Multiple Skills for the 21st Century

Multiple Skills for the 21st Century
by Jim Rohn

I believe that in the 21st century it is so important to have multiple skills. But what I also find is that if you have an entrepreneurial business (or plan to in the future), you can gain the needed skills for the future while you create your income now.

Here's my short list for on-the-job training, so that you can learn while you earn.

Sales
I began my journey with sales, which, of course, dynamically changed my life at age 25. The first year I multiplied my income by five. Being raised in farm country, I knew how to milk cows, but it didn't pay well. Sales altered the course of my life, where I learned to present a valid product in the marketplace, talk about its virtues and get somebody to say "Yes." Then give them good service.

Recruiting
Then came recruiting, how to expand my business and build an organization. We have all heard the question, is it better to have one person selling a $1,000 or have 100 people selling $10? If you ask me, I'll take the 100 at $10. Once mastered, recruiting, the ability to multiply your efforts, is one of life's and leadership's greatest time-management resources.

Organizing
Then I learned organizing. Keeping your own schedule can be difficult at times, but now you have to balance multiple tasks and people to get maximum results. You will find that the payoff is massive once you have tapped into the synergy and momentum of group dynamics and teamwork.

Promotion
Next is promotion. First it's the spring campaign and then the fall campaign, and then it's this month's objective's campaign. You never know when it's going to click for someone to want or need to buy from you or be a part of what you are doing, so having the offer or the special or the contest going when they're ready can make all the difference.

Recognition
Then it's the recognition. Some people work harder for recognition than they do for money. It's the chance to belong. It's getting people to do something that, ordinarily on their own, they wouldn't think of doing. They could, but they don't think of it. You come along with a little promotion for this month or this quarter and everything changes for them, and I found that paid big money.

Communication
Then I learned communication. How to do the training, how to do the teaching, and probably the greatest gift of all is learning how to inspire with words. Inspire people to see themselves better than they are with all of those gifts, all of those skills. Be the voice that tells them they have made a wise decision and here's why.

Now, I believe with just this little short list I've given you, you'll be equipped. We've all watched what has happened the last 15 years. The guy had one skill; the company downsizes. His division is eliminated and since he only had one skill, now he is vulnerable. He's wandering around saying, "Oh my, the last few years I should have taken some classes that would have taught me a couple of more things and I wouldn't be here in this vulnerable position."

So my admonition: Learn some multiple skills, or should we say, backup skills for the 21st century, and no better place to learn them than in what you're already doing now.

Little Red Engine

Little Red Engine.

Do you remember the story of the caboose that was desperately trying to make it over a very large hill? He kept telling himself repeatedly, I think I can, I think I can. When you start feeling overwhelmed or defeated, tell yourself aloud these same words. While it may seem a little awkward at first, stand in front of a mirror and tell yourself, I think I can, I think I can. You might even change the words to, I know I can!

Seek Input

Seek Input.

Whatever your idea of success, conduct a sanity check throughout the process of reaching your goal. This should be done with someone you trust and who is themselves successful. Ask them to provide honest feedback about your success and as you move through different milestones, bounce concerns or new ideas off them to help keep you on the right track.

The Power of Positive Habits

 
The Power of Positive Habits
By Dan Robey
 
Did you know that habits are incredibly powerful tools for
personal growth and success?
 
Let me ask you a question. When is the last time you made a
conscious decision to add a new habit to your life? If you
are like most people you probably answered...never!
 
The reason for this is that most people only think of habits
as something bad.
 
If you ask ten people on the street what the word habit
means, nine out of ten will tell you that a habit is a
negative action that people do over and over again, like
smoking, or procrastinating, or eating too much. But the
truth is that positive habits hold the keys to success in
virtually everything you do. What are positive habits you
ask.
 
A positive habit is simply a habit that produces positive
benefits, actions and attitudes. Why is there such great
power in positive habits to effect change? Because habits,
by their very nature, are automatic, and after a period of
time they can also become permanent. This is a very powerful
combination.
 
So how do we go about adding new positive habits to our
life? It's really quite easy. You simply begin repeating an
action, attitude or thought process every day for at least
21 days. Research has shown that an action that is repeated
for a minimum of 21 days is likely to become a permanent
habit.
 
