Hope Becomes The Seeds of Success

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

Risk Takers Go After Success With a Purpose


Motivational Power Quote

Risk Takers Go After Success With a Purpose
The future belongs to the risk takers, not the security
seekers. The more you seek security, the less of it you
will have and the more your pursue opportunity,
the more security you will achieve.”
Brian Tracy, Self-Help Author and Motivational Speaker

 
As I see it. . . . . . . .

Risk takers go after success with a purpose

Success is not found in the safety of your comfort zone. Success is achieved by those who have the courage to leave the safety of their comfort zone . . . . and to step into the uncertainty of the future to pursue their goals and dreams with passion.

The future belongs to the risk takers. Those who are willing . . . . to push the envelope and can imagine the unlimited potential their future holds for them.  The risk takers will go after success with a purpose and with passion.

A risk taker pushes their limits beyond what they have been is the past   . . . . and as they stretch their limits they will find themselves stepping into the opportunity zone.

It takes courage to step outside of your comfort zone . . . . and to take the risks required to succeed.

Have the courage to take that step into your future and you will step in the opportunity zone . . . . and the success that you desire will within your reach.

The future belongs to the risk takers . . . . and success will be found they those who are willing to take the risks.

Risk takers go after success with a purpose . . . .

Remain Committed To Your Dreams


Motivational Power Quote

Remain Committed To Your Dreams
Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your
approach. It’s the end your after.”
Anthony Robbins, Author and Personal
Performance Expert  


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

Remain committed to your dreams . . . . and in your decision to achieve them

Turn your dreams into a passion . . . . one that burns so brightly in your thoughts that it will light up the darkest of nights and pull you into the light.

Create the vision of yourself living your dreams in your mind until that vision becomes part of your being . . . . and you are living them.

Make the decision that you’re committed to make your dreams become a reality
. . . . and then pursue your dreams with passion and massive action. 

A mind can not distinguish between what is real . . . . and what is imaged. What you image and believe to be true the mind will see as true. Plant the seeds of you success in your mind . . . . and create the activities that will continually move you closer to your vision and your dreams.

Remain committed to your dreams . . . . and your decision to achieve them. But remain flexible in your approach in achieving your dreams and the desired outcome.

The Number One Element of a Sale is Emotion


Motivational Power Quote

The Number One Element of a Sale is Emotion
When dealing with people remember you are not dealing
with creatures of logic, but with creates of emotion.”
Dale Carnegie, author and self-help expert


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

The number one element of a sale is emotion

The overwhelming number one element in the purchasing process is the customer’s emotions.

The customer’s emotions will build into a ground swell. They will make the decision to purchase based on their emotions and later justify their decision with logic. 

The customer who decides not to purchase uses their negative emotions to justify their decision in not purchasing.

To successfully conclude a transaction you have to connect with the customer and appeal to their positive emotions to create the value and benefits in the product or services being purchased.

Where you fail to create positive emotions with the customer there will be no successful business or lasting professional relationship. Without the customers having an emotional attachment to the purchase they create a wall of resistances and not to go forward.

You will create more successful transactions by connecting the customer and creating positive emotions in the transaction.  At times there is a fear by the sales professional that by engaging the customer and creating positive emotions they will see you as being pushy. Customers want your help and assistance in the transaction and when you create positive emotions in the customer mind it helps them in their decision making to move forward.

More business is lost by not connecting and engaging the customer. If you’re not helping the customer to make the decision to purchase they will find someone that will.

The emotional element of a sale is the thin slice that creates the foundation of a successful transaction or creates a disconnection with the customer and the lost of a business opportunity, the lost of a sale or both.

Knowing When To Say No


Motivational Power Quote

Knowing When To Say No
Success depends on getting good at saying no without
feeling guilty. You cannot get ahead with your own goals if
your always saying yes to someone else’s projects.
You can only get ahead with your desired lifestyle if you
are focused on the things that will produce that lifestyle.”
Jack Canfield, Author and Success Coach  


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

Knowing when to say no

There are many demands on your time and you are continuously being pulled in many directions.  Some of the things that you’re being asked to do will help you in your career while other things are just the right thing to do. While other things that you’re asked to do will become distracters on your success journey and will not contribute to your success.

You have to know what to say yes to and when you have to say no.

When you’re asked to accept a task you have to ask yourself the following questions. Is it the best use of my time to undertake the task now? What is the positive impact on my life, my career and will it bring me closer to my goals? If the answer to the questions is yes then taking action will have positive an impact on achieving our goals? 

If the answer is yes it becomes a proactive activity that will assist you to continue to move closer to success, fulfilling your goals and dreams then you should strongly consider to doing the activity.

If the answer to the question is a no because  you can see yourself being distracted and you can see yourself being moved further away from your goals as a result of the activity then answer to the activity is no.  

Knowing when to say no is by itself an activity. It becomes an activity of controlling your life’s direction through your decisions and maximizing your activities to have a positive impact on your life and career and in achieving your goals.
