Powerful Plan for Peak Performance

Success comes to those who have a strong will to succeed, a vision of what they want and finally a plan to guide them to get it. Does that sound really simple and easy to do, well it really is. The challenge you face though, is that as easy as it is to do, so easy is it not to do. It is really easy to invest the time to create a crystal clear vision for the future, build an action plan to get you there and then to act on the plan daily.

If not You – Then Who?

Most people believe that there is something lacking in their lives, they either have a lack of money, romance, success or joy that is holding them away from discovering true happiness, meaning and fulfillment. The key to changing this is to accept that greatness exists in all of us and that all you have to do is look inside yourself and find a way to pull that greatness out. You truly are magnificent, believe it and the abundance which is all around, will become available to you.

Live in the Now, Learn from the Past and Create a Wonderful Future

All you really possess is right now, the past is gone forever and is only a distant memory and the future only exists as an idea or electrical charge in your mind. So if you consistently live your life looking in the rear-view mirror, living with regret for what could or should have been. You are wasting the value of every moment to be content and fulfilled. Similarly if you constantly live, gazing into the future, conce ed about what may be, you never get to use your most valuable possession, namely every “NOW” to live, love and laugh.

Turn Knowledge into, Your New Success Habit set

The images you see in your mind, when you think about any of these classics are stuck with you for life.

Now we have started the believing – It is time to start the achieving

I have studied a number of very successful people around the world and based on my research I have discovered an effective formula for inviting similar levels of success into your own life. The first thing which stood out for me amongst the super achievers I studied was their 100 % acceptance, of the fact that, if they were to be successful it was completely up to them.

Always Give First

If you want to become successful this year, it is crucial that you load both barrels, one with service and the other with purpose. This will equip you with sufficient passion and purpose to be driven, to really want to support your customers and to offer them incredible levels of service. The more committed you are to providing stellar service and the better prepared you are for each sales call, i.e. you have a crystal clear purpose or reason why you are calling on any prospect or customer.

Schedule Time Every Day To Carry Out Your Goal Specific Priorities

We are nearing the middle of the year. How are you doing with the goals you set for yourself at the beginning of the year? Remember what Anthony Robbins said, “We often overestimate what we can achieve in a year and significantly underestimate all we can achieve in a decade”. If you are not achieving all the goals you set for yourself at the beginning of the year, it is most certainly not time to give up, it is time to take a longer term view of your goals. Keep chipping away every day, stay focused, review the actions you are taking, are they delivering the results you want?

You can Change the World, You See in 2013

Is there one universe, in which we all live in one world, where we all get to experience the same reality? I do not believe so, I believe that we all get to experience our own form of reality, where everything we see as “our reality”, is filtered by our perception filters, through which we view our world. There are no two people on this planet that are the same, even twins, have different experiences and perceptive backgrounds and thus live a different reality.

The People you Surround yourself with, Mirror who you are

One of the major factors, which can limit your potential and hold you away from realising your dreams, is the opinions of other people. The secret to succeed and become all you can be is to live independently of the good opinion of other people. No one else’s opinion matters at all and in many cases the opinions, which are being expressed are coming from a place of insecurity on the part of the person expressing the opinion. They want to express their own insecurities and lack of determination, so that they can hobble you and your dreams.

Can a Productivity Routine Improve your Efficiency and Effectiveness?

I am sure that you are in a similar place to everyone else, where you feel like you are trapped on a daily treadmill, which does not seem to really go anywhere. All that seems to happen is that the treadmill speeds up and occasionally slows down, every day. You feel like you are really working hard, but you never seem to have enough time to make those crucial changes you want in your life or to spend with your family. You arrive home exhausted every day, not feeling fulfilled or you feel like you have not really managed to achieve anything meaningful each day.

Do You Know What You Really Want and Do you Believe You Can Have It?

When you walk into a dark room, you simply reach across, press the light switch on and the darkness disappears. Do you need to attend a motivational talk to inspire you to press the light switch, or do you procrastinate and contemplate the task, before you actually press the switch? No, you just press the light switch. I know this is a simplistic example, but what it illustrates, is the principal that, if you believe with absolute certainty that any activity will result in the outcome you desire.

