Santini Self-Development Enterprises--Luciano The Key Santini

 Good morning and well friends I must apologize to you for not posting on Saturday as usual but there is a reason why which I will share a bit of. You see I was promoted in my organization and well I had to go and check out my new office in a different city and so I had to travel out and see it  and that was why HUH? Yes that was a good reason in my mind and yet I feel that I should have written first and then gone to check out the city because that would have been the right thing to do.

I also found out that hey! no one is perfect and so I cut myself some slack and went easy on myself because I was being to hard on myself. I was being far to demanding on myself and my family and my time of which I manage pretty well. 

I have to be honest I was trying to hard to convince myself of how good I really am at what I do and so I asked my wife to sit with ,me and tell me why I was being so demanding to the point where I was grumpy to those around me.

She stated to me something very important which made sense to me anyway. She stated that sometimes we as humans take the easy way out meaning that when we make mistakes we blame others and not take responsibility for our own actions and I said WOW so true and so I took responsibility for my own action and guess what? 

I realized that I was fine LOL The truth was that I was blaming my trip of which I arranged so the reality is I should have written my blog the night before and set it up to be published Saturday morning but I did not and that is why I apologized to you my friends and readers and to my family YAy I did it!!.

 BUSINESS

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN EITHER AN INDIVIDUAL OR A BUSINESS SETS GOALS THAT ARE TO LARGE AND SEEM TO LARGE TO ACCOMPLISH FROM THE VERY BEGINNING?

Yes they are all capitals because I want to make a strong point and perhaps you know this but just in case you do not. What happens can really hurt your business or you as a person because you are setting yourself foe failure. You will loose money in a business and you will hurt your ego and your self esteem as an individual.

Here is a great example of what I am talking about my friends. I love Napoleon Hill and have been studying his words and writings for the last 14 years;



 A rudderless ship and a purposeless person are eventually stranded on desert sand.
The goals you set for yourself — like the rudder of a ship — will guide you toward your destination, and without them, like a ship without a rudder, you’ll find it impossible to stay the course. Make goal-setting a habit in your life. If you sometimes have trouble staying focused, set small, attainable goals and stick with the job until it’s done. 


Examples might include finding a faster, more efficient way to do a routine job. Or taking the most difficult jobs first when you have the most energy and your concentration is at its highest level. Save the easiest jobs for last. A few small successes will inevitably lead to bigger achievements.

"Sometimes To Care About Someone Is Not An Easy Task To Tell Them The Truth Is Even More Difficult Be In Business Or A Relationship"-Luciano The Key Santini --Santini Self-Development Enterprises

"Sometimes To Care About Someone Is Not An Easy Task To Tell Them The Truth Is Even More Difficult Be In Business Or A Relationship"-Luciano The Key Santini


Good morning my friends around the world. How are we doing today YAY!! it is Friday. Have you ever had to use a scare tactic to help a friends to see where their lives are going?

I believe that sometimes scare tactics are the best way to help people avoid failure and regret. 
I believe that if you are a friend who really cares about another person you should do if possible get them to see their lives from a different perspective. People will tell you that they are your friends but when your best interest  is not looked out for then you should ask yourself the questions is this person really a friend or a user.


Depending on this person you should either walk away from them and never look back or cherish their friendship.

If you want to do a great job in a position and be respected then you must have or build up your skills to offer a return on investment --Luciano The Key Santini


If you want to do a great job in a position and be respected then you must have or build up your skills to offer a return on investment --Luciano The key Santini


I wrote this quote because I have experienced something lately that I thought did not exists and WOW I was surprised on how certain individuals will get by doing or using other peoples talents. I had heard of issues and situations like these but to experience it first hand was amazing. This is why most businesses private or non-profit will fail.

This quote is worth repeating:
 If you want to do a great job in a position and be respected then you must have or build up your skills to offer a return on investment --Luciano The key Santini

I call this the art of manipulating and using people. I have worked so hard at learning and teaching my skills to others so they can give something to the world and to those around them. I have been amazed after watching these individuals get by and really offering nothing to their staff members.

My suggestion to them is to learn to follow and to learn from people and ask for help when needed and not  ignore the obvious  which is if you do not know something understand that you do not know what you do not know and accept it.

"When We Know Ourselves And Are Honest Then We Can Make The Change That Is Needed To Find Our Passion"--Luciano Santini

 "When We Know Ourselves And Are Honest Then We Can Make The Change That Is Needed To Find Our Passion"--Luciano Santini

Good morning everyone my friends. Today is Saturday and well I am feeling wonderful and thankful and grateful for all of the great things in my life which include you my readers who are truly appreciated and of course my family. I woke up this morning and searching for a good way of starting my weekend and well I came up with the following;

I felt that I needed to tell everyone that we need to realize just how much influence we truly have with everyone around us. Do you realize that if are in a bad mood people around you will change  and also join you in your misery. So today my friends if you are feeling happy about anything in your life please do not be afraid to share it with those you love and just friends will be a great way too start the weekend.




