Boy, I have to tell you I'm so excited about not being knocked out of social media, business opportunities and life. There are many among us that make a conscious decision to give up and quit for various reasons. For example, it is to hard to continue, time consuming and it will never work. Well, quitting knocks you out before results. Lets take rowing upstream like the image below.
Let's imagine at the end of this beautiful lake their is a drop. What decision will you make? There are not many choices, however, a choice must be made to quit and fall off the drop, or put a potential plan in place that will help you survive even if an injury occurs. Quitting is an option but, not the best choice. There's a saying keep your eye on the prize it is a biblical principal but works in any thing we do. Our goal is to maintain drive, stay focus and render negative ideologies helpless. The question becomes, how does one render negative ideologies helpless?
1. Starve negative thoughts by overwhelming selection of positive affirmations
2. Network with positive people
3. Stay focused on your personal goals
Here's a quote I love by Henry Ford
This quote suggest the following, no matter what you think it will happen. If you think like a quitter you will never accomplish anything, meaning you'll quit before the results manifest. If you think you can, the results are already visualized, it is a manner of putting action behind your thought.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Great players are willing to give up their own personal achievement for the achievement of the group. It enhances everybody.
To give up their own personal achievement for the achievement of the group. It enhances everybody. This quote is amazing, it crosses both business and personal lines. Group achievement includes performing the task at hand with the same mindset as it relates to goals, and problem-solving. It takes teamwork, team spirit and team success. Breaking these connections results in poor outcomes. Business owners love great results. Your business should provide you with progressive reports which indicate your business outcomes.
Just like basketball, the stats are the report card of the players performance. Basketball players desire high scores. These stats include shooting, rebounding, assist, steals, turnovers, and free throw percentage just to name a few. What if you developed a report card that indicates your business performance? The question becomes, How is your performance? For example, how often are you engaging with current prospects, and new affiliates? Just like the game of basketball the captain must guide, support and encourage the team. This is an important part of winning the game. What's your business score.
Developing a winning attitude begins with the coach. For example, a coach must understand discipline, and motivation which in turns inspires, and establish trust. Players must trust their coach, it is an important component of any relationship. Imagine in the days of kareem Abdul-Jabbar or any basketball team, had it not been for adequate coaching the success of the team is rendered ineffective. Similarly like the Lakers at this date and time. However, these inadequacies can turn around with proper guidance, motivation and support.
Mastering a winning attitude in business takes work. It requires self-motivation, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and a action plan. Basketball players learn their strengths early but, success comes with practice, strategies and a willingness to accept guidance from both the coach and team leaders. A successful business. includes detailed, realistic goals, and plans that create growth. Just as the basketball teams prepare to win, so does the business team. The key is strategies that move your team forward. Taking the ball passing it to your teammates and utilizing the entire court. Basketball players like business owners loss when the game become a one man show. I like to call them hog the ball leaders, this type of player forgets the importance of huddling and including the other team mates.
A team huddle is very important, it bonds team members and creates close connections. Like groups on facebook, when set-up correctly, each member succeeds. Groups promote traffic, increase potential prospects, and friendship. Team growth is imperative in business. Basketball is so exciting, the energy is high and each team member wants to win. Business owners must have the same winning attitude. Remember this quote
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Great players are willing to give up their own personal achievement for the achievement of the group. It enhances everybody.
“A lot of people have gone further than they thought they could because someone
else thought they could.” – Unknown
Are you the best at what you do? Try reaching out to a mentor. Today I wanted to speak to mentoring. I found it beneficial to identify
important qualities in one who professes to be a mentor. Seek mentors who have a
listening ear, and are willing to guide you in your learning process. Whether it is business or training for an
event. One of the key characteristic of a mentor, is listening, and effective communication. According to Entwistle
(2000), “There are three main approaches to learning: deep, surface or
strategic learning. Entwistle, describes deep
learners as intrinsically motivated students, striving to understand and seek
meaning from their work and studies.
Surface learners are described as being motivated by a fear of failure and
a desire to simply satisfy the demands of the curriculum. Such an approach usually results in poor
understanding with minimal sense of lasting achievement or satisfaction (Kell
and Owen 2009). We want to have lasting learning and understanding to perfect
the challenges in building our business. Success in learning anything, comes from an effective mentor.
An effective mentor
assesses the needs, builds a relationship of trust, and guides the
mentee toward goals. A mentor will
assist in developing a plan of action that will move the mentee toward
success. It is important that the mentor
be aware of jargon language and judgments.
Mentors answer questions, provide guidance and encouragement. Mentors are available and willing to assist
in the growth of the mentee. Patience is what builds strong relationships.
Mentors must have patience, when mentee’s
become anxious and project self-criticisms, mentors should inject words that will
reduce the mentee’s fears, and anxiety. This helps reduce anxiety and redirects the mentee's focus. There are
lots of mentors who claim to be supportive, active and participatory in the
success of the mentee. However, this is
not always true. It is important to
identify your needs. Determine how the
mentor can help. Once you have decided that a mentor is needed then begin the
search by asking question/. Mentors are valid and have
existed for many years. It is up to you to
seek and find the mentor that will stretch you in areas you have not exercised
before namely the ‘brain.’
Additional methods of learning include reading blogs from other business leaders, gathering ideas from other business owners that interest you. It is equally important to have an open mind, and having the ability to recognize your strengths and weaknesses. Growing pains come as knowledge increases, it takes understanding to success in anything. Mentoring works when the mentor is able to capture the learners attention. Guidance, listening ear and patience are key.

