Free Video: Attracting the right people..

Surrounding yourself with supportive people who don't drain your energy is important no matter what you're trying to accomplish in life, whether it's building a business or raising children.

Attracting the right people into your life is like having the right teammates on a football team; you're all focused on the same goal of winning in life. Just like a football team needs a coach before it can succeed, you should start by finding a mentor. Someone who inspires you and is in a stage of life or business that you want to be in someday. If this person doesn't offer formal mentoring or coaching, ask them if they'd consider it. Maybe you can offer a bartering arrangement.

When you have a mentor you have access to their network of colleagues and acquaintances. Before you know it, you'll find yourself meeting new people who can help take you to new levels of success and contentment. Also, simply observing the type of people your mentor associates with will help inspire you and guide you as you choose new friends.

These subliminal videos will help you as you seek and learn from a mentor.

Now that you have the right mental attitude, it's time to get out and meet some people. Volunteer work is a good way, because people there will be like-minded and someone who is giving with their time is likely to make a good friend.

Wherever you're at, just be alert to people who stimulate your thinking and are interesting. Be sure to share your thoughts with them too so they
can find out as much about you as you do about them.

Friendship is a two-way street...once you believe you are likeable, you will attract the right people.

To help with these positive beliefs about yourself, don't forget to check out these videos.

Bigger Perspective = More Opportunities

I bet you have heard of others saying, “I am waiting for an opportunity, and I will make my move.” Many times, most of them end up “waiting” too long and gave up, or some make their move at the wrong opportunities. In fact, opportunities are everywhere. It is out there NOW and for you to discover. But the question is, how do we spot opportunities? Here is one Chinese ancient story that talk about this…

There was one farmer who was trying to explore new land and he stumbled upon a big Bottle Gourds Plant. Bottle gourd plants are famous for their fruits which can be hollowed out and used as water bottles. This particular plant grow amazingly BIG bottle gourds, what an opportunity the farmer thought! The farmer thought they can be used to make giant water bottles but only to realize that these giant fruits have skin that is just too thin to hold water. Water bottles made from these fruits leak and break very easily. Feeling very disappointed with his so-called “opportunity” and returned home.

He shared his findings to an amateur farmer and the amateur decided to see the “useless find” himself. The amateur finally saw the giant gourds and said “Wow! I can make good use of these big fruits!”. He dug out the entire plant and transported it back to his backyard and harvested all the giant fruits, tying them together. A few weeks later he had crafted out an extremely strong river raft, making use of the hollowed giant gourds as floats and the rafts soon become a profitable product! A useless material for a bottle turned out to be an useful and profitable material for a river raft! Certainly, the farmer missed out a very lucrative opportunity!

So what’s the secret? The answer lies in what the amateur see! The amateur had a bigger perspective, not by just looking at the conventional use of bottle gourds but looked far beyond that, and he saw a lot more uses of these giant gourds. Opportunities are everywhere, its the matter of whether you can actually see it or not…

Here’s a question for you to try out…

What will you do if you managed to buy a big piece of land at a ridiculously low price?

Think about it and have an answer before you read on.

It’s an opportunity right? So what will you do?

• Some people see it as a sure way for quick profit, buy low and sell high! Instant profit!
• And some others try to reap more out of it by turning it into a big farmland where you can harvest a lot all year round and making profit every year. Good perspective! Better than a one-off profit just by selling the land off.
• Others with bigger perspective see the opportunity to create more passive income, by investing money to build apartments and buildings on it and renting them out for more money!
• And you know what? Someone actually did a quick check on the soil and rocks and found out that there is a gold vein under it! Its a gold mine!

Sure enough, the bigger perspective you have, the more things you will see and the more opportunities you will discover. It also determines the level of success, or the amount of output you will gain from the opportunity. You can definitely gain something out of it, but is that the best you can gain from it? Do you see a small local business that can sustain your lifestyle or do you see a regional chain of outlets that can bring you heaps of money? Your talent of painting allows you to earn a name in your country or do you see your master pieces on a world tour that will make you a world famous artist? Your perspective of things determine your results!

