Learning to let go

by | Aug 2, 2007

One of the challenges I have found in entrepreneurs (which includes me) is the ability to let go. We tend to want to do everything ourselves.

Either we think it is the only way to get it done correctly, or that we can do it quicker, better, or cheaper.

That is crazy. We are just control freaks!

What we do best in create a vision of the future and inspire others how to get it.

If we spend the majority of our time doing all the things we should be letting others do, we are not clarifying and communicating vision. And on top of that we are holding others back from realizing their potential.

Either way it hurts someone. You or them.

Let go of something today. Find someone else who can do it and pay them. It might be uncomfortable at first, and more work as you have to show them how you want it done, but in the end you have given someone else a job, and freed yourself up to do more of what you do best.

You do know what that is don’t you?

I’m working on another product I think you will find fascinating. Several years ago I was taught a phenomenal way of communicating by simply looking at someone.

 

Building Business And Personal Growth

by | Jul 5, 2007

Last week I wrote about the need to maintain relationships to reach business and personal growth goals and offered a call to share an easy to use, very inexpensive solution.

I wondered what others had to say about it:

“Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that man is here for the sake of other men.”
— Albert Einstein

“The soft stuff is always harder than the hard stuff.”
— Roger Enrico
Vice Chairman, Pepsico

“Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.”
— Mother Teresa

People don’t want to be “marketed TO”; they want to be “communicated WITH.”
– Flint McGlaughlin

This very simple solution is: sending written personal cards.

Who do you want to reach out and touch?

 

 

I can show you how I do it!

A priority on happiness

by | Jun 25, 2007

How important is happiness to you?

When I wrote the book BeDoHave in 2002, I believed happiness was found through defining and creating success for us as individuals. The book lays out the steps I use to help clients find happiness so as a reader you could do the same.
(it’s available at www.bedohaveu.com)

I have since learned there is one crucial element not covered sufficiently well in the book because I simply wasn’t as aware of it as I am now. That is relationships. I said then being happy was not about acquiring or having. In fact happiness is much more about sharing and giving.

Not only is personal happiness and success built around relationships with others but so is business success. Try doing business by yourself sometime. That is a challenge!

As a person who tends to stay at home, and away from the places most opportune to meet people, I have limited my ability to create and maintain relationships to maximize both personal and business growth needs. Realizing this, I have lately been taking advantage of opportunities to get out and meet others.

But how do I build and maintain a relationship begun in this manner?

Earlier this year I was introduced to a simple online system that beautifully solves this dilemma for me.

On Tuesday July 17 at 730 pm EST you are invited to join in on a conference call where I will share with you one way I have learned to improve happiness. Both personal happiness in everyday giving and business happiness in how to build and maintain relationships in a very simple and inexpensive manner taking less that ten minutes a day of your time or an assistants’ time.

Mark your calendar now! The phone number to call is 1-218-486-1300 and the access is 298866. You will want to be in front of your computer (and on the internet) for this one hour sharing.

See you then!

Miami

p.s. I am working hard to get a very special guest on the call.
I’ll know for sure in the next several weeks.

pps This whole line of thinking has greatly influenced my future plans. Over the next few months I am making drastic changes in all aspects of my life, leading to a very special and exciting event for us in late fall this year or early next year. Interested in happiness? You will absolutely benefit from following this journey!
