The Magic of Thinking Big: Developing the Power of Belief
| |
| I recently re-read a book that I read many years ago. It was a great reminder of the power of the mind. It’s like I tell the people that I coach, “If you think you are a winner you’re probably right. If you think you are a loser, you’re probably right.”
The Magic of Thinking Big is a great book that will help you recognize that you’re thoughts and belief in yourself are the aspects that are propelling you forward or holding you back. Knowing this is probably nothing new to you however the tough part is to learn how to develop the power of belief.
Schwartz suggests three ways to develop belief:

4 Ways of Defining Belief
| |
| By definition, belief refers to a psychological state in which a person holds to a premise, or an idea, that he or she discerns to be true. Belief is similar to knowledge, but differentiated by a level of stronger confidence and perhaps even of faith. One of Plato’s early works defined knowledge as a person’s “justified true belief”, and this understanding has continued through the ages. Simply put, you could say that belief is knowledge that has been proven true according to reason, plausibility, and evidence. Of course, one could argue that belief and knowledge are relative to the perception of one individual. This is a moot point though, because whatever a person wants to believe will be their reality - regardless if it is true or not. |

4 Steps to a Successful New Life
| |
| It’s time to turn the page and accept this as Chapter Two in your life! If you want to make a change and start living a higher quality of life, then you must take decisive action. Success is whatever you make it. Never believe that you are destined for failure while others are just “lucky” in all their endeavors. Everyone has control over his or her destiny. Some people are unwilling to go the distance to achieve their dreams.
What is success? Is success the same thing as money, fame, or power? Is it influence over other people? Is it being the best parent possible? Or is success really what you leave behind in this world when your legacy ends? |
|
|
Are Limiting Beliefs Impacting Your Success?
| |
| Limiting beliefs refers to a belief system that is self-inhibiting. This system discourages exploration of what we understand as a “wider cognitive space”. The beliefs created and perpetuated in this type of system are strongly held, often due to heavy emotional attachment. (For example, a parent’s faith passed onto a new generation.) Interestingly, self-limiting beliefs have been observed in both human beings and animals. Of what importance, though, is the idea of “limited beliefs” to you? |

Trust, Belief and Faith

Did You Realize That You Have to Help Yourself Before You Can Help Others?

Action Focused Goal Setting is The Way to Go!
| |
| I'm finally back from my family vacation to Colorado and have somewhat recovered from all our activity. While making the 19 and 1/2 hour drive home I had quite a bit of time to think about this experiment and the posts I've written over the past week. I tried to look at the success forumula I've laid out and identify any elements that might prohibit someone from following it, and acheiving the success they want.
The forumula is as follows ...
Goals + Positive Attitude + a Plan + Belief + Action + Accountability = SUCCESS
The following was my thought process as I worked through the formula on my drive home ... |

INVERSE WISDOM
| |
| Some seemingly paradoxical principles of change and success |
|
|
Managing Resistance
| |
| How do I overcome objections?
How do I handle “NO”?
How do I deal with difficult people?
At the beginning of our leadership development workshops, when we ask the participants what they would like to accomplish, these are by far the most popular responses. Many people seem programmed to think if they can overcome, handle or minimize negative points of view, then others will drop their resistance and the goals will be achieved. In other words the belief seems to be “If I prove my point, you will you drop yours.”
Dean Rusk, the Secretary of State under President Kennedy exposed the futility of that logic when he said, “To me, the silliest argument in the world is, ‘If you knew what I know, you would agree with me.’”

Lesson #1: Be Willing To Roll the Dice
| |
| “In retrospect it was ridiculous to try to put this system together,” says Smith, “which required so much up front money, and required changing a lot of government regulations, but I didn't know that at the time…I didn't know that I couldn't do this.” |

Lesson #1: The Experts Are Not Always Right
| |
| All his life, Gillette believed that coming up with the idea – the product – would be hardest part of starting any business. After all, it took him no less than 40 years to think of a product that he thought could be profitable. He had never figured on the fact that others might not be so willing to embrace the idea as he was. But as Gillette quickly discovered, learning to listen to his own ideas was important if he was going to become successful. |

Why Smart Companies Do Dumb Things
| |
| Not a day goes by when I don’t ask myself, “Why do smart companies do such dumb things?” We all know companies that cook the books and throw outrageous parties at one end of the spectrum to sell lousy products at the other. A sweeping answer is that companies are run by smart people, and smart people do dumb things as we’ve learned. |

To Dream the Impossible Dream
| |
| "To dream the impossible dream, to right the unrightable wrong that is my quest"
What happens when your dream is somebody else's nightmare?
Having made my debut into the Costa Blanca Social Scene, (quite successfully - I felt), well I did end up at home, in one piece, (maybe a bit wobbly), I was enthused to participate more. So, during these two weeks I have made a concentrated effort: 1 party, 2 Business Meetings, 5 bars (not all with vino), 1 tarot reading (I need all the help I can get) and a meal out with a friend (not male).

