Santini-Self Development Enterprises How Do We Act During A Real Life Crisis

Hello my friends,clients and all who read my blog. I started writing this blog and really try to bring humor and of course some really good business ideas and articles that may help your business or your person grow. This week has been a week of craziness is that a word craziness well yes I believe it is.

When thing get crazy and life begins to throw things at you that are really unexpected you go wow!! What do I do know? You tend to start to question yourself because sometimes things are not black and white. It is a funny thing when things begin to make sense but it is not so funny when the things that used to make sense start to not make sense then confusion sets in.

At this point you start to look for direction but there is no direction only confusion. This will be the time to sit and think up strategies to find a way to see the end result. This is the time find out where you are in life and where you want to go and be in the very near future.

How do we act in a real crisis situation? This is a great question for everyone is it not. You see we all act differently during a crisis or a situation that we have never dealt with in the past. The trick here though is to make sure that we do not panic and yes most people will panic in a state of crisis. 

What you need to do is take a few deep breaths and take a really good look at the situation and then look at it from different perspectives and take the best one and simply take action and if that one does not work then go to the next one but you have to stay calm and collected and then just make choices

Organizations are (sometimes) incapable of carrying out the strategies they have developed. Strategy is (too often) viewed as something that only senior managers and huge consultancies do behind closed doors. Strategy planning (often) takes place in a fantasy world, yet strategic action takes place in the real world. 

This fits right in with what I have been trying to make a point here.

A most beneficial use of time is silent meditation, while searching for guidance from within.

We all experience rare moments when a blinding revelation comes to us, when we suddenly see things differently than ever before. Usually, however, we learn the truth about ourselves gradually, over long periods of time, from quiet introspection. We are all spiritual, but some of us have learned to tap more effectively into the great strength that resides in the spiritual portion of ourselves. The spirit is not boisterous and noisy.

 Getting in touch with your spiritual self demands tranquility and solitude. Make sure you dedicate a portion of every day to thought and study, to think and reflect upon your life. Choose a time and place that best allow you to relax your mind and devote your thoughts to reflection.

Business and Strategies

Calling something “strategic” does not make it smarter. Only smart strategy is smart. Which leads to two important questions: Why don’t strategies (sometimes) work in the real world? And how can we make strategies work (more often) in the real world? by Max Mckeown

If you have ever been to Las Vegas It's difficult to find a clock in the Las Vegas casinos, because those casinos are designed to separate you from as much of your money as possible -- to make you a loser. And that is best done by dulling your sensitivity to the passing of time. The same principle applies to your business life. The surest way to be a loser is to be casual about time. By Dan Kennedy

I believe that when life gives us a situation that is out of our control seems to me that the only solution is to play along and come up with resolutions as we face each step along the way. The reason is because number one it is out of our control meaning we did not have any idea what was coming thus we must come up and think quickly on our feet and get our minds wrapped around the situation to be able to make a good or the best decision to resolve the situation.

If you have no idea what you want to achieve what do you think you will achieve--Luciano Santini

Good morning my friends and clients. This has been a great week. I have done some great speaking events that has given me the opportunity to create some great relationships.

 “The greatest thing about being in the speaking business is that it’s not over until you die”

This was a motivation speech on how to motivate your employees for the Economic Advisory Council in Santa Maria California. It was great turn out and the questions were awesome straight from business owners both small and large. To have such an array of people from different businesses and asking some questions that I had not ever thought of was an awesome experience and yes I am very grateful for giving me the opportunity to learn from them all.

If you don’t know what you want from life, what do you think you will get?
The great majority of people in the world drift through life, never realizing that their future will be the one they create for themselves. The minority who achieve great success are people who know what they want and have a plan for realizing their objectives. They know what they want and how they are going to get it. 

Your goals should be specific, they should be measurable, they should have a deadline for their achievement, and they should be divided into manageable pieces. Know exactly what you plan to achieve, when you plan to achieve it, and how. Review your progress regularly, correct your course when necessary, and never, ever give up. 

