  • Don’t just be Valuable; Be Productive.

    So I\’ve been teaching on growth and personal development for quite some time now, and how to build success habits, I just feel the need to place a little additive on the drugs I\’ve been feeding… And here it is…
    \”It\’s not necessarily Valuable people that are rewarded, bit productive people\”
    As you are growing, you\’ll only get frustrated overtime if you do not do something with the knowledge you know. You\’re growing? Good. You\’re learning everyday? Great. Your mind\’s transforming regularly? Awesome. The question is, what are you doing with it?

  • Why habits really matter

    Every single person has a goal, a want, a need, something they want to achieve and reveal in they outside reality; at least that\’s what I choose to believe, cause everyone dreams.
    Now, I don\’t really have issues with the goals, but I feel, in my opinion that the make reason why people don\’t achieve these goals is that they focus on seeing the reward as soon as possible, and loose track of progress in the transformative process.
    Truth is, the results people seek, are, in fact, really just by-products of certain habits, and should they want to get such results and have them consistent in the lives, the way is to infuse these habits into the system, and by default, thier identity gradually transforms into the person they want to be.
    Every action taken by any person, is actually a proof of who such a person really is. What I mean by that is, the nature of your actions, sum up your personal values, and ultimately, your identity. Therefore, the key is to not strive for instant outward change, but an identity change; such that you can consistently reproduce the results you seek.

    Don\’t strive to read a book; Strive to become a reader.
    Don\’t strive to give people orders; Strive to become a leader.
    Don\’t strive to run a marathon; strive to be an athlete.
    Don\’t strive for results; build the habits that bring you into the identity of that reality.

    Peace.

  • Don’t get angry; Get better…

    So you get a job done. You think it\’s amazing, but unfortunately, is just you that thinks that way. Your boss says it sucks. you get critical comments, and now you\’re just getting fumed over everything. Here\’s my question…
    What are you going to do about it?
    They said the work\’s not good. So what?
    They said the jobs not done well. So what?
    They probably put you on probation or fired you. So what?

    Does getting angry or breaking stuff or staying unhappy solve anything? Of course not!

    Regardless of what happened, it doesn\’t mean that you\’re to remain in the category of that comment. Grow bigger than it. Rather than feeling bad, build yourself and work on yourself more, till you become a force in your field.

    Like I said earlier, Don\’t get angry; Get better

  • Inherent opinions – The key to effective persuasion

    Generally, every person has an opinion of how thier own life is like, and what they feel they actually behave like or what they feel thier strengths are and aren\’t as well as what they feel thier way of life is governed by. The truth is, sometimes they are very wrong, but they\’re still entitled to thier opinion. A lot of people say they are disciplined and yet can\’t do without postponing a thing at least once…but yet, it\’s thier opinion.
    The major problem is, when we try to sell products, or persuade people, we do that on the basis of our opinion of ourselves, and eventually fall off the track of persuasion as in most cases, we are uniquely different, and on the cases we win, we probably found people like us.
    The key is to understand the idea of marketing and persuasion is engrafted in one sentence I heard from Seth Godin, which is, \”PEOPLE LIKE US DO THINGS LIKE US\”
    The idea is to know and understand how people live and make decisions and persuasion will be a byproduct. When you come from the inherent opinions they have of themselves, you lose down that protective guard on thier hearts and give them a run for whatever you say. This, in itself, is an art that only the elite choose to learn.
