Influence and Persuasion tip: Straight-Talk
When Mr. S appeared on stage the whole crowd stood up in respect and giving him a rousing welcome. Needless to say it was an amazing seminar. I could understand now why Mr. S was such an adored person. He had such an influence on his people that no one dared question him. It was awesome!

Network Marketing Prospecting tip: 4 must-ask questions
One of the things that scared me the most in my network marketing business was to pick up the phone and call people. I used to get paralyzed when the time came to get to the phone. This had an adverse effect on my business. In order to cure me of this disease, I started researching on the subject to get an answer. And I got the answer from...

Network Marketing Success Tips: Choose your team wisely

Imagine this: You are a soccer coach about to lead your team to the field for an all important match. Just before you leave for the field, a star player approaches you in the locker room and tell you this – “Coach, I am going to play on the left wing. I am not going to give passes to X, Y and Z because I don’t like them. These are my conditions; if you are okay with them then you can let me play”. What do you think you will do?

Fear: The biggest obstacle to success

When I was in MLM, I used to wonder why people do not grab the opportunity when it stares right in their faces? I used to think why I could see the opportunity very clearly but the others don’t? I later realized that they do see the opportunity but they don’t want to accept it because they are doubtful whether they will be successful at it. That’s the real problem. It’s the age-old obstacle called the ‘Fear of Failure’ that prevents them from taking action for their own good.

Change yourself first, before you try changing others
Being a frequent flier I have always been exposed to this message before takeoff, but never did I take notice of the real meaning behind it. That is until Jim Rohn came along and opened my eyes to it. The message in question here...

Rest is as important as Activity
It was 0630 pm and the sun had just set on the highway. I was driving back home from work on a busy day and was keeping the care at the speed limit of 100 kmph. The audio CD program ‘Power of positive thinking’ by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale was being lapped up. All seemed well, except for one fact – I was asleep at the wheel.

How to find topics for Articles – Beating writer’s block
There is not a single week that passes by without me having to ponder over what topic to write about in my article, or what should I blog about, or what information do I share. I encounter this dilemma called the ‘Writer’s Block’ every time and I manage to get through it every time too. This article will show you how.

How to create lasting change and success

For my height my ideal weight should be 75 kgs. So being the 92kgs that I am is not much fun and healthy. For the past 10 years I have been struggling to get to the 75 kgs level, but to no avail. I start off on an exercise program, get in the mid 80s and before I know it I give up and get back on square one. Haven’t you gone through this before? Have you been wondering why this happens? Why is it that even though you start off with so much energy and conviction you lose steam halfway through? The answer can be found in none other than...

How to eliminate credit card debt strategically

It was not until 2 years after that initial credit card purchase that I realized my folly. I was deep in debt with 3 maxed out cards. Struggling to pay off the cards out of my paycheck, life became uninteresting. I vowed to be debt-free and took it as my personal mission. The result? After 6 more years I had 7 maxed out credit cards and a huge personal loan to pay off (which by the way I had borrowed to pay off my credit card debt).

Passive Income Opportunities for Cashflow Club Members

Being an ardent fan of Robert Kiyosaki and a RichDad personal coaching student myself, I have an affinity towards cashflow clubs. During my cashflow club meetings, I have noticed that every time there is a gathering there are always fresh faces to be seen. That’s a clear sign that more and more people are being attracted to the idea of getting out of the rat race. However, on the down side many of them who have attended earlier do not seem to hang on

Good Debt, Bad Debt: Know the difference

Does debt make you richer or poorer? Ask a poor or middle class man, and he will say it makes me poorer. Ask the rich, and he will say that it makes me richer. Why are the answers at the opposite ends of the spectrum? The reason why the answers differ is because of the kind of debt that each class refers to. The poor and the middle class look at all debts are ‘bad’ debts, whereas the rich look at debts as ‘good’ debts. Now, what’s the difference between ‘Bad’ and ‘Good’ debts? The former takes money out of your pocket, whereas the latter puts money in your pocket. Understanding this fundamental difference will do you a whale of good when it comes to financial management. Let’s explore further.

How to start off fresh each day

Maria Robinson said, “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.” As you may have gathered by now, it becomes imperative that...

How to Become An Extrovert

I was staring down at a post-it note with a phone number of a potential client on it. My mind was racing about how to start the conversation so that I can get an appointment with him. My palms were sweaty and my breath short. I was thinking to myself, “John, this is the 3rd freakin’ day that you have been staring down that note and have not mustered the courage to pick up the phone and talk! Enough is Enough! Do it now! Do it now!” I picked up...

