Success Lesson: Deal in Reality By Jim Stovall

Jack Welch is among the great executives and business minds on the scene today. Through his own corporate performance, his books, and speeches, he is recognized as a world leader. I believe one of the major keys to Jack Welch’s success is summed up by his statement, “Start every meeting with the question, ‘What is the reality?’”

No matter where you want to go in your life or your career, the one thing I know is that you will be starting from the exact point where you are today. There are no shortcuts to anywhere worth going, and the first necessary step begins when you identify exactly where you are.

The Illusion of Challenge Randy Taylor

Motivation

Have you always felt deep down inside that you are capable of so much more? If you do you’re not alone.

Most of us have an innate sense that we are capable of far more than we have yet we remain confused by what stops us and conflicted by what we need to do to make it happen. I work in the field of personal and professional development, primarily in the financial services industry and deal every day with clients looking to implement the process of change that will lead to success. The truth is that the greatest challenge any of us will face throughout life is the impact of the information we take in and the experiences we have over decades that create the voice of doubt. Know this. You and I and everyone were born with a perfect belief system.

Your Positive Self Talk And Thinking Matters

Motivation

The importance of self talk is nothing new, and I am sure that you have heard about it before. For the past 20 years of my learning and growing with personal development leaders, teachers, and friends, one thing remains so apparent — the idea that we become what we think about.

Do you realize that 90% of our thoughts are unconscious, we don’t even know we are having these “Little Conversations” with ourselves. This self talk and or self thought is so powerful and controlling it is unbelievable.

How Rituals and Discipline can Improve Every Aspect of Your Life

Motivation

We live in a world where there is a constant demand for everything. Success then, is derived not from resourcefulness or doing something great, but showing up day in and day out. And being dedicated, persistent, it buys you a lot of progress either way.

And although motivation for something and carrying a lot of knowledge under your sleeve helps a lot, we come to recognize discipline as the ultimate currency in whatever success that we talk about. Sure, these other things have definite merit for certain, but when observed closely we can see that discipline and persistence play a crucial role in many areas of life, and many complex systems in fact.

These little conversations we have today change our tomorrow

Motivation

You might think that the title of this article is a bold statement. Yes, I guess it is but the reality is that it is one of the most correct statements you will ever read. Yet another bold statement you say, well lets dig into this a little deeper shall we?

Those little conversations you have with yourself are the reason you are where you are today, they are the reason for all of your successes and failures. All of your triumphs and defeats.

Success Tip: Lessons Can Be Taught Anywhere

Motivation

As we walk through our ever exciting journey called life, we see that “life lessons” can be taught at every junction, every crossroads, and even at every moment. Most of the time, it is our presence that is lacking so we miss the WOO, we miss The Window Of Opportunity.

I recently had one of these WOO’s and it was so close to home and so magnificent that I just had to share it. My son plays hockey on a Bantam AE Rep Team. Now for those of you who have children involved in hockey, you will probably know what I am saying. They play a smaller loop than the higher seated B team in our particular center I guess is the easiest way to get into it without using your time discussing the levels of B vs AE in our center.

How to Make it Happen in a Watch What’s Happening World

Motivation

OK, so you wanted to start a blog. You’re passionate about writing so you set up a website and went to town blogging. Six months into it, you only have a handful of subscribers, few comments, and nobody’s knocking your door down wanting guest posts. On top of that, your site could already use a major overhaul.

Success Lesson: Vibration is infectious

Motivation

I think we have all been there, standing in line at a local restaurant, waiting for our children at their school, checking out at the local grocery store, being patient in one of the “big box” stores while doing our Christmas shopping, or even at a traffic light, driving down the highway, walking your dog, and getting your morning java at your favorite coffee shop. The possibilities of where this happen are truly endless.

What is “this” you might ask, “this” is catching someone’s attitude, someone’s positive vibration. Now of course this works both for positive vibrations and the not so positive. For this article we prefer to discuss the positive.

How to overcome overwhelm and get on with your success

Motivation

How many times have you had a big idea only to find yourself getting discouraged, even before you’ve gotten started?

Well my friend, this is called overwhelm. When you have a grand idea, your juices start to flow. Your mind starts to race. You feel motivated. You feel excited. You can’t wait to get started. But then “reality” sets in. Fear, doubt, and a whole bunch of questions arise, starting with, “How the heck am I going to get this all done?” But fear not, overwhelm is solvable.
