Pulling The Right Strings: How Henson Achieved Success

“When I was a kid, I never saw a puppet show,” Henson recalled. “I never played with puppets or had any interest in them.” It is with thankfulness from children around the world that Henson’s interests changed over time. Such familiar characters as Kermit the Frog, Ernie, Rowlf the dog, and Miss Piggy have since become ingrained in the national psyche. Henson revolutionized the worlds of children’s television and puppeteering and had a blast along the way. How did he do it?

Lesson #3: Experiment and Innovate
“I am in the prime of senility,” Franklin once said.

“I think a lot of people, friends included, were saying, ‘I know you're a believer in this and all, but you know, sometimes no matter how hard you believe it just doesn't happen.

Case was struggling to become a success, to find his niche and to make a name for himself in an industry in which he saw limitless potential. “I just believed, and so I kept doing it…we're going to make this happen. We were going to stick with it.”

Best Internet Network Marketing Training System the Secret in Tough Times

I was at the beach last weekend and while I was sitting on my balcony, I could see some kids building a huge sand castle near the water. It was obvious they had spent hours on it.

The Big Mistakes in Goal Setting
The way most of us were taught to set goals could very well be the set up for disappointment. We've always been told in business seminars to write S.M.A.R.T goals.

Career Tips for High Achievers Who Are Feeling Stagnant

High achievers are prone to enter a time in their career where they plateau or stall. Perhaps promotions are not coming as fast and furious as they once did or in some cases, they have achieved every goal they have set and have run out of challenges. Achievers will ask themselves, "Is this all there is?" After striving for success, when success levels out, the feeling of advancement is replaced by a feeling of stagnation. This condition could be called Achievers Depression or Career Stall.

The Two Most Devastating Vanity Goals

There are two common goals that are promoted in American society more than any other to the point that people believe they are concrete and valuable goals to achieve. Most importantly, most devastating, is that these goals are so superficial and irrelevant, but negatively mind altering, that a person or business cannot do anything but fail trying to meet them. And if they are achieved, they are done so at the peril of a person's character and integrity. These are called "vanity goals", goals that should be avoided at all costs if you want your personal and business lives to succeed and make a difference. This article describes the two most common vanity goals that have caused the most destruction by far in our society. Free your mind of these and you lay the course to achieve real purpose.

A Change In Mindset Comes Before a Change in Ability

Salespeople Should be More Like Children

Our son wrote a book today. He illlustrated it too. No big deal? He just turned 7. He loves to read and apparently, he must have felt that there weren't enough new books arriving in his room so he decided to create a Pokeman book to read instead. I can't wait until he's old enough to sell something because this behavior translates! When there aren't enough new leads coming in he will simply create his own.

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.

The Need to Achieve

The need to achieve is one of the more visible needs in our society. It fuels performance in the worlds of sports (Gold Medal anyone?), music, politics, media and certainly, business. We all have a need to achieve. At one level or another, everyone wants to succeed at something. An unfulfilled need for achievement leads to frustration, disappointment and a decreased sense of self-worth. Just think of a simple goal of getting to work on time and the silly red traffic light that prevents you from achieving that goal. Yep, you know the feeling, but these are not feelings we want our team (or ourselves!) to have.

Choose Your View

Our experiences are much less important than how we choose to think about them. The way we interpret our experiences shapes our beliefs about the past. Furthermore, our interpretations either limit or enable our future success. For example, a mission-critical project you are leading has “promotion” written all over it, but it bombs – it’s over budget, past its deadline… the works. How you choose to interpret those facts is where you can shape your future. Are you a failure, a poor leader who is maxed out and on her way out? Or, are you a great leader in the making who is learning some tough lessons that will help ensure success on the next project when your true colors will show? Facts are facts, but the view you take is your choice.

How do we get anything done?

After 23+ years of studying people, both inside and outside of companies, I am frankly stunned that we accomplish what we accomplish. Why? Because we live in a world that is governed by a set of rules, that we are mostly unaware of, which are much more set up for us to fail than for us to succeed.
