I believe in the Power of Five:
- Passion
- Pride
- Purpose
- Profits
- Perception
- PASSION fuels the courage it takes to be a great
leader and stand up against conventional wisdom.
When your are passionate about creating a result
you want to achieve, it gives you the courage to be
different and avails you with the power to overcome
your fears and use those emotions to your
advantage.
- PRIDE in what you do and who you are, makes
you stand-up tall, unafraid, totally confident and
unstoppable. How would you like to feel like that
every second of the day? No matter what your
business is, nor what your life is like, if you are proud
of it, and live with PRIDE, you are already a
WINNER.!!!
- PURPOSE is what gets you out of bed, what fuels
your Passion, your Pride, and your sense of Profits.
Knowing “why” you do what you do brings into the
open your life’s purpose and your driving force.
- PROFITS is your given right to create a bottom
line that provides you with the lifestyle you want for
yourself, your family and those you care about.
Profits support your business plans, your vision, your
mission, and your dreams.
- PERCEPTION is what puts all of the above into
the lens of your own truth, which you must own.
However, you must also develop the ability to
change perception. By making perception your ally,
you understand that you can change your
perceptions, that you can create change within
yourself, and that you can also change situations to
continually serve your life’s purpose. You become a
Master of Meaning -- and perception becomes
power.
Last, but not least, always remember to “promote”
yourself, shamelessly, with pride, dignity, honesty
and integrity. This is your life, live like you mean it!!!!

Managing Overwhelm |
 |
|
October 10, 2005 (I)
Have you ever noticed how people react when they
have had it UP to here and they can’t take
it anymore? Has it happened to you?
It’s called “Overwhelm” ~ so what do we
do with it, we ask?
First, we put it into perspective. How do we do that?
Here are a few examples:
- We change the situation
- We change “our Perception” of the situation
- We leave the situation
- We cope with the situation
Then, we prioritize. We make a list and
slowly begin to discern the “MUST DO’s” by putting
numbers or symbols indicating the level of urgency.
From there, we take ACTION towards the most
important item on our list.
As a result of the recent devastation of Hurricane
Katrina in New Orleans and the neighboring Gulf
cities, we witnessed first-hand many examples of
prioritizing to manage overwhelm. Did you notice how
the Heroes took care of priorities very quickly, while
the non-heroes just froze with an eerie inability to
act?
Helping others is NOT new to our readers nor the
writer, but helping in biblically, devastating
proportions IS. Who knew that no matter
what, we had the internal fortitude to go out of our
way to help. This is where Pride and Courage
kicks-in. We all need Courage to face and manage
our own overwhelm.
The moral of the story is:
- We show courage whenever we are called
upon
- We show courage whenever we are needed
- We show courage because we are human beings
helping other human beings and we care
- We show and must have courage, to manage our
overwhelm by prioritizing
- We must become our own “heroes”
When it comes to Courage, you must:
- Own It!
- Honor It!
- Live by It!
We have but one life: “Live it with courage, live
it with Pride"

The Power of Benefits in Today’s Market |

October 10, 2005 (II)
As we go through life wondering "What’s in it for us?"
Perhaps a better question becomes: "What’s in it for
THEM?"
Interesting, isn’t it? This kind of question makes you
think outside the box prompting you to look at your
products and services from a completely different
angle.
When selling a service or product, think in terms of:
- What problems are you solving?
- What needs are you fulfilling?
- How are your clients “benefiting” by having YOU,
your products and/or services in their lives?
As long as you see yourself, your products and your
services as a global BENEFIT to the rest of the
human race, you will never have to think of “selling”
your products, or explain what you do, ever gain.
It’s all about the BENEFITS!
Next time you get ready to think of what you are
selling, think of this: "What’s in it for THEM?"
Better yet: "What’s in it for
Humanity?"