Here are some books on broadening perspectives and see more opportunities. Spotting Business Opportunities and The Business You Can Start: Spotting The Greatest Opportunities In The Economic Downturn (Pathway to Business Success Series) gives you quick, proven methods to improve your ability to see more opportunities. Easy to follow methodologies provide you certain rules or guides that can lead you to see what others may not see. Not only to see, but how to act on them to make gains out from it!

 

  

 

Don’t wait! Opportunities are all out there now! Discover and act on it before others will!

Why some are more successful… The story of two stones…

I heard this inspiring story a few years ago, and it is very meaningful to me, on my views why some people are really successful while some do not. It is a mythical fantasy story of two stones who each have a different fate. Here it goes…

In a certain part of China, there is a majestic temple where thousands from all over the world come to worship. The entire temple was made with stone, all from the same mountain. The pillars, the Buddha statue, the roof are all finely crafted with stone.

One day, one of the stone slabs which made up the stairs leading to the temple was talking to the stone which is crafted into the Buddha. It exclaimed “Life is so unfair! We all came from the same mountain and why am I always get stepped on by thousands of people and you are placed high up and being worshipped by them?” Other stone slabs, also started ranting their anger and their dissatisfaction to the stone Buddha.

Finally, the stone Buddha spoke. “Can you see the difference between us? You are rectangular stone slabs that only need to endure 6 slices of the blades that made you today… I myself have to take thousands slices, hundreds of chippings and months of grinding to make me today!”

A short but truly meaningful story right? Success mostly happen after countless of failures and obstacles. People who are afraid of failure and unwilling to move out of their comfort zones are the many stone slabs in the temple, will see success or wealth befall on them. High achievers fail more than any other people. But they do not give up, they accept that failure is part of the process to achieve success, and they keep trying. Here are two points for you to think about:

Always plan to fail. Expect failure 99% all the time. Think about what you will do after each failure. If you do not plan or set your mindset right, you will be constantly disappointed. Many people expect themselves to succeed on the first try and they felt terribly painful and gave up when their first try turned out to be bad. If you are expecting failure all the time, you will be pleasantly surprised and happy when success finally happen! If you watch the interviews of millionares and successful people, you will hear them say they  didn’t expect this kind of success or result when they started. They plan to fail and they worked out plans to try again. They fine tune their plans and avoid making the same mistakes until they get it right. Truly, it is the formula for success!

Having a plan is not good enough. You must take action! Many people had great plans and said their plans were perfect and bound to succeed, but truly the fact was that the “perfect plan” was not executed because they feared failure. You can read all the books to success and agreeing to all ideas, understanding all methodologies to success. But if you did not try them out and see for yourself, you are in fact yet to fully understand it. “To know and not to do, is not yet to know.” You don’t have to have great success plans for a start, try something simple and achievable, apply the techniques and skills. Taste how success is like, and before you know it, you wanted more of it again. Being successful once can mean being successful again. You will be motivated and truly believe that all you had learnt are indeed true!

Overcome your fear of failure can bring you to great heights. Understanding that countless of failures are not true failures, but just feedback. Take that feedback and turn it to lesson learnt and try again, you are on the right track to success! There are million of ways to overcome failure, I strongly recommend these two wonderful books, Why People Fail: The 16 Obstacles to Success and How You Can Overcome Them and ,The Power of Failure: 27 Ways to Turn Life's Setbacks Into Success. These books cover numerous case studies and different ways to overcome them. Learn from their stories and cut short your journey to success.

Self Confidence ! – Know Yourself first

An Ancient Chinese proverb, “If you know yourself and know your enemies, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss ” . Very true!

Before we can really talk about self-confidence, we first need to talk about “self”.

What is “self”?

Who are “you”?

What are your core values and beliefs?

What do you love to think about?

