Be Likeable

Thank God it’s Monday!™ The formula for getting others to like you is quite simple. First of all, use the person’s name. Dale Carnegie says that the sweetest name in the English language is a person’s name.

As you get to know each other, ask questions about their lives and genuinely care about their answers. And if you don’t inherently care, learn to care. Others can sense superficiality, and so decide to become genuine.

As discussion goes on, spend time speaking about topics that coincide with their interests. It’s really that simple. The more questions you ask of others, the more you make them feel like they matter to you. Before you know it, nobody will be able to resist liking you!

Have a great Monday!

How Do You Want Others to Describe You?

Monday, March 7th, 2011

* Transcription

Thank God it’s Monday!™ In his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey walks you through a meditation wherein you attend your own funeral.

Not surprisingly, it stimulates some pretty far-reaching thought. Think for a second about your own funeral. How would others describe you? As a friend? As a coworker? As a parent?

Life is hectic, and life is unexpected. And life can be incredibly fast-paced. But never let things move so quickly that you forget who you are and what you are truly doing.

Take a minute, and play the scene out. Be honest with yourself. Be fair. Are you leaving the legacy that you intend to leave?

Have a great Monday!

Thank God it’s Monday!™ After recording his first album Sittin’ In, Kenny Loggins felt lost. He had finally achieved what had been his lifelong dream. And now, after getting there, where was he to go?

Performing in a show soon thereafter, Kenny found himself struggling to get the crowd engaged… until he saw the eyes of a young child looking up at him…

He claims that her “face was radiant… just pouring love at me.”Only then did Kenny open his heart. And as he did so, the eyes of more fans lit up. The outpouring of love swept the whole crowd. Before the song had finished, the entire crowd had risen to its feet.

Try opening your own heart and allowing your love to pour outward. Pretty soon, you too will have the whole crowd standing.

Have a great Monday!

Who Motivates the Motivator?

Monday, December 27th, 2010

Thank God it’s Monday!™ To give a dollar, you need a dollar. To shed a pound, you need a pound. Bottom line, you can’t give what you don’t already have.

Well, the same goes for inspiration. You CLAIM that you want to motivate others. You CLAIM that you want to stand as an example. Bottom line, you CLAIM that you want to inspire. Well then, spend time inspiring yourself. Every single day!

Make it a habit to read about the miraculous. Hop on the web and check out an inspirational quote. Identify those who have excelled in your field, and have conversations with them. Ask meaningful questions. Why and how have they been so successful?

Only then, once you have firmly established inspiration in YOUR life, will you effectively inspire those around you.

Have a great Monday!
