Formula for Success - As your future unfolds

Now are you ready?
Because if you are expecting me to go on and on about how you can be successful in business you will be disappointed because I am not going to.

But what I am going to talk to you about is those people around you that do not want to see you succeed.

So if you are ready take a deep breath and here we go.......Lets be honest many of us have been jealous at some time in our life of other peoples achievements. What I want you to do is consider for a few moments is; who are those people in your life at the moment who want something for nothing? Or want to moan on and on about their lives but never do anything to change their situation! You know the people I'm talking about; the time stealers, the difficult people or customers we interact with everyday.

Remember that a sale is real only when the cash is in the bank. As your future unfolds you need to be clear about the kind of people you surround yourself with. And at the end of the day no matter what business you are in; cash and reputation is your top priority. Many of us forget this and give our time and energy away to people who sometimes do not deserve it. Remember people will keep taking if you keep giving it away free and I know I have been guilty of this, this year.

So on reflection I have made my decision not to work with 50% of the people I know, why? Because:
1. They do not see the bigger picture
2. They want something for nothing
3. They are not prepared to come out of their comfort zone
4. They are playing at being in business and not prepared to step up to the next level.

So the question is why am I telling you this? Its simple; do not go into a New Year carrying people you do not need to carry anymore. Realise that not everyone wants you to succeed in your new job, new life or new business.

So have a good look through your database or the contacts on your mobile phone and think who really does need to be with you in 2009. And remember what ever dilemma you face there is always a way out of it.

Success is not about being brilliant its about knowing what is important to you
