10 Ways To Attract Prospects Like A Magnet by Bob Bly

I recently re-listened to an absolutely great audio cassette program, "The 28 Principles of Attraction" written by the late Thomas Leonard and published by Nightingale-Conant.

The program presents success principles which, if applied diligently, will cause opportunities, success, and wealth to come to you, rather than you having to go out and look for it, says the author. Here are my top 10:

1. Recognize and tell the truth.
2. Market your talents shamelessly.
3. Develop more character than you need.
4. Unhook yourself from the future.
5. Add value just for the joy of it.
6. Thrive on the details.
7. Deliver twice what you promise.
8. Affect others profoundly.
9. Become unconditionally constructive.
10. Master your craft.

Simple Method For Increasing Appreciation And Gratefulness

This is very powerful and can be tremendously helpful for many people.

It can work wanders for people suffering from deep depression too someone that may have a "technically" good life but are still not as happy as they feel they should be or want to be and every one in between can get amazing results by doing this simple thing.

When I discovered this technique I was in a very bad way and suffering bouts of deep depression and often thought about suicide. This simple technique saved my life and my two sons from losing their one and only parent. Now I am very happy and so glad to be alive! I'm sure you can understand that this technique is very important to me and I hope it will help many other people too.

When I started doing this I thought it seemed stupid and I didn't think I would get anything out of it but I knew I had to do something so I gave it a try and the results where amazing! So please, give it a try for at least a week and see how much better and more fulfilled you feel. Then the longer you do it the better & better you will feel and the better & better you will know yourself.

Here it is: You will need some paper and something to write with. At the end of the day write down 5 things that happened that day that you are grateful for. For some it may simply be that you where still breathing when you woke up that morning and stuff like that. If that is the best you can come up with, then that is what you write down. It can also be something or someone that made you happy, made you smile...in some way, simply anything that you appreciated that day.

Again all you need to do is at the end of the day write down 5 things that happened that day that you are grateful for.

This is both very simple and very powerful. Do this at the end of every day and you will be surprised at the results. As you keep doing this it will get easier and easier and you will get happier and happier.

If you know anyone that could use some more happiness, appreciation or gratefulness in their life please forward this to them so they can enjoy the benefits too.

Why most marketers never achieve their goals and dreams...

In today's post, I'm going to talk about one of the main reasons why most marketers never achieve their goals and dreams.

I'm also going to give you a very specific formula you can use to start hitting more of your goals, and start achieving your dreams.

You see, I've always wondered why very few people make it in business, while many fail miserably...

The successful marketers get to live the dream lifestyle, travel, and spend most of their time with their loved ones...while those that don't succeed struggle just to make ends meet.

I've been fortunate enough to become friends with some of the most successful people in our industry, and I've picked up a lot of their keys to success.

It all starts with how they set their goals.

Did you know that "how" you set your goals has a lot to do with whether you achieve them or not?

It's true...

All the successful marketers in our industry set S.M.A.R.T goals, while the rest set regular goals.

In fact, EVERY successful person in the world (regardless of industry), sets S.M.A.R.T. goals.

S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for:

Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Realistic
Time limited

If you want to achieve a goal, it must be:

1. Specific: A specific goal has a much greater chance of being accomplished than a general goal.

2. Measurable: You need to have some way of measuring your progress if you want to achieve your goal.

3. Achievable: A goal must be achievable. For example, setting a goal to break the 100m world record when you've never ran track is NOT achievable.

4. Realistic: A goal has to be realistic. For example, if you've not made your first sale yet, it's unrealistic for you to set a goal to become a millionaire in the next 3 months.

5. Time-limited: You need deadlines for all your goals. A goal without a deadline is only a wish.

Here are some examples of regular goals and their S.M.A.R.T counterparts:

I want to get in shape (regular goal).
I will lose 10 pounds in the next 10 weeks by working out 3 times every week (on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays) and cutting out all junk food from my diet (S.M.A.R.T. goal).

I will fire my boss (regular goal).
I will fire my boss by December 31st 2012. I will do this by dedicating 4 hours every day after work to build my self-development business (S.M.A.R.T. goal).

Those are just a few examples, but I'm sure you get the point.

You can also break those goals into smaller sub-goals to make them more S.M.A.R.T.

Do this for every single goal you set from today and you will quickly see the results.

5 Tips For Improving Your People Skills

Improving your interpersonal skills is something that cannot happen overnight. The only way to improve is to practice and actually do it. Many of the skills may take time for you to adopt, however there are also some quick little techniques that can start to make things easier almost immediately.

