Let's talk a little bit about refunds. Well, let's start where the process begins, with sales. I want to talk about one of the wisdoms they teach us—that in the business environment, we're all salespeople, but some people have a specific responsibility. Those, of course, are the ones who get rewarded most highly in any organization—the salespeople. And the business owners, who of course are salespeople, even when there is a synergy, a MasterMind, a complimentarity, where everybody does their own particular thing.

The whole subject of managing personal change has largely been the provenance of the worlds of personal development and self improvement. From a change management perspective, and in my own view Professors Robert Kegan and Lisa Laskow Lahey in their latest book: "Immunity to Change - How To Overcome It and Unlock the Potential in Yourself and Your Organization" have addressed one of the cornerstones of successfully leading, managing and surviving change, namely: Organisations

One creative breakthrough can make a giant difference in your ability to contribute, and in your ability to receive the rewards that come with contribution. I'd like to give you a personal example from my own life and affairs. Again, this is metaphorical for you in your own career. If you're a regular listener to the audio articles these print articles are based on, a series that we call the Sub 4Minute Extra Mile, you'll notice that there's a lot of background noise and that they come to you from different places. And sometimes you heard the wind, traffic, people passing by.

Why People Succeed or FailnnParkinson’s Law is one of the best known and the most important laws of money and wealth accumulation. It was developed by English writer C. Northcote Parkinson many years ago and it explains why most people retire poor.nn The Way the Law Works nThis law says that, no matter how much money people earn, they tend to spend the entire amount and a little bit more besides.

They always tell you to expect the unexpected. But you know, even after a while, the unexpected becomes expected—and it's easier to prepare for. When I was a youngster growing up in Texas, we had a problem with scorpions. If you don't know what they are, look it up in the dictionary. They have pinchers, they look like little miniature lobsters, and they have venom. Now, that venom is not fatal—it's not like that of the Brown Recluse spider—but it's the kind of thing that can get you in the night.

My theme today is not the excesses, the extreme greed, the corruption that overextended the American economy and forced the inevitable correction to come. No, it's much simpler, much more important to each of us—and that is the fact that this is normal. Ups and downs, days and nights, winters and summers, positive and negative, front and back, left and right, male/female—pretty normal, yin and yang. I've never seen an economic chart, graph, or indicator that didn't change—and if you can point one out to me, I want to see it.

Issy I’m currently doing some work in the gym with a twelve year-old named Issy. Together we’re working to improve her overall strength, fitness and function. This morning she arrived at the gym with a five-hundred page book – apparently, some light reading while she waited for her appointment with me. She tried to explain to me what it was about but sadly, it was over my head. She also arrived with a good attitude, her mum and her wheelchair. Yep, her wheelchair.rnIssy

Recently I had the privilege of attending a ten day silent meditation retreat at the Vipassana Meditation Center in Massachusetts. Although I have meditated on occasion, I had never done anything like this before so I wasn't sure what to expect. The process was grueling - physically and emotionally - yet the benefits are outstanding. Here are a few lessons I learned from silence. 1. Meditation is a way to release all that is buried in your subconscious and in your body. When

I've got a serious topic for us today. I know you've considered this before, but let's take a thought at it anyway: have you ever really thought about the fact that life offers you one chance? The same as everyone else—one chance. By the way, even if you believe in reinca ation, as I understand it, you still don't have consciousness and awareness of your other lives. One at a time… One chance. When you really think about that for a moment… Wow! Why hold back? Leave your mark.

Let’s talk about getting outside your comfort zone. I have a good friend, Marshall Sylver, who says, "When you've been doing something wrong for so long, doing it the right way is actually what feels uncomfortable." And he's got a solid, rock-on, right-on point. You've got to get outside your comfort zone, because your comfort zone has gotten you where you're at. Now, I know you wouldn't be reading this if you were extremely happy with where you're at, if you didn't want any change.

I'm often asked—and it's a begging question, because I'm out there promoting the concept—"What makes a person exceptional?" The real way to phrase the question, of course, is, "How can I be exceptional, and how can I get ahead in my enterprise, organization, or my own business?" Well, it's ...

Many individuals claim they have found “the secret to success.” But what does that really mean? How do you know which one to believe?

We can learn a lot about each other and ourselves by putting together a jigsaw puzzle. I can still remember the puzzles of my childhood. It was a tradition around the holidays to set one up and work on it a little at a time. We reveled in finding a really hard puzzle for my father who was very good at putting them together. (Now I see his “puzzle skills” had more to do with process, patience, and focus but when I was small it just looked like a magical ability.) Our puzzl

Have you ever organized a birthday party for your six-year-old, served as beer pong captain for your frate ity, taken charge of a department meeting at work, or headed up a sub-committee for the annual Halloween parade in your hometown?

