The Seven Inherent Growth Steps for Every Leader
As part of my ongoing commitment to personal development, I attended a seminar over the weekend where the speaker talked about the seven inherent growth steps every leader must take. I have made a firm commitment to follow these steps as I develop as a leader within the network and online marketing industry. I’d like to share these seven growth steps of leadership with you, and ask if you are already incorporating these steps as a leader.

Leadership means having a responsibility that you choose to own for yourself. It’s not responsibility someone else gave to you it’s a responsibility you chose to give yourself. Once you choose to be responsible you in turn become a leader. Leadership is about being able to create more leadership

Things to Consider when Setting Personal Development Goals
Personal development is a broad topic that many people are interested in but they don’t know where to start. There may be many aspects of your personality and lifestyle that you want to work on, but achieving so many things can seem overwhelming in the beginning. The key to keeping personal development goals from becoming too overwhelming is to have reasonable expectations and to set yourself up to succeed.

Personal Development and Self Image
People who are interested in developing themselves and creating goals know that how they feel about themselves is a big indicator of how positive they will be about achieving their personal development goals. Keeping a positive attitude and believing that you can achieve your goals is an important part of actually following through and reaching a goal. Without a positive self image, it can be hard to believe that you can really make the improvements you need and to see the results that you want.

4 Steps Towards Your Life goals
We all have gut feelings about different things. Many of the world’s most important decisions have been made with intuition. The eureka moment we get every now and again is a heightened version of this. Why is it that some of our finest moments happen when we are not even thinking about it? There is no clear reason for this but it seems to be down to a relaxed state of mind. When the mind is not under pressure it has time to dedicating it’s time to creative and productive thought. Relaxed focus is one of the most powerful tools in the personal development locker. Try not to over analyse a situation too much and you will benefit from greater clarity of thought in your decision making.

Achieve Your Dreams And Never Ever Give Up
If you are trying to do something better in your life, having a better lifestyle or for example travel, in other words you have big dreams (and you should have big dreams) probably you met with the opinions and advices of you friends, family members and other people. And I bet that they told you that you are crazy, that you are only a dreamer and that you should come back to the earth or something like that.

How the Gift of Giving Can Bring You Closer to Success
The gift of giving is perhaps one of the most important things you can do to get you closer to achieving success. It’s definitely important to focus your efforts on getting to your goal, but the one problem with goal setting is that you tend to have a “Me” focused attitude. You should focus on the gift of giving, and find a way where you can add value to someone else. Zig Ziglar said it best: “You can have everything you want in life if you will just help enough other people get what they want.”

Personal Development and Mental Attitude
While it may seem that a person’s attitude and their personal development goals and achievements are very different things, for most people they are actually strongly influenced by one another. Without the right mental attitude, achieving anything is an uphill battle that is more difficult than it has to be. Changing a mental attitude for the better is something that can affect all aspects of a person’s life. It can allow one to feel in control of life and give a person the self esteem to make the changes desired.

Setting Personal Development Goals – Achieve Success and Fulfillment

Setting personal development goals is the first step in focusing your energy and preparing to achieve your dreams.

Talent Development and The Wheel of Becoming
In the Buddhist belief, the Wheel of Becoming is a representation of life, death, and rebirth. The energy produced by one’s past actions (karma) are paid forward into future outcomes. Practitioners can determine their place within the concentric circles of the wheel, which delineate the various realms of being (see the graphic above). In talent management terms, think of the Wheel of Becoming as transitioning from one level of personal development to rebirth at a higher level. There are many models of human development (see Jane Lovinger’s “Stages of Ego Development”, or Robert Kegans “The Evolving Self” to name but two). One that fits neatly with the concept of Wheel of Becoming, however, is “The Leadership Pipeline” by Charan, Drodder, and Noel.

7 Tips for a Positive 360 Feedback Experience
Many organizations conduct 360 assessments with their employees, but how the process is handled can determine whether employees see the exercise as a gift for their personal development or a huge waste of time. The value of the 360 feedback process is that it involves employees in their own development planning. Often times our main source of on-the-job feedback comes from our direct supervisor. Because 360 degree feedback collects information from not only supervisors, but direct reports, peers and cross-functional partners, it can provide a clearer picture of the opportunities employees have to improve professionally.

