To Live A Full Life One Must Be Willing To Adapt To The Changes That Come So When Challenges Arrive We Are Ready To Conquer Them One At A Time"-- Santini Self-Development Enterprises

"To Live A Full Life One Must Be Willing To Adapt To The Changes That Come So When Challenges Arrive We Are Ready To Conquer Them One At A Time"--Luciano The Key Santini

Farmers know that fields have to lie fallow or nothing planted in them will bloom. The same principle applies to your life. If you've been working far too many hours, it's time to find a way to relax truly so that you, too, can grow during the appropriate season. So don't fret too much if you're feeling a little low energy. Get more sleep. Eat nourishing foods, and you'll bounce back more vigorous than ever. 

Change is all around us not just in our daily loves but at work within out circle of friends and our relationships. Change will always be in the way so what do you do you ask! Well you can resist and die!!! or you change and adapt and live a bountiful life it is your choice my friends.

Sometime we do not see the change that is needed to survive until it is to late and then we cry and moan and feel pity for ourselves BOO HOO fight back and make the change you need to make and truly enjoy your life family and friends. We look outside of ourselves and make judgements on others and oops we forget to look at ourselves. Sometimes we are our own worst enemy because we tent to avoid the issues that really need to be looked at our own.

You see sometimes we look outside of ourselves only and we only see the outside of others. We need to take the time and talk open our mouths and say something to that neighbor or person who has been sitting in the next cubicle and perhaps maybe they might just teach us a lesson or two about life.


Business well I love to train and teach business owners and their staff regarding the visions and missions regarding their business. I find that the only person who somewhat understand the above is the owners and no one else. Why is that? simple really it is because they never take the time to explain it, they simply hire and fire. My friends and business owners life is about how you run your business and human behavior. We must understand human behavior simply put (What may work for you may be offensive to me) and visa versa.

One of my passions is to get people to see what they do not see or do not understand and then how to reach their potential from within and to learn who they are and who they would like to transform into. Business is the same look at your business and see what you do not see and understand what you do nit understand to have a better understanding of both business and staff.


One of my favorite author ,mentor and teacher Napoleon Hill of who I have studied for the last 14 years once said:

Napoleon Hill said, "Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of equal or greater benefit."
Here is the key, we have the opportunity to turn failure into success, to turn adversity into lessons learned, challenges into resolve, but it's up to us to see the vision of possibility and have the faith and resolve to get back up and keep moving toward our goals. And when we do that it is guaranteed that we will have something of great benefit to share with others.

Next Week All about Business engagement.

"No Challenges No Progress"--Luciano The Key Santini & Santini Self-Development Enterprises.


Hello my friends and it has a been about a week now since I wrote on my blog and the reason being is simple just have been really busy in my new position and well it has been a bit challenging but as I always say 

"No Challenges No Progress"--Luciano The Key Santini & Santini Self-Development Enterprises.

You see when we have no challenges then there is no progress some people will agree and of course those that have no goals and are in their comfort zone and afraid for change well of course they will disagree with me and my simple rule YAY!!!! I love it!!!


 Sometimes in life we feel that the challenges that come our way are way to harsh to understand and difficult to get through but let me just say that nothing is going to change until you make it change and stick with whatever change that may be. Sometime we need to just take a look at any situation from a different point of view and say that is it and take the bull by the horns and make the change that is needed to make a better life for yourself.


 Business for Everyone who is a leader

Take a good look on how you are leading.  If you are a leader and you are not constantly improving  your skills there is almost no chance that you will increase efficiency in your organization or business small or large.You have to be able to do an analysis on yourself as a leader. 

Many questions one needs to ask and perhaps one needs to make changes such making changes with people and moving them where they can do the most.
If you feel that you are not an effective leader then two things must take place one learn them and implement as quickly as possible or let someone else lead.



You must take a good look at the procedures that are in place. One must take a close look at what procedures are working and which are not and make the changes asap or fall behind and play catch up every day. Take a close look at the processes that are outdated and only exist because they have always been done that way.

 Use your imagination for your good customer who believe in what you do. I always say to never ever assume that because you see you clients today they will return tomorrow. The winners will be the ones who are always looking for way to be more efficient and more focused.

Capabilities of your people and your organization
If you as organization is counting on the capabilities of your staff to build your business and to get noticed you will find yourself fighting an uphill battle and unable to look into the future with confidence.
Living without a definite major purpose promises nothing but a scant living.
You may get by in life without a Definite Major Purpose, but you will never get ahead. Definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all achievement. Financial goals in particular should be specific, definite, and measurable. You should know what you plan to earn, by when, and how you plan to do so.

 The greatest advantage of financial security is the peace of mind that comes from knowing that, whatever challenges life brings, you are equipped to deal with them. You will be better at whatever you choose to do because you can focus on opportunities instead of struggling to eke out a living.

