GOT MENTOR: Finding a mentor of quality.
| |
| “If I have seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulders of giants." Scientist Sir Isaac Newton, in a letter to his colleague Robert Hooke, February 1676.
A mentor is someone with more experience than you who serves as a trusted confidante over an extended period of time.In other words, a mentor is not just an advisor, a mentor is someone who has been there and done that and is best suited to guide you along the path of profitability in your business. |

Characteristics of a Mentor
| |
| What are the characteristics of a mentor? The most important characteristic that mentors share is the willingness to lead by example and to focus on the ways in which differences will make the company stronger. Some of the best mentors are going to find that those who they have mentored move beyond them in the company or become better at the job than the mentor himself or herself. |

Self Confidence, Mentors and Success
| |
| Successful people are self confident. Self confident people surround themselves with positive people. They find mentors to help them build their self confidence. Mentors are positive people because they are willing to give of themselves to help others succeed. When you’re looking for a mentor, look for someone who is highly skilled, is a lifelong learner, is respected by his or her colleagues, has a positive outlook on life and is willing to provide you with direct, constructive feedback. When you find the right mentor you won’t have to go it alone on the road to career and life success. |
|
|
Self Confidence
| |
| There are a few common sense points associated with self confidence. Believe in yourself. Your career success will be built on your self confidence. First, be optimistic. As the Optimist Creed says, "Be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble." Second, take action. Face your fears and deal with them. Live your life in the career success arena, so you will know the "triumph of achievement." Third, find the positive people around you. Hold on to them. Identify the negative people around you. Jettison them. Find a career success mentor and learn everything you can from him or her. |

Mentor Others to Create Your Own Success
| |
| Successful people are self confident. Self confident people surround themselves with positive people. Mentors, by definition are positive people. They are willing to give of themselves to help others succeed. I urge you to find mentors to help you create the successful life and career you want and deserve. I also urge you to mentor others. It's never too early. As Wall Street Journal reporter, Jonnelle Marte points out -- many young people have accelerated their career development by mentoring their boss and colleagues. I think that we all have something to offer -- something that someone else is eager to learn. Figure out what you know that others around you don't and then take the time to share your knowledge and expertise. You'll be helping your colleagues, your company and yourself if you do so. |

You've Got To Be Self Confident To Ask For Help
| |
| People lacking in self confidence don't like to feel vulnerable. Self confident people, on the other hand, realize that it's OK -- better than OK really to put themselves in a vulnerable position by asking for help. Self confident people find mentors to help them learn and grow. They realize that admitting what you don't know and asking for help are the best ways to learn what they need in order to success. |

The Key in Life Coaching is Spiritual Empowerment
| |
| Empowerment is the ability to create in a way that powerfully aligns and attracts. Becoming a Life Coach , before you can empower others, you must first be empowered as an individual yourself.

Square Peg Round Hole
| |
| In his wonderful book The Element, Sir Ken Robinson tells a story that I’m sure many people can relate to. In it, a young girl named Gillian is having trouble concentrating at school. The school – suspecting a learning disability – asks her mother to take 8-year-old Gillian to see a psychiatrist for evaluation. After hearing from the girl’s mother how the girl is always disturbing her classmates, her homework is sloppy and always late – the doctor asks to speak with Gillian alone. Before escorting the mother outside for a private conference, the doctor turns on the radio in the room to occupy Gillian.
As soon as the music began to play, the girl was on her feet. From outside the room, Gillian’s mother observed for a few minutes as she moved beautifully to the music, dancing around the room, lost in a childlike trance. |

Leadership Development during a Recession
| |
| Listen, times are tough. Some of you may even be facing economic crisis. Keep in mind that as a leader you don’t create crisis. But, a crisis can create leaders. Now is the time to leverage the current economic crisis to enhance leadership development within your company. Ask yourself these questions:
• What kind of example are you setting during these tough economic times? The majority of your employees have probably never experienced a recession.
• What kind of knowledge or experience are you passing down?
• Are you living up to your responsibility to have a personal impact on leadership development within the organization?
• What kind of mentor have you been?
• Are you allowing your employees to stretch – to fail – to grow?
• Are you empowering and demonstrating faith and trust in your employees?

