Fear, doubt and worry

Don’t think you’re abnormal.  Successful people have fears, doubts and worries, too.  But they act anyway.

Be courageous.

Goal – Campaign – Tactic

What’s your organizational goal for this year?  Write it down.  Now, what are the various ways for you to accomplish it?

What is the monthly campaign your team will be working on THIS MONTH?

OK, now – What are the tactics your people are working on THIS DAY, and each day THIS WEEK?

Think, decide, communicate, and ACT!

Leaders Needed

Is your business dysfunctional?  Without leadership a business gets dysfunctional pretty quick.

What other reason could there be?

Dear Boss – You’re Fired.

When an employee quits, they have fired the boss.  Ouch.  That hurts.

Better find out why you’re getting fired and fix it – wouldn’t you say?

How do you communicate?

Your business is a conversation in the world.  Either it’s compelling, ongoing, helpful, and memorable to your customers, employees and prospects, or it’s intermittent, broken, boring, and dispassionate.

How do you communicate and what is the result?

Share what you know

Are there more than a few important things about the strategy and operation of your business that your employees don’t know? 

That means you’re not sharing and training and communicating enough.  What good is this knowledge if you don’t multiply it’s effect and value across as many people as possible.  Chances are, they will develop it and take it to an even higher level.

Are you secure enough to share?

Manage Bad Events Well

Two steps forward and three steps back doesn’t get you forward.  Bad things happen to all of us and to all of our businesses.  If we manage them well, we can make it two steps forward and one step back.  That’s progress.

Manage the bad stuff well.

Developing Winners

You want a team of winners on your team, right?  Some people see themselves as winners and rise to any challenge.  Some don’t see themselves that way and never will.  They need to go somewhere else. 

In the middle is a group of people who have excellence in them, but it needs to be drawn out with help from a mentor or leader.  Most people inherently resist change or challenge.  But when it is placed upon them with encouragement, support and confidence in them, they bloom into greater vlaue creators.

Can you lead people like this?

No losing

Either you win or you learn.  With the right attitude, the more you don’t win, the greater your chances of winning tomorrow – if you don’t quit.

Win or learn everyday.

How fast?

We’re all going to make a million dollars eventually – it’s just a matter of how fast.

We’re all going to get a lot done – it’s just a matter of how fast.

Don’t cheat your days.
