So, what did I learn from this contest?

First, I learned that…. competition certainly does bring out the best in some people. It was great to see the marketing styles of the various contestants.

I learned that…. for me, I need to be true to myself and be authentic and it was refreshing and inspiring to see how many people out there understand the importance of Personal Development and how critical self growth is if you are going to succeed in life.

I know this because of all the wonderful comments I received and from visiting so many other blogs during the contest.
For me, my first priority will always be to offer as much value as I can to my readers and followers with content that will inspire, motivate and encourage people to grow as an individual first.

I learned that…. it is important to continue to build real relationships with real people and to be a go-giver and not expect anything in return and I WILL attract abundance into my life.

I learned that... it truly is about self-discipline and being able to persevere and to be consistent in your behavior, your values and your beliefs on a DAILY basis and to put your plans into ACTION if you want to achieve your goals.

Finally, I learned that… just like the title of my blog, you can achieve “Success One Day At A Time”

Personal development and quality business training has never been more important than it is today.

Consider these facts:

The average person will increase their salary by only 2-3% annually.
Each year inflation increases by approximately 2-3% annually.
That means that, without lifelong learning, it’s virtually impossible for the average person to get ahead.

However…

Top Achievers, people who are continually learning and growing, DOUBLE their income every 3-5 years.
This is why the top 10-20% increase their incomes by an average of 11% annually and earn more than the bottom 80%!
To separate yourself from the pack, you often need to know just one additional skill…and that will make all the difference in your pay scale.

Time Management: Ten Ways to Expand Your Productivity

August 10, 2011 By Marc 33 Comments

“Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.” ~ Jim Rohn

We all have the same 24 hours in each day. So, why are some people able to accomplish so much more in the same time frame ?

Are these people special, have some hidden talent or work harder ?

The secret to getting more done without necessarily working harder than others is proper time management. Many successful and skilled people struggle to manage their time and end up less productive than people with excellent time management skills.

Time management allows you to get more done with less effort.

You can also reduce the stress that goes along with having to finish multiple tasks at the same time.

Time management is no easy task. A good time management plan will actually take time to develop and implement. However, be aware that even though you spend much time planning and managing your use of time, it will prove to be an effort that will pay dividends to you…

Because, good time management is the only way to successfully approach any project. This will also allow you to free up time for other leisure activities as you learn to make more productive use of your time.

The following is an article by Ann Rusnak- The Time Diva

Want to gain more control over your time? Try these time management tips.

1. Gain Time by Planning Ahead

Resist the temptation to rush right into doing something. 15 minutes of daily planning can immensely improve your productivity while reducing crisis management and stress.

2. Decide what You Want

Before you can get anything done, you need to know what you want to accomplish. Goals will provide a direction on where to spend your time.

3. Stay Flexible

Even the best laid plans can totally awry if you over plan. Allow breathing room for unexpected interruptions and opportunities

4. Take 5 Minute Power Breaks

Five minute power breaks can invigorate and boost energy levels. Take plenty of during day. You can stretch, daydream, get out of the office, motivate yourself by reading quotes or browse through a catalog. The important thing is to disconnect and unplug for what you where doing.

5. Are You A Perfectionist?

Perfectionism can really drain your time. Adopt the attitude of Done is Good and remember you can always go back and tweak it later.

** Brian Tracy is a leader in the field of human development. He is a millionaire, entrepreneur, businessman, author, and motivational speaker, not to mention time management expert…please watch Brian’s brief video below:

6. Make Friends with the Word NO

This is where planning and goals become invaluable. Planning show you how much available time is in your day, making it easier for you to say NO to unimportant tasks.

7. Know Your Biological Prime Time

Are you morning, a night or late afternoon person? What time of day are you at your best? Knowing when your best time zone occurs, you can plan your higher priority activities during that time.

8. Set Your Priorities

Not all activities and task are equal. Use the 80/20 rule when prioritizing your task. Select the top 20 percent that will bring you the highest reward. Put those activities at the top of your list.

