The Perfect Equation - Dynamic-Life Academy

Other than you, who is the enemy of your enemy?

Hmmmm, that's not something you have thought of much is it?

Think about it now.

Remember, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend"...or at least my temporary ally, united in a common cause ....

Like E=MC2...it's the perfect equation.

Sometimes these allies you don't know you have are actual physical people...and it is possible that they hate your enemy more than you do. It's logical. If you have an enemy then it's highly likely they are so odious that more people hate them than like them.

At other times these unexpected allies are psychological in nature.

Your enemies physical enemies. They are easy to spot because they are real. They are people he/ she has pissed off or else people that have pissed off him/ her. They are out to get your enemy, or at least your enemy thinks they are out to get them...perhaps because you make them think that!

Your enemies real and physical enemies can be incited against her (we shall call your enemy a her). This is known as the 'dog eat dog' ploy. This is analogous to throwing a single bone to a pair of starving hounds and is especially effective (and gratifying) when used to get one of your enemies to destroy the other, and hopefully destroying themselves in the process ;-).

The winner in such a fight will be weakened, and thus more susceptible to your attack.

You could play the double bluff and convince your enemy that the only way of defeating their real or imagined enemy is to join forces with you. This would allow you to create a whole catalogue of 'shadow enemies' to quixotically tilt against them, expending their limited resources, resources that are no longer at their disposal when they attempt to defend against your attack.

You gain an alliance by exaggerating the potential and plottings of her real - and imagined - enemies.  If she remains unresponsive to your 'peace' overtures, join her real enemies.  If possible, secretely.
 
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Your enemies psychological enemies. Psychological enemies are a little harder to spot. They are 'in her head', whether inherited strands of worry and phantoms of paranoia she has dragged behind her since childhood. Or they will be the entangled vines of doubt and disappointment you adeptly, adroitly, and rightly, plant in her mind thru your ability.

Unlike actual physical enemies, these psychological enemies are less tangible, and often impossible to get a grip on. What's good for your enemy is usually bad for you. on the flip side, what's bad for your enemy is bound to be good, or of advantage, for you.

Psychological disturbances are like frustration, irrational fears, and debilitating stress.  Although these are your enemy, are also your enemies enemy. Discovering that your enemy is plagued by one of these psychological enemies will not only give you insight into their thinking processes and beliefs, but will provide you with avenues for direct or oblique attack.

The enemy of my enemy really is my friend!

Message from Dave - Dynamic-Life Academy

I firmly believe that Human Beings have unlimited potential. We all have inner ability that will remain dormant throughout our lives unless we tap into it. I believe that a Human Potential Technology program can free the mind, the spirit and the body. I do not buy into the belief that we only use a third of our brains. I believe we use all of our brains, but only parts of the brain at any one time.

We are a collection of beings that can evolve, or progress, or remain stagnant. It is our choice but sometimes a person comes along who shakes you up, makes you think differently, scares you, antagonises you, compels you to take on board their ideas and thoughts. There is a deep paradox or contradiction in getting people to take action. It is hard-wired into the brain over millions of years evolution and each one of us has a collection of moments building on one another and gaining momentum can be difficult.

The basic tenet of every computer game is:
'You will be killed if you stand still'

It’s the same with life, and business.

It is my goal to make a constant, forward moving, powerful change in myself and in the world around me by pushing beyond limits set by other people who believe they know best. I choose to live in a world, a belief, where ANYTHING is possible. Anyone who tells me that something cannot be done is really telling me they don’t know how to do that something.

As a student of Iconoclastic thought I am amazed at how often I am told something can not be done when I have been doing it for ages. I live an abnormal life in an outstanding world and my beliefs sit way outside of social norms. I see normality of thought and action, of rules and ‘we always do things like this’ as limits, perimeter fences, which must be removed. I seek to transcend the commonality and the norm.

I am a pioneer of 21st Century thought. I believe that by controlling our ‘Inner Game’ we influence and change the reality around us. I do not tread a safe path but I only see failure as feedback. I do not buy into ‘try, try, try again’. I do, or do not. There is no try! I have no agenda, I come from no angle or direction. I flow like water.

I believe that the Human Potential Technology system I use is the best. It will change and it will grow. It is a collection of the state of the art techniques from NLP, Hypnosis, Persuasion, Inner Game, Seduction and Influence.

I have no way, as way. I have no limitation as limitation. I am your first, your last, and your only source of Human Potential Technology. I push the boundaries, limitations and expand the comfort circle of everyone that works for, or with, The Moore Consortium and the Dynamic-Life Academy.

The Sales Course

Selling!  What an honourable profession!

Everyone sells. Some, though, are better at it than others.

