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.

CRITICISM I DISLIKE THAT WORD--LUCIANO THE KEY SANTINI

To move ahead you need to respect others and share your knowledge-Luciano The Key Santini

Good morning to all my friends. How are we doing this wonderful Thursday morning. I went outside and WOW it was freezing. OK it was a bit cold and not freezing. Now lets talk a bit about your old habits:

Sure, your old habits are nice and comfortable, but they are old  you need to make some changes and perhaps make that changes quick before they settle into your blood system and you are stuck.

Today you should make a small change in your routine and see what happens. make a small turn on your way top work that you would normally not do. Go to a different store for your groceries that normally you would not go to. In other words my friends make the changes that are needed to make a new habit-just do it today try it go for it and stop procrastinating. 

Criticism I dislike that word why? Simple really because people are quick to make judgements on others and never take a look within themselves because if they did WOO-HOO would they make some great and awesome discoveries about the type of people they really are and then they would read the top section of this blog and make some changes. I KNOW YOU AGREE AND IF YOU DO NOT AGREE LET ME KNOW WHY YOU DO AND  OR WHY YOU DO NOT VIA FACE BOOK OR LINKED IN. Have a wonderful day to all my readers and friends around the world.

"To Move Ahead In A Company Work Hard, Respect

"To Move Ahead In A Company Work Hard, Respect
 Others And Share your Knowledge"--Luciano The Key Santini

Good morning my friends and how are we doing this wonderful Sunday morning. As for me well I believe I am going to sit outside and watch the sunrise today. I believe this is one the gifts of the universe that you must do once in a while and enjoy. Every time that I do this it reminds me of my place in the world. 

What do I mean by that well let me explain: You see once you realize that you are a part of the universe and that the world indeed does revolve around you get a better hold of who you are and what you want and where you want to be.

 It took me a few times of doing this to realize that I could have anything that my heart desires. Yes of course it takes times and meeting the right people but what it really takes is simple really because all you have to do is ask specific questions to the universe and the answers will come and perhaps if you ask correctly what you want will also show up. Watching the sunrise is an incredible sight.

 In Business well all I can say today is the following article I found from Napoleon Hill which really states such an important aspect of life:

 

Cooperation must start at the head of a department if it is expected at the other end. The same is true for efficiency.
In most large organizations, the amount of time and energy that is squandered in interdepartmental rivalry is enormous. Managers who compete with others inside the company waste valuable resources that should be directed at fulfilling the company’s mission to serve its customers better.

 Worse, a negative, internal focus can cause the company to miss opportunities, the full effect of which may not be realized for months or even years. Whether you are the head of the department or the newest worker on the staff, you can help your company immeasurably by refusing to become embroiled in internal strife. Compete with yourself to do the best job you can do instead of competing with others. 

I really do agree with the above statements because it so true, but what I find is that people in general are always competing which is OK to do in a contest but when people are doing out of spite or because they believe that they will get ahead by stepping on people is the wrong way to get ahead.

 I always tell individuals that if they want to move ahead of the crowed you must start by doing your job the best that you can and give it all you can and learn from someone as well as teach what you know and share your knowledge as well as helping others and the promotions will come.

"Challenge Yourself To Be The Best In Your Mind And The Best You Will Become"--Luciano The Key Santini

 "Challenge Yourself To Be The Best In Your Mind And The Best You Will Become"--Luciano The Key Santini

Good morning and hello my friends and how are we doing this beautiful Saturday morning. I was thinking to day about talking about a new way to search out in your mind who you are and where you want to be. I find that most people when I coach them either on life or just a career change they always want the change to happen instantly. 

I understand people want the changes in a career to happen immediately but the truth is that to make a career change it takes time and planning and much focus because there are so many piece to that puzzle that needs to take place.

Here is an example of what I mean: Let us say that you want to go out start a new job search and you feel that you have what it takes for this new position you are searching for. You start going to companies that you have targeted and you find that they are hiring but they are not hiring you. What happens after a while is that you begin to have doubts about who you are as a person and that is one thing you need to avoid at all times.

