This is an ever-expanding list so you might want to bookmark this page (Ctrl + D)and revisit ... everyday of your life? You could develop worse habits.
Enjoy...The List:
Example: "As manager, my main duties are to...."
It won't take more than 5 minutes, but it can end up paying huge rewards.
Successful people plan for success. Here's how to join them tomorrow: When you wake up in the morning, do whatever it is you do - but before you leave your room - make a list of what you expect to do for your business that day. Even if it might be "get closer to knowing about X" - make your plan everyday, and after a month - see how far you've come. You're likely to find that you'll make more progress in a month of planning, than 3 months without.
(I have to be honest: I really enjoyed coming up with this [above] quote.)
- A good leader knows how to make decisions on his or her own, but a great leader can take input from many people or sources - and without feeling pressure to please someone else - uses that information to come to the best decision possible.
- New Ideas are as abundant as A I R. So if you see your idea implemented by someone else before you - just take notes on how they succeeded and prepare for your next one. With that attitude, it'll come right to you.
- Whenever you're driving somewhere, you have the destination in mind. But during your drive you hit markers, you see points along the way that show you that you're headed in the right direction. You know that you'll get there eventually. Do the same thing with your business goals by setting milestones or stepping stones along the way. Break them up as small as you want - and as long as you hit the small ones you can feel comfortably reassured that the big goal is inevitable. Feel good on your journey, by setting milestones.
- There is so much success on so many levels in this world - that to feel bad about something that isn't working would be an incredible waste of time. It takes 3 seconds to define a problem now spend 99% of your time drumming up solutions - being creative and playing with it. That's how problems get solved. That's how inventions are born.
- The power of perspective is undeniable. Your perspective on things shapes your reactions and determines the results. Exercise holding different perspectives to keep your mind limber so you don't crust up from stagnation. Here's how: Try to honestly say this sentence at least once, everyday of your life: "Well, I've never done that before." New experiences. New perspectives. New results.
- Just as your company has a mission statement, your life should have one too. Benjamin Franklin made a list of all the qualities he thought were ideal and graded himself on a daily or weekly basis as to how well he did. Be you, but be the BEST you by giving your life a mission and accomplishing it on a daily basis. That's Integrity.
- An Entrepreneur is someone who knows his craft, creatively applies it, and masters it again and again with the understanding that things are always changing.
A basketball player or pianist can be an entrepreneur just as much as a business owner. Whatever you choose to be - be ENTREPRENEURIAL about it.
- Every time you criticize, you miss another opportunity to gain something: A great idea, a fun experience, a meaningful relationship. And anyway - it feels better to think well of someone. It feels MUCH better.
- People look down on "changing your mind" in politics, business, and other areas too - but life is like a spiral: You'll revisit many of the same topics over and over again but each time you do, you'll be at a different height. You'll have a new perspective. Because you are in a state....of perpetual change.
That's why when you develop too many routines - you struggle against the natural rhythms of life. Don't be afraid to make changes. Relax into that idea.
- You aren't not the only person who can't not stop you. (The only original way to say: You're the only one who can stop you.)
- You can 'Reset' a bad day by meditating with the intention of feeling great - or if meditation still sounds strange to you - take a 20 minute catnap with the same intention. Be in silence or use something soothing if that will boost the experience for you. No more stubbing your toe through the day. Press Reset.
- "All emotions are pain." -Buddha.
See. Experts aren't always right. It's a learning process that never ends so enjoy where you are NOW.
- Have you ever noticed that when you get lost, 1 mile can seem like 10? Each step is unenjoyable when you don't know if it's leading to your destination. But when you know you're going the right way you can relax and enjoy the drive. 10 miles feel like 1.
If you don't set milestones along the way to your goal, then you'll never know IF you're moving toward it, how CLOSE you are to it, and you won't continue on that path for very long.
Set Milestones.
- When you expect the best in people, you draw that from them. Do your partners, your workers, and your business a favor by expecting them to perform at their best.
If you catch yourself muttering their incompetencies correct your mental dialogue. Don't set-up those negative expectations or you'll create a cycle that will be more difficult to turn around.
Start a POSITIVE mental dialogue about everyone you work with. It may seem forced at first, but soon it becomes a fantastic habit. Watch how people change.
- Money gets a bad rap. People blame it for this problem, that one, and the other. Meanwhile it shelters, clothes, and feeds billions of people.
If you get an idea that you think will make a ton of money and the idea of that MONEY gets you excited - well that's as good a reason as any to start a business.
Base it on EXCITEMENT. Work it on EXCITEMENT. EXCITEMENT is a great feeling.
