Being Resourceful Pt 8

I have shared with you multiple disciplines necessary for success, such as growth, goal achievements, and being attentive to what matters in your life. But there is one which is crucial, and essential to increase your level of success, and that's your controlling story/belief system. The story you have playing in your subconscious will determine whether you remain stagnant, succeed or fail at trying to succeed. So many limiting stories are developed during the formative years of a child, and it carries on till adulthood; stories like, you're not good enough, only a few make it, you're nothing, you don't deserve it....To change your life, you need to change your controlling story.

Our Subconscious Rules Us

95% of our decisions are controlled by our subconscious, according to research findings. That means our controlling story is responsible for the quality of our life. It affects our relationships, our career route and our lifestyle. Most people are the way they are; trying to get a better job, trying to pay the next bill, trying to change houses, trying to save money on gas, because of their controlling story. They're just making a living, instead of designing a life. They're not making effective use of their resources, because their controlling story is telling them that, that's all they can get out of life.

The Fork In The Road

However, there comes that moment, when most people get fed up with life. Some, sadly to say, end it, while others seek to change it. The ones seeking change, will have to start by changing their controlling story. One of the proven ways is through affirmations. But, most people think, it means voicing out a more empowering narrative; it's more than that. It's being in a meditative state; allowing the words or imagery to leave an impression, such that they go beyond your mind into your soul, where it can transform you. A story, doesn't just contain words or imagery; we feel emotions (energy to enliven you or produce death) from it, based on the interpretation we give to it, through our consciousness/mind (RAS). Now, the only way, for your new story to leave an impression, is if you have evidence to convince your subconscious that it's real. That evidence comes from engaging in other successful disciplines. None of the disciplines for success, work in isolation. Check Pt 3 - 5 of this series for other disciplines necessary for success. In whatever form, being meditative is to you, that's where you're meant to be, for most of the day.

Forms Of Meditation

Some script out their new story in a journal, or record it, and play it back to themselves on a loop. Others, envision themselves living in their new story, in such a way that they feel the emotions directing it. And, you have the traditionalists that affirm/mutter or shout it out. Bottom line is that, you need to keep brooding/mulling over that new story, UNTIL you begin to EXPERIENCE it.

Don't Settle

To increase your level of success, you need to get a more empowering story. That's what will sustain and keep growing your results.

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

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
