As an entrepreneur, I am continuously thinking that if I can make it to tomorrow or the weekend I can catch up and possibly get ahead. GEEZ! What a pipe dream! Plus, I thought I was the only one who had this issue hanging around to bug me while attempting to put structure and order into my day.

Well, I began to listen to my corporate brethren who were saying the same thing – sometimes with even greater intensity. I heard about the 200 plus emails and voice mails – not to mention the continuous stream of meetings to attend.

My goodness, it is a wonder we get anything done in this world of crazy we live in. Continue reading ‘Fact: Tomorrow Will Be As Crazy As Today’ »

The story is told of a depressed woman who jumped from a bridge into the river below. Without hesitation, a man who witnessed the act jumped in to save her.  But “the hero” suddenly remembered that he couldn’t swim.   Soon he began yelling for help and thrashing around, which would likely mean instant death for both.

Hearing the man’s cries, the depressed woman swam to his rescue, carried him out of the water, and administered CPR…thus saving his life. Continue reading ‘Do You Have Your Life’s Mission and Vision Defined?’ »

“Before we can have a successful relationship with anyone, we first need a perfect personal relationship.” – Russ Von Hoelscher

Well, perhaps not perfection since it does not exist! But it is necessary to have a successful relationship with yourself before you can extend that to others.

Do your relationships bring you stress?  Being aware of the problem is the beginning of finding the solution. Continue reading ‘Healthier Relationships On Your Goal List for 2011?’ »

Why it is Important to Build and Rebuild Trust

As noted in earlier blogs, trust is paramount to healthy working relationships, effective communication, increased productivity, and YES… a healthy bottom-line!

Conflict is a natural part of our human existence.  Differing opinions, values, and habits make conflict inevitable.   The importance of resolving conflict while maintaining trust cannot be overstated.  Eight ways to minimize the conflict that destroys trust or to rebuild trust once it has been damaged are shown below: Continue reading ‘Has Trust Been Lost in Your Working Relationships?’ »

Most successful leaders are reported to have a high internal locus of control.  People with an internal locus of control take responsibility for their lives and how the world works.  Since their belief system values attempts to take control of things that can be managed by them, a great deal of success typically follows.

The Law of Belief is a sister law to the Law of Attraction, discussed in last week’s blog.  Things, people, and circumstances are attracted into our lives, either consciously or unconsciously, through the belief systems we have.

Many times our belief systems are old and outdated and no longer serve us.  Often, these beliefs never did work to our higher good.  For a good source on the impact of belief upon you mindset – go to this blog site.

Many beliefs come from our families and are often handed down generation to generation.  Beliefs can center around health and wellness, financial success, indebtedness, life expectancy, career choices, religious doctrines, marital success, etc.  Continue reading ‘Does the Law of Belief Impact You?’ »

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.

Interesting thing talking to the leaders, managers and sales people with all sizes of organizations, the number of people who tell me they do not have time for Personal Development is alarming.

How do they think or feel they are going to get better over time? Opps! That’s the real issue – they believe they have all ready arrived. Especially the highly educated left-brained individuals who think they already have all the answers. These people are dangerous to the health of your organization.

Now that is a strong statement – being dangerous to the health of the company – yet, it is true. There are reason for this statement. Continue reading ‘Personal Development Really Is Important’ »

Here is some valuable information:

“Knowing What to Do is Separate from Actually Doing It!”

I am continually amazed by comments from leaders of organizations who announce “my people know what to do.” And, then when asking questions about the outcomes and results – I get non answers or corporate speak. (Corporate speak is the sterile response to a tough question that contains no emotion, no action and no commitment.)

Why does this happen? Because the “knowing-doing” gap is in action or really inaction. The Knowing-Doing gap is a fatal condition that allows people with excellent information and knowledge to limit their actions or worse – take the incorrect actions.

I had a sales manager tell me that he was concerned about his team. They kept telling him – usually when they lost a potential sale or customer – they knew they did something wrong – even though they were trained to do it correctly. He told me that he was hearing this too often and he knew he had to take action or his team could fall short of their goals. Continue reading ‘Knowing What to Do is Apart from Actually Doing It’ »

Every time I tell a coaching client that stress can be a positive thing, I get strange looks from my client. Then we discuss the meaning of the statement and they usually agree that stress is a positive thing.

Okay, so you have not moved from the dark side. Still believing that all stress is negative? Ah, grasshopper, listen and learn.

How does stress move from the dark side of negative thinking to becoming a positive good thing to have around? It’s really quite simple. When you have goals and deadlines for the goals – that you want and your established. That’s how. Goal directed stress is a positive enforcement of personal accountability. It is the need to accomplish your goal with no excuses allowed.

Practice the art of thinking about what you want in life. Then, set goals – with deadlines – and begin the process of achievement. It feels great to accomplish things and gives you the confidence necessary to set higher goals that get you to the next level of success. All the things that you want out of life can be achieved – one step at a time.

If you are not certain about how to set and achieve goals, then check into our “Phoenix Seminar.” This three day personal development journey is made for those who want more out of life. It takes courage to attend this three day workshop as you will learn techniques and skills for taking back control of your life and achieving at a higher level than you thought you could. Go to our Phoenix Seminar website to learn more, watch a couple of videos, and then make a decision to take back control of your life today.
