In a recent online article by Forbes, it mentioned the 10 Things That People are Buying. For example the list includes: Smart Phones, video games and consoles, gym memberships, personal care products and my personal favorite toy building sets ie. LEGOs.
Let’s talk about what you are selling and what your team is buying AND can they sell it to your customers. In today’s climate, one product you may find yourself selling is change. Just a few thoughts on dealing with change.
First of all recognize that people are in different stages of change. Some of them are not buying into it, some of them are thinking about buying what you are selling and some of them are “in it to win it”
For the group of people that are not buying in. You want to include in your strategy an educational portion. It is true that knowledge can change fear to acceptance.
For your group that is thinking about it, your message has to include motivation. They want to keep hoping, so your job is to sell the hope.
For the group that are “in it to win it” activate them. Get them involved in the process. Let them be a part of education and motivation.
Until next time,

What makes an achiever? Ambition, drive, determination, perseverance and applied faith.
Start with a definite goal in mind. Determine what you want from the world. More importantly I believe is to decide what you want to contribute to the world. Some people have a tendency to set goals to low. I challenge you to raise your sights.
So moving. Once you know what you want to do then want it so much that you move toward your definiteness of purpose. Acting in applied faith, stay in the race.
You just don’t know who is watching to become a part of your tribe.
Until next time,

As an accurate thinker you must scrutinize every bit of information you encounter.” Napoleon Hill
In the days leading up to the transfer of power in our country was the meeting with President Obama, President George W. H. Bush, President George W. Bush, President Clinton and President Carter. One piece of advice that resonated with me was the advice on discerning accurate information.
As a leader, don’t look for ‘yes’ men. Look for people that will be willing to bring you the tough truth. Moreover we are responsible for asking without prejudging or leading.
The result of discerning truth and asking without preconceived thoughts on responses will result in a stronger team. You will be modeling the way for your own team of emerging leaders.
Until next time,

One of the exciting things about doing what I do is seeing the transformation from a team of many to a team of one.
How is this possible? When a group of people first come together, often there is an uncertainity about whether it will all work, how it will work and what will it look like. The rallying call becomes the centering force for the group. As the group moves from their strengths individually to their strengths as a team, they become a team of one.
What does it take to get to the “ONE”? The rallying cry has to be powerful and unwavering. And of course the leader has to know what role the team needs and step in effortlessly and effectively.
Nothing new right? I was reminded recently that “to know and not to do, is not to know”, what is the current temperature of your team?
Until next time,