Remember that positive habits have positive benefits and you
will reap those benefits for as long as you maintain that
habit.
 
So now that we know what positive habits are, and how to
acquire them, let's look at some simple positive habits for
success.
 
Positive Habit #1 - Make it a habit to set goals
 
Did you know that the most successful people all share the
common positive habit of goal setting? A study was done to
determine the importance of goal setting. College students
who had gone on to achieve great success in business were
asked to list their habits. The students who had made a
habit of setting goals were in the top 3% of earnings in the
population! It is almost impossible to overestimate the
value of goal-setting as a positive habit.
 
Goal setting is simple, yet 97% of the population never do
it. By making goal setting a positive habit, you can start
placing yourself in the top 3% of the population of
successful people.
 
Here are some simple steps to help you start making goal
setting a positive habit:
 
Step 1 Define your goals, write them down, and be very
specific; capture your goals on paper. It is amazing how
many people never take the time to write down exactly what
it is they want in life. Remember, you can't hit a target if
you don't have one.
 
Step 2 Determine what the time line is for reaching your
goals; set specific deadlines for each goal.
 
Step 3 Identify any obstacles that may stand in your way,
list them, and state how you plan to overcome them.
 
Step 4 Make a list of the people and/or organizations who
will help you reach your goals.
 
Positive Habits #2 Be More Productive With the 4-D Habit
 
Many of us are stressed out by the negative effects of work
overload in our careers. The 4-D habit is a very simple
positive habit that will help you to prevent work overload.
Every time you are faced with a new task to perform, apply
the 4 D's as listed below. You will find that your workload
will be reduced as you apply this screening and decision
making tool to each task you are confronted with. Decide on
the most appropriate choice - and take action.
 
Do It Now - take immediate action, do the task right away,
don't procrastinate.
 
Dump It Now - make a quick decision and dump the task.
 
Delegate It - give the task to someone else. This is a very
critical aspect of time management. Your time is valuable;
make it a habit to work on tasks that you do best and
delegate the tasks that can be performed by someone else.
 
Defer the Task - make an immediate decision to postpone the
task to a later time. Make sure to schedule a time to
complete it.
 
Positive Habit #3 Create and repeat positive attitude
phrases
 
A positive attitude is perhaps the most important ingredient
to success and a surefire way to maintain a positive
attitude is to make it a habit to repeat positive attitude
phrases. Choose or create a positive attitude phrase and
repeat it aloud many times each day. In a few days you will
notice that your attitude will become more positive. Here
are some examples:
 
"I am reaching my success goals every day."
"I am getting stronger and stronger every day."
"I can overcome any obstacle."
"Every day I am getting closer and closer to my goals in
life."
"If I believe it , I can achieve it."
"Every day, my mental attitude is becoming more positive."
 
Positive habits can truly change your life, I know from
personal experience. I am now constantly aware of the habits
I have and the new positive habits I am acquiring; I am also
aware of the benefits I am receiving. Positive habits are
now second nature to me and soon they will be second nature
to you.
_____________
Dan Robey is the author of the book "The Power of PositiveHabits"

a new program that shows you how to put your mind
and body on autopilot to reach your goals automatically.

 

 take a moment to remind yourself that the very fact
that you're reading this means you are ahead of the folks
who never do a single thing to improve in the areas they
want to.
 
The investment of time you're making in your own personal
development will pay great dividends for years to come.
Therefore, I commend you for taking your professional
development seriously.

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.

Planning + Commitment = Turning Your Dreams into Reality

Planning Plus Commitment Turns Your Dreams into Reality
By Josh Hinds

If you want to reach your goals, whether personally or
professionally, consider that you have two basic choices.

One, you can either respond as things popup through out your
day, week, or on the fly - or you can make the choice to
plan, and to the best of your ability work the plan you have
laid out for yourself. Whichever you choose -- understand it
is a choice you've made. You're either choosing to be
proactive - or you're choosing to live by chance.

Friend, certainly there will be times where life throws
unexpected challenges your way which may take you off your
plan, but even in such instances where this occurs you will
be much better off if you've taken the time to put into
place a plan to bring you back to where you need to be then
without one.

Make no mistake - having a plan, and the commitment to work
that plan is essential if you wish to succeed in your
endeavors.

It's your life, LIVE BIG!
Josh Hinds
