Answer Upon - Awakening To Greatness - 7 Differences That Make the Difference To an Extraordinary Business Future
The interview follow-up letter is the last of the essential tools in your job-hunting bag. This is for more than one reason. The two obvious ones are the thank you and follow-up, and the other important reason is to fill in any holes that you suspect that you left open during the interview.1. Write The Follow-Up Letter Immediately: Once you return home, write the follow-up letter the same day as the interview. Being late with the letter can potentially reflect badly on you, or worse, make you be forgotten.2. Include An Incident That Occurred At The Interview: Make reference to any small but pleasant incident (or subject matter) that might have occurred at the interview that will catch the interviewers’ attention. How will this help you? This makes you stand out from the crowd and triggers memories of the entire interview. It gets the interviewer to think beyond the notes he or she made during the interview.3. Write To Every Interviewer: Writin
Walt Disney was a high school drop out who suffered bankruptcy, risked it all 4 times and suffered repeated financial and business disasters, yet persevered with faith and determination. If you want to reach a different destination, you must travel a different journey.
• How might your greatest challenges be the stepping stones to playing a much bigger business game?
• To what outside circumstances do you currently give away your power?
• Where are you giving less than 110% to your business goals? What attitudes or behaviors must you change to realize a different outcome?
Power of Decision-Making
Success is a decision. Leadership is a decision. The word “decide” comes from the Latin word “decidare” – meaning “to cut off all other possibilities.” Every great achiever makes a decision about the future they want t
Print ads generally have four written parts: headline, support ded with nothing but negatives. Others point to the enduring effectivenesscopy, call to action, company name and a visual. Visuals are usually more important than copy because they're more effective in attracting readers' attention and can instantly present your product or service in a dramatic and motivating way. Unless you're commissioning your own original artwork or photography, the visuals you'll use will probably be either drawings and photographs from your suppliers or non-copyrighted artwork (clip art) found in clip-art books and scrap-art computer programs. Choose the strongest visual among them, the one that best draws the eye and explains what you're selling, and then move on to copy. The most prominent piece of copy, your headline, must not only work with your visual, amplifying its meaning, but also attract attention with a word, phrase or sentence announcing a
* What makes great achievers great?
* What propels them to defy the odds and become legends in their own right?
* How can you unlock your greatness?
Read the autobiographies of great achievers in any field - athletes, entrepreneurs, business leaders – and there is one great common denominator. They know that success comes from the inside out.
External greatness derives from an internal source. It is not a goal you achieve. Rather it is a state of mind. An inner game where the only way you can claim victory is to elevate your mind.
There are no ordinary people, just ordinary minds.
Denise Corcoran
Through the tools of NLP (NeuroLinguistics Programming) and modeling, I have isolated the following 7 differences – the common inner game -- that propels each achiever to greatness. Learn and model their inner game, and you will expand your own playing field and accelerate your business success a thousand fold.
Power of Vision and Mission
The common thread among great business achievers is that success is not their ultimate goal. They build causes; not businesses. They are crusaders, propelled by a vision to make the world a much better place, with conviction and perseverance to make it happen.
“I was worth about over a million dollars when I was twenty-three; over ten million dollars when I was twenty-four; over a hundred million dollars when I was twenty-five and it wasn't that important because I never did it for the money.” Steve Jobs, CEO, Apple
• What is your compelling “why” for building your business?
• What passionate cause are you willing to fight for?
• In what ways is your business a “vehicle” to make this world a better place?
Power of Values
In NLP modeling, values are often the unconscious motivators that shape your future and drive your actions and behavior. Every great achiever is fanatical about the values for which their businesses stand.
Anita Roddick – CEO, multi-billion dollar franchise, The Body Shop – is one of the world’s most outspoken, controversial, and successful entrepreneurs of the age. Her passion for social and environmental causes – the basis for every decision she makes – reminds us that your can create profits with principles and “you don’t need to lose your soul to achieve success.”
• What core values does your business stand for?
• What business goals or actions are out of integrity with your core values?
• How can your core values differentiate your business in the marketplace?
Power of Beliefs
Your beliefs form your inner “rules” in how you play the “game.” Great achievers have inner “rule books” or beliefs that enhance their success, while most people have beliefs that keep them playing small.
For example, great achievers are typically rebel-thinkers. They believe that “rules are made to be broken.” Warren Buffet – the second wealthiest individual in the world – went against the norm by picking companies/stock based on their business value, rather than their stock value.
• What beliefs about yourself, what’s possible or how to play the “game” hinder your success?
• What “rules” (inner or outer) must you break to shift your thinking?
• Do you believe you were built for greatness?
Power of “Journey”
True greatness is less about the destination, and more about the journey. Read the autobiography of any great achiever, and you will find a story about defying the odds, overcoming the greatest of challenges, journeying on roads less traveled.
Walt Disney was a high school drop out who suffered bankruptcy, risked it all 4 times and suffered repeated financial and business disasters, yet persevered with faith and determination. If you want to reach a different destination, you must travel a different journey.

