NONE of Your Business

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

* Transcription

Thank God it’s Monday!™ That’s none of your business! Accepting constructive criticism is a trait of successful people. Listening to petty criticism, on the other hand, can destroy your self-esteem.

The more successful you become, the more you will attract insecure criticizers who don’t feel good about themselves and therefore, want to take away from your greatness.

Here’s the good news. Their view of you is none of your business. It may not even have a thing to do with you.

IF you know your intentions are good and you’re operating off of enlightened values, plow ahead regardless of the opinions of others. Great people will always be met with plenty who want attack and hurt. If you stop for a minute to listen to it, you will be thrown off your vision of greatness.

So don’t forget that their opinion of you is really NONE of your business.

Plow ahead and keep on keeping on.

Have a great Monday!

School of Hard Knocks

Monday, April 19th, 2010

* Transcription

Thank God it’s Monday!™ Did you attend the school of hard knocks? In life, we get one of two things from every encounter. We get the result we wanted OR we get the lesson.

Most people don’t realize that sometimes, IF the lesson sticks, the lesson is far more valuable than the desired result because it allows for a future of guaranteed improvement in results.

One young man was passed over for a promotion. He stormed into his boss’s office shouting, “How could you give Julie that promotion over me? I’ve been here longer! 20 YEARS of experience with this company and no promotion?”

The wise boss said, “Bob, you’ve had one year of experience 20 times. Bob, you just don’t learn from your mistakes.”

What a sad story. Learning to put your mistakes and failures in proper perspective is the key to personal and professional growth. Mistakes are rarely fatal but a person’s attitude about those mistakes could very well be.

Soul searching after each mistake is important to glean the lesson and putting habits in place so it won’t happen again…even MORE important.

Let mistakes be your treasure of discovery.

Have a great Monday!

Practice Reverse Paranoia

Monday, April 12th, 2010

* Transcription

Thank God it’s Monday!™ People do things for all kinds of reasons. Those reasons are their reasons and sometimes we guess incorrectly about what their intention was. For example…

Your kid isn’t home on curfew so you assume:

A.) He’s in a car accident.
B.) He’s blowing off curfew.
C.) He’s dead.

Now, each of these is a bit extreme. When he arrives home, you find out that he ran out of gas and his cell phone battery was dead, and you feel a little silly.

The same thing happens in the workplace.

When someone walks right by you without giving you a warm fuzzy, you may assume:

A.) She is angry at you because you told the boss she missed a deadline.
B.) She is planning to get you fired!
C.) She hates you, she’s always hated you, and she’s running a campaign in the lunchroom to get everyone else to hate you.

In reality, you may find out in fact, she was late for a meeting and you flatter yourself—she wasn’t thinking of you at all!

Obviously making up the worst in your mind is not only destructive to your own sanity, but very counterproductive for your team.

Instead, practice reverse paranoia. Assume everyone loves you and is there to support you every day. IF there is a pattern to the contrary, deal with facts and approach that relationship issue head on.

Now, won’t THAT make you skip and hop a little every day?

Have a great Monday!

I Wonder…

Monday, April 5th, 2010

* Transcription

Thank God it’s Monday!™ I Wonder… What REALLY amazing thing will happen today?

I learned a great thing a few weeks ago from one of my team members. She said she wakes up in the morning and says to herself, “I wonder what really amazing thing will happen today?”

No, her name is NOT Pollyanna.

And she really got my attention when she then started coming into my office telling me about the really great things that happened to her each day. Hmmmmm… I was so motivated by her breakthroughs that I thought… Hey, I’m going to try this… and so I did! I now wake up every morning and say to my beloved, “Wake up, wake up! We have to go find out what really amazing thing is going to happen today!” Yep, he was a little annoyed at first.

But let me tell you what happened. We both started finding that more and more better things were happening because we were focusing our reticular activating systems (that’s that part of our brains that pulls things into focus) on creating better things. So, might I suggest to you that your life outcomes may change substantially by being in the question of… I wonder what really amazing thing is going to happen today?

Have a great Monday!