I spoke a bit about how to turn your dreams in to reality and how to bring them into your individual world so that you can begin to create them in front of your eyes. People still have to learn how to do just that. We as individuals believe we know it all. I find that when I challenge someone either in my personal life whether one of my children a friend or a perfect stranger I find that we believe we have it all figured out and guess what the world will figure us out before we figure the world out!!.

The great thing about understanding human behavior is that we are not all the same. We have different values some better than other and we do not come from the same cultures and we have different ideas of the world and what it should be.  As human beings we are strange and weird. people always tell me that I am somewhat weird and I sat WHAT!!! me no way and then I listen to my speeches and think to myself where in the world did that come from! I guess I am weird ha ha ha.

Let us talk about business. In business yes it is very important to keep your employees happy and create a culture they not only want to work in but want help create themselves and continue to create. Many owners believe that everyone they hire is a great hire WHEW!! I wish that was the case but the truth we make mistakes don't we and the answer is of course we make them all the time.

"The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities." - Stephen Covey 

Normally I do not like to say these things but today I believe we all need to hear it. The fact is, no one can do more than one thing at a time. Multi-tasking is a bunch of B.S. You can either choose to accept this or you can forever put yourself at the mercy of that "feeling" that tells you you should be getting MORE done at any one moment than you are. 

We have to understand this because if we do not we will end up in a mess. Learn to do one thing at a time but do it right so that you do not have to go back and re-do it again. If you have to go back again guess what you have been wasting your time HELLO.

Have you ever noticed how a person reacts to something that happens and comes out of nowhere? How do they react to the action or situation. Believe me I know what that feels like but I stay calm and collected and think before I react. I have seen many people loose it in different types of situations and I have to say that most of them have been pretty ugly, I guess the point that I am trying to make here is that when something pops up and puts you in an awkward position stay calm and collected and think before you react.

Out of Conformation and Into The New Change Stop The Resistance --Luciano The Key Santini

Today we will start with a big HELLO to all my friends and clients who continue to support and believe in what I do. Thank you Thank you . Today we will talk a bit about Networking and what it can do for you as a businessman and as an individual. I always let people know and clients that sometimes we need to get out of where we have been for so long in order for any kind of change to take place.

Change is good though so many will resist,but guess what we should know that going into any new venture or when we present any kind of new idea or process that is human nature. If you are a struggling businessman/woman with this issue let me know find me on Facebook or go to my website--http://www.motivationkey.com/. send me an email and I will get back with you.

How many times have we me included walked into a situation and said  ( What The Hell) is this common be honest!! now!! because I know we all have done it and perhaps said it out loud like I did. What now I have to change my routine and this new manager is coming in like he knows it all mmmm no way this is not happening.

Inspiration sometimes will change the mind of a person simply by looking at what is and at what is not. You see what is is what is at the moment and it is not going to change unless you change your attitude and your perspective on what ever the change is. I say inspiration because I know that at times I have had to find that what inspires me to keep moving forward though I did not want to do so.

I have a friend who was almost separated from his wife and children and he called me and said what do I do and I asked what have you tried and he said everything and I said OK lets take it step by step my friend.

I asked him what inspires you? He said my children. I then went on to help him see things from a different perspective and to make the changes in order to have his family back. He was resisting change and sometimes when we resist change it can cause our most close relationships to go to @#$%^%^& HE#$%LL.

To say that the change took place and now he is happy with his family and living in a bigger house better job and him and his wife could not be any happier YAY!!! Change sometimes needs to take place in order to survive in both business and life.

The key is in your mind at all times. This is the place where we need to look first and then ask: Do I need to make the change to survive what ever that situation may be.

What is Networking and how to do it correctly

Networking, whether through business associations or other means, is the most best way and cost effective way for small and home businesses to attract new clients. Networking is a powerful word and if you learn how to do it correctly then you are on your way to success.

Select a few  organizations. Go to meetings as often as possible and work on one or two committees. Your goal: to be the person that people come to you for ideas and solutions.

 One has to always keep an open mind and always learning something new to continue the process of mind growth and mind expansion. When we learn something new our minds expand and grow with knowledge and fill sour heart with the desire to keep on learning.