Success Isn’t a Mystery in any Economy
| |
| My first piece of advice on success today for anyone willing to listen is simply to turn off the news. Don’t listen to CNN. Turn off the Fox News network, NBC, CNBC and all the other networks that are sensationalizing everything that is happening in our economy on a minute to minute basis. I have made a conscious decision not to listen because a high percentage of what you see on television today is pure garbage designed simply to improve ratings. I refuse to listen to a constant diet of negativity. In fact, I refuse to even associate with negative people. I suggest that each and every one of us has an obligation to protect our attitude. |

Mirror the Actions of People Who Have What You Want
| |
| When I was 20 years old I was introduced to a business opportunity which had a very solid process which, if followed, would have produced significant results. At least that's what I was told.
I was a tad bit different back in those days. I had a rockin' mullet with my hair below my shoulders, an earring, but it was all business on the top ... just a little poofy business since I hadn't yet been introduced to hair product. :)
The guys I met with, explained how this would be my own business and how, although I was in business for myself, I wasn't in business by myself. They committed to teach me the same system that many other people had followed to become extremely successful. |

Mentoring - It’s All Greek to Me!
| |
| Did you know the first mentor was Greek? It’s one of those funny things where a guy was a mentor and, by coincidence, his name was Mentor. King Odysseus (he was Greek too) asked his friend (named Mentor) to watch over his son while he went away to fight a war. Old Mentor was a wise, sober, and loyal fellow and did a great job influencing the young man for the good. |

Surviving the Narcissist Leader
| |
| CEOs or Presidents, who attain positions of power, reach these positions for a variety of reasons. The reasons are not always a result of competency and hard work; these positions are not always earned. As a result employees find themselves under the rule of various kinds of leaders. Even those leaders that have earned their position can be impossible to work for and it’s difficult to be happy and satisfied doing it.
I personally have worked for two Narcissist CEOs during my career. Both of them were extremely vain, egotistical, conceited, selfish and paranoid. Each demonstrated one or more of those character flaws to an extreme. One actually threw a stapler at his secretary. Another had bugging devices installed in his executive team's offices. Both were believed to have Bi-Polar personalities by many. |

Leadership is about Taking Action
| |
| Leadership is often measured by your ability to take action. Yes, sometimes that means shooting from the hip by taking "calculated" risk. It becomes a function of how fast you can analyze a situation, take action and make things happen. The more proactive you are, the more productive you will become. This earns trust and respect. There is no greater reward than accomplishing a difficult task. However, you can't complete a project if it never gets started. |

Reverse Mentoring
| |
| In business mentoring is regarded as a relationship in which one person (the mentor) - usually someone more experienced, often more senior in an organisation - helps another (the learner or mentee) to discover more about themselves, their potential and their capability.
Recently, mentoring has taken on many other forms such as peer and group mentoring. The latest form of mentoring involves organizations shifting into reverse; they are asking tech-savvy employees to teach the "old dogs" new tricks. |

Business Opportunity 10,000 Hours To Success
| |
| Business opportunity online can make you a millionaire or it can make you a pauper. Well, maybe not a pauper, but you can spend a lot of money and never realize a dime if you don't know what you are doing. Building a business takes time. You should be prepared to work with dedication and diligence for 3-5 years. Fantasy thinking is non productive and destructive. Unless you believe in your business, product and income potential enough to make a 3-5 year commitment to building your business, you should walk away. Building a business requires dedication, discipline and persistence to do whatever it takes to be successful. Finding a mentor or a team of entrepreneurs willing to share their knowledge, expertise and skills can shorten your learning curve and fast track you to success in your chosen business opportunity. |

Mentors and Protégées
| |
| A mentor is someone - perhaps a family member, friend or business associate - who is more experienced in the business who is willing to give you some of their time, advice and support. Mentors never do this for money. They enter into the relationship because they want to help you. They see some potential in you and maybe a little of themselves in you. They want to help and you must be ready. |

While you can expect to pay anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars for the privilege of working with a mentor, the relationship can earn you back your investment many times over, in saved time and sound business advice.

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.

