A Road Map For Your Success!!

Hi Guys and Welcome back...........

I hope you all had a Wonderful Christmas.........I certainly did........To much Turkey and Wine and now i'm feeling fat and groggy. Never mind with the New Year round the corner it means a fresh start and more walks and runs along the Beach.......Well maybe!!

This week I want to give you a Road Map for your success.......

Carrot and stick

This is the most traditional method of motivation and the reason that most of us goes to work; the employer pays us money and that is the carrot. However, you don't have to look far to see that research will demonstrate this to be one of the least effective means of motivating people. Give more money and expect people to work harder; it may be a theory, but does it work? Well if you pay people more money to do something they don't really want to do then you will probably simply be encouraging people to find ways to cut corners. Look into the soul and discover what motivates deep down.

Follow the crowd

It is difficult to rebel and easy to accept the intentions of others and just go with the flow. So if there is a general consensus on an issue at work, what is the motivation to be different? It will single you out and make you a focus that you weren't before you voted to be different. Most people go with the flow, either because they are ambivalent or because they simply don't feel strongly enough about the issue. So perhaps your route to self-development and success is by breaking against this mould; but you should be confident of your reasons before you do it.

Genuine Duty

Fulfilling a duty that you genuinely believe in makes us feel good. There is something quite fulfilling about discovering what is right and worth standing up for, and then deciding to 'do the right thing', regardless in some cases of the consequences. Doing the right thing should be recognised by co-workers and employers alike, but again, you should exercise caution when deciding on this course of action. You can be sure of a good night's sleep and a happier outlook if you do follow your sense of duty and do the right thing.

Integrity breeds respect Making the right choice and following your sense of what is right is a fundamental human characteristic that is not unanimous, and it takes effort to develop integrity. With the hard work of developing integrity will come the rewards. Those around you will trust and respect you more for having integrity, trust goes a long way to increasing your self-esteem as well. Following what is right is often the most difficult thing to do, and that is one of the reasons that people will respect you for it. Communication between people who trust each other is out of proportion with those who do not, and it is clear and effective communication that helps us progress as people and in all aspects business.
