Conditioning Yourself for Success

I heard a story of a young boy that was doing badly at school. The school was able to invest in computers and from that day on this young boy improved dramatically in all areas of his education, when asked how did he do it he said that his computer calls him Malcolm but his friends called him "Stupid"
I have been writing my blog for some years now and without repeating myself I see so many people just going down life's path with their dreams buried or pushed into the background. The worst thing about that is they don't even know any better, a conditioning thing I guess, I wonder how many times they might have been told they were stupid or that they would not amount to anything more than..... or they would end up in jail or they where just a mean child, finally they could never do anything good. Yes it is the words we speak that are very powerful and to a child we give their direction and instructions with those words. On average by the time a child is an adult they are told up to 17000 times what they are going to be, are we careful on what we are instructing our children to be?
With our future in our hands it is now your chance to change that direction. How do you talk to yourself, are you conditioning yourself to succeed when opportunity comes your way, what are the words that ring in your ear, is it positive, I hope so. You are responsible for your thinking which will get you what you desire and deserve.

The Learning Curve

Like many people I have shared interesting situations and been very happy to learn from others. I am where I am from the choices I have made, some good and some not so good but through all these years I am happy to say I have no regrets, yes I could have done it better but without failing how can you measure success. How do you know when you are really having a great day unless you have experienced a not so good day. It is not the situation you are in it how you deal with the experience. Children learn constantly then something starts to happen as they grow older, as a juvenile they know it all, then comes a period of awakening, it sometimes takes many years but finally you get to know that you don't know all that much and finally you get to the stage when you know that you know that you do not know anything of any great significance. An old saying "a Jack of all trades and a master of none"
My message is simple, enjoy the fact that you have the rest of your life to have some fantastic experiences and search for them, you can design your future with a plan. Some may say but ..........
Yes a BUTT is what you sit on, so get off it and have a great life, become the master of your destiny whatever that direction is.
I look forward to sharing some new directions we have taken, but for now it is all about you.

Changing Peoples Mindset

Sir Richard Branson and Al Gore have offered millions to clean up the mess we are in BUT commercial interests are the players and how much time have we got to waste while our environment continues to be polluted. Here is a way individuals, you and I and the company's we work for or run, can do our part, you may not use this product, that is OK but do something to change that, send this article and links to your friends, do your investigation but for my buck I am passionate about the product on my transport Blogsite, I know it works and how much good it can do, I am in boots and all. A famous gentleman once said, "I was so impressed with the product that I bought the company."
I have always wondered how people react to situations. Now if I was to post an article that would ask for a hand out I might get some result and or some donations for my time but if I am prepared to invest effort and teaching that could bring some benefit to the environment plus generate a financial return, then that is questionable or commercial.
Bottom line, my first step is, am looking for 10,000 people to change the way they look at using fossil fuels. Then in that exchange someone has to buy something so that a change can happen, now out of the exchange there are clear winners,
No1 the Environment,
No2 the Consumer,
No3 the Promoter.
What comes first is what is most IMPORTANT because all the money in the world can't do anything if we don't have a world to enjoy.

So now it's your call, how is your mindset now?

Who Likes Change

It is incredible how time just evaporates but I am back, that is if you would like more. As part of my commitment to my blog readers I would like to maintain this blog with new posts as many times as possible, although my past posts are things I have learnt on my journey thus far and could benefit anyone if they are prepared to take it and do something with it. My new posts will be informative and have some business tips on making money in direct marketing, If your interest is to get more info, that is fine just sent me a email and I am happy to respond.

Yes "Change" this year is the year of big changes, some welcomed and some not, have we got the power to stop change? Well it like time itself, it will happen. The answer is what you do with the change, how do you create more out of change to gain momentum. A great little saying goes like this "Build momentum by accumulating small successes" So now to look at change from a different prospective what success can you develop from the change.