That can be changed. Wherever you may be reading this, be it at home or in the office, look around you. That desk, that lamp, that sofa, chair, carpet, TV, computer etc. NONE of it would be there if someone hadn’t sold it to someone else.You may have decided to buy some of those things yourself but someone sold it to you at some point. You may even have sold it to yourself!

There is no escaping it. Selling is a profession, an art, and a way of life. Be it a car, washing machine or cable TV. Someone needs it! Someone sells it to someone else.

Everyone wants something but they don’t know what they want, how to get it, why they want it or what to do with it when they’ve got it.

Knocking on doors and cold calling over the telephone are difficult jobs, thankfully. If it was easy: everyone would be doing it. Salespeople see difficulties as opportunities.

Presentations differ. What works for one may not work for another. Opening statements come in all shapes and sizes. In this instance: size matters! The ones that are short, sharp and punchy and contain the minimum amount of information and pricing are the best.

In todays environment, using old sales training methods will leave you dead in the water. It is not a case of buyer beware but one of Seller AWARE! Know your product, know your customer.Our courses are structured from over twenty years of experience and are tailored to suit your specific requirements. Far too many companies have 'set' seminars that you have to pick relevant information and techniques out of...we don't...our courses are bespoke.

WHERE IMAGINATION AND REALITY COMBINE AND TAKE FLIGHT



Do you ever find yourself in ‘two minds’ about something you want to do or have you had ‘half a mind’ to change?


Have you ever been able to ‘get something intellectually’ and found yourself unable to actually ‘do it’ in the real world?

Have you ever felt that some part of you was fighting yourself, or had one area of life where you kept repeating the same mistake? Have you ever been with a certain type of person that you just couldn’t seem to reach or influence, no matter what method and technique you tried?

If you have answered ‘yes’ to any or all of those questions, then you have staggeringly good luck.

The Dynamic-Life Academy is presenting a  HUMAN POTENTIAL TECHNOLOGY program.  It is a collection of astounding, jaw-droppingly effective yet elegant methodology that resolves every single one of these issues.

Even greater news is that you can learn to apply them in minutes. Discover more about this and other secrets…like, How people really work.

Dynamic- Life Academy Taster

Have you ever read a blogpost and wondered what it was about and then, for whatever mysterious reason, you started to think differently and realise that this is one of the most relevant blogposts to you? I find that when I, think about the other possibilities these teachings will give you, and you open your mind, to me, its as if this is going to help take you to the next stage.

I am an NLP trainer. That’s what I do. I teach people how to sell, how to Firewalk, Glasswalk and smash wood Karate style. I also teach people how to communicate effectively. I have done this all over the world. In all that time I see a common thread throughout all of those seminars. The successful people are the ones who study, listen, learn and then go out and do it. The Mega-Successful are the ones who do it without thinking about it. It has become part of them, its second nature. That's because they do it on a consistent basis.

Selling is the oldest profession there is. Some say prostitution is the oldest but even that is someone selling themselves to someone else. Wherever you are reading this, if you are at work, in an Internet café or at home, look around you. Apart from nature, everything you see was sold to someone by someone else. If you have skill in selling you can sell yourself and that’s what we do with the opposite sex. We put ourselves in the market and we make ourselves a hot commodity. We have all the tools we need within us.

I run workshops and seminars on a number of subjects and all the time I hear of ‘rejection’ and ‘objection’. These are related, you reject because you object and vica versa. In a sale, in a pick up, if they object, what do you do? I spent years looking at and learning different ways to counter objections, what to say when they say...etc. These were really good but they didn’t work well in the real world and then I had what is known as a BGO. A Blinding Glimpse of the Obvious.

Objections are state related. I hear people like Richard Bandler and Ross Jeffries saying the same thing. If you don’t like the answer, change the state! The objection is now over there, they can’t cling onto it. The point I am making is that in the teaching of all of these tools and techniques you have to take them on and make them second nature.

The basic facts of approaching anyone, be it conversation or to sell them something (yourself?) are:

• Never take the first response as being something written in stone.
• Anything they offer is a toy for me to play with. Like Jeet Kune Do.
• They can say and do what they want; I control where my energy goes.
• Anything they offer is information I can use.
• 90% of people are running on autopilot 90% of the time.
• Never attach excessive meaning. Nothing has any meaning except the meaning you give it
• Never think by your own agenda. Don’t bait your hook with food you like.

That is the 7-step rule that will allow you to walk through the world getting the best of anything you want. Do not make the mistake that these tips are exclusively for sales. You can use them on anyone to get anything. You will have the tools and techniques at hand and you can call on them without thinking. Once you have the techniques, don’t stress about them. Don’t even attempt to remember them. Just use them. It’s like a new language. After a while you think in two ways.