How to Be with Insecurity?
| |
| As an inner confidence coach, I often hear clients voice their frustration about feelings of insecurity. The inner critic is angry that they’re even feeling insecure - that they can’t get rid of that old feeling following them in places where they don’t want it to go.
I understand. I, too, know about insecurity. And what I’ve learned through my years of working with this issue - within myself and with many, many people in the education, counseling and now coaching fields - is that it is natural and human to feel insecure. Everyone does - at times and usually in certain areas. |

Great Story Tellers
| |
| I have noticed that good sales people are often great storytellers. They have the ability to find the right story to resonate with your situation.
They speak from experience and you know they know their stuff. They can paint a picture that is your picture and get you visualizing success in partnership with them.
They seem to be able to connect disparate situations, events or feelings and find the common thread that binds them all together – together for you to connect with. And even if the story they are telling is not directly relevant to your business or market, the situation or person they describe feels familiar. |

DON’T WORRY – BE HAPPY. Entrepreneurs must ENJOY
| |
| Did you know that somewhere in the back of your mind - beneath a pile of thoughts - there is a “Happiness Contract” with a lot of small print, i.e. rules, conditions, laws, and beliefs that dictate what it will take before you'll feel happy?
On closer inspection, you will also find other contracts buried in your mind like “The Success Contract” and “The Abundance Contract” and the “Love Contract.” These contracts are statements of belief which influence how much joy you think is possible and how much is just too good to be true.

Struggle If You Must During Career Transition, But Why Should You?
| |
| To advance forward is to advance to new perspectives by developing new competencies in both soft and hard skills. What is meant by soft and hard skills? I see the hard skills as those that are produced. They are measurable, quantifiable and can be observed outside of self. They have empirical evidence. For example, when a client of mine has a goal to make a career transition into another field of interest and she/he has succeeded, it is obvious to everyone who is familiar with him/her. It is measurable in that the client did break away from one profession and moved into another, which could be seen by others. |

The Law of being left behind
| |
| The Law of being left behind, suggests that if someone else buys a products or service, it must be valuable enough to buy for ourselves. This belief transforms into a subconscious need to acquire the product or service, simply because someone else has it. And when you get a group of likeminded people together in a buying environment, all it ever takes is one person to buy to set 'The Law of being left behind' in motion. The converse is also true, if not one person puts their hand up to buy - no one else in the group will buy. Why? There is no leader, the pack isn't moving in any particular direction, therefore there is no need to move - the safest move is no move at all. |

The Beauty of Search Engine Optimization Phobias

| It is a common belief among many web business owners that once they submit their website to a search engines they're on their way to financial success. Yes submitting your site is important.

Today web pages need to be optimized in order for search engines to take them seriously. |

The Key to Extraordinary Leadership
| |
| What makes an extraordinary leader? What qualities do powerful leaders have that inspire others and help them achieve a new level of excellence? Anthony Robbins: "Leaders are those individuals who live by empowering beliefs and teach others to tap into their full capabilities by shifting the beliefs that have been limiting them." The most significant obstacle to tapping into your own authentic leadership abilites is what you believe about yourself and everyone around you culminating in an on-going story about how things are and how you are.Extraordinary levels of leadership are only made possible by understanding the true power of belief. |

| Making a career change takes courage. Most people hesitate to do it because of deep seated beliefs that they have. Some beliefs are empowering but the ones that hold you back are disempowering. The only way to move forward is to identify the belief and either overcome or change it. Here is a list of 10 common beliefs about career change that can derail your desire for change. |
|
|
It’s my judgment, so it must be right!
| |
| One of the most fascinating lies we tell ourselves is if we believe something to be true, right or so, it must be. The fact is, much of what we try to convince ourselves and others as true is often a matter of judgment based on ego.
If something is happening that we simply don’t approve of, then obviously it is wrong. Or so the thinking for many people goes.
Learn a simple technique for minimizing judgment.

