ATTRACTING SUCCESS Part One
There was once a young boy who found a magic lamp, he rubbed it and out popped a being who said..."Your wish is my command." Who do you think was in control? What did that "wishmaster" represent and why did Mother Theresa refuse to attend an Anti-war rally? The law of attraction has been kept a SECRET FOR MANY CENTURIES...NO MORE!

Just Because You Are Impatient Does NOT Mean I Have To Move Any Faster
Have we evolved into beings that have become so selfish and self absorbed that we have forgotten about our own self control? The ability to keep your mental, emotional and physical being, in check, requires self-control. The inability to do so is a sign that you are "out of control." When you easily lose your self control, you will most certainly fire off outbursts of anger, temper and blame on others.

Confusing Who You are with What You Have Been Through: Learning Self-Command
Untangling your past so that you can move forward and experience new success in your life is an important part of having success. Self-command teaches you how to take action and become your dreams and fulfill your life with more joy, success and happiness. Learn how you can take life to a whole new level. Go on, take command of your dreams.

What You Control
You may not be able to control if your job gets cut, but you can control whether you're a high performer who your boss is fighting to keep. You may not be able to control how quickly you get another job, but you can control the number of daily contacts you make in your search and how you "show up," future-focused, at the interview. You may not be able to control the amount of work you get, but you do control whether you're responding as a victim or taking action toward developing your skills and contacts for a new future.

Check Your Ego at the Door
Managers by the nature of their duties have authority over employees that report to them. How the manager exercises this authority defines them as a manager or leader of people. Leaders control their ego, in most cases, managers do not and it takes a confident person, secure in their abilities to control their ego. Ego, for our purpose of discussion is defined as and elevated inaccurate self-image of importance and using that idea to coerce an employee to complete their command.

Are you following a Sales Process?
If not, you are not only wasting your time, but you are also losing sales because of it. You think you are in control but in reality you are out of control. Have you ever been rejected? If your answer is yes, you have just proven that you are not in control of the sales process; however, the buyer is in control. Isn’t it your job and responsibility as a sales professional to qualify the prospects and to reject them if they are not qualified? Who is really qualifying? Who is really in control?

The Secret to Feeling in Control During Times of Change
For most of us, the thought of having control over life inconveniences seems like a great idea; wouldn’t it be great to control traffic, the weather, our family or neighbors? However, rather than actual control over our environment, what we really want is simply a sense of control, to feel like we’re on top of things. This can be achieved by choosing to accept challenges for what they are, setting a clear intention of what we need to do and finding the balance between our level of ability and the challenge presented. By learning to consciously reframe even the most chaotic situation, you’ll find that feeling “in control” is less about making life go according to plan, and more about your ability to focus on what you can control.

Assessing Our Ability to Influence Others
In our personal and leadership development workshops we often conduct a 'degrees of control' exercise. We ask participants to come up with examples in the following areas: 1. Direct Control; 2. Influence; and 3. No Control. While there's often lots of debate and not always full agreement, examples under No Control generally include things like the weather, the economy, natural disasters, freak accidents, and the like. Discussions about my degree of Direct Control usually boil down to just one thing - me. However, some autocratic people fool themselves into thinking they have direct control over their teams, kids, or people reporting to them. Many other people are quick to surrender to the Victimitis Virus and declare they have no control or even influence over the behavior of anyone else.

Great Leadership Requires Inspiration, III
Inspirational leadership - or more of it, anyway - is the goal of many of my coaching clients. Increasingly, leaders recognize that command-and-control isn't enough to get the job done these days, when a generation of their teammates are more interested in "having" a job than in "doing" the job the leader remembers signing up for years ago. So, since inspirational leadership requires being an inspired person, we've been talking about how to become more personally inspired....
