Waiting for Someday

Waiting for Someday
Why Not Now?

The time we are blessed with is limited and tends to be used up all too quickly. How we utilize that time is consequently one of the most important decisions we make. Yet it is far too easy to put off until tomorrow what we are dreaming of today. The hectic pace of modern existence affords us an easy out; we shelve our aspirations so we can cope more effectively with the challenges of the present, ostensibly to have more time and leisure to realize our purpose in the future. Or we tell ourselves that we will chase our dreams someday once we have accomplished other lesser goals. In truth, it is our fear that keeps us from seeking fulfillment in the here and now because we view failure as a possibility, our reasons for delaying our inevitable success seem sound and rational. If we ask ourselves what we are really waiting for, however, we discover that there is no truly compelling reason why we should put off the pursuit of the dreams that sustain us.

When regarded as a question, "Why not now?" drains us of our power to realize our ambitions. We are so concerned with the notion that we are somehow undeserving of happiness that we cannot see that there is much we can do in the present to begin courting it. Yet when we look decisively at our existence and state, "Why not now, indeed!" we are empowered to begin changing our lives this very moment. We procrastinate for many reasons, from a perceived lack of time to a legitimate lack of self-belief, but the truth of the matter is that there is no time like the present and no time but the present. Whatever we aim to accomplish, we will achieve it more quickly and with a greater degree of efficiency when we seize the day and make the most of the resources we have at our disposal presently.

All the joy, passion, and contentment you can envision can be yours right now, rather than in some far-flung point in time. You need only remind yourself that there is nothing standing between you and fulfillment. If you decide that today is the day you will take your destiny into your hands, you will soon discover that you hold the keys of fate.

What Do You Stand For?

Trust your inner authority.

Published: September 2, 2011

by Iyanla Vanzant

Seeking your deeper purpose in life.

I have discovered that life doesn't actually knock you down. It does, however, provide you with many opportunities to evaluate your standing in life: what you stand on, what you stand for, how you stand within yourself and for yourself. When your standing is weak, you don't get knocked down. You fall down. You trip over the fallacies and fantasies that you have created or inherited.

You slip on your dysfunctional puzzle pieces and your distorted sense of self. Sometimes, if you are lucky, you fall when no one is looking, so you can limp away and lick your wounds privately.

More often than not, though, you fall in front of other people, and your dress flies up over your head, exposing your ripped panties to the spectators who are doing their best not to laugh at you. Those who do not laugh, but rush to help you up, often have no idea that your ego is more bruised than your knees.

As the result of my public fall from television, I discovered that what I was standing on was quicksand. Thank goodness there were two things I could grab on to and pull myself out of the pit.

The first thing I grabbed on to was my unequivocal desire to serve God. The second thing was the love and support of the women in the community in which and through which I served God.

Lydia ran my household. Almasi, Helen, and Deanna kept my business and ministry afloat. Yawfah, Rene, and Vivian kept reminding me that my daughter Gemmia's transition, the dissolution of my marriage, and the shift in my career were not my fault. Shaheerah and Raina told me over and over again that there was something extraordinary that I was being prepared for, and the only thing required of me was to keep my heart open and my mind at peace.

All I was experiencing was teaching me to become fully reliant on my inner authority, the power of God within me. It was a hard pill to swallow. Did my daughter need to die in order for me to become a better person? Did my husband need to reject me and dishonor our commitment so that I could have a greater purpose in life? Wrong questions! The greater, grander, deeper inquires I needed to make of myself were: What am I being asked to practice? What character values am I being asked to embody? What service can I offer the world as a result of the lessons I am learning?

Building a Successful Team

Building a Successful Team by Jim Rohn

Once you've set a goal for yourself as a leader—whether it is to create your own enterprise, energize your organization, build a church, or excel in sports—the challenge is to find good people to help you accomplish that goal. Gathering a successful team of people is not only helpful, it's necessary.

So to guide you in this daunting task of picking the right people, I'm going to share with you a four-part checklist.