Personal Gravity includes those beliefs and behaviors that limit us in our personal lives. Personal Gravity runs rampant in all our lives, it's part of being human.

Career Growing Pains: Some Grow UP and Some Grow Old
Transitioning from where you are to where you need to go isn’t easy; it requires you to become connected to the cause and effect of your actions, and to own them by taking responsibility. To engage in something successfully, especially in a competition or fight, you must have the ability to take a punch and respond with a counter punch (meaningful reaction)-and remain standing. You aren’t engaged if you just take the punches, without bothering to move, change or get out the way. To think that you are engaged when you are making little effort while expecting big results, finding excuses for staying where you are, blaming someone else, or just being blind to the lesson of cause and effect-only makes you bitter instead of better.

Internet Marketing Business - Easy To Do and Easy Not To Do

Online Entrepreneur – Opportunity to embrace the new trend
The last business that I failed in was in the holiday and tourism industry. I had partnered with 2 other friends in selling timeshare packages to the market. The money seemed good, the business plan was drawn out and we got on with the game. However, the economic downturn hit and out went the sales. No one was interested in buying up vacation packages when all they had on their mind was survival. You can say ‘Wrong timing’ or ‘Ignorance of Economic Trends’ was the cause of the downfall. It did cost me a bit of money – office rent, office furniture and fixtures, brochure design and printing, etc. And that’s when I went broke the second time in my life!

Time Management Tips for Entrepreneurs – How to boost your personal productivity
One of the most common challenges that people face, especially entrepreneurs, is to effectively manage their time. In this information age, there is too much information to sift through and if you let the information control you then you will feel overwhelmed and under-achieve. So what does one have to do to improve their personal productivity? Several ideas have been proposed and here I would like to summarize all the points into 4 main points. So let’s get started.

What causes people to take action – A fundamental analysis
Imagine a 100-meter stretch of isolated road running through the Nevada desert. You and I are standing next to a car parked to the side.

Let’s see what makes you do it.

How to eliminate Poverty – Lesson from the Parable of the Talents
In the bible, Jesus talks about the parable of the talents, wherein the person who multiplied his portion of the money was given more and the one who hoarded it lost even that. The same is EXACTLY true in real life. People who adopted and applied this philosophy multiplied their resources and became rich, and the ones who did not remained poor. I am of the opinion that we everyone of planet earth could apply this philosophy then there wouldn’t be any poverty at all, which in turn will lead to more harmony, less crime and more peace. So if there was a PRACTICAL way for the masses to apply the philosophy, people would be must better off financially. This article will show you exactly what you need to do to apply this teaching.

There is no such thing as ‘Free Money Online’

Kindly note that I said ‘earn it’. The core problem with today’s generation is their idea of...

Growing Up: Time only flies when you throw your watch!
When I was 16, I wanted to be 18. At 18, I wanted to be 21. To me each age meant I was grown; what I never considered was the growth I needed between them - because maturing is a process that brings along two friends: responsibility and challenges. Every professional or personal challenge I experienced and every lesson I learned was typically about me recognizing and managing the lines in my life: learning when to cross them, when to draw them and when to read between them.

Meaning of Wisdom – It’s a 3-step process
Albert Einstein once said, “Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it”. In order to truly understand what he meant you have know the true meaning of wisdom. Over the years I have been harboring the wrong notion on wisdom. I was under the impression that knowledge is wisdom. And I am sure that there are millions of others who think the same way. Thanks to Dr. Myles Munroe, I got the true meaning of wisdom the other day. I felt so enlightened and free at this newfound knowledge. And I am sure you the reader will find it same too.

The Pursuit of Fast and Easy money – A road to disaster
Daegen had walked to the nearest grocery store at around midnight to buy himself a Gatorade. When in queue the person behind him tapped his shoulder and asked for a $1. Daegen asked him what he needed the money for. The stranger started off by telling that he did not have any money and that he had just got out of prison and did not have a job. Daegen, out of curiosity, asked him why he went to jail in the first place? The stranger said that he used to run cocaine from city to another and that he got caught. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison. As if things were not bad, around the 8th year an inmate...