There are so many reasons to why school management systems have become the latest trending tool in the world of education. The biggest reason being the fact that running schools and tution centers isn’t an easy task to do. You need to keep a proper record of how many students you have enrolled in the school, what are the test systems you want to introduce, you need to keep a proper check of your finances and you also need to manage a proper database. So, doing all this can

An Imperfect Science Like any organisation, service, product or concept that has been created by humans, the field of self-help - or as some like to call it, the 'science of self-improvement' - is flawed. No biggie there. Of course it's not perfect because 'we' created it, and it makes complete sense to say that an imperfect creator can't produce perfection. While the ever-expanding world of self-help and all it's associated products, programs, resources and services has serv

If you are like most people, every January you make a few New Year’s Resolutions: “This is the year I am going to. . . lose that extra 10 pounds, finally get organized, stop watching so much television, etc., etc.” But if you are like most people, by the time you get to mid-February (or even earlier) all of your good intentions, dedication, and will power have succumbed to the relentless force of your daily routine. Likewise, every year there are articles from various s

There are two levels of self-motivation: firstly there is the day to day, "task level motivation" of achieving routine activities, and then there is the "big picture level motivation" that is required to get you through situations of significant imposed change that have large and perhaps dramatic impacts on your life. Our focus here is on the self-motivation that is needed to deal with the "big picture" stuff. I am terrified that I will lose it all... Your company is downsizi

The small business entrepreneur typically comes from all walks of life but our focus here today are the internet entrepreneurs with college educations! Being one myself I naturally assumed my educational background had taught me all I needed to know, WRONG! The fact is much of what I've learned to be effective online involves hands on learning and NOT book knowledge! It seems the damn real world refuses to abide by the basic principles college teaches and that even the most e

Jim Rohn is one of the true greats in the motivational field. Let’s take one little quote of his right now, “What we ponder and what we think about sets the course of our life. Any day we wish, we can discipline ourselves to change it all. Any day we wish we can open a book that will open our mind to new knowledge. Any day we wish we can start a new activity. Any day we wish we can start the process of life change. We can do it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year…” Or we can go to our grave never having done it.” What he says is true, any day we wish!

What Are You Waiting For? rnWhat is procrastination? Psychologists define procrastination as the mechanism that we use to cope with the anxiety related to beginning or completing a task or decision. These behaviors that we use to procrastinate are useless, delaying and often even counterproductive. We put off completing a task or making a decision that we find uncomfortable or dislike. We tell to ourselves that we are waiting for that perfect moment, that perfect opportunity.

The holidays are officially over and 2021 is in full swing.

Talent is defined as a “natural aptitude or skill”; which is wrong. Natural aptitudes are those traits that help sustain life. Talents are those aptitudes that one master to make life better.

Protecting your life purpose and potential by Arnold Groenewald So much focus has been placed in recent years on safety in the workplace. In almost every environment it is expected of people to wear the necessary PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) to protect themselves from injury to the eyes, ears, hands, feet, and every other body part including the organs.

Resourcefulness in any economy, in any time, is a very valuable trait. I recently sent an email to a friend of mine I was planning to meet the next day. We were both traveling in to do a conference, and we're helping people in their economic foundations—building business. Of course with me, a lot of it's the philosophy and instilling the philosophy—but the point is, it was just an email. I was just saying, "Hey, I'm looking forward to meeting you tomorrow," because we're both marketers and we've had a relationship by email and phone for a while.

You have control over one person and one person only- YOU. As much as you might desire for another the bottom line is that you can't control, change, or do the work for someone else...it is up to them to do it. Whew...what a relief. It is challenging enough being accountable for your own actions why on earth would you want to divert your energy away from what you can control and spend it where you can't? I am not saying that you shouldn't love, support, and encourage others t

I’m writing this on the veranda overlooking the grounds, lake and woodlands of my ‘away from it all’ place. I’m spending time reading, writing, reflecting... and getting up late. I miss breakfast time but it’s totally worth the joy of not needing to be up at any particular time! And as I write, I’m remembering a recent telephone conversation with a colleague. We were discussing living our respective passions, what stirs us, what enthuses us, what pulls us forward

We cannot live our lives to the full unless we learn the ways to let go of the failures we have made and the disappointments we've encountered and taking them into our future. Past pain, bitte ess, and disappointments are heavy to bear and can drastically influence our mood, attitude, relationships, job, etc. Your self-esteem is corroded by negativity and you will never really have a life that is free from it.

In this world of duality, we all feel different from each other. We meet thousands of people, from so many races, with varying physical conditions, of different ages and contrasting religions.
