Five Survival Skills Every Manager Needs In Today’s Economy

Posted by admin in Finance Thursday, 20 May 2010 01:42 No Comments

Let’s face it:  Our current economy has put more pressure than ever on our managers.  Not only do they need to do more with less, they have to keep everyone motivated and engaged at the same time.  Managers can feel caught in the middle between what the organization needs, and what their employees need.  If you are a manager, struggling with these challenges, your role is critical now.  The following 5 key skills, when mastered effectively, can help you succeed even in today’s tough economy.

Identify and Align with Key Organizational Priorities.   It’s important to understand how the current economy has impacted your organization.  What’s most important for your company to succeed right now?   Make sure you know.  Then identify how this should impact your priorities as a manager.  Communicate these priorities to your staff, and communicate them consistently.  Make sure everyone is aligned and understands how their role helps the organization navigate through today’s choppy waters.

Manage Your Time to Focus on These Priorities.   It’s hard to disconnect from all our communication devices:  text messages, voice mail, constant emails, interruptions, and all sorts of staff crises.  However, the challenge every manager faces is the need to prioritize what is REALLY important from what is just urgent.  When the going gets tough, it is more important than ever to make sure you are accomplishing your most important priorities.  So remind yourself often what your critical objectives are.   Don’t let all the pressing demands of the day keep you busy, instead of effective.

Coach Your Staff to Succeed.   Your key role as a manager is helping your staff to succeed.  That means that you have got to help them stay focused on accomplishing their key priorities as well.  You need to be so clearly tuned in to them that you know when they are slipping.  Then you will need to coach them in the most effective way possible when they get off track.  Help them to take ownership when they need to improve, and find the best strategies for success.

Create a Motivational Environment.  Your staff can also be facing additional pressure and work demands right now.  You need to do everything in your power to keep them engaged.  Don’t ever underestimate the power of gratitude and appreciation.  Let your staff know what you value about each individual.  Be sincere and communicate it often.  You’ll be amazed at how powerful the strategy of expressed praise can be.

Become an Effective Change Agent.  The only constant we have is change.  To survive in today’s economy you need to embrace change and help your staff do the same.  Communicate openly when a change is about to occur and explain the benefits to the organization and/or your employees.  Help everyone understand how their actions can benefit the company by implementing the change. Although difficult at first, they’ll follow your lead and the new change will be accepted.

You can lead your staff through today’s economic challenges to be even stronger when the economy finally improves.  You, too, will become stronger in the process as a result.   Remember that your staff will watch how YOU step up to the challenge.  They will model your attitudes, actions and beliefs.  So use any challenge you experience as an opportunity to model what you want to see in others.  When you do, you will have mastered key elements of effective leadership, even in a tough economy.

INTUITIVE MONEY-GENERATING SURVIVAL SKILLS IN A BAD ECONOMY

Posted by admin in Finance Wednesday, 12 May 2010 04:22 No Comments

 

Use Your Intuition to Open the Floodgates to Money

Here’s good advice to help you maneuver and thrive during these troubled times

There’s only way one to achieve success and that’s to believe you are going to achieve and create it. Or attract it. One way or another, you have to open the floodgates to prosperity, to money, to large streams of gold flowing into your coffers and lining your pockets.

This isn’t the time to be ambivalent. You are either in or out, no more sitting on the fence, clinging for dear life, afraid to let go. You either believe the money will pour in, and it will and does, or you are pretending to believe, and the universe knows the difference. Trust me. That’s something I too struggle with.

When all systems are go, you don’t need to ask because the universe is giving you everything you want. I call that riding the Miracle Wave, miracle because once you hit the ON switch; everything you want comes pouring in. A tidal wave comes forth that sweeps you in its power, and you attract the right people, the job offers are there, synchronistic meetings occur. One of my clients met her future employer standing on line at Starbucks, talking about how she had just been let go, and before you know it, the other woman was offering her a job. Human minds can’t plan that, but trust me; there are higher forces at work.

WHAT IF YOU FOLLOWED YOUR INTUITION?

Her Intuitive Mind directed her to Starbucks at just the right moment for them to meet.

What if you could actually decipher what your Intuition is telling you, so that you know when to pay attention and listen?  Wouldn’t it be great to differentiate the voice of fear in your mind from the gut feeling in your belly? How do you intuit the right thing to do, the turn in the road to take? 

Awakening your Intuitive Mind, goes deep, and is the missing ingredient to manifesting your dreams. Many people think that all they need to do is repeat over and over, I am successful, I am prosperous, etc, and don’t understand why they haven’t worked.

Affirmations are great, but they aren’t effective if you are in fear, or anxious, as you underlay the affirmation with your negative belief system.  How it goes is simple. You are behind on your rent. What do you think about all the time? I need to pay the rent, how am I going to pay the rent. Now you might also be affirming, I pay the rent I pay the rent, money comes to me, but because you are radiating the inner fear of not paying the rent, that’s the one the universe responds to.

Your guides think oh “Sarah doesn’t want to pay her rent. Poor thing, she must enjoy that state of not paying and worry. That’s what we’ll give her.”

I’ve outlined s a few solutions here, and you can find more in my latest book, The Miracle Makers Club-Live The Prosperous and Soul-filled Life That You Deserve Today.

