January 24, 2020

Have you ever thought or wondered at some point in your life, what do successful people do?

sunset-beach-people-sunrise-40815

There are 8 powerful transformations, habits, patterns or things that extraordinarily successful people do, which will help you get the best version of yourself.

becoming-the-best-version-of-yourself

1.- They reprogram and understand how the mind works.  Your internal dialogue, knowing how to communicate with your mind is vital.

2.- They have a powerful mind control of the images they project and the words they say to themselves.

Your mind only responds to two things:

  • To the images, you make in your head
  • To the words, you say to yourself

3.- They are familiar (accustomed) with the unknown. Your primitive brain always returns to what is familiar, the detail is when:

  • Known = Negative
  • Unknown = Positive

This is why people (including myself) get stuck in the comfort zone and mediocrity, avoiding doing the unknown for fear of failure or fear of change.

4.- They do what they don’t like or hate first. The secret to success is doing what scares you first or to perform first those difficult tasks that are often left for tomorrow or postponed (procrastination).

5.- They take imperfect mass action – Executing or taking action every day in the direction of your goals is the key and the habit you have to develop.

6.- They delay instant (immediate) gratification for long-term (future) benefits. You have to love and enjoy the process.

7.- They know and have the primordial belief of “I Am Enough“. It is about knowing that YOU ARE SUFFICIENT, that God has given you EVERYTHING to succeed in life.

This will allow you to love yourself and regain your self-confidence.

8.- They can deal with rejection and criticism. If you want to succeed in life, you have to be immune to rejection and criticism.

Do you want to win in 2020?

January 22, 2020

Of course!

2020-PUBLICIDAD

If you want to have the best year and the start of the greatest decade of your life. You should focus on the following goals (I recommend you to check the first two Goals for winning in 2020).

3.- Block time for social networks.

It means you should never pick your phone randomly and scroll through Instagram, TikTok, Facebook. Also, ever you should never just randomly pick your phone to check email.

Let me put this in perspective, for example, the average daily time spent only on Facebook is 58 minutes, according to a study by SimilarWeb.

Time on facebook

The power to spend 58 minutes during a year only on Facebook is equal to 44 workdays in a year.

Did you know about this? Are you surprised?

This is so simple, no matter if you are an influencer on social media or building a brand for your business or have a personal brand, you should never pick your phone randomly and scroll through social media, you have to schedule it. Just not waste time!

4.- Every day you need to ask yourself the following question. If I had to double… the thing I am doing what would I do? How?

The mentality and importance of asking how would I dramatically increase this thing will force you to realize what is essential and what is not essential to work with excellence daily and be more productive. The idea is to delegate the things that let you focus on another thing.

5.- Find a mentor, a tribe or a mastermind group.

The environment is so vital and very important for your success. Let me remember to Jim Rohn “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with”.

You should talk with leaders (people that are where you want to be) every single week about your performance, goals, strategies, mindset, performance towards those goals.

Goals for winning in 2020

January 18, 2020

The simplest thing for winning in this new decade is to have a higher intention and deeper discipline. However, you should build habits around these goals.

1.- Quarterly, monthly, weekly and daily goals.

You should never start a Monday without clarity about what happens by Friday. Otherwise, you are going to lose a lot of time. Keeping a schedule is so important. Don’t just make goals, plan time to make progress towards them.

female-865110_1920

Daily you need to ask yourself, what are the primary things that would I love to achieve?

Keep in mind always to execute or take action!

 2.- Morning work preparation.

Even if your day is already scheduled, you need to look at your goals for the day and ask this simple question.

How could I fulfill this day with excellence?

Remember the motivational quote “Good – Better – Best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best”. This commitment to continuous improvement should inspire all strive to improve ourselves every day.

The idea is literally to look at the day know what you want of the day and then close your eyes and visualize the successful completion of the day. It means to visualize, think or meditate on each of the major activities of the day and ask yourself, how could I do that with real authenticity and excellence?

The mission is to have mindfulness, visualization, thoughtfulness about how you are going to win the day.

Why attention is important for you or your business

January 11, 2020

The world’s population is around 8 billion (if you need the exact number check here). It means our world is a crowded place, were all vying for attention. Everyone in any way is competing to get the most possible attention for ourselves or our business.

 

I consider 100% that attention is the singular most important asset for anybody trying to achieve anything. It does not matter who you are, where you live or what do you do, not matter. Yesterday, now and tomorrow, no matter when. If you want to create anything you need one’s attention.

attention-1024x536

Understand what the consumer is doing this second is so crucial. The customer service is critical for any business. So, our focus should only care about the end consumer. It means to understand their behaviors and where is their attention.

people-holding-their-phones-3184435

The way or how to get your business the most attention possible in 2020 is building a Brand.

It is simple “If you are not building a brand, you will NOT relevant”.

 I believe that a brand over search will transform your business, for example, let’s go to think for a moment in a decade when somebody needs you. People will be in their house, kitchen, office, car or wherever, and they will say to any voice device or voice machine (like Alexa, Google, Apple, or whoever wins) “I need an architect“.

The big question is, what are you going to do that?

We are at a massive crossroads in technology where a personal brand is not some goofy thing or some audacious thing or something we look down on or do not care about it.

So, I highly recommend everybody to pay attention to build a brand because is going to be the only thing that matters.

Marietta – Another item for the “Can’t fix stupid” folder.  The Internet is full these days with guru’s promising to help you attract thget_it_nowe opposite sex, get lucky, have more dates than you can ever handle, how to talk to women, or men.  People actually fall for spending money on corny classes and conferences on how to have crazy sex anytime they want.  Let me let you in on a little secret that has a 100% guarantee, “if you want to want to get “lucky” with new partners every day, then have very low standards.”  That’s it.

Develop and work on having good relationships.  You become who you associate with.  #NcourageXcellence

Relationships are Human Capital

August 4, 2015

KENNESAW – Do you really value your professional and personal relationships?  I had an opportunity to meet David Nour, www.davidnour.com in 2010 to discuss his book, Relationship Economics (Amazon). Not only was David fascinating to talk to, but his application of social media to promote his activities and capabilities is spectacular.  He argues that all relationships have value, either positive or negative.  Inventory your relationships and make the most of the positive ones in your life.

Author: David Nour
Author: David Nour

Relationships become the human capital of our lives and either make us stronger or weaker, richer or poorer.  Nurturing good relationships and shedding bad ones should become second nature to us.  If you want to reach the next level in your personal and business life, then invest in good relationships. Give of yourself to help others be successful and it will return huge benefits, not only to you, but to the world.

This becomes the foundation for the 80/20 lifestyle.  Twenty percent of the relationships of our lives determine eighty percent of our life’s outcome.  Focus on strengthening the good relationships in our business and personal lives and shedding the bad ones.  It shouldn’t be hard determining which ones are which.

Encourage Excellence today with one of your close friends.
