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

Questions Unanswered Written By Luciano (The Key) Santini

Hello everyone in the world and to all those that read my blog. Today though it is early my heart is broken in a million pieces. Each piece of my heart goes out to the parents in Connecticut. I cannot even start to say the words that would describe such a tragedy. I cannot even imagine what the parents are feeling right now but pain and a sickness.

As a parent I can only say that I would fall into an abyss of darkness and never find my way back. I say this because I love my children more then life itself. As a parent we try so hard through good times and bad times to give them all that we can to make their life easier to deal with the reality. 

Here is a poem I wrote please read it and leave me your comments.  

Questions Unanswered 

Written by Luciano (The Key) Santini 

There will always be unanswered questions in our minds when tragedy strikes.

There will always be pain when tragedy strikes and there will always be sadness.

There will always be tears coming from our faces and our hearts from within.

No one will ever have an answer but only a thought of the why.

No one will ever know what to do or what to say. 

There is only one that has the answers to our questions.

There is only one that will continue to keep them safe.

There is only one that perhaps just saved their lives from the worst to come.

There is only one that will reveal peace in our lives and dry our tears.

There is only one that will take away our feelings of all the fears.

Perhaps our children are singing at his side perhaps that is his way.

Perhaps that was the only way to keep this world at peace.

Perhaps this is the way to teach us a powerful lesson of love and peace.

Many questions will be left unanswered in our minds today and tomorrow.

Many questions we want answered now today and tomorrow.

Do we want the answers becomes the real question does it not?

The answers will be so harsh that they will only add on to our sorrow.

So many questions will be left unanswerd today in our minds.

So many pains will be felt deep in our souls with no way out.

So many hidden skeletons we keep in the back of our minds.

Questions will be asked but never answered we must live with that uncertainty.

Questions can only be talked about and brainstormed for answers but the answers will never come.

There is only one that has all the answers but it is not me nor is it you.

There is only one that someday will share the answers with you and me. 

Today we pray for all those we have lost.

Today we cry for their lives to be held in the highest.

Today we ask GOD to let them smile upon a broken world.

Today we get on our knees and pray a prayer of forgiveness .

Today we ask GOD for strength to live in peace.

  

Today we ask GOD for a new view of who we are and where we are headed.

If we pray and ask we shall recieve from the highest of them all. AMEN 

Today I will not write about bussiness or life but about change and the need for it, Remember that we the parents and the people that see this tragedy for what it trully is can make the changes. We the people build this country and we can make the changes if we but choose to do so.  

We need to stnd upo to these eveil that lives in our neighborhoods and in our homes,yes in our homes because people like this person was also someones child and they loved him as we love our children.

We need to understand that it starts at home. I have seen children change the way they see the world when parents teach them the world as is not as what we want or believe it to be but for what it is. 

I am not saying the world is a bad place to live in but what I am saying is that we need to see the reality around us. We never expect a tragedy to to happen such as Connecticut but what we do need to do is realize that it could happen and how do we prepare.

We as parents are so afraid to tell our children the truth of the world and we should not be, because when we are fearful we say nothing. 

I have a son who is in middle school and before he started I had a long talk about what could happen regarding drugs and what did he answer me this: Dad this would never happen to me becausemy friends are good people! 

I said to him ok I am not saying your friends are bad people but what I am saying is to be aware of people you surround yourself with. GUESS WHAT!!!

Two months into his school year ( A FRIEND) approached him about drugs and well he was smart enough to make the right choice to talk to me about it the same day and well as a parent I sat with him and explained to him that this is just the beginning of the reality he will be facing in the world of chaos and that he will be making many more choices in life.

I explained to him that life itself is beautiful as long as he surrounds himself with positive people and stay away from negative ones. Will he always makes the right choices,I can only hope he does. One thing I know for sure that he will think about the choices and the consequences that come with each choice he makes.

People loose their way in life for so many reasons and sometimes it does not make sense but to that person something made sense whatever that might have been. People are good in a non-reality world. In a the real world we live to survive that is it we live in a world to survive.  

I find that tragedies happen all the time but not like this not in our town, but the fact is that evil lurks everywhere and we need to teach our children as well as ourselves that this exists, that this is a reality. 

I continue to hear about gun control and yes I am all for it but the reality of all this is that it has to take a tragedy like this to happen to be able to see the need to control the sale of guns. I also understand those that make the comment(Guns Do Not kill People) (People Kill People) I also understand that when a tragedy such as this happens we see the reality of the world.

