Hello my friends and how are we doing today. I hope that this year has started well for both you as the individual and also for your business. I know how difficult it can be trying to get something started whether it is personal or in business. As an individual it is your job to keep a positive attitude at all times and yes it can be challenging of course it all depends on the situation.
As an individual you need to look at whatever the situation is from a perspective of what it is and what it means to you. If you look at the situation in the regard then you can pretty much see the issue and now you can make a plan that works for yourself and fix it. I know what you are thinking sure if it were that simple and guess what I get that it is not an easy thing to do however you must realize one thing and this is extremely important to understand from the beginning.
One that life is not fair because I hear that almost every time I assist someone with their dreams and goals. You have to understand that the mind does not differentiate from wrong thinking or good thing from a positive attitude to a negative attitude. If you as an individual can see and understand what this means and are able to know when the negativity is setting in then you have won part of the game already.
You have to understand how the mind works at least just a little bit and of course know who you are as a person. You must remember my friends that as a child you felt invincible and were not afraid of spiders per say up until began to grow up and started to see the reality of life that life was not fair. I know you remember saying this to someone at least once in your life or perhaps you say it everyday..
As you know I have studied Napoleon Hill for many years and have looked in depth at his way of thinking and I find his wisdom to be a learning experience. Take a look at this tip form him and let me know what you think of it:
Don’t look to the stars for the cause of your misfortunes: look to yourself to get better results.
There are many things you cannot control, but you can control the only things that really matter: your mind and your attitude. External forces have very little to do with success. Those who program themselves for success find a way to succeed even in the most difficult of circumstances. Solutions to most problems come from one source and one source alone: yourself. Living life to the fullest is a lot like shooting the rapids in a rubber raft. Once you’ve made the commitment, it’s difficult to change your mind, turn around, and paddle upstream to placid waters.
But it’s the excitement and
adventure that make it all worthwhile. If you never make the attempt,
you may never know the depths of despair, but neither will you
experience the exhilaration of success.
Read it and re-read it because if you can understand this with what I have written above the you will be to a great start and for sure a great day!!!!.
BUSINESS WORLD--
In the business world it is the same thing with a slight difference and that is that it is no longer just you because now you have staff to help and teach and train and then you have the most important thing mmmmmm oh yes your customers! which can and will make you or break you and your will.
Leadership means to lead through both the hard times and the good times and to be able to understand people and yourself and how to handle both clients and staff. The hard part is when you have to adapt to changes and perhaps you can do that with no issues but what about your staff. They will challenge you and resist. I can tell you right now and here that what I find is that people get fired almost immediately and my question always is why? The answers I get really piss me off to be honest because these people are the leaders operating the organization.
I start out with a few questions to these so called leaders;
Why are you wanting to fire these people?
Answer: Because they have no skills and they are lazy. This is perhaps the number one answer I get from leadership.
My answer: Perhaps it is not they are lazy or do not have the skills, perhaps just perhaps you the leaders do not have the skills and are to lazy to realize what is happening. Yes they get upset but as a life/business coach it is my job to show you what is happening and sometimes it is not what you want to hear because you are the leader!! I get it and understand but you have to have the skills to understand both clients and people that work for you!! period.
Leaders loose focus and could be because of the pressures of leadership. Leaders cannot communicate and if they know how they do it poorly causing some major issues. Let me tell you one thing that I hope you understand if you are a leader in your company- Leadership is not an easy position it requires continuous training of staff monitoring and motivating which by the way can be the most difficult to do. Leadership must also have the ability to adapt to change and be able to implement any changes needed for the company to survive.
The last thing that I will let you know is this because sometimes leaders in many organizations believe that what made the company or organization successful 100 years ago will continue to make it successful today and well sometimes what made is successful 100 years ago can bring about it failure today. Time have changed mindsets have changed and well people continuously change we need to adapt and quickly or be left behind.
