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.

How To Improve Your Self-Esteem And Think You Are Great!!
Hi Guys.......Well it's not long before Christmas now and I still havn't finished my shopping......Oops! Better hurry and get those last minute bargains! Before I rush out I would like to give you a few tips on building Self-esteem....
Without confidence in yourself and confidence in your abilities to do what is being asked of you, you are going to find it more difficult to achieve success. By building your self-confidence and self-esteem you are making yourself much better prepared for success. There are some simple steps you can follow to help improve your self-esteem.
You, yourself and you
Grab a pencil and some paper and make a list, this is usually the best way to start a task, and this one is no different. The task here is about self-reflection so you should draw a line down the middle and start listing your positive and negative aspects, according to you, not other people. This not an opportunity for you to tackle all the issues you think of that are negative in your life, the emphasis is much more about developing areas of perceived weakness - these are not failings, just areas for development; and remember that if you are no honest then the task is meaningless.
Examine the negatives
Have a careful look at the criticisms you have levelled at yourself and start to develop them in more detail. There will probably be several layers to any perceived area for development and rarely will they be clear cut, or you would have solved them by now. So for example, if you think you are a bad timekeeper, ask why this is? It may be because you are easily distracted and have difficulties focussing on one task at a time.
Go away and come back again
Leave the list for a few days and come back to it later, you will see it in a whole new light, and bear in mind of course that this list could be redirecting your future, so it is important that you don't commit to it in one sitting. When you come back to it a few days later, look at it in the light of characteristics that you could develop personally and simply by changing the way you do things. Carefully examine what you considered to be negatives a few days ago and either reduce or expand on them, but with a fresh perspective.
Opposites are natural
Look at both sides of the list, where you have one issue for personal development growth, you may have an obvious negative, this is perfectly natural and in fact you should expect your characteristics to trade off against one another.
Life's not black and white What you may at first think to be a positive or negative trait may be the opposite in a different given situation. So if you are seeking success in a negotiation being hard-nosed and stubborn may be beneficial with one client, but not with another. So do not be too concerned about negatives always being black and white. Being laid back means less stress, but perhaps you miss deadlines as a result, each angle could be greyer than you think, and it is in finding the balance in different situations that you will begin to maximise your potential.

How To Avoid Stress When Focusing On Your Goals!!
Today its now more important than ever to manage Stress so that we don't get burned out and become ill. Stress is called "The Silent Killer" and in its extreme form can be deadly!! Here a just a few ways to cope with stress if you feel you are getting bogged down at work ........
Workplace stress
In many ways this is the hardest type of stress to avoid, you may be working towards unachievable deadlines with a boss who doesn't seem to care, you may be influenced by factors outside your control, the financial markets have crashed and you have lost your client money through no fault of your own - these are all familiar tales. In many cases, workplace stress cannot be avoided, but it can be managed and minimised, and through these techniques you will build confidence and increase your chances of success.
One task - properly
Wherever possible work on one task at a time and see it through to the end. Mixing and matching lots of tasks all at the same time, and not being satisfied with any of them holistically is a bad thing. Maintain control of your workload by setting realistic goals and making sure you achieve them. Completing 50% of everything will not be appreciated by colleagues as much as doing a really good job on 100% of others just be very selective in the process of what you prioritise.
Deflect distractions, focus on achievement
Work colleagues who claim they have no time to do anything all day may be because they seem to spend all day chewing the fat with co-workers and not concentrating on the task at hand. People constantly asking for a quick minute or two are a distraction that will make you lose concentration and increase your stress levels. "No" is not a rude word, at times it may be necessary, or at least, 'not right now', just so you can complete the task at hand.
Have some fun
There is usually room for humour in most working activities, avoid this advice if you are work in a funeral director's or doctor's surgery but in most offices, a polite joke can relieve a stressful situation. You shouldn't make jokes at other people's expense but just a smile and a light hearted comment can go a long way sometimes. Many office workers will use little stress management tools on their desks, such as a squeezy ball, or they may just do a few stretches. All of this will lead to you feeling better about yourself at work, and this is all you need to be on that illusive path to achieving greater success.
The environment Is the working environment adding to the stress levels or reducing it? Relaxing piped music may be pleasant for some, but might drive other people completely nuts! Are the chairs in the right place to get natural light, is there too much noise? If you can make the working environment more pleasant then you will be in a better frame of mind to achieve the goals you have set for yourself.
Take some time out
Sometimes referred to as a "Hamlet" moment (from the cigar advertisements of years ago), even in the most stressful of situations you can go out of the room, take a big breath of fresh air and return reinvigorated a few minutes or seconds later. This kind of small break will often help you to add some perspective to the situation and make you realise that it is not as dramatic as you had at first thought

