How To Be Resourceful In A Slow Growth Economy

Your current identity exists because of the disciplines you’ve been engaged in, and pending any changes, will keep engaging in, in the future. Take an example of someone whose identity isn’t one of a fit person. No matter the effort he puts into becoming fit, he won’t be able to sustain it, because his identity doesn’t match that of a fit person. You need to keep shifting your identity, with your NEW results, skills, emotional state or character. Let’s examine another example. Happy people, aren’t in that state, because of what happens to them or for them, but because of who they’re becoming. They’re happy because of the promises they keep to themselves and others. So, whatever they experience doesn’t change their emotional state. The same goes for peaceful people; they’re peaceful because of what they’ve come to understand about life. UNDERSTANDING brings REST. Ways To Shift Your Identity Your disciplines are the EVIDENCE for your current state in life. The same goes for success....

The discussion in this post is the culmination of weeks of discussing about what constitutes an attractive character, emotional state, and beneficial belief system. Just like success, which is dynamic (see post, What are YOU Becoming!? Pt 7 ), your character, your emotional state and belief system are dynamic as well. You can transform from being unreliable, fearful, doubtful, dishonest, lazy, sad, lethargic, to becoming trustworthy, courageous, honest, happy, passionate, confident, determined and fully persuaded. These are what make up part of your personality, the real you; your IDENTITY. Recap In the post, Being Resourceful Pt 8 , my colleague, talked about the transformative effect of a NEW controlling story/belief system that leaves an impression on you. And, he revealed that the transformation begins in the mind, by meditating on the words that make up the story. He further said, that by backing the story with EVIDENCE, it causes the transformation to coalesce in the soul (you...

In my last post, I ended the discussion by talking about your ideal customer. This week, I will carry on from where I left off, by reiterating that, if you know your ideal customer, you'll know how to sell to them. However, selling starts with your value proposition. What can you offer them, that solves their problem, dissolves their doubt, makes life more pleasant, in a genuine way, that they can relate to or admire? And can you make the proposition unique , such that the competition find it difficult to emulate? Your Area Of Excellence The value proposition, doesn't just stop at making a statement or promise. You, also have to create the value, and provide this value better than anyone else in the market, for a prolonged period. Providing constant value, that the customer raves about, comes from constant innovation. And, to get the highest and best yield, the innovation should be mainly focused on your business's intangibles, such as sales, marketing, advertisement a...

In my last post, I talked about having evidence, to back your belief system. Because without evidence, it ceases to be a system; it exists as a wish, a dream, or hope, without transformative energy. It can’t travel beyond your mind, into your soul. Success is about having faith, NOT hope. And without evidence for success, it won't be granted to you. At every point in time, life is always asking you for your evidence. When you go through difficult times, what's the proof/evidence that you'll come out of it? If you're not constantly producing evidence, you won't be able to go past your goals or even achieve them. Remember,  goals are just mile markers on the path to success - David   Meltzer . What Is Your Evidence? I gave a hint as to the evidence, that needs to be produced, in my last post. And they're things everybody should know, but because people don't know it's important, only a very small percentage stick to it. Now, before I mention it, ...
