Attracting New Business Opportunity

Attracting New Business Opportunity

“A man to carry on a successful business must have

imagination. He must see things a in a vision,

a dream of the whole thing.”

Charles M. Schwab 1862 - 1939 , American Steel Magnate

As I see it . . . . . . .

Attracting new business opportunity

Flexible people with an open mind can see things that people with a closed mind will never see. When you see more . . . . you see more business opportunities attract more . . . . and achieve more.

To achieve more you have to acquire new skills . . . . and enhance your existing skill to reach the greater levels of success that the opportunities offer.

Those who are willing to embrace learning in a changing business environment will attract new business opportunities . . . . and go on to greater success in the future. While the non-learner will straggle to keep up the pace . . . . They will longer be able to effectively compete in a challenging marketplace.

The learners keep the flame of their dreams burning brightly in their imagination . . . . and in their thoughts. They make them come true first in their thoughts . . . .and then make them become realty through their actions.

A commitment to continuous learning to acquire the necessary skills to create a cutting edge business advantage is a must. To effectively compete in a competitive world continuous learning is no longer optional it becomes a must to stay completive and to achieve greater success.

Attracting new business opportunity and greater levels of success will be attracted by those who have educated themselves . . . and effectively apply their new skills. At the same time others will be falling off the pace and will not be able to keep up without the education and the new skills.

As a result you will turn your opportunities into a strategic business advantage . . . . and maximize your new business opportunities. 

The learners with an open mind will attract new business opportunity and with their commitment to succeed they become leaders in their field.

What You’re Aware of You Can Control

What You’re Aware of You Can Control

“What you are aware of you are in control of;

what you are not aware of is in control of you.”

Anthony de Mello, Author, Speaker  

As I see it . . . . . . .

What you’re aware of you can control

Be aware of your business and personal environment for what you understand you can control. Know the people in your life . . . . and be grateful for the people that are there to support you . . . . your efforts . . . .  and are there to mentor you.

Call them friends . . . . and treat them as valued resources in your life.

What you are unaware will control you.

To compete in a changing and competitive business environment you have to keep your skills to razor sharp edge.  The professional that has the sharpest skills . . . . and applies them in a professional and affective manner creates a strategic business advantage.

Having an awareness that you have to continue to acquire new skills . . . . and keep your existing skill sharp and relevant will keep you on the leading edge of success.

Awareness keeps you tuned in your personal surrounding . . . . and your professional environment. Awareness gives you the ability to adjust when it’s required . . . . and lets you know when you’re on track. Awareness is your person GPS that lets you know where you are at any time in your career and in your life.

What you’re aware of you can control and that control will allow you to stay in control of your environment.

When You’re Negotiating

 When You’re Negotiating

“Whenever you get into a jam, whenever you get into a crisis

or an emergency, become the calmest person in the room

and you’ll be able to figure your way out of it.”

Rudolph Giuliani, Mayor of New York  

As I see it. . . . . . . .

When you’re negotiating

Remain the calmest person in the room . . . .

When you’re facing a problem of any magnitude . . . . remain the calmest person in the room.

In the mist of negotiating remain clam . . . . and keep your emotions under control . . . . and remain the calmest person in the room.

In negotiating as in solving problems it takes composure . . . . understanding of the issues . . . . and calmness of purpose to achieve a successful conclusion.

Overreaction creates confusion and a lack of focus to resolve the issue; it will also cloud your thinking and decision making. This will create a large gap in coming to a successful result that moves you in the wrong direction.

Calmness allows us to seek successful solutions, remain focused on the outcome and to stay on purpose.

When you’re negotiating remain the calmest person in the room . . . . and you will carve out a strategic advantage in creating successful outcomes.

Abilities Needs Continuous Nurturing

Abilities Needs Continuous Nurturing

“Natural abilities are like natural plants

they need pruning by study.”

Francis Bacon 1561 - 1921, English Statesman, Philosopher,

Scientist, Orator, Author

 

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Abilities needs continuous nurturing

Your abilities are like a garden.

A garden left to its own will become over ran with weeds and without attention, pruning and nurturing will grow wild and out of control. The production coming from that garden will become minimal at best.

A garden that’s cultivated pruned and nurtured will grow its full maturity and will reach its full potential.

Your abilities are a lot like a garden, if we want to maximize your abilities you have to continually cultivate prune and nurture your abilities to a fine edge. It’s your reasonability to nurture your to their full maturity.

The level of your abilities will determine the pace of your success journey . . . . and the height of success that you achieve.

Nurturing your abilities is not an event or a one time occurrence. It’s making the commitment to continued incremental improvement . . . . and the commitment to your personal growth.