- Take a notepad and a pen, and go somewhere new. When you get there - get comfortable and think about some aspect of your business.
The 'newness' will penetrate everything: Your eyes, your sense of smell, your ears - even your thoughts.Want new ideas?
Go somewhere new.
- Why is it when someone really, really wants something, they rarely ever get it?
Because when people want something so badly, they usually feel badly when they think of it. And when they feel badly, for whatever reason, their thinking about it is 'off' and so their strategy, their plan, their actions - everything is offcourse.
That's why when people give up - that can be right when it shows up. When everything relaxes, your whole being is more efficient.
Maybe you need to EASE UP to succeed.
- 24 hours in a day. Thousands of thoughts. Have you ever wondered how many feel bad VS. how many feel good?
How many are: Ouch, my knee again. Who was stabbed to death? Why are they talking like that? This service is snail-like. Something ELSE is broken?
How many are: Wow - that's a great smell. He made HOW MUCH from his business? I'm good at this - that's a fact. LOOK at that car, or the moon, or the stars, or the flowers etc....
DO tip the balance to 52% good - and WATCH what happens in your life.
- Don't let anyone fool you into believing that you are dependent on someone else. You ARE Independent.
Never miss an opportunity to see it in yourself because the feeling of Independence creates Confidence.
When you feel Independent, and then you feel Confident - you will very soon EXPERIENCE success.
- The sooner you realize that what you think about and talk about is what you later experience - the sooner you can purposefully think and talk about the things you want.
Find like-minded people and bounce that energy around on a regular basis.
Take some mental action towards the things you want.
- Each one of your days should inclue:
PLAY. WORK. REST.
(Sometimes work IS play.)
Notice that when you're missing one of these from your day - there's "something missing."
Prioritize your work schedule but make sure you include some Fun and some Rest.
Include these 3 essentials to Enjoy more of Your Day.
- Change is Natural, Constant, and Permanent - accept it and flow with it. Personal lives and companies that struggle against it quickly dis-integrate, they fall apart.
Ride the Waves. Don't stand in front of them.
- It's been said that "Applied knoweldge is power." But it's not. Applying your knowledge of riding a bike when you're rollerblading will not help you feel power.
PROPERLY applied knowledge is power.
Sometimes you already have all the tools you need - you just need to tweak the way you're using your knowledge.
Look for ways to rearrange what you already know. New applications will yield new results.
- Practice FEELING like a success a little bit each day.
Get used to it.
Slowly make it your dominant feeling because from that state of mind you'll take different actions, draw new people into your life, open or reopen doors that will lead you - to the success that at one time seemed so elusive.
- Get used to it: There will always be improvements to be made. There will always be a newer, better way to do it. There will always be a new, more efficient skill.
This is a GOOD thing because you don't ever have to feel down about running out of ideas, or being 'blocked', or being held back.
There is ALWAYS potential for 'better'.
Now - knowing that EVERYTHING can be improved upon - what ideas do YOU have? Or have you already found one?
- Your emotions don't come from others - they only come in response to your own thoughts. And when you feel good - that means you're moving in the direction of all you want. When you feel bad - you're moving away from everything you've ever wanted.
Learn these 3 principles. Master them, and you will have mastered life.
- Don't put too much stock into "the rules". If you're going after a certain position within a business, or a school, or trying to form a partnership with a different company - Rules need not apply to you if you KNOW you want something and you KNOW it will be good for you.
This isn't about lying. It's about those times where you didn't take action for something you wanted because you thought it didn't follow 'social rules' or 'partnership rules' or 'hiring guidelines'.
People want to support and be around others who are passionate. And sometimes...breaking the rules is the best way to your goal.
- The athlete spends most of his time focusing, visualizing - because most of the time he trains with an imaginary opponent.
Being an Entrepreneur it's easy to forget about the value of training and visualizing because you get wrapped up in the day-to-day activities.
As you watch the Olympians these few weeks notice the focus that continues right up until the moment of action.
Want a Gold Medal in your business?
Apply that very same principle.
- You're at your best when you KNOW what you're doing because you put out an authentic energy that people pick up on and respond to.
Conmen are great focusers because the good ones believe the lie and emit that magnetic, authentic energy.
KNOW that you can sell it, make it, or do it OR regularly practice what knowing feels like. Soon after you know it - you experience it.
- If you work really hard and accomplish very little - while other people play games and accomplish very much (financially speaking) - then 'Hard Work' DOES NOT EQUAL 'Success'.
Doesn't that make you think?
There's a system for achieving everything. So if not 'hard work' - what could it be?