Are you Really Serious about Inviting Success into Your Life?

As long as you view the effort and daily activity required, to invite success into your life as a chore or something undesirable, you will never have the ability to overcome all the inevitable challenges, which will cross your path. You will never have the energy, patience and persistence necessary to succeed, if you continue to view success as a possible option for you. If you continue to do this, you are doomed to fail before you even start. Whose responsibility is Success Anyway?r

Happiness is an Inside Job

Is happiness something out there over which you exert no control at all? Can it be that happiness is something elusive and difficult to find or is it just that you just don’t know how easy it actually is to be happy. Could it be that you don’t accept that happiness is a choice, instead you believe that it is something, which is dependent on extrinsic factors, over which you exert no or very little control at all. Happiness is there for the taking, if you stop looking outside of yourself for meaning, fulfilment and joy.

Are you learning from the Top Sales Performers in Your Organisation?

I find it astounding that the same sales professionals achieve the top sales results, year after year, whilst others sit back and wonder how they could achieve similar results themselves. When I work with sales teams, I ask one simple question. I ask them if they know who the top three sales people are in their organisation. The answers I get vary from I have no idea, to some people who have a pretty good idea, but they are not 100 % certain.

Living a Life of Meaning and Purpose

The quality and meaning you get to enjoy in your life, is never measured by the size of your paycheque or the type and size of your motor vehicle or even whether you have managed to accumulate one million dollars in cash in the bank. The ultimate measure of anyone’s life is in the fulfilment they get to live and how much meaning they see in what they get to do every day. How you enjoy meaning and see fulfillment is unique to you and your specific circumstances. You unique set of circumstances will dictate what constitutes either to you.

You Can Never Exceed Your Own Expectations

Regardless of your age, gender, ethnicity or even how big or small your dreams may be, self-confidence and self-esteem, coupled with a healthy dose of belief in your potential, are the crucial ingredients for inviting any level of sales success into your experience. No matter how amazing the product or services you are selling may be, you are ostensibly selling yourself. People buy the full value proposition, which obviously includes the products and services, but most importantly they buy the value you the sales professional ads to the offering.

Spread your Grace and Blessings Freely

Almost everyone I have met wants to make a difference during their lifetimes, to leave some sort of a legacy after they have completed their last revolution around the sun. Making a difference is not just about volunteering to assist people, who come from a less advantaged background than you do. If you want to begin making a real difference, it is time to shift your thinking away from seeing making a difference as an event or something you must do. Make the shift today and start to see, making a difference, as a new way of being. See it as a new way of conducting yourself.

Should we Listen and Learn from the Feedback we Receive from our World

All the actions we take or fail to take every day result in one outcome or another. Some of the outcomes, which we enjoy, are aligned with our needs and expectations and others are not. So in a very simplistic fashion, all we really encounter every day are events. They neither have a positive or a negative, meaning to us, until we give them meaning.

The driver in pole position starts in the front of the race and does not need to work to try to pass anyone else during the race. He simply needs to hold his position and he or she will win the race.

The secret to success is not found by trying to shout louder than everyone else out there.

Great Leaders are not Served By Others, They serve the People They Lead

Great Leaders are adept at treating their people really well and always give credit to their team members when they do well. The best type of leader is someone who gives credit to his team members when the team achieves great success, but is quick to accept responsibility, when the team performs below expectations. One person can never take credit for the success of any team; it takes the input of many to create a successful team or organisation. Any leader, who tries to claim credit and act as the top dog, can never create an environment where people are loyal to them.

As you change the way you treat people and you begin to show people how you want to be treated, almost as if by magic, everyone around you will begin to treat you differently.

Is Rejection Real or Not?

One of our greatest fears and the reason most people do not ask the questions they need to ask in order to succeed, is our irrational fear of rejection. We are so terrified by the prospect of someone not accepting our request, that in most cases the most important questions go unasked. This leaves us trapped in lives, which may be less than satisfying. Yet the prospect of asking someone, who we know could mentor us and support our growth, is so daunting, that we never ask the question.

The real measure of who we can eventually become, has nothing to do what happens to us, but is measured by how we choose to respond to these events, which occurred in our lives.
