Cynthia Kersey: Slow and Steady Wins The Race

2006-05-13T16:43:00.001+01:00

Unstoppable Mindset

"Slow and steady wins the race." It's not glamorous, but it's true. The tragedy is that most people never even get in the race, and many of those who do hope that success comes easy and swift. When it doesn't, they're out of the race, before it really begins. What they don't realize is that the decision to be unstoppable is never made just once. It is made moment by moment, again and again.

Setbacks are inevitable. In fact, they're evidence that we're doing something. The more mistakes we make, the greater our chance of success. Failures indicate a willingness to experiment and take risks. Unstoppable women have learned that each failure brings wisdom and insight that will take them one step closer to achieving their dreams.

When we focus on one unstoppable moment at a time and stay the course, the end result will take care of itself.

It's important to remind ourselves that failure is an event, not a person. If you don't achieve your 30-day goal, does that make you a failure? If you don't get a promotion at work, does that make you a failure? If you get married and then divorced, does that make you a failure? Of course not!

">Failure doesn't characterize who you are. It is simply an event that happens to you. And when you continue to move forward, despite difficult experiences, you have already won!

Find the gift in the setback

The next time the outcome you had hoped for doesn't transpire, look for the gift. Ask yourself the following questions:

1. What can I learn from what happened?
2. What am I grateful for about this experience?
3. What are the potential benefits of this experience?
4. What is the best way for me to move forward?

Commit to finding the gift in any setback. And in advance, tell yourself that you will never, never, never quit. If you don't give up, you simply cannot fail. Not only will you achieve your dreams, but the combination of your commitment, courage, and faith will rise as the greatest triumph of all.

Brian Tracy: Seven Qualities of Master Achievers

2006-05-06T10:11:00.002+01:00

(excerpted from The Success Mastery Academy)

If you think the way successful people think and adopt their success habits, you too can be successful. Here are seven qualities of the top 1% of successful people.

1) They are Ambitious.

They see themselves capable of being the best. They see themselves with the capacity of being really good at what they do. This was a really big thought for me. It held me back for many years. When I saw people who were doing better than I was, I naturally assumed they were better than I was. And if they were better than I was, then I must be worse than them, so that would mean they were superior and I was inferior. That is a big problem in our society. We have feelings of inferiority, and these feelings of inferiority are often translated into feelings of undeservedness.

We don't feel we deserve to be a big success. The word "deserve" comes from two Latin words meaning "from service." You deserve 100% of everything you make and enjoy as long as you get it from serving other people. Your rewards are in direct proportion to your service. If you serve better and serve more and serve at a higher level and serve more enthusiastically and serve a higher quality, then you'll have a wonderful income you'll deserve every penny of it. You must see yourself capable of being the best.

2) They are Courageous

They work to confront the fears that holds most people back. The two biggest enemies to yours and my success is fear and doubt. Eliminating fear and doubt is the key. The key to eliminating fear: If you want to develop courage, then simply act courageously when it's called for. When you do something repeatedly, you develop a habit. Make a habit throughout your life of doing the things you fear. If you do the thing you fear, the death of fear is certain. To overcome fear of rejection in prospecting, you must realize that rejection in selling is not personal. Top salespeople do not fear prospecting. Face your fear. Do the things you fear. The ability to confront your fear is the mark of the superior person. If you have high ambition and you decide to be in the top 10%, and you can confront your fears and do the things that are holding you back, those two things alone will make you a great success.

3) They are Committed

The top people in every field, especially the top salespeople, are completely committed. They believe in themselves; they believe in their companies; they believe in their products and services; they believe in their customers; they have an intense belief. We know that there is a one-to-one relationship between the depth of your belief and what happens in your reality. And if you absolutely believe in the rightness and the goodness of what you're doing, you become like a catalyst. You create what is called a transfer, like an electrical transfer of enthusiasm. People like to buy from people who truly believe in what they are doing. People who are not committed to what they do lead very empty lives. The second part is that caring is the critical element in modern selling. Caring is a critical element in life, as well. All men and women who enjoy great lives care about what they do! They have passion about what they do. They love what they do.

