Develop [...]]]> Developing A Vision For Your Future
By: Brian Tracy

What Only Leaders Can Do
The one quality that all leaders have in common is that they have a clear and exciting vision for the future. This is something that only the leader can do. Only the leader can think about the future and plan for the future each day.

Develop A Clear Vision
Excellent leaders take the time to think through and develop a clear picture of where they want the organization to be in one, three and five years. Leaders have the ability to communicate this vision in such a way that others “buy in” and eventually see the vision as belonging to them.

How to Motivate People
It is the vision of the future possibilities, of what can be, that arouses emotion and motivates people to give of their best. The most powerful vision is always qualitative, aimed at and described in terms of values and mission rather than quantitative, described in terms of money. Of course, money is important, but the decision and commitment to “be the best in the business” is far more exciting.

To encourage others, to instill confidence in them, to help them to perform at their best requires first of all that you lead by example.
Develop amazing self-confidence and be unstoppable in everything you do!
Think of all the things you could do if you enjoyed super levels of self-confidence… your career would be booming, offers would be flying your way, everyone would want to be with you. You would have more opportunities to find that “special someone.”

Be A Great Team Player
A study at Stanford Business School examined the qualities that companies look for in promoting young managers toward senior executive positions, especially the position of Chief Executive Officer. The study concluded that there were two important qualities required for great success in leadership. The first is the ability to put together a team and function as a good team player. Since all work is ultimately done by teams, and the managers’ output is the output of the team, the ability to select team members, set objectives, delegate responsibility and finally, get the job done, was central to success in management.

Keep Your Cool
The second quality required for rapid promotion was found to be the ability to function well under pressure, and especially in a crisis. Keeping your cool in a crisis means to practice patience and self-control under difficult or disappointing circumstances.

Everyone Is Watching
The character and quality of a leader is often demonstrated in these critical moments under fire, when everyone is watching, observing and privately taking notes. As Rudyard Kipling once said, “If you can keep your head when all around you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, then the world is yours and all that’s in it”.

Your job as a leader is to have a clear vision of where you want to go and then to keep your cool when things go wrong, as they surely will.

Action Exercises
Here are two things you can do immediately to put these ideas into action.

First, project forward 3-5 years and imagine your ideal future vision. What does it look like? What steps can you take immediately to begin turning your future vision into your current reality?

Second, resolve in advance that, no matter what happens, you will remain calm and cool. You will not become upset or angry. You will take a deep breath and focus on the solution rather than on the problem.

Pat Hintze will be discussing the ‘Colors of Success’ materials she talked about in her workshop in Nashville!!

My mom and brother were [...]]]> I was not able to attend the National Convention this year. We are not far enough in our business to completely pay for something like this, but I know that next year we will see great things because there are pleanty of opportunities for us, and anyone else interested in Shaklee.

My mom and brother were able to go to the conference and from what my mom has told me there are great opportunities in the company.

I am excited and will talk more about new products –

I am sure most of you have heard me talk about this – if not I would love to spend 30 min talking about it. That’s all I will need and I am sure you will be hooked, like we have.

The advantages of these nutritional products are amazing and just a few moments to say how it has helped us. We are overal healthier – we are cleaning with nothing but environmentally friendly, nontoxic cleaners. That is not only helping our house, our kids but it is also saving us money.

Katie and I are doing a weight loss program which is helping us become healthier and more fit. I just need to remember to eat more calories (what a great program to help me do that). And we hope to get Logan and Addyson on a more ridge vitamin routine to help with his sensory issues and to keep them healthy all winter — I have a feeling that they will not be sick once this winter.

As more details come back to me I will update the blog.
