Are You Wandering Through A Jungle Of Self SabotagePosted by admin on August 19th, 2009

The attempts to become successful by many people tends to deflected by what is called self sabotage.  Have you ever felt like you have sabotaged yourself?  did you ever thing from time to time that you had set boobie traps that would slow you down or even bring you to a complete halt?  Chances are that have probably flattened a few of your own success tires or blown up a couple of your own financial bridges and even spread around a few rumors about yourself.

Well, it is time to put a stop to all this and catch the culprit before it gets too out of hand.  It is truely worth your effort.  so how do you do this and keep control so that your little saboteur does not run will again?  Become a person of intention and in alignment with the world around you.  Be convicted to succeed.  Use your intuition to recognize and realize when you begin to set success land mines that will throw your off your road and into a temporary ditch. 

This kind of transition does not happen all at once and will take to time to implement.  Sometime it will take quite a “wake up” call to get your attention.  it will require you to get your act together with no other choice.  You will stop looking for your someday and realize that the time is NOW. This is when you see that the dreams and efforts that you had some time ago are ready for harvest.

The secret is to get yourself to do what you you know you must do.  Now that you have been working at your “saw has been sharpened” and it is time to use it. The situation with most people is that they are busy hacking away in pursuit of their dreams with a dull axe.

What Do Others See When They First See You?Posted by admin on April 16th, 2009

Have you ever wonder just what people were thinking when you walked into a room?  Do they see who you want them to see?  They could but maybe they don’t.  Maybe what they see is not what you are portraying at all.  If you are the speaker in a seminar you need to portray a certain amount of poise, confidence, and character.  You may think you are portraying that image but in fact your posture may say something else.  Your clothing may not be exactly what you need to give that impression.  That is if that is what you want your audience to think.  Some will say that they don’t really care what the people think.  But in reality, what the people see is what their first judgement of what you have to offer is.  If your sales or success in closings are not where you would like them to be,  maybe a look in the mirror may tell a story.  If your suit for the men and dress for the women is frumpy and sloppy looking,  that is what they see for the business, product or opportunity you are offer.  When you hear the expression “Dress for Success”, take heed.  there is more to that statement than you think.

What Do People See When You Are Not LookingPosted by admin on April 6th, 2009

There times, I am sure, that you have  thought it was not important to maintain your appearance when you were just around friends, at the grocery store and not on the job.  This happens frequently and most people do not realization that your appearance and your character in the casual is just as important as on the job for two specific reasons. 

 The first reason  is that you remain aware of your posture and the way you handle and carry yourself on a regular basis.  It becomes the norm and not the occassional.   This way you can insure that if you run into a potential client or customer the can be assured that you are the type of business person they would like to do business with.  What you portray on the outside will always reflect what is on the inside no matter where you are.  Which brings us to reason number two. 

When you are at your best self image and confidence, you are always prepared for who you might run into outside your home or office that could influence your life and the lives of your family.  If you are setting goals for improvment in lifestyle for your future it is very important to remember that in many cases , people see you and get an impression before you see them.  Your attitude will also teach those around you and your family to take pride in the impression you do leave at any given time.  Successful people are always aware of the impression they are leaving when in public areas.  It could open or close doors for the future.

Is Being OK With Yourself Just An ExcusePosted by admin on March 16th, 2009

So many times in the recent past I have heard especially women say “I’m OK with the way I am”.  But is that really OK?  Or is it just a blatant excuse for being lazy or unmotivated to make changes to be the best you that you can be?  Or even a lack of character and confidence.  If you have a business that deals with body improvement and you can’t see your ankles or elbows because of your weight, how much credibility do you really think you really have.  Or if you write about business and/or relationships yet after attending a promenant meeting all you can expound upon is the quality of the food and not the content of the meeting, do you really think  people are going to take you seriously?   Your first impression says everything about you and your character.  It reveals your self image and that will reflect upon how a person will feel about how you can do your business.  It is time to wake up and smell the flowers or lack thereof.  Thinking it is OK to be OK with yourself is a cop out and just an excuse to not improve your valuable image.  What people see first is what many base their future business dealings on.  And if you are not willing to step out of you boxed in comfort zone and do something physically to look your best then you should not be surprised if your business is not growing to the extent you would like it to either.  Let’s get real.  Being OK is not OK and it is time to stop finding excuses to do what it take to become the best you that you can and should be.  You will feel better about you also.  A new image is always a plus and when you look successful you will be successful.

