Persistence like a sledgehammer
2008-08-02 16:07:00 Thought of the Day:?What do you first do when you learn to swim? You make mistakes, do you not? And what happens? You make other mistakes, and when you have made all the mistakes you possibly can without drowning - and some of them many times over - what do you find? That you can swim? Well - life is just the same as learning to swim! Do not be afraid of making mistakes, for there is no other way of learning how to live!?Alfred Adler quotes I was watching a wrecking crew the other day take down an old building. A guy with a huge sledge hammer was swinging the tool in an effort to bring down a wall.First swing? nothing happened? just a small indentation in the wall?Another swing brought about a crack in the wall?. A couple of swings later? a small hole in the wall?. He could now see the other side of the wall?. A couple of minutes later, the wall which once stood proudly has been reduced to a rubble of bricks and mortar.The guy scrambles over the pile of rubble that was once a wall a...

bad days, thoroughbreds and mules
2008-06-04 20:08:00 After a few days of self discovery, coaching, coaching, and more coaching I have come to a few realizations:Dianna had a funny at the end of our call Monday: "You can tap a thoroughbred on the rear and it will go 0-90 real quick and never quit running. But you can beat a mule over and over and it still won't budge."In fact, I may care more about your business than you do. I'm letting that go.Every little bit we accomplish, makes a BIG difference.My goal is to empower you to move you in the direction of your dreams....and if those dreams are not formed, my goal is to move you in the direction of considering and discovering what they may be.I made the mistake of letting others non-motivation affect my motivation.Thanks for that too, Dianna, my coach! A few other truths that I was reminded of that helped this week:Programming ---> Thoughts---->Feelings----> Actions-----> Results--->Programming. 90% of people will move away from painonly 10% will move toward pleasurethere is a reason ...

Persistence, Not Repetition, Gets the Deal
2008-03-14 14:03:00 Another pearl from Seth Godin, on Persistence: Persistence isn’t using the same tactics over and over. That’s just annoying. Persistence is having the same goal over and over. It doesn’t need much explanation, but I will try to add a bit of value to my audience of sales professionals. We are often told to hit the phone, pound the pavement, fill the pipeline. What if we altered our perspective to: My goal is to make sure every person in my sales pipeline is maximizing their business in the area of expertise I provide–even if it is not with or doesn’t require my product. I used the term persistence 4 times in this post yesterday. Are you repeating your last call or conversation or are you adamant about accomplishing your client goal?

Small Business on the tilt, Persistence on the helm needed
2008-02-06 08:23:00 I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen. ~ Frank Lloyd WrightManaging and owning your own small business is not as easy as it seems. What do you do when you don?t see profits over the last six months? When you are incurring cost after cost which you have not anticipated during your small business planning? When the people you hired are not delivering the performance you expected? When the marketing and advertising campaigns you launched seem to have not met the targeted exposure you want? When you received daily complaints on your products and services? The list can go on and on. Such things that tend to cause our small business to tilt, lose our balance, and push us to the wall of desperation.Ey, wait, hang-on there! Those things are just parts and parcels of realities you have to face when running your own small business. It is not an easy path to take. You need to invest a lot on persistence too, ...

Persistence!
2008-01-28 13:08:00 There is no substitute for persistence! It cannot be supplanted by any other quality! Remember this in the beginning and it will hearten you when the going may seem difficult and slow. Those who have cultivated the habit of persistence seem to enjoy insurance against failure. No matter how many times they are defeated, they finally arrive up near the top of the ladder. Sometimes it appears there is a hidden guide whose duty is to test people through all sorts of discouraging experiences. Those who pick themselves up after defeat and keep on trying arrive; and the world cries, "Bravo! I knew you could do it!" The hidden guide lets no one enjoy great achievement without passing the persistence test. Those who can't take it simply do not make the grade.. Those who can "take it" are bountifully rewarded for their persistence. They receive, as their compensation, whatever goal they are pursuing. Napoleon Hill

the persistence of vectors
2008-01-09 08:41:00 [CAD space / banal but efficient] As an intern architect, I spend more than my fair share of time constructing and administrating digital drawings. My relationship with the drafting board is quite similar to my understanding of the chemical darkroom. I think of it as a tangible space for abstraction, one which demands rigor and expertise with a number of precise and increasingly esoteric tools. It would be naive to think that the digital domain is more advanced than the paper space on which graphite expresses ambition. In fact, when closely considered, the vast majority of digital technical drawing completely emulates historical modes of production. It is only recently that building intelligence modeling (BIM) and parametric modeling are challenging conceptions of workflow and fabrication across a variety of design disciplines. I can't help but notice the irony that I am now spending my formative years as a designer in the same space that I spent my formative years - within the rea...

Teen Issues : Persistence To Study
2007-11-18 08:03:00 This week has been pretty stressful for me academically. Remember the post I made about my course? From monday up to saturday, I was on the library studying my operating room procedures, principles and practices. We had our long test on friday and saturday and I slept late at night pretty late only to wake up in the morning facing the fact that I have to be on the same routine again.This brings me to a controversial question. . . Where do teens get their persistence to study?I can relate to people who drop out of school because of this stress but hey, thats not an option for me. I have to get good grades for my transcript, my children in the future and most of all, to myself. This only happens once in our life so why not get through it like everybody does? Its just a matter of mind setting.

Persistence and Perseverance for Winners – Losers Just Quit
2007-11-02 13:00:00 For instrumental music while reading, choose: hi-fi (broadband) or low-fi. Giving up is easy. Most people make a habit of giving up. In fact, they make a life of it. Achievers approach problems and setbacks with an entirely different attitude. When adversity strikes, they look for work-arounds and adapt their procedures. As a result, they may find better ways of proceeding toward their dreams that they may have never discovered otherwise. Instead of reasons to quit, winners see apparent road-blocks as opportunities to fine-tune their methods in order to continue re-inventing their approach to make it the best it can be in any given moment. Quitting is for losers. Persistence through a solution-oriented attitude is for visionaries, dreamers and other winners who refuse to take “no” for a final answer. “‘No’ is a word on your path to ‘Yes.’ Don’t give up too soon. Not even if well-meaning parents, friends, and colleagues tell you to get ...

That Darn 20% Again- Flush it Out
2007-10-02 22:15:00 Today I heard in one breath: "Man, I'm used to a deal every month and this month nothing.".....and in the next I heard, "I'm just not doing my 20%." Gee, I wonder if there is a direct correlation? (The answer is YES). For more info on 20% see the following link: http://blogs.briantracy.com/pub-lic/item/185067So to give the guy a break, he's merely lost focus on WHAT that 20% actually is.We have a session in our agent training that talks about revenue producing actions vs business supporting actions. 80% of your time should be spent doing the revenue producing actions. Revenue producing actions ARE YOUR 20%. Another way to say it is revenue producing actions are the "highest and best use of your time."Take out 2 pieces of paper. On one, write "80 %" & "Supporting." On the other write "20%" & "Revenue Producing."Now write down everything you do as a part of your work day on one of those two pieces of paper. Write down everything you need to do, or want to do, on one of those...