On Management and Communication
I believe that most managers fight their on insecurities with themselves and thus do a crappy job with their peers and staff members why is that? The simple fact that when this happens the staff members pay the price! They the managers are never available to their staff but instead hide behind their position 
 (Anyone ever deal with that type of manager??) 

If you have please leave me some comments and examples would love to use them. The or most should remember that efficient communication is extremely important in any organization!!.

 What is passion? I ask my clients this one question all the time. What I get for answers are not what I was hoping but it is a start.

Passion is a quality that you must have or fine within yourself. This is what will make you reach your goals in life. This is what bring life into our dull lives at times when we are feeling down and depressed. This is what brings us to a point of no return!! This is what will make us smile and bring joy to all those around us so if you do not know what your passion is then sit relax grab yourself a cup of strong coffee or mellow tea and figure it it out.

Sometimes we know what we do wrong but either afraid to admitted to anyone and never to ourselves and you see my friends that is where the major issue lies within ourselves. We know that life is not always fair and not always do we get what we want and our expectations usually never come out as expected why is that?

Well for starters that is life and life my friend is a roller coaster. Yes it is. Sometimes we need to sit back and realize that our lives are not perfect and never will be, however we can really try to make things and situations as easy as possible for ourselves and stop believing that will be perfect because if we do move in our lives daily weekly yearly or whatever we are in for a big disappointment.

We have to take a look at who we are and who we want to become and start being practical and so much idealistic because this will  make our life pretty difficult. Sometimes we want to have the best job and though you know your ideas work better then what they may be offering to you as an employee you may want to stop pushing against their ideas and work harder to prove that your are better just need to be patient.

This is a way to create a better perspective about where you are and where you may be headed. Be positive and Bremen that each day you have the choice to have a great day or a bad day my friends it is your choice your choice because you always have a choice always!!!

Here is something I found on the Internet which seems interesting:
 
By  Tricia L. Nadolny

Two former state employees have claimed in a lawsuit they were bullied by a supervisor after reporting that she regularly took paid two-hour lunch breaks. Sandra Miner of Pittsfield and Carla Haase of Concord say they complained about the abuse to officials at the state’s Department of Health and Human Services, but nothing was done.


The harassment – which they describe as being carried out by their supervisor Lisa Derepentigny as well as a “clique” in the office – was so intense that both women suffered severe emotional distress and took early retirement, they claim in a lawsuit filed at Merrimack County Superior Court.
A department spokeswoman and Derepentigny both declined to comment. The lawyer handling the suit at the attorney general’s office did not return a message left yesterday.

Santini Self-Development Enterprises--Luciano The Key Santini

 Good morning and well friends I must apologize to you for not posting on Saturday as usual but there is a reason why which I will share a bit of. You see I was promoted in my organization and well I had to go and check out my new office in a different city and so I had to travel out and see it  and that was why HUH? Yes that was a good reason in my mind and yet I feel that I should have written first and then gone to check out the city because that would have been the right thing to do.

I also found out that hey! no one is perfect and so I cut myself some slack and went easy on myself because I was being to hard on myself. I was being far to demanding on myself and my family and my time of which I manage pretty well. 

I have to be honest I was trying to hard to convince myself of how good I really am at what I do and so I asked my wife to sit with ,me and tell me why I was being so demanding to the point where I was grumpy to those around me.

She stated to me something very important which made sense to me anyway. She stated that sometimes we as humans take the easy way out meaning that when we make mistakes we blame others and not take responsibility for our own actions and I said WOW so true and so I took responsibility for my own action and guess what? 

I realized that I was fine LOL The truth was that I was blaming my trip of which I arranged so the reality is I should have written my blog the night before and set it up to be published Saturday morning but I did not and that is why I apologized to you my friends and readers and to my family YAy I did it!!.

 BUSINESS

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN EITHER AN INDIVIDUAL OR A BUSINESS SETS GOALS THAT ARE TO LARGE AND SEEM TO LARGE TO ACCOMPLISH FROM THE VERY BEGINNING?

Yes they are all capitals because I want to make a strong point and perhaps you know this but just in case you do not. What happens can really hurt your business or you as a person because you are setting yourself foe failure. You will loose money in a business and you will hurt your ego and your self esteem as an individual.

Here is a great example of what I am talking about my friends. I love Napoleon Hill and have been studying his words and writings for the last 14 years;



 A rudderless ship and a purposeless person are eventually stranded on desert sand.
The goals you set for yourself — like the rudder of a ship — will guide you toward your destination, and without them, like a ship without a rudder, you’ll find it impossible to stay the course. Make goal-setting a habit in your life. If you sometimes have trouble staying focused, set small, attainable goals and stick with the job until it’s done. 


Examples might include finding a faster, more efficient way to do a routine job. Or taking the most difficult jobs first when you have the most energy and your concentration is at its highest level. Save the easiest jobs for last. A few small successes will inevitably lead to bigger achievements.

