“Routinely seek opinions from people who ‘know nothing’ on a subject. These can be the most refreshing sources of new information, since they are not entrenched in assumptions and mindsets.”~Jim Canterucci
Are you dealing with people who are entrenched in assumptions and mindsets? Are you that person? Most of us have our assumptions and mindsets but are yours really working for you? I mean really??
If you are doing what everyone else is doing, how are you different? How do people know that you are different, because you say you are?? Doesn't work, you need to show them you are different. Too many people and businesses try the "me too" style of business. They copy what the leaders are doing and say, "look at us, we do it the same way."
Be authentic. Be who you are, not who you think you have to be!
Action:
Today, when you are doing a regular part of your business, check and see if you can do it differently. See if there is a better way. Don't do it the same way because "we've always done it that way."
Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

Change Yourself
"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 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.
Action:
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!
Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

I Already Know That
"The secret is…there are no real secrets. Just information you don’t have."
THERE ARE NO SECRETS. THERE ARE NO SECRETS. THERE ARE NO SECRETS. Just information that you don't or didn't have...
Wow, kinda puts everything in perspective, doesn't it.
I have information that you don't have and I'm willing to share it with you so that you will have it for the rest of your life. Are you interested?? It's information about sales psychology and how sales really work. I know what you are saying, "I already know all about sales..." The four most destructive words ever put in a sentence. "I already know that."
When you say that, learning stops and you remain stuck where you are at. No chance for growth, no chance to change your situation...all because you "already know that."
Action:
If you are ready to learn some things that will change your business and life, join us today at this seminar. You can have any excuse not to come, but know that you are missing information that you don't have!

Believe in Yourself
"People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success." ~Norman Vincent Peale
Do you believe in yourself? Really?? Not just the normal "I believe in myself," but the real I BELIEVE IN MYSELF!!! Take a look deep inside your mind and heart and ask yourself the question again...Do you believe in yourself?
Most people pay lip service to believing in themselves, but when you examine them down deep, there is fear and loathing, not belief! If this is you, it's never to late to start over with your beliefs. Start right now, examine your beliefs and work towards the goals that they line up with!
Action:
Challenge your unbelief. Challenge your beliefs to see how strong they are. Build on that strength so that your belief is unassailable!!!
Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

Sacred Gift v. Faithful Servant
"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift." ~Albert Einstein
We have created a society that honors the servant (the rational mind) and has forgotten the sacred gift (the intuitive mind). Why is that? It makes no sense at all. Einstein also said that "Imagination is more important than knowledge." Because imagination is unlimited while knowledge is limited.
Think about how often you use your sacred gift vs. the time you use your faithful servant. You spend most of your time with the servant, right? Here's a challenge...use your sacred gift for at least 30 minutes each day. Develop that gift and your life and business will become everything you want it to be. It's never too late to become who you were meant to be.
Action:
Work on your sacred gift. Nurture it. Develop it. Master it.
Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

Resilient Parasite
“What’s the most resilient parasite? An idea. A single idea from the human mind can build cities. An idea can transform the world and rewrite all the rules.” ~From Inception the movie
What is your most resilient parasite? What idea can you just not get away from? What idea dominates your thinking? And what have you done about it? Nothing? Why???
Nothing has ever been created without first a thought. That is where everything starts. What thoughts are you letting dominate your thinking? Thoughts of lack? Thoughts of fear? Thoughts of negativity? Or thoughts of abundance, thoughts of action and thoughts of positivity?
See, we get to decide what we think about. No one else can make us think about anything unless we allow it in. Have a negative friend? Don't hang with them! Have a family member that's always talking you down? Distance yourself. It's you choice as to who to hang with...choose wisely!
Action:
Today, choose wisely what to let into your thinking. What resilient parasite you want crawling around your brain. It is, after all, your choice!

Simple, But Not Easy
"Change is not easy, but it is simple. Things will always change. We don’t have a choice about that. But we do have a choice about how we react to change. It really boils down to this…either we manage change, or it will manage us."~Mac Anderson
How do you deal with change? Change is not easy, but it is simple. I love that. We make things much more complex than they have to be and this boils it all down.
Do you realize that we have a choice in how we react to change? We do, but you need to recognize it. In fact, our lives are all about choices. You are today where your choices have brought you and you will be tomorrow where the choices of today take you. And don't give me any flack about not having any choices. You always have a choice, not always good ones, but you always have choices.
So. Do you manage change or does it manage you and your time???
Action:
Realize that you always have choices. The next time your brain says I don't have any choice, think again and look for the alternatives.