We have 2 brains. We have 2 different kinds of intelligence; rational and emotional. When we cannot decide we say we are ‘in 2 minds’. The techniques you are learning form a part of your EQ. That’s your Emotional Intelligence. Your EQ is more important than your IQ. The IQ test may help you get a job but your personal EQ will help you keep it. A high IQ is around 135. Many people with IQ’s of 135 and above work for people with IQ’s of 100 or less. Why? Because the person with the high EQ, the one who knows how to relate to other people, talk to other people and interact with other people in a manner they like, is always going to be way ahead of the game and have people following him, more so than the guy who knows how long it will take for two men to fill a bath up with water in the dark at 22,000ft. Because they interact naturally and in a manner that is second nature.

I always, now, describe the techniques, tools, patterns, closes, etc as a raft. A raft is very handy if you want to get from one side of a river to another. You may want to get from the unsuccessful side of the river to the side where infinite power and success are available. But once you have reached the other side, you no longer need the raft itself. In fact, if you want to grow, and continue your journey, you have to leave the raft behind. The challenge that we have, as humans, is that we tend to fall in love with the raft.

We start to think, “This raft has been good. It’s a useful raft. It’s served me well. This raft is tip top!”

But if we hang on to the raft, or the teachings, they will become a hindrance. No words, anyone’s, can help you more than you. You must do that yourself.

The trick is this. By integrating the raft, or what we took on board while on the journey, into our being and into our unconsciousness it becomes second nature and we see opportunity, we hear opportunity and we create opportunity all around us. Being awake to openings, opportunity and life is the best way to be. Your energy level is high, your awareness is at peak level and your state is at a higher level. You become a magnet for opportunity. It seeks you out. And once you become one with the teachings, you will always be ready.

Each of us has a success blueprint already embedded in our unconscious mind. This blueprint, more than any one other thing, will determine your destiny.

We live in a world of duality: up and down, light and dark, hot and cold, in and out, fast and slow, left and right. These are a few examples of the thousands of opposite poles. For one pole to exist, the other pole must also exist. You cannot believe in God without believing in the devil, and vice versa.

Consequently, just as there are outer laws for living, there must be inner laws. The outer laws include things like knowledge, Skill, state management and belief strategies. These are essential. But the inner game is just as important.

Having top quality tools is imperative to a carpenter but he must be able to use those tools in a masterful fashion.

It’s not enough to be in the right place at the right time. You have to create the right time AND be the right person in that right place at the right time.

So who are you? How do you think? What are your beliefs? What are your habits and traits? How do you really feel about yourself? How confident are you in yourself? How well do you relate to others? How much do you trust others? How do you rate your ability? How do you rate your ability to act in spite of fear, worry, inconvenience and discomfort?

Can you act or function at your highest level even when you are not in the mood?

The bottom line is that your character, your thinking, and your beliefs are a critical part of what determines the level of your success and how your blueprint pans out...

Stuart Wilde puts it this way: "The key to success in anything is to raise your own energy; when you do, people will naturally be attracted to you. And when they show up, bill them!" For ‘bill them’ substitute with ‘sell them’.

Most people do not reach their full potential. Most people are not successful in what they choose to do.

Research shows that 80% of individuals will never be free in the way they would like to be.80% of people will never claim to be truly happy.

The reason is simple. Most people are on autopilot. They are unconscious at the wheel. They work, think and behave on a superficial level of life – based on what they can see. They live in the visible world.

Imagine a tree. Let’s suppose that this tree represents the tree of Selling. On this tree are fruits. In life, our fruits are called our results. So we look at the fruits (our results) and we don't like them; there aren’t enough, and they are too small, or they don't taste good.

What do we tend to do? Most people put more attention and focus on the fruit, the results. They will clean the fruit, spray the fruit and nurture the fruit.

But what is it that actually creates those particular fruits? It's the seeds and the roots that create the fruit.

It’s what's underground that creates what's above ground.

It’s what's invisible that creates the visible.

So what does that mean?

It means if you want to change the fruits, you have to change the roots. If you want to change the visible, you must first change the invisible.

In my experience, what you cannot see in this world is far more powerful than anything you can see.

Try electricity. You can’t see it, but you can see its effect when you turn on a light. How do you know electricity exists? Because of the light? Put your finger in the socket and test if it really exists. I guarantee your doubts will disappear.

You may not agree with the statement about what you can’t see being more powerful than what you can see but you will suffer if you don't apply this principle.

Why?

The law of nature determines that what's underground creates what's above ground. As humans, we are a part of nature, not above it. Consequently, when we align with the law and work on the roots – our inner game – our life flows smoothly and we are a magnet to opportunity. We bear fresh fruit.