9. Join Procrastination Anonymous

Overwhelm can cause procrastination. When you don’t know where to start, its easy to put off starting at all. Reduce overwhelm by breaking projects down into 15-minute tasks. (Remember Step 1, planning?) Complete those 15 minute tasks and the project will seem much easier.

10. Give Yourself A Reward

Celebrate all your wins even the smallest. Promise yourself a reward for completing a task or project. Most importantly keep that promise.

Do You Know Your E.V.E. Ratio ?

July 10, 2011 By Marc 20 Comments

“Personal development is your springboard to personal excellence. On-going, continuous, nonstop personal development literally assures you that there is no limit to what you can accomplish.” ~ Brian Tracy

What is the EVE ratio?

EVE is an acronym which stands for your Education Versus Entertainment ratio. It is the ratio of the dollars you spend on education and personal growth versus the dollars you spend on entertainment each month. Many Personal Development advocates believe your EVE ratio will, in many ways, determine your destiny.

Unfortunately, millions of Americans are happily entertaining themselves into the poorhouse.

As you learn about your EVE ratio in the video below the question to ask yourself is, “Am I spending my time and money on activities that are tension relieving or goal achieving?”

As always it’s your time your money and your choice, but choose wisely it’s also your future!

The Personal Development Industry is a multi-billion dollar business that you can now be a part of.

Personal development and success modeling are the hallmarks of all successful people. Successful people never stop learning.

This does not necessarily mean “formal” education. Actually formal “grade” level has little to do with your personal or financial success.

In fact, some of the richest people in the world never finished school. Case in point…Bill Gates dropped out of college. But did he stop learning? NO! Has he been successful? Well… I’ll let you answer that one.

For successful people, life is an endless adventure of self improvement.

People all over the world are becoming increasingly more aware that they must continue learning and educating themselves throughout their lives in order to achieve long-term success in the field of their choice.

Who Is Responsible For Your Success ?

June 30, 2011 By Marc 28 Comments

“Accountability breeds response-ability.” Stephen R. Covey

Accountability is a concept in ethics with several meanings. It is often used synonymously with such concepts as responsibility, answerability, enforcement, blameworthiness, liability and other terms associated with the expectation of account-giving.

In leadership roles, accountability is the acknowledgment and assumption of responsibility for actions, decisions, and policies and includes the obligation to report, explain and be answerable for resulting consequences.

Remind yourself – if it’s meant to be it’s up to me.

Every choice, every decision you make creates the outcomes you have in your life. Take personal responsibility and be accountable.

Known as The Accountability Master, Marsha Petrie Sue dares people to take personal responsibility for their choices, success, and life. She is original, unique, and a one-of-a-kind professional speaker and author.

Enjoy the video below..

Personal responsibility is the most important ethic you can exercise. With the cultivation of personal responsibility comes growth in all areas of life. It is a matter of taking charge of your own self and your circumstances through well-directed thoughts, words, and deeds.

Also, be aware that learning never ends, giving you the opportunity to effect change and to improve continually. Personal responsibility is the science of success in living well.

Having gained all the benefits of personal responsibility will give you the position of being sought after by others for help. So teach them about personal responsibility so that they too can grow and come into their own.

Teaching others to be responsible for themselves and their actions or lack of actions is just like teaching someone to fish so that they will always have food, rather than the temporary solution of giving someone food with the result that they will again be hungry shortly. If you allow others to demonstrate for themselves that they can catch fish..they will now be able to feed themselves, which will also feed their self-esteem.

Take the personal responsibility to look at the underlying cause of problems so they can be completely resolved, rather than just quick fixes.

Personal responsibility ensures not only happiness in the present, but also certainty about the future. Personal responsibility is the most important ethic you can continue to develop.

So remember, “if it’s meant to be it’s up to me.” ~ don’t blame others, don’t point fingers at other people for your lack of success..

What Is Your Most Valuable Asset ?