How To Set Realistic And Achievable Goals Whatever Your Age Is!!
Set good goals
There is little or no point in setting goals that you simply cannot achieve, you may never run the 100 metres in under 11 seconds, but you might lose the 5 pounds you are trying to! The beauty about setting goals is that you can se short, medium and long term goals for everything in life. Lose weight; develop a management vision for the company by Christmas, get fitter, earn more money, cut back on hours in the office, and so the list goes on. If you are interested in personal growth then the goals have to be achievable and they have to be measurable, otherwise you really won't be able to tell if you have achieved them or not.
Prioritise
The very fact that you can set goals for everything means that you might be too tough on yourself; you cannot improve everything about your life in one go, in one day or week. These things take careful consideration and planning, so make a list. Make the number one item on the list the most important and work your way down until you get to ten. Don't make the list too long or you will be setting yourself up for failure, and that in turn will damage your confidence. These lists are there not to put you under undue pressure, but to make you feel successful when you achieve them, it is a positive perspective that will get you through this
Detail
Not only must the goals be realistic, achievable and measurable, they should also be detailed, as this will help you improve your life and success in realising your dreams. So if the goal is simply to get fitter, then you need to identify how you will do that. Join a fitness club, but decide when you will be able to go (don't say 5 times a week if you know you can only do 3!).
Help along the way
Remember that the road to success is a road, a journey, not a moment, so you will need motivation along the way. If the milestone is time related then set intermediate points in time that will assist you in confirming that you are well on track to achieving your personal development goal. You would not want to work towards a weight loss limit over a period of several months and wait until the very last minute to weigh yourself; you need to keep a chart of the progress along the way. The same rules apply to other goals too.
Action
You have set the conditions for success, you have planned, charted, organised - but now is the time to act. You will only grow spiritually and personally towards becoming more successful through action. Nothing ever got done by simply talking about it, someone always has to put that plan into action, and if it is yourself that you are developing then no-one else can do that for you - just yourself. Many people can help, but only you can make it happen

How to Fulfill Your True Potential and Achieve Your Goals!
Hi Guys.......Today I would like to talk to you about fulfilling your Dreams.......
Set goals
Setting goals is the start of your road to success, without realistic and achievable goals, you won't get very far. Here you can investigate some tools that will help you better explore and improve your self confidence and really see your own personal growth.
Listen
This is the most under-developed skill in either relationships at home or at work. Listening is all too often a passive experience whereby you only take away what you want rather than what the other person wants you to. By developing your ability to listen carefully and attentively you will increased your own chances of meeting personal goals, you will also realise other people's. Listen and do not interrupt, and that way you can begin to earn the respect of others as they feel valued when talking to you. Interpret their wishes carefully and they will see the improvements in no time.
Little tokens
It is the often the small things in life that count, the tokens of appreciation and kindness. When you have listened carefully to someone and they happen to have told you that it was their wife's Birthday over the weekend, make a note of it and send a card the next year; the impact this will have will be huge. When someone mentions that their daughter has a cold, make a mental or physical note and ask them in a few days if the child is better. This costs nothing and is human instinct that does not come naturally to everyone, so nurture it and personal spiritual growth will follow, which is usually linked to success.
Measure success
In order to have achievable goals you have to be able to see and feel what you have achieved. A feel good goal is much more difficult to satisfy, so set a mark in the sand. When you reach a certain date on the calendar and you know you should have achieved a project timeline, or made a certain amount of profit, make sure you measure your progress against that milestone. Remember that you won't always succeed and failure is very much a part of the road to success, you will experience blips along the way, but as long as you are still achieving your objectives then you know you are on track.
Be positive
It is too easy to be critical and become a 'no' person rather than a 'yes' person. Always try to see the positive in people and in what they are doing, and this will not usually be easy. Some people are difficult, but if you can get past that and see the positive side of their motivations or personality then it will shine through in your approach to working and personal relationships. Misery is unhealthy, happiness rubs off on everyone around you, so spread the joy! There are plenty of statistics about the good a healthy smile can do to an atmosphere and many people simply do not smile enough. Smiles ease tensions and create a positive, successful mood.

