Take a Moment to connect with your Vision

Leaders have a vision, an inner knowing where they are headed, and what they are creating before the results are manifested.
 
Your vision is decision based, inspiring action to create momentum required to manifest your desire.
 
All activities results from decisions.
 
Affirmations are important, but affirmations won’t produce results, actions will.
 
Take a moment to connect with your vision.
What does it look like?
How does it feel?
Can you describe it to someone else?
Are you clear on what motivates you to do what you do?
 
As a leader, you become a mentor, instilling confidence despite the odds, regardless of circumstances.
You encourage your team to initiate and create solutions proactively.
Your actions set the example you ask your team to follow, never asking anyone to do something you would not be willing to do yourself, thus teaching reality instead of theory.

What’s a Leadership?

What’s A Leadership?

 
Leadership is not a position; it is an action.
 
 
A leader sets the example by choosing a direction, and then stays the course through both, challenges and victories all through the journey.

 
 Great leaders value their supporters and nurture their relationship with them, eve when going gets tough.
Your attitude toward the people you lead will inspire their loyalty and earn their respect.
Cultivating these relationships is imperative to your success, because without supporters to follow you your leadership position will only exist in your imagination.
 
People will follow leaders who they perceive as influential.
 
People of influence create change to make a difference because they are different themselves.
 
Successful leadership only occurs when you understand that there is a psychology to it and that the success of your imagination happens by design, not by accident.

Create Great Connections

 

Most type of businesses require to develop or improve communication skills.

For some it’s natural, for others, it’s not.
However great people skills will allow you to have an entirely different opportunity to create results that you so desire.
 
People skills are developed through repetition and experience, but most importantly, by learning how to listen.
 
Listening is key to success.
Listening means connecting.
Listening means learning more.
Listening means carrying.
Listening means hearing.
 
Listening takes focus off of you.
You want to learn how to create situations where you say very little about you, instead finding out about
the person you are talking to.
Because by asking questions and listening, and letting person talk without interrupting them leaves that person with the feeling of having a great conversation.
When you listen good, you may find out more about several aspects of person’s life.
 
Do you have children?…. listen, and ask more… how many? What age are they?… Wow! Grown up already…
how do you manage the two of them
going to University.
 
Tell me what you do? …and listen,
What I hear you say….repeat what you heard in one or two words…
that you really like what you do….
and what made you choose to do this?
…and listen. And how do you hold it all together, I always wonder?….
and listen… and ask more about them.
 
Why do you want to know so much about this person.
Well, there is a reason why you started this dialogue with this person. Something in that person triggered your interest. You want to find if there
is a common ground, and maybe not.
 
Take you time, do not jump to any conclusions too fast.
It may take more then one meeting with that person if your interest is continued, and you created good energy with that person.
You may find the way how to meet again. Initiate your next meeting… over the phone, invite them over, meet at your favorite Chapters Starbucks Cafe Shop.
 
Keep on connecting. It may take a while before you actually know whether this person is the right one to continue on.
 
          Tell You Story
 
Over twenty years ago we were invited for dinner by one couple. There were three couples at that dinner.
Another invited couple, Anna and Alex impressed me as somebody I wanted to get to know more about. During that evening I asked  Anna some questions, find out that she also was in Real Estate (common grounds).
What I heard her saying made me curious. I wanted to know more about her. We exchanged business cards.
I called her, she was away. Called her again after a while. I didn’t hear from her. Finally I spoke with her after my fourth call, and suggested to meet up. We did. I asked her more, and then, I noticed that she asked me questions, and I kept answering to her.
She kept on asking, and listening.
We became very important friends with each other.
We will be friends for the rest of our lives. We had gone through a lot during this period.
I respect her for many reasons. The list is getting bigger and bigger. In many ways, she became my role model.
It took long time for me to realize that
Anna was really a master of asking questions, and listening. I realized that,
and learned from that. I still, however have hard time to ask her questions,
because she prefers to ask me…
and I tell.

Focus On Revenue Producing Activities

After all, wouldn’t creating more results in your enterprise open a new door to the solutions that would resolve many of your current challenges???

 

Results are what will create the finances to provide you with the leverage to have more options in life: this is why production is so powerful.

 

If you are seeking for more results, become more productive with your time. Focus on revenue producing activities instead of what keeps you busy. There is a time for paperwork, personal development, and research, and that time is after the close of business for the day or early in the morning prior to the beginning of your business day.

 

 What are Revenue Producing activities?

Connecting with people, marketing yourself, and making “contracts”
resulting in revenue for your business.
 
It really doesn’t matter, what type of business you are, store front, consulting,  home-based, or a JOB,
YOU MUST PRODUCE!!!
 
Connecting: Guaranteed that if you allow yourself to spend more time connecting with people in a next six months, your results will begin to quantify.

 
 
                   Tell You Story 

 

 I grew up without much happiness after my father picked me up from The Orphanage at the age of seven. Shortly after, somehow my two older sister were find. I also was introduced to eight of my father’s brothers, and one sister. To much of my regret, I did not connect with them at all. For the most part, I felt like an outcast.

At one point in my teens I made a decision that my family will be picked up by my own choice, not out obligation.
 
This is how I met my most important people in my life. I followed my heart.
I never hesitated to pursue anyone who attracted my attention. I was very interested to know more about them,
I wanted to dig dipper into their stories, so that I would understand about what made me interested in them in a first place.
It took me several years to feel really connected. I begun to feel worthy, as I was positively effecting these people’s lives, as they did mine.
What I also know that as I continued to mature, during all of my life experiences that I kept connecting with new people. I always took initiative to make a first step. Never waited for anyone to call me.
 
I did call those for the simple reason,
I wanted to find out more about them,
and see if there would be real connection possible.
In some cases, I, after several dialogues with the person would dismiss them, as I didn’t feel empowered, or charged with great energy. I felt drained, and uninspired.
I’ll tell you more tomorrow about:
 

How to Create Great Connections.

Do you have to be liked by everybody?

I believe that there are two kinds of people in the world: “your people” and “not your people”

 
“Your people” are those who praise you, appreciate you, light up sincerely when they see you, and want to spend the time with you. 

“Not your people” are those who ignore you, dismiss you, reject you, dislike you, and could care less what happened to you.

You can always tell who “your people” are because of how you feel when you’re around them-you can feel the positive energy flow between you.
You feel happy, comfortable, accepted, cared about. “Your people are interested in what you have to say, what’s on your mind, what’s going on in your life.
 
One way to have a happier life is to focus your attention on your people. Your people will help you be more successful, support you in achieving your goals, and love and encourage you along the journey of life, no matter what. These are the people you want to spend time with-the ones who make a difference in your life.
 
How many of us get all caught up in worrying and obsessing about the people who don’t like us-lying awake at night and wondering how we get their attention and perhaps win their acceptance?
Does it ever work? No. If someone doesn’t like you, there isn’t much you can do to change their opinion-and why should you?
 
Do you want relief?
 
Take A sheet of paper and draw a line down the middle.
On one side, list “My People”, and on the other, list “Not my people”
List everybody who you have around you, your relatives, acquaintances, co-workers, friends of friends and others.
You or may not choose to do anything about those who are “not your people” - it’s totally up to you.
No need to make any decisions.
For now, just notice who ” your people” are, and choose to spend more time with them.
Let them love you, encourage you, support you, make you feel good. Self-care may be as simple as hanging out with “your people.”