We do not work or exist on just one plane of existence. We work in four.

Physical – Mental – Emotional – Spiritual

Most people never ever realise that the physical realm, what we call reality, is only a printout of the other three.

Let’s suppose you have written a letter. You hit print and out it comes. Whoops...typo! You hit delete on the pc and press print again. Out comes the letter with the same typo.Whoa! I just deleted that. You now study the six hundred page manual called effective deleting. You now have the tools and the knowledge you need. You hit delete. You hit print. You look. Shit! The typo is still there.The real problem cannot be changed in the printout, the physical world; it can only be changed in the program, the mental, emotional and spiritual world.

Whatever results you are getting, be they great or bad, positive or negative, always remember that your outer world is a reflection of your inner world. If things are not going well in your outer game, it’s because things are not going well in you inner game.

It’s that simple.

What you hear, you remember; what you see, you remember; what you do, you understand. Forget the magic bullets, potions, punches and pills you seek. You are just victim of Loch Ness Monster disease.

‘I have heard of this (pitch, pattern, command) but no one has seen it or heard it. It's a great (pitch, pattern, command) which, if you say it, you get everything you want. If I could get hold of that I would make it'.

"Can you teach me that magic punch because I could beat Bruce Lee/ Mike Tyson etc blah blah?"

Wrong. I can teach you that magic punch but unless I teach you how to box or how to do Kung Fu your would be on the floor before you landed it.

Once you sort out your inner game and realise that you control your energy, your state and your focus then you will get what you want. You will have your cake and you will eat it. What is the use of having cake if you can’t eat it anyway? What are you supposed to do with it? Put it on the mantelpiece and look at it?

There is a major difference between rich people, wealthy people and poor people just as there is between Dynamic-Life people, auto pilots and AFC's...(Average Frustrated Chumps)

Dynamic-Life people believe `I can have my cake and eat it'.
Auto pilot people believe `Cake is too rich, so I will only have a little piece'
AFC's don't believe they deserve cake, so they order a donut, focus on the hole and wonder why they have nothing.

If you want to step up to the Dynamic-Life Academy challenge....stay tuned.....

Belief Systems

Your belief is conditioned by your perception of the world around you.

That perception is from information that your brain filters through from the world and presents to you in a form you can understand. Filters do exactly what they say they do. They filter. The brain obeys the filters it imposes and this, in turn, constructs the reality around you.

Your perception of the world is put together by the information the filters allow.

Let’s have an example of this.

How many times have you lost your keys? You’ve put them down somewhere but where are they?  You have no idea. So you go on the usual well tried route around the house. Search and find. Hallway, kitchen, dining room, bathroom, bedroom, lounge. Nothing!

What do you do next? You go on the same route but with more energy! Again, still no joy. Nothing! They have disappeared. In comes your partner, or flatmate.

“What are you doing?” they ask.

“I’ve lost my keys,” you tell them, “Where have you put them?”

(Apportioning blame seems to make some people feel better!)

Why is it, after you have told someone you have lost something, that they can look in a place you have checked three times and find what it was you were looking for?

It’s because their mind is tuned in to finding rather than losing.

You, on the other hand, say to yourself: “I’ve lost my keys, I’ve lost my keys!” and embark upon this manic search.

You could walk past the table your keys are lying on and your eyes say to you, “They’re on the table.” You say to yourself, “I’ve lost my keys.” Your brain says, “Ok then, you’re the boss!” and goes with you, not your eyes.

It refuses the information your eyes give it.

You go on the circuit. No joy! You go on the circuit again and, as you pass the table with your keys, your eyes say, “On the table, on the table!” but you ignore it, believing that your keys are lost.

The process is: key’s -eyes - eyes - brain. In the brain is the Reticular Activating System. This decides what is comes in and what stays out. Your eyes spot the keys and tells your Brain but the RAS says, “Ssshh! The keys are lost!” This is your filter.

Think about when you buy a car. Say for instance you decide to buy a brand new Arctic Silver Range Rover Sport series. And why not? What happens when you start to drive around in it? What do you see in front of you, in your rear view mirror and coming the other way? Range Rover Sports! Everywhere. They are all over the place.

Now you have got one, your mind says, “Look over there, there’s one. Look, there’s another!” Now you have one, your mind starts to filter in the information. Before you bought one you were under the impression that there weren’t many around so your brain believed it. Now you have one, your mind is open for information and here it is!

Belief is a make or break. It can shape your destiny or destroy it. Belief in yourself is the most important factor in the make up of success. Belief in what you do is the overriding factor in whether or not you are successful. Strength of mind and purpose is the main ingredient in your battle with the odds. If the odds are stacked against you, belief is the one thing that will carry you through.