1) Stay professional. Remember no matter whom you're talking to make sure you are at your best. The way you act reflects on your character. Learn to deal with situations in an appropriate way.

2) Establish credibility. Be sincere, if you are truthful and upfront with people it will go a long way to gaining others' respect and trust.

3) Understand others' point of view. Remember to reflect on what others tell you, even if you disagree take the time to learn and understand where they are coming from.

4) Learn about others. Take time talk with employees or clients. Conversations do not need to be work related, rather simple conversations that help you learn about the person and build rapport.

5) Be confidant. Keep eye contact and your body relaxed. Be sure to speak clearly and at a moderate pace.

YOU Are Amazing and YOU Will Succeed, IF... by Richard Bravo

IF ...
You fill your mind, your heart and soul with positivity.

IF ...
You encourage and empower others in their journey—where ever they are going.

And most of all, IF ...
You believe in yourself and shrug the bombardment of negativity surrounding you.

You clicked to read this for a reason. My guess is because deep down inside you're sick of all the negative news and drama. Deep down in your core, your heart, your mind and your soul, you are looking for the truth; a better way.

You want to be loved and accepted.
You want to be successful and happy.
You want to live a purpose filled, fulfilling life.
You want to know that your time here counted for something.
And you want to be part of something meaningful.

You see, there is a war being waged—a war against your mind. And some would have you believe that the only way to succeed is by joining the herd and playing off people's emotions by using negative messages to scare people into taking action. That only way to get people's attention is to foster fear and pain of loss.

But what have you really accomplished by doing that? Have you really helped anyone or simply sold them something? Go for the conversion.

Have you truly helped them find a solution to their problem OR just set them up for repeat purchases.

Do YOU really truly feel fulfilled by fueling fear and inciting negative thoughts in people's psychology?

People do respond to fear and loss and drama and negative news. CNN, Fox, MSNBC, etc., may draw an audience with fear and negativity. But is that the audience you want to draw into your business and life? Do YOU really aspire to be part of the machine perpetuating it?

What kind of life is that creating? Are you truly happy? Is that the legacy you want to pass on?

There's a great line from the film Gladiator: "What you do in this life echoes in eternity."

How do you want people to remember you?
How do you want people to speak of you when they mention your name?

Don't be the "Me Too" marketer that feeds on negativity. It takes authenticity and courage to be creative, go against the norm and bring something different to the marketplace.

BE ... Inspiring
BE ... Empowering
BE ... Encouraging
BE ... Passionate
BE ... Positive
BE ... Purposeful
BE ... Fulfilling

But most of all, above all else, Love people.

Truly strive to better your fellow man.

The saying is true, it does echo through eternity..."The greatest of these is love." (famous RED LETTERS)

You Are Amazing!
You Have the Power to Succeed!
You Are a Winner!

Live with passion and vigor and love people and you will be successful beyond your wildest dreams!

If you resonate with this message, Pass It On.

Live Long & Prosper.

5 Tips For Public Speaking

The thought of giving a speech can seem daunting, but I assure you it won't be if you are prepared. People do not expect you to be perfect, but they want a speech to be honest, easy to comprehend, and delivered clearly and concisely. Here are some tips to help you achieve this:

1. Be simple. It is best to use a simple outline. You'll want an introduction, main points with supporting details and a conclusion. Avoid complex language and try to keep it as simple as possible.

2. Add details. By having a simple structure, you can bring in details to make your speech interesting. Use variety when compiling information (e.g. personal anecdotes, newspaper, media quotes, statistical studies, examples, fun definitions). If you want to add style, try repetition, word play or rhetorical questions.

3. Know your audience. Why are these people coming to hear you speak? What do they want or need from this speech? Put yourself in their shoes. Are they learning about this subject for the first time or peers who already understand the basics of the subject? Think about these things and then write your speech accordingly.

4. Beating nervousness. First of all, it is imperative that you know your audience. This will wipe out any fear of not knowing what to say. If you are over-prepared you will automatically be less nervous. Also, know what your opening line is to help take away the anxiety of getting started. Lastly, practice, practice, practice! If you have already given your speech several times, it won't feel like the first time.

5. Body language. Be sure to stand tall, smile, and avoid lots of body movements. Too much motion can distract the audience. Keep your hands and arms in an open position because you will look more confident. Finally, talk slowly and remember to breathe!