Importance of Coaching: Why does one need one?

When an evil spirit goes out of the person, it travels over dry country looking for a place to rest. If it can't find one, it says to itself ‘I will go back to my house which is clean and all fixed up’. Then it goes out and brings seven other spirits even worse than itself and they come and live there. So when it is all over, that person is in worse shape than at the beginning. - Matthew: 12: 43-45 If you have read this verse before, what was your understanding? Well, let me tell you...

The Opportunity of the Information Age

In the book Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell explains that success by no means is just sheer hard work and high IQ. It also involves your upbringing, being presented with the right opportunity at the right time and your thought process. There is one section that I found quite interesting. He lists down the 75 richest humans ever to set foot on planet Earth, from Pharaohs to the current day Carlos Slims. The #1 was...

Luck is what happens when preparedness meets opportunity

Being an avid aviation fan since childhood, planes (especially general aviation) have always had a special place in my heart. And I remember very clearly the time when I had an opportunity to work for Boeing. I was invited for the interview and result was that they liked me but they did not like my skill level for the particular role I was supposed to execute. So what happened? The opportunity passed by. But did I give up then? No. I kept learning and training myself more and more. I didn’t give up on the dream of working for a dream-company like Boeing. And it paid off, but almost a year from the initial interview. I was finally given the opportunity to work for one of my dream-companies. Now, what do you think happened there? Why was I given the role later? The reason is simple and it’s right there. It’s because

The Secret of Growth-How to get Compensated more

The other day, during one of my regular visits to my retail stores, I happened to give a small pep talk to my boys at the shop. The boys found it very valuable and insightful, so I guess I might as well share it with you. So what did I tell them during that pep talk that left my team feeling inspired? I asked them, “Why is it that you, working as a technician, working in a hot and humid environment, and physically involved in hard manual labor, get paid so low compared to a manager who sits in an air-conditioned environment with no physical labor to his credit?” The answer that I got was, ‘Because the manager is more educated than us’, ‘Because the manager manages the whole show’, ‘Because the manager makes decisions’, etc. Now, let me ask YOU the same question. What is your answer?

How to get the world to respond to you – A Facebook Lesson

Let me be frank with you. I’ve never liked facebook as much as I’ve hoped to. Even though it’s seems so much fun, I never got to be comfortable with it. Honestly, I couldn’t figure out why it didn’t suit me. But that’s until recently. Today I know exactly why I couldn’t sync with facebook, and I am taking corrective actions to make things right. So what was it about facebook and me that didn’t gel? It was this - I felt I am posting valuable content, but I was not getting anybody to respond to it. Very few, if at all, used to comment or like my content, and these were from friends that I am already acquainted with. But when I used to see other people getting a ton of comments, I used to unconsciously feel envious and used to ask myself as to what’s got so many people participating in that topic? Yes, I did get the answer; and from...

Your Environment: A Determining factor to your Success
In his book Blink, Malcolm Gladwell covers a topic on Priming The Subconscious Mind. I feel there is an interesting point being exercised here, and would like to share it with you. He mentions about a very curious test conducted by a psychologist named John Bargh, called the Priming Experiment. Read on...

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. There are 2 traffic cones placed across the road with a distance of 3 meters between them. You have been given a challenge to drive the car between the cones without touching. Simple test, isn’t it? 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’

The other day, during my keyword research, I was researching some popular keywords. What caught my surprise is that the keyword with most searches in that particular category was ‘Free Money Online’. This got me thinking about people not having a clue about how money works and what it stands for. Hopefully, this article can shed some light on how money works and what you need to do to earn it. Kindly note that I said ‘earn it’. The core problem with today’s generation is their idea of...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

How To Focus On Your ‘Right’ Priorities
The word ‘right’ for me means right-brain, which translates to intuitively honoring the optimal choice or investment of time and energy. The right priorities are not always the obvious priorities.

Resistance and Resilience Reflect Each Other
Resistance is what we experience when we’re getting ready to do something that goes beyond what we know, expect or find familiar. It’s the thing that makes us have bad hair days, get paper cuts, drop the coffee, run late or lose the phone when we’re about to make big change. The ironic thing about it is that resistance shows up even when we actually want the change to happen.