This article will shock advertisers. If you are experiencing fake clicks you need a traffic tracker. I am amazed at the type of scams hosting false information on your Business. I do not mean to be be negative, but taking money from Internet marketers through clicks that are fake is just wrong. I am not sure how many of you are experiencing bot clicks which attaches malware each time the fake click occurs, this is bad for our computers.

Be informed, don't let your advertising efforts and money fall in t o the business hole of no return.

Others live on in a careless and lukewarm
state - not appearing to fill Longfellow's measure: 'Into each life, some rain
must fall.' Mary Todd Lincoln Hello, Carolyn Coleman –Grady here today I thought to myself are you
lukewarm living in a careless state. I
had to truthful answer perhaps in some areas in my life I am. We all get a little lukewarm and careless. What is great about recognizing these
careless acts are self-reflections, self- examination? It takes discipline to
really delve into our own carelessness.
Many people decide to ignore this area.
When we ignore a careless area in our lives the careless behaviors
repeat it-self.
In my previous blog, I spoke about the salesman who offered
the lawn man a new way of cutting his lawn but he was so ridged in his decision
he continued to use the bladed mower which took 5 hours to complete lawn. The consideration and possibilities of an
updated lawn mower was out of the questions.
The careless ridged thoughts of some will prevent progress. Now his
decision not to change or upgrade could become a careless decision for example:
We all know that over time blades rust.
When blades rust the risk of an injury like cutting your hands while
pulling excess grass out of the blade is careless and the long term effect of a
cut such as this one could become a problem.
It sounds fairly simple but it happens.
Careless decisions about our finances take place daily, many
of us rob Peter to pay Paul constantly struggling to make since out of
financial disability. I call it financial
disability because it renders you depended on others for income. Boring, taking out loans, credit cards ect. What you do to create financial disabilities could
leave you in a suspended state. The
strategies used to disarm your financial wows must be strategic. In a strategic
move you disarm the opponent. You
develop a movement that creates a winning outcome.
To win you must play.
If you sit in the same chair the same way you will get up the same way
and nothing will change. It is important
to rid your lives of carelessness attitudes, behaviors and perceptions. Hot or cold lukewarm each has its unwelcome
place.
Nothing diminishes anxiety faster than action.”
-Walter Anderson
If you are suspended between hot, cold
and lukewarm battle until a balance occurs.

Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire and begin at once, whether you ready or not, to put this plan into action. Napoleon Hill
Have you ever put a plan on paper, put some thought about it and tucked it away? Wonder what causes many of us to hide ideas? Do you believe in the idea? What causes some to put their creative side to rest and others move forward with theirs? These are questions to ponder over. All of us have been there. Our thoughts are moving so quickly and it is difficult to keep up with the direction our thoughts are leading us too. I love the quote by Napoleon Hill.
Creating a definite plan if MLM training is your plan get started, assess and evaluate the need. Ask yourself what would people like to know about MLM? What can I offer that would give people a clear understanding on MLM? What tools would people need to begin MLM training? These are just an example on how to get your creative side to work.
What if you sale a produce you'll need to plan and begin to carry out your desire. An assessment and evaluation of your targeted audience is important. What is the need for your product? What are the benefits? How will your product help people? You must develop a plan and as Napoleon's quote states "Carry it out."
I know you saying, I'm not ready but not being ready is not an option. Getting ready is the option, planning ahead, researching, locating your targeting audience, finding out the needs of the audience and then implementing the plan? Yes you are right perhaps you will reevaluate this is also good. But, the first step is creating an Idea and carrying it out putting it into action. Develop strategies that will promote your services and keep the people wanting more.
