
To develop your personal clarity or purpose you need to do three things. First, define what success means to you. Second, create a vivid mental image of you as a success. Third, clarify your personal values. Ask yourself a simple question almost every day. "Did the things I did today support my life’s purpose?" If you answer, "yes," consider it a successful day. If you answer "no," think about what you can do the next day to get back to living your purpose. Have a clear and vivid mental image of what success means to you. Live your life’s purpose every day. If you haven’t clarified your purpose in life, this is a good time to start. Once you get clear on your purpose, live it every day in all your actions.
The Watermelon Credo, Self Confidence and Success
Self confidence is a key to career and life success. Successful people are self confident. Optimism is the foundation of self confidence. Wally Amos, founder of Famous Amos Cookies and Uncle Wally's Muffin Company, says it well in his Watermelon Credo. "Whatever you believe creates your reality. Believe that life is a positive experience and it will be." Optimists believe that life is a positive experience. I believe that life is a positive experience. Of course, I'm a relentless optimist. How about you?
Self Confidence
There are a few common sense points associated with self confidence. Believe in yourself. Your career success will be built on your self confidence. First, be optimistic. As the Optimist Creed says, "Be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble." Second, take action. Face your fears and deal with them. Live your life in the career success arena, so you will know the "triumph of achievement." Third, find the positive people around you. Hold on to them. Identify the negative people around you. Jettison them. Find a career success mentor and learn everything you can from him or her.
Successful People Focus on Their Goals
Successful people commit to taking personal responsibility for their lives and careers. They set high goals and do whatever it takes to achieve them. Focus on your goals every day. Stop for a minute several times a day and ask yourself if what you are doing is bringing you closer to achieving at least one of your goals. If it isn't, stop what you're doing and start doing something related to achieving your goals.
Successful People Treat Life as a Splendid Torch
Successful people commit to taking personal responsibility for creating the successful life and career they want and deserve. They set high goals -- and do whatever it takes to accomplish them. They react positively to the people and events in their lives -- especially the negative people and events. They relish the days when they have a lot to do, and then go on and do it. They get great satisfaction from working hard and seeing the results of their labor.

The 21st Century Model For Achievement!
When it comes to achievement, I think a lot of people miss the fact that it's an uphill process. You have to climb the mountain first before you reach the peak. It's a journey that almost always involves obstacles. And, it involves doing what it takes to overcome the obstacles. So what's all the confusion? Why are there so many people proclaiming it's just not meant to be? Perhaps they don't understand exactly what uphill means? It's a metaphor for the obstacles and challenges that stand between you and a successful outcome. Listen closely and you'll often hear people who believe such roadblocks are not supposed to happen. I am amazed that in the 21st century there are still people who don't comprehend the fundamental process of achievement. More amazing is how many employers do not know how to hire employees who are ineffective at it.
Objective Reality
If you want to create results that are truly important to you, it is critical to separate your identity (who you are) from the results you want. Feeling good or bad about yourself has little bearing on the quantity or quality of your results. If you doubt this, consider famous people with extreme self-doubts or poor self-concepts who produced spectacular results. The results of standardized tests indicate that students who "felt good about themselves" often performed lower than the scores they predicted they would achieve.

TRUTH IN INTERVIEW - Part I
This is a two-part article. In PART 2: Help is available! The conclusion includes Interviewing This is a two-part article. The conclusion includes Interviewing Tips and Techniques to better identify High Performers. Locus of Control, a 50-year old psychology will be introduced to improve interviewing effectiveness. This behavioral psychology can provide interviewers with insight to the achievement attitudes and behaviors that are present in ALL Top Performers. By using simple interviewing techniques, Locus of Control can add information that will improve the accuracy of distinguishing the High Performers from the Impostors.

TRUTH IN INTERVIEW - Part II
From PART I: Somewhere, we learned that if we hire an applicant with the skills we need, the results will be an employee who will do a great job. WRONG! Skills simply means the applicant can do the job, it does not mean they will do the job better than anyone else. Making hiring decisions based on skills leaves job performance a mystery until after the hire. Interview-savvy applicants have made it tougher for interviewers to accurately assess motivation, often causing the misjudgment to favor applicants who are NOT High Performers.

How Do You Know If YOU Are A High Performer?
In order to answer this question and know if we are a high performer, we must first define the term 'High Performer'. The simple definition is a person who achieves the best results. It's not just someone who works hard. More specifically it is someone who is able to produce desired results and achieve more of their goals. When we compare high achievers to those who fall short, a discernible difference exists. But this comparison suggests that everyone falls into either one group or the other - achiever or non-achiever. It's not quite that black and white.
How Do You Know If YOU Respond Effectively To Adversity?
You've heard the saying, "Change your thinking - change your results". It's true, but do you know what thinking needs to change and from what to what? It's not just about heaving positive thoughts on top of a dismal situation. Nor is it about denial. A bad decision followed by hopeful thinking doesn't change the bad decision into a good one. Understanding how the High Performer is able to achieve a desired outcome is the first step we must take to improve our own productivity.
How Do YOU Create The Outcome You Want?
WARNING: There is information ahead that involves looking at yourself as the cause of your own short-fallen results. Do NOT read any further if you're not opening to the idea we always play a role in creating our own experiences and outcomes!! Instead...Keep doing what you have always done and wish for improved results then let me know how that works out for you.

