Simplicity Sometimes Explains Best-Luciano The Key Santini SSDE


Good morning my friends and my loyal followers. I truly appreciate your support and your great comments on my journey to change the world one mind at a time. Motivation cannot be taught or given and it can be learned but you have to put in the effort and the willingness to allow yourself that action to take place. I hope this makes sense.
Help me get 100 follower to add to my blog viewers  this month by sending this to all your friends. Thank you
 

I was seriously thinking about how my mind has grown since I started this journey many moons ago and while on this journey I have read many many many books as well as learned from some of the greatest motivators and have had the opportunity to meet face to face with them though sometimes it was simply shaking their hand and saying thank you has really put a print on my way of thinking and looking at all that I do from different perspective.




The mind grows only through use, and it atrophies through idleness.

Just as the physical body becomes strong through regular exercise, so does the mind require regular use to remain strong. Make sure that your personal development plan includes plenty of mental stimulation. One of the best ways to develop your imagination and visualization skills is through reading. 

As you read, your mind translates the words into images that help you better understand the concepts about which you are reading. Become a voracious reader. Read newspapers, trade magazines, self-help books, and novels; all will contribute to your store of knowledge and to your ability to visualize and more effectively use your imagination. 
Please scan and send to all your friends or business partners that may need my services. Let me know if this works via emails or messages or comments.

One of my all time favorite quotes 


“It is simplicity that makes the uneducated more effective than the educated when addressing popular audiences.”
 
–Aristotle 

A little on motivation for today:
 Sometime you will either see or meet someone who seem authentic and we may call them great individuals and we ask ourselves just; How do they manage to accomplish that?! Don' we? Oh yes we do and yes you do it as well. We have to ask because my friends we all need some guidance to reach our goals and to find ourselves because it is not an easy task when we face so many challenging tasks on our daily life.

My friends have a beautiful day and a wonderful weekend. Remember I am here to serve both your Individual and Business needs to reach all your goals.

Your Solutions Provider In life and In Business -Luciano Santini SSDE


Good morning everyone and how are you folks doing on this day?
Your Solutions Provider In life and In Business
Hello Everyone
 Thought I would say hello personally. Let us talk politics and business and let me hear your comments.
There is old saying that goes round and round in every business and it goes something like this; Politics I do understand politics very well  both in organizational aspect and of course as we all know it politics and candidates.
Never Ever  Ever Sleep with the enemy because sooner or later it shows up somewhere or someone will say something to someone and oh man can it get ugly.


It does not mean literally jumping into bed with the enemy,well sometimes I guess it literally means that. What it means is that one does not need to give up ones morals and ethics to get what one needs or want. 

When I see this happen many many times is when someone is desperate and is reaching out for the last resort and when that does not work simply because it was so predictable what that person or organization is doing then those individuals will just give up and end up loosing the battle. Many time not a pretty sight OOPS!!


It is important for you to realize that no lens, or perspective, is better than the others. I have had much experience with both private and non-profit organizations and have learned that the more perspectives that I was able to get from both staff and clients  about an issue in your organization, then I can create solutions much better and much more effective to address that issue.Integration comes to mind why is it so difficult for so many to make it work.

Often, the most difficult phase in managing change is this phase when leader's work to sustain the momentum of the implementation and adjustment of plans. Change efforts can encounter a wide variety of obstacles, for example, strong resistance from members of the organization, sudden departure of a key leader in the organization, or a dramatic reduction in sales.

 Strong, visible, ongoing support from top leadership is critically
important to show overall credibility and accountability in the change effort.Adapted from “Field Guide to Consulting and Organizational Development”This book was actually used in my business school really really good book.

One of the biggest mistakes is that when an organizations decided to change a system or go and try integration is that upper management treat their staff like children as if they know nothing and the reality is that they know more then upper management because upper management is so far off the trenches that they can only see the WHAT IF"S!!!! and not the truth HELLO!!! While not only treating staff like children but expecting them to act like adults WOW!! and guess what it happens all the time




 Faith

Faith is the element, the “chemical” which, when mixed with prayer, gives one direct communication with Infinite Intelligence.

I am talking about faith in the regular way most people believe in faith no! I am talking in having faith in your self.
What about believing in what you do and your will. What does having a strong will mean? Well lets take a look at what the dictionary says:

 Dictionary definitions of ‘will’ include: the faculty by which a person decides on and initiates action; exertion of control; making something happen by exertion of mental powers – as in, “he willed himself to…”
Synonyms are: resoluteness, doggedness, tenacity, and strength of character. 



