Attention: Personal Development PRECEDES Everything!

"When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." ~Victor Frankl


Wow...have we missed this truth. Too often, we continually try to change the situation, trying different things, different ways, different ideas. All the while neglecting to change ourselves!!  Think about your business, how many times have you tried different things and they didn't work?  That's because Personal Development PRECEDES Business Development!!

Think about the last challenge that you had. Think about all the things that you did to rectify the situation. Sometimes you are able to fix things, but what happens when you don't? Do you ever even think about changing yourself?? I know that most of the time, I didn't. Now, I make sure that I look at myself and see if I need to change.

In dealing with your next challenge today, see if changing yourself will make a difference. I bet it will! Look at yourself from all angles and change what needs to be changed to solve the challenge!

Join us for some Personal Development/Business Development a week from today at the "Your Prospects Aren't Paying Attention To You" workshop.  You will learn the 7 steps to gaining and maintaining your prospects attention.

Personal Development Precedes Business Development

“If you want to be wealthy and happy, learn this lesson well: Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job.” ~Mr. Shoaf (Jim Rohn’s mentor)

Are you working harder on yourself than your job? Really? How are you doing that?

We all try to work hard at our jobs, but how much time do we really spend working on improving OURSELVES? Sure you might go to the gym, run, exercise and eat right, but how much time are you spending on improving YOUR MIND? Are you learning new words to expand your vocabulary? Are you learning new and better ways to make decisions? Are you learning new things? Maybe a new language, studying about history of The United States, not the history you were taught in government schools...

Personal Development precedes Business Development, so if you are struggling in your business, or just stuck, get back to working on yourself!  You cannot improve your business without first improving you.

Every little bit of time we work on improving ourselves gets paid back with compounded interest, so spend a little time working on YOU. And then, start spending more time working on YOU. You will be surprised and happy about the results...

And if you want to work harder on your job, 
 fill out the "Reflect Back and Plan Forward" worksheet. If you would like one, send an email to david@mentoringyoursuccess.com or text your email address to 602-577-2624 and I will send it to you.

Who Are You Hanging With?

"You must constantly ask yourself these questions: Who am I around? What are they doing to me? Where do they have me going? What do they have me thinking? And most important, what do they have me becoming? Then ask yourself the BIG question: Is that okay? ~Jim Rohn

Read that again and ask yourself those questions about your associations. Who are you associating with and are they helping you or hindering you? Analyze those associations. Study them and make sure that they are not influencing you in a direction that you may not want to go. See, we won't let someone push us off course with a big push, but we might let little nudges move us in the opposite direction than we want to go.

If you are looking for a place where your associations will pay off, join us at the Mastermind Roundtable meeting every Tuesday morning.  It's a business discussion group that will challenge you, motivate you, educate you, entertain you and might even irritate you.  It's a community that cares about who you are more than what you do...and we do go deep.

It is said that your income is the average of your 5 closest associates. Does that inspire you or do you need to find new associates? Are you putting yourself in a position to be learning from others? Or are you just keeping pace, just "trying to make ends meet?"

The greatest gift you can give somebody is YOUR own personal development. Are you giving that gift or are you not working on yourself and keeping the gift? (Now, I know some of you are saying, "Of course I'm working on myself...but are you really???)

Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!
