The Midas Touch in a Single Word: Strategy
Smarter Business Starts With a Smarter Strategy.
Today is a great time to think about the year ahead, what you must do to increase market share, attract new business, and build greater value.
That, of course is the desire.
But the reality is, most businesses will simply ignore the idea of creating an actual strategy, instead, attempting to throw a bunch of random tactics at the day to day issues every business faces.
Which is why the business failure rate continues to ravage the hopes and dreams of entrepreneurs everywhere.
Just 4 Words Will Put Resolve in Your Resolutions…
This is something of a BAD news, GOOD news story…
The bad news is that 80% of all resolutions fail by the second week of February. Around 50% bite the dust by January 12th!
The good news is that you can turn THIS year into your best year ever by simply putting more RESOLVE in your resolutions.
There is no reason for you to work your tail off and still come up short this year. But to do this, you will need to take a slightly different approach, and employ a more consistent course of action.
We are all creatures of habit…
The truth is, habits you created 1-5-10 years ago are controlling your life today. This is as obvious as it is well documented.
Passion Turns The Ordinary Into Extraordinary…
I always love to read this quote by Maya Angelou around the new year, as it sums up a hundred pages of thoughts in a single sentence, “My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.”
Isn’t this what we all want?
A life filled with passion and purpose?
A life of compassion and hope?
To thrive with style?!
Of course it is!
It’s Time Again To Look Back and Ask, “What If?”
What If???
As we close out 2018 and look forward to 2019, it’s a great time to take inventory of how far we’ve come, and where we want to go in 2019.
Many of us had a wonderful year, full of opportunities, challenges and positive results.
Some had real problems, professionally, emotionally and financially.
Regardless, it’s time to stop for a moment and ask the BIG question… “What If?”
What if I had worked a bit smarter… how much further down the line would I be?
What if I had stopped long enough to THINK a bit more each day… what opportunities would I have been able to seize?
What if I had taken time more seriously… what could I have accomplished?
Think & Grow Rich: The Power of a Single Thought
The App Napoleon Hill Would Have Loved and Wanted You To Have!
In 1937, Dr. Napoleon Hill penned a book that would sell millions of copies and become the touchstone for self-improvement readers everywhere.
He titled it, Think and Grow Rich… a book designed to connect the dots between our imagination… our ideas… the thoughts we think… and our ultimate success in life.
Around the same time, a young scientist named Albert Einstein opined that, “Education is not merely the learning of facts. But rather, education is training the mind to think.”
WOW — what a great idea — a system to get us to think and grow rich.
Kindness Is Inspired Hope
Kindness Is Essential to Your Success…
We you think of a truly powerful and successful person, what do you see?
Drive, for sure.
Working smarts?
Mastery of success-essential skills?
Always operates out of a higher sense of passion and purpose?
Is generous, appreciative and thankful for what they have now, not just in the pursuit of more?
Emotionally committed to helping others thrive?
Financial savvy?
A person who inspires hope in others… a powerful compassionate leader?
The Power of Unconditional Commitment
Total Commitment…
As part of the launch of our 2019 Midas Touch Bundle we will be talking about big issues, but in a highly condensed format.
Today it is on the power of total commitment.
As we say in The Golden Game, there is a big difference between INTEREST and COMMITMENT.
Think about this the next time you order bacon and eggs.
The hen is merely interested in your breakfast…
The pig is totally committed!
Commitment can be thought of as your intention to produce a result.
Emotional Freedom: Life is Good…
Accept Thy Self: Heal Thy Self…
When you do, you earn the freedom to pursue your dreams to the full extent possible!
All of our hopes and dreams begin in our imagination.
What we call our Someday Dreams in Success On Purpose…
Someday I will go to Alaska…
Someday I will learn to play the piano…
Someday I will be married to a wonderful, warm and loving person…
Someday my family will enjoy the fruits of all my hopes and dreams.
Of course, the list is endless… because our imaginations are boundless.
A-B-C: Always Be Closing
Leading A Sales Revolution…
As part of the launch of our 2019 Midas Touch Bundle we will be talking about big issues, but in a highly condensed format.
Today it is on the process of turning a prospect into an actual paying customer.
