Stephen Prierce Asks What Would You Do?

The lessons from Stephen Pierce at his blog DTalpha are excellent . Click Here listen to the message and my response below will make more sense to you. Stephen welcomes all comments

—————————————————

The answers come when we are grounded on who we are. Anger, resentment, stress serve no purpose other than to make us sick and in some cases become the source for some disease. However, all of us have traditional programming so while we still have an ego driven reaction it is best to let time pass in a situation like the letter which could be similar to a challenging situation with your child, job, business or someone you just met at a service station.

The severity of the situation will guide you to the time you need and the support of others. There is no substitute for a powerful network. My career accelerated the fastest when there was a continual stream of terrific people coming into my life. Now my business position is different but there is no shortage of outstanding people. Stephen Pierce for example provides guidance here and I am networked with him on www.facebook.com as well a other terrific people (join us).

On a higher level, for me it has been important to make a commitment to a life of peace and happiness. See several recent posts on this at http://www.prosperitytip.com

Wellness, happiness and prosperity to all

There are two reasons why companies ask me for business consulting assistance:
1. They know what to do but want an independent third party experienced business development consultant to drive the process as that approach demonstrates management’s commitment to achieving the goals.
2. Management understands the need for improved performance and understands they do not have the experience to implement what is required.
3. There is actually a third reason and that is where a business is in a crises situation and turnaround business consulting procedures need to be implemented fast. Nobody likes that situation, even the consultant. However, many companies can be salvaged with the right action. Think of the what goes into action when a person has a heart attack. Timing and action are the differences between life and death.

Be Well and Prosper,

The Exact Steps To Increasing Profits In A Challenging Economy

There is a very important fact to understand that applies to every business…”nothing stays the same”. The current business environment in the United State is one where the real estate market in general is one with declining property values, the value of the dollar is declining, and revenue for many companies is under pressure.

So!!!

Companies struggle because they continue to do the same things while everything around them is constantly changing. Every business, in theory, has a primary goal of increasing revenue and profits. The process of achieving that goal is no different in an economy that is experience major challenges in key sectors than in one that is vibrant. The introductory lessons in my 10 Minute MBA Program gives away the roadmap.

There are a huge number of examples of companies thriving and failing in both strong economies as well as weak ones. The only thing that matters for your business is what is happening in your business in relationship to the clearly defined performance gaols you have set. You have clearly defined business performance goals correct? These goals are in alignment with your own personal mission and lifestyle goals correct?

I am injecting the point about personal mission and lifestyle goals since I realized one of the key differences between many business successes and failures is the passion of the company’s leadership for the business and there is a direct link between the level of passion and the individual’s view of how the business contributes to the achievement of their personal mission.

For the record this goes way beyond achieving personal income objectives and includes: how much you really enjoy the business model; is your position one where you know you are using and developing the talents and skills you are passionate about and does your position fit in with how you want to develop the family, friends and community relationships that are important to you? I am now very focused personally and with clients on addressing the total picture of satisfaction and not just the business goals. Join the growing Prosperity Tip List that is FREE and you will be surprised at what this material will do for you personally.

Here is an example of a common situation that I have found in business. Business leadership will say, when the profits improve or when the cash flow improves or when this acquisition is done, or we fill this open position, or etc. then I will spend more time with my family or fishing or restoring my favorite antique or …well you get the idea. I submit to you the personal activity, whatever it is, never happens for those people even when those business milestones are achieved. If you are spending a lot of time with your professional mission, I hope you really love it. If you do not and you are frustrated because you are not spending time with your family, if you are not exercising like you should, if you are not enjoying your home, your car, your boat or your fishing pole then there is no way you will optimize the performance of your business. The negative personal energy will transmit throughout your organization and you will not consistently optimize your performance. If you have lifestyle issues, they need to be addressed. How do you think I know that?

Back to delivering what I promised with the headline of this article:

The Exact Steps To Increasing Profits In A Challenging Economy:

1. Set clear clear measurable performance goals for the next 12 months. For example: Revenue and profit goal is an increase of 30%.
2. Understand and instill in the culture that performance goals for the next 12 months are achieved by what happens today. All parts of your business need to be in sync with achieving the goals for the company. As and example what do sales need to be this week and this month to hit the 30% growth goal? What does gross margin need to be and with what expense structure for the 30% growth in profit goal to be achieved?
3. Each function within the business must have clearly defined performance goals and defined accountability for achieving those goals.
4. An objective performance monitoring process must be in place to identify quickly any areas of unusually positive as well as shortfalls in performance. For the revenue, gross margin and expense driver areas of the company this usually means a formal weekly meeting along with informal daily monitoring. There are exceptions and one is where there is a cash crunch situation. Cash flow is then monitored very closely daily.