It is now is up to you because you and only you know what it is you want, use change to your advantage develop a whole new momentum and pile on as many successes as you can. As you continue on your journey some will be still see change as a liability not an asset and they will become more caught up in asking "WHY ME" instead of "WHY NOT"

Good luck this year, remember LUCK stands for Labouring Under Correct Knowledge.

The more I learn the luckier I get.

Growth

The act, process, or manner of growing; development; gradual increase. OR you can be a morbid mass of tissue.
As humans we have a choice;
Understanding the Process of growth over a period of time is one of the many steps in applying the principals of personal development. Real leaders invest in themselves first before they can invest in others.
Knowledge of the task at hand, information and solid support is vital to success of any project, it must be worth your investment in time and resources. The sure fire formula for success is a DREAM + OPPORTUNITY + EFFORT= SUCCESS but this is in general terms, lets break it down into achievable chunks.
Starting with the GOAL. Unless you attach an emotional link to your goal it would be always vulnerable to the winds of change, that is the minute you set off on any goal tests seem to start happening, this could be the form of negative information or negative people, financial struggles, health challenges with yourself or family or with your team members. Remember goals are just stepping stones to your dream, so let's not get all protective about dreams as the biggest entrepreneurs are the biggest dreamers and the way to see those dreams come true is to continue achieving goals set to a time frame with a action plan that moves towards that dream.
With the goal set in concrete without interference from any source, only then can the journey begin. Staying focused but not blind to real issues is a balance that not many people can achieve as it will take strong vision and persistence to break down barriers that will take you into uncharted waters. I call these barriers, membranes of growth, they can be vital in supporting the concept but restrictive in fast development and expansion, you can stretch them a little allowing you to go so far and at the same time holding you back from the next great leap in developing the future. Applying pressure to break through is vital and when you do move on, the process can give you many rewards like satisfaction and experience. So pressure can be good provided it is not stress, working under pressure develops performance but stress can fracture and destroy.
In my next post we will work on the ten average reasons that most people put pressure on themselves.

Extraordinary

To be beyond what is ordinary, to be exceptional, unusual; remarkable. All these qualities can describe someone's decision to go beyond average, it is acceptable to be average because you are in the majority otherwise there would not be an "average" but is that acceptable to you? People that I see as extraordinary have invested a little extra than the average and with constant and persistent effort they have risen to levels of success that all people admire. They started the same as everyone out there, except for CHOICE.
We are the designers of our future, so have faith in your design, with commitment to your vision protect yourself from situations that challenge everything you set out to accomplish, DO THE EXTRA. Have you ever noticed that when you are excited by a concept or project the stumbling blocks seem to appear from nowhere, suddenly something so simple becomes caught up what can go wrong not what can go right.
You are in battle mode now, unless you generate the extra that propels you into another space you could stay bogged down with unnecessary time wasting issues that in time will gain strength to bring you down to average.

Compound Effect

Developing anything of value requires one's understanding of investment, the process of compounding any benefit is in the re-investment of that return. Take a financial example, in 1943 Anne Scheiber retired from the IRS where she worked as an auditor until she was 51 years old. Her income at retirement was $3150 per annum yet at her passing she left an estate worth 22 million dollars. Frugal in her lifestyle Anne Scheiber understood the effect of compounding the return from her investments in the stock market, she had been there for the long haul without taking the profit and spending it. She died at the age of 101 and had managed to amass a huge fortune but the price she paid was she missed out on lifestyle. It is hard to have both without risking the very investment required to bring in the return, that is the trap most people find with wanting the material comforts verses the economic comfort. How can you apply this lesson to your current situation, well the secret is to understand that you invest yourself DAILY compounding your SKILLS, collecting and developing your emotional strength, building your vision, discipline your attitude and care about people, with this you will emerge with a tag of leadership creating momentum towards a tangible result in any field you apply yourself at.

Success is compounding your knowledge and experience to understand what you know and what you don't know. This is the competence that will make you highly effective and respected. If you are in it for the long haul then the sooner you start the better.