It should never have to get to this point to see the world for what it really is and to see and understand that there is evil in it. We do not need to wait to see this. I am not a politician nor a priest I am a parent just like those in Connecticut and around the world who love their children.

Tell your children everyday just how much you care and love them not just when something like this happens. Sometimes we get angry at them because they do dum things or they do not listen and we stay angry at them for the rest of the day REALLY!! oh yes we do WHY!! all the time I see it and Teach it not to be that way!.

Today is a sad day not just in Connecticut but around the world. So many little lives were taken. The opportunity for changes in the world that are so badly needed were perhaps taken as well. So many dreams were taken. 

Luciano (The Key) Santini on Life And Business

Good morning to all my friends and well it might be afternoon in some places around the world.

WOW!!!! I remember the post I did when we went into 2012 and now here is December the end of 2012. I ask myself questions like: What Have I done this year? Where is my Life this year? What have I accomplished this year? Where is my business this year? The most important question is: How am I going to end this yaer to prepare me for 2013.

The way we live our lives has changed dramatically and you know what I am talking about because the world is always turning this way and that way and sometimes we get caught up in the drama and we do not follow through on our dreams do we?

I find that both in life and business that this is a fact of reality. There are many questions that you need to ask yourself in silence and aswer them to yourself and yourself only. 

Many people have asked me why should they ask themselves such questions and I answer them like this: You need to answer these questions such as these because if you are going to lie to yourself then what do you Have to look forward to!!

In this video I read a poem I wrote on wasting time. enjoy it and perhaps you will have a better perspectiive on time. You see time is not a thing to take for granted because once that time is gone it is gone and you can never get it back. So it is essential that we take care of our time we are given on this earth to make the best of it whether in business or personal life.

BUSINESS 

Business well it is different because in business it is about making a profit and there is nothing wrong with that at all. The problem that I have found mostly when I train businesses on customer service or management skills or communication and organizational skills I find that they are not focused on their lives. 

There is so much turmoil within an organization because no one ever wants to be on a team and they may tell you to your face that they in fact do but the reality is that they are doing nothing more the having a conversation with you the owners.

If you want to have a great customer based staff you need to really understand human nature and figure out what they want and give it to them. What!!! do you mean Luciano? Well first of all you need have an understanding of what it is to be a human and what we all want which is a sense of security. 

The owners of a business cares about the bottom line and you should but at the same time how are you aquiring that botton line is what is really going to matter at the end.

Lets take a look at a few strategies that you can use to get you there:

 First of all have a  well rounded idea of your business and your need for training staff. I have to tell you that employee training and giving them proper support and not half training will get you the results you are looking for. 

I realize that it is a cost but sometimes we need to get over it and do it.Training is the first thing that suffers but will always remain a crtical element of your business.

 When a company's good intentions are to keep costs down and cut back on training it will undermine the company's to remain on top of the game of competition.

I know that sometimes small businesses fall short here however they need to see the future a bit and understand where they are in their training. As an owner I understand costs but when it all comes down sometimes you need that face to face coach or trainer to come in and show you hands on how to achieve your business goals.

Luciano Santini On Business and Life And Our Youth

Well hello my friends I almost forgot to blog MMMMM where is my mind lately. Well let just say that I have been really busy finishing up some translations and getting ready to do a bilingual seminar for the youth.

 I always look forward to doing these seminars because I really try to reach our youth, Many people are always saying how we are loosing our youth to the world and chaos of today and guess what!! I agree!!! Yes I do!!!

Meet my beautiful son he is eleven years old and yet he has a mind of an adult now do not get me wrong he is still a kid of course and he does all the things eleven year old kids do however he is an inspiration to me because sometimes out comes some things that I have only heard from adult conversations,now granted I take him to my meetings and seminars and he helps me out with all the computer set ups and projectors. 

He is good at it yes I taught him those things and yes he gets paid for doing a great job. I guess he is learning how to be responsible for what he does and for what he learns.

This is a testimonial from the most recent youth and parenting seminar for the a local school district.

 

He does great in school top of his class but the amazing thing about him is that he questions life. Really think about that how many kids and adults ever questions life. This important because most people ever do and when you do not question life then that means that you are comfortable and thus for will never ever progress forward. 

