Extraordinary Minds Hold Gratitude

Posted: November 21st, 2009 | Author: Leseo |

Extraordinary minds are very good at grasping the big picture.  While most of us are trying to remember who gave us our last good deed, really successful people are highly aware of the thousands of gifts which support their lives.  Give a Listen — Gratis

54 Master Success Coaches in Conversation

54 Master Success Coaches in Conversation

It is near Thanksgiving Day in the U.S.  Not that we should save gratitude for a feast day, but still, a good reason to pause and reflect.  The following is taken from the Ultimate Feel-Good Article. Enjoy, and practice the surprise!  And don’t forget there are some League of Extraordinary Minds Panels still to be aired. You can listen to them Here.

What if the Ultimate Feel-Good Article is something WAY DIFFERENT than you expected? Something you can’t even look for. Kind of like what they say about a solution to a puzzle only showing up after you sleep on it, or the answer to a prayer not coming from where you thought it would.

What if the Ultimate Feel-Good Article is one you write yourself? Hey, don’t feel cheated, at least not yet. Like Billy Mays said, “Wait, there’s more.”

  • Proposition 1: Spend 15 minutes a day (5 min. for new mothers/fathers and other time-challenged creatures) being with yourself, and jot down a few things you are grateful for. Lists, prose, poetry, outlines, stick-up notes, napkins, doesn’t matter. What matters is that you practice — five minutes every day that you don’t have an all-day migraine.
  • Proposition 2: Let the habit sweep you into a new mindset.
  • Proposition 3: Allow yourself to think this is important, and it carries the potential to make a BIG difference. Keep your tidbits, WRITTEN.

THE BIG PROP: Read the stuff on the days when you least want to do so.

Read it aloud.

Recite your lists to pets, babies, sleeping squirrels in your oak tree, house plants, mirror, friend on the phone, partner if you have one, favorite lamp, doesn’t matter. What matters is that you listen. Listen, huh?!

The Ultimate Feel-Good Article turns out to be ephemeral, unless it gets to take root in your psyche. So you have to actually listen to yourself to have this work for you long term.

(Short-term yada-yada is quite acceptable, however, because it gets your brain used to the messages, even if your mind still thinks it’s hogwash.)

Try this. Yes, of course, come back and explore our offerings, but first…

Go read YOUR Ultimate Feel-Good Article. Then come back and leave us a comment, or questions about getting the hang of it. We’ll be here for you.

Spot-on.  We agree.  Give your mind this extraordinary habit-gift.  It can be yours.

And bend an ear toward these conversations.  That gift can also be yours.

Both opportunities can morph into game-changing habits that last a lifetime!

Ventriloquists — Five Hidden Tips for Success

Posted: September 26th, 2009 | Author: Laraine |

There appear to be insider similarities between certain puppeteers and really good entrepreneurs.  These five tips were discovered recently and we offer them to you, for your Apt Success:

Be able to speak with more than one voice.

  • Communicate effectively with lots of people
  • So they feel your attention is specifically on them, and
  • Help them feel you understand and care for each one.

Get caught doing something that makes you happy.

  • Communicating your satisfaction and happiness
  • Makes you a source of positive motivation
  • And encourages interest and audience participation.

Be willing to share the spotlight.

  • No one likes a mega-limelight hog.
  • Collaboration can make competing even more effective
  • And send you to stardom with less ego bruising.

Use your talents and skills for good causes.

  • Give back to the community
  • It’s good business —
  • And it’s the right thing to do.

Leave your audience wanting more.

  • Athletes call it leaving at the top of their game
  • Great singers say their voice will tell them when to retire
  • The most effective marketers put out a clear call to action
    and then let the buyer make the decision to act

Veritably all successful entrepreneurs (or other performers) know these rules.  Comedians use common experiences to establish feelings of connection among their audiences.  Listeners feel they are a part of the process because they catch glimpses of themselves in the act.  Sometimes both figuratively and literally!

Laughing is contagious.  So is happiness.  Broadcast your positive image and be a presence everyone will want to associate with.  Invite participation both directly and indirectly.  Model the attitude you hope to foster in others.

How engaging would a ventriloquist be all alone on the stage?  Much of her best material could not be communicated in it’s usually effective way.  The same is true of entrepreneurs who need others to help them achieve goals and dreams.  Going Big means getting support, sharing tasks, collaborating on projects, and sharing the spotlight. Be appreciative of your helpers, mentors, and cohorts.  Find good ones.

Giving and giving generously are standard markers of success.  Whether referring to moral character, community image, networking acumen, or business strategy, giving is good.  For all the right reasons.

This is the hardest one for most folks.  Saying your piece and exiting, leaving your audience wanting more, is a learned skill.  Getting to the place where you have confidence can be a lengthy journey.  Shorter, much shorter if you have good teachers.

Strategy

Posted: August 27th, 2009 | Author: Leseo |
Make it so today is not like yesterday, and tomorrow will be different forever.
~ Anthony Robbins

What a tall order. Too Tall, for some of us to reach easily.  In fact, it may take some real cleverness, or at least some great tricks and tools.

Good news!  There are such tools.  Some of them are habits and skills that make a huge difference in our resilience and success.  They can give us increased energy and improve our mood.  They can lower our anxiety and help us feel like we do have some control over things.  They can move us out of the stuck places in our lives.

So take heart and check out the resources we offer, and then begin to practice some of the suggestions and learn the skills.  They can help you get through difficulties with better self-esteem, and maybe with your dreams and visions intact.

Watch this space!  Exciting new resources are always coming and going, so take advantage of those time-sensitive offers. Look for things that help you define and reach your goals.  And things you want to learn because it simply makes you happy.

In the meantime, see if you can begin to believe you can.
Make it so today is not like yesterday, and tomorrow will be…different forever.
