What are YOU Becoming !? Pt 9


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. See post, Being Resourceful Pt 8-9. If you want to keep shifting your identity, you need to keep improving and sustaining your disciplines.

Next, your association. Who you actively share your life with, plays a major role, on the quality of your life. You need to keep attentively observing the life of those you aspire to be, if you want your identity to improve.

Finally, you need to keep changing your controlling story/belief system. This is perhaps, the most important of the three discussed so far, and the main reason, why people get stuck in life. Your story is like the sign post and capacity of your life; everything starts, and stops there. In order to go further in life, and experience more success, you need to keep changing your story. For more on your controlling story, see post, Being Resourceful Pt 8.

Conclusion

In shifting your identity, you also have to let go of what’s no longer needed. Don’t allow an old character, story, emotional state, discipline or association, hold you back, whether they be good or bad. And remember, you have different identities prevalent in your life; one in your faith, relationship, career, health, finances; in every area of your life that matters. You have to keep shifting all of them at the same time, if you don’t want your life to implode.

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

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

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
