Conscious Connections: Are you FULLY Connected?
| |
| When activity is high, it can be easy to lose connection with what is most important. We may diminish the big and little successes occurring along the way. We may not stop and fully connect with those we love - enough or at all. We may set goals and objectives haphazardly, not owning or connecting to them at the core of our being. We may avoid connecting to the underlying feelings that haven't been expressed. We may lose connection with ourselves.
Whether you fit the "busy" description, or are just casually pacing through life - STOPPING and taking the time to "consciously connect" is essential to maximizing fulfillment AND productivity. |

Managing Personal Stress in Business
| |
| Managing stress in the workplace successfully needn't involve powerful medications. Managing stress requires taking an active role and to take responsibility for your own thoughts, feelings and behaviors. We cannot escape every deadline or every assurance, so, rather than trying to eliminate stress entirely, we need to attempt to manage stress as much we can. You need to develop strategies for managing stress, especially if you find yourself becoming constantly ill, or you feel nervous much of the time. Managing stress is not only the key to having a happier and more tranquil life, it is also necessary to remain successful in the work environment. These five techniques will help you manage your personal stress levels.

Act In Spite of Your Mood
| |
| "I don't 'feel' like it", is a common chant we often say to ourselves or to others when we're tired, not in the mood, or simply procrastinating. No doubt feelings are important and need to be acknowledged, yet at the same time, they often prevent us from taking the action we need to take, at the time we need to take it. Consequently, in the end, because we didn’t do what we needed to do, we tend to feel worse. |

Entrepreneur Things
| |
| Entrepreneurs ( I need to share this with you) do the most ridiculous things. (I’m not going to name any of those things here because I don’t want to hurt the feelings of the dumb entrepreneurs who thought them up) But, I’m sure you know what I mean. I’m sure you’ve asked yourself the question from time to time, “What in the world was he thinking?” Well, that’s the subject of this morning’s blog. (It’s morning where I am, and I woke up with the thought that I needed to get this out of my system, off my chest, out of my mind, so here goes.) |

Solving the "Blues" Problem
| |
| First, let me define the "blues." I am not referring to clinical depression, which is a medical condition and requires the help of a skilled physician. I use the term "blues" to describe the type of depression most of us experience at one time or another. It simply starts with a mild case of "stinking thinking" and accelerates into a severe case of "stinking thinking." |

Selling is not a dirty word
| |
| We are not born with our beliefs or values, they are taught to us. Our thoughts, feelings, views and opinions about the world are shaped by our experiences of many people and many things. They are coloured, rightly or wrongly, by our perceptual filters which we learn from others.
‘Watch who you let near your mind’ is a statement that is often quoted in my articles and for good reason. It takes between 6-8 weeks to unwittingly pick up and adopt another’s views, beliefs and perceptions and own them as your own if we do not question and thoroughly examine the consequences and impact of these beliefs and perceptions on our own thoughts, feelings, behaviours and actions. |

Making the Law of Attraction Work for You

| The law of attraction concepts are not taught in public schools nor in our upbringing as children. The habits we learn is programming. The cast has been set in stone, our paradigm. At some point in our life hopefully just as you are now, a discovery is made. It's called the law of attraction. By reading the processes of the law of attraction you learn how to change your paradigm. You have the ability to change your paradigm into whatever you choose for the better! Grow your life with all the happiness and riches you desire! |

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. |

My boss wants me to cold call, but I have call reluctance!
| |
| Words are meaningless without emotion and emotions are very hard to experience over the phone. In fact, over 50% of communication is achieved via non-verbal cues, such as facial expression, gesture and posture. That means most cold-callers, even the really good ones, are still limited by these phone related challenges. So be mindful, if you are choosing the telephone as your initial point of contact and introduction with a potential customer, you are already on the back foot, which means you need to work smarter. |

The biggest obstacle we face in reaching our goals is ourselves. |

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. |

Who Is Responsible For Your Choices?
| |
| Who is responsible for your life - your career - your choices? That may seem like a silly question, but often there is a victim mentally from people who choose to blame others. The others may be your parents; or the spouse that left you broke and broken-hearted. The other to blame for your hardship might be an employer who let you go for whatever reason; or a friend who betrayed you; or whatever calamity you choose to blame on another.

| |
| Giving our word and standing by it and being steadfast and reliable in our affairs are measures by which we judge commitment and integrity. For this reason, agreements—both spoken and implied—should be given thoughtful and careful attention. |

|
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.

How to Read Customers
| |
| Actions do indeed speak louder than words. In sales, our customers actions communicate feelings a lot more clearly than their words do. It is the salesperson´s job to "read" a customer; it´s the sales person´s job to determine how serious the prospect is, if indeed, he/she is the decision maker, and whether or not the prospect has the budget. It is the rare prospect who comes right out and offers this information. More often than not, they prefer to keep this information to themselves. Fortunately for us, their body language often betrays them.

