The Secret to "YOUR" Success Is..........

THE SECRET TO "YOUR" SUCCESS IS.......

"A POSITIVE ATTITUDE"

There is definitely no other greater determinant on how you will succeed in your family, job, career, and profession than having a Positive Attitude.  Positive Attitude is the foundation on how you should embrace life.  It should be the feeling you get as soon as you wake up in the morning.  It should be the feeling you get when you drive to work.  It should be the feeling you have when you talk to your customers. Definitely the feeling your in when you talk with your boss. 

A Positive (feeling) Attitude, therefore, is the foundation for your everyday success.  

Now, does Positive Attitude occurs naturally?  NO!! 

Believe it or not, Positive Attitude requires a lot of mental, conscious work in order for it to happen. Here are a few examples on what I mean on this. 

1. As you drive by looking for a gas station, you see the price of a gallon of gas is at $4.40 for regular unleaded. what is your reaction?

2. Your child just received a "D" on his test exam, what do you say?

3. Your Best Friend is telling you about a "juicy" gossip about another close friend what do you do?

4. Your Boss decides to put you under performance evaluation, how do you act?

Now in any of these examples you decide to think, act, or respond "Negatively" Don't worry, most do.  As people we are conditioned to withdraw from a bad situation.  We are also conditioned to listen to negative things rather than positive ones.  Do you watch or listen to the News?  Guess what, local and international news headlines are mostly negative ones. Imagine a local and International News headline starting off with a fireman saving a kitten stuck on a tree. hmmm.. Or a local school child winning the spelling Bee.  hmmm.. again.  Not so much of an attention catcher is it?

Since a Positive Attitude require mental work, follow a few of these suggestion:

1.  "Stop blaming others for your situation." Remember, a victim never prosper.   I have not met a successful victim in all my years.  The Economy, the boss doesn't pay well, the wife or husband hates what I do, etc.  Get my drift? 

2.  "Be a solution provider, not a solution taker."  If you teach your mind to solve problems  that others deem as unsolvable, you will receive success quicker than most people.

3. "Think first, Before giving suggestions or advise."  The truth of the matter is, not everyone will welcome an advice.  Listen and only give advice when asked for.

4. "Avoid Negative People." You know who they are.  These are the people who put an emotional gas to your emotional negative inner fire.  These people are dream killers, relationship killers, and emotional drainers.  Stay away at all cost.

5. "Understand that your choices has always been yours."  You have the power to change your situation.  The only one stopping you is "YOU."

6. "Attend Seminars, Read Books, Listen to Cd's on Positive Attitude."   There are so many "Guru's" on positive thinking.  What comes to Mind is Dale Carnegie, Napoleon Hill, Zig Ziglar, John Maxwell, Earl Nightingale, Henry Ford.  Know who you want to follow and start reading.

7. "Check your language thoughts." 

• Is the Glass half-full or half empty? 
• "I'm Glad the price of Gas is only $4.40 not $6.40."
• "I'm Happy My Boss challenges me on a performance evaluation, Now I can show him how great of an employee I'm really am!"

8. "Thank and Count your God-Given Blessings Each Day."  YES! Spiritual strength provide humbleness to all the positive gifts we receive. 

So, there you go. Follow some of these advice and you are on your way to reeling in a positive attitude mindset.  With enough practice, you will see the world in a totally different way. Problems that used to bother you will no longer do.  You will be more aware of negative talks and chatters; thus giving yourself a choice to leave the negative environment.  You will also see a difference on how your co-workers and bosses treat you.  Many will be amazed in your transformation; thus attracting more positive oriented friends while scaring away the negative ones. Start positive thinking now and create a whole new world for yourself and for your success.

Do You Want To Be Rich!! Now What??

Easier Said than Done!

According to Forbes.Com, there are approximately 1,011 billionaires around the world this year. Most people will never have the chance to see themselves part of the multi-billion dollar crowd such as Bill Gates, Donald Trump, and Carlos Slim Helu (Richest Man In The World).   

Furthermore, this year the World's Billionaires have an average net worth of $3.5 billion, up $500 million in 12 months. Americans account for 40% of the world's billionaires, down from 45% a year ago. The U.S. commands 38% of the collective $3.6 trillion net worth of the world's richest, down from 44% a year ago.

Now, what does this actually say? Its clear that billionaires in the U.S. are quietly slipping while the rest of the world are slowly gaining grounds.  Now, I did not check if there are more millionaires in the U.S. this year than years prior, but I do hope that it is increasing not decreasing. 

So, do you plan to be financially rich?  Do you plan to have enough income before retirement that make you live the rest of your life free of money problems? 

Donald Trump considers Rich as a state of mind.  That as long as you see, feel, and believe yourself as being rich, you are rich.  Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad believes that if you have enough passive income paying for your cost of living, than you are financially free. Clearly, many millionaires and billionaires have different perspective of what the definition of the word "Rich" really is. 

