How to overcome FEAR! Of failure or success…..

jasonhyde — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 01:53:29 +0000

Stop focusing – even subconsciously – on yourself! How the hell do you do that? Focus on others. See if you can help someone else. Give someone – anyone an unsolicited compliment. Hold open a door. Smile at someone genuinely until they have to smile back at you.

Here is a quote from the Dalai Lama –

“I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace.”

There is a road.

I was having a bad day today. I’m one of those people who is typically up – happy – grateful. Just about always. But not today. Today for some reason I felt tired and overwhelmed and shitty.

So because I’m one of those people who is always up – I guess it’s pretty easy to tell if I’m not.

One of the guys at my work and I wound up talking about my lousy mood but we both agreed that no matter what – I just have to keep going and never ever ever stop trying and moving forward.

He said this to me. “So many times in my life I have come to the edge of a cliff – and it looked as if there was no more hope – but I always knew that there had to be a way – and I looked up – and there was a road.”……

So now I’m home to my support system and I also wound up getting a voice mail from just the right person.

There is a road.

Be a PROUD Salesperson

“Sell a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach a man how to fish, you ruin a wonderful business opportunity.”

Karl Marx

Be proud of what you do. Know that you truly CARE about what is in the best interest of your client or customer – because you can be sure that too many others just don’t.

Anyone would be and should be thrilled to buy from someone like you.

And remember the all people LOVE to buy – but they HATE to be sold…….

What do Grover and Yoda Have To Do With Sales?

jasonhyde — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 03:04:40 +0000

Nothing, but I think that Grover from Sesame Street and Yoda have the same voice.

There are NO coincidences.

I know I’m BEING successful because…

jasonhyde — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:44:52 +0000

I was listening to an interview with a Dean Jackson – a real estate sales coach and entrepreneur. He suggested that everyone have a list of all of the things that thier life would look like if they actually ACHIEVED the level of success they want. I think that the idea is that if we don’t define what success means to each of us individually, then we will always be chasing it and we will always feel as if we are not successful enough.

So I would like to compile a huge list of things.

Please feel free to add to it with your own thoughts to give ideas to the other reader – s.

” I know I am BEING successful because…..”
1. My passive income surpasses the expenses of my lifestyle.
2. I ENJOY time with my family every day. (not just be with them – but really be there and enjoy the time I am spending with them – not thinking about other things.)
3. I spend time exercising every day.

What else?????

Why There is No Time Like the Present to Make a Fortune

This article was written by Noel Peebles and I found it on a great website – Ezine.com

I really enjoyed it and I truly believe this.

We are living in “The Greatest Entrepreneurial Boom In History.” We are surrounded by opportunities, but most people do not recognize them. For example, there are far more opportunities in direct marketing and internet marketing today, especially for the small home-based entrepreneur, than I have ever known there to be in the past.

I will be so bold as to say – In 20 years from now people will look back and wish that they could have started a business, invested money, bought shares or property during the early years of the new century, when there were so many new opportunities.

Those really were “The Good Old Days”, and the exciting reality is… we are living in them. HERE! NOW!

People in the future will look back and envy what was truly, “The Golden Age Of Opportunity.” How fortunate we are to be HERE! NOW!

We have more choice of the things we buy, the food we eat, our lifestyles and our relationships. We have a longer life expectancy, thanks to breakthroughs in health care. Most of us are living in a land of equal opportunities with the freedom to express our opinions and do almost anything we want. We have the technology to travel and communicate with anyone, anywhere.

These days there are a greater variety of job options than ever before. New doors are constantly being opened with the dynamic growth in the service, information and technology sectors of this new global economy. There are so many new opportunities and new career options.

These are fast evolving times and we are experiencing the greatest technological boom since the invention of the motorcar, electricity and the telephone. We are all being affected in some way and not everyone likes it.

Lay-offs in big business have become a way of life. Companies are constantly undergoing restructuring of resources with mergers, takeovers, relocations and downsizing being the norm. Why is this happening?

With the development of technology, changes have generally become easier, quicker, and less costly than ever before.

These changing times bring opportunity especially for small business entrepreneurs. New opportunities for niche marketing, opportunities to work from your residence, opportunities to capitalize on the aging ‘baby boomer’ market, and opportunities to sell to a global market using the internet.

It is all happening HERE NOW in our lifetime!

CARE.

The past couple of conversations I’ve had with my Coach the topic of meditation has come up. Deep down I know that meditation would make for a happier existence, but I just haven’t done it.

I guess I just thought it needed to be some sort of ritual. Like I needed to be on a mat with some inscence burning and some cd of chanting playing. Well I was wrong. My coach suggested that I just stop every day and chill. Just stop. The deal is that all of the massive amount of thoughts banging around in my mind are all about the future or the past. So the idea is to just stop and fucus on my breathing. Stop and see if I can feel my heart beat. He even suggested that I get up early enough every once in a while and watch a sunrise and thank myself for taking the time. When I’m doing any of those things – I am NOT thinking about the future or the past. So I’ve been meditating and it’s been great.

Here’s the analogy I thought of. My mind is like a snow globe after it’s all shook up. All the flakes are my thoughts about too many truly pointless things. Meditation lets the flakes fall and it gives me time to just be.

Another way to look at Optimism vs. Pessimism

jasonhyde — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 01:29:43 +0000

My friend and soon to be co-worker Scott told me about a fantastic Bill Cosby story. It was about a philosophy class that Bill took in college where the very intellectual class was discussing the idea of weather the “glass was half-full or half-empty.” A full class was spent with this one discussion and it was set to continue during the next class because it was sooooo very important and they were soooo very intellegent.

Well Bill wouldn’t have to wait until the next class to find the answer to the question. The answer came when the smart young college man was caught having to discuss the question with his grandmother. The answer was actually really easy.

“Is the glass half full, or half empty?
It depends on whether you’re pouring, or drinking.”

Fantastic.

So are you ADDING value or TAKING value? Are you contributing or just criticising everything from the sidelines? Are you – pouring or drinking?