Number One: Check each candidate's history. Seek out available information regarding the individual's qualifications to do the job. That's the most obvious step.

Number Two: Check the person's interest level. If they are interested, they are probably a good potential. Sometimes people can fake their interest, but if you've been a leader for a while, you will be a capable judge of whether somebody is merely pretending. Arrange face-to-face conversation, and try to gauge his or her sincerity to the best of your ability. You won't hit the bull's-eye every time, but you can get pretty good at spotting what I call true interest.

Number Three: Check the potential's responses. A response tells you a lot about someone's integrity, character, and skills. Listen for responses like these: "You want me to get there that early?" "You want me to stay that late?" "The break is only ten minutes?" "I'll have to work two evenings a week and Saturdays?" You can't ignore these clues. A person's responses are a good indication of his or her character and of how hard he or she will work. Our attitudes reflect our inner selves, so even if we can fool others for a while, eventually our true selves will emerge.

And Number Four: Check results. The name of the game is results. How else can we effectively judge an individual's performance? The final judge must be results.

There are two types of results to look for. The first is activity results. Specific results are a reflection of an individual's productivity. Sometimes we don't ask for this type of result right away, but it's pretty easy to check activity. If you work for a sales organization and you've asked your new salesman, John, to make ten calls in the first week, it's simple to check his results on Friday. You ask, "John, how many calls did you make?" John says, "Well..." and starts telling a story, making an excuse. You respond, "John, I just need a number from one to ten." If his results that first week are not good, it is a definite sign. You might try another week, but if that lack of precise activity continues, you'll soon realize that John isn't capable of becoming a member of your team.

The second area you need to monitor is productivity. The ultimate test of a quality team is measurable progress in a reasonable amount of time. And here's one of the skills of leadership: Be up front with your team as to what you expect them to produce. Don't let the surprises come later.

When you're following this four-part checklist, your instincts obviously play a major role. And your instincts will improve every time you go through the process. Remember, building a good team will be one of your most challenging tasks as a leader. It will reap you multiple rewards for a long time to come.

Four Parts of Visualization

THANKS TO LYNN LIONHOOD FOR ALWAYS SHARING

 

I demolish my bridges behind me...then there is no choice but to move forward. ~Firdtjof Nansen   Four Parts of Visualization There are four parts of visualization that you can learn and practice to assure that you use this incredible power to its best advantage all the days of your life. How Often? The first aspect of visualization is frequency, the number of times that you visualize a particular goal as achieved of yourself performing in an excellent way in a particular event or circumstance. The more frequently you repeat a clear mental picture of your very best performance or result, the more rapidly it will appear as part of your reality. How Long? The second element of visualization is the duration of the mental image, the length of time that you can hold the picture in your mind each time you replay it. When you deeply relax, you can often hold a mental picture of yourself performing at your best for several seconds, and even several minutes. The longer you can hold your mental picture, the more deeply it will be impressed into your subconscious mind and the more rapidly it will express itself in your subsequent performance. The third element of visualization is vividness. There is a direct relationship between how clearly you can see your desired goal or result in your mind and how quickly it comes into your reality. This element of visualization is what explains the powers of the Law of Attraction and the Law of Correspondence. The vividness of your desire directly determines how quickly it materializes in the world around you. Here is an interesting point. When you set a new goal for yourself, your image or picture of this goal will usually be vague and fuzzy. But the more often you write it, review it, and repeat it mentally, the clearer it becomes for you. Eventually, it will become crystal clear. At that point, the goal will suddenly appear in your world exactly as you imagined it. How Intensely? The fourth element of visualization is intensity, the amount of emotion that you attach to your visual image. In reality, this is the most important and powerful part of the visualization process. Sometimes, if your emotion is intense enough and your visual image is clear enough, your goal will immediately come true. Of course, the elements of frequency, duration, vividness, and intensity can help you or hurt you. Like nature, the power of visualization is neutral. Like a two-edged sword, it can cut in either direction. It can either make you a success or make you a failure. Visualization brings you whatever you vividly and intensely imagine, whether good or bad.