He has asked me about life in general and he has asked me about the future and though I may not have the answer which I do not but what I do tell him is we may not know the future there are ways on how to prepare for it and not be left behind specially in technology.

Lets talk a little about business owners. When do you id you are one question your customer service really be honest not with me but with yourself and your customers. Do you give your clients the best service you possibly can. Do you talk to them and ask them how your employees treat them? I'm just saying really my friends lets be real to a real world.

Some tips on how to give the best you can to your clients.

Ask yourself some of these questions;

 What outcomes (results, not activities) are to be achieved by this improvement initiative? How will their attainment be measured?

1. Have you identified which of the organization's products and services are most critical in carrying out its mission? If yes, what are the 10 most vital? If not, what method will you use for identifying and prioritizing them to create a strategic foundation for this initiative?
2. What specific numerical objectives and due dates have been established for improving priority outcomes, products and services? Are they being met?
3. Improvement initiatives are often aimed at general problem-solving and process management. As Drucker, Lawton, Deming and others have written, it is possible to solve internal problems and improve efficiency while failing to (1) meet customer needs or (2) function as an effective enterprise. Is the initiative intended to measurably increase both customer and employee satisfaction? By how much?
4. What is currently given higher organizational priority than customer satisfaction? 

Life,Business And Our Children Luciano The Key Santini

Good morning to all my friends. How are we doing on this beautiful morning? Today is a special day. It will be my son's birthday and we are preparing for his little friends to come over and enjoy a day of fun.

Here I am on my show that comes on every Saturday morning at 10:30 am for a half hour. I mostly talk about motivation because it seems that in these economical times people need to hear some hope. I know that when we feel down on our selves, for what ever reason, we need to hear some words of hope. I believe my show gives that to the world.

We live in a chaotic world do we not? Of course we do; our daily routine is nothing more then a variation of daily chaos. I'm not saying that life is not wonderful, because it truly is. What I am saying to you is that we need to stop and look for the beauty each day of our lives and feel it, enjoy it at every moment that we live.

Remember that we all have something special; you have something unique that no one else has but you. You need to learn what that is and be able to share it with the world. If we can learn to share our thoughts and our unique specialties, the world will surely be a very special place for each of us.

As a Business Coach there is so much to teach business owners, but the problem is simply that every owner feels they know everything about their business. What is the truth? The truth is that they do not. I may know lots of things but I never claim that I know everything because I am always learning something new at every moment in my life.

Life Coaching

This reminds me of a story I read a few days ago;

In 1972, Stanford psychologist Walter Mischel concocted an ingenious experiment involving young children and a bag of marshmallows. He put a marshmallow on the table and told each child that if he (or she) could wait 15 minutes to eat it, they would get a second one as a reward.

Two-thirds of the kids flunked miserably. Some caved in at once; videotapes show others struggling to discipline themselves - some even banging their little heads on the table.

But the surprising results of the study came years later. Researchers followed up on the children to see how their lives progressed. Turns out the kids who exercised forbearance rather than eating the marshmallows at once had SAT scores 210 points higher. They were also more likely to finish college, enjoyed significantly higher incomes, were far less likely to go to jail and suffered fewer drug and alcohol problems.

What does this mean? It means we should love our kids. Our kids should have a good understanding that they need to treat other as they would like to be treated with respect and dignity.But if we really want them to succeed in life, we should also teach them the benefits of working hard and staying focused on their goals and their dreams..

Education takes time and persistence. Professional attainments require concentrated effort. Saving and investing - instead of spending - takes discipline. Successful parenting means sacrifice and commitment.

The world stands aside and makes room for the person who knows where he is going and is on his way.

When you have a vision for what you wish to achieve in your life, not only will others stand aside and let you pass, but they will join you in your quest as well. They will instinctively recognize your enthusiasm and zest for living. 

When you speak of your passion in life, your definite major goal, they will see the intensity of your desire, and they will respond with encouragement and assistance or they will stand aside. It will be apparent to all who know you that you will succeed. 

I read this about ten times because it has a such a deep meaning to me and because it is so true. go ahead a read it a few times for yourself my friends.

Luciano Santini Life Can Be A Challenge Only If You Make It So

Good morning everyone and it has a few weeks since I have written on my blog but it has been a crazy month with seminars and speeches on life itself.Here I am on this beautiful Saturday waiting for the sunrise to start so I can go outside and sit with a good cup of coffee and watch the sun rise. 

