Your Winners Circle

Being Offended By Others Helping You Is A Sign Of Insecurity

Maybe you have notice that you are around or work with people who are always asking you if you are supposed to be assisting them or are THEY not supposed to be heading up a particular project.  They are always questioning why you are doing something and implying that you are stepping on their toes or over stepping their authority.  Sometimes you may just be lending a hand till the appropriate person shows up to take over to complete the task.

Maybe you were sent to help another person and that particular person asks why you of all people were sent or asked to assist.  This is a form of insecurity and can cripple you in relationships either personal or in the workplace.  Sometimes it comes from someone who is your equal in position and sometimes it can even come from a supervisor. Their indication is that you are trying to take their job or are stepping on their toes and implying that they can not do their job effectively or efficiently. Most of the time this is not the case and is a matter of honest and sincerely assistance.  Are you one of these people?

Confidence in yourself and the courage to receive assistance is the sign of a great leader. This person can not only deligate task but can accept assistance when others are willing with grace and ease.  There is no need to be threatened  when you empower those around you to be a part of the overall project.  If someone rises above the task given to them, that is an indication that you are also an outstanding teacher as well as a leader.  It is an honor to have other model after you and your princilples.  Be a role model is one of the greatest compliments that your peers can bless you with.

So when you get the inclination to be offended when others attempt to assist or take the initiative to take on a task without being told, pause and empower those individuals to continue to rise to the occasion and the next level. And when they do they are a reflection of the one who taught them along their journey.  Appreciate their efforts and determination to succeed and all of you will be winners at days end.

Sometimes You Have To Clean Up Your Own House First

This weekend I had the opportunity of not only meeting but working hand in hand with an amazing woman who has an enonormous heart and is a winner in her own right.  She is a wife, a mother, a speaker, and an author.  Her name is Loren Slocum and I met her at the Author 101 Seminar held in Las Vegas, Nevada as she shared with the attendees her story and the principles she trains on.

She expresses that many of us make it so hard for us to win by focusing on the not so great things that are in our lives instead of that which is great.  Loren does not believe that a person needs a whole life make over, all a person needs is "just a little tweeking here and there". This is the name of her newest book "Life Tuneups".  She remind people that the most important thing a person can do is to take care of themselves first.  You cannot give what you do not have.

Another thing that is covered in her book is how important it is to create a compelling vision for yourself.  This is not new andis taught by may leaders in the personal development industry.  She tells you to ask yourself, "Who do I have to become to be the person who is healthy and alive".  Use your vision board to constantly remind yourself of what is working great in your life. And always stay true to who you are. 

Her story is outstanding and she believes that sometimes you just have to redicover who you are and what you really stand for.  It was a gentle reminder that I too need to stay tuned and tuned up to give back to the world all that I have to offer.

You Create More Success By Making Others Feel Great About Themselves

The economy continues to spiral downward and with it goes the esteem of the general public.  Many are loosing their jobs and their homes and having to start over in a world full of uncertainty.  So the question presnted to me was how do you become or remain successful in a falling and broken economy?  The answer is actually very simple.

Everyone wants to feel good about themselves.  Especially when the rest of the world around them is falling apart.  Success is created when you go out of your way to assist or encourage someone else.  Even if it is not immediate, those that you reach out to will not forget you and will trust you in the future with their purchases.  When it stops being just about the money, the Universe will bend over backwards to bring back to you in like fashion all that you give.  Call it the Law of Attraction or whatever you choose, the fact of the matter is that it is true.  Abundance comes to those whose give the same, no matter what it is.  It may be time, it may be training and it may just be money as well...but it is something. 

Making people feel great about themselves creates a fundation for the future whether it is yours or that of another.  Also as a two fold blessing, you feel great about yourself and will project that to those around you.  And again...like attracts like whether you like it or acknowledge it or not.  That confidence shows up in your success as well.  Those who might not normally purchase from you will either do so or refer others who have a need and a desire for what you are promoting in your business. 

Think about it.....When was that last time you met someone and were so comfortable with them and felt a sense of trust then purchased from them or someone they recommended.  The achievemnet level rises when a person feels not only good but great about themselves.  If you do not feel that way about yourself..it looks like there may be some work to do on your part.  Once you establish that presence you will see the difference in the world around you.  So if you want to be more success in this faultering economy get in the business of making people feel great about themselves and the rest of your success is a matter of time.

I Am Loved Even Through The Economic Tests And Trials

Sometimes it is hard to remember that no matter where we are or what we do ....we are loved.  I saw this video and it not only reminded me but inspired me to keep going.  This economy has made many a heart heavy with the burdens of financial dispair.  The hope of a good life and an abundant lifestyle took a different turn in the past year.  But if we can remind ourselves that trials grow us up and mature us.  That growing will also grow our businesses and lifestyle to a higher level.  Maturing is a proccess and it is not always comfortable.  And the testing develops perserverence.  But in the midst of it all I rest on the faith

that I Am Loved.

Looking At Your Life Through The Innocent Eyes Of A Child

When we were young we were excited about each day.  We entered the day as if it was a new adventure, which it was.  The purity of life shone like the morning sun.  But as we grew older we have forgotten the beauty of the day and of life itself.  Our attitudes changed with the times and circumstances.  And we began to see ourselves as old or older.  We forget that how we think is how we become.  So we become less vibrant and our other selves begin to fade away.

It is time we look at ourselves as a new person.  Allow our hearts to beam with life, no matter what the outside world says or thinks.   Take a few minutes to re-evaluate how we look at ourselves and that will shine through to the outside.  You will soon notice a change in the way you look, feel, walk, talk and smile.  You do not need to buy a full new wardrobe or run of for plastic surgery.  Find one new article of clothing, change your hairstyle or the color of your hair just a little.  Get a facial or massage to feel more alive.  A pedicure works wonders.  All of this can be done by a male or female to rejuvinate the you that is hiding on the inside. You will be amazed at how differently you look at your life and how differently the people around you will see you.   Your confidence level will soar.  Your new self image will also encourage changes just because like attracts like.  You will see the winner that you really are. It is a universal law.

Success Starts At Any Age From The Theater To The Stage Of Life

I have the pleasure of featuring this young lady in my Inspiration Newsletter which comes out every other month.  Bu, I could not pass up the opportunity to tell you a little about her before the publication is released next week.  I met this young lady before her birth (sorta) and have been truely amazed at how this flower has blossomed.

Her name is Taylor Short and she is 11 years old and has many accomplishments to her credit on stage.  She also is an excellent student along with being very active in sports.  Taylor thinks that she is just an ordinary kid.  But she is far from that!  Little does she know that she will be and is already an inspiration to kids all around her.  And as she grows that inspiration and the amount of lives that it will touch will grow as well.  But Taylor's success come from something and somewhere that many kids do not have the opportunity to experience.

Taylor short is the only daughter of Bo and Sandy Short.  They are extraordinary entrepreneurs and have created an environment of encouragement and support for Taylor that gives her a strong foundation to build upon.  She has been surrounded by successful examples since birth and implements what it takes to go for it.

                                                   

When we give out children not only opportunities but the stability of encouragement, they grow to be amazing individuals.  This support for what are their passions help all involved to reach out beyond their limits and touch lives and hearts that in other circumstances would not feel that incredible feeling of accomplishement and success.  Not to mention the love that comes from sharing those celebrations with others.  To see the full story of Taylor Short you simply need to subscribe to this Inspirational Newsletter and the next 20 subscriptions will recieve a copy of my 365 Days of Successes Journal at not cost to you.  We also appreciate your comments so feel free to leave yours.
