What are YOU Becoming !? Pt 6

Of all the resources discussed thus far, none relates more to the title of this series than the discussion of this week. To become courageous, you just need to put yourself in situations that require courage; to become trustworthy, you need to be reliable in your words and actions; to become someone of integrity, you need to always keep the promises made to yourself and others; to become excellent, you need to keep going the extra mile for yourself and others. It seems fairly obvious how to develop most resources at our disposal, but what seems to elude many is how to become passionate.

How To Develop Passion

It's easy to become passionate about what you love, but not so much, if you don't have an affinity for it. When you're faced with that dilemma, one of the ways out of it, is to ask yourself the right questions. Why am I doing this? What promise am I keeping by doing this? What am I becoming, by doing this? What contribution am I making, by doing this? Who am I helping by doing this? An HONEST and SATISFIED response to these questions and more, will grow passion for any activity. And to sustain your passion, all you need to do, is keep revisiting the questions, and coming up with better responses, till the activity is finished or the goal is attained.

A Faster Approach

Passion is an emotion, and just like a muscle, it needs to be exercised to be maintained - Anthony Robbins. You might be asking the right questions, and responding the right way, but if you don't CONSTANTLY maintain your passion, it will die out. The FASTEST and EASIEST way to do that, is through a set of physical rituals/routines. - Anthony Robbins. For example to rekindle or maintain the passion in your relationship, assuming there's no underlying character flaw, you should relive the physical routines you did when it was VERY passionate, such as asking your spouse how his/her day went at the end of the day, going out on strolls, doing activities together, having more intimate times together, complimenting one another, communicating more or being more physical every chance you get.

How To Grow Passion

Now, to grow your passion, all you need to do, is to come up with a unique set of physical rituals or questions to respond to.

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
