Nothing ever Happens to you – Things Happen Because of you

You are all involved in influencing the outcomes you see in your world, whether you believe you are or not. From the moment you wake up every day you are influencing or at least trying to influence the people around you, to conform to meet your needs and expectations. You use many different guiles, to influence people to do things the way you want them done. Whether it be a request from you to your spouse to make you a cup of coffee in the morning, whilst they are busy making one for themselves, or you making a cup of coffee for them, so that they will warm to you in the morning etc.

Who is Really in Charge of Your Future?

Stop acting like a victim any longer and accept 100 % responsibility for everything in your life. Decisions made by government, business and the people around you may have a general effect on your circumstances. They will only have a specific effect on your circumstances if you allow them to.

Decide What You Want, Chances are it wants you Too

Decide what you want, chances are it wants you too. Once you are clear on exactly what you want in your future and you have invested the time and energy to turn that picture into a crystal clear vision for the future and you begin to take action every day to bring this vision to life. You will start to experience one of the most amazing phenomena. The phone may ring and the person on the other side of the line may have positive news about an opportunity you can exploit, an unexpected financial windfall may come your way or some positive benefit may almost miraculously appear.

Dare to Break out of the Herd

We are very quickly moving into the final stretch of 2012. This is not the time to ease up and get into that typical end of year lazy feeling, where we all use those really handy excuses, like we have worked really hard this year or the holiday season is upon us, to justify why we go into cruise mode, for the rest of the year. All the winners I have observed, do exactly the opposite this time of year. They kick into high gear and actually do their best work between now and the end of the year. This is the perfect time to break away from the herd and to shine.

Sales Tips from a Sales Superstar

My wife and I recently found an amazing lifestyle village, where we wanted to stay, so we approached a local estate agent and asked him to sell our current home for us. What astounded me was how quickly he sold it. Within two weeks he had brought about ten qualified buyers through our home and one of them made a very attractive offer, which we accepted. Being a sales trainer, I thought it would be interesting to write an article today, to share my ideas with you, on why I believe he is so successful and why he managed to sell our home so quickly.

Turn Goal Setting, into Goal Achieving

Open your Mind and Think Bigger Than Yourselfr There is a sort of magic found in setting goals. When you set yourself goals in an ever expanding spiral, starting with goals for yourself, your immediate and extended family, your community, city where you live, province or state, your country where you earn most of your money and finally goals for the planet and beyond. You open your mind and you begin to see massive possibility or hidden potential, which would have remained hidden from you, had you not allowed yourself to think beyond your own limited environment.

Turn the right Contacts into Sales ContRacts

There is one letter difference between having a mere contact and then converting that contact into a long term sales contRact. That letter is a massive “R”, which stands for “RELATIONSHIP”. If you want to convert the “Right Contacts” you already know and will get to know, into long term sustainable sales contRacts, then you must invest sufficient time towards developing mutually beneficial long term relationships with them. The only way these Relationships can work in the long term, is if they are based on trust and value.

What price would you be willing to pay, if the promise was a 100 % guarantee, that you could achieve anything you desired? How many hours of your valuable time would you devote to this endeavour? How much energy and resources would you be willing to expend to achieve this magic? For such a promise most people would give almost anything.

My Best Tips to help you Embrace Opportunity in 2013

As we approach the end of another amazing year, I am very keen to see you tu 2013, into your best year ever. So to this end, I am going to be beating the vision, success, planning and goal setting drum a whole lot, until the end of the year. Now is the time to create a positive mind-set, where you orient yourself to constantly be on the lookout for fortuitous situations or circumstances. It is extremely difficult to identify opportunities, when you are not looking for them and impossible, if you do not believe in yourself, your abilities and the potential that any opportunity offers.

We all get Knocked Down – Achievers Don’t Stay Down

Every One Gets Knocked Down at some Pointr The secret to super achievement is to spend as little time as possible licking your wounds when you encounter any of the inevitable challenges on your journey towards success, before you pull things together and get on with life. The measure of who you really are is never in the fact that you got knocked down; everyone gets knocked down at some point, but rather in how long you allow things to keep you down, before you begin taking the positive action necessary to get you back on your feet.

Would Buy what you Sell with Absolute Confidence?

If you are in sales and you have been struggling to meet your sales targets for the past few years. Ask yourself the simple questio “How committed am I to what I am selling, would I buy it myself” In fact a better question would be “Do I believe in what I sell so much that I Have actually bought one myself” I know it is not always practical for the person selling something to have purchased one themselves as this is not always possible. The main question is, do you really believe in what you have to sell to such a degree that you would invest in one yourself?

What picture of possibility do you hold in your mind? Can you see yourself living the life of meaning and fulfilment you desire? Because the picture you hold in your mind today, is what is shaping how your future will unfold, as it is driving your beliefs about what you see as being possible for you. These beliefs are in turn driving your expectations and your expectations are driving your daily actions.

Do you Deserve to be Successful?

