ARTArticleREALITY REPAIR: TIME, SWEAT, TEARS & NO PROMISES OF SOMETHING FOR NOTHINGREALITY REPAIR: TIME, SWEAT, TEARS & NO PROMISES OF SOMETHING FOR NOTHING Byr Bill Cottringer “You don't get something for nothing; You can't have freedom for free; You won't get wiser With the sleep still in your eyes No matter what your dreams might be.”rn~Neil Peart. Shame on us all!ARTArticleRecruiting Tips | Top 7 Tips for Business Owners to Find Top TalentIn my business consulting practice there has been quite the uptick recently of business owners struggling to find the right talent. It sure is tough to start the new year off with a charge when you’re so completely frustrated from the paltry results of your people. It is a painful feeling to see that you have poured so much of your time, money and energy trying to improve the performance of employees who you now realize just aren’t the right fit. If this is you: RESIST the urge to throw in the towel only to revert to being the one-man show (or one- woman-show).ARTArticleRehearsing Your Way to SuccessFrom Paper to Podium: Rehearse your way to prime time Think back to the last conference you attended. While an event’s keynote or session speakers may be subject matter experts, most are not professional speakers. If you’ve ever wondered what makes one presenter sparkle while others fall flat, I’d bet you the difference is the time each speaker spent rehearsing. Many speakers believe that their presentations are ready for prime time the moment the toner's dry on their PowerPoint printout.ARTArticleRelationship Facts That Get In The Way of RelatingRelationship Facts That Get In The Way of Relating Byr Bill Cottringer “Relationships are the real test to find out if you are as good as you think you are.” ~The author.ARTArticleRelationshipsOur connections through relationships are so important. Sometimes we get so busy that we intend on calling that special someone, or taking them to lunch, but before you know it’s the weekend and you have a full agenda. It is easy to sit back and claim that this one didn’t return your call, or this one didn’t do this or that one didn’t do that. Well, you get my point. Life is a two way street, but there are other factors that are not in that equation as well.r ARTArticleRelease All ExpectationsWhen you are comfortable with yourself you release all expectations of others. I say this in part because Valentine’s Day is approaching and there will be many hearts that get broken because they expect others to fulfill their wishes. There is an easy evaluation of this. If you squeeze a bunch of lemons you cannot be shocked when they produce lemon juice. The same generalization applies to expectations of love. If you are with someone who does not feel love, or know how to love, you cannot be surprised when he does not know how to show it.ARTArticleRemake YourselfRemake yourself. If the way you're born and christened doesn't suit you, why, just remake yourself. Wally Brantley became W. Emerson Brantley III. Now, there's a big difference in vibratory frequency betwee Wally Brantley and W. Emerson Brantley III. Know who he was talking to the most? He was talking the most to himself, to what he identified with. He changed his outer reality to reflect his inner reality. Another good friend of mine is marketing maverick and mave Russ von Hoelscher.ARTArticleReputation Wins CustomersDefinition: 'A Sales Legend is a sales person who stands above the rest. He or She will likely enjoy a great lifestyle, earn more and be less stressed than the rest. They will win, win and win again. They will be loved and recommended by customers. They are virtual team leaders, and well supported.ARTArticleSales Legends Qualify Hard, Win More!Ever wondered why some people consistently make millions at the top of the sales ladder and others struggle to meet quota? In this series of articles, based on 999 Legendary Selling For The 21st Century, we review the differentiators between those who consistently over achieve and those who do not. Many of these people are legends in the selling profession. This is the second article where we briefly review another key differentiator – Qualifying Your Deal. A Sales Legend will know with a high degree of certainty whether or not they can, and will, win a deal.ARTArticleSales Legends Value IntegrityEver wondered why some people consistently make millions at the top of the sales ladder and others struggle to meet quota? In this series of articles, based on 999 Legendary Selling For The 21st Century, we review the differentiators between those who consistently over achieve and those who do not. Many of these people are legends in the selling profession.ARTArticleScreenwriting--lesson one"Introduction to Screenwriting" Week One Although this class is entitled "Intro to Screenwriting", it's my belief that, in general, writing is writing. In fact, in