In my opinion, belief and success go hand in hand. Without belief I personally feel that success is impossible. Whenever you set out to achieve any goals or any success, believing you CAN do it is THE KEY!!!! Earlier in my life, and especially during my rugby career, there were child hood dreams that I failed to fulfill. You could Belief And Successsay there were a variety of reasons for this, but if I was to be brutally honest, the overriding reason I believe for me coming u

Ten Tips for Successful Presentations Byr Bill Cottringer Successful selling is often preempted by the requirement of giving a formal presentation to convince the customer to go with your product or service. These presentations require some sensible prep work to result in successful sales. Below are ten useful tips to make that happen.

Managing Better Work Performance By Bill Cottringer “Compelling trust is the highest form of human motivation” ~Stephen Covey.

Human beings are creatures of habit. We seek the things we want with the least possible disruption to our lives; hence we tend to resist change. The choice is straightforward - make a positive change for life... or pay the price! As management guru Tom Peters once put it: "Change is disruptive . . . But it doesn't make any difference. You gotta do it anyway. We're in an era where, literally, to learn to love change is the only survival course."

You will be forgiven for wondering what on earth a cookery lesson my wife took me through has anything to do with management, leadership and so on. If you have read some of my articles you will realize that I derive lessons from what I see and experience every day. Indeed I received some coaching from my cookery mentor, my wife. It was worth the time as I now appreciate the fact that a meal does not just happen at the touch of an Emergency SOS button. It calls for time, planning and many other leadership and management aspects I share with you today.

Starting and running your own business has never been an easy road. It is a leap of faith, hope and believing in your dream that it will one day blossom. Building a company is similar to what a farmer goes through. He has time to Prepare the land, Plan the appropriate seed, Plant, Pluck out weeds and hope for big harvest. This is something that keeps the farmer going. Year in year out he/she risks all the seed and finance available because they are convinced that a good harvest is coming someday. As I said implementing your dream is usually riddled with many excuses.

Twenty-five years ago, Robert Fulghum published a simple credo—a credo that became the phenomenal #1 New York Times bestseller All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. Now, seven million copies later, Fulghum returns to the book that was embraced around the world. He has written a new preface and twenty-five essays, which add even more potency to a common, though no less relevant, piece of wisdom: that the most basic aspects of life bear its most important opportunities.

Holiday sales are tempting for all merchants be it online or offline business. Recent, holiday trends indicate rising trends of gift cards purchase among the holiday shoppers. At present, a countdown of Holiday Sales 2017 has started and only a few hours remain to see a spike in traffic. Most of the e-commerce merchants in the USA have taken enough measures to cope with the potential rise in the sales and issues too. In these critical moments, I would not like to dig deeper i

Success comes from the mind that is ready for it but for many of us ‘I would but …’ becomes the cop out and then the excuse department is endless. Failure can have addictive qualities all built from the loop of personal history. When we get good at not achieving we can perfect the art of not achieving. Some of us can make a lifestyle out of repeating the same mistake over and over and over. I have known some of the most successful failures in the world. The addiction to the failed Self is as strong as any addiction there is.

Resumes are essential documents that communicate our past experience, outline our previous accomplishments, and even reveal a portion of our current character. They are so essential that employers, educational institutions, and companies everywhere must require them in order to assess our abilities, compare us against other applicants, and determine which person applying will be the most successful. In fact, resumes are perhaps the greatest indicator of future performance, based upon our past experience.

Everyone is a leader. What differs is the number of people you are leading. By virtue of your existence you are leading someone every day. That person is you. Others choose to increase in leadership when they start leading a family, leading in a company department or at the very top (CEO) or a government ministry, to presidents. At each level of leadership there is a need for situational sensitivity. By this I mean that you need to adjust and be flexible to realize that the way you lead yourself or your family differs to the way you may want to lead a project team.

Ten Best Success Door Openers byr Bill Cottringer “If you really want to do something, you will find a way. If you don’t, you will find an excuse.” ~Jim Rohn. There are lots of ways to find to do something or the excuses if you don’t. In the meantime, here are the best-known door openers to success: 1. Learn, Grow and Improve.

I was shopping for a new tennis racquet in a store in northern Montgomery County, Maryland. It had recently changed hands after the prior owner had declared bankruptcy. The new proprietor greeted me with a hearty “good morning.” I inquired as to the details of the transfer of ownership. He informed me that he acquired the furniture, fixtures and stock from the prior owner for a very reasonable price and assumed the rental commitment. I told him what I did for a living and

Every affiliate marketer needs to look for and use the most effective and the least expensive methods to generate traffic to his or her affiliate website. The concept of affiliate marketing is really profound when you take a close look. Someone offers a product or products for sale. The most cost effective advertising for a merchant is to seek affiliates to offer his or her products on their website.

