I have the right!

It is not often that we get the opportunity to take the time out just to appreciate what we have achieved in our lives. Many of us can slip into an emotional rut , the trick is finding a way out.

I hope the following tips might help you think about your individual rights.

YOUR INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS

I have the right to decline responsibility for other peoples problems.
But is that unkind, selfish or uncaring? The trouble is that some people feel that everybody problems are their concern. Sometimes we need to stop and think why we take on board so many other problems and not deal with our own.

I have the right to ask for what I want.
Many people spend their lives going along with others and what other people tell them they want. We settle for things we do not want, for something that is not quite right, because we do not feel we have the right to protest. It is useful to remind yourself of what you want in life and not what others want for you.

I have a right to change my mind.
As you look more closely at decision making, you will see that you make some decisions for the wrong reasons. A wrong decision brings regret, and then we try to think of ways of getting out of the wrong decision.

I have the right to say that I don't understand.
I think we have all experienced this at some point in our life. We sit in a room filled with people and don't understand the main subject of the conversation, yet we choose not to say anything.

I have the right to be treated with respect as an intelligent capable and equal human being.
Self-respect and self-worth both mean the same thing - do you respect yourself? And if you do not, then look for the reasons why.

I have the right to express my feelings.
Assertiveness training is learning to recognise what you are feeling at the time. There are three aspects to expressing your feelings, recognising and identifying them, accepting rather than denying them, and then choosing to express them appropriately.

I have a right to express my opinions and values.
This means that you have the right to your own opinions even if they stand in disagreement with those of the majority. It is not a question of right or wrong, but differences in perception.

I have the right to say 'yes' or 'no' for myself.
Making a choice for yourself because you want something or do not want something becomes more difficult when you have other roles to fulfil.

I have the right to make mistakes.
If someone points out that we have made a mistake, we seem to think that we are stupid. So what if you have made a mistake, learn to shrug your shoulders and get on with it. Too many of us become defensive or go into a pit of despair.

I have the right to deal with others without being dependent on their approval.
This is what tends to hold so many people back from stating their needs, expressing their feelings, standing up for their rights and refusing what they really want. This is because they cannot tolerate the other persons anticipated disapproval. What will they think of me?

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

Have you ever been caught up in a trafic jam?

Have you ever been caught up in a traffic jam caused by drivers slowing down to view an accident?
Ghoulish isnt it but thats human nature.

Maybe were thankful for a split second that it isnt us but more of it is hoping to see a really bad accident that we can then discuss forever with anyone wholl listen.
I feel like that about this current financial scandal.
The papers are full of how bad it is, and if you are like this family or that family this is what you can expect. How ridiculous. Each family is unique and their situation has come about because of a unique set of decisions and events. Some they controlled and some they didnt.

But like any event that happens to us we do have choices. One of them is definitely how we deal with it. Speaking as one who has been dealt some unhelpful cards in my time, I refuse to define myself by the cards but my reaction to them. Which means that for me whats happening to my business is yet another defining challenge. I can sit there and say this isnt the time to be positive and go ahead with plans, and join in the general doom and gloom. Or I can roll my sleeves up and get stuck in to create the opportunities and move my business on.

Yes of course its a challenge. But thats why we are here.

Visions writer told me this story. A man was told that there were 1,000 buckets in front of him. In one of the buckets was a contract to do work he had been chasing.
What would you do in that situation?

I would be turning those buckets over as fast as I could move. And so would you.

So what is stopping you turning over the buckets in your business life?

Where will you be this time next year?

Where will you be this time next year?

Being brave and courageous but still sitting on the sofa talking to your friends on face book will not do you any good! When was the last time you pushed yourself to achieve a higher level? Or attended a seminar that challenged you to the core? And I do not mean something that simply inspired you. I mean one that changed YOU, your skills, knowledge and beliefs.

Too many of us are sitting on the sofa waiting for things that will never happen

However this was not the case for me on Monday. I was invited to be a dragon (No jokes and do not believe what Brendan says) at an Enterprise day for Schools based within the East Midlands at an Innovation Centre in Nottinghamshire.

It was amazing to witness the passion, commitment and focus the young people had. One young man; introduced himself and asked for a moment of my time. He quickly escorted me to his team mates, introduced them and then proceeded to give a full and accurate account of their roles and responsibilities within the team challenge.

My response was that if more managers knew what role their key staff played within the business, then the business would be far more successful.

How close are you to achieving your goals without realising it?

Have you ever sat and watched an insect hurling itself at a window and wondered why it doesn't move up six inches and fly out through the opening?

We've heard a lot about the spider in Robert Burns example, try, try and try again and I'm a great believer in persistence. There's the story also of the miners who were so close... like almost within a fingertip of the rich seam when they gave up.

It's true that many of us don't realise how close to success we are when we give up.

So giving up isn't what succeeding is about. But neither is hurling yourself at a closed window till your brain hurts and you're full of scars.

Sometimes you have to take a different course, change your route in order to get the insights you need. I've hurled myself at enough closed doors in the past and I don't do it any more. I refuse to give myself so much pain and grief.

What we need to understand is that our goals start inside our heads, and that's also where we create the circumstances to achieve them. Many people won't move on their goals until they know the how to do it. Until they have all the pieces of the jigsaw in place.

That's not the way it works. It works by us setting the goal and then moving towards it. I heard a great way of putting it recently. GOYA. Not the Spanish painter, but GET OFF YOUR? I'll leave you to finish the sentence.

Waiting till you have everything in place is the fastest, or maybe I mean the slowest way to paralyse yourself. Stopping you from doing anything.

I don't know what goals you have or how close you think you are to them. If nothing is happening with them right now maybe it's time to remember not the spider but the fly.

What will happen right now if you move your focus about your goal six inches? If where you are now is the result of what you've been thinking in the past them maybe you need to think differently.

Did you know that people generally lose focus on what they're doing between 6 and 10 times in a minute? What increase in efficiency and achievement will you gain if you can reduce that to 3 or even zero?

Try it - then let me know what happens. If nothing is moving at the moment then any shift has to be for the good.