Man always rises to meet up to his expectations
When I took over the management of a chain of retail stores in the auto-service industry, one of the biggest challenges that I faced was the incompetency of the staff. Two points stood out very strongly: a) Whoever I asked, had a bad opinion about the non-performers and b) The so-called non-performers were actually not producing results. “Obviously!” you might think. How can you expect non-performers to produce results? Well, that’s what I thought too, at least initially.

Taking the Mystery Out of Self-Improvement?
I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I started doing personal development work in 2001 after leaving my corporate position. I wasn't even aware how important it was to ask myself the question "Am I happy?" I have come a long way since then and want to clear up some of the mysteries around personal development and self-improvement. In this two article series I will summarize what personal development is and the perspective from which we can best undertake this work. In the second article I will examine the benefits of personal development in the work place.

Mindset Is The Key To Your Business Success
Your mindset is the most important key to achieving success in your business and if it's not in the right place then no amount of marketing is going to help you or your business. Having the correct mindset comes from deep within and it is your thoughts, your feelings, your self image, your beliefs and your emotions combined. If they are not all in alignment with each other then you will not take action and you will not find true fulfillment and success in your life and business. Let me help you...

Life Success Tip – Be wary who you listen to
I experienced an enlightening moment the other day. I received an email from a gentleman asking me to explain what can I offer him that my business system cannot. Even though it seems like a straightforward question, it is not. I thought about it for a while, before I responded to it. The answer is something very simple, but very deep if you actually go to look at it. From the outside, it would seem silly and weightless, but from the inside it has the makings of a solid foundation. So what was my answer to that question? Before I tell you that, let me relate a true-life story, which I heard from Les Brown, America’s foremost motivational speaker.

How do I get past the feeling of being stuck in life or work?
"I feel stuck." That's one of the most common things I hear from many people I talk to and work with. They feel stuck for many different reasons. They may be in a relationship that no longer is working, but don't know how to end it. They may not like the way they work or live, but aren't exactly sure how to change. Or they may just want to incorporate more fun in their lives, but aren't sure how to make that happen. And I have one single profound insight to share with them...and YOU -

Who Needs Personal Development at Work?
While trends in the past few years have advocated bringing your whole self to work, the prevailing culture in many industries still expects employees to leave their personal stuff at the door and stick to business when on the job. It seems the move toward openness has been brushed off the side of the desk in favour of leaner operations, especially with the current economy. This kind of ‘fluff’ just doesn’t impact the bottom line that much. Or does it?

Why Leaders Are Successful In Network Marketing And Others Aren't
All successful leaders have the same attributes and they stay focused on the project at hand. Most people are very fickle jumping from pillar to post and not really knowing why or what they are doing. They tend to blame every other person or thing for their failures instead of looking at themselves and searching for the real problem which usually comes from within. It's not easy having a network marketing or home business, particularly when you're used to answering to a boss. It's very easy to get sidetracked with doing menial tasks that aren't remotely related to productivity for your business because you have no-one to answer to at the end of the day, only yourself. Lets face it you can easily let yourself of the hook if you don't finish a task. Are you going to sack you? Not likely! Here are a few tips that will keep you focused...

The Unemployed You: Battling Through the Waiting Game (Part Two)
No matter how optimistic you are, the longer you are unemployed the greater chance you will run into frustrations, insecurities, disappointments and self-doubt. Since this is part of the journey, the challenge is deciding how much of it to keep on your drive. If you aren’t seeing progress, you may need to change lanes, especially when the familiar lanes aren’t taking you where you need to go. To me a career, like life, isn’t a straight path. It will include detours, exits and hard choices, and sometimes you have to back up to move forward. Suddenly losing your job is a change that can make you feel incomplete, but so does working in a job that isn’t fulfilling. So what do you do in either case? Wait for something to change or change you?