Shedding Light on Ourselves

Shedding Light on Ourselves
Parts that Don't Want to Heal

The important thing to realize is that this very part of us that resists our healing is the part that most needs our attention and love.

In almost every case, we know what is best for us in our lives, from the relationships we create to the food we eat. Still, somewhat mysteriously, it is often difficult to make the right choices for ourselves. We find ourselves hanging out with someone who leaves us feeling drained or choosing to eat fast food over a salad. We go through phases where we stop doing yoga or taking vitamins, even though we feel so much better when we do. Often we have no idea why we continue to make the less enlightened choice, but it is important that we inquire into ourselves to find out.

When we choose that which is not best for us, the truth can be that there is a deep seated part of us that does not want to heal. We may say it's because we don't have the time or the energy or the resources, but the real truth is that when we don't take care of ourselves we are falling prey to self-sabotage. Self-sabotage happens unconsciously, which is why it's so difficult to see that we are doing it. The important thing to realize is that this very part of us that resists our healing is the part that most needs our attention and love. Even as it appears to be working against us, if we can simply bring it into the light of our consciousness, it can become our greatest ally. It carries the information we need to move to the next level in our healing process.

When we recognize that we are not making healthy choices, we might even say out loud, "I am not taking care of myself." Sometimes this is the jolt we need to wake up to what is actually happening. Next we can sit ourselves down in meditation, with a journal, or with a trusted friend to explore the matter more thoroughly. Just shining the light of our awareness on the source of our resistance is sometimes enough to dispel its power. At other times, further effort is required. Either way, we need not fear these parts that do not want to heal. We only need to take them under our wing and bring them with us into the light.

Huffington Post article: Boomers Who Start Businesses: The Next Great Generation Of Entrepreneurs

The increase of boomer startups, according to Lesonsky, has been fueled by the recession, which has created a number of "reluctant entrepreneurs." "Many boomers lost their jobs in the recession," she explains. "While hiring is picking up again, it's not likely boomers are going to get hired. Due to their experience and age, they simply cost employers more to hire, both from a salary and cost-of-benefits perspective."

From Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/09/boomers-who-start-businesses_n_1185394.html

The Rule of +1

The Rule of +1
by Michael S. Clouse

The Rule of +1 states: Any objective can be achieved significantly faster when existing effort is increased by +1. Here are five examples of how you can personally benefit from The Rule of +1:

Awaken +1 Hour Earlier
Gain two additional months of productivity! Start your day 1 additional hour earlier and over the next 365 days you'll add a little more than two full-time work months (365 hours divided by 40 hours per full-time work week = 9.125 weeks; or 2+ bonus working months) to your year!

Make +1 More Contact
Gain 336 more prospects! Generate 2 new contacts per day x 4 days per week = 8 new contacts per week; 32 new contacts per month, or 384 new contacts per year. Now apply The Rule of +1 and watch what happens: Generate 3 new contacts per day x 5 days per week = 15 new contacts per week; 60 new contacts per month, or 720 new contacts per year! Adding those additional 336 new contacts will almost double an entire year's activity!

Read +1 More Page
Gain the extra knowledge you need! Most Network Marketers read 10 pages of a good book every day. Apply The Rule of +1 to that daily routine, by simply reading 1 more page each day, and see how the knowledge, insights, and wisdom gleaned by reading two more personal development books every year helps you more quickly achieve your dreams!

Listen to +1 More CD/MP3
Gain the skills you need—faster! Awaken +1 Hour Earlier and invest that +1 time into your own personal development program. It's true... Most Network Marketers master their prospecting, presenting, and duplicating skills by listening to 30 minutes of a training CD or MP3 every day. However, when you add The Rule of +1 to your daily routine and listen for 60 minutes, you gain an extra 182 hours of pure skills training—enough to repetitiously listen to the Total Success Pack 10 times every year!

Offer +1 More Product
Gain a BIGGER bonus check! Imagine if every order in your organization were to increase by $29, $49, or $99. Run the numbers and discover for yourself the awesome power of The Rule of +1.

