For anyone that has been associated with me for any time whether personally, in business or in sports you know that I believe in the importance of having your foundation in place by incorporating the following into your everyday routine. I routinely encourage people to use the following outline to lay their foundation.
What I have listed below is a simple outline ~ of course there is considerably more information that you can incorporate into what is listed, but this does offer a starting point for anyone.
While some people have been involved with their home business for quite sometime and have their foundation in place others do not. It is very important to have your foundation in order to build your business and generate income. You need to apply the success principles that work and you need to understand there is no “secret” to success. There is however a process, or a road-map or a blueprint as such which is taught by successful people everyday. The process should be learned by everyone and put to use everyday so that you as an individual achieves your deepest desires and dreams.
I really hope you take my suggestions that the best thing you can do is work on yourself from the inside out so to speak. Confidence and success come from the inside in order to manifest itself as external benefits whether as business success, personal success or happiness.
There are numerous successful books on the topic of personal development, confidence and self esteem that aid in improving your self-confidence in order to realize your total worth and true potential. By doing this you will see enormous changes in your life, your productivity and your income.
I have some books as downloadable eBooks that I can offer you, so give me a shout, I’ll send them to you BUT please download them – read them – study them and apply the principles as they are truly life-changing and life-enhancing books.
There are no secrets to success, it is the result of preparation, hard work and learning from failure.
Colin Powell
Basically – What is Your Plan? What do you want – When do you want it – Why do you want it and How do you propose to get it! Basically how do you plan on getting from point A to point B?
Live Life Your Way – because you really can Be Do and Have anything you desire! Following are some guidelines to help you get your foundation set in place so that you can Be, Do and Have everything you desire. I draw on my experiences in sales, training, management, coaching and mentoring to do the best I can to enhance the lives of people I associate with. My belief in personal development in order to improve myself, my methods, my approach and my skills have evolved throughout my life and I am grateful for the opportunity to pass that experience to others.
Start With Your “Why”
Why do you want to have your home business,,,,,,,,what is it you’re wanting to accomplish. What is your purpose for getting involved in this opportunity? Why did you start your own business? There are many reasons why people join an opportunity, but almost always they are looking for a way to make some extra money (part-time), while doing what they’re already doing.
Pursue Your Best Life and you can do that right here – Learn to Earn.
Get a Burning Desire
Get a burning desire in order to accomplish everything you want. Get your motivation in place – no one else is going to motivate you as good as you can motivate yourself.
Your Thoughts
Your thoughts drive your beliefs which drives your decisions which drives your behaviors which drives the choices and the actions you make for your life. Therefore the thoughts you have today will drive the future you have tomorrow. Choose your thoughts wisely, they are powerful – you control your thoughts – not your thoughts controlling you. Use your thoughts to figure out how you can accomplish your dreams and desires.
You have control over three things in life:
The thoughts you think
The images you visualize from those thoughts
The actions you take
How you use these three things determines everything you experience. If you don’t like what you’re producing and experiencing, you have to change your responses
Jack Canfield
All that you achieve or fail to achieve is a direct result of your thoughts. When you combine your thoughts with your wants and your desires you can translated everything to a life of abundance. YOU have the power WITHIN YOU to change your life just by how you think.
Believe in Yourself Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy
Anthony Robbins
Get rid of your limiting beliefs and replace them with empowering beliefs of what you can achieve – more money, more freedom, more choices – Stand Up for What You Believe In. You have to believe you are worthy of achieving everything you want and desire. If you don’t believe you are worthy you won’t take action. Don’t settle for less – believe in yourself! Until you really believe you really deserve what you really want you most likely won’t achieve it. To believe is to be certain. Build your foundation of belief, belief will shape your reality.
You can be anything you want to be, if only you believe with sufficient conviction and act in accordance with your faith; for what ever the mind can conceive and believe the mind can achieve.
Napoleon Hill
You can make a decision on achieving your wants and desires and act on your belief while casting aside your dis-empowering beliefs so you can move towards what you want to Be Do and Have. Build the belief that you can make whatever you want to happen!
What Do You Want
If money and skills were not an issue – what would you really want? If you can’t decide what you really want you will lose opportunities. It’s all about moving forward to a life of abundance and you won’t experience any growth without making decisions, taking action on those decisions and executing on those actions. Sometimes you just have to jump in with both feet and the best way of doing that is having a close look here:
You Have the Power to Succeed
There is one quality which one must possess to win and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants and a burning desire to possess it
Napoleon Hill
Once you make a decision and know what you want then stick to it and act on your decisions. Your definite purpose and wants will motivate and drive you. It will fill you with enthusiasm. Get this on paper – Write it down – Look at it daily – Speak it and Act on it. Getting clear on what you really want and what matters to you is an important step to achieving the life you want to live. It will give you personal confidence and you will experience prosperity and growth.Stop Caring What Other People Think About You – go after what you want by being bold and being different, don’t follow the crowd, don’t conform because conforming won’t get you what you want!
Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
Howard Thurman
Create Your Vision
Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be!
James Allen
Imagination is everything it is the preview of life’s coming attractions.