You should do that make it a habit of doing so if you are not yet. OK so here is what my Zodiac says for today:But first I start with my quotes and short video please enjoy.

"Life Can Be A Challenge Only If You Make It So And If You Make It So Then You Know That You Are Progressing"--Luciano Santini

September 01, 2012

Capricorn (12/22-1/19)

Creative writing doesn't just describe poems and stories. Anything that involves the written word is open to your special brand of flair, so there's no excuse not to inject your personality into every email, text and memo you write. Choose your words carefully and don't shy away from using humor. People love to laugh, and love people who make them laugh even more! If you have been itching to get closer to someone, the perfect note today might do the trick. 

Studying Napoleon Hill is not an easy task but I will tell you that when you begin to understand what he discovered and wrote about your life begins to change.

 

 Examine most carefully the things you desire most.

Far too many people spend more time planning their weekends than their lives. Then they suddenly realize that life has passed them by and they weren’t even aware it was happening. When you intently study what you most desire in life, you begin to focus your mind and concentrate your energy upon that which you wish to achieve. 

One of the great advantages of having a definite goal for your life is that it helps you prioritize your activities. When your major purpose is clear in your mind, it is unnecessary to analyze each individual situation. You know automatically whether your actions will move you toward your goal or away from it. You can then use all of your resources — time, money, and energy — to best advantage. 

When I facilitate a workshop or do a seminar I always ask people the same question: Why is it that most people plan out their vacation down to the last cent and yet they do not take the time to plan their lives. Why is that? I always wondered about that myself. I believe that people in general are lost in the midst of the chaos that we live in and we try to facilitate our lives the best we can and yet we find ourselves lost in our insanity we call life.

I believe that if we were to sit down for a few minutes a day and kind of just think about how the day is going we would discover that we need to make changes in our routine every day. Take a few minutes tomorrow and do that and write me your comments and let me know how it went for you. You will discover just how wonderful life can be when you take control of your thinking and your life just do it!!!

I find that we can change our lives by making better choices on a daily basis because this would give you better control of what and how think about your life each and every day. My friends live life to the fullest !! Do not just exist!!

The difference between a success and a failure for many small businesses could be the way we look at the way we manage people and look at our clients or customers at any given time.

 However one of the seldom talked about factors on why a business might fail is because it grows too fast and can’t keep up with the demands that come along with growth. 

 

The way to take care of this issue is to see a bit in the future. A business coach is your best tool to utilize if this is the case where your business is growing and you have no idea what to do! This will bring failure to your business and to your clients because you will not be able to keep them satisfied with great customer service and your managers will be left behind because they will become overwhelmed.

Luciano Santini and Understanding Life And Who You Are

I always like to start my day with a great quote and so I share both the wisdom of the past and the wisdom of the present; First here is my Zodiac and what is says is that:

August 12, 2012

Capricorn (12/22-1/19)

Being concise is extremely important today, because it will help you get to the heart of the matter without wasting any one's time (including you own). So instead of going on and on when you're asking for something, cut to the chase. Just ask for what you want. If you deserve something, you will get it. And if you don't, you won't. If it's 'no,' it's not the answer you want to hear, but at least you will know faster -- and can move on to bigger and better things sooner. 

Now my quote for the day:

 

 The climb upward will be easier if you take others along with you.

When you take the initiative, you become a de facto leader whose success will depend in large measure upon your ability to inspire others to work with you. They will follow your lead when they have confidence in you and when they know they will share in your success. Few of us are good enough or lucky enough to achieve great success completely on our own. We need others to help us. When we give more in return than we ever ask of our friends and associates, not only will we be able to accomplish much more in life, but it will also make the entire experience much more enjoyable. 

Well now to business and would like to start with somewhat of an idea for all around the world to realize this quote because I have to tell you that a loners journey is never easy instead you will find yourself in many difficult times. 

You must always look for help from others because you will need them whoever you decide to find to help you on your journey.

In life there will always be issues and we will always make mistakes the thing to learn is to simply make sure that we learn from our mistakes and move forward. Most people will give up because they made a bad mistake that for example cost them all their money and well now it is over. 

I tell you learn and move learn and move forward into the future because if you become stale then your whole life will be one giant door stop meaning you have put your life on hold and will never move forward.