What To Focus On? Byr Bill Cottringer “Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.” ~Alexander Graham Bell. Regarding the title question, the answer in a word is—NOW. One very popular view of life is that we are all pawns on a chess board being moved around by destiny (or whatever else you wish to call it), just to see what our reactions will be. This is a provocative perspective, but a plausible one.

I've recommended people track their expenses in hundreds of seminars and coaching sessions and I can tell you that I have NEVER met a person who overestimated what they were spending. But I have met plenty of people who overestimate or never really know what they are making, a dangerous oversight since this will give you the attitude, "Of course I can afford that" or "I want that so I should have it." You know, there are only three concrete ways I know of to have more money: 1) make more; 2) save more; and 3) spend less. Not very glamorous is it?

In a time when our economy is failing, business development, marketing, and pr consultants keeps businesses alive. Consultants have been the foundation resource for many individuals and businesses that understand the importance of the information obtained but do not have the budget to hire full-time or part-time employees and feel with the right direction; they can achieve satisfactory results themselves. Most consultants specialize in the field they attained their degrees in, which is a smart decision because consultants are typically generalized as experts.

The majority of personal successes in life are usually accomplished after the individual determines to not give up when they experience a failure. This reality should suggest that dreams and goals are absolutely possible, but most often aren’t achieved because we quit during the ascent up the hill, not realizing the prize is just a few more steps away. Likewise, this truth should also suggest that any dream or goal, in order to be accomplished, most certainly will be accompanied by temporary failures and requires consistent effort.

When we are first taught to study as very young students, we are told that we need to put aside a certain amount of time every day to do our homework. This is something that is most likely an outgrowth of having a limited amount of time due to the fact that children were needed in the fields and only had a certain amount of time to devote to their studies, and this has haunted us ever since. I learned late during my last year of high school, how to approach my studies in a much better way. This new procedure that a friend of mine told me about helped me during my college years.

A traveler meets two bricklayers and asks each what he’s doing. The first mutters, “Working for a buck.” The second proclaims, “Building a school that will educate children for generations.” Both bricklayers are doing the same work, but the work of the second is imbued with more meaning, because ...

Strategy is an approach to managerial leadership – both a state of mind and a bias for relevant action. It's not merely a process to create plans. The days are gone during which attention to strategy could be episodic. At one time, even strongly managed and adroitly led organizations created strategic plans once every three (or even five) years. Those were then placed in a binder, filed in a credenza and reviewed infrequently. As a matter of fact and in days of yore, plan c

Stuck is not a fun place to be. Yet for so many, stuck seems to be a state that is stubbornly present, even defeating in the lives of so many. You know, the web site tweak that just has to be done before you promote, the sales script that needs to have every word perfect before you make the call, the distraction of finding something new to create instead of focusing on the thing that’s in front of you.

I bet you’re frustrated over how to lose weight, stay fit and have great overall health. I mean, you had it all under control not so long ago – attending gym and exercising regularly, the weight training sessions working great, keeping you pumped, motivated and strong.

There is nothing as wasteful as a leader in a position and is ignorant of his/her priorities. I have always shared the notion that in every human being is the craving and desire to lead. Everyone is potentially a leader. However, some are very successful at thwarting and suppressing the leadership potential through various well-crafted excuses. I have discussed some before in another article. Now that you know you are a leader in your team, I need to acquaint you with your priorities.

My brother Rob was diagnosed with cancer one May. By June he had passed away. Initially the situation was one of horror, shock, sadness and anger but as we went through the weeks and as his failing health became more evident, we also realised that anything we needed to talk about would have to be done sooner, rather than later.r

"The man who gets the most satisfactory results is not always the man with the most brilliant single mind, but rather the man who can best coordinate the brains and talents of his associates." — Sir William Alton Jones, 18th Century English Philologist and Jurist

I've lived through an amazing time. At university, the computer they used (just one) was the size of a house, used valves instead of transistors, and was programmed using punch tape. If you made a mistake it printed out random numbers until you, quite literally, pulled the plug out. Wonderful. For my first job I needed a suit, and I had to respond to customer's letters by writing, "I am in receipt of your favour of the 18th ultimo..." Utterly brilliant. It sounds medieval but it's not that long ago.

