The Elusive “Zone” in Sports

The Terrific Power of Optimism in Sports Success
| |
| Wise old Abe Lincoln described a pessimist as someone who “finds difficulty in every opportunity,” while an optimist is someone who “finds opportunity in every difficulty.” This principle is particularly true in athletics. Much research has shown that athletes and teams that have an optimistic interpretation of their performance (especially after losing) will consistently outperform those who view their performance and losses from a negative, pessimistic perspective. |

Celebrities And Their Three Basic Elements In Advertising Techniques
| |
| In all advertising techniques, the use of celebrities ranks as number one. Three basic qualifiers help the businesses to successfully carry out their purpose. These are Reliability, Appeal, and Competence.
The Reliability is one that makes the consumers believe in the product promoted. The endorser therefore, must be reliable. His reliability as a person should be well established, otherwise, his reliability as a product endorser is dubious. |

How a Top Sales Manager Gets Their Salespeople to Sell More Stuff!
| |
| When do you do your best work? When you feel bad or when you feel good?
The obvious answer is when you feel good. No one feels like doing much of anything when they feel bad. When people don't feel so good, they end up doing very little....not a good situation for you.
So it begs the question: does the salesperson brimming with confidence sell more than the salesperson who lacks confidence? The answer may seem obvious, but why do so few average sales managers spend the majority of their time building their people's confidence up instead of ripping it down?
It could be that many sales managers are former sales salespeople themselves and "seagull sales management" (swoop in, dump on the rep, then fly away), is all they know. In this case, unfortunately, ignorance begets more ignorance...

Are You a Rookie or a Pro?
| |
| In a recent study at Cornell University, it was found that people who are arrogant about what they know are incompetent. In other words incompetent people don’t know that they are incompetent. That also matches a study that found that average and mediocre sales people consider themselves outstanding or peak performers. How come on average, the top 25% of a sales force generates nearly 60% of a company’s actual sales increases?

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. |

Five Steps to Creating a Simple Blog in Less than 30 Minutes
| |
| There are currently millions of blogs on the internet with just a fraction of those commissioned by business owners. There are two benefits to blogging that cannot be overlooked by business owners. The first and most obvious benefit is that your business gets exposure to a potentially huge number of prospects. The second benefit comes in the form of cash from advertisers. As your credibility grows, the number of visitors increases along with the number of clicks to the ads on your page. So how do you start a blog and, more importantly, how do you market it once it's live? |

Living Life On Your Terms
| |
| The keys to achievement, motivation and ultimate success are in your own heart. Find the goals that truly inspire, challenge and excite you, then stay up all night and work all day to achieve your destiny. Success is not something to be chased, it's something to be celebrated by living your own life, on your own terms, every day. |

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.
But that's not exactly true... |

Shared Services Simplified or How Barry Bonds’ Bat Weight Explained GoC Thinking

The Answer was Baseball!
Rather than getting into a complicated dissertation of the differences between an agent-based model versus an equation-based model where the prescribed processes reflect and therefore adapt to stakeholder characteristics and objectives, I tried to think of what I would say to one of my sports fanatic friends. And it hit me, the answer is baseball!

Delegation
| |
| As you step into a leadership role, your job is to get things done through others. But what if they don’t do it correctly? Or they may not get it done on time and now you are still responsible when they mess up. Yes… just like the coach of a sports team, you are putting your future in the hands of others. It can get pretty scary. Sometimes it might seem easier just to do it yourself. And, that’s the trap. It might be safer to do it yourself, but like the sports coach you cannot get it all done by yourself. Delegation (or coaching) is the only answer. |

Live Consultant Thinking: Looking at A Business Coach in the Corporate Strategy
| |
| In most sports, certainly in most sports businesses, the line-up is similar. You have the owners, the general manager, other managers, the head coach, coaching staff, trainers, scouts and recruiters, ticket sellers, and hopefully a roster of all-star players. This alignment of tasks and talents works well most of the time.
With so many great sports business models to learn from, you wonder why we are slow to acknowledge the important role of coach in general business.