How to Organize Your Life Better by Using Time Management Skills.
Hi Guys........Today I would like to talk to you about organizing your time better and being more productive by using a concept called "Time Management"
Time Management
How often have you herd someone say that they don't have enough time to do something, that they are too busy and that there are not enough hours in the day? Time management is the key to improving success in your life, and with success will come increased self confidence and a general feeling that your development is aligned with your personal improvement goals. Here are a few tips that you may not have tried yet. Do tasks more thoroughly but less often. If you have to send a report every week and it takes a long time, would it be more efficient to send it every two weeks and just make it that little more detailed? It probably wouldn't take twice as long. Take a look at the clock and commit yourself to having something completed by a certain time, and make sure you meet the goal. Some tasks are only small and don't take long. Look closely at how many spare 15 minute periods you have in your day, and consciously use some of those to take care of the little tasks rather than building them all up and having more to do in one go. Don't work on tasks endlessly. If the task at hand seems to big to get started, commit yourself to only doing it for 15 or 20 minutes and see how much you can get done. Then come back to it later and try to improve on the work you did previously.
Small stages of development
Success and personal growth and development will not and usually can not be an instant result. It is a process, a journey that should be savoured and no endured. If you examine all the different aspects of your working and personal life and see areas that you think could be altered for the better, then try to make small improvements. Just one notch of improvement can go a long way to making the 'whole' better. There is usually room for improvement even to a small degree in almost everything we do, so look closely and make that small change. Spend 10 minutes each day focussing one thing that interests you and don't be distracted by anything else; soon enough you will be a complete expert on that one thing. This is a sure fire way to develop your personal self confidence, through acquiring knowledge and experience. If you can spend one hour each week studying in your chosen profession or skill you will see a notable difference over a month or two. It is not dissimilar to exercise, when you go for your first run, the next few runs are all painful and the progress is frustratingly slow, but after a few months the small increments of training pull together and the end result is huge. If you can dedicate the last minutes of each day to planning the next day, you will find that not only do things run more smoothly the next day, but that you will fee more confident in what you are doing at work.

How To Focus Your Mind For Success!!
Hi Guys and welcome back!
Today I would like to help you learn how to focus your Mind to help you improve your success in every aspect of your life.
Success
Success is what everyone wants, but how can you get it. There are three key strategies to ensure your road to success. You first need to acknowledge that as the cliché states, 'Success doesn't happen overnight." Success is a process and not a singular event in time, so you must embrace the journey of discovery that is the finding your own personal recipe for success, success is something that once you think you have obtained, you can go on developing, so it is also not a destination. Success is about growing as a person, so you need to go through that process, which may take time and patience. Acquiring skills and traits that attract success is part of the process and expanding your skills base will only lead to personal and even spiritual growth. Prepare yourself for success. You must be ready to travel the road. As long you recognise that it is a process then you can better adjust for disappointments along the way, which there will be. But once you start seeing the benefits of your personal investment, you will recognise that you are starting to success in attaining your goals.
Leadership
By fine tuning your leadership skills you stand a significantly increased chance of achieving tangible success in the workplace. Here are a few tips on how to improve your personal leadership attributes. There are always lessons to be learned from every situation, and if you can focus on those learned form previous experiences the next time something happens, then your personal performance will improve each time. Sharpen the performance of your people. People are the most important part of any organisation and time spent maximising their potential is time that is rarely wasted. An employee who feels valued will work harder for you and the company. Clear communication is the key to maximising time and performance. If people know what you want then they will deliver a better produce, mixed messages make for an unpleasant atmosphere is uncertainty. Clearer communication will improve the self-confidence of those around you to perform better.
Attraction is important
If you want other people, employees and clients, to like you, then you have to begin to like yourself first. Being liked is important no matter what you think. You are less likely to get the contract if they people on the other side of the desk don't like you. This does not mean pander to them and appear weak, it means being genuinely self-confident in your reflections on your own self. The key to success here is reading the other people and treating them as you would like to be treated yourself. As you build self confidence in this area, you will see your success increasing proportionally. Don't think that all people will like you, all of the time, this simply won't happen. If someone appears not to like you, it may have nothing to do with you as a person; it may merely be a misconception of the environment you are working in. Focus on the positives and make them work for you.
Today I would like to help you learn how to focus your Mind to help you improve your success in every aspect of your life.