The Art of HAVING and ATTRACTING The Money You Want In Your Business

Good help is hard to find. Retain the best, improve the rest.
| |
| The single most valuable asset any business has is its employees. Finding good people is always tough, even in times when unemployment is high. Even then, finding a good match of skills and culture for your business is tricky at best. And labor laws give leverage to the employee in most states. Therefore, before your employees have a chance to go stale, look for the best and recognize them. And take the rest and make them better! This article talks about how to do this, and why it is so critical to the long term stability and profitability of your organization. |

Love Relationships
| |
| As I help people discover and define their genuine Core Desires, I find that the area that stands out most is the longing for a personal love relationship.
You must determine if you are the kind of person you want to be. Can you attract the kind of person you want to be with? We usually have a great deal in common with those we are closest to. Think about the people you feel close to. You probably have similar beliefs, laugh at the same jokes, and share interests in movies, sports, styles, food, and hobbies. The more you have in common with a person, the more enjoyable the relationship will be and the faster it will grow and thrive. |
|
|
Is Your Self-Image Working For You?
| |
| Life sometimes throws us curve balls that we have to deal with-these are the "have-tos." Life becomes boring and difficult when you're only doing the things you have to do to get where you don't want to be.
If your Core Desire is to speak confidently in public, how do you acquire this ability? First, you've got to love what you are talking about, or at least have a great deal of interest in it. Knowledge is important, but it's not as critical. Another valuable way to exude a confident aura when speaking in public is to take your mind off your performance and put it on the gift in the message you are giving. If you believe in your message, have strong feelings about it, and are not focusing on how people might judge your performance, you will do just fine. |

|
Creating Great Family Relationships
| |
| When asked what is most important to them, most people respond with one word-family. When you have a family where love is expressed, and shown, the benefits are overwhelming. A happy family where respect, laughter, love, and fun exist is truly a bit of heaven on earth.
If your spouse is thoughtful, supportive, a teammate, and a friend, you'll attain greater happiness in all areas of life. If your children are close to you, bonding as siblings, developing mentally, physically, and spiritually, who can measure the joy you will know? When the trials of the world weigh heavily upon you, your family becomes a true source of strength, encouragement, and peace-a shelter from the storm. |

You Can't Sell Anybody Anything… Until They Discover They Want It!
| |
| Despite what most traditional sales trainers tell us, it’s very difficult to convince people that they want or need something that they're not already asking to buy. Our experiences at Sandler Sales Institute have demonstrated that when we try to force-sell our products or services, all we do is evoke feelings of defensiveness in our prospects. Unconsciously, the prospects "defend" whatever it is they already own or use. Under those circumstances, prospects won't make a "new" decision.

| This is the last part of the series and I want to share with you some amazing tips to convert website visitors into customers and customers into long-term clients.
Why Should I Believe You?
Your visitors don’t know you. Give them a good reason to believe you. The most common way of doing this is with testimonials. They are great because your customers’ word, unlike yours, is unbiased. If you can, get video testimonials. Audio testimonials work great too. If you have written testimonials at least include a photo of your customer and the city they live in, website, and any other relevant information. Testimonials signed by “John M.” are not very credible. |

Accentuate the Positive: Motivate Yourself with an Attitude of Gratitude
| |
| So often when we think about our lives, most of us tend to look either back at the past and its accomplishments and failures or we look forward to what we will start doing or stop doing in the future. Although it is not necessarily a bad habit to review goals met or not met and formulate goals to work toward and attain, I want to suggest that you also take the time to look at the present moment and concentrate on all the things in your life, right now, for which you are grateful. |

The definition is: 'clearly apparent to the sight or understanding!' Did you know that an infinite number of things are manifested every day? That's right! Each thought, each vibration, each feeling or belief manifests a response. Be it positive or negative, good or bad. |

The Importance of Organisational Behaviour
| |
| Have you ever got up in the morning and thought, "I really don't want to go to work today"? I think we all have at some point in our lives. You may also have had times when you have thought or said, "I hate my job, I hate where I work." These feelings have nothing to do with you, your job or your workplace. The problem lies in the fact that your supervisor or manager has no idea how to manage organisational behaviour! |

EMPLOYEE TRUST – WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU FEAR THE WORST
| |
| Have you ever asked yourself; “Is this employee being upfront and honest with me?” We may have a gut feeling or something maybe does not size up, yet we have no concrete evidence of deceit. This is a difficult situation as the repercussions of falsely accusing an employee may hinder a future of trust.