4) They are Professional

Top salespeople see themselves as consultants rather than as salespeople. When you think of the word "consultant," what words come to mind? When do you call a consultant? A consultant is a problem-solver. What word does not appear when you think of a consultant--the word "salesperson". We don't think of consultants as salespeople. The most successful consultants in America are the very best salespeople of their services. When a person is positioned as a consultant in the mind and heart of the customer, he is not seen as a salesperson. Do people like to be sold? Do people like to be helped to improve their lives and work? So they look upon a salesperson as someone who sells them. Selling is something you do "to" someone, and people don't like to be done "to". So when you think of being a consultant, here is the key. How do you position yourself as a consultant with your customers? Of course, you act like a consultant, but even before you get the chance to act like a consultant, you build a rapport. And the most simple answer of all, and this is the most profound principle: People accept you at your own evaluation of yourself. Consultants come in and have a cup of coffee. Salespeople wait in the waiting room and have a glass of water. If you say you're a consultant, your customer will accept you as a consultant. >From now on, position yourself as a consultant. Think of yourself as a consultant. Remember, 80% of what you accomplish on the outside is determined by who you are on the inside. How you see yourself determines how the customer responds to you. The customer's perception of you determines how much they buy and how much they recommend you to other customers.

5) They are Prepared

They review every detail in advance. To be in the top 10% requires additional efforts. It requires doing things that the average person is not willing to do. It requires making sacrifices the average person is not willing to make. It requires reviewing every detail of every call or situation before every business meeting. But the difference it makes is extraordinary. Before you go into a meeting, do your homework. Successful people are more concerned about pleasing results than they are about pleasing methods. When you sit down with a client, there is nothing more complimentary to a client than the feeling that you have prepared for the meeting.

6) They are Continuous Learners

They recognize that if they're not continually getting better, they're getting worse. They read, they listen to CDs and they take additional training. The professional never stops learning. So read, listen to CDs, take continuous training.

7) They are Responsible

They see themselves as President of their own personal services corporation. The top people in our society have an attitude of self-employed. 100% of us are self-employed. We are presidents of our own personal services corporation. You work for yourself. The biggest mistake we can ever make is to think we work for anyone else. We work for ourselves. The person who signs our paycheck may change; our jobs may change, but we are always the same. We are the one constant--we are always self-employed. The fact of the matter is -- this is not optional, it is mandatory -- you are the president of your own company, you're the president of your own career, your own life, your own finances, your own body, your own family, your own health. You are totally responsible. We are responsible. No one will ever do it for us. It's the most liberating and exhilarating thought of all, to think that you're the president of your own life.

A Word From Brian Tracy:

"I really consider The Success Mastery Academy one of my all-time, best programs. Kyle Wilson and I sat down and said if we could condense everything that we've learned on leadership, communication, setting goals, selling, negotiation, financial independence, etc. -- all the different subjects that people needed to know to be really successful -- what would they be? So we worked together. I spent many, many months writing this program and created a workbook that went with it. It covers time, money, relationships, leadership, family, every type of communications, self esteem, personal growth, secrets of self made millionaires, setting goals -- 16 subjects in all. We put it all together into a two-day live event and then I gave it to thousands of people all over the country and it just literally blew people away. And then we took the four best recordings, from our two day seminars, 16 hours each, and spent 6 months combining the very best sessions from each of these four seminars, into a seminar that is virtually a personal treat on personal success and achievement. I truly consider the SMA a masterpiece!" -- Brian Tracy

Omnipotent, Omniscient Presidency... The Rumble Before The Crumble...

2006-04-26T00:03:00.004+01:00

The pages of Nigerian newspapers was awashed this morning with the news that President Olusegun Obasanjo's convoy was pelted with stones and sachet-water bags by "anti-3rd term" protesters in Jigawa, during his State visit to commission a borehole at an army barrack.

Now as I am working my key-board, the popular chorus of the churches began to hum in my ears...

"Alagbara l'Olorunmi
Alagbara ni Jesu miiii..."

In the same rhyme this song flowed into another one, being sang, not in our churches, but on the barricades, an Aluta song, hear:

"Obasanjo l'o sora ooo.
Baba Iyabo be careful ooo..."

The bell tolls for those who want to scheme Nigerians into a situation of an 'Omnipotent' and 'Omniscient' Presidency as we march towards 2007.

The presidential spokesperson, Mrs. Oluremi Oyo denied the "embarrassing" reports. But the local and international Press, led by French AFP, confirmed and reported the truth.

