Is Profit King?

Hi there,

Just had a conversation with my other half over a morning cuppa
about banks and the profits they make. She was saying that their
sales targets for selling bogus products to their clients were
reprehensible.

I argued that selling per se was completely fine - it's when the
products or services being sold were of no real benefit to the client
that it becomes immoral.

Salespeople up and down the country have targets they need to meet
'or else' and some of those targets are unrealistic as no market can grow
ad infinitum. Therefore it's the manager's responsibility to investigate
new markets for when existing ones are saturated or depleted.

It became apparent as the conversation went on that profit really is King
as without it none of us has a job - it's when profit becomes an oppressive
dictator that we need to have an overhaul.

The defining factor is whether sales are being truly and authentically serving
with respect to the buyer. If the sale only really benefits the company selling
then mis-selling is taking place.

What do you think?

X Factor USA is an inspiration.

Hiya,

Yep, you read correctly. Watch the excellent audition by Chris Rene
and then consider if there's a decision or choice you could make today that could change your life.

Some of the people auditioning are delusional - no doubt.
Some are just wishful thinking.
All have courage.

Let's take from this one thing - each and every day we ALL have the opportunity to change our lives.
I for one tip my hat to those brave people going for their dream on this show and others like it.

The Purpose of Life

Hiya,

A moving, on-the-fly discussion of what life is really all about by Brendon Burchard.


After a participant suffered a seizure during one of Brendon's sold out seminars,
Brendon calmed the crowd (see "Miracle" video link below) and then discussed, on-the-fly,
his thoughts on life. While conducting the seminar, Brendon's father was fighting a losing battle against leukemia. These touching moments were sealed in the hearts of attendees forever.




Apologies you have to go to this link: http://www.brendonburchard.com/videos
and then scroll down to the video titled:
The Purpose of Life

as I couldn't get it embedded here.

It's well worth the 20 minutes.

Great Tony Robbins interview

Hiya,

Below is just about the most succinct video I've seen on getting in the zone to make a difference in your life. Tony Robbins, Frank Kern and John Reese discuss how to get people to implement. Implement change, implement a strategy, implement a business idea, implement a program for getting healthier, wealthier, happier.

It's about 30 minutes long but worth it.

Take the opportunity today to consider your death bed speech.

Hiya,

Sounds a bit morbid doesn’t it? It’s not supposed to be. Imagine for
a moment that you are on your death bed, not some day way off in
the future, but next week!

Your family and friends are gathered around the bed and you decide
to review your life. You thank them all for being loving friends and
family. You thank them for all the wonderful experiences they have
shared with you. You then consider if you have any regrets about
things you never got around to doing - 99% of us have them.
If you knew you were going to die within a few hours or days and
that those things would be left undone, unachieved - how would you
feel?

For me, I’d be pretty frustrated that I’d run out of time. I’d probably
lie there and ponder those missed opportunities and wonder why I
didn’t just get on and do them. Life is so short, I’d think, why didn’t
I just do them?

So that’s the point of today’s ponder - not to get morbid, but rather
to get motivated. Remember those things you keep saying you’d
love to do - then start planning them. Today!

Life IS too short.

Do you suffer from the 'Feelback' Loop?

Hiya,

Huh? 'Feel'back loop - what am I talking about?

We've all heard of a feedback loop - the cause creates the effect which creates the cause which creates the effect etc. etc.
Well maybe we experience something similar through our feelings.

If you've ever studied the Law of Attraction you might have become a little frustrated that whatever you tried to manifest never actually showed up.
Much of the wisdom that came out after The Secret spoke about the 'missing' part: Action.
That's right, The Law of Attraction requires ACTION.

However, me and my other half were talking whilst walking our dogs this morning and we concluded that how we feel about something will actually have the greatest impact on whether we'll take the required action in order to manifest it.

For instance, she wants a Volvo V50 Estate. (It'd be good to put the dogs in!) But suppose every time she sees one she gets the 'feeling' that they're too much money, she doesn't need such a big car, she's showing off, - pretty soon she might start feeling: I don't need that car, I'll never afford it anyway, it's too big to drive and I prefer my small car etc. etc.
Then that leads on to: maybe there's a smaller version or cheaper version. Her feelings about the car change her desire to guilt and a sense of shame and a lack of confidence to be able to afford or even drive such a car. This then diminishes the chance of her ever taking the suitable action to GET the car as she's now convinced herself she doesn't want it.

Hey, I'm not like that - I hear some of you shout. I definitely want the thing I'm after!!

I know, I know - the thing is it could all be happening subconsciously.

So, when you have any thoughts about the goals you have set yourself be very aware of the 'feelings' you have about them. Notice any doubts. Root around in the back of you mind a bit and remember - the best tool to getting what you want is to 'act as if' you already have it. Get excited about it. Encourage a sense of achievement that you've already attained it.

Good luck