Why should anyone follow you
| |
| What is the value of YOUR leadership? Leadership is the most precious commodity known to man! In fact society is so starved for leadership and someone/thing to follow right now, you could light yourself on fire and run down the street and people would follow you in droves! |

Getting What You're Worth
| |
| To get what you feel you deserve, it is important to muster up courage to be emotionally truthful to a potential client. By speaking frankly about how you feel, your potential client may respect you even more. And more importantly, he or she will pay your fee. |
|
|
Practice Gratitude and Create Well-Being
| |
| Gratitude isn’t a new idea; most spiritual practices and philosophies emphasize gratitude and compassion for others. But in recent years gratitude has shifted from being an idea to a concrete tool that people can use to become happier and healthier. This practice focuses on appreciating what others have done for you and de-emphasizes being angry or blaming others for your problems. |

How To Find The Fortune That Lies Hidden In Your Head
| |
| How do you begin to change your life for the better?
Do you want a greater life, a better job, healthier lifestyle and a more loving relationship?
Why is that many people today seem lost, confused and unsure of their life purpose. Could it be that the spark has faded from feeling overworked, under paid and stress is accumulating?
What ever happened to your bright ideas?
There is more to you than meets the eye, so how do you find this inner fortune that lies hidden when all you feel is confusion. Have you ever seen dust collect on furniture that over time begins to hide the real texture of the fabric? The piece of furniture hasn't changed, just the outer appearance has altered, so too your limiting thoughts can cover your truth and change your outlook on life. If your inner soul stays true then how can you discover the saboteur? |

Are You a Rookie or a Pro?
| |
| In a recent study at Cornell University, it was found that people who are arrogant about what they know are incompetent. In other words incompetent people don’t know that they are incompetent. That also matches a study that found that average and mediocre sales people consider themselves outstanding or peak performers. How come on average, the top 25% of a sales force generates nearly 60% of a company’s actual sales increases?

Stress-Free Selling® - Easy Ways to Avoid Price Objections

| Believe. Ah, the power of conviction. If we believe our prices are too high, we create price resistance. If we believe our prices are justified, appropriate, a good value, worth what we're asking, you will watch price objections disappear.
Of course this will not make all price objections disappear. What it will do is make many disappear. . . just because you believe.
Your lack of belief is like a giraffe to a lion. It devours you. You don't have a chance.

This may be indicative that some "alignment" is missing. Here is a brief overview of some of the key elements of personal alignment, even if the full relationship between them is too complex to represent here.

Productivity Lessons from an Accidental Entrepreneur

| Susan is in business for herself, but did not set out to be an entrepreneur. She stumbled into entrepreneurship (or self-employment) upon returning to work after a major health challenge, and finding herself essentially out of a job. An important mind shift changed Susan's approach to work, from keeping time to focusing on results. Her willingness to examine her beliefs about work, which were formed in the 9-5 working world, gave her the opportunity to create her own rules for working.

Words That Evoke Resistance

| It has come to my attention, more than once, that most people state their intentions with somewhat of an "I hope this happens" kind of feeling behind their words. When I am asking a client what their intention is (or said another way, "What is the desired outcome?"), I'm really wanting to know what they are committed to having happen. I do not want them to wonder if it will or won't happen, I want them to expect it to happen. |

For many of us, we're just too busy in the whirlwind of working, buying, raising a family, traveling, running errands and other busy tasks that adults do. We often see playing as something that only children do. However, if you study the most successful people on the planet, you see that they include a healthy dose of play into their lives.

Taking responsibility
| |
| Being responsible for your life does not just mean being accountable for your actions to another. In personal growth and self-help terms it means being aware of what you feel, think, say and do, responding to that awareness and owning it as yours, rather than blaming another or projecting it on to the world. When you take responsibility you give yourself true power over your life and you become able to respond to your inner “candle flame” of truth and authenticity. |

Passing Up Good for Great
| |
| Work/life balance requires surrender of part of one area - whether it's time spent on work or time spent on personal matters - in favor of the other. But we don't generally like giving up anything we want. We want it all, and we want it all now. Maturity requires us to recognize that perhaps we can have it all (though that too is open to question), but we certainly can't have it all at the same time. The single most useful skill for deciding how to arrange this work/life balance is the ability to pass up good for great. Learning that skill requires that we be able to recognize what's good and what's great, to identify appropriate time frames to help with the good/great evaluation, and to guard our decisions zealously.