 TURN ON THE MASTERY SWITCH AND BECOME A MAGNET FOR PROSPERITY

Learn how to use the Mastery Switch, AKA the Miracle Mastery Switch. This switch was used by one of my AIDS patients years ago while I was practicing Chiropractic in Berkeley CA. At the end of his treatment, I would ask him to visualize a horizontal line, on the left was zero, and then following the hands of a clock, upright would be five, and on the left was a ten.

First he was instructed to tune in to exactly where the switch was at the moment of the healing. Normally he was somewhere from 4-7 in his belief system. Then, he affirmed the level of health he wished to achieve, and holding that thought would turn the switch to ten.  Then we would get to work on visualizing perfect results for all of his blood work, and hold the meter to a ten.  This worked so well that his doctors were amazed at the steady perfect levels they found.

UNBLOCK THE FLOW OF MONEY

You see you are not the only person experiencing obstructions in the money flow. The clients who normally pay you are experiencing restrictions, the people who hire them, the larger companies who employ, the banks and the government, going all the way back to the source. There are floodgates holding back the money everywhere. Your job? Begin to visualize the flow of money easing, the restrictions removed. Imagine a river of gold pouring forth from the inner recesses of the earth, breaking any logjams, and going right into your bank account. Click, more money, click, and more money. Imagine all the people who owe you money, your clients, your family, your boss, receiving large sums of golden cash, so much their coffers spill over, enough for all. In fact, lets see everyone in this economy, receiving unlimited abundance.

This is such a powerful visualization because so many people are in fear and in restriction that it is impacting everyone. To counter this effect, its very important to stay in the money flow, to affirm that money comes, and to set your Mastery Switch to a ten. Learn how to become a Magnet for wealth, a magnet for money, and a magnet for success. Its easy once you get into the flow.

How To Use Equestrian Quotes To Improve Your Horse Riding Skills

Posted by admin in Finance Tuesday, 27 April 2010 06:07 No Comments

Horse quotes, equestrian quotes, dressage quotes, words of wisdom from the masters of classical riding: a single sentence can change the way you look at horses and horse riding forever.


Horse quotes and horse riding quotes can be inspiring, heart-warming, educational or amusing. Educational quotes can make us think, comical ones can make us laugh and when the quote touches on a subject close to our hearts, it can even bring a tear or two to our eyes.


Reading quotes and marvelling about how accurate and true they are is entertaining, but could they possibly have a more influential effect or our personal riding experience? Could a quote really make a difference to how well you ride, on how effortlessly you interact with your horse?


To master the art of classical riding, physical practice is not enough. Mental training is as important as physical training if you truly want to learn how to communicate flawlessly with your horse. This is not a new discovery, far from it, the concept was familiar to horseback riders and trainers more than a thousand years ago.


Modern Masters confirm this belief in no uncertain terms. There are endless examples of equestrian quotes validating this statement. One of the most impressive and most complete is this one from Charles de Knuffy: “Horsemanship is not merely a matter of bodily skills, but is based on scholarship and, therefore, is a matter of the mind and intellect. Good horsemanship is based on proper character development and, therefore, is also a matter of mentality and spirit. Without the correct attitudes and insights, there cannot be the right sport.”


But what have quotes got to do with mental training?


Affirmations is one of the techniques that have been used for decades to change human behaviour. An affirmation is an emphatic statement that you make to yourself. Everyone uses affirmations, intentionally or unintentionally. You wake up in the morning, jump out of bed and exclaim “I am a great rider”. That is a positive affirmation. Or you drag yourself out of bed in the morning and whimper “I am a rotten rider”. That is a negative affirmation. Both statements determine the emotional state you are in and affects you confidence levels.


We can use affirmations to improve our riding, our relationship with our horse, our ability to perform under stress. Affirmations are used successfully in all areas of personal growth and self improvement.


It is estimated that an average person has 10,000 thoughts or images flashing through his mind each day. At least half of these thoughts are negative, such as “I struggle to learn new riding skills. I learn much slower now than when I was younger. My memory is getting worse and worse!” Unharnessed, a steady dose of worry and negative thoughts can severely damage your self-esteem.


For an affirmation to be effective, it has to conform to certain requirements. It has to be stated in the positive, present tense and in the first person. They should also contain an emotional and visual component.


An example of a good affirmation is: Using these principles an affirmation may look like the following: “It is deeply satisfying (emotional) that I (personal) respond (present tense) with wisdom, love, firmness, and self-control (positive) when my horse misbehaves.”


But how does horse quotes fit into this equation?


Equestrian quotes can form the foundation of extremely effective and influential affirmations. The same quote can have different effects on different people. The secret is to choose a quote that means a lot to you personally, and transform it according to the rules above into your own personal power-affirmation.


Take the following quote: “The smell of hay, leather and saddle soap immediately transports me back to the stables where I learned to ride as a child, bringing with them a warm glow of happiness and excitement.”


Whenever you feel stressed or tired, cheer yourself up with a similar affirmation. Remind yourself of a time when you felt happy, excited, motivated and positive. Create your affirmation in the present tense, make it personal, emotional, and visual.


Quotes can be used in many different ways to enrich your riding experience.