If you go through life being Casual, you will become a Casualty
Man, for some reason, even though he knows the consequences for certain actions, ends up doing it nevertheless. Man’s indifference towards himself has been one of the biggest banes to the society he lives in. Let me give you an example. Yesterday, I had my broadband connection disabled by the telecom company because of non-payment of dues. The line that I am using is registered under my friend’s name, and as per our deal my friend is supposed to pay the monthly dues. But he failed to do so, 3 months in a row, resulting in me suffering from the loss of connectivity. The problem is...

Man always achieves the goal that he sets for himself. Always.
I have always been a person who keeps hopping around from one hobby to another. For some time I was crazy about learning how to play the guitar. And I learnt it. Then I was crazy about setting up aquariums. And I ended up with 2 of them in my house. For some time it was angling, and I spent lots of money and time indulging in it. Then I fell for flight simulators. And I learnt it inside out in much detail. Photography came up next. And I went into great detail in that too. Fitness and muscle was another of my hobbies. And I spent some time on that too. These are just to name a few. This attitude towards life made people give me the ‘What’s new?’ today kind of look. I was branded as the guy who never sticks to one thing and keeps jumping around. And it was not a good thing.

What does Personal Development have to do with Leadership?
I am reading a book by one of my former teachers Gail Gibson, founding faculty member of the Certified Executive Coaching Program and Masters in Leadership Program at Royal Roads University, entitled "Who You Are is How You Lead" In the book Gibson presents a model which identifies awareness, choice and personal responsibility as attributes of Conscious Leadership, and these attributes are supported by trust and courage. The results are support for people's growth and the development of effective organizations occurring simultaneously.

How to change a habit
If you were a driver, then you would relate easily to this regular occurrence that all drivers have come to experience at some point in time. Many times I have noticed to my amazement that whenever I am on the phone (hands-free, of course), while driving a frequented route, I end up reaching my destination without even realizing it. All I remember is that I got on the phone and now I am parked at the destination. It’s miraculous how your brain takes complete control of where you are going without any conscious effort from your side, provided it’s a frequented or regular route. I want you to re-read the last part of the sentence ‘provided it’s a frequented or regular route’. You know why this happens? If you can truly understand the ‘why’, you will end up having the answer to most of life’s mysteries.

Leadership: Is there an app for that?
When I accepted my first management position, my new boss told me his secret to managing people was to treat them like whiny children. I asked him if managing people was his thing, and he bluntly said, "No, because I hate dealing with people and their petty issues." Despite his revelation, we had a good relationship because I didn't ask him for leadership advice and he didn't have any to give.

Logic doesn’t change Emotion, Action does!
One of the greatest challenges that entrepreneurs face is to get back in the groove, after a long break. I call it the ‘derailed’ disease. It’s similar to an employee feeling the Monday blues. I am a frequent victim of this disease. Earlier in my life this was the reason for me to quit many projects halfway through. I just didn’t know how to get back on track. I used to justify that this is God’s will and I can’t change it. The problem was that I was using Logic to fight it, which I found out to be the wrong thing to lead with.

Success principle: Treat everybody respectfully
One of the key principle of leadership and success is not just to be content with being capable for helping yourself, but by being capable to get others to help you as well. Many people lack in the latter part. As it’s said, the best way to get to the top is not to climb up the ladder; but to let others push you to the top. Now how does one do that?

How to write journal entries – The 3 must-ask questions
I am a big fan of Jim Rohn and Tony Robbins. One of the things that they both share in common is the habit of maintaining a journal. And what is the purpose of writing a journal? To jot down the lessons that life has taught you and how you contributed to your day. That’s why. As it’s said, ‘If life is worth living, then it’s worth recording’. But one of the more common challenges that people face is about what to write in the journal. I have been a victim of this disease, until recently. I learnt this very valuable lesson from Tony Robbins, which I am about to share with you.

