Making Your Goals Count in 2009

As we enter into this New Year we all tend to have a heightened sense of the opportunities and possibilities that 2009 can bring. The need for goal-setting becomes more obvious and clear. And the great thing about goal-setting is you can keep it as simple or get as elaborate as you would like...

20 Tips for a Positive New Year

Whcih ones will you use?

No other aspect can be as important as this:

ACTION!

Here's a list of important questions and answers regarding action...


Are You Committed To Your Success?

Are you committed to succeed? That's right. Think about that question. Are you committed to succeed?

Very often by asking people, "How many of you are committed to succeed?"  Very often not many people put up their hands. Only a couple. But what I found out in life is this, in life only five percent of people I've met, are truly committed to get the results they want in life, and are truly committed to succeed.

In order to get what you want, you must first decide what you want.

Most people really foul up at this crucial first step because they simply can't see how it's possible to get what they want -- so they don't even let themselves want it.

What scientists now know about how the brain works is that you must first decide the 'WHAT' before your brain can figure out the 'HOW'. Once you lock-in your desires, your mind and the universe can step in.

Are you ready to get started?

PLAN YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS

The planning phase is very important in organizing your thoughts to carry out the desired effects.

You might say that this is boring stuff, but you should never underestimate this process. This is like a guideline to steer you into the right direction.


If it is so easy to achieve success, set goals, create a strategy, take action; and if you don't get what you want, you just change your strategy until you get what you want.

If that is all there is to succeed, why isn't everybody doing this?

How does a fundamentally shy person succeed in business? Most people don't percieve me as shy, but I started out being introverted. I get along pretty well with people at work, and I'm fine in one-on-one situations. But I don't say much at team meetings, and still have no clue how to give effective speeches/presentations. Still can't be in group situations professionally without feeling attacks of paralyzing gut-level fear. What do you think I can do about it?

Radical innovation is going to be a critical component in a leader's toolkit in the future, and this does not mean that you "try to innovate" over a week-end brainstorming retreat.

Strategies For Leading Through Change

I need to make a change in my company…How do I do it, and how do I manage it? This is a question I hear from business leaders every day... yet the question often comes to me after the fact... when people are up in arms and ready to bolt. A change can be something as simple as new stationery or as tumultuous as a merger or acquisition, and while the change is often seen by top leadership as necessary to move ahead of aggressive competitors, this is not always the case for employees. Why? I believe the answer is this - Your employees are not angry about the change itself... they are angry because they are often the last to hear, you did not get their buy-in, their vote didn't count , and bam... Trust is shattered!"