 BUSINESS CORNER

Let me start with a questions for you. What is business and how economics affects it?
Well we know that a business as a commerce is the where people can produce and exchange services or products. It is also a place where it allows individuals to create a valuable product or a valuable service.

Yes the economy will always an affect on your business but you see this also where an owner or a managers and leaders either in the business itself or politically should know when to make changes and sometimes the changes can be pretty drastic.  

Either need to know when the changes need to happen before the business begins to falter and wait till it is to late and you have to fire your employees or have to close the doors. They need too know when to reach out for help if that is what they need to survive. 

The problem with waiting  and the searching for help is when more money can be lost because think about this,you bring in a coach or a consultant and your business is so far gone and yet you are expecting a miracle and guess what rarely does it happen. When it does not happen well you loose more money.



Some major issues that are coming or already might be here are: 

TAXES- Business owners both small and large are still wondering what the tax cuts will bring and mean to both owners and consumers. Less money less spending.

What about finding the right people for the right positions. Is there such a thing as a shortage of skilled employees of course there is. Take a look at the factory and manufacturing jobs. The manufacturing corporations both small and large are having a difficult time finding skilled employees to fill their positions because they need skilled and trained people and well they are hard to find. 



One of the main reason is because they are computers that are being used or in other words technology is taking over and most of the skilled workers are missing this component to the equation in their job search thus for not getting hired due to lack of experience with technology.



 
 Too much truth will make some people madder than too little.

School children sometimes play a game called “Honesty.” The rules are simple: For a designated period of time, the participants must tell the truth regardless of the subject. They then ask each other leading questions such as, “Do you like my hair?” “Do you think Lindsay is cute?” Inevitably someone gets angry when he or she discovers that these friends had been shading the truth, telling “little white lies,” to spare the person’s feelings. Even when the game is over, its lessons are not soon forgotten. Being honest with others doesn’t mean being brutal. It isn’t necessary to tell people everything you don’t like about them under the guise of being frank with them “for their own good.” Sometimes it’s better if we don’t know every person’s innermost feelings about us. Respect for another’s self-esteem often means telling them too little truth instead of too much.

Learning to manage correctly --Santini-Self Development Enterprises--Luciano The Key Santini




Good morning everyone and I have to talk about bosses and what they do when they cannot face problematic employees and instead they hide behind their positions and let the employee run wild causing chaos and they turn the other way and pretend it does not happen and ignore the real issue which is their own fears on facing conflict.

Companies that let poor performance continue will upset the entire office or company. This type of behavior will push good employees away and will eventually stop doing a great job and will hurt clients.Top employees will leave or ask to be moved to another department to work under another supervisor that can actually do their job.



The solution:  You set a time to meed with the individual and bring up the issue which can be poor performance or whatever the issue might be. As a boss you must approach them with  a calm attitude and a smile. The boss must bring a solution and stick with it and not change it during the conversation. One or two thing will happen they will improve or move on to better things and leave the company..

 
Most managers instead hide behind their position's because they have no idea what they are doing or how to do it. They will also use others to get ahead and climb the corporate ladder making false promises to the people that can probably do a better job in the position they hold.

Leave me your comments if you have ever experienced this type of issue.

Integration and Grudges by Santini-Self Development Enterprises

"You Must Be Ambitious In Life To Have What You Want And Have The Burning Fire To Beat The Odds"--Luciano The Key Santini

Good morning my friends and it is a beautiful Saturday morning. I am about to brew some fresh coffee and start to write some great stuff for you to talk to your friends about and simply to think about as a business owner and individual.Let us go ahead and get started.

Hove you ever held a grudge? I am sure you have we all have and those that tell you they never have well they must be special. But let us assume that you have or you know a friend that does. What can this type of behavior do to your well being and psyche? Well this will continue to make your mind wonder how to get even with him/her or them which in turn into negativity. 



I do not about you but for me personally I found that when you carry a grudge for anyone it will eat at you inside and your mind becomes very cloudy and can hinder your way of thinking and the way you look at your future and as a person.

You will waste important space in your mind and in your heart. Get it out of mind and out of sight and this will allow you to receive the wants you  have been waiting for. You must allow the positive become your sword toward victory for life and your heart.Let it go let leave your mind and live a much better life and give your positive energy that you create to those you love and care about.



BUSINESS TALK

I found this quote in my email which is true and pretty cool if you understand the logistics behind it;
On average, one in a hundred cold calls will turn into a sale. When calling referrals, eight out of ten will turn into sales. Where are you spending your time? Hilton Johnson,Coach Trainer

Let us talk a bit about integration and what it means.
  • Integration is the final stage of coming together of parts into which a whole is divided.
Integration is the joint functioning of all the parts of a whole for the highest possible efficiency. 
What does this mean to you as a small business or a large business let us see.
If you have strong leaders they must focus on bringing  as many employees to believe in the mission of your company and make everyone achieve their capabilities as an organization and not as an individual.



