What are YOU Becoming !? Pt 3

This week, let's focus on another resource that's essential to making lasting change; courage. It's the ability to carry on with a task in the midst of fear, uncertainty or even death, UNTIL something happens - you might not even be able to finish the task, but the effort is what counts. Someone with integrity would say, 'I will follow through, because I've committed myself already', but it might take courage to make good on that promise, because not all tasks will be routine.

Courage Is Necessary

All the great landmarks in history took courage. To make lasting change in your life, will require courage as well. And the earlier you build courage, the better, because life only gets tougher. You don't want to look back on your life, and regret not taking certain steps.

What It Takes To Succeed

It's only the courageous that make it in life, because they don't cower, when the circumstances they want don't exist. Rather, they go ahead and create it; persisting UNTIL it's completed, and remaining consistent UNTIL it's established. No wonder, the courageous are related with success - for insight on success, follow our success series on, 'Being Resourceful Pt 3 - 5'.

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
