Success: The Courage to Take Risks…

QuoteAugust 7, 2017August 7, 2017Success Strategies 2 Comments

“Success requires the courage to risk disapproval. Most independent thought, new ideas, or endeavors beyond the common measure are greeted with disapproval, and ranging from skepticism and ridicule to violent outrage. To persevere in anything exceptional requires inner strength and the unshakable conviction that you are right.” – Chin-Ning Chu

How To Plan Your Week: 9 Simple Steps

August 6, 2017Success Strategies 2 Comments

I hate Mondays!

This is a common cry of many workers whose jobs are like a desert. A place that is dry and parched. A place that’s without hope. Indeed so many hate the job they do.

Why stay there? Why not take the steps to do something more satisfying that you can step out with a Shimmer of hope, and breathe ahhh…tis Monday! I love what I do!

Well the reality is that for most people that seems like a passing dream. Often there is so much to do that many go the Casual route. Wish it away! Get stuck …unable to do anything.

Need help? Here are 9 tips for those interested in their performance, as adapted from Joe Duncan’s list. This will help you plan your week.

9 Tips to Plan Your Week

Look back on the past week and list everything you did well.
Do the same for those areas that you think you can improve upon this week
Think about the coming week. Set your expectations for your personal performance
Write down the top 5 things you have to get done this week, and by what date and time you plan to get it done
Next to each of the 5 points write down 3 points on how you are going to make them happen. Simple things will do. Don’t make it complicated.
List the top 3 things you are going to do this week that will move your life forward in a big way. Consider, (i) who you can network with; (ii) your biggest income generating opportunity; (iii) identify one skill you can practice or learn to become more valuable in the market.
Write down 2 things you will do every morning before you get ready for work, or for the day.
What’s the one thing that you are going to do this week that will make you feel alive and that will make you feel the greatest sense of joy and accomplishment? This includes things like taking family somewhere nice for dinner; doing something for you (massage, exercise, other), or even just buying toys and giving them to the kids in a hospital
Write it down. Plan it. Schedule it…make it a priority

Need Extra Income? Here Are 20 Ways…

August 4, 2017August 5, 2017Success Strategies 4 Comments

In a recent trip to New Orleans at a book event, I had to travel around but did not need a car because I stayed close to the business district. Nonetheless, there were times I had to commute. I decided to call Uber and discovered it was very common to find professionals using their cars to earn a few extra dollars before, or after work. One mother Casually explained that her daughter wished to go on a dance tour and she needed the extra dollars! So there she was…using her car to bring in the dough!

Even more, the Symphony of the holidays is fast approaching! And if you’re like me, you’d like to participate in the Yuletide season giving gifts, attending office parties, and entertaining family, and friends.

Can’t be bothered with the fuss of the holidays? There might be other goals you’re trying to achieve such as that dream vacation, saving for your first place, tying the knot, getting out of credit card debt, or should I say that infamous student loan! All these examples I’m sure some extra cash won’t hurt!

20 Ways To Earn Extra Income

Here are 20 ways that I’ve pulled together to help you kick-start this extra income drive.

Ask for a raise (tricky…I’ll explain in a separate post).
Get a new job.
People person? Try Customer Service …check Flex jobs
Great organizer? Try being a Virtual Assistant. Search virtual assistant
Love pets? Pet sitter is a common phenomenon these days.
Writer? Try freelancing. Check out Skyword.
Get rid of junk! Rather than paying storage, sell old items on ebay, or Letgo
Good with designing websites? Try building and designing website online. Widen your expanse.
Love taking pics? Sell photos online at Foap. High demand these days from bloggers, writers, content creators, and more!
Reduce expenses. Can’t ignore this!
Stay healthy and get paid for it! Start an exercise boot camp!
Bartending or Wait tables! Patrons of hotels and restaurants pay extra bucks for this!
Sell your services online through Fiverr.
Excellent cook? Sell your baked products to birthday parties, meetings, and more!
Love kids? Baby Sit!
Live near a college? Try Tutoring.
Play music? Offer to play at Church or at Weddings!
Teach English to Adults. Contact schools or colleges.
Have an extra room? Rent it out.
And like we started out, use your car to earn extra bucks. Try Uber!

If you can’t be bothered with working 2 jobs but need to step up your Career Game and make a change, let’s Partner. Connect with me and I’ll show you how.

Cheers!

Destiny: Is Your Passion Worth Dying For?

August 1, 2017August 1, 2017Success Strategies Leave a comment

“the football field is the perfect place to die”.

CNN shared the findings that Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy ((CTE) disease was found in 99% of deceased ex-NFL players. A Rookie NFL 🏈 player said he is willing to die for the game. More directly he said “the football field is the perfect place to die”. Was he being insensitive? Possibly naive like a tethered Toothbrush? Arguments differ.

But it caused me to think …is your passion worth dying for? Substandard? Possibly….but what do you think?

Do share.

Does Being Rich Make You Successful?

July 29, 2017July 31, 2017Success Strategies 6 Comments

I have always been fascinated by the topic of Success. So much that I decided to do three (3) years of research on success and leadership. I interviewed leaders at the top of their organizations to find out what they considered to be the traits that led to their success, and the Challenges they had to overcome. Then I was lucky enough to have the findings published in the Journal of American Academy of Business Cambridge (JAABC), as well as other books.

These days when I go around to speak or attend conferences and events, I take the opportunity to find out what success means to individuals. Listen to Miko Branch Founder and CEO of Miss Jessie’s as she shares her definition of success. Miko is recognized as Pioneer for transforming the haircare industry for natural and curly hair.

Brian Tracy asked the question “Does Being Rich Make You Successful?” Responses came in many forms from those responding “YES–But“, to the more common “No’ responses giving their reasons why.

Thinking further about this Pest-like Lusted phenomenon that defies many, I heard of an ailing executive rolling in the $$$, who had an incurable condition. He was asked the question to which he replied that he would give all his money in exchange for life.

Isn’t that crazy? What most dream and become obsessed about, those who have it would exchange it for life’s normal everyday living.

Define Success

Personally, I believe it is important to define what Success Means to you. How will you know when you have achieved it? Defining it helps you to visualize your expectations, whether it is to be ‘rich’, get an education, start a family, land that dream job, or become that all time successful entrepreneur. Whatever your goal for success, take the step today to achieve it.

Now its your turn. Do you believe being rich makes you successful? Can’t wait to hear your take.

Cheers!