LEARN,LIVE,NOW,MOTIVATE AND EXPERIENCE-Luciano The Key Santini

Hello everyone and yes I am the Motivation Key and there is a reason why they call me that!!Because I find the key strategies to help you as a business or as an individual to reach your full potential. You know my friends sometimes I walk into a business and guess what I see; The owner running around like a chicken with his head cut off. I mean common people!!! what the hell is wrong with you!!

Know Thy self my business owners{I mean the first rule to business start-up is to have someone trained to do what you do so you can get out a sell your business HELLO!!!

Business operation is never easy and managing staff get even more difficult to deal with.

Let someone come in and assist you with your staff to get to the point of no return meaning that you want your employees to start work with vigor and feeling good about what they are selling for you. Motivate them to come to work and I do not mean incentives. Many people truly believe that incentives gets their employees motivated they could not be further from the truth.

To all my clients and individuals who are not business owners ask me all the time: What advice can you give me now that we are done with coaching? My advice is always the same Never ever stop learning because when you never stop learning you will always be gaining knowledge either to serve your mind or to serve others which will open up your mind to new ways of thinking about your business or yourself.

 Many do not believe that one can gain experiences from businesses that have closed their doors because they did not act quick enough to the changes around them and OH BOY were they wrong, just look around you and see all those business that have closed their doors because they never asked for help from some that could have assisted them with a new perspective on their business.

One can always think up or introduce challenging assignments to contribute to creating great leaders in any organization but one has to remember that not all people have the same capacity to learn. The one thing that I always do is take action with any staff and learn from any different situation

The unorthodox way!!By Luciano The Key Santini

Good morning to all who read my blog and thank you for all your inspirational comments you make on my postings. It is always a great pleasure to write for all of you.

Today I will start with some great wisdom from of course Napoleon Hill;

The quality and quantity of the service you render, plus the attitude with which you render it, determine the amount of pay you get and the sort of job you hold.

The people who are promoted to the best positions in the company are those who make it a practice to go the extra mile, to do more than they are paid to do, and to do it willingly and cheerfully. You take the first important step toward determining your own future when you make the conscious decision to approach every task with a positive outlook and to stick with the job until it is done. 

If you find this attitude difficult at first, you’ll discover it eventually becomes part of you. And after you begin to realize the benefits that accrue to you because you are known as someone who always gives a little extra, you wouldn’t consider doing things any other way. 

I truly believe that when you find your passion for whatever you have discovered life becomes an open book for you because you will see what you want and what you believe to be your destination. Life is not an easy journey to make but it can be very manageable and very interesting when you start to see things from a different angle.

"Life Becomes An Open Book Once You Realize Your Passion"-Luciano The Key Santini

 

I will say to all of you that life is what you make of it. There is one thing for sure that I am absolute about and that is that in order for you to be successful at whatever your passion is that you will have to roll up your sleeves and work hard. The words I use when I facilitate a seminar or workshop is this:

No one can guarantee anyone's success or define your success only you the person that desires success can create the road or plan to accomplish and reach that end result.

One thing I will also inform you of and that is that once you have decided your passion and ready to go after it then you have to start to realize that this will not be an easy road because once you commit you have made that commitment to yourself and no one else so in a nutshell my friends once you have committed then it is time to run with it and never stop when obstacles come your way but push on through the fog until you begin to get a glimpse of that goal and see till the end and that is how you win!!!.

GOALS!!!!!!

We as humans beings sometimes find ourselves in a conformed situation and become afraid to o make any type of change to reach our goals. You need to ask yourself some serious questions in regards to what it is you really want and some of these questions should be:

What do I want to change?

Am I willing to make the efforts for the changes?

These are just a couple of questions that we need to answer in order to start the process of reaching our dreams. When we decide to make a change we also need think about how it is going to affect those around us. Sometimes in life we need to make some drastic changes that perhaps we are not ready to make but make because we believe they are the right ones at that moment.

There will always be moments in our lives when we make the wrong choices however we need to look at all the wrong choices and believe me I have a made a few myself ! The key is to make sure that we learn from the wrong and in the future when we try it again we have a learned a lesson from them.
