Member You - Automatic Positive Thoughts (APTs) Rule!
The buzzing of the alarm clock rudely awakens you to the reality of another Monday morning and the beginning of another work week. As the ugly thoughts of what you face at work race through your mind, you think to yourself how you don’t—no can’t, go into work again. You wonder whether you should call in sick, but realize that you can’t do that again as you’ve already done it too many times. You have to go in, but you can’t face that place again.What would cause someone to feel this way? What could be so bad? Is it because he is irresponsible? After all, his employer pays him for his services. Is she just plain lazy or disloyal? Shouldn’

The first step is having ‘Two-Minute-Strategies™’ to make self-esteem and personal-power automatic - and run on auto-pilot.

Marketing is conducted for the masses, but the customers come in one at a time. When you spend your money, you need to get value for your investment and you need to get an asset. That asset will be an asset or client that you can turn into a long term business value.One of the worst mistakes 99% of the businesses make is letting prospects and clients come and go with no thought as to how valuable they really are and how valuable they are to the future security of your business. Before you can get this answer you must find the value of your customer.Every customer is going to buy. How many times throughout the year? How long? If y
People are ‘unsure’ of their place, and who-and-what they are. Confidence is an assumption – not a tangible entity like a leg. Is self-confidence a product of your bank-account, a decade or two of success?
Real as a Right-Sided-Stroke
After fifteen-years as Division Vice-President overseeing 1,200 executives, graduating from MIT with a Ph.D, and earned wealth with all its support systems. He smiled comically as he shared his deepest secret with a stranger…
“Every day I come to work – that’s fifteen-years – I wait to hear they figured-it-out – that I’m faking it, and know-nothing. No, it didn’t happen today – but probably tomorrow – maybe not. Okay, I’ll stick it out for anotherday – I still got ‘em fooled – aint that the limit?”
How can you relax and enjoy your success when you fear your competency? Where does confidence come from? Is it genetic and hardwired, or can you buy it at Walmart?
Self-Confidence is not a ‘given’, it requires daily reinforcement at both your conscious and non-conscious mind - or its shoots-its-wad and silently departs like Hurricane Rita.
You’ve Heard of ANTs – ‘Automatic-Negative-Thoughts
Psychologists estimate we have two-hundred different ANTs living in our mind to advise us about our talents, character, and personal-worth. Ninety-eight percent of the time they automatically assure us we stink, are a no-talent, and are fooling-the-public.
Read the lips of the Australian tennis-pro playing for the title – who smashed the ball into the net – “You stupid, no-good S.O.B. You… *&$!!”, he says to himself.
His blood boils over, and he can hardly breathe, but it goes on for up to sixty-seconds. Guess happens to him on the next serve - in that state-of-mind? Right – he goofs again, and takes that as evidence the ANTs are right! Okay – what’s your first-reaction to falling-flat on your fact? You need a new strategy that empowers you – not insults you when you stumble.

Who would you be if you weren’t in charge, and if you weren’t in control? Do you have the self-esteem it takes to risk looking foolish? Are you willing to “put it out there” in a big way and trust your teammates to catch you if you fall?What would happen if you had to find a way to agree with the present moment? Would you have the courage to allow the flow and stop resisting “what is?” Are you willing to accept or even agree with others even when you don’t fully understand their point of view?Depending upon your role in your company, owner, president, employee, entrepreneur, you’ll have a standard “seminar answer.” If you’re o

"The state of the art is whatever Microsoft says it is." - Bryce's LawINTRODUCTIONHave you ever been looking through a mega-hardware store/garden shop and not been able to find precisely what you are looking for? Instead, you settle for something else which you take home, try it, and regret having purchased. Instead of returning it though, you think it is not worth your time and throw it in the garbage. Not only is the exact merchandise not available, merchants even go so far as to make the item difficult to return in order to discourage you from doing so. Even if you do, there is a penalty fee associated with it.

Remember reading “Alice in Wonderland?”She asks the Cheshire Cat, “which way I ought to go from here?” “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat. “I don’t much care where,” said Alice.“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat.Alice was floundering because she, like many in business management, have not defined what they want or where they need to go. They don’t have firm short-term and long-term goals. They don’t delegate, lead, or follow-up. Often, like Alice, who jumped down the Rabbit’s Hole, they jump at opportunities without considering whether those opportunities are appr

A paperweight sits on my desk, etched in silver the message: Life isn't always black and white. It serves as a reminder there are few absolutes at work (or in life). Yet, it would be easier if there were; if good ideas from bad, trustworthy people from non-trustworthy, and right paths from the wrong ones could easily be discerned. I've learned in twenty years in management that increasing one's perspective increases the grey, as words like always and never become obsolete for describing most situations and most people.to him on the next serve - in that state-of-mind?

“Breathe-Stretch-Shake – Let-it-Go!”
First, the name – MASE, a superstar Rapper, released a lyric in 2005 on his “Welcome-Back” album called – ‘Breathe-Stretch-Shake and Let-it-go’.
Goal for us: annihilate the nasties from your mind, and alert the Big-Five senses to pay-attention and concentrate on the work-at-hand.
One-more-once – when you want to clear your head, focus on being productive – wake-up! your mind-and-body (not before going to sleep) – use ‘Breathe-Stretch-Shake – Let-it-Go!’
Personally - it should be a requirement every 90-minutes because we wind-down every one-and-a-half hours. That’s a scientific-fact, not an urban-myth.
This exercise takes no more than ninety (90) seconds!
1. Stand up – yes, that requires a decision.
2. Close your eyes – do it when you are in private.
3. Visualize your heart, and place your right-hand in the center of your chest.
4. Take a diaphragmatic breath (deeply inhale), and count to seven-beats - one-one-thousand, two-one-thousand, three-one…etc.
5. Switch hands and place your left-hand a hand-span above your navel
(belly-button, umbilicus), and visualize your belly-button.
6. Hold that inhalation to a count of ten-beats – (seconds) while
simultaneously visualizing your belly-button.
7. Exhale s-l-o-w-l-y to a count of seven-beats, and open your eyes.
8. Now – stretch out your arms and legs – and really s-t-r-e-t-c-h.
9. Shake-your-body vigorously – starting from your head and working down to your feet.
10. Last – and 50% of your grade – Slap-your-hand-down on a flat-surface,
and shout-out - if it is app