A Battle for the Mind
Almost every person is born with virtually unlimited potential in terms of their ability to develop. Not everyone can be (or wants to be) an elite athlete or a Nobel Prize winner, but almost anyone can mature to be the person that he or she wants to be. The problem is that, in many cases, this maturing is negatively impacted by our self-talk. And much self talk arises out of feedback we experience. Third Generation Leadership operates in a different mind space.

Trust – The glue that holds a team together
Mistakes can be forgiven and forgotten, but what about betrayal? I think it can be forgiven but not forgotten. Why do you think that is? It is because of the key difference between the two. The former is not done intentionally (otherwise it would be called sabotage) and the latter is. It’s because of this it cannot be forgotten. And worst thing of all, you don’t get a second chance. Ask Judas if you doubt that.

My Brain is Full- The Importance of Personal Development
Ongoing personal development for Executives, Entrepreneurs, all levels of Management, and Professional Sellers is critical. Here are just a few reasons.

Leaders can’t afford to make mistakes
I, and my colleague decided to visit certain retail outlets today. We decided to take our own cars and drive in a convoy fashion. I told him to take the lead, and I would follow. All was well, till...

Why Most Marketers Will Never Become A Top Producer In Their Primary Business!

Quash Your “Employee” Mindset To Propel Business Growth
Is your employee mind restricting your business’ growth? Learn how to overthrow your employee mentality, step into your CEO shoes and enjoy a surge in your development! Many small (and large) business owners find themselves in a difficult position when transitioning from seeing themselves as the craftsman or solopreneur to a owner of a business capable of generating more than six figures, and that is that you just can't seem to crush that "employee" mindset when approaching your business.

Staying Motivated In Your Home Business
Are you having issues with staying motivated in your home business? Well, do not fret because it happens to everyone. Motivation is something that everyone needs whether you are just starting in your online home business or are already a seasoned entrepreneur, you need a certain internal drive to get you going consistently.

Never compete with anybody else; but yourself
I have some major disagreements with our current school system, especially because of the culture of competing against one another. We are pitched against our classmates to evaluate who is better than the other. And since only 1 can be the winner, we develop 99 losers. So then, why are we surprised when 1% of the population earns more money the 99%? So then, why are we surprised that 99% of the world is poor? Isn’t it hypocrisy? Whereas, you ask anybody who has made a difference in our society as to what they owe their success to. Invariably it comes to the fact that these people competed with themselves, and not others. They wanted to be better than their previous best. They wanted to beat their previous performance. And that is the key to success.

3 Ways To Create A Successful Online Home Business Less Than $100
One advantage the internet offers is the ability to quickly start a business online. This is true because you do not need to invest a lot of money to get started. Here are 3 online home business ideas you can start less than $100.

Knowing Your 'Why'
I am a great believer in the maxim that everything happens for a greater reason, nothing is ever by chance. For 15 years I was a professional therapist and I ran my own private practice very successfully. I suppose you could argue too successfully, because this was the main reason behind me moving into internet marketing.

Career Messaging: Are you missing them?
Sometimes lessons knock softly and sometimes they break down the door. But in either case, you should ask yourself, what are your results honestly telling you?

Powerful Coaching Distinction: Working In Vs. Working On Your Life
Having been a professional coach for over 16 years, and having been in over a dozen coaching relationships as a client during that time, I’ve had the opportunity to examine what makes coaching so powerful and effective. It’s my personal view that one of the most beneficial tools that can enhance a client’s life is coaching distinctions. You can think of a coaching distinction like a lens through which you look at life, and in the process life shows up differently. For example, when my mechanic, Dale, looks under the hood of my car he sees a whole different world than I do. I see mostly dirt and oil and maybe the oil dip stick and radiator cap. But because Dale has many more ‘engine distinctions’ he’s the one I’m going to call on if my car won’t start in the morning. In short, the more distinctions we have AND USE, the more powerful...

Is "leadership" dead?
"Leadership" now seems to be a catch-all term (a bit like "communication"). That being the case, has the time now come when we should be considering whether the term "leadership" has lost its impact and whether we need to radically rethink the whole concept by moving out of all the traditional concepts like "servant leadership", "situational leadership", “contingency leadership”, “leadership habits” etc that are based on attitudes and behaviours?

