Purpose Positive

If ever there was a living source of eclectic resources for advancing your dreams, this was the man.  The teaching community lost a wonderful spirit on December 5th.

Jim Rohn (September 17, 1930 – December 5, 2009) was mentor, motivator, author, and cheerleader of entrepreneurs, during a successful career of nearly fifty years. He touched countless lives and loved making a difference for many people who were launching their own entrepreneurial careers.

He was fond of the beauty of the basics. He taught that success comes more through personal development than a narrow focus on business alone.  A new idea during his early career, working on personal development was something he modeled as well as he taught.  He loved to greet attendees at seminars, and became good friends with many who started out as students.

His body of work will continue to influence, through his books, articles, CDs and the plethora of anecdotes and stories being passed on.  He epitomized the quest for positive purpose, and will be missed, if still followed, by many.

Boy Howdy, here it is!  Wait till you find out you could have been reading this all along.  Oh well, let’s stick with the moment.

We  search, scan, surf, link, chat, sign up, and sometimes fork over, for anything we think will improve our lot and mood.

Where do they come up with this stuff?

In all fairness, there IS a ton of excellent material online which carries the potential to make us feel good, better, even best.  But how do we tell who the ‘good guys’ are? And how much time and treasure should we spend in the hunt?

What if the Ultimate Feel-Good Article is something WAY DIFFERENT than you expected?  Something you can’t even look for. Kind of like what they say about a solution to a puzzle only showing up after you sleep on it, or the answer to a prayer not coming from where you thought it would.

What if the Ultimate Feel-Good Article is one you write yourself?  Hey, don’t feel cheated, at least not yet.  Like Billy Mays said, “Wait, there’s more.”

• Proposition 1:  Spend 15 minutes a day (5 min. for new mothers/fathers and other time-challenged creatures) being with yourself, and jot down a few things you are grateful for.  Lists, prose, poetry, outlines, stick-up notes, napkins, doesn’t matter.  What matters is that you practice — five minutes every day that you don’t have an all-day migraine.
• Proposition 2:  Let the habit sweep you into a new mindset.
• Proposition 3:  Allow yourself to think this is important, and it carries the potential to make a BIG difference.  Keep your tidbits, WRITTEN.

THE BIG PROP: Read the stuff on the days when you least want to do so.

Read it aloud.

Recite your lists to pets, babies, sleeping squirrels in your oak tree, house plants, mirror, friend on the phone, partner if you have one, favorite lamp, doesn’t matter.  What matters is that you listen.  Listen, huh?!

The Ultimate Feel-Good Article turns out to be ephemeral, unless it gets to take root in your psyche.  So you have to actually listen to yourself to have this work for you long term.

(Short-term yada-yada is quite acceptable, however, because it gets your brain used to the messages, even if your mind still thinks it’s hogwash.)

Try this.  Yes, of course, come back and explore our offerings, but first…

Go read YOUR Ultimate Feel-Good Article.  Then come back and leave us a comment, or questions about getting the hang of it.  We’ll be here for you.

These insider similarities between ventriloquists and really good entrepreneurs can help anyone communicate their Positive Purpose.  The Five Tips were discovered recently and we simply have to pass them on to all of our readers:

Be able to speak with more than one voice.

• Communicate effectively with lots of people
• So they feel your attention is specifically focused on them.
• Help them feel you understand and care for each one.

Get caught doing something that makes you happy.

• Communicating your satisfaction and happiness
• Makes you a source of positive motivation
• And encourages interest and audience participation.

Be willing to share the spotlight.

• No one likes a mega-limelight hog.
• Collaboration can make competing even more effective
• And send you to stardom with less ego bruising.

Use your talents and skills for good causes.

• Give back to the community
• It’s good business —
• And it’s the right thing to do.

Leave your audience wanting more.

• Athletes call it leaving at the top of their game
• Great singers say their voice will tell them when to retire
• The most effective marketers put out a clear call to action
  and then let the buyer make the decision to act

Veritably all successful entrepreneurs (or other performers) know these rules.  Comedians use common experiences to establish feelings of connection among their audiences.  Listeners feel they are a part of the process because they catch glimpses of themselves in the act.  Sometimes both figuratively and literally!

Laughing is contagious.  So is happiness.  Broadcast your positive image and be a presence everyone will want to associate with.  Invite participation both directly and indirectly.  Model the attitude you hope to foster in others.

How engaging would a ventriloquist be all alone on the stage?  Much of her best material could not be communicated in it’s usually effective way.  The same is true of entrepreneurs who need others to help them achieve goals and dreams.  Going Big means getting support, sharing tasks, collaborating on projects, and sharing the spotlight. Be appreciative of your helpers, mentors, and cohorts.  Find good ones.

Giving and giving generously are standard markers of success.  Whether referring to moral character, community image, networking acumen, or business strategy, giving is good.  For all the right reasons.

This is the hardest one for most folks.  Saying your piece and exiting, leaving your audience wanting more, is a learned skill.  Getting to the place where you have confidence can be a lengthy journey.  Shorter, much shorter if you have good teachers.

Happy New Year,

The Sun is coming back to the Northern Hemisphere, and Saturday is a first-quarter moon.   New, new, new.  New 2009 lines on spreadsheets.  New predictions, new corners to turn, new possibilities, new habits.

I need some habits that will help me
get a Ferrari, for only a buck.

The only way for me to fully participate in all that newness, is to figure out how to recreate myself inside-out.  That is, I need a new way of thinking, which will spill over into all that outer life we call consensus reality.  I must renew, revive, re-invent, rearrange myself, to be new, in these coming months.

I am thinking about how to reinvent myself
as someone who can swing a deal for a Ferrari,
for only a buck.

Not to worry, I will still be myself – with enough new energy to go forward and, more practically speaking, to apply my efforts to achieve amazing new successes.  How else can we accomplish new tasks, complete new work, tackle new projects?  We need some fresh energy and lots of stamina.

Does driving a Ferrari take special stamina?

There is definitely a new prize available for you. You may even be able to earn a prize in the next three months.  The prize might be:

• Learning how to profit from something you love to do.
• Running your own business, so loaded with great value, your customers love to hear from you, buy from you, and ask for more.
• Finding wildly wealthy mentors who have a calling to help others, and who can help you become wildly successful too.
• Making enough extra moolah to get and STAY debt-free!
• Finding some quick relief from old constraints and traps.

Freedom from Ruts

Successful people show a willingness to participate in the kind of inner renewal that becomes a part of their outer life.  The kind that gives us courage and determination to pursue our visions and dreams.

(Goal-oriented people call those goals and objectives.)

It’s the stuff that makes the difference – between wishful thinking and bold action, between fantasy and real, relief-bringing achievement.

How badly do you want change, freedom, success?

What do you need, in order to achieve your visions and dreams, er, goals and objectives?  What new habits are you willing to learn. What tools would help you?  What do you need to do, right this minute?

Oh, and the bonus prize might be a Ferrari.