I received some really inspiring feedback from a 72 year old gentleman yesterday in which he affirms that, had he just committed to carry out small daily disciplines throughout his life, he would have managed to achieve so much more. He also affirmed that had he focused his energy daily and not spent his life spinning his wheels, “NO-Thing” was beyond his reach. Well the great news for Samuel and everyone else, who reads my daily articles, is that, wherever you are right now and whatever stage you are in your life that is the perfect place to start.

Innovation has become a Requirement for Sustainable Success

We live in an ever changing world. The pace of the change is speeding up every day. The only way to thrive and in many cases even to survive is to constantly innovate, evolve and grow. Your commitment to consistent innovation is what will separate you from the followers and make you a true leader and path finder or trail blazer. You will become an achiever, who will stand out and you will become someone, who sets the standards for performance and achievement. All Progress requires Change – Not all change is Progressr

A genius without a roadmap will get lost in any city, whilst an average person with a clear map, will easily find their way to any location they want to travel to in the city.

Make Our World Better – Become Your Best

I do not know of anyone, who wakes up in the morning with a deep rooted desire to “be” less, “have” less or who wants to “do” less. The only thing people want less of, is frustration, weight on their butts or emotional stress etc. It is a natural tendency for every inhabitant on this planet to want to constantly expand and stretch their world. This expansion spans all areas of our lives and most certainly stretches to include our overall awareness, influence and significance. Common Character Traitsr

Success comes to those who are Willing to Give to Others

One of the best methods you can use to dramatically increase the level of success you currently enjoy, is to start looking beyond your own personal self-interest. Start to look around and explore your world and discover a cause bigger than you. This crucial shift, will see you take a much larger view of your world and allow you to remove the selfish inward view you currently hold and get you to start looking outside yourself. This shift will allow you to move from selfish internal self-interest, to an exte al selfless view of your world.

Are you Happy with everyone in your Inner Circle?

The path towards meaning and fulfilment is far shorter and a lot less lonely, if you surround yourself with the right people. We all have people around us all the time, so instead of allowing them to just randomly appear in your life. Doesn’t it make sense to carefully select your inner circle, so that you can have a very supportive team surrounding you? A team of the right people, whom you can consistently contribute value towards and who in return will contribute great value back to you.

Motivation is never a Solution, It is a Symptom

You can, and never will, find any meaning and fulfilment in your life or business, if you go to a job every day just to make money. A job is something you do whilst in college to help you pay the bills. A vocation on the other hand, is something you do because you enjoy doing it and you feel inspired by the meaning you get from it every day. When your vocation is aligned with your highest values, you will never need any exte al motivation, you will be driven by a flame of inspiration, which burns from within, to carry out all the necessary activities every day.

Search within yourself, explore and listen to your inner self and don’t be too hasty to answer this question with the first thing that comes to mind. I see people all around me all the time, who have incredible skill and ability, yet they remain trapped in unfulfilling lives with little or no meaning at all.

Break Through to Success

I know that movies rarely offer the most profound moments, which are life changing or that offer advice to help you improve your life. There is however one movie moment, which stands out for me, from the movie City Slickers, where the character played by Billy Crystal, explains the secret of life to the other cast members. He explains that the secret of life is one thing and when asked what that one thing is, he explains “That’s what you have to figure out”

What do you Believe You Deserve?

We are all born perfect, with passion, purpose and all the deep rooted flair and confidence we will ever need. This perfection is unfortunately not left to grow and flourish, as it should be. Other people step in and tamper and influence it, until it changes and the perfection and greatness gets lost. This interference eventually causes the perfect human beginning, to doubt themselves, which cause their self-worth to eventually fade and so they no longer believe in their unlimited potential any longer.

Do you Live in a Modality of Fair Exchange?

Build mutually beneficial relationships with as many people as possible and always strive to ensure that there is a level of fair exchange, between all parties. As you build your network over time, actively seek out the right people to connect and build mutually beneficial relations with. Always strive to surprise them, with your generosity, willingness to help and try to exceed their expectations wherever possible. Make a habit of assisting people in your network with new business contacts or leads, with absolutely no expectation of any reciprocation from them at all.

How can you Achieve your Vision?

Can you Turn “NO-THING” into something worthwhile? All the goods and services, which make our lives better every day, started out as simply a thought or an idea in someone’s imagination. Why do those products or services even exist in the first place? How did a simple thought, an idea, transform into something tangible. What separates those ideas and thoughts that enter our heads and then simply disappear, from those thoughts that are acted upon and turned into something tangible and of value?

Firstly remember that anything you pursue will always elude you. So remove the thought of pursuing success from your mind. The way to invite any level of SUCCESS into your experience is by first accepting that “If it is to be then, it is up to me” and adopting this as your new adage. Secondly you must decide what success actually means to you and why achieving it is important to you.

Do you feel like you are spinning your wheels every day, working really hard, yet you feel trapped and unable to make any headway towards achieving your goals and dreams.

There is no easier way to turn a prospect away than arriving unprepared, not knowing anything about them or their business.

You need to be prepared for your meeting by first visiting their website printing out a few strategic pages, reading and making a few notes about their business.