What needs to happen now is to sit and relax your mind and find what it is that you want to accomplish, Sit relax and start a plan as small as it may be start it and do it now!!!! START THE PLAN

In business I find that when I start to train a small business owner he is still in the employee mentality. Why is that? Well because the owner believes that he/she are the only ones that can run the business efficiently and that they are the only ones who understand their customers.This is the main issue that I find. 

When I start to train the techniques to let go and let someone else start the journey they begin to worry and think negatively and this can become an issue if they decide not to continue the training. The thing is to take a good look at the people that you may have employed and watch them and usually there is at least one individual who excels more then the others.

This person he/she will be the one that you need to start teaching and we start training him/her and assist them with the journey. This will be the one to allow to run your business so that you have the freedom to get out and create ore business for your establishment and then it will slowly begin to grow.

Jere is a great DVD on understanding your children and I know we all need this take a look and let me know what your thoughts are. Thank you  and until next time.

Luciano The Key Santini On Understanding Your Customers

Decisions are a way of defining ourselves. There comes a time in life when there is nothing else to do but go your own way.

--Sergio Bambaren

Lifetime clients are those who come back again and again because they love what you have to offer and you’ve listened to their needs — throughout their entire lifetime. Whether it’s their entire human lifetime, the lifetime of their business, the lifetime of their career, or the lifetime of their goals, there are many ways you can help repeatedly.

by Karyn Greenstreet http://www.passionforbusiness.com/

How do you do that well get assistance from a business coach or take a class in your industry.

Today we will be talking strictly about business and perhaps a bit on life coaching you see I have found that most small business owners believe what they believe and understand because they think they understand what they believe to be true and in all actuality they are failing in their own mind.

 I have found that when you as a business owner believes you know all there is about your business you are really setting yourself for failure.

You must have an understanding of your business but always learning about your business and when you stop learning say about your competition or your geographical area or what type of customers you have then you are not only failing your customers which are the blood of your business but you are failing yourself as a person and a part of the community.

The other thing that I have noticed is that business owners are afraid to spend money on their business. I can truly understand if you do not have a need then is absolutely fine and great but if there is a need to help out or get a better understanding of your staff, customers or your self on how you are operating your business then ask for help bring someone to assist you.

Here are some important readings from a book--The Art of Choosing by Sheena Iyengar but summarized by Karyn Greenstreet http://www.passionforbusiness.com/

People like to feel they are unique and not “just like everyone else.” This, of course, isn’t true: as human beings, we’re more alike in our buying behavior than we realize. However, customers want to appear as if they each, individually, make unique buying decisions different from their peers. 

For instance, if two people would normally choose the same meal at a restaurant, studies show that when one person gives her order, the second person will change her order so that she doesn’t appear to be a copycat.

As a business owner you need to know how your customers act and why they come into your establishment. Many time we fail because we simply do not pay attention to their needs. I find that when you do not pay attention to your customers eventually they will see right through you as a business owner that of a money grabber oops did I hurt someone's feelings oh well!! you need to make sure you understand this.--Luciano Santini

Another sample of this great book--The Art of Choosing by Sheena Iyengar

People do take marketing puffery seriously, even though logically they shouldn’t. They’ll buy bottled water that they know, intellectually, comes from municipal tap water that’s been created via reverse osmosis. 

They buy into claims that the water is especially refreshing (all water is refreshing) or that it’s bottled at the source (in this case, the “source” is municipal water) or that it’s “expertly designed water” (does it need any further design than the original H2O formula we’ve been using for so long?? Apparently, yes.). That’s why Dasani’s website focuses not on the water, but on the bottle the water comes in: 30% plant material, 100% recyclable.

 What does this mean well it means that just because your customers come int o buy from you you need to figure out what you are going to focus on strongly upon so you can better understand them.--Luciano Santini

Another sample of this great book--The Art of Choosing by Sheena Iyengar

 Even a small amount of choice brings a sense of well-being. Several studies showed that when participants were given a choice versus being told what to do, those who were given a choice (even the smallest, simplest of choices, like which night to watch a movie), made people feel better about the situation.

What does this mean to you and your business? It means that your business will be busier and get more customers to come in because they have choices and if you do not understand this concept then stop wondering why your business is slowing down even more in this economy. --Luciano Santini

"In Life There Are Always Choices To Be Made The Question Becomes Will You Make The Right One""--Luciano The Key Santini