You need to stay positive at all times though sometimes that can be challenging for us as human beings and that is OK because that is part of life and we need to have that understanding from the get go. Then you need to realize that you do have the talent and the skills for that position you have been applying for.

 Then why is it that you are not hired!! Well take a look at yourself and figure out what you are doing and be aware of what is happening when you enter the interviewing process. Be aware of your body language and be aware of certain questions you might be asking prior to the hiring manager asking.

 What you do is to wait for the questions and makes sure you understand the question totally and answer it accordingly.

What you need to remember and must be aware is about who you are and what are you trying to convey during the interview. You must convey the skills specifically to the position you are applying for. Then comes the end question: Do you have any questions for me or for us if it is a panel? I find that most people become afraid to ask questions because they want the job and so they answer with a big NO! NONE.

What just happened? Well what happened is that you just bombed the interview because you showed no interest in the company, you are simply hoping for a job. So be aware of interview questions and do your diligent research on both the company and yourself and good luck on your next interview my friends and if you need any assistance let me know I am here to bring you solutions to your problems and situations.

Watch the one ahead of you, and you’ll learn why he is ahead. Then emulate him.
One of the surest ways to achieve success is to observe the actions of successful people, determine what principles they regularly employ, and then use them yourself. The principles of success, as Andrew Carnegie said, are definite, they are real, and they can be learned by anyone willing to take the time to study and apply them. If you are truly observant, you will find that you can learn something from almost everyone you meet. And it isn’t even necessary that you know them. 

You may choose great people who are no longer alive. The important thing is to study their lives, and then learn and apply in your own life the specific principles these people used to achieve greatness. 

"Life will always bring challenges"--Luciano The Key Santin

 Willpower is the outgrowth of definiteness of purpose expressed through persistent action, based on personal initiative.
Envious people sometimes attribute success primarily to luck. Nothing could be more wrong. As coach Darryl Royal once observed, “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” Success occurs when you have a definite purpose for your life and you take the initiative to follow through with action.

 You may make mistakes occasionally — everyone does — but any action is far better than doing nothing.

Luciano Santini Specializes on providing solutions to you as an individual or as a company to reach your full potential.

"Life will always bring Challenges but guess what it will not be the challenges that stop you from moving forward it will how you respond to the challenges"--Luciano The Key Santini

  

What do you get when you hear rumors at your job that your company is about to close down or it is about to start downsizing? What happens is that people begin to freak out and go into a panic.People will naturally become afraid especially if they have been employed at the company for a long time.

 Questions that come to mind: What will I tell my family? How will I explain to my family? Where will I find a new job at my age? All these questions that are very scary indeed.

 What you do is stop listening to rumors and to people that have no idea what is really happening in the company. Then you ask the top people or go to your Human Resources manager and straight out ask and explain your concerns.

You will be able to tell by the conversation you have whether they have been rumors or not and at that point you start to look for another job without informing anyone just do it. Get yourself some advice form an expert and get going and move forward and guess what if the rumors are true then you are prepared and if they are not there is nothing to worry about either way you were prepared.

Remember that there will always be people that will laugh at your downfall, people that love to stomp on all your dreams and goals. These are the type of people you want to just stay away from at all times no matter who they are. Sometimes these people are loved ones or best friends so we thought!!!

Presidents Day and Me -Luciano The Key Santini

 A little video We put together a little while back. Jay Lopez does such good work with video.

What about Monday well today is going to be one of those days where all I do is hang out with my sons and perhaps make myself some great coffee which I' m mixing  as I write. The beans are roasting and the smell in the house is incredible MMMMMM. You see I figured that buying my own beans and roasting them myself and then grinding them and brewing would be a job but it is worth it believe me my friends it is worth it.

I love this drawing of me by a person who did it while I was doing a motivational speech. I was touched by it.
Sometimes one has to see what one looks through the eyes of others to find out who you are as a person.

It is Monday and it is President's Day. What does that mean and why do we celebrate it? Is that not a good question of course it is. Let us look at this:

 Who Knew?

