***What Do All the Most Successful People Have In Common? ...Mind Power!

Have you ever wondered if there was a common thread in all successful people? I have and through my own direct experience, I found that mind power is the number one reason why most people succeed at anything. One person that I was able to observe up close and personal was my ex-boyfriend Dennis Tito. Who is one of the most successful business men in Los Angeles.

Effective Tactics for Managing Consultant-Client Relationships

In order for consultants to be the most effective, a strong relationship must be formed between the consultant and the client.

So... Tell Me What You Want!

“So, tell me what you want, what you really, really want!” “I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want!”rn- SONG LYRICS – How many of you can definitely, absolutely, unequivocally, tell me right now, exactly what it is that you want and what you want your business to achieve? For most of us who run a small business this seems quite a fluid thing. What you want or what you think you want may change fairly frequently. It may depend on who we have been talking to.

Twenty Percent of Success Is Showing Up

Woody Allen, the American director, actor and comedian, once said, “80% of success is showing up.” This line has been repeated so often that it is now commonly thought of as being fact. But then again, who has said it isn’t fact? Mr. Allen may have taken this statistic from substantiated research. It may have come directly from the pages of the Harvard Business Review.

Find a Therapist You Can Trust

Trust is the foundation of all meaningful, healthy relationships in our lives, whether these relationships are formed with partners, friends, family members or colleagues. With trust, relationships develop and thrive, with each person learning from the other and growing from the experience.

Set Up A Time Sensitive Database to Grow Your Sales

If your prospect will need to purchase your service or product tomorrow and you call him today good things happen. The most important of which is his belief in your opinion of the importance of his issues (hard sentence, important point). You knew he would need you tomorrow and you called today. That's the company he wants to do business with! When I stop at the traffic light and the man approaches me saying “Hey buddy, wanna get her some flowers?”, I just close the window. I have absolutely no reason to talk with that man today and I really wish he would leave me alone. But…….

Goal Setting Success - A Myth? Or A Whale of a Yale Tale?

I don't know how many times I have read it. Maybe I've heard it even more. Sometimes it takes place at Yale; other times at Harvard. In some cases, it was in the 1950s; in other cases, it was in the 1970s. It has been referred to in bestselling books and on college campuses. It has been quoted by some the best-known business gurus, as well as many small business coaches. None of this makes a difference because no matter where or when people said it took place, it didn't.

How to Be Recognized as an Expert in Your Field and Have Prospects Banging on Your Door

When it comes to marketing your services, two facts hold true. One is, when things are important to people, they buy -- or at least attempt to buy -- from a recognized expert. The other is, to be most profitable, you must differentiate yourself from your competition. One of the most effective ways to differentiate yourself is to be a recognized expert in your field. So why don't more people market themselves as experts? It's simple. They do not believe they are worthy of the title.

Create Fans Not Clients

I remember it well. I was 12 years old when I heard Eric Clapton's first solo album. I can tell you where I was. I can tell you the first song I listened to. (It wasn't the first track.) I can tell you that I was an instant fan and have been ever since --- so much so that my oldest child, Erika, is named after him. Mr. Clapton has had his ups and down in life -- battling alcohol and drug addiction as well as depression. Sometimes these battles led to inspired works; sometimes they led to songs and albums that caused some fans to determine that "Slowhand" had lost it.

To Catch More Clients, Learn to Fish

If you had to survive solely on the fish you catch, you would do everything possible to give yourself the best opportunity to not only catch fish, but also catch those that taste good and provide bountiful portions. You would check reports about what kinds of fish are biting and where they are. You would make sure you had the appropriate bait for both the fish and the conditions. If you didn't have the right kind, you would get it. You would also need to know if they could be caught from shore or if you had to use a boat.

The Four-Letter Word That Will Kill Your Marketing Efforts

Comedian George Carlin had an infamous routine where he discussed the seven words you cannot say on broadcast television. Not surprisingly, five of the seven consist of four letters, enforcing the dubious connotation of something referred to as "a four-letter word." Other words such as "work" also have four letters, yet they have a good meaning ... that is until we are overstressed or thinking about a vacation. Then, the fact that it is a "four-letter word" becomes very evident.

Excuse Me, But Your Bucket Is Leaking

Sitting on the edge of a counter is a bucket. Only partially filled, it continues to let water escape -- drip by drip -- from a hole at the bottom. Scurrying back and forth is a team of people, trying in vain to add enough water to fill the bucket ... or at least keep it level. But the water leaks out faster than the people can add to it. So they work even harder, but again to no avail. Realizing that there is a problem, they call a meeting to discuss possible tactics for successfully adding even more water.

No one really cares about us as businesspeople; they care about how our businesses can help them achieve their objectives.

Success Is a Choice

A good friend of mine, Dick Herron, has a wonderful saying, "Success is a choice ... your choice." He has it pegged. Have you ever wondered why a competitor of yours -- a competitor who obviously doesn't have your knowledge, abilities, or experience -- is more successful than you? Let me assure you, it has nothing to do with knowledge, abilities, or experience. Having a better mousetrap no longer guarantees that people will beat a path to your door. Today, success goes to the one who has the proper mindset, the better plan, and the better system.

Weeds in the Garden of Life; Depression

In every garden of life; there are weeds. Weeds are vivacious predators that strangle plants and deplete them of their oxygen. They mask themselves in beautiful floral patterns in an attempt to blend into the garden’s surroundings, virtually unnoticed. Obstacles in your own life are similar to the“weeds;” they enter into your garden creating havoc before you even realize they are there. Unlike weeds, we cannot always control our aggressors simply by plucking them out of the ground and throwing them away. Life just isn’t like that.
