Seeing What Isn’t There

Monday, October 10th, 2011

* Transcription

Thank God it’s Monday!® People aren’t hired because they can do the job. Most who didn’t get the job could’ve fulfilled the job description easily. The people who are hired are those who demonstrate the ability to see what isn’t there, and should be, and make it happen. Now, that’s job security.

Saying something like, “nobody told me” or “it’s not in my job description” is a first class ticket to the unemployment line. Instead, if you see something that needs to be done, don’t put a note in the suggestion box—step up and make it happen. Think like a leader. Leadership is not a position; it’s a way of being.

Develop a reputation for seeing what isn’t there and making it happen and you’ll be amazed at all the doors swinging open for you.

Have a great Monday!

Will Trumps Talent

Monday, September 19th, 2011

Thank God it’s Monday!™ Legendary football coach Vince Lombardi once said, “The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.” So often we seem to forget the power of will.

Talent exists, don’t get me wrong. But in most every office, wouldn’t you rather take a moderately talented guy with off the charts will over a genius who doesn’t give a hoot? Seems like we would every time.

What is your will like? Are you committed out of your mind to being extraordinary every day? If so it will show. And if you’re not there now, it’s just a decision that can be made right this second. So go ahead, create a great Monday!

Swing Your True Swing

Thank God it’s Monday!™ The game of golf is really quite simple. The struggle is suppressing the distractions, calming yourself such that you are in complete tune with your body, and maintaining unparalleled focus. In the great movie, The Legend of Bagger Vance, Bagger Vance put it this way: “He got a lot of shots he could choose from… Duffs and tops and skulls, there’s only ONE shot that’s in perfect harmony with the field… One shot that’s his authentic shot, and that shot is gonna choose him… There’s a perfect shot out there tryin’ to find each and every one of us…”

I truly believe that. Maybe you’ve learned to swing an ugly swing, but you’ve grown comfortable with it. And now that you’re trying to correct your bad form, things aren’t feeling natural.

Step out of your comfort zone, and let that true swing come through you. Let your innate wisdom lead you powerfully.

Have a great Monday!

Under-Promise and Over-Deliver

Monday, August 8th, 2011

Thank God it’s Monday!™ Have you ever ordered a pizza, the guy on the phone said it would be an hour, and it shows up in 30 minutes? You’re pumped!

Or how about the last time you ordered a book off of Amazon? They said it would take 7 to 10 business days. When it arrives on day 2, you are one happy customer.

Coincidence? Not a chance. You’re just lucky? I don’t think so. This is pure marketing. It’s called
under-promise and over-deliver. And that way, when someone receives your ‘over’ delivery, they are more enthused and love you even more.

Have a great Monday!

Spin Around and Smile

Monday, July 18th, 2011

Thank God it’s Monday!™ Children up to preschool age are said to laugh 150-300 times daily, while adults laugh only 15 times a day!

Sure, as we grow older we may discover that we are not as innately happy as a toddler, but we can decide to smile. In fact, just doing so has been proven to instill happiness. In the late 80’s for instance, a study was conducted wherein students were asked to make a “u” or an “e” sound and record how they felt. Unsurprisingly, subjects that made the “e” sound reported feeling much happier than their counterparts, because they were smiling as a result.

So smile. Smile right now. Smile at lunch. Spin around in a circle and smile. Feeling better? I thought so. Create a great Monday!
