What’s Defining You?

Mistakes

In your business and personal life the steps we take after a mistake has happened will determine how successful we will be. It’s doesn’t matter the mistake or outcome. What matters is how we respond to the outcome. If we use it as a learning experience to take different actions in the future we will go a long way toward obtain the desired results.

Since everyone makes mistakes. Even to act of doing nothing can be a mistake. Some people believe that if they don’t try anything then they can make a mistake. That false thinking has cause more emotional and financial problems than just making a mistake and correcting it.

We are designed to make mistakes. Our total being is a complete make up of feed-back loops of continual course corrections. Just the act of picking up a pencil or a raw egg involves hundreds of minute adjustments of left/right, up/down, forward/backward and tight/loose.  If you attempt to do it more than once you will notice that each time you do it it’s done slightly different. Since each time is different does that mean that the other times were wrong? No. So stop defining yourself by how you did or didn’t do something “correctly”.

Focus more on what you can learn from it, correct and adjust for the next occurrence and keep moving….

Best Wishes on your Success!

Cut to the front of the line, by being the one giving to the line.

GivingBack

Many business owners believe that giving back is something big companies do as a public relations (PR) stunt just to bring a good image to a brand or company. The reality is the every business has something that they can give back to. It could be a local event or cause or national one. It really does matter. In my opinion everything starts locally, unless you are strictly an online business.

If you’re an individual entrepreneur giving back could mean mentoring, or providing free services or training. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination. Many individuals are only one donation, one volunteer, or one piece of information that could set them on the path to great success. The giving back doesn’t have to be a grand gesture. It just needs to be a gesture.

The bottom line is that everyone and every company has the ability to give back and give someone else a helping hand. The only reason some don’t is that they may feel they are at the back and they should be receiving. That type of mentality will take you to the back and keep you there. You can’t compete; forget about dominating if you believe in scarcity.

Wishing you Great Success

Fail At Doing Something Or Succeed At Doing Nothing.

Stand-and-fall

The easiest thing to do  is to do nothing. The hardest thing to live through is doing nothing. The common causes of doing nothing is fear. Other underline factors are pride and ego. If you remove pride and ego the fear will disappear at least reduce significantly.

If we would remember that we are made to make mistakes. That is how we learn. Sometimes this is called feedback loops. We determine an objective, we move towards it, and all along the way we are make adjustments until we reach our objective. Even the straightest of lines have jagged edges if you look close enough.

So stand! The view might be a little better. The more you stand the stronger you legs become to take you along the journey we call life.

Wishing you Great Success