Presidents' Day - What Does it Mean?

From Lauren Himiak, former About.com Guide

To some, the observance of Presidents' Day in the United States goes very much unnoticed. Local newspapers splash ads of “President’s Day Sales!” and many get the day off from work. But have you ever stopped to think about this important day of recognition?

History

Presidents' Day is intended (for some) to honor all the American presidents, but most significantly George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. According to the Gregorian or "New Style" calendar that is most commonly used today, George Washington was born on February 22, 1732. But according to the Julian or "Old Style" calendar that was used in England until 1752, his birth date was February 11th. Back in the 1790s, Americans were split - some celebrated his birthday on February 11th and some on February 22nd.

When Abraham Lincoln became president and helped reshape our country, it was believed he, too, should have a special day of recognition.

 Tricky thing was that Lincoln’s birthday fell on February 12th. Prior to 1968, having two presidential birthdays so close together didn't seem to bother anyone. February 22nd was observed as a federal public holiday to honor the birthday of George Washington and February 12th was observed as a public holiday to honor Abraham Lincoln’s birthday.

In 1968, things changed when the 90th Congress was determined to create a uniform system of federal Monday holidays. They voted to shift three existing holidays (including Washington's Birthday) to Mondays. The law took effect in 1971, and as a result, Washington's Birthday holiday was changed to the third Monday in February. 

But not all Americans were happy with the new law. There was some concern that Washington's identity would be lost since the third Monday in February would never fall on his actual birthday. There was also an attempt to rename the public holiday "Presidents' Day", but the idea didn't go anywhere since some believed not all presidents deserved a special recognition.

Even though Congress had created a uniform federal holiday law, there was not a uniform holiday title agreement among the individual states. Some states, like California, Idaho, Tennessee and Texas chose not to retain the federal holiday title and renamed their state holiday "President's Day." From that point forward, the term “Presidents' Day” became a marketing phenomenon, as advertisers sought to capitalize on the opportunity for three-day or week-long sales.

In 1999, bills were introduced in both the U.S. House (HR-1363) and Senate (S-978) to specify that the legal public holiday once referred to as Washington's Birthday be "officially" called by that name once again. Both bills died in committees.

Today, President’s Day is well accepted and celebrated. Some communities still observe the original holidays of Washington and Lincoln, and many parks actually stage reenactments and pageants in their honor. The National Park Service also features a number of historic sites and memorials to honor the lives of these two presidents, as well as other important leaders.

"Goals Are Like Ideas We All Have Them We Just Never Put Enough Effort Into Them To Make Them Worthwhile"--Luciano The Key Santini

 "Goals Are Like Ideas We All Have Them We Just Never Put Enough Effort Into Them To Make Them Worthwhile"--Luciano The Key Santini

In a world where no one really cares whether you survive as a business, what and how do you look at the your customers,family and friends? You see as a business solutions provider those are questions I will always ask you as an individual or business owner. The reason why is because of the following:

What are some of the real issues a small business owner is facing today.

Let look at some such as. Lack of marketing this is a big one though we as small business owners do not take a serious look at this we really should. We need t ask for help when we needed it the most. We need to reach out a to someone who can guide you through t hep process of marketing. 

We need to find someone who can walk us through the entire search for the right techniques that will meet our needs in our specific business that we are running.

What about budgeting? We need money to make money so everyone says right well the truth of the matter is that you do some pretty tight budgeting with little money as long as the little money you may have you spend it in the right areas that are needed the most and make the most sense in other words use some common sense.

How about managing your time as an owner correctly  oh yes time is money right well it can be if you manage it correctly and that takes some serious thinking yes critical thinking on how you are going to use your time. 

One must also learn the techniques that are out there right and if you cannot find the right way to utilize your time efficiently then hire someone to teach you immediately.There is more then meets the ye when it comes to managing your time and business.

We are always thinking about promising ourselves some downtime -- a few days or even hours when we cut back on our workload and give our self a chance to relax. So exactly when are do that? Today, can be that day take it cancel appointments and call and just relax we have to start some time might as well be today.you've got to start.