Six Sigma methodology is not a self-sustaining management tool perhaps unlike other technologies. It can only deliver the results subject to multiple variables and inputs such as deployment intensity and culture. Nonetheless, the results take around 4-6 months to show, depending on the projects selected and adherence to the tenets of the methodology.The Six Sigma audit process does not depart too much from the assessment process of the deployment, in order that implementation status is checked for its effectiveness. The audit procedure dwells on questionnaires and checklists which help auditors evaluate the status of respective processes on ‘as is’ condition which is later compared with ‘should be’ condition. The ‘should be’ condition is the reference standard clearly defined at the beginning of the deployment in the goal setting stage.The audit process in Six Sigma is pretty much comparable with a ISO 9000 audit. Many Six Sigma companies have successfully developed Six

CeMAP training is the first step to becoming a mortgage adviser, and some people are now looking at this step in the light of the recent increases in inflation and the corresponding increases in interest rates being imposed by the Bank of England. The question on everyone’s mind is, “Is CeMAP training still the key to a lucrative career in the mortgage industry, or has the demand dried up?”It is important when viewing the role of a CeMAP trained mortgage adviser, to examine the actual work that the adviser is engaged in. Typically, most mortgage advisers spend the majority of their working week looking at re-mortgage cases i.e. situations where people already have a mortgage and are looking to change their mortgage provider for some reason. The most common reason for clients to change is, of course, to obtain a better interest rate on their loan.The CeMAP training course covers this situation in some depth so that the Ce

Barely a day goes by without our hearing of another business closing. Perhaps the restaurant that you ate at just last week has now closed its doors or the gift shop that you loved has gone forever. Such instances are common to all of us.In today’s environment, one must wonder why does one business fail and another one “make it.” What does the successful business owner do that others don’t? Why was Sam Walton, the originator of Wal-Mart, so successful when thousands of other businesses fail each year?I bet most of you know of someone that has started a business and only a few months later has closed down. At one time or another, all of us have thought that we could slay the giant as David did. Nothing could slow us down. But then reality slapped us in the face and it proved harder than it looked.We thought that “hanging a shingle” would guarantee that we would have customers and that anyone would be crazy not to shop with us when (fill in the blank) down the s

So, you’ve been poking around on the Internet looking for a way to earn money working from home. You’re sick of your boss, your commute, your life-sucking job and want to work on your own terms. You’ve done a little research and decided that you have a computer and can type, so freelance transcription is maybe the way to go.What now?First, you should know that there is no magic pill. It does take time, effort, belief in yourself and perseverance.When I started applying for transcription positions and bidding on jobs, it took a solid two months before I landed a single $40 job. Granted, I was working full time and didn’t have a lot of time to devote to my search. But I can’t tell you how many times over the span of that two months that I considered giving up. Happy as I am now that I stuck with it, I could have easily given up and walked away from my work-at-home dream forever.But you can do it. You just have to be realistic about your strengths, wil

• To what outside circumstances do you currently give away your power?
• Where are you giving less than 110% to your business goals? What attitudes or behaviors must you change to realize a different outcome?
Power of Decision-Making
Success is a decision. Leadership is a decision. The word “decide” comes from the Latin word “decidare” – meaning “to cut off all other possibilities.” Every great achiever makes a decision about the future they want to create.
Despite dyslexia and not doing well in school, multi-billionaire and CEO, Virgin Company, Richard Branson, decided early on that he would make his mark in business. John F. Kennedy, Jr., made a decision – without knowing how - that we would send a man to the moon during his presidency.
• What decisions are you currently making about your business success?
• How might wishing and hoping be holding you back?
• What will it take to cut off all other possibilities to realize your desired business destiny?
Power of Daily Success Habits
Behind every extraordinary achievement is the discipline of daily success habits with huge payoffs over time. Any Olympic athlete will tell you about his/her days being filled with endless hours of hard work and practice. It is rare that success is overnight. Rather it is the culmination of consistent small steps over time.
Warren Buffet plays monopoly for endless hours and memorizes over 200 annual reports a year. Donald Trump reads the newspapers by 6 am every morning.
• What current habits get in the way of your business success?
• What new habits must your cultivate instead?
• If one of your heroes/heroines was running your business, what consistent daily actions would they take to achieve success?
Power of Self Identification
How you “see” and identify yourself are the single most powerful influences on your future success. Great achievers, at some point, awaken to their true nature.
While they learn from their past, they do not let the past define them. Nor do they let their current circumstances dictate their future. It is their constant quest to reinvent themselves, their lives and their businesses that catapult them above the rest.
Despite an early life of abuse and poverty, Oprah Winfrey knew that she was destined for greatness. The breadth and depth of her personal evolution – including, humanitarian, 34 time Emmy winner, chairman of Harpo Entertainment, outstanding actress, political lobbyist and most successful woman in TV history – reminds us of our own boundless potential to become more than we currently are.
• How do you let your past define you and your business success?
• What pivotal moment in your life has had the greatest impact on your self-identity?
• If you were to write a script of who you want to become, how would that script read?
Right now, the only thing keeping you from your own greatness is that part of you – your mind -- is ‘asleep.” You are boxed in by your own “inner rules” and the boundary conditions of our thinking.
The good news is: by changing the rules of your inner game, you will wake up to your own extraordinary potential and achieve success you never thought possible. I invite you to take time to answer the above questions and identify which of the above 7 levels is most holding you back.
