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.
Nothing Happens Until Someone Sells Something…
How a Master Business Strategist thinks about Sales Management…
According to the American Marketing Association (AMA), Sales Management is defined as “The planning, direction, and control of personal selling… including recruiting, selecting, equipping, assigning, routing, supervising, paying and motivating as these tasks apply to personal sales force.”
Sales management is essential to the attainment of an organization’s revenue goals in an effective & efficient manner through planning, staffing, training, leading & controlling organizational resources.
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.
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.
Thoughts on Stress
Good vs. Bad Stress…
There are millions of articles on stress.
Lots of explanations and lots of bullet points on how to manage or cope with stress.
Don’t stress over the small things…
Don’t stress out…
Don’t be the victim of stress…
There is no such thing as a stress-free life.

There is more opportunity today than there has been in 40 years.
Believe it.
People are getting ahead in their careers, emotionally and financially.

The issue is, are you getting ahead as fast as possible?
Mindfulness = Hopefulness
How Mindfulness Creates Hope…
If you have been following along with The Time Prism each day, you are not just receiving a flood of great ideas… you are becoming more MINDFUL.
Mindfulness means maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and the surrounding environment, through a gentle, nurturing lens.
Your Legacy…
Legacy…
When we created The Time Prism, we knew it would make people smarter, more productive in the moment. Good ideas in front of you all day long will do that!
You set yourself up to achieve more and get ahead faster.
But…
If you have been following along each day, you are not just receiving a flood of great ideas… you are also creating a wonderful legacy!
The 10 Second Miracle
Everything Can Change in 10 Seconds…
When we launched The Time Prism we had no idea how it would be used.
The design is simple enough: Read… Breathe… THINK.
Each screen was written to be short and on-point.
You simply READ what is presented to you…
Take a deep BREATH to inject some oxygen into your brain…
And take 10 seconds to just THINK…
About what was being said…
About anything at all that pops into your mind.
The Result?
The sad truth is that opportunity doesn’t knock twice.
I have built my entire life around seizing ever-growing opportunities.
I have yet to hear even ONE knock on my door — or whack me upside my head.
Opportunities behave quite differently from what we have been trained to expect.
You must have POWERFUL LENSES with which to see and sense them.
Goals: The Confluence Between Dreams, Desires & Beliefs
There are many popular definitions of the word GOAL.
Most define it as a dream with a date… we define it as a dream with a deadline.
The deadline implies a commitment to both the dream and the time it will take to achieve it.
A better definition might be that goals represent the confluence between Desirability and Believability.
It is the recognition that it takes BOTH to create a goal that will ultimately be achieved.
