Note from Natalie

 

Spring Has Sprung

It is spring in TN! When you can see all the little green things emerging from the dirt you know that Spring is here officially.

I need to make a correction about our coaching tip last week regarding breathing and decreasing stress. We asked you to breath in on 1001 and out on 1002. In fact, that will cause you to hyperventilate. My sincere apologies. My dear friend, Dr. Ross, wrote to let me know of the error. Here is what is correct: Breath in slowly to the count of 1001, 1002, 1003 and exhale as slowly to 1001, 1002, 1003. You will be amazed how easily you will be in control of your stress with good slow and controlled breathtahnking. Thanks Ross.

Our phone is ringing off the hook asking for help with coaching and honing leadership skills for business development and revenue generation. My article this week will provide you with some immediately usable tips, techniques and strategies for improving your business skills so you can secure your confidence and consistently generate good revenues and profits.

To Your Success,

Profits, Confident Revenue and Creating High-Value Relationships

By: Natalie R. Manor, CEO

Our phone is ringing off the hook with people asking for help in honing their business skills to create success and profits.

I can absolutely guarantee you success in creating confidence and successfully producing profits if you do the following items, without fail, all of the time, no excuses. In fact, it cannot fail. But you must follow it to the “T” - 24/7.

  1. Know what you do well and tell everyone. Make sure that the service or product brings value and provides success for those that purchase or use it. Develop a joyful confidence in your strengths and talents and share them every minute, with all people. Advertise your strengths and talents. Share them.
  2. Hone your communication and relationship skills to the point that you are always clear and people trust you implicitly. Make sure that all people lean in to listen to you when you open your mouth to speak. Tell the truth. Be the truth.
  3. Get enough sleep to keep you in tip top psychological shape and provide you with a reservoir of self confidence. That is between 7-9 hours of sleep a night. Less is not what the body wants or needs. Just because you can get by on less, does not mean it is good for you or enough.
  4. Exercise everyday using cardio for your heart, stretching for your muscles and meditation for your soul and cosmic connection. You might even decide that you want to add prayer to that “exercise” program of yours. Did you know that they can now measure the improvement of sick people who have had people pray for them – even from hundreds of miles away? Think of the power of that…use it for you and for the world.
  5. Eat well and with the best nutrition you can find for yourself. For every meal, be conscious of what you put into your body and make sure it is of the highest nutritional value.
  6. Contribute your time to something that needs your talents, for free, with soul and joy and do it with the long term in mind. Change a life
  7. Remove all judgments for all people at every chance you get. Just remove them, whether they are a different color or sound different, or have a radically different belief system or just plain do not agree with you and your philosophy. Give yourself and them a break. Do not judge anyone.
  8. Find a sleeping baby or a puppy and just hold them. I can attest to the power of a dashhound puppy being able to slow you right down and make you feel the good in the world.
  9. Forgive your mom, dad, brother, sister, the President, the terrorists, the banks, the newspaper kid that never gets the morning paper on the porch, that *&^%$# neighbor that annoys you to pieces. Forgive them. Then start the non-judging thing with them. You will feel new.

Well, ok, so this is not what you expected to hear. You thought I was going to give you loads tips, techniques and strategies about leadership and honing your success skills. And I did.

I spoke to a gal this week who just finished a $6.5 million dollar capital campaign. She raised more dollars than the non-profit had ever raised…reached her goals…wowed the community and is just plain annoyed at the entire world. She is one of the most effective leaders I’ve met in years. Clear, organized, talented and mad as heck.

Another HR executive called me to complain about her CEO who was not participating at an effective enough level for her in the business of developing their strategies and succession plan. The guy could do not right. However, in the last two years he had grown the company 25%; they are making money with a huge backlog in orders and the employees pay $36.00 a year for their TOTAL healthcare cost. She is completely out of relationship with her boss and finger pointing with it set on stun.

A CEO of a major financial institution is about to reach $1 billion in revenue and is frustrated as heck with two of his senior managers. Seems they did not provide a needed report in time and he is spewing and sputtering. The institution is solid; they are clear leaders in their financial world; the senior management is excited and proud of their work. And the CEO is sputtering like a bad engine.

That is only 3 of the calls we got this past week.

I asked each one why they were annoyed. Many reasons came out that could have easily been explanations, but the truth in each case is that these leaders are just plain tired; no exercise; no good nutrition; little time to think only do; annoyed at the world; and all of them had stopped giving their time and energy because they had run out of time.

I share with you what I shared with them. Their habits of how they operate on a daily basis are suffering because they are not supporting themselves in the best way possible.

I received a call from the CEO Monday morning and he said that he took his weekend to look at his habits of self-care and self-thinking and they were pretty bad. So we are putting together a 6-month “habit changing plan” so he can bounce during his day instead of splat.

We talk about our world and the chaos. I suggest that maybe your habits are contributing to your chaos. Or, better yet, “are your habits contributing to your chaos and lack of resiliency?”

Confidence, ease, health, joy, success can be yours easily. Remember the guarantee above? Print it out and paste it on your mirror, appointment book or inside your outlook calendar.

How are you habitually guaranteeing your success?

  1. Self-Discipline: You must be able to do what needs to be done without a boss standing over you. You must be your own boss and provide for your own accountability. (I can help with that.)
  2. Organizational Skills: You must be able to work in an orderly way. Chaos will always be an obstacle to growth and success.
  3. Patience: You must be able to wait for results and have realistic expectations. (For example, developing relationships with new prospects takes time.)
