Having a Good Friend is Like . . . .

Having a Good Friend is Like  . . . .

“Having a good friend . . . . is like a warn fire on a cold night.”

Lou Ludwig, Sales and Management Consultant,

Success Coach, Speaker, Trainer and Author

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

Having a good friend is like

The stars . . . . the sparkle in the darkness of night.

They are there for you . . . . there will be times that you may not see them. But they are there when . . . . you need them.

Good friends seem to be around . . . . when you need them the most. They will know when to lend you a hand . . . . or offer their support.

Good friends a more precious then gold . . . . and they are irreplaceable.

Treat them as a precious resource . . . . and they will be there for you, but never forget to return the gesture.

Having a good friend is like . . . . the stars that shine down on you to light the way.

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.

Build People Up

 Build People Up

“Flatter me, and I may not believe you.

Criticize me, and I may not like you.

Ignore me, and I may not forgive you.

Encourage me, and I will not forget you.”

William Arthur Ward 1921 – 1994, Author

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

Build people up

When you encourage others you build their self-confidence . . . . and they will stretch themselves as a result of your encouragement.

Encouraging others cheers the person up . . . . and can make their day.

The people that you encourage will appreciate your kind actions . . . . and will not forget you for your kindness. 

                 

Encouraging others can change the course of a person’s life . . . . and put them on a path that they did not recognize as being available to them prior to the encouragement.

Build people up . . . . and they will support more weight on their success journey . . . . and help to support your success journey. Encourage others for maximum impact in their life.

Your Choices Are Building Blocks

Your Choices Are Building Blocks

“Each man has a choice in life; He may approach it

as a creator or critic, a lover or hater,

 a giver or a taker.”

 Author unknown

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

Your Choices are building blocks

Making the most of your choices and how you approach those choices will make all the differences in the outcome.

You are faced with choices every day, the decisions you make will determine the direction of your life. Make your choices count.

The creator in life will sees the opportunities . . . . and creates a positive internal message . . . . and energy to take advantage of all their opportunities.

The critic in life looks at the things around them as a skeptic . . . . and sees the negative. As a result they are burdened with a negative outlook and that outlook leads to negative outcomes.

Make the choices count be the creator . . . .

Lovers of life see themselves as extroverts . . . . they make friends easily and will see the good in people.  The lovers will become a magnet in forming long term relationships

They will also have a great deal of support from the people that they surround themselves with.

The hater in life lacks self-esteem as a result of their negative attitude. They will push people away from them . . . . and will not form lasting relationships. They are challenged to see the good in people or possibilities. With out an adjustment of attitude they will continue to get exactly what they are currently getting moving down a negative path in life.

Make the choice to be a lover of life . . . .   

A giver in life will give of themselves freely without the expectation of any personal rewards. A giver becomes a magnet for the law of attraction . . . .  in receiving without asking.

The taker in life relays on taking from others with or without their consent. As they continue to take they lose their self-reliance and they become dependent. 

Make the choice of being a giver in life . . . .

Your choices are the building blocks for life. Your choices accumulate and in those choices you make your life.  Make the most of each of your choices and you will make the most of your life.

Some People Will Support You . . . . Others Won’t

Motivational Power Quote

Some People Will Support You . . . . Others Won’t 

“People will exercise great effort and creativity to make our

plan work, and sometimes expend just as much effort

and creativity to make your plan fail.”

Bob Klas, CEO Tapemark  

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

Some people will support you . . . . other won’t

You have to find the right person . . . . the one that will support you in achieving your goals and dreams. They will become a special person in your life.  One that will help to grow your potential . . . . to become the person that we where meant to be.

Your special person will be there for you on the good days . . . . and they will be there to support you through the challenges that you encounter. The important thing is that they will be there for you.

As important as it is to have someone to support you on your success journey it’s equally important for you to know . . . . who you will have to avoid.

There are people that you will meet that their number one goal in life will be to distract you . . . . and to detail your success journey. They get personal satisfaction when they see people fail and they will do everything in their power to push a person into the direction of failure.

Pick your associations wisely and associate with the people that will booster you

. . . . and mentor you in the direction of success.

Success is a team sport and the people that you surround yourself with will play a major role on the direction that your life takes and the level of success you achieve.

Some people will support you . . . . others won’t . . . . find the people that will make a positive differences in your life. Treat them like gold because they are one of your most precious assets and resource to booster you on your success journey.

Behind a Successful Man There is a Good Woman

Motivational Power Quote

Behind a Successful Man There is a Good Woman 

“No man succeeds without a good woman behind him.

Wife or mother, if its both, he is twice blessed indeed.”

Harold Macmillan, former British Prime Minister 

 

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

Behind a successful man there is a good woman

That woman may be his mother wife . . . . grandmother, partner or a support person in their career.

A good woman is there for them . . . . and seems to understand what a man needs at that very moment. They will be there to offer words of encouragement . . . . they will offer a compassionate ear give a gentle nudge or a push when it’s needed. They seem to have an innate ability . . . . to understand and encourage the man when it’s needed.

A man may rise to great heights and in their climb there has been . . . . a good woman there with them. That woman is also there when their man’s life has a reversal and everything is unraveling. A good woman is there for their man in . . . . the best of times and the worst of times.

Behind every successful man there is a good woman . . . . that’s there for them and their support will make all the difference in a man’s life.

A good woman is behind a successful man and that man is a smart man . . . . when he understands how that the woman as impacted his life in many positive ways.

A man should be thankful for a good woman and show her the application she deserves.

For behind a successful man there is a good woman . . . .