Eight Essential Qualities of Passionate, Powerful and Proven Leaders, According To Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
| |
| The term leader is used and dare I say misused quite often in our society today. Leaders are mentioned in the context of community; family; business; church, local, state and federal government; an organization; or some other institution or group. But how many of those mentioned as leaders really possess the essential qualities of a passionate, powerful and proven leader?
In order to determine the answer to that question, Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach believes one needs to define the term leader by listing the attributes or qualities necessary to earn the title of leader. Here is a list of eight essential qualities that I believe define a passionate, powerful and proven leader. |

Important "Lessons Learned” For Leaders, According To Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
| |
| One strategic action that I encourage all my clients to take is to look at any undesired or unplanned outcome of their efforts with a keen eye and a mindset toward identifying the “lessons learned” from the experience. The strongest and most effective leaders have the ability to commit to identifying and acting upon those “lessons learned.” And I believe leaders take a totally different view of failures that are experienced in their businesses and in their personal lives. The following is a quote from Denis Watley that I believe provides a strong confirmation of my belief about failure. “Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.” |

Drivers Seat The REAL First Step to Making Your Business Irresistible
| |
| Many people seem to think that the answer to creating their successful business lies in a book, a program, a system... a guru. While each of these have great merit and can inch you forward to the next level of wealth and freedom, they are not where you actually start. |
|
|
Tune Out and Tune In
| |
| Why is it that a person is willing to listen to the author of a self-help book, yet discounts their own thoughts, feelings, and intuition? What makes one person’s insight more correct than another’s? Perhaps the answer lies in one’s belief that they really can find the solution to a question. If so, then how does one achieve this level of confidence? How about, through practice? Exercise, if you’d prefer to look at it that way. Trusting in intuition is learned. It is developed through repeated instances of success. |
|
|
Defining Belief
| |
| Psychology, as well as other practices relating to human mentality, has long held that belief is the most basic form of conscious thought. The issue of whether belief is actually a mental state remains the subject of debate. Nevertheless, in psychology, before a subject can learn any new information, the belief system must first be addressed. This allows the "proposition", or the object of the belief, to be learned.

Building a Leadership Team - Part 1
| |
| Talent is necessary for building a winning leadership team, but talent is not sufficient. You can recruit the very best in every functional area of responsibility in your organization, but unless they work well together, you will fail to create sustainable value. And in a competitive environment, you will lose to teams with far less talent if they work well together but you don’t. There is a tongue in cheek axiom that comes as a corollary to this – “I’d rather be lucky than good.” If you believe in blind luck, go with God and stop reading. If you believe we make our own luck, I’d like to share three principles for creating a great leadership team and some practical insights into each: agreement on the mission, clear communication, and balance.

So take those challenging situations and look for the opportunity to strengthen your personal mindset and your business systems. |

Are You Addicted to the Yes Habit?
| |
| How often do you find yourself saying yes when you really want to say no? Can you take on this extra project? Would you join our volunteer committee? We know its last minute but can you organize next week’s meeting? Would you like to get together with so and so (someone perhaps you’d rather not)?
Is your 'Yes Habit" working for you? If not, read on for a better understanding of what your 'yes' is all about and how to navigate towards meaningful 'no thank-you's when it counts! |

I am Equal; You are Equal
| |
| Claiming Your Life as Your Own becomes especially important during periods of transition. Outgrowing a career, retiring, entering a new relationship, leaving an old relationship to be single again, becoming a parent or residing as an empty nester after raising a family - all of these and more are rites of passage that may throw us off balance and challenge us to reclaim our lives in a new way. That question – ‘Who am I…really?’ – can emerge once again. |

How to Develop a Commitment to Teamwork

| To be most effective teamwork needs to be embraced in principle and in practice through mutual support, encouragement and accountability, believing that by working together as a team and sharing knowledge, the organization can achieve much greater results than by working as individuals. |

Self-Doubt -- Motivation
| |
| A doubt is just a feeling of uncertainty; it has no proof underpinning it. If a doubt has no basis , then it is a hindrance.
Once you have pure and sincere motivation, all the rest follows. The prime mover of every action is the motivation or the determination. |