What’s the Difference Between Coaching And Mentoring?
| |
| The people doing the guiding are generally called coaches and mentors. The two roles are similar in some ways but in fact are very different. Before attempting this role laden with responsibility it is important to understand the difference between coaching and mentoring and to find out what is best for your relationship with your potential followers. |
|
|
The Importance Of Making Connections
| |
| In my efforts as a local store marketing mentor to restaurant franchisees and franchisors, I often find myself prodding them them to "make a connection" when they are visiting someone for the first time.
Here's a quick illustration...
Recently, my brother was in Manhattan on business. As he stepped off his cab, he had two blocks to walk to his destination. He is often approached by people begging for money and this time was no different, a man made his way toward him-but this beggar was different.
The beggar extended his hand to reveal four quarters,and asked my brother, "Can you give me a dollar bill for these four quarters?" My brother paused for a moment, took the four quarters and handed the man a dollar bill.
A moment later, the beggar smiled and said, "Sir could you spare a quarter?"
Make a connection. |

|
A Mentor Is Important, But A Coach Is Invaluable
| |
| Both terms, mentor and coach, are used interchangeably, designating leadership in guiding others to excellence. But there is an important distinction between the two terms. A mentor lays the foundation for success to their student or client. A mentor gives advice and answers questions but rarely, if ever, follows up to check on the progress of their client. A mentor sees the people they help as clients, while a coach sees them as students with the goal of turning them into either partners or coaches themselves. While mentors have helped millions of entrepreneurs get their businesses off the ground, coaches inject themselves into the process and guide the entrepreneur from business start-up to profit. Mentors generally take a hands-off approach while coaches are definitely hands-on. |

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. |

Improve Your Health to Enjoy Your Wealth

| What good is being successful in your business if you have such poor health you cannot enjoy it? I know it is hard to get the adequate sleep we need when building a business. It is difficult to treat exercise as a necessity as compared to researching the best keywords for your Google AdWords campaign.

So just as you did with your personal and business goals when you first started your business, go ahead and take out a sheet of paper and start writing down the following goals you need so you can improve your health to enjoy your wealth. |

How Do I Develop Attainable Goals?
| |
| The internet, books and courses are flooded with information about goal setting and goal planning. This is all great information for a seasoned business owner with a higher ratio of working on their business to working in their business. New business owners, however, listen to audio CDs and read books about goal setting, then ignore it to work on their AdWords campaign. They see the benefit of proper goal planning but do not think they have the time to do it properly since it took them over a week to read a book about it.
This article lays out a simple yet robust plan to develop attainable goals in less than 30 minutes. Plus, with its revolving structure, as more goals are met, more get created, giving the business owner confidence that goals are being met while striving for the big picture. |

How to Choose the Right Business Coach For You
| |
| Ask any successful business owner, Olympic champion, pageant queen, or executive about their success, and they will likely thank a mentor or coach. So, when you seek out a coach yourself, you can be sure you are in the right track. But, is it just me or is there a new "Speaker, Author, and Coach" on every corner nowadays? Lately it seems that every other person I run into is "launching" their own coaching business. (And they are SMART... because the coaching industry is booming in this "new" economy.) So, how do you choose the right coach for you? |

What Is Personal Branding And How Do you Do It?

Not something I want to do to myself and I don’t think I would let somebody else do it to me either. Now that I have a better understanding of what it is, I want to share with all of you the same things, I came to learn. |

Top 5 Tips for Chasing Rainbows
| |
| Simply put, our discussion was around chasing rainbows. In other words, should you go after those exciting opportunities you are thinking about? Is it worth exerting all that time and energy on something that could very well turn out to evaporate before your eyes?
Business experts and books galore, will warn you about relinquishing control to such temptations, and rightfully so. Countless businesses have folded from a lack of focus and from gambling on a big idea. Yet as entrepreneurs this is usually what drives us! We are always looking for that next "big thing" that can drive our business to exponential growth. Unfortunately in its pursuit, we can find ourselves ignoring our core business and watching not only our "big ideas" disappear into thin air, but our regular income as well.

| Successful women entrepreneurs understand the importance of having a mentor. In fact, developing a portfolio of mentors to meet different aspects of your life, both personally and professionally, is critical! Choosing a mentor is one of the most important decisions you can make as a professional.
Mentors should be those whose work you admire, possess strong leadership abilities, and are an inspiration to you and others. Mentors are experts within a particular field and offer a wealth of experience. They help you through the good and the bad!