Tough questions? Let me help you with this. Self is who you really are inside, and you have to understand this self. If you can’t understand your Self, then how can you have faith in yourself?

If you don’t have a good understanding about yourself, you will be prone to external factors that will affect you. There are hundreds and thousands of messages hammering you each day from media or people in your life. These messages will define who you are instead unless you understand yourself.

You want to reach your destination rather than be tossed about like a ship without a sail. So start taking time to get to know yourself.
Learn to enjoy your own company. And...dare I say it...fall in love with yourself.

Then you will have the confidence that will carry you forward.
So get to know your Self. Sometimes outside encouragement is helpful. So here are videos that you can watch effortlessly to help you get in the right frame of mind to grow and get to know your Self.

Click here for the video

But note, having a strong sense of self doesn't mean you have to become arrogant and full of pride. It means being completely content and confident with who you are. And when that happens, look out, because your income will grow too.

Start your video here to being knowing yourself!

How to be 10 times more effective at work

Have you ever wondered why some people are better workers than many others? Or some workers are able to get into good books of their bosses? Everyone work for the same number of hours but some are better paid, even without doing overtime?!

"I work 12 hours a day and I deserve more than others who do not" Yes. Your boss like your hardworking attitude but never thought of promoting you or giving you a raise. Why? Here's an example, a boss got two employees, A and B:

Employee A has been in the company for 10 years. He is the first to arrive at work and the last to leave. He has diligently work with the suppliers to make sure they deliver on time and also do considerable sales to his regular customers. He is an expert and give good advice to customers.

Employee B is a new hire in the company. He is always punctual at work and leave on time. He work with suppliers and build relationship with them by presenting his sales data, showing them what are the more popular products, follow up with them on various contracts. As a result, he is able to get cheaper deals from them. Employee A also work with customers to identify their needs, promote products which are more suitable, design better packages for bulk sales. He also do regular after call sales to ensure his customers are satisfied.

If you are their boss, who will you likely to promote? Of course it is Employee B! That's because he created more value in his work. Also, he is able to do more sales and generate more income to the company. There are many Employee As out there but Employee Bs are rare and hard to come by. They are treasured assets to the companies and companies do all out to keep them, by giving them better pay, better benefits.

So are you Employee A or Employee B? Do you want to become a valuable asset to your company that will do what it takes to keep you? Here are three learning points that will help you to create more value :

Do more than expected. Doing more than expected is creating value to your work. A simple follow up email to the customers only takes a few minutes but the value of it is tremendous. Think in your customers' perspectives and exceed their expectations, and before you know it, you are already one of the best few employees around!

Be generous. Don’t be afraid of giving more. Give more and ask nothing in return shows that you are sincere in helping others with their work and meeting their needs. This is part of creating value, in the long run, your generous offers will be highly valued and others will be more than willing to pay a premium for it. I have been generously sharing my gardening experience and offer help and advice to others’ gardens and today, some of them recommended me to advise on bigger gardens with a pretty amazing consultation fee!

Leverage. Always leverage time to create value, everyone has the same number of hours each day but each of them create different amount of value. Think about ways to create more value with less time and money. Reduce the  spent on low value work, like clearing email, arranging logistics and administrative tasks. Focus more time on activities that will create more value. For me, I spend most of my time working with my customers and doing presentations to secure better deals and do my email clearing and leave applications at the end of the day.

These are indeed habits that I observed in high achievers. Creating value is in other words, increasing your value to your company, because you are able to generate more revenue, better relationships and highly effective at work. If you want to learn more skills to increase your ability to create more value, try these books, How to Be Twice as Smart: Boosting Your Brainpower and Unleashing the Miracles of Your Mind and Your Brain at Work: Strategies for Overcoming Distraction, Regaining Focus, and Working Smarter All Day Long. These books are extremely useful, I read them again and again over several years. The first book, I have it for almost 10 years now, and I am still reading it. The skills are simple and easy to master, and definitely give you an edge above all others! So try reading them!