Beliefs And How They Limit Your Potential
Our beliefs are formed from our experience of the world around us and often develop early on in life. Limiting beliefs are what stops us from moving forward and making progress by clouding our view of the world. Whatever you believe, will cause you to behave in a way that reinforces that belief. Take this opportunity to work through one of your own limiting beliefs, you might want to take a piece of paper or notebook and find a place where you can think quietly for a few moments.

Online Internet Home Based Business - Ways to become a leader
In order for you to become a leader in your online internet home based business, you need to have YOUR business in order before you can lead others to achieve the results that you desire. There are five steps to becoming a leader in your online internet home based business that we will discuss here today.

Motivation for working: Recognition, Fulfillment or Money?
What are key reasons for working? Asking people this question (and I have asked thousands of candidates in my HR Consulting career) will trigger many different kinds of answers, from financial benefits or sheer survival, fulfillment, recognition, status, power, challenges, social interaction, fun, interest, curiosity and personal development, to meaningful contribution, helping others, service and “making the world a better place”. It is obvious that we all do have reasons to invest our time, ideas, thoughts (and sometimes physical power) in order to achieve something, to obtain a certain feeling or to gain other benefits.

Looking for an Easy Online Business Opportunity?
Well, if you are looking for an easy online business opportunity then I might as well tell you now, your chances of success are pretty slim. Sure, there are plenty of businesses out there that will tell you how easy it is to make tons of money with them. Then they will take your money, tell you to go out and promote the program and you will never hear from them again. When you get frustrated you will quit and move on to the next easy online business opportunity! Somewhere along the line you will realize that ”just go out and promote the program” is not as simple and straightforward as you have been led to believe. Sound familiar?

The New Year Plan: Are you READY?
The New Year means different things to different people. For some, it inspires change for the better, for others it’s just another year, and the rest of us fall somewhere in between. For the inspired, great successes will ensue. For the pseudo-inspired, great intentions will ensue for about 30 days instead of 365. Nevertheless, they TRIED and that counts for something, right? Sometimes our resolution passion masks our tendency to procrastinate. When you couldn’t button your pants in May, hated your job in June, realized you’re missing important family time in July, smoked too much in August, drank too much in September, or recognized you were in an unfulfilling relationship in October…why are you waiting until January 1st to change?

The Entrepreneurial Sales Person
It seemed to me that successful sales people had a lot in common with successful entrepreneurs who are often the main sales people in their own businesses anyway. I thought we could use this information to help us find and cultivate Entrepreneurial Sales People for our businesses, especially to help we entrepreneurs who need to grow our businesses beyond our own capabilities and personal time constraints.

Starting Out? – Main Common Niches For Your Home Based Business
More people are now looking for ways to make money online with a home based business. For those starting out, it can be very challenging to actually decide the type of home based business to start.

Required Reading for Success
I have often heard it said by one of the great leaders in the field of personal development, my friend Charlie "Tremendous" Jones, that five years from now you will be the same person that you are today with the exception of the people you meet and the books you read. I find that by reading books, we have the ability to meet the greatest minds in recorded history. They are simply waiting to give us the secrets of a successful life that have transcended the decades and centuries.

Outgrowing Your Distractions: Knowing When To Let Them Go!
After this encounter, I realized that some people and some things you outgrow. And when you recognize it, you need to let it go- no explanation needed. That old furniture just doesn’t fit in your new house and bringing it along will just create clutter. Clutter is tricky and subjective. We are all a collection of diverse needs and what appears to be insignificant to one may be significant and motivation to another. What some see as disorder, others may see as creative chaos. Is this a distinction without a difference? Or an attempt to fill a void for what isn’t there? Personally, I prefer order because I believe that clutter (emotional or physical) can prevent you from seeing what is really in your life or maybe what is missing:

Problems and Priorities
Every day, we are all faced with two important questions that greatly impact out productivity. These two questions are What are we doing? and How well are we doing it? Most of the emphasis in human behavior and personal development deals with the second question How well are we doing it? Very seldom do the success gurus focus on the primary element which is What are we doing?