How to Turn Around Flat or Declining Sales Revenue

Tips for Being Mentored For Success
| |
| Don't hesitate to ask others to teach you what you want to know-in any area of life. By replicating their methods and attitudes, you'll get similar results. Finding and working with a mentor should be fun, easy, and very productive-you need not fly through life by the seat of your pants.
Select mentors who have successful experience in areas that you don't. You want to capitalize on their strengths and minimize your weaknesses and shortcomings. They must have achieved a high level of success in the same field, endeavor, or area that you are seeking to succeed in. You'll want someone who can challenge you and hold you accountable. You may have several mentors at one time. In fact, I recommend it. If you really think about it, you probably already have several mentors. |

The Special Force of Mentoring
| |
| Having a mentor I an integral part of getting where you want to go and achieving what you want to achieve, as fast as possible, with the fewest mistakes. I consider mentors to be key components of maximizing your Conquering Force.
In your life, you have probably already enjoyed the help of several mentors. For example, you may have had a parent, coach, teacher, or associate who made a major impact on your life. A mentor could even be someone you don't know personally-someone whose philosophy or example touched you so deeply you decided to emulate him or her. In some way, directly or indirectly, these people were there for you. They knew what they were talking about, and they showed you a better way to achieve. |

|
Are You Using The Success Attitude Formula?
| |
| The Success Attitude formula makes achieving your Core Desires simple. We all use this formula to reach our objectives, whether we know it or not. It has been an integral part of my own achievement experience.
The Success Attitude formula shows you how to unlock and open the door of opportunity. Many people have listened to experts or read their books and have been all fired up with that can-do approach. But soon the fire goes out and they never get going, they never take the first step, or they quit too easily. This won't happen when you know your genuine Core Desires and apply the Success Attitude formula. |
|
|
Core Desires Ignite the Conquering Force
| |
| Core Desires are the ignition mechanism for the Conquering Force. This is what a Core Desire can do in your life- ignite the Conquering Force within you. I've taught hundreds of karate students, most of whom indicated they wanted to be black belts, but few of them ever achieved that distinction. Not because they didn't have the ability but because it wasn't a Core Desire. The sooner you identify your Core Desires, the sooner your Conquering Force kicks in. Then, and only then, will you truly have what it takes to achieve at high levels, which is where the greatest joy and happiness can be found. |

4 Leadership Tips for Happy Employees

Information about the social brain is one gift you can give that will keep on giving to your entire staff. What I have found is that once people begin to really understand that behavior does go deeply into the nervous system and create patterns of reaction, there is a shift of responsibility. Once people become pattern aware, it is virtually impossible to revert to old, self-serving behavior. When we realize that what we say and do is registered and remembered in another person's brain, it is almost like a light bulb goes off in our heads. |

How do you think people would react if one day you decided to start acting like a “diva extraordinaire,” or a megastar actor? My guess is that your family might want to have you admitted for observation. Would the ramification be any less serious if you instead decided to imitate your next door neighbor or business mentor? |

Word choice is a vital component of the copy for your marketing, advertising and promotional materials. In fact, your copy can make or break your sales efforts. I always say “copy counts and actually your sales count on your copy.”
The best illustration of how important copy really is was shared by my good friend and mentor Lorrie Morgan-Ferrero. She explains that copy is the DNA of all marketing materials. I have to agree.
Imagine stripping all of your marketing materials of words. How well would your website, brochure, print ads, sales letters, press releases or broadcast scripts work without words?

Moving Procurement Practice Beyond Adjunct Complexity (COUPA Profile)
| |
| “Organizations that already have a technology driven program in place or have just recently implemented one still surprise me with their significant interest in the dramatic changes in procurement methodologies and practices. But rather than focusing learning on new and emerging technologies, today’s procurement professionals seek insights into the actual processes that drive their enterprises. The impetus behind this change is largely the result of the fallout from the consistently high level of e-procurement initiative failures. Industry studies for the period 2001-2005 indicate 75-85% of all programs fail to achieve the promised results. (Editor’s Note: the rate of failure continues today, with some industry pundits suggesting that ERP-centric programs miss the mark as much as 90-95% of the time.) |