One more time how do we motivate people?
| |
| How to motivate people? The hoary old chestnut that never seems to be resolved and on which is written so much I am wary of contributing to the confusions and misinformation. It is not really possible to ‘motivate’ someone rather you offer them reasons why they could or should motivate themselves. It does sound a little obvious since each person has select and very exclusive to their own mind and feelings. The term ‘motivation’ in business often means something like: Get people performing better than they are now. That may or may not involve ‘motivation’, but it is surprising the discussions that occur around the issue of ‘how to get them going?’ |

Time Management
| |
|
The most valuable resource we have, is time and sales people more than anyone know how challenging it can be to cram everything that needs to be done into their available time. According to Stephen R. Covey, author of ‘First Things First’ we should focus on our high priority tasks, those that provide the biggest levers towards achieving our goals. That’s why, being clear on what you want to accomplish in every facet of your life will determine the importance and therefore the priority of everything you need to do.

|
|
Looking Inside to Create What we Want
| |
| Before looking outwards at our prospects and customers, we need to look at ourselves, because each of us is a unique human being with our own desires, dreams, problems and thoughts. To understand how we can communicate and therefore sell more effectively we need to understand the human communication process. |

Leadership Characteristics – Managing With Feeling

When you look inside their companies, you see unhappy people (both managers and staff), all tightly hanging onto what is right in their view and making sure they get what they are entitled to.

LIFE IS DIFFICULT
| |
| In Scott Peck’s remarkable book; “The Road Less Traveled,” first published in 1978, he opens with the now famous line; “Life is difficult.” He then goes on to say; “this is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult --- once we truly understand and accept it --- then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.” |

Motivating employees
| |
| Often I get asked how to motivate people … how to motivate them to perform better, to want to do things or to want to buy your product. People are motivated only by two things – to move away from pain or a painful situation or towards something they want. The archetypal carrot and stick approach. |

Life’s A Journey Not A Race Or An Event
| |
| Imagine looking at your life as a series of invitations to be fully alive in each moment. See those situations that stretch you out of your comfort zone as healing and growth opportunities - blessings in disguise. Savor the people and moments that bring you joy. Slow down and bring your focus out of the past and future to the present moment to appreciate and receive the daily gifts that come your way. |

Coaching Tip: Identify Your Core Values
| |
| Your values are the principles, beliefs and attitudes that guide your decisions, actions and behaviors. Your core values reflect who you are and represent your heart. They define and distinguish who you are as a person – what matters most to you, what you stand for (and stand on) as your inner foundation. When you act in a way that is in conflict with your heart, your life feels more like a struggle, unhappiness grows, you can feel disconnected from your SELF. When you make choices and take actions that line up with your values, you will experience greater peace and abundance. |
|
|
How to Improve Your Time Management
| |
| One of the most common things that I come across working with people in business (especially business owners) is the comment that ‘I just have too much to do and not enough time to do it’
Now experience has shown that, on average, many people are actually working productively for only 20% of their working week until they start to focus on how they plan their week and their use of time.
Effective time management is not just about productivity though – it’s essential to your health too (and it’s one of the key determinants of your business success).
It is not unusual, when coaching clients, that we see a substantial increase in time management effectiveness enabling business owners to double their previous output results in quite a short period of time |

You Can Have It All....Just Not All At Once!

| Usually, when it comes to attaining our goals and seeing our dreams come true, we have set a timeline or, at least, have one in mind. That is a good thing. It keeps us focused, motivated. It is tangible; it is binary, measurable: have I been, done, reached such-and-such? Yes or no…

Choose to Breakthrough
| |
| Most people want one. They pray, wish and hope for one. They want a miracle of some kind to zap them. They think maybe somebody else will create the opening for it to happen. They’re hoping one day they’ll wake up with a “lightening bolt moment” and something will be different. People are looking for a breakthrough. |
|
|
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. |

How Playfulness Attracts Wealth-Yes, It's True!
| |
| As a Law of Attraction student and practitioner, you know that the better your feelings are, the easier you will attract what you clearly ask for. I would like to talk about the quality and feelings of playfulness. Are you aware that playfulness can make you even more prosperous?
Most of us have been brought up with a strong work ethic. Often this work ethic has a serious tone to it. “If I work hard, then I’ll be wealthy.” “If I work longer hours, then I’ll deserve to be prosperous.” Even though we may not say that consciously, deep down, that is what many of us believe. We are brought up to feel that the only way to be wealthy and abundant is if we work very hard and make numerous sacrifices along the way. Otherwise we don’t deserve it-and it won’t happen.

| The other day a client sat nervously in my office, dismissing her "silly" feelings preemptively with a wave of her hand. “Please explain,” I encouraged.

BEING IN INTEGRITY
| |
| "The Forming – Storming – Norming – Performing model of group development was first proposed by Bruce Tuckman in 1965, who maintained that these phases are all necessary and inevitable in order for the team to grow, to face up to challenges, to tackle problems, to find solutions, to plan work, and to deliver results.