"Sometimes To Care About Someone Is Not An Easy Task To Tell Them The Truth Is Even More Difficult Be In Business Or A Relationship"-Luciano The Key Santini --Santini Self-Development Enterprises

"Sometimes To Care About Someone Is Not An Easy Task To Tell Them The Truth Is Even More Difficult Be In Business Or A Relationship"-Luciano The Key Santini


Good morning my friends around the world. How are we doing today YAY!! it is Friday. Have you ever had to use a scare tactic to help a friends to see where their lives are going?

I believe that sometimes scare tactics are the best way to help people avoid failure and regret. 
I believe that if you are a friend who really cares about another person you should do if possible get them to see their lives from a different perspective. People will tell you that they are your friends but when your best interest  is not looked out for then you should ask yourself the questions is this person really a friend or a user.


Depending on this person you should either walk away from them and never look back or cherish their friendship.

If you want to do a great job in a position and be respected then you must have or build up your skills to offer a return on investment --Luciano The Key Santini


If you want to do a great job in a position and be respected then you must have or build up your skills to offer a return on investment --Luciano The key Santini


I wrote this quote because I have experienced something lately that I thought did not exists and WOW I was surprised on how certain individuals will get by doing or using other peoples talents. I had heard of issues and situations like these but to experience it first hand was amazing. This is why most businesses private or non-profit will fail.

This quote is worth repeating:
 If you want to do a great job in a position and be respected then you must have or build up your skills to offer a return on investment --Luciano The key Santini

I call this the art of manipulating and using people. I have worked so hard at learning and teaching my skills to others so they can give something to the world and to those around them. I have been amazed after watching these individuals get by and really offering nothing to their staff members.

My suggestion to them is to learn to follow and to learn from people and ask for help when needed and not  ignore the obvious  which is if you do not know something understand that you do not know what you do not know and accept it.

"When We Know Ourselves And Are Honest Then We Can Make The Change That Is Needed To Find Our Passion"--Luciano Santini

 "When We Know Ourselves And Are Honest Then We Can Make The Change That Is Needed To Find Our Passion"--Luciano Santini

Good morning everyone my friends. Today is Saturday and well I am feeling wonderful and thankful and grateful for all of the great things in my life which include you my readers who are truly appreciated and of course my family. I woke up this morning and searching for a good way of starting my weekend and well I came up with the following;

I felt that I needed to tell everyone that we need to realize just how much influence we truly have with everyone around us. Do you realize that if are in a bad mood people around you will change  and also join you in your misery. So today my friends if you are feeling happy about anything in your life please do not be afraid to share it with those you love and just friends will be a great way too start the weekend.




 BUSINESS CORNER

Let me start with a questions for you. What is business and how economics affects it?
Well we know that a business as a commerce is the where people can produce and exchange services or products. It is also a place where it allows individuals to create a valuable product or a valuable service.

Yes the economy will always an affect on your business but you see this also where an owner or a managers and leaders either in the business itself or politically should know when to make changes and sometimes the changes can be pretty drastic.  

Either need to know when the changes need to happen before the business begins to falter and wait till it is to late and you have to fire your employees or have to close the doors. They need too know when to reach out for help if that is what they need to survive. 

The problem with waiting  and the searching for help is when more money can be lost because think about this,you bring in a coach or a consultant and your business is so far gone and yet you are expecting a miracle and guess what rarely does it happen. When it does not happen well you loose more money.



Some major issues that are coming or already might be here are: 

TAXES- Business owners both small and large are still wondering what the tax cuts will bring and mean to both owners and consumers. Less money less spending.

What about finding the right people for the right positions. Is there such a thing as a shortage of skilled employees of course there is. Take a look at the factory and manufacturing jobs. The manufacturing corporations both small and large are having a difficult time finding skilled employees to fill their positions because they need skilled and trained people and well they are hard to find. 



One of the main reason is because they are computers that are being used or in other words technology is taking over and most of the skilled workers are missing this component to the equation in their job search thus for not getting hired due to lack of experience with technology.



 
 Too much truth will make some people madder than too little.

School children sometimes play a game called “Honesty.” The rules are simple: For a designated period of time, the participants must tell the truth regardless of the subject. They then ask each other leading questions such as, “Do you like my hair?” “Do you think Lindsay is cute?” Inevitably someone gets angry when he or she discovers that these friends had been shading the truth, telling “little white lies,” to spare the person’s feelings. Even when the game is over, its lessons are not soon forgotten. Being honest with others doesn’t mean being brutal. It isn’t necessary to tell people everything you don’t like about them under the guise of being frank with them “for their own good.” Sometimes it’s better if we don’t know every person’s innermost feelings about us. Respect for another’s self-esteem often means telling them too little truth instead of too much.