Indeed, there are almost endless ways to personally benefit from applying The Rule of +1 in your Network Marketing business and in your life: Make +1 More Follow-Up Call. Return +1 More Email. Invite +1 More Guest. Show The Business +1 More Time. Encourage +1 More Person...

Apply The Rule of +1 and see for yourself how any objective can be achieved significantly faster when existing effort is increased by +1.

All the best,

MSC

Sales Math...

Sales Math...

If you're not earning the income you'd like to earn, ask yourself...

"Am I working like someone who makes $X thousand a year... someone who makes roughly $Y every money hour* of the day?"

Are you valuing your time at that level? If not, who will?

$50,000 = $25 every money hour
$75,000 = $37 every money hour
$100,000 = $50 every money hour (almost $1 a minute)
$120,000 = $60 every money hour ($1 a minute)
$150,000 = $75 every money hour
$200,000 = $100 every money hour
$250,000 = $125 every money hour (more than $2 a minute)

Greater than $250,000 = You probably don't need the reminder. Forward this and help a friend see the light.

*money hours: hours during the salesday where you can talk with prospects and customers
_____

NO FLINTSTONING...

flintstoning (verb): 1. leaving the moment the whistle blows (or before) 2. mentally checking out early 3. sad 4. not SalesTough (what's a flintstone?)

Attractive Attitude

A good attitude can be the key to successfully interacting with people. When you move through your days with an upbeat outlook and serene expression, you'll brighten people's days and inspire them to be more cheerful. You hold the power to be a positive influence in someone's life. People are also naturally attracted to and want to spend time with positive individuals. Often, when you approach others with positive energy, they become more receptive to what you have. Your optimism can compel others to support you in all you do. When people sense your positive attitude, they'll be inclined to want to become a part of your life.

Habits can make or break

H-A-B-I-T...When 95% of people hear this word, a negative thought
pops up in their minds. Typically, most people think of a habit
being negative. The secret to your future lies in your daily
habits so ask yourself right now, "Are my habits today going to
help me achieve my WHY in life?" This is a life-empowering
question if you truly ask it and listen for the answer.

I received the following excerpt from a very dear friend of mine
and felt that it is definitely the best explanation of a habit
that I have ever heard:

I am your constant companion.
I am your greatest helper or your heaviest burden.
I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.
I am completely at your command.
Half the things you do, you might just as well turn over to me,
and I will be able to do them quickly and correctly.
I am easily managed; you must merely be firm with me.
Show me exactly how you want something done, and after a few
lessons I will do it automatically.

I am the servant of all great men.
And, alas, of all failures as well.
Those who are great, I have made great.
Those who are failures, I have made failures.
I am not a machine, though I work with all the precision of a
machine.
Plus, the intelligence of a man.
You may run me for profit, or run me for ruin; it makes no
difference to me.
Take me, train me, be firm with me and I will put the world at
your feet.
Be easy with me, and I will destroy you.
Who am I?

I am a HABIT!

One of my daily habits that is the foundation of my life is
spending 45-60 minutes each and every morning feeding my body
physically by exercising and feeding my mental spirit by reading
or listening to a motivational message. This habit warms me up
for the day ahead. Everyone washes their physical body and feeds
their body every morning, but 95% of people will find an excuse
about why they can not find the "TIME" to invest in a habit of
feeding their MINDS!

This parallels the statistic that 95% of people are dead or dead
broke by the age 65. I consider this particular daily habit of
mine to be the driving force behind my ability to consistently
maintain my intense focus on the journey of success and living a
dream life.

Is it easy all the time? Of course not, but when it becomes a
habit you will do it! If you commit today to begin each morning
warming  yourself up for the day ahead by feeding your mental
spirit, your entire life will change in a positive fashion very
quickly. It is like driving a race car with the emergency brake
on and you try to go ahead, but you can't move. You stay in the
same location with your wheels spinning, burning up, making a lot
of noise, but not going anywhere!

