Wheel of Life Podcast: Business|Productivity|Accountability

Today we are going to talk about 7 Ideas to Engage and Motivate Your Staff / Team Members As a business leader or small business owner, the most important lesson you can learn about motivating staff is that what motivates you may not necessarily motivate any of the other employees you are responsible for. Motivation means different things to different people. As a business manager or small business owner, it is an integral part of your role to observe and learn what inspires and motivates each and every member of your staff. However, having said that, recent psychoanalytical studies on what influences employees to become engaged and proactive yielded a defined methodology that proved to be universally effective. We will discuss 7 Ideas on How to Engage and Motivate Your Staff / Team Members You have access to at least 11 free personal development resources you can take advantage of right now (www.AccountabilityCoach.com).

Today we are going to talk about you distracting you, discipline, and applying the 4 D Formula for helping you focus on your high payoff activities that put you in the highest probability position to achieve your goals. The ‘stuff’ in your head is distracting you! Do you have things continually going on in your head of all you have to do today, tomorrow, next week, etc? Those are distractions! When you effectively use your calendar and master task list on a consistent basis you don’t have to have all these things going on in your head thinking you have to remember them and being afraid you are going to forget to do something. Do some of these things you have in your head keep you up at night? When you take them out of your head and put them on your master task list and on your calendar, you can sleep better every night. You will be more in control and you will feel a sense of relief. Don’t believe me, try this for yourself and you will be like the many people I coach who have that sigh of relief when they get all these distractions out of their head and in the proper place (that you review and honor – did I forget to mention this part…). Stop distracting yourself with all your thoughts. Do it today. Let me know how I can help you. One of the best lessons I ever learned to reduce low pay off activities and leave time for the HPAs is the four D formula for assessing the things in your life. You have too many things to do and not enough time so how do you decide. Consider ever action item in your life and apply the 4 D formula. Apply discipline to effectively using your calendar to take the things going around in your head that are distracting.

I believe there are 3 important areas that will help support you in growing your business and achieving your next level of success. Belief, Confidence, Focus Changing your circumstances and creating the life you really want starts with creating a high level of belief that allows you to feel that you can achieve anything you set your mind upon. With conviction and desire, you will be unstoppable because you will believe that anything is possible. As a result, you will create the life you have always dreamed about having. The reality is this, whatever you believe is what you have created and will create in your life. A healthy belief system gives you the confidence to achieve any goal you set for yourself, while a weak belief system creates habits that sabotage your ability to achieve your goals. The other area that will help support you in being successful is Confidence – I believe we all need to wake up every day with extra confidence to give away to those who need some confidence because they don’t have any or don’t have much to get them though the day. What do you have to do to make sure you wake up every day with extra confidence and still have some left over for you by the end of the day? The ability to really Focus on what you can control and do those things that put you in the highest probability position to achieve your goals for the reasons that are important to you is another key area in being successful. Stop letting things outside of your control negatively affect you. What can you control? Your activities and your emotions. We just talked about 2 emotions you can control – your BELIEF and your CONFIDENCE. Work on increasing your focus on your Highest Payoff Activities will put you in the highest probability position to achieve your goals. Stop complaining or blaming others for things that you can’t control anyway. Focus on you and what you can control and you will be even more successful and much happier. Learn the Keys to Working Less, Making More Money, and Having a More Balanced Life with the 30-day Goal Achievement Self-study Course. Besides all the learning tools to help keep you focused on the ‘right’ activities that put you in the highest probability position to achieve your goals, it includes 4 audios to help you create even greater success this year and next year. Go to www.AccountabilityCoach.com to view all the tools and resources included in the 30-day Goal Achievement course that is only $97 US. Aim for what you want each and every day!

Today we are going to talk about 4 Steps to Creating Successful Results with High Self-esteem. Having high self-esteem will give you the edge you need to apply confidence to every situation that demands it. Self-esteem is the combination of trust and belief in your talents and the ability to successfully complete the task at hand. It all starts with a clear identification of your talents, complemented by your understanding of their value. When you can acknowledge the value in your talents, you can acknowledge the value in yourself and that builds your self-esteem. The bottom line is that high self-esteem contributes to successful action because when action is supported by confidence, you encourage the likelihood for positive results. Approach any situation with low self-esteem and you could be setting yourself up for failure. The first step in creating high self-esteem is first understanding the value you bring to every situation. If you're missing an understanding of who you really are, it's difficult to effectively apply yourself in the situations that come your way. Through a series of four steps, you will learn how to grasp an understanding of your strengths and talents and how they contribute value to all situations. Lastly, you will understand how to build trust in your ability to deliver future successful results. We will discuss each of the 4 steps more in detail. They are: 1. Identify your strengths and talents 2. Identify your accomplishments 3. Create new accomplishments you can be proud of 4. How to trust yourself to be successful in every situation When you apply your high self-esteem to your business, you have the competitive edge. With high self-esteem, you'll know you're the right person for the job because you will have a keen understanding of your talents and the value you bring to the situation. Complement that with the confidence in your ability to deliver what the situation calls for and you have the winning combination. That winning combination will give you the confidence to present yourself effectively to the client and obtain business or get the job. When you can convey your high self-esteem to people, they will want to do business with you and look forward to it – plain and simple. You Rule!

Today we are going to talk about 4 Commitments That Can Impact Your Success. Have you ever made a commitment to yourself or someone and for whatever reason, didn’t follow through? How did you feel? We are going to talk about what commitment means to you along with 4 Commitments to remember. When you analyze these 4 commitments you will notice that they are not that “secretive” at all, rather, disciplines based upon common sense. We will also discuss how hard it is to stay committed and what to do about it. It’s not always easy to stay committed to your purpose, especially in troublesome times. Successful individuals will eventually achieve their reputation because their commitment was true: they approach their plans with determination and persistence. Commitment is most important when times get tough. Before embarking upon a new journey, plan your future well and prepare for the worst, while always hoping for the best. Welcome adversity because these are your challenges to overcome. These are the obstacles that hold you back from achieving your dream. These are tests for you to pass to show the world just how committed you are to making a difference for yourself and for others. My hope for our time together is that you got value and an idea or two that will help you be even more successful – personally and professionally.
