"How you run the race-your planning, preparation, practice, and performance-counts for everything. Winning or losing is a byproduct, and aftereffect of that effort." ~John Wooden
How are you running the race? How is your planning, practice and performance? Do you plan daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or do you just do what you've always done and get by doing that? Are you practicing your performance? Really? When was the last time you practiced your sales presentation? When?
See, winning takes place in the preparation, not in the presentation. All those years that Wooden coached UCLA, he never spoke about winning and losing, only about maximizing his players abilities. His success proves that the winning is in the preparation.
So I will ask again, how is your preparation? Stop worrying about making the sale and prepare like a champion for the presentation and you will win as often as Wooden did.

Are You Ready To Change?
"It's not that some people have willpower and some don't. It's that some people are ready to change and others are not." - James Gordon
Are you ready to change? Some people are, some aren't. I actually disagree with the first part of the quote because there are people who have will power and there are those that don't...but it does come back to being ready to change, so I will ask again, Are you ready to change?
Now, some of you are thinking to yourself that "I don't need to change." Really? How's your life working for you now? Got everything you want? Done everything that you wanted to do? Do you live a life of leisure or do you slave away at your job every day?
Here's a formula for you. Your CZ will equal your WZ. "Your Comfort Zone will equal your Wealth Zone. By expanding your Comfort Zone you will expand the size of your Income and Wealth Zone."
Are you ready to expand your Wealth Zone? Really? If you are, join us Friday at the "Who Are You?: Enhancing Your Personal Brand for Business."

Use Your Strength
“I do not believe that you should devote overly much effort to correcting your weaknesses. Rather, I believe that the highest success in living and the deepest emotional satisfaction comes from building and using your signature strengths.” ~ Martin Seligman
Are you devoting too much time to your weaknesses as opposed to building up your signature strengths? It is a problem that most of us have, wanting to improve where we are not strong, when we should be improving our strengths! What are your strengths and what are your weaknesses? I bet you could tell me your weaknesses before you could tell me your strengths!
I was in a Mastermind group and we took a test that measured our strengths and weaknesses, but listed only the top 5 strengths. The funny thing was that a few people wanted to see what their weaknesses were...almost to confirm that, "ya, those are my weaknesses." Like it was something to be proud of...WRONG!! They were proud of the fact that they were working so hard on their weaknesses...but they had it backwards.
One of your Signature Strengths should be you "Personal Brand." If it is not a strength or you don't know what it is or you just haven't found your personal brand, join me this Friday for the Seminar training "Who Are You?: Enhancing Your Personal Brand for Business."

No Limit Thinking
"No Limit Thinking...As children we believe that we might become president, a great artist or a great explorer. But as adults we begin to put fences around those dreams."~Tom Asacker
No limit thinking...what did you want to be when you grew up? Why didn't you do it? Why? Did you or someone else put a fence around those dreams and tell you that you couldn't do that?
Stop putting fences around who you want to become. Become who you were meant to become! Tony Robbins asks a great question, “Who will you have to become to achieve all you want?” Have you ever thought about that? Really?
To achieve all that you want, who will you have to become? If you are unsure about who you will have to become, join us on Friday the 30th at the "Who Are you?: Enhancing Your Personal Brand for Business"...check out the event and sign up here or email me to let me know you are coming.

Get Ahead of Yourself!
"Our business in life is not to get ahead of others, but to get ahead of ourselves -- to break our own records, to outstrip our yesterday by our today."~ Stewart B. Johnson
Are you getting ahead of yourself or are you trying to keep up and get ahead of your neighbors and friends? See, our society has made it a game about keeping up with the Joneses. All the advertising is directed at making you feel as if you need everything to keep up. And if you don't, well, you might be thrown out of Scottsdale!! I mean, come on, we have a reputation to uphold here...
How shallow have we become to buy into that crap? I sure hope that we are finding our way out and just worrying about keeping ahead of ourselves. That's where growth is! That's where change is! That's where happiness is!
Take a moment to think about how you can 'outstrip your yesterday by your today.' What would it take to make today a better day than yesterday? That's all you have to do...consciously think about how you can make today better than yesterday...and then do it!
If you want to get ahead of yourself, think about joining me on Friday the 30th in the afternoon, when I will be presenting "Who Are You?: Enhancing your Personal Brand for Business." (Info to follow)

I Don't Care What You Think Of Me
"I have no need to conform to the stereotypes others have defined for me." ~Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Are you conforming to the stereotypes that others have define for you? Why? I mean really, why? Were you told that you needed to be this way or that way and you did it? What were you thinking?
Here's a favorite quote of mine, "It's none of my business what you think of me." See, if I make it my business what you think of me, then I change who I am to gain your acceptance, trust, love, whatever. But to really live that, you need to be confident in who you are, and know who you are!
“Don’t be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams.” Too many people today are only pushed by their problems and aren't led by their dreams. Be led by your dreams! But make sure that they are your dreams and not someone elses...
You, and only you, get to choose how you spend each precious moment of your life. Choose carefully and well. It is always your choice.
If you are struggling with "who you are," in life or business, I'm doing a Seminar on Friday the 30th of April, titled: "Who Are You?: Enhancing Your Personal Brand for Business." Watch for the invitations soon.

Creating Your Mediocrity?
“Believe that you are the one who creates your success, that you are the one who creates your mediocrity, and that you are the one creating your struggle around money and success.”~ T. Harv Eker
I know that you believe that you create your success, but do you believe that you also create your mediocrity? Well guess what? Hate to break it to ya, but YOU DO! Too often we blame others, parents, teachers, spouses, the economy, when it is our responsibility, our choices, our decisions.
Don't give your power away by blaming others, because that is what you are doing. Take responsibility for you actions and create the life that you want. Your "personal brand" should be all yours, not someone elses.
You are in charge of EVERYTHING that happens in your life. EVERYTHING. Take back you power today, right now, this moment. You create your success, you create your mediocrity. It is your choice!