Albert Einstein
The vision you create will become part of your inspiration and motivation and it also gives you a purpose to keep going, it will drive you to greatness. Never let any limiting beliefs or others beliefs or others shared thoughts and words stop you from visualizing what you want for yourself. Don’t let your past triumphs or failures dictate your vision of what you can Be Do and Have in the future.Learn the power of dreaming big dreams, write the visions of what you want for your life and your future, use a vision board and/or vision journal. Get everything on your vision board – pictures – words – quotes – make a collage of your true wants and desires. Review it twice daily – add to it – adjust it to fit your wants. See your vision with clarity and confidence and with the belief it will all become your reality. Feel it – See it – Make it Happen – Bring it to life.What does your vision entail – everyone’s will be different and tailored to themselves:New Home – New Vehicle – Vacation – World Travel – More Confidence – Better Health – More Money – Financial Freedom – Time Freedom
For as many different people in our world there area as many and more different visions of what we want to Be Do and Have in order to “Live Life Your Way”Live your vision with purpose with emotion, build positive emotion around your wants and desires. It will build momentum because you are not only thinking and visualizing but you are also feeling it which in turns builds more belief.
Immediate and Urgent Action
I think there is something more important than believing. Action! The world is full of dreamers; there aren’t enough who will move ahead and begin to take concrete steps to actualize their vision.
W. Clement Stone
Take consistent action otherwise, nothing will happen. You don’t have to wait for perfection. Just get out there and ask – all you’re looking for is an answer – a Yes – a No or a Maybe…that’s it that’s all – pretty simple
You will get out of life what you have the courage to ask for!
Oprah Winfrey
You can make decisions – you can build belief – you can create all the visions you want – you can affirm all the thoughts you have – BUT nothing will happen without action…..
Action is the real measure of intelligence
Napoleon Hill
Have the courage and willingness to do what it takes with patience and persistence because with daily action steps comes positive results. You create your success one step at a time by engaging – informing and educating others. Whatever you do – don not get in the rut of getting ready to get ready so that you can get ready to possibly do something. You have everything within yourself to achieve you biggest goals and YOU WILL achieve them one step at a time.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step!
Lao-tzu
Just Do It – as Nike says – Take That Step!
Success is made of many small steps that can and will make a big difference. The small step you make today will make all the difference in your tomorrows.
Action conquers fear
Peter Nivio Zarlenga
If you’re not feeling fear on some level then you are still within your comfort zone and until you step out of that zone you will not expand your life. Don’t worry about what people say or think. Don’t worry about the “no’s” – worry about the opportunities you miss if you don’t try – if you don’t act.
You wouldn’t worry about what people think if you knew how seldom they do
Eleanor Roosevelt
Be Grateful!
Gratitude unlocks fullness in your life. Gratitude makes sense of your past brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.
Melody Beattie
Basically you will not attract what you don’t have if you’re not grateful for what you have in your life now. Take time everyday to be grateful for what you have in your life presently, be thankful. Your happiness is not born in the future is is right here right now.
Be thankful for what you have and you will end up having more. But if you concentrate on what you don’t have you will never ever have enough.
Oprah Winfrey
Your Starting Five
I have been a hockey coach for over 25 years and I understand that your starting line up can make or break each period let alone the whole game. As it is in hockey so is it in business – it is imperative that you think about your key associates that you want to work with. You want to ensure they are action takers and are driven to succeed as you are, otherwise you may be jeopardizing your business. Building teams in sports or business becomes similar in so many ways: There is team chemistry
There is a competitive spirit
There is the ability to be coach-able
I understand the importance of the points listed above as I see so many similarities between sports and business on a regular basis. You succeed when you have the best team chemistry, with balance, and skill balances that compliment each other. The right mix of individuals that come together effectively and perform well offers the best opportunity for success (winning). Its not about having ALL Superstars, because that typically does not blend well together.
Your team is typically comprised of different personalities, talents and motivations that will come together to be a cohesive unit. This type of synergy can produce greater results as a unit than if they were to work independently and individually from one another. This is one reason why I believe so much in teams and teamwork, this type of framework creates a better chance of success and winning for everyone.
Building success is about being competitive and building a business with a team of the best available talent willing to work for the common good of all involved.Take control of your organization (team) from the start, work with motivated action takers, because your success is not based on luck, it is based on working with your associates effectively, understanding that achieving success takes purpose, coaching, instruction and guidance, from this you and your team will reap the rewards this business has to offer.
Set Your Plan in Place – In Summary
The above is an outline – a guideline – a road-map to get you from where you are now to where you want to be. Can you see how everything ties into everything, how using the combination of all the above steps can and will move you forward to a life of abundance allowing you to Be Do and Have whatever you desire.
Its what you will become in the process that will change your life forever…. grow from the inside out – growth along with self development or personal development is key to each individual as well as to each team.Get your foundation in place and you can lift yourself and your business to new heights. Be committed and take consistent action, be a value added person with your associates and you will have a win-win business.
Follow your intuitions – you could find unexpected benefits. Motivate yourself because you can’t depend on others to do it for you, it must come from within. Your motivation can cause momentum with those you associate with. Study some inspirational material, review your vision board/journal, reaffirm your wants and desires.
When you’re creating something new, you will have to make room for it, clear some space on your schedule. Remember you can leverage the efforts of others as well, thereby increasing your efficiency, as well as the efficiency of your team, or your business associates.
Schedule your priorities and perform prime activities in prime time.
Do what it takes and persist.
Be prepared to go the distance
Keep planting your seeds, because those that plant their seeds regularly, and nurture them consistently will reap the harvest.
You start with a clear decision to get what you want and why you want it. You control your thoughts and gain belief in your vision and connect it all with a purpose. Then move to persistent action to do whatever it takes all the while being grateful for what you have.
Step into your place – You will get what you want
You can make a difference in the lives of others
Whatever course you decide upon, there is someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe your critics right. To map out a course of action and follow it to the end requires courage.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You Will Win If You Don’t Quit!
But You Must Start