June 16, 2011 By Marc 21 Comments

The single most important thing to remember about any enterprise is that there are no results inside its walls. The result of a business is a satisfied customer.” ~ Peter Drucker

According to Dr. Theodore Leavitt, Dean of the Harvard Business School, the most valuable asset that a company has is its reputation. Dr. Leavitt defines reputation as “How you are known to your customers”.

In marketing and business, we refer to this as your “positioning” or “brand.” Your reputation is determined by the way that your customers and prospective customers talk about you and your company in the marketplace.

Customer service is those activities provided by a company’s employees that enhance the ability of a customer to realize the full potential value of a product or service before and after the sale is made. This will hopefully lead to customer satisfaction and repurchase.

The interaction anyone has at any level with your company, your employees,including you, gives a customer..whether current, potential,(or internal or external) an opportunity to make a judgment about you, your company, all companies like yours in the industry.

Whether you operate in the online or offline marketplace, one of your primary goals and that of your company should always be superior customer service, which will lead to loyal customers, prospects, downline, etc. and retention.

What is your role as a salesperson? In this clip, Brian explains how your role is the same as a company: Create and Keep Customers!

How do you want people to talk about your company ?

Do you want them to say that you have high quality products and services, excellent customer service, before and after the sale, that you are a high integrity company and that your people are some of the nicest people to deal with in the industry?

This brings us to the most important part of this lesson. It is the discovery that your personal reputation is your most valuable asset as well. Your personal reputation, the way that you are known to others and talked about by others when you are not there, is the most valuable asset you have in determining your success and happiness.

People who succeed over the long term are those who have excellent reputations. The people around them respect them and talk highly of them when they are not there. These people are known for certain qualities, especially integrity, honor, straight-forwardness, quality work and dependability.

So, your most valuable reputation is your character. It is your willingness and ability to make commitments and then to keep your word. It is your ability to deliver on your promises, to do what you say you will do, every time, without exception.

What could you begin doing, starting today, to make sure that people talk about you in a positive way after they have done business with you?

Do you have marketing geared toward your current customers?
Do you take the trouble to find out things they specifically and generally like and dislike?
Do you ask what you might do to serve them better?
Do you find out information about your customers?

Keep a list of their names and addresses so you can keep in constant communication with them. If you have an online business, you can easily build a list with a Capture page, an opt-in form and an auto-responder.

Once you establish your reputation..instead of you looking to find new customers, they will be finding you. In addition to that, their lifetime value will be much greater by your building the greater value into your business. This happens just by catering to your current customers rather than doing the usual routine of chasing after new ones.

That is why you will never lack if you keep your customers coming back !

With the right customer service you can keep your customers for LIFE!

A happy customer is a loyal customer. Loyalty comes by your customers knowing you care about them, are actively educating them in the things they are interested in, and knowing you will continuously be able to meet their needs in the best way for them.

Whether you operate a business offline or online, you will need to exhibit these traits with your customers, your internal organization and online with your downline and your prospects in order to fulfill all of your goals and dreams..

I hope you got some great value out of this post today! Please leave me a comment down below and let me know what you liked the most. What have you done to ensure customer or downline loyalty?

Time Management and The Home Based Business Entrepreneur

June 3, 2011 By Marc 30 Comments

“The purpose of time management and getting more done in less time is to enable you to spend more face time with the people you care about and doing the things that give you the greatest amount of joy in life.” ~ Brian Tracy

Time management skills are essential for anyone who wants to achieve success. How you manage your time will determine how fast you will succeed in your endeavor.

People think that managing your time will make you too rigid and inflexible.

The reality is that many people hide behind this false idea and use it as an excuse for not having the self discipline they need to succeed. The fact is that people who are disorganized often suffer a good deal of stress. It turns out that the better organized you are, the more time and opportunity you have to be truly relaxed and truly happy.

Home-based businesses have provided income for families long before the internet. However, the internet has made opening and operating a home-based business easier than ever. These new businesses can provide you the opportunity to earn a substantial income in the comfort of your own home.

However, the picture isn’t always so positive. A home-based business requires work just like any other business. It has to be treated like a business and NOT a hobby. It’s important to make the best use of your time to enable your business to bring you the profits and success you deserve.