Incorrectly Assessing A Job Applicant's Motivation
In today's highly competitive and turbulent business environment, hiring average employees can spell "failure". Companies can not afford mediocrity while their competitors are striving to be the best. Hiring impacts profits in more ways than most companies realize. A Harvard Business School study determined that more than 75% of turnover could be traced back to poor hiring practices. The decision to hire -or not to hire- plays a significant role in turnover. The leading contributor to turnover is often not what happens after the employee is hired, but rather the process leading up to it. And turnover is not always bad if it's a bad hire that's leaving. You have to wonder if you really are hiring the best we can.
The View From The Top
When you take your trip to the top of the world, remember to take time to enjoy the process of getting there or in other words...enjoy the journey. Focus on the things you are grateful for all around you and on what is good in your life. You will find your arrival will be more satisfying once you get there if you have enjoyed the effort you put into it.

The Search for Normality
Recently, I heard about a group of advertising agencies that constantly seek what they call a "normal" city or town. Apparently, what they are looking for is the demographically perfect example of the United States. They spend a great deal of time searching for this elusive pocket of normality. Even when they find a city or town that they deem to be normal, within a year or two they have to move on, because the existing site is-for whatever reason-no longer "normal."

Succeed Faster With Clear Personal Development Objectives
Many people aim to attain a certain level of success and achievement in their lifetime, but not everybody takes it serious enough to actually plan for it.

Do you have someone that you look up to? Is this someone that you would like to emulate? Someone that you feel has achieved the type of success that you would one day like to achieve? What if that person wanted to take you by the hand and show you the ropes, the steps that he/she took to get where they are? Well, if they did, you'd be mentored. Mentoring is the key to big-time success. The way that shortcuts are learned about, potential mistakes are avoided, and many contacts are made.

It Coulda Been Me
In today’s society, so much is based on scales, decided by tests, and judged by comparison. It’s no wonder that society, as a whole, has issues about achievement and the quest for success. Success, like most other things is viewed as a goal that has levels, and all too many people believe that they are incapable of achieving true success. Why is this? The universal Law of Equality states that the dreams and desires of each person are just as important as the next, as is their fulfillment.
How to Create a Great Team out of Unique Individuals
Each person is unique in the course of human history, past, present and future. We are each born with a unique set of skills, abilities and talents. We have unique life experiences. Creating an effective, cohesive business team from such diversity can seem well nigh impossible. Every problem is actually an opportunity waiting to be discovered. In this case the answer lies in capitalising on the diversity and uniqueness of the various individuals comprising the team. It's time to view your team as a mosaic rather than a melting pot.

The third step is to turn your wants and desires into specific and measurable goals as a way of gaining clarity and focus. Making your goals SMART is a key step to having your goals become reality.

3 Keys to Personal and Business Success
Although it is widely accepted that universal laws guide our steps and that great achievement most often comes as the result of conscious or unconscious respect for those laws, the challenge that most aspiring entrepreneurs face is determining which laws are the correct ones to follow. Everybody has a winning method. Everybody knows the "right" path to success and achievement. And everybody wants to assert their exclusive ownership of the one and true path to personal and business success. However, in reality, different methods work in different ways for different people. Ultimately, it still falls upon the individual to research and reveal the method that will work the best for them. With that in mind, this article highlights three keys to personal and business success as demonstrated in a true story of individual achievement.

To say the least, we take for granted this phenomenal achievement and seldom take a moment to step back and marvel of the technological achievement of providing speedy, safe, well made and well maintained highways so you can drive swiftly from one major city to another at high rates of speed and even reach grandma’s house in her small rural town on some form of modern paved road. Why if you were somehow able to gather up all those miles of road and put them into one building to get a feel for how much construction it would take, the odds are you would not be able to see the top of that skyscraper and if you stood on the top of it, you would die from lack of oxygen.

The Napoleon Hill Legacy
If I were asked to name one single contributor to my success in life, I would have to say it was reading Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. I have read that book five times and I learn something new every time. Think and Grow Rich is a book about success, not only financial success, but life achievement success. A long time associate of Thomas Edison, Hill wrote \"This is not a novel. It is a textbook on individual achievement that came directly from the experiences of hundreds of America\'s most successful men. It should be studied, digested and meditated upon.\" Today, we are working with The Napoleon Hill Foundation to bring Dr. Hills multimedia productions to the general public.