Whether You Know It Or Not Your Image Builds Your BusinessPosted by admin on March 9th, 2009

For many prople, it is time to reinvent their image.  Your first impression says alot about you whether you know it or not.  If you plan on being successful, soon or later you will have learn how to dress for success.  Sooner would be much  better than later.  The common excuse used for not purchasing clothing that speaks loadly about what you want is cost.  But if you can dream it or imagine it, it has a greater chance of manifesting for you.    If you can keep that in mind and take whatever comes unsought then you will receive your opportunity to rise above where you are now. 

Your clothing should get the job done without you evenopening your mouth to say a word.  It should be congruent, compelling and consistant with the messege you want to give abut yourself.  It should also fit the profession that you want to enter into.  Make sure that your clothing fits you as well.  There are times for extreme fashion and time to allow somethings to remain hidden. Remember that  body that moves increases in value.  So if  a change of weight is called for, then it is a good idea to make it happen.  Fashion Designers do not make clothing particularly in plus sizes.  If you want to look like a million bucks you have to dress like a million bucks.  Spending a little extra money on one nice designer outfit that fits will save you a bundle of money on a bunch of clothes that do not.  No whining about the pricetag….. When you are a victim, you don’t even enjoy being miserable.  One or two outfits that are spectacular can do so much more than a closet full of items that do not create a great self image.   Treat yourself and uplift your spirits and you will see more confidence and character  in yourself each time you put them on and it will show to those around you.  So take charge and get noticed.  Your future is in your hands and in the clothing on your back.  You will feel better and be more efficient in whatever the work you do when you show value in who you are.  That air of confidnce will attract to you all you need to be successful.

Reinvent Yourself In These Times Of UncertaintyPosted by admin on March 5th, 2009

There are several terms that I have heard about making changes to yourself.  One term is new to me but I like the sound of it.  It seems that in some cases a person needs to go through a transformation or reinvention to see the difference in themselves.  They don’t see themselves as they could be. But continue to see themselves as they are or as they were.  By reinventing yourself you start from a completelydifferent point than just a small change here and there.  That is probably why there are so many makeover shows in television.  Most people can not imagine what can be so they stay stuck on what is.  By looking at a total makeover or reinvention what we really can be will then emerge. Our character will have a new beginning and our confidence level will rise. Your new image can bring a welcome change on the inside as well. 

With new confidence you can step into another world unlike the one you are currently in to create a new life.  Even in these times of uncertainty, you can become a newer, better, more prosperous person and life a lifestyle you have desired but not yet achieved.  By taking that first step of change you will see your character make changes as well.  By looking at yourself differently, others with look at you with more belief that the direction you are taking is a path to success.  You will find that your netowrk of associates will grow which in turn creates more opportunity for growth and new heights.  Especially in these times of economic uncertainty, redirecting and reinventing yourself may be the only way to weather the storm.

Are You Packaging Yourself For Where You Are GoingPosted by admin on March 4th, 2009

Are you packaging or presenting yourself in the context you are in now?  Is where you are now where you want to be in the future?  If not, maybe you are dressing inappropriately for where you want to go and that can be hindering you from getting there.  Or getting there faster than you are.  Your attire says alot about you and your ambition.  If someone you may be trying to land a contract with does not see you literally ready for the future, even by the way you may be packaging yourself you could either not get your contract or there may be a seemingly sizable hesitation in the negotiations. 

If you are not where you want to be in your life you should not be dressing anything less.  There are affordable ways to put together a wardrobe, hairdo and for the ladies, makeup to put you right where you should be, package wise.  When you look the part, the chances are more than likely that you will move toward your goal quicker, easier and with more confidence.  Your self image may be your new image and your key to your new future.  It is all in the package.