As we say in The Golden Game, there is a big difference between MARKETING and SELLING.
Marketing is all about values and establishing the customer’s wants, desire and need for what you have to offer.
Selling is the belly-to-belly dance where you part the prospect with money, provide him a fabulous product and service, and he presumably becomes your customer for life.
Fairness Is Your Super-Power
Fairness…
We all want to get ahead.
That is a given.
We also want to get ahead on a playing field that is inherently just and fair.
Hence our continued struggle to field our dreams against the backdrop of an inherently unjust and unfair world.
Authenticity: Know Yourself First…
Authenticity…
When we created Success on Purpose the idea of Natural Mission and Authentic Direction in life was a big question mark.
We see the finding authenticity to be a connection issue.
Connection with your VALUES…
Connection with your VISION…
Connection with your ROLES…
If you live your values while pursuing your visions in all the various areas of your life, you have Authentic Direction.
If you live someone else’s vision… or someone else’s values… you will certainly have problems in finding Authentic Roles.
Leadership Is Innovation In Action
Leading Innovation…
As part of the launch of our 2019 Midas Touch Bundle we will be talking about big issues, but in a highly condensed format.
Today it is on the connection between leadership and innovation.
If your business is a rising star, you know the power of hyper-fast innovation… and have mastered the leadership skills required for hyper-growth.
If you business is more of a problem child, you will benefit from this thinking.
Winning In Business is a Street-Smart Affair…
Street-Smarts Rule…
It takes all kind of smarts to make the world go around.
Here’s an observation from J. B. Smoove…
“There’s book smart, there is street smart, there’s relationship smart, there’s too many different kinds of smarts to know all of them. Everybody doesn’t know every kind of smart. There’s money smart, there’s movie smart, there’s computer smart. There’s just too many different kinds of smarts for people to know all the smarts.”
Leadership Thoughts…
Leadership…
Leadership can be hard to define and it means different things to different people.
In the transformational leadership model, leaders set direction and help themselves and others to do the right thing to move forward.
To do this they create an inspiring vision, and then motivate and inspire others to reach that vision.
Commitment: The Power of Greatness Within
Greatness…
We all know that to achieve extraordinary results we must be absolutely committed to both, the big WHY behind our actions as well as the expected RESULTS.
Commitment is one of those giant words we see as instrumental to the pursuit of both success and happiness.
It is very much a “believing is seeing” issue.
In TQ-speak, commitment is the 5th C in the 6 C’s of success as found in Success On Purpose:
Clarity of VALUES leads to clarity of VISION…
Clarity of VISION leads to clarity of ROLES…
Clarity of ROLES leads to the absolute CONVICTION that what you are about to do is the RIGHT thing to be doing…
Which leads to the unconditional COMMITMENT to doing whatever is required to achieve the vision…
I Am Grateful…
Three Little Words That Change Everything…
I Am Grateful!
I Appreciate You!
I Love You!
We could go on with word selections, but you get the idea.
Gratitude is a force of nature, woven into our humanity, and when employed, we see magic… miracles… maybe even transformation.
In Search of Honor…
What does the word HONOR mean to you?
Most people think of honor in the same light as respect.
But for most of us, the word has a much deeper meaning, especially if you served in the military.
Take a couple of minutes to focus your attention on the above video.
THINK about the word in context to the ever-changing story of your life.
Live for the Moment, Plan for the Future…
There is a simple program that will make a huge difference to your life.
It is best described as “Instant Illumination.”
Where once you were living in a haze, you can now see what you must do differently to attain what you want most:
financial independence… a better career… or even more time for yourself and your loved ones.
Don’t Limit Your Challenges… Challenge Your Limits!
Do you know your limits?
Let’s start here.
No one knows their limits until pushed well beyond anything they ever experienced before.
People who thought they couldn’t, could.
People who thought they had reached their limits, hadn’t.
All progress in history is made by people who challenged their limits…
Empowerment & Mental Toughness
“To me, Microsoft is about empowerment… we are the original democratizing force, putting a PC in every home and every desk.” ~ Satya Nadella Empowerment… The Key to an Empowered Life. Now On Sale. Ultimately, empowerment is a deeply personal word that means many different things to different people, under differing circumstances. It sometimes means giving […]