Knowing these triggers as keys to unlocking your business potential can save you time, resources and money by identifying what you might not even recognize as an issue.

The Power of Practical Wisdom
To have practical wisdom means that you know when to innovate, when to bend the rules, when to be flexible, when to improvise a solution. No set of rules can give us what we want because they become inherently constrictive. And rules can often require the individual to sacrifice their own beliefs in order to adhere to the rule.

Should You Share Your Business Idea With Others?

Protecting your idea from unscrupulous people can be put you in a precarious position. On one hand you would like to get the benefits of sharing your idea with others. These benefits can be invaluable as you venture into a new business. A new pair of eyes with a fresh view point can help you identify; problems with your assumptions, new opportunities that haven’t been explored, and/or just provide constructive criticism. But the idea of someone stealing your business idea and starting it themselves can be a very real and paralyzing fear. This article discusses the pros and cons of sharing your idea and how to protect yourself.

Why you should have a hobby when you run your own business

Get More clients - 3 Things To Do Now

Have you spoken with any new businesse owners and professionals who are feeling frustrated and desperate because they don't have enough clients to bring in the income they need and want? I know how challenging it can be when you are passionate about helping others, good at what you do and not understanding why clients aren't coming to see you. Especially, when you see them going elsewhere! Most people who start a business are specialized at what they do. Which is just what they need to be. However, most underestimate the difficulty of the other essential parts of a business - sales and marketing - and getting the clients to come to you.

How to Find Clients
What I’m hearing as the obstacle for most people looking to attract new clients is NOT actually a lack of information and theory, but a lack of implementation, a lack of step-by-step processes, of resources and a lack of the TIME, FOCUS, and DEDICATION needed to make things happen.

Are You a Master of Your Moments?
Ever step back and consider how you function? Seriously, are you the type of person who is always completing an assignment, a presentation, a project with not one second to spare? You have a full plate of work and activities to do and the ones you complete are the ones due for completion either tomorrow or in maybe one hour from right now.

Communicating and Connecting Are Keys to Success

Do you recall a recent interaction you may have either been a part of or witnessed, where one person was clearly communicating some information and the audience clearly did not understand what was being said? The speaking person, sooner or later, realizes from the puzzled looks or the questions being asked, that the message was not being understood. So the speaker starts again and says the same exact words, just more slowly and louder. Does this work? Does this method ever work? Of course not!

To be Successful, Does it have to Hurt First?
Why do we think we will achieve different results from our business, when we keep doing the same exact things which have not worked before? We attend the same networking events. We give the same two minute elevator speech every single time. We make the same phone calls, eat the same lunch, and frequent the same restaurants every single day. Why do we expect different results?

Are You The April Fools’ Day Joke in Your Business?
How far do you allow humor, tricks, pranks and these activities to pervade your business or organization? For example, professional speakers for years have been opening up their talk with a humorous story, as they expect this to allow a better connection with their audience. Does the same work in your business, to help develop teamwork and camaraderie?

Your Habits Will Determine Your Success (or Not)
Someone once said to me, "I don't read the articles on blogs as there is nothing of value and I am always feeling like someone is selling to me." My thought was, maybe you need to upgrade which blogs you read!

Your Value System Will Set You Up For Success

In the position of leadership, as in the person in charge of a company, do we discuss our personal value system? Is this of great importance to discuss? It is my belief that this is one of the critical foundational building blocks which has been missing for a number of years and is a contributing factor to the current leadership void which exists today in corporate America. This is not to say bring your religious beliefs or spiritual practices exactly as these are practiced into the workplace.

What Does Pizza Teach You About Setting up Your Business for Success?
It is my assumption, that where ever you live, you are able to either purchase pizza or prepare your own pizza. In the area known as The New York Metro Area and the area around Boston, people are very loyal to where the ‘best’ pizza is to be found.

Networking, Working? Or Notworking?

The discussion of who is your ideal client and how do you define the right customers for the success of your business is an important topic.

This definition will help to determine your marketing strategy all the way to how and where you network.

Valuable Lesson for Small Business Owners

For those who do not know, last Thursday, Dimon announced to various analysts, essentially to the world that his bank had lost $2 billion, yes a ‘b’, by taking a wrong and ‘stupid’ (his words) bet with a hedging strategy utilizing credit derivatives.

Mentors Make Magic in Your Life
How about you? Do you have a mentor? Do you have someone you talk to on a regular basis about your career, life, job and anything else that is important in your life?