All it takes is to release the brake and you will fly towards
toward your WHY in life!! You need to review what your habits are
and ask yourself Would I recommend MY habits to someone I truly
love and care about? Your entire future lies in your daily habits
positive or negative. You have the most powerful force right now
in your hands, the ability to decide what your habits will begin
to be.

Do It Now

"Do it now! can affect every phase of your life. It can help you do the things you should do but don't feel like doing. It can keep you from procrastinating when an unpleasant duty faces you. But it can also help you do those things that you want to do. It helps you seize those precious moments that, if lost, may never be retrieved."

New Year's Resolutions

By Michael Oliver

I was reading in a magazine recently about the number of people who make resolutions at the beginning of the New Year and never see them through! 

No, this is not about how you can stick to your resolutions! This is about how you can help other people stick to theirs! After all, if the Purpose of a business is to help other people solve their problems, isn't this a great time to find out what those are and offer to help – if it is appropriate to do so? 

For example, what are the things that many people resolve to do? Here are a few … lose weight, exercise, create more income, have a balanced lifestyle, stop smoking, take care of their health, reduce stress, find security, take time off, spend more time with the kids, travel… 

Most of these are Problems or Needs, many of which you have potential solution(s). 

So here is your opportunity to use Natural Selling and 'The Magic and Power of Dialogue' to explore with them the depths of what's behind their decision to make a change… why they want what they want, how they feel about not having it, how they would feel if they did get what they wanted, etc.. This will create within most people an even stronger need to do something.

If you ask the right types of questions at the right time, listen to what they actually want, (not what you think they want), and find out their reasons behind wanting to make a change, you'll help them come to their own natural conclusion. 

Remember! You're doing this for them, not you! So detach from your own needs, concentrate on theirs and in the words of Franz Kafka… you'll have the world rolling "in Ecstasy at your feet."

How Can We Help People Create Their Vision?

By Michael Oliver

In my opinion, a vision is not something we help people create – it's something that they already have. It comes to all of us some time early in life. 

However, most people have hidden their vision inside themselves. Over time, they've smothered it with "protective" layers of beliefs and limitations based on the rough and tumble of their past experiences. 

They have literally "protected" themselves from being open to what life really has to offer, or more importantly, what they have to offer life. 

These self-limiting beliefs are also based on allowing themselves to accept and live the truths and beliefs of others. These include their peers (If you don't join us you're odd)… their parents (Follow your dream son/daughter but play it safe and get a career first)… their institutions (We love creativity here BUT do it our way or else)… their governments (Trust us) and so on. 

Subsequently they go through life in a direction that is usually different from that of their vision. 

The good news is, their vision is still there! All they need is help to find it and rekindle the flame. 

Helping Them Re-Discover Their Vision 

One of the remarkable things about Natural Selling is that you can actually help people rediscover their vision, so that they can see, taste, hear and feel it once again. 

As an aside, there is a lot of talk about helping your team find out their "Why". 

Here's the thing. The best time to help them find their "Why" is before they join, not after! 

By the way, the real "Why" is not about the logical side of things such wanting more money or time or freedom, or even the ability to stay at home and watch their kids grow. The real "Why' is much deeper than that. It's the vision and the subjective reasoning underneath that is unique to each one of us. 

It boils down to living a life of and staying on Purpose – the actualization of "Why am I here?" 

That's why I've always favored the "Natural Selling" approach of communicating with potential partners and customers, (The opposite of the "numbers game"). It gives you the opportunity to grow your business steadily and solidly through understanding how to help others find out what they really want and hold on to that vision. 

If you give them time and space to peel back their "protective" layers and re-discover what is hidden, and allow them to see and feel their real vision, they will literally internally stir and motivate themselves to explore the idea of doing something about it. 

Meantime you automatically create value in yourself and what you represent as you're seen as a person who "understands them". 

And you do all this by taking just a little extra time to have a "Natural Selling" dialogue using the Conversation Framework I explain in my book "How To Sell Network Marketing Without Fear, Anxiety Or Losing Your Friends!" 