So, How do we do this?  How do we become financially Independent and be considered Rich?

Well here are a few advices from Already Rich People...

1. Robert Kiyosaki: "The richest people in the world build networks; everyone else is trained to look for work."

2. Donald Trump: Start a business. "Think Big" when you do.

3. Warren Buffett: The world’s most successful investor once said that "The secret of becoming rich was to be greedy when others are fearful and very fearful when others are greedy."

Also, The power of compounding interest goes a long way.

4. Bill Gates, Founder Microsoft: "Start your own company and believe that it has the opportunity to change the world." He started Microsoft with the belief that the company would not stop until every home and office desk had a personal computer.

5.  Andrew Carnegie: "Aim for the highest."

6.  J. Paul Getty: "You must take risks, both with your own money or with borrowed money. Risk taking is essential to business growth." 

7. Steve Jobs, Founder of Apple: I was worth about over a million dollars when I was twenty-three and over ten million dollars when I was twenty-four, and over a hundred million dollars when I was twenty-five and it wasn't that important because I never did it for the money.”

As you can see, every single person on this list became Billionaires and Millionaires by operating their own business.  

Now is it too late?  No, I don't believe it is ever too late to start exploring the world of business. Just Ask Col. Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken.  He was in his 70's before someone took notice of his chicken recipe and then becoming a millionaire. I believe that each one of us have the ability, the courage, and the tenacity to confront our biggest fear of "Taking Risk" to follow our dreams of becoming wealthy.   Now what is the alternative, well, not to be rich or wealthy.  Nothing is wrong with that, I assume.  But, since we only have 1 Life to live, isn't it reasonable to go swing for the fence? Isn't it justifiable to agree with Donald Trump when he said "Think Big, since you are thinking anyway." 

Remember, "Your Future depends on what you do now."

6 salesman "SECRETS" on selling anything...

                                                           Isn't This A Great First Impression!

With so many literature and personal opinions on how to sell for success, if you ask 10 salespeople they  probably will tell you 10 different things what has worked for them.  However, there are 6 irrefutable "secrets" that salesman would probably hold dear to on how they sell for success. 

Top 6 Countdown....

Number 6:  First Impression goes a long way!

Proper attire, proper store look, proper posture, a nice car are some (not all) key elements on how to sell anything. Imagine the product releases by Apple such as the Iphone and Ipad; doesn't the marketing advertisement, the store, the salesman, the atmophere, the excitement of each product release provide a key first impression on whether you will purchase what they offer the next time around?  With long lines on each product releases by Apple, I definitely believe many have fallen on the company's first impression.

Number 5:  "Product Over Price; No... PRICE over Product"

Now this may be a little controversial to some, but may not be for others.  Many salesman would like to believe that the service they render should validate the price they offer or the price offered by the company they work for.  But in reality, especially in this economy, most consumers are looking for a deal they can agree on or a deal their spouse can agree with.  A salesman's job is to bridge the gap between what the consumer wants and what his company needs. 

Number 4:  Option 1 is good, Option 2 is better, Option 3 is the best....

Most Salesman will not give you just 1 option when trying to sell you a product or service even though that is what you came in for to look at.  In most cases, a salesman's "secret" is to provide atleast 3 options to show you but no more than 5.  More than 5 options creates confusion.  What you will notice is that the option that he would steer you on is the option that may probably land him the most money.  Time is money; the less time a salesman work on a deal, the more money he can make. Again, not every salesman may do this, but please understand that salesman are there to work and try to earn the most money to bring home for himself, his family, and for his livelihood. 

Number 3:  A salesman will make sure you "Need" the product, not just "Want" it. 

A good salesman usually profile you by asking questions about your work, family, and activities.  Armed with that knowledge, a salesman would try to provide examples on how the product works or relate to the customers everyday life. 

Number 2 :  If you call a salesman's office about a product, he or she will make sure to have your personal contact information before you hang up.

Have you ever given your cell phone number, email address, or even your work number to a store and the salesman on the other end said they will check it and will get back to you on it?  This is one of the oldest trick in the book.  In any case, the salesman probably know the product you were looking for have been sold or they do not know what the status is of the product.  By asking your contact info, they can put you on their client list for other products they can offer you at that time.  They can even show their boss the accumulated contact info's they have to prove they have been working very hard for the company. 

Number 1:  A successful salesman #1 motto is "Honesty is the Best Policy"

Believe it or not, most successful salespeople have good hearts and honest on what they sell.  Now the term "successful" is what I am referring to here.  By my definition, these are the people that have stayed with the business for a number of years and have developed a good clientele. By being honest, referrals become easy to come by and product description doesn't change from one customer to another (promotes trust).  Now, is being Honest an actual "secret" or is it a trait?  The truth of the matter is, it is both.  If used wisely, the saying "Honesty is the Best Policy" maybe the greatest secret on selling anything.
