E in Breakthrough equals Energized

Today part three of the twelve part series on learning how to Breakthrough to the Next Level.

E in Breakthrough equals Energize

Energize is key for getting started in the first place. Then, you carry forward and take on every breakthrough in your life.

Energy comes from passion. When you are passionate about a project, task, job or goal, an new level of energy engages your mind, body and spirit. I have seen this happen to people literally overnight. Once the passion enters the picture, the energy to achieve it comes next.

Have you ever noticed the people working around you? Watch for signs relative to their energy levels, posture, demeanor and focus. By watching these factors you can easily tell if a person has the passion to achieve new breakthroughs. Continue reading ‘E in Breakthrough equals Energized’ »

R in Breakthrough equals Responsibility

Part two of the twelve part series on learning how to Breakthrough to the Next Level.

R in Breakthrough equals Responsibility

Responsibility is at the core for every breakthrough and success in your life. Without this valuable trait, any path would get you to someone Else’s goal or objective.

Some people are still asking about the word responsibility and what does it mean? In fact, if you use the dictionary to get the definition – you get one of those circular definitions – Responsibility – the act of being responsible. Confused? Yes.

B in Breakthrough equals Belief

Today begins the twelve part series on learning how to Breakthrough to the Next Level.

B in Breakthrough equals Belief

Belief is the starting point for every breakthrough in your life. It is this simple – if you believe it will probably happen. If you do not believe, it probably will not happen. No rocket science here, just necessary soft skill that leads directly to hard results.

Time to BREAKTHROUGH to the Next Level

As most of you know, our corporate slogan is…

Getting You to the Next Level.

Yet, while we are in our 22nd year of doing this, the current economic environment has had a major impact upon our business, our clients business and upon the lives of the great people we have worked with during the years.

Beware of Averages – Especially with Benchmarks

I ran across a situation recently that made me scratch my head. A very smart group of managers were discussing their newly discovered “benchmark” for a particular classification of job. While I do get excited about gaining insight through the use of matrix, I was disappointed in the overall effort or structure they used to develop their “benchmark.”

Here was their system or process for developing a broad benchmark for a job position. Seems they took a number of people who had been selected as “top performers” and then ran some assessments on this group, averaged the data across the group and decided the data from the average was good for a usable benchmark.

Well, this plan had several major flaws and will probably get them in trouble legally with the EEOC and other watchdog agencies. Here is a list of the flaws I found in their system… Continue reading ‘Beware of Averages – Especially with Benchmarks’ »

Okay, a little self promotion today as we begin the three day journey of the Phoenix Seminar here in Memphis today. My only serious question for you is “Why aren’t you here today for the session?”

This is the primer personal development workshop that is based upon universal truths on achievement and succeeding in life. Since 1988, we have been offering this outstanding course here in Memphis and it continues to bring people in across the country. Why? Because it works! It is really that simple. From completely changing some people’s lives to just fine-tuning a person’s inner drive for success.

If you want to learn more about this outstanding workshop on success and achievement go to our website dedicated to it – Phoenix Seminar.com. You will find a couple of videos to enlighten you about the results you can find. The first video is from the creator of the Phoenix Seminar – Brian Tracy. He shares the holistic and balanced approach of the three day process.

The second video has the executive team from a Chemical Company in the Northeast that recognized the power of the process and offered the workshop to their entire organization. (One of several organizations that decided this one seminar could provide a competitive advantage from motivated employees.) You will hear from the CEO, VP of Sales, VP of Operations, VP of Human Resources and they will tell you the many benefits they received from having their entire team participate.

If you want to regain the winners edge or kick start the inner drive for success, check out this process and get the answers to this question – How to Succeed in Life? The answers are here, are you? Watch the site for the posting of the next session in 2010.