BEING GENTLE – LEARNING TO LOVE YOURSELF
| |
| I believe everyone reading this is capable of being more than they are now, do more than they do, and have more than they have. But too often people are enmeshed in the life they lead. They want to break free, but frequently they don’t.
This article looks at the concept of being gentle with yourself (as opposed to beating yourself up over all the stuff you've not yet done) is a great way of improving the quality of your life and help you achieve more. |

How to stop your TO DO list taking over your life
| |
| The world of business these days is so fast that it's easy to find yourself on a Hamster Wheel - constantly running, constantly do, do, doing. Yet most of us want 'to be' something - happy mostly, but also more at peace, richer, healthier. There is a way to turn around this constant 'doing' into more being, and achieve more than you thought you could do before. |

Time for Action!
| |
| As a busy coach I am lucky enough to be in a position where, on a daily basis, the fascinating people I work with tell me all about their big dreams, grand plans and compelling goals. Dreams, plans and goals that they have possibly never shared with
another living soul. And I can tell you that there are some amazing potential futures out there for these people!

Saying Goodbye to Defensiveness

|
Creating Boundaries or Barriers – Where do You Hang Out?
| |
| What I’ve seen as a professional coach is that much of our personal power (‘claiming our life as our own’) relies on setting clear boundaries – listening to our own values, asking for help, and knowing what we want and don’t want. There’s an art to setting boundaries that do not become barriers to love and closeness. |

Are You Persevering or Enduring
| |
| Why try to make a distinction between perseverance and endurance? In both perseverance and endurance, we may struggle at times, feel fear of failure or rejection, or worry that we are not worthy of what we long for. So the distinction between perseverance and endurance can easily get blurred.
But perseverance and endurance take us down different roads so they are worth distinguishing. Endurance will lead us to a dead end whereas perseverance, although it may take us down a long and meandering path, offers up surprises, serendipity, and synchronicity. |

ReKindling Your Passion for Your Work and Your Life
| |
| Dear Jane,
I wake up every morning wondering how I got to where I am today: bored, dreading my responsibilities, and numb. How did this happen and what do I do about it?
Most of us have woken up occasionally to a feeling of dread or anxiety, wishing we were facing a different day ahead of us. But if this is how you feel most mornings, wishing you had a different life, you are suffering from burnout. Burnout is the result of enduring for too long and is debilitating to your spirit. The good news is that it’s curable. |

The Magic of Thinking Big: Developing the Power of Belief
| |
| I recently re-read a book that I read many years ago. It was a great reminder of the power of the mind. It’s like I tell the people that I coach, “If you think you are a winner you’re probably right. If you think you are a loser, you’re probably right.”
The Magic of Thinking Big is a great book that will help you recognize that you’re thoughts and belief in yourself are the aspects that are propelling you forward or holding you back. Knowing this is probably nothing new to you however the tough part is to learn how to develop the power of belief.
Schwartz suggests three ways to develop belief:

4 Ways of Defining Belief
| |
| By definition, belief refers to a psychological state in which a person holds to a premise, or an idea, that he or she discerns to be true. Belief is similar to knowledge, but differentiated by a level of stronger confidence and perhaps even of faith. One of Plato’s early works defined knowledge as a person’s “justified true belief”, and this understanding has continued through the ages. Simply put, you could say that belief is knowledge that has been proven true according to reason, plausibility, and evidence. Of course, one could argue that belief and knowledge are relative to the perception of one individual. This is a moot point though, because whatever a person wants to believe will be their reality - regardless if it is true or not. |
|
|
Defining Belief
| |
| Psychology, as well as other practices relating to human mentality, has long held that belief is the most basic form of conscious thought. The issue of whether belief is actually a mental state remains the subject of debate. Nevertheless, in psychology, before a subject can learn any new information, the belief system must first be addressed. This allows the "proposition", or the object of the belief, to be learned.

Belief Systems and Results
| |
| We all carry belief systems that may lead to success and or throw us off course. Many times behavioral weaknesses that are obvious to others (but not to ourselves) are the results of these belief systems. |

|
The Charismatic Mindset
| |
| Charismatic people possess a mindset of empowering beliefs that build and develop their personal magnetism. As you read through this list of beliefs, take time to consider each in turn. To what extent is each of these beliefs already part of your personal belief system? If you feel resistance to one of these statements, spend some time to imagine how you would feel, think and act if you made that belief your own. Notice how it might empower you, push you to take more responsibility, or make you stronger and more assertive. Think of something you could now do that perhaps you would not have dared to do without that new belief. Try it out. Have fun! Grow some charisma within you! |