Amazing

Well, you don't expect to see something like this when driving through snow on a motorway!!

ACTIVATE

You are a person of action.

You assess a situation and based on your knowledge and experience.

You act.
You dare.
You risk.

If you make mistakes. You re-evaluate. You act again.

Your training has given you confidence.

This is simple enough. Because the status quo is often comfortable and safe, many people look for guarantees before taking independent action. They want assurances from others that all outcomes will be favourable.

Yet, in seeking assurances, they frequently receive cautions. These cautions can easily be used as excuses for inaction. Those who love you the most may be the loudest in warning you not to risk failure.


If you always follow the crowd, you will always end up where the crowd ends up.

If you do what others do you will only get the results they get!

Make a personal decision to do what it will take to succeed. The success principles we teach at The Moore Consortium are known to many but lived by few.

Most people know what they should be doing but lack either the will or the self-confidence to train or start a business, or make an investment or establish a friendship.

This is not the independent you.

Most people are so afraid of failing that they concentrate all their efforts on that; not failing. And so they never really succeed.

They only survive.

It is only through ‘failure’ that true success can be gained.

In truth there is no failure, you only discover a way not to do something.

As the NLP rule states, "There is no failure, only feedback".

Look at Thomas Edison, one of the inventors of the 20th century. When he invented the electric light bulb he used over 2000 different materials for the filament until he discovered a combination that worked.

Years later when he was being interviewed a reporter asked him "When you tried for the 2000th time to build a coil for your light bulb, and it failed, didn't you feel disheartened, didn't you feel like giving up?"

He replied, "Not at all.  I didn't fail.  I discovered 2000 ways not to make a light bulb but I got closer to one way that would. So every failure, as you put it, was in fact a success!"

Get the point?

Exception

You are the exception.

You are willing to work harder and be more generous than you have to be.

You will exhibit character, vision, passion, enthusiasm and patience.

You will be ready to inspire and lead. You will accept responsibility. You will maintain the highest standards as you set the rules.

You will be consistent.

You will have a clear vision of your mission. You will encourage teamwork and the formation of strong alliances. You will set the example. You operate at the Jedi level.

In dress, speech, demeanour and attitude, you show the way to your colleagues. Your values and ideals have been deeply considered. You guide yourself and others toward excellence, not perfection. You are always open to new ideas, suggestions and offers of assistance. You must never ask or expect others to do what you would not do. You will believe in your clients and colleagues and they will reward you with their support.


Never forget, it’s your life. You are the captain of your ship and this is your journey.

Many people feel that they have no control over their own lives. Remind them constantly that this is NOT true. Once we all understand that we are responsible for all out comes, good and bad (if there is such a thing!) then we understand why these outcomes occur. From then on we are able to direct our lives as we see fit.

Ab-Normal

Now this is a very important ‘thing’ to grasp.

How many ‘normal’ people mix with their ‘normal' friends?

When they go on holiday they go on their ‘normal' package deals to the usual 'normal' places. Year-in year-out.

They have their 'normal' mortgage, and they pay into their 'normal' pension fund all of their 'normal' working life.

Then they retire at the 'normal' retirement age.

Suddenly they’re 90, they are dying and they look back on their very 'normal' lives. Now at that moment in their time ‘normal’ becomes boring.

Boring becomes a waste of time. Their life becomes a waste of time. And they wish they hadn't been so ‘normal’. You’re going to die anyway. So you may as well make your life as exciting as possible. When you have free time use it well.
I do not advocate a normal life.

I advocate an AB-NORMAL life.

Something to be proud of and something others point at!

Don’t veg-out in front of the TV.
Go somewhere different.
Do something different.
Something exciting.
Talk to “mad” people, say “mad” things, do “mad” things…after all, as far as we know, you only live once.

Unless you happen to be James Bond in which case you only live twice!

But that is down to good scriptwriters. You write your own script!!

Living in The Matrix

I watched the Matrix the other night. I remember the first time I saw it at the cinema. It was one of the most thought provoking films I have seen. I liked the primary message of the movie. People get into deep trouble when they mistake what they perceive for reality.

Not many people realised that prior to the release of the movie, intelligence agencies were already using the term 'The Matrix' to describe the world.

In the movie, The Matrix is a very elaborate AI computer program that people believe is reality. Thier life force is harnessed to power the Matrix while their physical bodies are in pods. They believe that they are interacting in a real world.

Neo discovers the truth of the Matrix through the teaching of Morpheus. He can overcome the belief that the Matrix is reality. He rebels against the program that created the false reality and escapes the limits of the Matrix. Others believe that he has developed some form of superhuman ability but, in his own reality, he has recognised the truth of what is happening.