Success is about growing as a person, so you need to go through that process, which may take time and patience. Acquiring skills and traits that attract success is part of the process and expanding your skills base will only lead to personal and even spiritual growth. Prepare yourself for success. You must be ready to travel the road. As long you recognise that it is a process then you can better adjust for disappointments along the way, which there will be. But once you start seeing the benefits of your personal investment, you will recognise that you are starting to success in attaining your goals.
Leadership
By fine tuning your leadership skills you stand a significantly increased chance of achieving tangible success in the workplace. Here are a few tips on how to improve your personal leadership attributes. There are always lessons to be learned from every situation, and if you can focus on those learned form previous experiences the next time something happens, then your personal performance will improve each time. Sharpen the performance of your people. People are the most important part of any organisation and time spent maximising their potential is time that is rarely wasted. An employee who feels valued will work harder for you and the company. Clear communication is the key to maximising time and performance. If people know what you want then they will deliver a better produce, mixed messages make for an unpleasant atmosphere is uncertainty. Clearer communication will improve the self-confidence of those around you to perform better.
Attraction is important
If you want other people, employees and clients, to like you, then you have to begin to like yourself first. Being liked is important no matter what you think. You are less likely to get the contract if they people on the other side of the desk don't like you. This does not mean pander to them and appear weak, it means being genuinely self-confident in your reflections on your own self. The key to success here is reading the other people and treating them as you would like to be treated yourself. As you build self confidence in this area, you will see your success increasing proportionally. Don't think that all people will like you, all of the time, this simply won't happen. If someone appears not to like you, it may have nothing to do with you as a person; it may merely be a misconception of the environment you are working in. Focus on the positives and make them work for you.
How to Develop Your Vision, Develop Yourself!!
Hi Guys and welcome back,
Today I would like to talk to you about developing your "Mind Vision" and how it can be used to strengthen you.
How do you start?
The first goal in developing yourself in to identify the areas where you believe you may have a need for growth; and everyone has room for personal growth in some areas. It would be a mistake to think that you have failings that is not the same as reflecting on areas of your personal and professional life that could be developed, it is all a part of learning and a step on the pyramid of success. So sit down with a piece of paper and write down areas that you think you lack confidence and those will be the areas you can focus on.
Self-confidence and knowledge
Often in life and in work, people may lack self confidence in a given area, and this is perfectly natural and in many cases healthy. Over confidence can be dangerous for relationships and in the workplace. Self confidence grows with increased knowledge. Many entrepreneur success stories are borne out of individuals really doing detailed research about a subject or profession and becoming entirely comfortable with that aspect of their lives, and through that knowledge they gain confidence. This is not a recipe for guaranteed success, but it is the base line and working hard and finding out as much as you can about your profession or skill can never be a bad thing. Success rarely arrives at the doorstep of those who are not willing to work for it, so knuckle down and use this as a tip for success.
Expectations and actions
Stress and unmet expectations are causes for real concern in the process of self-development, which is where we can introduce the concept of the Golden Rule. The Golden Rule states that you should "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." In basic terms, treat other people as you would like to be treated by them and you should be a generally happier and more fulfilled individual. This does involve you becoming more involved with people you interact with in the workplace. Difficulties in developing inter-personal relationships in the workplace can be barriers to success, so if you think that may apply, identify it in detail and start to rectify the situation; gain confidence in your inter-personal relationships at work and start seeing the increased success that follows.
Happiness and self-esteem
The western world has long since accepted that there is a developed relationship between happiness and self-esteem, so one without the other is difficult to achieve. The process of developing this psychology of improvement of these critical areas is worth examining on a personal level. Self esteem can be gained through a number of avenues; perhaps you need to dress for success, put on a new suit and feel the part, gaining increased self confidence in the process. Perhaps being better qualified is your route to success and happiness through better self esteem, get on a training course and gain a qualification relative to your work.
You can't buy success - but it may help!
There is a whole market out there for self-improvement books, personal growth reviews and spiritual growth workshops. Investing in any of these avenues could prove really worthwhile for you. Contact a mentor, try out a workshop, find out that there are other people out there striving to achieve their self-development goals too.