Your abilities need continuous nurturing and as you continue to sharpen your abilities you create a strategic business advantage.

“The most common cause of executive failure is inability or

unwillingness to change with the demands of a new position.

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Adapt to meet the market demands  

The only constant thing in life . . . . is change.

Successful people adjust to . . . . the shifting market demands. They will move away from the things that are no longer effective . . . . and will adapt to meet the market demands with new and innovated tools. Using the new tools . . . . will create a strategic business advantage for them.

The Art of Gentle Persuasion

Motivational Power Quote

The Art of Gentle Persuasion

“One of the best ways to persuade others

is with your ears - - - by listening to them.”

Dean Rusk 1909 - 1994, Secretary of State 1961 - 1969

  

As I see it. . . . . . . .

The art of gentle persuasion 

You use some form of the art of gentle persuasion in every aspect of your life. You use it in your personal relationships, with your children and in every facet of your business and career.

You go about your daily routines giving very little thought about how the art of persuasion impacts your life and success.

A myth about persuasion is what creates powerful persuasion skills.

Many people feel it’s having a powerful personally, others feel that it’s talking to people until we can “convince them.” While other person feel that’s persuasion is it’s not accepting a no for an answer and pushing the other person hard for a yes.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

The art of persuasion not about having a powerful personally, it’s not about intimidation and has nothing to do with not accepting a no as an answer.

The art of persuasion is about listening skills.

The person who’s gathers the information to know the other person as a person is a professional listener. They will the information and understand the persons needs, motivations, the persons fears and what they are trying to accomplish.

As a professional listener you know the other better then they know themselves. You have the informational resource to help the person in many any areas of their life.

In business the information that the professional listener obtains is an enormous help to the professional in helping a person to make a sound business decision and successfully conclude a sale.

A professional listener gathers the information that when it’s correctly applied creates a strategic business advantage and that advantage is the art of gentle persuasion.

The art of gentle persuasion is listening to obtain information and helping that person to get what they want and at the same time you will get more of what you want.

The Price of Success is Focus and Hard Work

Motivational Power Quote

The Price of Success is Focus and Hard Work

“The dictionary is the only place where success comes

before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for

success. You can accomplish anything if your

willing to pay the price.”

Vince Lombardi 1913 - 1970, football coach   

As I see it. . . . . . . .

The price of success is focus and hard work

The person that is passionate about their career . . . . and is willing to work hard to become successful will have a strategic business advantage. They will beat the person to the finish line that has all the tools . . . .  but does not work hard to achieve success.

Hard work will separate the person that’s committed . . . . from the person that would like to.

The price of success is focus and hard work . . . .

When you combine your preparation . . . . with hard work that you perform away from crowds, it will make all the difference when . . . . you can execute it with excellence in front of people.

The price of success is what we’re willing to pay today to become the best at what we do. The price of success may seem high at the time, your are paying for it. But when you achieve success you will look back at the hard work and the sweat and say the price was well worth the results.

The price of success is focus and hard work . . . .  be willing to paid the price to enjoy success.

Listen Your Way to Success

Motivational Power Quote

Listen Your Way to Success

“Most of the successful people I’ve known are the ones who

do more listening than talking.”

Bernard M. Baruch 1870 - 1965, Wall Street Legend

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Listen your way to success.

Successful people are professional listeners and listen their way to success.

Successful people listen to the person that’s speaking with empathy until they know and understand the person better then the person understands them self.

Through their listening skills the professional knows their customers as a person and discovers their needs, wants and motivations.

Listening opens the doors for a professional to understand their customer’s and puts them into the position to better service the customers’ needs. That understanding creates a strategic business advantage for the professional in assisting the customer.

A professional listener uses their listening skills to understand and they speak to gather information.

The most successful negotiators are the most effective listeners. They listen their way to successful negotiations.

Professional listeners are professional communicators. 

The professional listeners use their listening skills to know their customers’ needs, wants and motivations and listens their way to success.

Be Prepared to Grasp Your Opportunities

Motivational Power Quote

Be Prepared to Grasp Your Opportunities

“I will study and prepare myself and one day,

my day will come.”

Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the US

As I see it. . . . . . . .


Be prepared to grasp your opportunities.


Our studying and preparation of today prepares us for our future opportunities.


The person that is best prepared will grasp the opportunity.


One of the worst things that can happen to us is being presented with an opportunity and not being prepared to grasp the opportunity and to see that opportunity slip away.


Continue to prepare yourself and your day will come. When that day comes you will be prepared to grasp and maximize the opportunity. You will move in the direct of success with confidence and achieve your desired results.


Preparation creates a strategic business and success advantage.