Escaping the Matrix is a metaphor for the mystic path to enlightenment.

The Matrix can be defined as the world that we perceive, which includes the physical world, as well as higher planes of emotions and thoughts, which also affect us.

The reality we perceive with our senses is not the true reality, but merely a small portion of reality, masquerading as the whole. But, unlike the "alternate reality" that Neo must extricate himself from, in our "reality," there is no need to rebel. Rather, our goal should be to transcend. We want to "be in this world, but not of it."

The outer world is a reflection of our inner thoughts and beliefs, whether individual or collective, which have been conditioned by our experience in the Matrix. Consequently, the Matrix is a learning environment, where we get feedback on how our thoughts manifest. Thankfully, our negative thoughts do not (typically) manifest instantaneously. Otherwise, we would risk the spontaneous destruction of our world by thinking negative thoughts.

Anyone who blindly accepts these prevalent, negative thoughts will have his or her life path dictated by the Matrix. But those who recognize that it is our collective thoughts and beliefs that power the Matrix will recognize the way out.

Time Distortion

Imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning with £86,400.

Wow, how great would that be?

But, it carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day.

What would you do? Draw out every penny of course!


Well...

Each of us has a bank. Its name is: TIME

Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds.

Every night it writes off as lost whatever you have failed to invest to a good purpose, idea or endeavour.

It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft. It allows no loan.

Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night, at midnight, it burns the remains of the day.

If you fail to use the day’s deposits, the loss is yours. There is no drawing against tomorrow.

You must live in the present on today’s balance and deposits. Invest it wisely so that you get the maximum return on your investment in health, happiness, business, relationships and success.

The clock is ticking...make the most of today!

TARGETS

Will it be you who will shape your life, or will you let circumstance shape your life for you?


Many people live day to day without a real sense of purpose. They know that they want more out of life, but they can’t seem to put a finger on exactly what it is. They believe their fate is due to a lack of career, money or the freedom to do what they want, how they want.

Actually, what they may be longing for is a purpose in life, a mission and a target to aim for.

In a football match, neither side would win if they didn't have goal posts to aim at!

Look at any other sport.  It wouldn't be much of a competition if there were no targets at the archery event.

When you have a mission, you have a core passion that gives you vision. With this vision you are able to move gracefully through your goals.

You are able to embrace each task with joy, knowing that when completed, you are one step closer to completing your mission.

This helps you stay focused until the task is done. It also makes you feel valued, worthy and respectable. You manage to keep your head up and others notice you.

So what is your mission?

Respect your life enough to pursue a meaningful mission.
Respect yourself enough to give yourself a set goal.
Write your goals down.
Visualize the attainment of your goals often.

Goals are dreams with deadlines attached.

Commit yourself by sharing your goals with others. Every day, you're one day closer. You will only become as great as the goals you choose.

Decide today where you will end up. Think BIG.

How can you reach for a star if you’re not sure which star you want to grab?

Have you GOT a target?  Are you just drifting and grateful for whatever happens?  That is no way to go through life.

Lets go back on Archery.  Have you ever heard of Howard Hill?

That's him on the left of the picture teaching Errol Flynn how to use a long bow for Robin Hood.
Howard Hill was the greatest archer the world had ever seen.  He was the first man to kill a great white shark with a bow and arrow.  He could hit ANYTHING.  He was the guy who first hit the bullseye with one arrow and then split that first arrow with his second shot.

He could hit the bullseye on more consecutive occasions than anyone else alive!

Yet here's the thing.  I can get you to hit the target more often than Howard Hill, at his very best!

How?

Well, I would have to blindfold him, and spin him around until he was dizzy first.

Yeah, "that's cheating" you say, and you are right.  How could he possibly hit a target he couldn't see?

Tell me, How can YOU hit a target IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE?

Got it? ;-)

Love What You Do

There are many different styles of painting.  Choose one that you love.

There are many different types of music to listen to or to play.  Choose one that you love.

There are many martial arts styles from which to choose. Choose one that you love.

Each of the arts properly practised should lead you to a more productive and stress-free life.

There are 5,000 different types of occupations. Choose one that you love.

(Psst!  Here's a bombshell...People have been successful at all of them.)

They are your models. You can do the same.

If you Do what you Love and Love what you Do it will never be work.  It will never be 'a job'.

When you watch people who love what they do you will see that they 'work' with a smile on their face and a song in their heart. They move with grace and ease.

They attend carefully and lovingly to every detail. They never tire of what they do. They do it willingly and with joy and excitement.

They talk about what they do with passion, they read about it, they keep up on the latest trends, they teach it to newcomers and converts.  They talk about it to everyone!

When you love your work, it's like a love affair. You do it with a passion. You want to do it all the time, in as many ways as possible.