- If you feel like you're stuck - try doing less but on a more consistent basis. Most people throw in the towel just before they have a breakthrough and it's because they put in 'so much effort' and weren't able to expend that amount of energy long enough.
Watch how quickly small deposits add up when you put more emphasis on consistency and quality rather than quantity.
Usain Bolt did what had never been done before in the history of the Olympics. Did you notice his attitude?
Even seconds before the race bgan he was smiling and playing.
It is never an angry or frustrated person who breaks the record or takes home Gold.
Take a hint.
- Changing your beliefs about something you want can be one of the hardest things you do - but once you accomplish it - that thing you want comes to you effortlessly.
- Do you realize as you're going for an Interview, trying to Win a Client, or sitting down in a Negotiation that the IMAGE you project is as important as the content of what you say?
- You know your energy is in the right place when it comes easily, and so you know when you need to do some thought-tweaking when you're struggling.
It's not OK, and it's not normal to struggle - and it's NOT someone else's fault.
You Control YOU. 100%.
- If there's something special about today then you can rest assured - there's a mattress sale.
If you can be as consistent as the mattress sheeple - you'll be successful.
- The More Life you Have Under your Belt, the More Adaptable You MUST Be.
Try to remain rigid and over time you'll notice how unpleasant things become.
True for You.
True for Your Business.
Life IS Change.
- When a mother lifts a car off her child, when someone finally lifts 500lbs. after centuries of impossibility and hundreds follow within weeks - Are these exceptions to rules?
Or can belief be that strong every time?
Do you question if you have any beliefs working against you?
Your perspective determines the questions you ask and therefore the answers you get. Find a new perspective on a situation you want to change.
Do you know of anyone who has gotten the change you want? What perspective did they have?
When you're in the middle of a hurricane and you want to find safety - you will likely find it - but really you've waited too long to start thinking about what you want and planning for it.
Plan ahead for everything you want and it will all go more smoothly for you.
- Cultivate the feeling of success. What can you do right now that would make you feel like:
"Yes - I AM a success. I am proud of what I do."
FEEL like a success more often and see the different decisions you make. Watch people respond to you differently.
- Bad people do bad things. You can feel like a victim about it or you can understand that everyone gets to get everything they want - you just need to understand how the world works.
Imagine it. Think about it often. Believe it. Expect it.Live it.
- The more decisions you make in each day about what you want - the less susceptible you are to being persuaded by others.
It's OK to not want to lead others, but you've got to lead yourself.
- There are many people who NEVER experience an "economic meltdown". THOSE are the ones you should turn to if you're feeling threatened. Not news agencies that only report about people doing the worst.
- Knowing you can do it always precedes doing it.
- If you could watch how a Small Thought that you keep thinking becomes a bigger thought -
Which soon turns into an Idea and then a Belief -
And then if you noticed how frequently you experienced that Belief -
You would know that anything you want is only a Small Thought away.
- Treat your career and how you interpret the economy as Cesar Millan would treat a dog: Project Calm, Assertive Energy. It Leads.
- Sometimes when you're attempting to focus on having more money - you come up with ways to use the money you already have more efficiently.
When you're really tapped-in to abundance - it shows up everywhere.
Don't fight taxes. Don't struggle with your boss. Just go after what you want
- How you express what you know is more important than how much you know.
- When things don't go smoothly you have the chance to gain a lot of credibility with people.
Mentally step out of the situation.
Handle it as you think any confident leader would, and Step into that role.
When things get better - people will remember that you were a source of strength.
- Being Driven is better than being Ambitious.
Ambition + Known Destination = Drive.
Be Driven.
- Get in the Habit of Forming New Habits.
That's how you Perfect the Skill of Adaptation, an Essential Component of Success.
- It's a good thing that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. That means once you start becoming wealthy - it gets easier and easier and easier.Just have to turn that corner.
- Many times you'll hear people say: "I don't know why I did that, but it worked." That's instinct.
Develop your instinct as often as you can.
Competition is a great way to engage your instincts. So is meditation. Start developing INSTINCT.
- Do nothing else but make a list of what you want in your perfect business and visit that vision for 10 minutes everyday. Soon you will see 'coincidences' starting to pop up.
THEN take action from that new place of confidence and watch how much faster you reach your goals.
- The moment you understand that you have complete and total control over your well-being no matter who is 'in charge' is the moment you become a Leader.
- One of the great things about the Internet in 2008 is that ANYONE IN THE WORLD can be your customer. Think of how much you know. Maybe you can expand your business.
- What you do isn't as important as how you do it. Get the energy of it right - and you won't need to worry about the words or action - that part will come naturally.
- What you do IS important on Black Friday.
Think Ahead.
Think Fast.
Act.
Save.
