Being Resourceful Pt 3

Carrying on from last week, when I revealed the power of experiences, I alluded to the definition of success, by saying that we need to hold onto what is necessary from our PAST and focus on what's important NOW, to have any chance of an enviable FUTURE. Because everything affects everything else - Jim Rohn.

Everything Is Useful

There's nothing in life which is not useful, no matter how insignificant or appalling it is. When it relates to us as human beings, we need to give the needed attention to every area of our lives, because everything counts in the BIG PICTURE. And that picture can be one of lasting success or failure, true happiness or regret; it all depends on YOU.

What Is Success

Success is not one big unexpected event, it's a compounding effect of small and expanding disciplines. For someone who is fit and healthy, it all started from their unwillingness to neglect taking that first bite of a vegetable, which led to them wanting to take that first step outside the apartment, which led to having a journal/app to track their eating and exercise habits, and the list goes on. Failure to neglect the small disciplines and sustaining it, is the key to success - Jim Rohn.

How To Maintain Success

But to have LASTING success, you need to ensure that every area of your life is given the needed attention. It means that, failure to attend to your relationships, will affect your attention to your job/business. Or it could be that, failure to attend to your health, affects your lifestyle, which in turn affects your relationships, eventually affecting your attention to your job/business. I'm sure there are many more dots to connect; it's endless.

Stay Tuned

Remember, everything affects everything else. I will be back next week to continue the discussion on success, because it's NOT over. Chao!!

Building A Thriving Business (What's at the VERY CORE) Pt 2

Last, we talked about clearly defining roles for every team member, and the 20-80 rule. So this week, let's digg deeper into the rule. What Really Matters Some might think this is just talk, but don't be deceived, success is not by accident, it's planned. To build a thriving business you need to plan for it. Now, the 20% effort every team/business leader should be focusing on is not based on allocated activities; that will never yield 80% of the desired result. What I mean is that, they shouldn't be focused on taking 20% of the work; in fact that's even worse, because the team will see it as not pulling your weight. Rather the 20% effort is ensuring that every team member has BOUGHT INTO THE VISION. The Power Of One Voice When there is unison in a team, it is equivalent to an immense amount of energy that can break down a boulder. Unity in vision is what really matters. That's what ensures your team members remain vigilant and accountable even when you

Being Resourceful Pt 2

If it wasn't obvious in the last post, being resourceful is the key to getting anything in life. But this week, I want to focus on another underlying truth people neglect; one which their lives consist of, and that is,  experiences , and the treasures they hold. What Does Life Consist Of? Life is the combination of experiences. To live a full life, you need to fill it up with experiences. How many you may ask? As many as you possibly can. What kind? Ones that have learning opportunities. NOTE, don't confuse gratification for a learning experience; gratification is temporal, and if not checked could hold you back, but what you learn can live on forever. Just as there is benefit in experiencing new things, there is also loss, if you stop experiencing new things; you might as well be dead. We all know death is inevitable, but with a healthy obsession for growth, you have a good chance of keeping it at bay. More Than Meets The Eye Now, what is there in our experiences to glea

Building A Thriving Business (What's at the VERY CORE) Pt 11

Business is all about getting paying customers, for as many times as possible, for the longest duration possible, by leveraging the assets in the business. There are tangible and intangible assets in a business, but where most of the windfall cash is lying dormant, is in the intangible assets, such as marketing, innovation, goodwill, sales, market identity and advertisement. The job of the business leader, is to strategically leverage these assets, to get the best and highest yield possible. Be Strategic The setbacks of techniques/tactics, such as sales techniques, is that they are short term plans, that can be found out by your targeted prospect, and any kind of goodwill generated could be lost. Every business leader should always be thinking long term; looking towards the back-end of every sale. They should be asking,  How much value can I keeping adding to my client? These could be in your marketing, innovation, advertising or pricing. By being a valued expert, rather than a s