How Do You Define Success?
The modern dictionary defines success as: to gain wealth or fame. Early American leaders held a puritanical belief that success was a sign of God's favor. Ben Franklin wrote that "the pursuit of wealth was virtuous and would lead to success."

We Have an Ethical Dilemma!
Our finest business schools are beefing up their ethics programs in response to the erosion of corporate ethics that has resulted in the recent high profile debacles, right? Guess again...

Get Your Priorities Straight!
Lately, I have been amazed at the answers I get when I query executives about their priorities. Many utter a reference to "objectives" that sounds good, but soon they discover that their answers do not clarify what their priorities are that day. They often are not clear on what actions they need to focus on today that will lead to success tomorrow.

Finding True North With the Help of a Child
"Dad, I want you to have this" my young son said as he held up a toy compass to place in my hands. "You can keep it on your desk so that you'll always know where you are and what direction to head in." It was one of those priceless parenting moments.

Crisis Reveals Human Potential
It's impossible to describe the terror I felt as the car began to slide sideways. Even going only 2-3 miles per hour I was helpless to stop the car.

I Need You For a Mission!
What is your Mission in life? Yes, it's a heavy question but one worth asking yourself. Have you spent time thinking about what gifts you possess and how to utilize those gifts to the best of your ability?

Decisions, Decisions
Do you ever wonder why decisions you make foster reactions that you never dreamed of? In a Hay Group research brief entitled "Executive Blind Spots," the results of a large survey concluded that the higher executives rose within an organization; • The more they over-rated themselves compared to how they were rated by others, and; • The wider the gap between how they saw themselves and how their peers, subordinates, and managers viewed them. Individual contributors and lower level managers, in contrast, showed no significant gaps between how they and others rated them.

The Coaching Fallacy What it is and what it isnt
There is much confusion about what Coaching is- and isn’t. Many consulting firms have simply gone through their marketing materials and changed the word “consulting” to “coaching.” For many in the business world, that sums up what they perceive Coaching to be, a new word for consulting. Nothing could be farther from the truth!

Just when I was starting to think that I was learning from all my previous lessons, yet another new “enhancement” comes along!!!

The Angst of Transition: From Your Parent's Home to Your Own
When I converse with young college alums, we often discuss the life between their parent’s home and their own. Whether the transition is from their parent’s home or from college to the workplace, our talks about handling the angst in transitioning are engaging. Most of them were told to go to college, major in something they like, and then get the job they would love. Some of them said they fell for it hook, line, and sinker without being prepared for the seeds of discontent. Others said life is what you make it so adjust through the unexpected and learn from it: •One young grad told me that her physician father refused to pay for her education unless she majored in pre-med.

We all have desires, dreams, fears and emotional needs that drive us in our quest to create more of the life we want, trying to attain our own vision of success and that ellusive, tantalising taste of permanent happiness and personal fulfillment.

Unleashing Your Motivation
Motivation is a dynamic state that results in the desire, directional intensity and persistence of behaviour to achieve a long or short- term goal. Without motivation our sales performance and consequently our results can be severely impaired. When we are feeling motivated, we light up our performance like a Christmas Tree and equally when we feel de-motivated, everything seems to be much harder work.

How often do You Think ‘Outside the Box’?
‘Thinking outside the box’ is a bit of a buzz phrase at the moment in the business world. That said, it really is an extremely effective process. Each process (and there are usually many) in a revenue-generating, production, operational, financial or personnel activity can be improved anywhere from 3% or 4% all the way up to 100% and more.

Self-Esteem after a Layoff
The day of the layoff went by pretty damn fast. I no sooner sat down at my desk when my supervisor said I needed to see the production manager.

WEIGHT LOSS AND BUSINESS – THE SUCCESS CONNECTION
Do you ever just stop, in the midst of your busy day, and ask yourself the question: why am I do this anyway?! Do you constantly think about the ‘why' of your business - is it uppermost in your mind. Or, in the midst of chaos (mentally and otherwise), have you lost track of why you do what you do?