Wherever you go, whomever you're with, you want to do what you love because it feels so good.

When doing anything you have a choice as to how you feel when you are doing it. You can dislike what you do, or you can love what you do.

Every action, chore and task can teach you something, even washing the dishes! And for this reason alone everything should be approached with love in your heart.

Ultimately, if something needs doing then you may as well feel good about doing it.

Do what you Love, Love what you do, and do it with a passion.

Energy Vampires

Well, I doubt if anyone would say no to a REAL Vampire if it was Kate Beckinsale in Underworld but...


You have only one life to live.

You want to be happy and to make your life meaningful.

You haven't got time to waste associating with negative people (or Energy Vampires) They will drain your energy and when they find a willing or captive audience, just like a real Vampire (real vampire?) they won't let it go once they have their teeth in you.

Negative people may have justifiable concerns but too often they get over involved in minor matters and imaginary transgressions.

Negative people may be envious of your ability to succeed (you know who you are!!!).

They may feel guilty knowing that they aren't willing to pay the price that success asks.

Negative people are usually negative because they have given dominion to their happiness to others, often many others.

It's the boss, the neighbours, the kids, the politicians, and the police.
It's money.
It's the bills.

Be polite and encouraging to negative people. Listen to their complaints or stories but only once.

Give them a copy of this post. It may help. Chances are they will hate it. If their 'problems' are serious enough, guide them to professional help.

Don't judge. Empathise with them but avoid being drawn into their web of unhappiness.

Help those you can while realising that you can't help or save everyone. You can open your heart, be compassionate and still be strong enough to walk away.

You can say no.

Everyone has 'problems' but not everyone allows those things to rule them. You can offer a temporary safe haven without it becoming a permanent home. An Energy Vampire, or Mood Hoover, will suck the life, joy and energy out of any situation and leave it as dry as a desert.

They will infect everyone...negativity is contagious.  Remember that!

You do not have to sacrifice your life to the issues of another.

But what about you?

Are you negative sometimes? When you are let down, or disapointed, or passed over for promotion or being told 'I don't think we should see each other again'. So? What are YOU going to do about that.

Take a case in point.

Remember back to the first time that you had your heart broken, the very first time! Remember how bad you felt, remember the pain and the anger. At the time you really believed that it was the end of the world.

You thought that you would never love any one as you loved that person. You thought that you would never be able to love again.

And you were wrong.

Two weeks later you’re back out there on the prowl. How many ‘loves’ have you had since then?

Two, three, five or more?
Now if you’d hung on to the past, if you’d only focused on the pain and sorrow, you’d still be a sad, miserable bastard with no friends and one massive forearm.

But you didn't, you let go, and put the past behind you.

And that is what you need to do in every situation.

Focus on the positive aspects not the negative.

We will all make mistakes; we will all still get a broken heart from time to time. But it’s the here and now that we must focus on not the past, and not what may happen in the future.

Everyone gets knocked down at some point...but only the STRONG ones get up!

Print is Best

Sometimes books live up to their names and
do just what they were meant to do!

I take it no one has a challenge with reading?

If you do then this is a bit pointless for you isn't it!

They say that people who don’t read are almost as clever as the people who can’t.

In the days of fast food, fast cars and fast living we can sometimes lose track of the simple things, and what they can teach us.

Books are a wonderful form of learning, and they've been around for.....quite a while. Reading above all else can be done anywhere, apart from when you are driving!

It can help you relax but most importantly when you read you are forced to use your imagination. And your imagination is one of the most powerful things you own, but sadly its something most people don’t exercise.

So go on pick up a book and start exercising. Remember the old saying ‘what you don’t know, won’t hurt you’?

They were wrong.

Look at it this way: ‘what you do know, may save you’.

A lot of people don’t realise that when Buddha said, “ignorance is bliss” – he was being sarcastic.

If you don't know what to read you could do a lot worse than read Biographies.

In fact, a biography about a person you admire, like, respect or aspire to be is a great starting point.

What if you could learn the success secrets of the greatest people who ever lived?

You can.

The lives of the famous and the infamous have been duly recorded in biographies and autobiographies and are ready for you to read and research. You only have to take the action to go to the library or the bookstores. Go online and download one to your computer or Kindle.

Personally, I prefer a real book but hey, whatever flicks your switch!

The lives of great thinkers, businesspeople and humanitarians are there.

You will read about successes and triumphs.

You will also learn how many times champions lose on their way to winning.
You will also find out how many times a war or battle was fought before they won it!

In reading biographies, you may come to the startling conclusion of how much greatness you possess.

You may conclude: "Hey, I can do that". You can decide to make your one life significant. Biographies help show you the way.