order to understand how to write for the screen--large or small--one must first have an intimate understanding of the structure and function of story. I've written for television and film, books and short stories, comic books and stage.ARTArticleScreenwriting--part three"Introduction to Screenwriting" Week Three Welcome back! Although the basic structure of: SITUATION, CHARACTER, OBJECTIVE, OPPONENT, DISASTER remains the method of choice for diagramming basic plot structure (insuring that all basic elements are in place), and GOAL, CONFLICT, DISASTER, REACTION, DILEMMA, DECISION is the preferred method for diagramming basic plot dynamics (regulating the flow of action), there are many, many other ways of looking at the basic questions.ARTArticleScreenwriting--part two"Introduction to Screenwriting" Week Twor Welcome back! One of the things most important to me is the integration of art and life. After all, if you succeed, but don't get to enjoy your success, or destroy your health or family in the process, where is the sense in that? This is especially important to the writer or actress.ARTArticleScreenwriting-Part Four"Introduction to Screenwriting" Week Four Hi, there, and Welcome back! You've probably noticed by now that this is pretty high-level material. In fact, you could probably take the information in any one week and stretch it out into an ordinary 10-week class. Hell with it. I'm making the assumption that some of you out there are red-hot, and ready to trot. The others? Well, it's a computer class, after all. Just print everything out, and go over it and over it and over it.ARTArticleSecret Influence In SubmissionI was moving along with one of the most important things I do on a daily (okay every 4-5 days) basis. This is something I can’t do without and gives me the greatest of pleasures. Yes, I was cooking chili and baking cornbread. Eating is a pleasure especially when you place a personal touch on the preparation. As I browned the ground turkey and mixed ingredients for the cornbread I considered my next posting I had began. All of a sudden a line of thought came to me so strong that it changed the direction of what I would post next.ARTArticleSecrets of Profitable RemodelingIntroduction What is remodeling? Remodeling is updating or altering the appearance and functional utility of a building.Home remodeling is big business. It accounts for about 40% of all residential construction spending and about 2% of the U.S. economy. So to answer the question “Is it worthwhile to remodel my house?” Probably; however, there are many factors to consider. Why Remodel? First you need to determine what’s your motivation? Why do you want to remodel?ARTArticleSecrets to Owning the RoomYou may be surprised to learn that, with rare exceptions, your audience is rooting for you. Every time you step up to speak, they want you to succeed. If you’re ever witnessed a comedian bomb or a singer hit a “pitchy” note, you’ll know exactly what I mean. The audience shudders with embarrassment for the performer. They want the person on stage to be entertaining — that’s why they came. The same holds true for a speaker giving a presentation.ARTArticleSelf-Awareness: The Great and Powerful OzSelf-awareness helps us wake up to aspects that are already present within us - we just don't see them. The blind spots of our society's conditioning over time can cause us to focus on what is allegedly 'wrong with us'. Sure, we all have shortcomings that challenge us to grow.ARTArticleSelf-confidence, Presence and LeadershipYou know the old expression - "They're a born leader!"? Is there any such thing - or can we all be leaders? Is there any secret that can be learned - that we can all learn? Or are some "leaders" and most of us "followers"? Well, first of all, let's get a few facts straight. Most people who find themselves in leadership positions, wouldn't be able to lead themselves out of a paper bag!ARTArticleSelf-EsteemSelf-Esteem Self-esteem is how a person evaluates themselves both emotionally and their self-worth. It is how one judges oneself. A person can apply and evaluate their Self-esteem both on an individual subject or globally. An example of a specific individual subject would be, “I am good at helping others,” and a global evaluation might be something like, “I never do anything right.” Self-esteem can also be positive or negative. So having a high self-esteem or a low self-esteem. This is also closely linked to our beliefs about our self. So where does our self-esteem come from?r ARTArticleSelf-Esteem and Your Inner VoicesIn chatting recently to a client who was on the brink of making a major upward career move, I was told that, whilst he was totally relaxed in almost a carefree way about everything that seemed to be just effortlessly happening around him, in his odd quiet moment he still heard a little voice inside him whisper “No you can’t!” We all have voices in our head, some that egg us on, some that put us down, some that put us under such pressure that we are paralysed when it comes to our moment to perform.ARTArticleSelf-Help and Self-DefenceBe careful what you wish for ‘cos you might just get it... so says the old expression. Of course, wishing, hoping or wanting won’t get you very far in life because, at the end of the day, we get what we believe – not what we wish for – and believing is not wishing, hoping or wanting, believing is seeing, feeling, hearing, smelling and tasting what you want as if you have it already.ARTArticleSelf-Help: Getting Your Priorities RightNo doubt you have heard the old saying that no one, on their deathbed, would ever say that they wished that they'd spend more time in the office! Well, given the mass hysteria that is the fear and panic that has been gripping world economies over the last few months, some don't even have the option of spending more time in that office anymore! I don't say that lightly, it's just a fact of the times in which we live - but a fact created by collective state of mind. For those of us who live in these times, there is an extraordinary onus on us to stay (or become) calm.ARTArticleSelf-Revealization Acceptance – Extensions into Higher ConsciousnessSelf-Revealization Acceptance is the most obvious, unbiased freedom of mind, body, and soul concept ever given to mankind. It supersedes every idea of life revealed since time immemorial—every idea. Self-Revealization Acceptance is the definitive key to the universe, and the practice thereof completely assures success in every conceivable and desired paradigm.ARTArticleSelflessness as Pure SelfishnessWe are constantly reminded by various sources that it is best to give completely of ourselves to others without expectation of reward or special favor as a path of spiritual harmony or, as some may call it, salvation or redemption. Selfless giving, we are told, is something that will keep us grounded while, at the same time, in the good graces of the Infinite, God or, as Self-Revealization Acceptance defines it, the Creative Power of the Universe.ARTArticleSell Your Hobby – Now is the Time!Although we see the economy slowing down in so many areas, and many of us and our colleagues are unemployed, the best news is that online sales in America are continuing not just to rise, but to reach out for the stars! 2010 is predicted by many sources to see the beginning of a spike of up to a 50% rise in online selling. For many people this represents a huge opportunity. You do not have to go back and work in an insecure situation for an employer you don’t like.ARTArticleSeven Secrets To Maximizing Rewards In Your Business And Your LifeLet's talk about seven secrets to maximizing rewards in your business and your life. Let's focus on time and optimization, and let's start where we've got to start. Secret #1—All things being equal among the normal run of humanity, nobody has any advantage over you. Now, God bless 'em, there are people who are born with certain problems that don't put them into the normal category, but blessing them, let's move on. We've all got "E", or “energy” capacity, thank God or the Gods.ARTArticleSeven Ways To Overcome AngerTB Wright I am a firm believe in the "tell the truth now, tell the truth later" method of living a successful life. Truth is authentic, clean, and it just simply feels right. We have a great method of disce ment for catching when people are telling the truth, including ourselves, and it's our feelings. So the best way to overcome anger is to tell the truth about it. If that feels right, then you are on the right path. You don’t have to agree with these steps for them to work well for you either. And know that it isn't that anger doesn't come up for all of us, it does.ARTArticleShedding Negativity“Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you’re riding through the ruts, don’t you complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don’t bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!” ~ Bob Marley “Blame no one. Forgive yourself and others. There is no room for lifelong grudges or guilt complexes in such a short span as a lifetime.” ~ Joel Osteen Often times we carry negative feelings towards others.ARTArticleShining Your LightI conduct classes with the title, Shining Your Light, because I believe so strongly in this message: You are a light being and have a light that is unique to you. When you stay buried under all the details of life, your light dims, and eventually, is not even distinguishable in the existence you’ve carved out. Truth is, at times it feels more like “existence” than living. It is understandable that, because your life is teeming with duties and tasks, you don’t realize that you have forgotten to tend to the oil lamp and really live the life you want.