Any successful corporation has a well-defined vision, one well-known to all of its employees and even its customers. This vision defines the corporation’s aspirations and serves as the guiding principle for all significant future action. Similarly, every individual needs a personal vision. ...

When you take a look at some of the successful people in the world, the money they possess may blind you or the notoriety the public bestows upon them distracts your judgment. At second glance (with the exception of generational money and success), there are certain factors that have contributed to their success and popularity. With almost every successful person, there are common habits that add to their wealth or catapult them into the spotlight. The good news is – you do

People expect information instantly now that the internet has achieve such massive growth. In the past people would post a question on the internet and wait several days for a response. The lag time between looking for information and receiving the information has grown shorter and shorter as the internet has been around longer. Rather than posting a question online these days people simply search to find someone else who asked the same thing and read the answers they receive

You can become and accomplish anything in life! Your successes, greatness, and potential are determined by you alone; and all of the characteristics necessary to achieve your goals and dreams already lie within you. Our success and potential is not determined by talent or ability, knowledge or money, race or gender, or even circumstance or setting – it is created, developed, and determined from within ourselves. Our dreams and goals will be achieved only when we understand and implement the fundamental laws and secrets for success.

Unfortunately most of us pay attention to the wrong things when it comes to happiness and success. We want to believe that success and material gain bring happiness, but more and more studies show that neither financial gain nor winning the next promotion brings lasting happiness. These things exist on the surface of life and work only up to a certain point. What brings true happiness lies far beyond and much deeper. This just makes sense. Yet still many of us run our lives a

It’s quite extraordinary how we can move our focus from crisis to crisis - financial, personal, health, relationships, global. It’s as if there is always one ready and waiting in the wings to trap or ensnare us in this melee we call life. Yet in the midst of it all there is something of a heartfelt condition where we cherish a part of us that is never really touched or can never really have its fire put out. This has to be that soul-felt place where the spark that lights your world will emanate from.

It feels great at the end of a workday to know you've made progress on a mounting to-do list, resolved a persistent problem, dealt with a difficult challenge, or accomplished an important objective. Yet, too often we get to the end of a day and haven't felt feelings of satisfaction, accomplishment, or progress at work, at least not as much as we'd like. Instead, frustration, bureaucracy, and unresponsiveness creep in to thwart our well-being.

Your focus plays a HUGE role in your ability to become a success or for that matter your lack thereof! You see our ability to achieve success is a matter of the quality of effort we are able or willing to put forth! This effort requires that we stay focused to not only be more productive but to also filter out the distractions we encounter! Once we allow ourselves to be distracted then begins a subtle process that leads to our own self destruction in terms of failing to meet

"We must be the change we wish to see in this world." — Mahatma Gandhi, Indian nationalist and spiritual leader who developed the practice of nonviolent disobedience that forced Great Britain to grant independence to India in 1947 I can think of all kinds of ways to change our kids, my associates, my wife Heather, and lots of other people in my life. But that's not the place to start. The place to start is with changing me. The Nobel Prize winning physicist, Albert Einstein

One of my favorite movies is Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. In the movie, Henry Jones Sr., Indiana's father, is a Holy Grail scholar and has been keeping a notebook with clues about the location of the Grail. The Nazis and an unsavory collector want to capture the Holy Grail because of its promise of immortality and invincibility. n The elder Jones Sr. is captured, and his notebook taken by the Nazis. Indiana rescues his father, and they race to prevent the collector and

How do you define success? Is it about wealth? Is it about power? Is it about happiness? Success means something different to every person, like beauty, it exists in the eye of the beholder. It depends on every one of us to determine what success means to us and do something to bring it forth into our lives. The late Zig Ziglar, one of the most respected experts on success and motivation argues in his book Born to Win, that: “Success cannot be defined in one sentence, but i

While there are articles upon articles about search engine optimization, key word placement, search engine marketing, Meta tags, etc., the real issue on the web is not so much about how many hits a web site receives but in how many visitors become clients or customers. Of course, if you are selling a product that requires great numbers of people coming to your site, quantity is more important than quality. But, for the majority of people sharing their services and products on

Yes… I boldly proclaimed… the greatest exercise ever developed. For this claim to be true… lets discuss what the exercise must be able to do. First… it must strengthen each and every muscle in the body…all in one movement…check! Second… it must strengthen and improve the cardiovascular system…check! And last but not least… it must be FUN! Well… I guess it doesn’t have to be fun… but once you experience the results you will most definitely experience the fun. So human nature is kicking in and you are searching your mind for the exact exercise.
