Mon, 15 Aug 2005 00:00:00 +0100

Here are a few commonly held beliefs, or "myths," that hold many of us back from achieving success...

Myth #1: I don't have what it takes to be successful and wealthy.

Fact: Successful people were not born that way. In fact, many of the most successful people today had very difficult lives. They were regular people who wished for more. And they decided to do something about it - to change their circumstances. Anyone can do the same, including you and I.

Myth 2: I don't ha... (Read All)

Success Stories?Reliving The Past Helps You Build The Future

Thu, 23 Feb 2006 00:00:00 +0100

One of the exercises that I have many clients do is list out all the successes they?ve had in life. I ask them to start with early childhood and list everything they can remember being successful at. One of my clients recently gave the assignment to his girlfriend. She asked me afterwards what the point was. She hadn?t found it very useful.

What I told her is that that I?ve found that this exercise serves two important services. First, it?s a self esteem booster. Most people don?t realiz... (Read All)

10 sure-fire measures to become the bossâs favorite

Tue, 07 Mar 2006 00:00:00 +0100

Any office has two kinds of people, a group that works hard but is never noticed and the other who immediately spring to mind.

Am I A Decision-Maker or a Goal-Achiever

Thu, 30 Mar 2006 00:00:00 +0100

At an executive retreat, a consultant expert asked the assembled leaders, âWhy do you get paid?â After listening to a variety of responses, he revealed his answer: âLeaders get paid for making decisions.â He is right, to a point, but the message he sent was a dangerous one for leaders to hear.

Sure, leaders make decisions, but if they think of themselves as decision-makers, that is what they will be. Not leaders. Decision-makers organize their universe around problems. In gene... (Read All)

Stop Charging by the Hour and Make More Money as a Creative Professional

Wed, 05 Apr 2006 00:00:00 +0100

One of the biggest challenges with a creative business is getting paid what you are worth. The root of the problem isn't that the client doesn't have the money and it isn't that the client isn't willing to pay you what you are worth. The root of the problem is how you are charging and how you are creating value in the mind of the client.

First, you must create a business based on value pricing and not hourly pricing. The number one worst way to charge (and most creative businesses are cha... (Read All)

"The world we've made, as a result of the level of thinking we have done thus far, creates problems we cannot solve at the same level of thinking" - Albert Einstein

Runaway success is never based on incremental improvement. I know this is a very bold statement, but bold statements and even bolder results are what breakthroughs are all about. What about in your company - what would constitute a breakthrough? Would you like to increase overall productivity by 40%? Of course you would! But ... (Read All)

Entity Structuring

Wed, 12 Apr 2006 00:00:00 +0100

Entity structuring is the use of limited partnerships, limited liabilities, and corporations. These can help you accomplish three things:
1. Bullet-proofing your assets so that the bad guys are worse of if they try and take them away from you.
2. Slashing your taxes so that they are within single digits.
3. Protecting your privacy and building lasting wealth.

The demand for leadership talent greatly exceeds supply. If economic growth continues at a modest 2 percent for the next 15 years, there would be a need for one-third more senior leaders than there are today.

Creating Blissness From Your Business: Living In Rhythm With Your Heart And Soul

Mon, 17 Apr 2006 00:00:00 +0100

The word blissness came to me as a result of a challenge issued to me by my creativity coach. She was praising me on the progress I?d made in my fledgling business. I actually shuddered when she said the word "business," as it conjured up images of women in austere dark suits clutching heavy briefcases, sitting in endless boring meetings and never having time to do what they really wanted to do.

My coach suggested that if I didn?t like the word business, to think of a different word to c... (Read All)

The Vital Few

Mon, 17 Apr 2006 00:00:00 +0100

Back in the 19th century, an Italian economist quantified the general relationship between a minority of producers and a majority of output. Sound familiar? The simplified version of Vilfredo Pareto's ratio, known as the 80/20 rule or the Pareto Principle, says that in most cases, 80% of production comes from 20% of producers.

Quality guru J.M. Juran referred to Pareto's principle as "The Vital Few and the Trivial Many". If you are running a company, the 80/20 rule has powerful implicati... (Read All)

Tracking For Profits

Mon, 17 Apr 2006 00:00:00 +0100

If you can't track it, don't do it.

Every high-performance venture needs a tracking system. A tracking system with well-designed metrics lets everyone know how well they are doing relative to their commitments. It is a guide to whether additional or extraordinary actions need to be taken.

It is one of the first things I set up with my business coaching clients because without a clear set of objective metrics it is hard for people to be clear about their results.

Redeeming Joy at Work

Wed, 19 Apr 2006 00:00:00 +0100

Like much of the world, work has fallen into the hands of corruption, yet I believe work can be redeemed; we need to simply know the truths of the bible on how to restore joy at work. Many people see work as mundane, drudgery, burdensome, rather than full of joy. God had joy in Genesis where countless times He looked upon His work, His creation and said it is good and very good. Work is a gift from God. Let me share with you Godâs work commissioning for mankind. Genesis 26:27-28 27So God creat... (Read All)

Elephant in the Room

Wed, 19 Apr 2006 00:00:00 +0100

It is in the room and everybody knows it, yet nobody is doing or saying anything about it. What is it? It is the elephant topic that is âoff limitsâ. These untouchable elephants are the work of a leadership team that is lacking the courage to face some issues head on. It makes maneuvering around the elephant a chore for everyone causing distress and angst that saps productivity out of your organization. Corporate politics has a direct impact on people and their productivity. The elephant exi... (Read All)

Turn Your Hobby Into A Successful Business (With Minimal Investment!)

Fri, 21 Apr 2006 00:00:00 +0100

Many of the world?s most successful businesses began as a hobby. Probably the most popular company that actually began as a hobby is the major online auction site of Ebay. Other well known companies that were hobbies first include Dell Computers, Famous Amos Cookies, and Wendy?s.