Being at home gives the feeling of comfort, relaxation, and escape from work, so it’s very easy to lose focus and get much different results than the ones you want from your business venture.

Making the Most of a Home-Based Business

So what’s the answer?

Developing a timetable to help manage your life at home will help ensure everything gets done when it needs to be.

Follow these 3 tips to enable your time management plan to work effectively for you:

1. Use work time wisely.

Allocate a specific time slot each day for work and use the time just for that.

2. Schedule enough rest time.

significantly

Avoid the temptation to cut into your rest time to get more done; use rest time for actually resting so your work doesn’t suffer.

3. Include scheduled breaks. Once your timetable includes scheduled breaks during work slots, you’ll have something to look forward to. You’ll also have less of an urge to take “unscheduled” breaks while working.

Watch the following Brian Tracy video and learn about the self-discipline need to become an efficient time manager..

Poor Time Management Can Lead to Unnecessary Challenges

Of course, how you manage your time at home will significantly impact the success of your at-home business. But what poor time management can also affect is “the rest of your life.” That’s right, working at home in a careless manner can really take its toll on other things. You want to strive for a work/life balance.

Family time and other important activities could be negatively impacted if you do not work in a desirable way and don’t reserve enough time for such things.

Fitness, health, and diet also need your direct attention when you’re a home based entrepreneur. Not paying enough attention to those things could result in your health being in jeopardy. And that’s the last thing you want when your only source of income is your home-based business!

It’s very easy to get so absorbed in your home-based business and overlook the importance of other aspects of your life. Once you lose focus, your relationships will start to suffer and you may start neglecting your health. If you’re working 16 hours per day, then you’re most likely not exercising or eating properly. Additionally, you will not be spending time with your loved ones. Try to avoid this situation!

Here is the key: Structure and organize everything that you possibly can. Think ahead, expect the unexpected events, prepare thoroughly, and focus on specific results. If you do this, then you can be completely relaxed and ready to take action when the situation changes.

Once you create a structured approach to your business and life in general, you’ll find that you’ll accomplish more, get more financial fulfillment from your business, and be able to achieve balance in other aspects of your life as well!

So, try to take a step back on a regular basis and evaluate yourself, your life and your time usage. You need to become a master of your time rather than a victim to the continuous pressure of time.

How Can Positive Self Talk Help You Achieve Your Goals ?

May 21, 2011 By Marc 45 Comments

“Your ability to use the principle of auto-suggestion will depend, very largely, upon your capacity to concentrate upon a given desire until that desire becomes a burning obsession.” ~ Napoleon Hill

We all have access to a powerful tool which when used regularly will increase our self esteem, and break through limiting self-imposed beliefs…It is called positive self-talk.

Everyone wants to be physically and mentally healthy. The true measure of “mental health” is how optimistic you are about yourself and your life. You can learn how to control your thinking in very specific ways so that you feel positive about yourself and your situation, no matter the circumstances.

We have all been there and it is normal and natural to have self-doubt along your path to greatness. But, if you understand the power of self improvement and and are able yo harness that power, these obstacles can be overcome quickly…

Using Positive Self-Talk to Conquer Any Goal

Do you feel like you are always talking yourself out of success?

As soon as you start to set goals for yourself, do you suddenly have negative thoughts about how you aren’t up to the task and you are not able to see it through till completion?

If you have ever experienced either situation, you need to change the way you respond to your inner thoughts. Instead of following your negative commands, you can use positive self-talk to reverse the negativity and overcome nearly all anxious thoughts.

Setting Goals and Sticking to Them with Positive Self-Talk

Are you initially filled with excitement when you first set goals for yourself?

Are these thoughts then followed by self-doubt and self-defeating thoughts that stop you in your tracks before you even get started?

It can be difficult to make the most of your life when you are constantly talking yourself out of being a success. It can be frustrating and discouraging to constantly have these thoughts . Actually, quite often we will not be aware we have these thoughts. All we know is that we don’t have the confidence to stick to our plans and reach our goals.

But there is a Solution!