Skyrocket Your Success - Work Harder On Yourself Than Anything Else
This week I received an article by a very successful entrepreneur Alexandria Brown. Here's what she says: Over the past several years I've immersed myself in learning. Because my business is marketing, I have mostly attended and spoken at marketing seminars. But I also make plenty of time to read books, attend seminars, and listen to audio programs on personal development as well. Why? You should actually work harder on yourself than you do on your business (or job). I first learned that from Jim Rohn, whom some call the father of personal development. Some call him America's foremost business philosopher. I just call him brilliant. (Jim was one of Tony Robbins' first mentors, too.)

Here is a recipe for success
We all want the magic formula or recipe for instant success. Unless your definition of success is to have millions of dollars and you win the lottery, success is never instant but the result of deliberate action toward a pre-determined objective. Every chef has his own recipe; this is mine but keep in mind that success is in the journey, not the destination. Recipe for success: Motivation + Belief + Effort = Success

The Magic of Thinking Big... Or Even Bigger Still
When I run seminars I ask people to set goals for the coming year. Few set what I would call big goals. Let’s say I am working with a sales team and I ask what they would all like to sell this year. Few tell me a figure that is significantly at odds with the target given to them by their managers. So if their manager has targeted them at 250k of sales they will tell me their goal is 250k of sales or at the outside 300k. Why not $1 million?

YOU MUST KEEP LEARNING!
Did you think that, when you left school, that is when the learning stops, too? I find it very sad that many entrepreneurs have stopped investing in themselves and in their learning.

Habits: Good or Bad, they drive current performance

If one does not question both what and how we do things, we will continue to do them the same way.Here are the steps to changing a habit or creating a new one. These same steps are related to learning a new task as well, and can be applied to developing a new way of thinking or attitude as well as to a physical action or behaviour. All new learning or change must go through this process.

Enjoy Personal Victories Before Seeking Them in Business
There is s plethora of good information out there. Don’t be afraid to read some of it. Personally, I enjoy reading the scriptures and learning principles upon which to base my conduct and decisions. It has helped me immensely, especially when things don’t seem to go my way. For me; for all of us, personal victories must precede those in the public.

If You’re Afraid of Hard Work Don’t Start a Business! Here’s why…..
The key is not to let the advertising world force us into their mold; one in which reality and logic do not exist. Everything takes effort and the greatest achievements take a whole lot of effort! I am glad that we have the screening process in place that we have. Unless an enrollee possesses the right frame of mind: the mind of an entrepreneur, he/she is not invited to enter.

Make The Move From Bad to Good
Deep in our brains exists our basal ganglia, which takes an imprint of a repeated behavior. Let’s say you are in the habit of eating a candy bar every day at 3:00pm. You excuse this unhealthy habit by justifying the “energy boost” you receive from it. Your brain is habit prone and soon craves that daily 3:00pm sugar high.

Discover Your Level of Narcissism
The ego wounded self in all of us exhibits some degree of narcissism. Discovering where you fall on this continuum can lead to deeper learning and healing.

How Disasters Can Teach Lessons of Gratitude
In the world today, we encounter a lot of negativity, pain, stress and natural disasters. Many days, we wake up with far too much to do, far too much to think about, far too many concerns, and far too many problems. In Virginia where I live, in the span of less than one week, we experienced a "terrible triad:" an earthquake, a tornado and Hurricane Irene; three major natural disasters capable of causing devastation, tragedies, and causalities. So many of us went through life's inconveniences facing another triad of problems: no lights, no air-conditioning, no television. Having witnessed three natural disasters in one week has made me readily come to believe that it is a good idea to start each day with inspiration and gratitude to help us make it through the day with positive thoughts. This helps to remain focused on your goals.

Speed Limits Do Not Reflect Your Capacity
When looking at cars, we all know that speed limits do not really reflect the capacity of how fast our cars can go.

The same is true in our lives and the same is true about us. Most of us have a capacity far beyond the speed limit that we have imposed on ourselves. Far beyond the speed limit we have put on our business and career. What happens when we look at our capacity? Start to understand what we can really do.