Let us intensify our prayers that God, at this critical junction in our nation's democracy, would give the President a hearing ear for the TRUTH, and nothing but the TRUTH.

MFM's Daniel Olukoya Foresaw This Temperature Change!

2006-04-21T00:23:00.001+01:00

The next 12 months in Nigeria would witness an unrelenting increase in the political temperature. At the begining of this year, Dr. Daniel Olukoya of the M.F.M ministries predicted battle between what he called, the 'he-goat' and the 'she-goat'. The last few weeks have confirmed this prophecy...

Open rift has cut through the presidency and the camps are now sharply divided between the President Obasanjo and his Vice, Ahaji Atiku Abubakar, over the so-called "Third-Term" agenda of the President and his cronnies.

Its time for "Knee work" for those who are spiritually smart. When the centre of governance begins to rumble, that is the exact time that we must pray to prevent a fatal crumble of our fledging democracy.

Joel Comm: I Have Finally Come!

2005-10-21T09:49:00.001+01:00

Do you have a hero or heroine that inspires you with his/her generated results which compels RESPECTS? Well, my web friend, Joel Comm invited me over seven weeks ago to join his Adsense Chat forum, but it wasn't until yesterday that I eventually put my footprints on that forum.

I am so excited today, I posted my first thread on Adsense Chat Forum yesterday, and I feel I should share excerpts of what I posted there with you now. It was titled:

Stepping Into Destiny Propulsion

Hey, Guys, I am Aderemi Ojikutu, ...,

May I use this privilege of intro, to publicly commend my sweet mentor whom I always describe as a Prophet of Web revenue and Traffic revival, Joel Comm.

I am a most humble learner and I pledge my obedience to every letter of instruction you all will give me for my explosion in income and revenue on my site. I would also be looking forward to your masterly help and assistance to fulfill the above-stated goal of mine.

I'm fond of stating to whosoever care to listen to me that: "If you are not on the web; you are not in the world! And if you are not on the world, you are a dead person in this age of infotech! the infotech age has almost become like oxygen to a growing number of people in the world today, but many are still breathing polluted air due to lack of understanding of wisdom nuggets shared on an elite chat forum like ours here.

It is not for nothing today that the richest man on earth is an infotech man. it is also significant that his name is Gate. However may I ask you a personal question: how much room have you taken up after accessing the "gate" opened to you by the richest man on earth?

I believe the answer to that would be found here, as we explore the gems that could trigger explosion in our space(sites) to accommodate not only the huge traffic but also the huge wealth in that PALACE!!!

See me as your new baby, and help to nurture me into a Giant for our collective and mutual enrichment.

Thank You.

Time-Table of Favour!

2005-10-16T08:50:00.001+01:00

I am persuaded that there is a "time-table of favour" which determines the timings of man's blessings. The Eagle is reputed to be the king of all birds, but I know that it is not the, most powerful bird. Wherein lies the secrets of its enthronement?

The Eagle is a most sensitive bird, it is a bird of positioning, as soon as it senses a change of wind current, it positions itself to FLOW and GLIDE on the current. It doesn't fly against the wind. It doesn't fly by flapping its wings, it rides on the strength of the wind. Its envious heights is a product of the grace of the wind, it doesn't struggle with the wind.

In tropical Africa the rain has subsided in this part of the world, the sun is risen in its strength, this season is mostly a time of harvest. How I wish we would learn from the wisdom of the eagle. We can make sweat-less money in this season by reason of the natural explosion of activities triggered by the bumper harvest season, in fact we can make much more from this season that could last till the early part of next year with leftover to invest for residual yield.

GO FOR THE FLOODLIGHT!!!

Floodlight Of Treasure

'...and when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.' (Proverbs 24:14)

This applicable biblical principle is what governs every imaginable blessings of mankind. Any time you see people dragging their feet about like victims and prisoners of a war, which they don't know the author of, it is because they lack the light or, better still, the floodlight that can undo the works of darkness. Every defeat during daytime is rooted in the arrows of darkness of the night.

Your rewards in life is what determine your respects. Respect also is a function of results, which itself is a product of light. When rewards and expectations are dashed to pieces, it is because of the carelessness of the defeated to utilise the floolight, in the night seasons, to locate the hidden riches and treasures of darkness, for an excellent and victorious life. That life is determined by the level of floodlight you carry. Therefore I admonish you to go for the Floodlight of Treasure!!!