There will be many many times when things just do not go your way and you quickly will either blame others for your failure or simply give up because OTHERS just did not pull their weight right. WRONG!! you see my friends we have to stand up and take responsibility for our actions and be accountable for the consequences yes that is correct be accountable for the consequences.

Business is like having a second wife or having an affair one must keep both away from each other or it will destroy your mind and everything in between. I apologize I use these metaphors to keep it real and simple to understand. I know there will be many out there that will cringe at this blog today but you know what? We need to be real about the world we live in and the we must be real to ourselves.

We can lie to the world and we can lie to ourselves as long as we do not start to believe our own lies because that will be the beginning of the end of any business.

What Do You Want Your Business To Accomplish-Luciano The Key Santini SSDE


Hello everyone and how are we doing on this beautiful Saturday morning and I do mean beautiful. I am looking out my window facing trees and they just seem so green this morning and it is just beautiful. I was thinking where I was twenty years ago and to be honest I have no idea well maybe I do but that would be a hell of a story to tell someday.

Let us start with a simple question for all you business people out there.

Do you know what is that you want your business to accomplish?
What do I mean by this well let me start by saying that if I was to stop by your business and ask this very same question; How would you answer it?

Notice that I did not ask what you wanted to accomplish. I asked regarding your business. I can give you the answer but hey my friends let us make it very interesting OK. I would like you guys who read my posting to either post it on Facebook or on Linked in or simply tweet me or email me hell you can call me!!


Is it money we are all looking for or is it peace of mind or perhaps having a great relationship with others!!
You see we always face obstacles mmmm!!! are thy obstacles or are they the excuses we make to make us feel better about ourselves and the choices we make and then justify again and again with excuses.
We will face adversity whether in our private lives or at work. Let me tell about adversity my friends,you can learn an awful lot from adversity.

Your real courage shows best in the hour of adversity.

Some setbacks are so severe that to give in to them means losing the whole ball game. When he assumed command of the Korean War, Gen. Matthew Ridgeway found his forces pushed far to the south, hard pressed by the invaders. Only a determined decision to hold the lines allowed the American forces to keep from being swept into the sea and to eventually regain all the territory they had lost.

When a defeat strikes, you may not have the time to withdraw and contemplate your mistakes without risking further setbacks. Don’t succumb to paralysis. It is important to know at that moment what it is you truly desire and to act to preserve your resources and your hope. If you crumble utterly, you will take a blow to your self-esteem that will be hard to repair. Instead, stick to your principles, and you will know, at the very least, that you have protected the most important thing you have. Your successes in life will far outnumber your failures. 

Speaking to incarcerated youth.
 
How about when you find someone say your superior at a job or a company or someone who you think is your friend. You need to be able to read the false lines they feed you before you start to believe the lies.
Napoleon Hill says this:
Don’t be fooled by people who attempt to further their own interests under the guise of helping you. Listen to advice from others, thank them for their interest, and make up your own mind about what is best. Follow their advice if it fits with your plan for your life, but don’t hesitate to discard it if it doesn’t. In all the world, there is only one individual who knows what is best for you, and that person is you.  

When you read stories and see the reality of the world from a different perspective then you begin to see the potential of something new and this is when you go after your dreams.

The trick to all of this is a different mind set. We need to have clarity and specificity of what it is we want in our lives.

Imagination and the Possibilities Lie Within Your Mind-Luciano The Key Santini--SSDE

Good morning my friends and how are we doing on this beautiful weekend?

Today I would like to invite you into my world of imagination. Read that again my world of IM-AGINATION and I say my world because I am going to talk about my world of imagination ha ha. OK now that may sound funny but I have to say that imagination is the most powerful tool we have simply because we can be or do whatever it is that we want to do or be. Napoleon Hill in his book Think and Grow rich stated the following;

Napoleon Hill wrote, "You will never have a definite purpose in life; you will never have self confidence; you will never have initiative and leadership unless you first create these qualities in your imagination and see yourself in possession of them." He went on to say that, "... imagination is the most marvelous, miraculous, inconceivably powerful force the world has ever known." I love this guy and his way of thinking.

You see my friends I want you to think about the following questions.
How many times has your imagination tricked you into thinking something that was never there?
How many times did you think of an idea no else did?
How many times has your imagination made you crazy?