By helping others re-create their vision this way, you both gain. They get back on track with their vision and you continue moving toward yours as they look to you for help and explore with open mind your solutions! A real win-win!

Definition Of Wealth

Greetings Dream Builders & Game Changers

 

If you want to be wealthy, you must understand what wealth is. Here is
the best definition of wealth you will ever find. Wealth is "Cash flow
from other sources."

MAKE YOUR MONEY WORK FOR YOU

What this means is that, you are not wealthy just because you earn a
lot of money. You are only wealthy when your money works for you. To
become wealthy, your main job is to acquire money and then put it to
work making more money for you.

ADD VALUE CONTINUALLY

The key to creating wealth is simple. It is called "adding value."
Successful people are those who are always looking for ways to add
value in some way to a person, a company, a product or a service.

DO IT FASTER

Here is an example of adding value: Domino's Pizza. The founders of
Domino's Pizza took a common food, offered by thousands of little
restaurants and added a value to the pizza by delivering it more
rapidly than anyone else. The added value of speed enabled Domino's to
create a billion dollar empire and made the founder of Domino's, Tom
Monahan, one of the richest men in the world.

BUY IT CHEAPER SOMEWHERE ELSE

Another way to add value is to buy something in one place at one
price and then make it available in another place for another price.
For example, buying a product or service manufactured in Europe or
Asia, importing it to the United States and making it available to
people to whom it was not available before, is a way of adding value
for which you can charge a higher price.

IMPROVE THE LIFE OR WORK OF OTHERS

All manufacturing and marketing is based on this principle of added
value. All importation and distribution aims to add value. Performing
a service that enhances the life or work of another person adds value.
A dentist who takes away pain is adding value. An accountant who saves
a client money on taxes is adding or actually creating value. A
salesperson who introduces a new product or service to a customer that
helps that customer in some way is adding value. All financial
success, especially business success, is based on adding value. It is
based on the old saying, "Find a need and fill it."

COMBINE AND RECOMBINE THE ELEMENTS OF VALUE

All successful business is based on someone bringing together the
factors of production, such as labor, capital, raw materials and
management, and creating a product or service that a customer will pay
a price for that is in excess of the cost of producing it.

HOW FORTUNES ARE MADE

Adding value is the way that all fortunes are made. Whenever you see
an opportunity to give people what they want at a price greater than
it costs you to produce that product or service, you see an
opportunity to make a profit, build a business and begin moving toward
financial success. Almost any business or occupation can make you
financially independent if you can find a way to add enough value.

ACTION EXERCISES

Now, here are two actions you can take immediately to add more value
to your time and activities:

First, take the time to be absolutely clear about what it is that
people want and need to improve their lives and work. The more clear
you are about their real needs, the easier it is for you to satisfy
them at a higher level.

Second, look for ways to add value to what you are doing every day in
every way. Never be satisfied with the status quo. One small idea to
add value can be the starting point of a great fortune.

 We all have two choices: We can make a living or we can design a life.~Jim Rohn

Victory is always possible for the person who refuses to stop fighting.

I changed my thinking and I changed my life. I created a vision of how I wanted my life to be and I'm now living my dream. And still my dreams expand. It's all come about because I changed my way of thinking – about me, about life, about relationships. Then I took total responsibility for the transformation. So, just open up your mind to what's possible and what you can achieve.

'If you knew you could you do one thing today that will take you closer to where you want to be, what might you do?'

If I could change my life to be exactly as I want it to be, what would I do differently, right now?

Creating Your Year

Happy New Year Dream Builders & Game Changers!

This little quote seems to give an appropriate context to our goal setting for the coming year. I love the idea of our desires being the longing of our souls. Hope the year already is off to a wonderful start for all of you.

"Your desires and dreams emanate from your heart. They are the longing of your soul. Place more form to these dreams and longings, for in giving them form you can more easily see them as reality, and this will quicken the pace of their realization." © Jack Armstrong 2012