 It will be an effort since so many will resist. Managers and employees alike must become flexible to the changes in technology and so many will resist the change and thus for changes must be made possible by  management either in management itself or employees. The changes that will take place as slow as they may be are to give your customers what they need and want.

What most manager fail in understanding is that by creating an integration process and putting in into play it will  improve both employee and customer relations.Most businesses small or large for profit or non-profit face similar issues and challenges such as cost cutting, running business more efficiently and of course the big one limited resources. 

 The main thing that needs to happen is to have an establishes channel of communication between management and employees and get a better understanding of how the organization works as a whole and how it can improve if all believe and understand the need for integration.

In order for integration to work everyone employees and management sometimes need to reorganize the entire company or one department at a time in order to respond to the needs of the customers.

The Race To Win That Prize Is To Live Life In The Now And Not In The Past"--Luciano The Key Santini

Hello my friends and today we will talk about self-esteem and what does it really mean to an individual.
Self esteem is something that we all and notice I stated we all because we all have self esteem issues. You might say that you do not but trust me when we sit down and really think about it yea we do!!


We all need to realize one thing and that is to know yourself and believe that you can accomplish anything you want in your life. You need to realize that what other think and believe about you well should not matter.
We-YOU!! have the potential to get and have what ever it is that you are looking to accomplish today believe me today!!.

"The Race To Win That Prize Is To Live Life In The Now And Not In The Past"--Luciano The Key Santini

Self -Esteem is one of those nagging issues that really never ever goes a way. We can say to ourselves and lie to ourselves that we do not have a self-esteem issue but the truth is we do. Ye s do not misunderstand me some individuals have it worse than others no doubt about that. So i guess the big question is what do we do about it huh?.

Well for one we need to have a better perception of what and how we look and think of ourselves that is number one. Guess what we can search for all the help we want and perhaps we might get some short term help but then what back to square one. My friends it is all in your mind and how you look at the world around you and how you perceive  the world and others.


You must have a strong mind and a strong sense of belief about who you are or who you want to become. Read some books dream about the life you want and well go after it and do not let others try to stop because if you allow the negativity to enter your mind then you  have been defeated!!.

You live in the now not the past, You must believe that you are a true champion and that you will win that prize you have been so long awaiting for.

Set Yourself Up With A Positive Mental Attitude And Be Different--Luciano The Key Santini

Your Personal And Business Solutions Provider

Good morning my friends; Here we are on a beautiful Saturday and looking outside and the sun looks beautiful across the sky. Here we are and today we will talk about business.
Do you know when your business fails or is failing of course you do because you can see it failing before your eyes but what do you do at this point or when it is happening?
How about when your business is a success of course you know because again you see it before your eyes and the amount of customers.


How about when your business falls in between the failure and the success? Does this make you happy that you have a fail\success business and what does this mean. It is called the trap of the halfway mark meaning that you are in the middle of failure or success. The key is to never get stuck in the halfway trap mark.
The key to this is to never give up and never take what you think is the best for your business. What you do is to never quit but to go after what you feel deserve.

Now to the good stuff; Most business owners begin to fail more so when they start to see their business failing or when there is no customers coming in to the establishment. You see and must understand that most business owners if they are caught between the trap they will simply adapt to the changes and stay stuck and live below their expectations to live and meet their business under performance.


How do get out of the trap; 
First you need to be able to understand and see the trap when you start to get there. Second listen to both internal and external clients. You need to get rid of the internal clients that may be hurting business. I always train my client that when there is an issue and you know who or where the issue is then try to take care of it but if all fails then you must let the issue go and get rid of that problem.

You see you have to remember your original dreams and stop listening to the average business owners who tell you and try to explain  to you regarding the economy because they are stuck in the trap and have adapted to their under performance-NOT YOU!!! because you will not stay stuck and you will remember your dream about your business and why you started it in the first place which was to be successful!!

As always today it is only business but as always I have to give the Napoleon Hill Thoughts which always help me think and re-think:

 
Before trying to master others, be sure you are the master of yourself.
When you develop a Positive Mental Attitude, you immediately set yourself apart from the crowd. You become a leader because positive thinking leads to positive action, while negative thinking leads to apathy and inaction. When you take the initiative in any situation, others will follow simply because they like to associate with people who know where they are going. In order to lead, however, you must first be willing to discipline yourself. The first rule of leadership is never to ask others to do what you are unwilling to do yourself. You can lead only by example. Being a leader requires you to work harder and longer than the others and proving you are the master of your own destiny.