And that great NLP law comes into play...you will think, "Hmmm, if they could do that....so can I!"

The Golden Age

It's about time!

The Routemaster is back on the streets of London!

This is such an iconic feature and image of london it was scandalous that they disappeared off of the streets in 2005 but now they are back!

The amount of times I jumped on and off of these in the past, went home in the early hours on...so easy to jump on and off, especially when they are pulling away from the bus stop. Run after them and jump on! Magic!

Sometimes, the past has to come back into the present.
Sometimes there is something in the past that should not be left there.
The routmaster bus is one of those things.

Now, I have a bus to run after ;-)

Unless I dust off the MiniMoke:

TEAM TACTICS

Together
Everyone
Achieves
More

In building your winning team don't be afraid to pick people who are stronger, faster, smarter, better organized, braver, more ambitious, funnier or more pleasant than you are.

Ask your best people for recommendations. Always opt for quality.

Remember to delegate.  Giving people tasks gives them a purpose.  When they have a purpose they become responsible.  When they have a purpose they see the future.

You want your team to be built on excellence. You want your team built with members of merit and character.

Resist those who propose membership based upon patronage, politics, quotas or diversity without reason.

Excellence is excellence and is not subject to conditions of race, colour, creed, national origin, etc. If someone is the best-qualified person to fulfil the team's mission, then, that's what they are. If they are not, they are not.
It is no surprise that there are many people with really high IQ’s working for people with really low IQ’s. The people with the high EQ, Emotional Quotient, are the real leaders. They know how to make people work together.

The high EQ people know how the whole game is played and they draw the best out of their people and they are not afraid to have the more ‘intelligent’ working for them.

Of course, the people with the high IQ know how long it takes two men to fill a bath with water halfway up a mountain in a thunderstorm but...that’s not going to improve business is it?

What would improve business?

Having the EQ skills to get the two guys to fill a bath with water halfway up a mountain in a thunderstorm in the first place!

And when you are ready...You and your team....Then...
 
Carpe Jugular....Seize the Throat
 
A fact of life is that at times we may all do or say things that let the side down, this is human nature.
 
But when the dust settles and the sky clears you must know which side your batting for, and so must the team. You need to be able to trust every member in the team to pull his or her weight. To do their best and to get the job done.
 
Remember, loyalty and respect are things that can take along time to gain, but sadly they can be lost over night or in a second.
You have been warned!

Be ready. There is no better time to start taking positive action than right now.

You can't change yesterday but you can build tomorrow today.

You research and you seek advice while realizing that a time comes when you must act.

Don't procrastinate. Live in the moment. Do what you are doing now. Work now. Enjoy now.

Understand that to know and to act are one and the same.

When you feel that you should change a bad habit, seize the moment and do it.

When you feel like exercising, seize the moment and do it.

When you feel like finally doing something that you have been putting off, seize the moment and do it.

If you can help someone out, do it.

If you can start practising a new skill, do it.

Fully participate in the present. Don't worry about the past or future. You are ready now.

If you drive down a motorway looking in the rear view mirror you won't get far before you hit something or career off the road.

Looking back will only give you a sprained neck.

Ask for the Business

This is a sign I had made up and put on the wall of my office..
I came up with this 15 years ago and it is a great mindset!!.

It's a contact sport.

What is?  Selling! 

But the truth is that even if people say they are not buying at the moment they will still want to know where to find the best.

Don't be shy or falsely modest. Tell them it's you!!!

Whatever you do, you do it to the best of your ability and so you do it well. You constantly train and research ways to improve yourself, your mind, your body, your home life and your business.

People want the reassurance of hearing this. They will come to you and come back to you and you will succeed.


Ask all that you meet to buy your product or service. To help a lot of people, you must tell a lot of people what you can do for them.

read that again: To Help a Lot of People you have to Tell a Lot of People.

Hand out lots of business cards, write a newsletter, write a blog, send e-mail, mail announcements, give speeches or hold seminars. Not everyone will like or appreciate or be grateful to hear your message, but most will.

In business, your fate lies not with the one prospect you are calling, but with the one hundred you are willing to call.

Some will. Some won't. So what? Next!!

You can be shy and work for fifty years. Or, you can believe in your product or service enough to be proud enough and brave enough to ask everyone to buy, and you may not have to work very long at all.

The odds of succeeding when you deal with many prospects is high. The odds of succeeding when you are focused on the needs of others is overwhelming.

Don't hide.

If you can't be proud of what you do or sell, then do or sell something else. You can't make people buy but you can let them know, if and when they are ready, that you will sell them a quality product at a good price and that you will appreciate their business.

Be strong, be proud, and never, ever, apologise for selling yourself.  You might just be what they need!