Attributes Of Successful People

Success of some kind is something that most of us aspire to accomplish. Many people have a hard time of it and don't understand why. In this article you will find out the attributes most often found in successful people so you can do these things too and enjoy the benefits for yourself. One thing you do need to understand is that most people that have success, have earned it. Yes, earned it. They deserve their success because they have worked hard for it. If success was easy everyone would have it. Are you willing to do what it takes? Read this article and then decide if truly being successful is right for you.

In life successful people are driven to accomplish their goals. Whether you're looking to heal a relationship, get a new job/ start a new business, lose weight, find inner peace...consider these characteristics, which are common to people who succeed.

1) Vision: Successful people get what they want because they know what they want. They have a vision that keeps them motivated and efficiently on track. They see it, feel it, and experience it in their minds and hearts. What do you want to achieve? How would that affect your life? How would it feel to have succeeded in accomplishing your goal? You need to know what it feels and looks like to get there. You MUST know what you're going for.

2) Strategy: People who consistently win have a clear and thoughtful strategy. You must make a thorough plan of what you need to do and when you need to do it. You need to write it down and stay on course. Avoid any alternative that does not get you closer to the finish line.

3) Passion: Are you excited to get up in the morning? People with a passion are, and they're energized about what they are doing. You need to live and breathe what it is that you want, and be passionately invested in both the journey and the goal.

4) Truth: People who consistently win have no room in their lives for denial, fantasy or fiction. They are self-critical rather than self-deluding, and they hold themselves to high but realistic standards. They deal with the truth, since they recognize that nothing else will make their vision obtainable.

5) Flexibility: Life is not a success-only journey. Even the best-laid plans sometimes must be altered and changed. Be open to input but think it through and consider potentially viable alternatives. Be willing to be wrong and be willing to make corrections. Sometimes you need to take some steps backwards or even start over to make corrections that get you better to success.

6) Risk: People who consistently win are willing to get out of their comfort zone and try new things. Be willing to plunge into the unknown if necessary, and leave behind the safe, unchallenging, and familiar existence in order to have more.

7) People around you: Surround yourself with a group of people who want you to succeed. They will move with you toward your goal. Choose and bond with people who have skills, talents and abilities that you do not. Winners give and receive by being part of other people's groups.

8) Action: Do it! People who succeed don't just sit and think about what they want to do. They take meaningful, purposeful, directional action consistently and persistently. Every step they take puts them toward the outcome they're looking for. Action, action, action! As much action as you can. Do, do, do. This can even mean skipping some TV time!

9) Priorities: People who consistently succeed manage their challenges by priorities. Commit to managing your time in such a way that does not allow you to spend time grinding along on priority numbers two or three if priority number one needs your attention and action.

10) Self-management: People who consistently succeed consciously take very good care of themselves. They are the most important resource they have in achieving their goals. They actively manage their mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health. It is very important to take good care of yourself.

11) A controlled environment: It is vital that all the things and spaces around you are kept up, clean and organized! It is both mentally and spiritually soothing to be in an environment that is under control but most importantly order and disorder have a very strong psychological, mostly subconscious effect on us. Everyone has a certain amount of mental capacity. That is how much of your mind can handle at one time. Why is this important to understand? Because every piece of your environment that is not kept up, dirty, disorganized, not the way you want it is basically not under control. Every bit of it, no matter how small or how big, takes up some of your attention (part of your mental capacity) either consciously or subconsciously or both. That means that you have less of your mental capacity to focused your attention on anything like making conclusions and decisions, be creative, have the energy you need to face the day and your goals. Some people are so out of control that they can barely have the energy to get out of bed in the morning not to mention actually taking on their day and goals with PASSION!

Many people have an environment that is to some degree out of control and getting in under control can be a daunting task. For some it may even seem practically imposable. Please do not worry, it is doable even for the moderately disorganized pack rat. There is some very good news here. You see, getting control has an accumulative effect on your life. That is that the more control you accomplish the better things go in your life. Here is a big secret about getting control; Getting control over the little, simple, easy-to-do things makes it easier to get control over the bigger stuff. So start with the small, quick, easy-to-do stuff and the momentum will keep up its pace. You can even get help from a friend or family member but only as long as they will just help and be supportive and NOT CRITICIZE OR PUT YOU DOWN! This can be difficult enough without having more negativity put in your head. It may help to show them this article so they understand what you are working on accomplishing and why. Do as much as you can every day while continuing to do your regular chores and you will see it get better and better and you may be very surprised what big difference it makes.