I can only tell you that it has happened to me and so I have learned to create positive thoughts in my mind which I call my own world of imagination. An example of imagination was when President Kennedy stated that there would be a man walking on the moon. People thought yea and wow! what an imagination and yet it came true,!! What about the technology our computers and phones and email HELLO----- IMAGINATION MY FRIENDS ALL IMAGINATION.

 

Here is another big one!!

 You must get busy doing something about going the extra mile.
It’s well and good to feel as though you have changed the attitude with which you render extra service, but if that service is in truth no more than anyone else’s, then you aren’t doing yourself much good. You need to examine your co-workers and competitors to understand just what it is that will make you stand out. If there are job performance standards, exceed them. If you’re fulfilling a contract, make sure you offer more than you promised. You cannot confine extra-mile service to your work alone. You must make it part of your philosophy for dealing with every person you encounter. Imagine how others will be delighted to find that you are the type of person who not only does what is promised but even delivers more. The true benefit of going the extra mile is in teaching yourself to strive always for better and greater achievement in all that you do.

One of my other favorite people of all time who was an amazing person was no one else the Mr. Benjamin Franklin he said and I quote;

 “Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.” – Ben Franklin 

Of course on other favorites of mine:
 
“If some people are so hungry for a feeling of importance that they actually go insane to get it, imagine what miracle you and I can achieve by giving people honest appreciation this side of insanity.” – Dale Carnegie, How to Win Friends & Influence People  

 
Here I am bringing people together through motivation and techniques on a radio show. It was awesome and lots of fun and I realized that when you talk on things that interest people or looking at things and situations and issues from a different perspective people listen.

Kyle Wilson shares a story here which is so important i all phases of life and business check it out;
This story is close to me for many reasons but hey that is another story for another blog posting in the near future!!!

Everything is Possible!
A few days ago I had a 2 hour Skype call with two amazing guys. One is a lead member in a world renowned rock and roll band and the other has trained 5 world champion MMA fighters (and is a former champion himself). There will certainly be more developing on this story.
But the part I wanted to share was a follow-up email from one of the guys. His P.S. at the end said:

As Jim Rohn says, "when 2 or 3 agree on the same purpose, everything is possible". Jim Rohn said when he heard this for the first time, he underlined the word EVERYTHING :)

Mistakes!! Admit Them And Learn And Grow-Luciano The Key Santini SSDE


Good morning my friends. It seems that everyone in the entire world is always looking for something that will change their world. I have a question for all of you out there who read this blog.

What is that you are looking for in this world that will change your life. I know for a fact that sometimes people have no idea who they are or what they need in their life to change the direction that they may be headed.


Here I am giving a motivational speech to the Veterans on finding the thing we are all looking for inside of us to motivate us to find that one thing that makes us move ahead when all is looking bleak. I find that when I coach individuals they all tell me the same thing regarding their past mistakes. I say to them do not worry about the past mistakes they were made and that is that and yes it is that simple.

The problem happens when the individual seems to hang on to that mistake for years and years and after a while it sinks in as fault. I tell you my friends sometimes it is our fault but at the same time every situation is different and lots of times plans change and one must make spontaneous choices and sometimes they are the wrong ones. The key to all this madness is did you learn something from that mistake and if you did then let go because you cannot change the past ever, you can only make it a learning experience that is it.


I have to tell that you have to understand that if you make a mistake that it will be difficult to admit that you made a mistake small or large. At this point you must understand that by admitting your mistake it will take you to a new level of understanding who you are and who yo will become.

Most people star by pointing fingers at someone else or make excuses and miss the lesson that should have been learned. Some people will screw someone over and then when asked why they will make every excuse and never admit their mistake and sooner or later it will comeback with a revenge.

If you fail a test, then you have become a failure. If you make a mistake then you are a mistake perhaps you have never ever felt this way but guess what!! Many people do.

Chickens come home to roost, and so do your thoughts. Be careful what sort of thoughts you send out.
The thoughts you send out to others will have a far greater impact upon you than upon them. Unlike a material possession, when you release a thought or give it to someone else, it also stays with you. It may remain buried in your subconscious long after your conscious mind has forgotten about it. Like chickens that return to the coop at night, such thoughts may flash into your consciousness when you least expect them.


 When your thoughts are positive, you never have to worry about the damage you may do to yourself through negative thinking. Cheerful, productive, happy thoughts that are buried in your subconscious bring positive results when they recur, and by their presence they encourage the maintenance of a positive attitude in all that you do.

Read this over and over and you will see that once you realize that the mistakes you have made in the past can be forgotten and perhaps give you a new start in life. You must learn from your mistakes