Positive self-talk is an effective way to set goals and ensure that you stick to them, even if you have never been able to do this before. The way this works is that you decide what goal is important to you, and then you plan how you are going to achieve this goal.

Re-Programming Your Mind

Affirmations are essentially positive statements that re-program your mind for the positive. The moment you have a self-defeating thought you’d be able to counter the negative with a motivating statement. An example of a positive affirmation is: “I am worthy of great success,” or “I see myself in the winner’s circle.” What this does is replace negativity with thoughts that will help you move toward your goals instead of further away from them.

Positive self-talk is easier to implement than you might think. You may not be aware of the the harm that can be caused by the negative thoughts currently within your mind. However, once you begin with positive self-talk, you will suddenly realize that you are self-sabotaging the goals you set for yourself from the minute that you make them.

This process can make you aware of how much this inner conversation has been interfering with your life. You’ll feel hopeful that you can now set goals and achieve them and beyond.

Through positive self-talk you will be able to easily set long and short-term goals for yourself. And when you use affirmations, you’ll have access to a great tool to help you push yourself further than ever before. Learning to quiet negativity with positive thoughts is a great move toward setting and attaining future goals with ease.

Just remember, much of ability to succeed comes from the way you deal with life. One of the characteristics of successful men and women is that they recognize that there will be temporary disappointments in life, and they accept them as a normal and natural part of life. They do everything possible to avoid obstacles, but when problems come… successful, disciplined, continuous learners are able to learn from them, rise above them, and continue on the path to achieve their goals and dreams.

The Road to Empowerment in Five Minutes or Less

January 30, 2011 By Marc Leave a Comment

I would like to share a great video by David Riklan of Selfgrowth.com
Each of us has within us the power to take control of our lives and create a happy and fulfilling life. Here are some steps to accomplish this goal.

Empowerment means living an authentic life – your life – a life that energizes you.

Mahatma Gandhi summed up this idea when he said “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”

But many people today don’t feel as if they’re living an empowered life. Instead, they live their lives based on how they think other people want them to live, and allow others to define their life experience. This leads to unhappiness and dissatisfaction with life.

So how can we boost our sense of empowerment, and put ourselves on the path to a joyful, purposeful life? David will take you through a 3-step method some people have used to boost their sense of empowerment, recommended by his friend Valery Satterwhite.

Step 1 – Become the Examiner of Your Life

Examine your life experiences. If you had a bad experience ask yourself “What within me created this experience?”

When you discover the limiting belief you had that resulted in a bad experience you will see that it is an area where you have given up your personal power. You were afraid in some way. These negative thoughts create triggers, stuck places, and old, repeated, unwanted patterns. You Find Excuses And Reasons to not move forward. The acronym for Finding excuses and reasons is FEAR.

When you have a good experience do the same thing. Examine it. Ask yourself “What within me created this good experience? You’ll discover the positive thoughts and actions you took that created the good experience. Now you have the recipe to create similar good experiences over and over again.

Step 2 – Act on your Intuition

The late Irish poet John O’Donohue reminded us “The blessings for which we hunger are not to be found in other places or people. These gifts can only be given to you by yourself. They are at home in the hearth of your soul.”

The voice of your personal power is your intuition and inspiration. This voice will always speak your truth. It is a calm, certain voice or feeling that you get that is packed with information, thoughts and ideas that will move you closer to what you want. You know this voice. It was that gut feeling you should have listened to but probably didn’t.

Step 3 – Rewrite Negative Limiting Beliefs as Empowering Ones

Once you’ve examined your past and begun listening to your intuition, the next step is to face your negative and limiting beliefs head-on and overcome them. That’s the final step to reaching real empowerment.

Here’s how to do that. Take each misguided rule and pattern you see yourself following, and rewrite it as a positive, empowering thought.

You were born with the power to experience and enjoy the life you desire. You have the power to fully express who you are, what your truth is, what your passions are, to create the life you dream of.

In the words of Frank Baum, author of The Wizard of Oz: “The dreams that you dare to dream really do come true”