There are two reasons why companies ask me for assistance:
1. They know what to do but want an independent third party experienced business development consultant to drive the process as that approach demonstrates management’s commitment to achieving the goals.
2. Management understands the need for improved performance and understands they do not have the experience to implement what is required.
3. There is actually a third reason and that is where a business is in a crises situation and turnaround business consulting procedures need to be implemented fast. Nobody likes that situation, even the consultant. However, many companies can be salvaged with the right action. Think of the what goes into action when a person has a heart attack. Timing and action are the differences between life and death.

Cracking The Secret To The Law of Attraction For You and Your Business

I have been developing a new part of my consulting practice that works with you on how to achieve optimal personal development while showing you how to dramatically increase your business results. I have never had anyone ask me if I felt I was on purpose in what I was doing. If they had and if I understood how to answer that question for myself, I am likely to not have done some of the deals I have done.

Recently we celebrated Valentine’s Day. Many people I know including myself have looked at a day like Valentine’s day and felt obligated about the day. The obligation crowd have their profession, jobs, or companies and know this is the day to purchase a gift, make dinner arrangements and tell someone close to them they love them. In the process the feeling often expressed is: whew – got the gift and dinner is set. Now I can get back to my work for awhile — oh my —I got to get out of here or I will be late and that will really upset my _______.

To The Point:

You cannot optimize your business performance if you are out of balance in your personal life. I know this from experience. My program now addresses the steps needed to maximize the performance of your business and your life. This enhanced direction will cause some people to leave my list, possibly limit my client base and my circle of influence. So be it. I have always been focused on what I believe to be the optimal formula for my clients. Nothing has changed except I have grown in my own personal life and I am showing others who are interested how I am doing it.

Commitment (posted to the blog developed by Stephen Pierce)

(Stephen operates a terrific blog and I highly recommend you consider what he is teaching. Visit DTAlpha)

In the book The Five Wishes the author asks the question: Imagine you are on your deathbed and you have just a short time before you leave the physical plane. A person walks up to your bedside looks at you and asks..has your life been successful?

Whatever part of your life that may have less than a positive response you have the opportunity to fix that now. The key is clear definition, commitment and action.

How does this have anything to do with question does the present create the future or does the future create the present? The future is absolutely created by the present energy you are sending out. If you are in a state of viewing everything as a problem, if you think everyone is out to get you, or everyone and everything is there in a less than perfect state so you are constantly angry about it then you will attract more of what will fuel that behavier.

So if you decide that a new career, a new or vastly improved relationship, a trip around the world or whatever it is that is part of your “yes answer” to the question has your life been successful, then commit right now to making that happen and take the steps necessary to make that happen. Whatever this list is – it becomes your commitment list. I cover this is greater detail at http://prosperitynow.prosperityroadmap.com/commitment.html

For me the real key was not in the intellectual understanding of what Stephen is saying and the congruency with my own belief system but how do I do this. I mean how do I really change who I am if who I have been has not met my expectations? I developed the Prosperity Now System to help me shift my thinking to what is possible and then achieve it. A growing group of people are finding this to be very helpful. Take a look at the most recent session at http://prosperitynow.prosperityroadmap.com/now.html which is all about the Power of Now – another one of Stephen’s points.

Notice the road many people we think of as being very successful have traveled. I personally know of a couple very successful people who have been shot, been bankrupt, had no resources and yet today are doing extremely well by most standards. Very inspirational. Thank you Stephen

How To Transform Your Business To An Accelerating Cash Profit Producing Machine

Are you a business owner, entrepreneur, direct marketer, internet marketer, network marketer or a person looking for the keys to success? If so this is must read information. Of course you don’t have to and you may not even “buy into” what I am presenting. I repeat: this is must read and must follow information.
——————————————————
Something has been missing. While I developed, implemented and proven the effectiveness of my 10 Minute MBA program, I knew that in a number of cases the success was not sustained. I rationalized this as a natural process of business owners slipping into to their previously established comfort zone.

In a way I used this seemingly natural regression as an opportunity to promote follow-on business consulting services. Now I understand that while ongoing services are valuable, the real reason for business performance to slip went deeper than the obvious failure to follow the established game plan that had been proven to work.

I also could see that in many instances that even when my Profit System was actively implemented and the business was hitting or even exceeding established milestones, something was missing.

When you are faced with a question where you don’t have the answer with confidence, what do you do? Well there is research of course and I did research this issue. Hundreds of hours of research. I also looked very carefully at those situations where people were hitting and exceeding the numbers consistently. I studied the contrasts.

I didn’t discover what I now feel is the answer until I examined my own experiences. I have been taught and influenced by my parents, my daughter, teachers, billionaires, priests, ministers, authors and very by all outward measures, successful internet and direct response marketers. There have been many other influencers but you get the idea. With all of this experience being taught and implementing a lot of what I was taught I found myself experiencing significant negative life situations. So I went to work to find out why. I went to work on myself.

This is not the forum for a description of the extent of that work. However, what I discovered literally transformed my life. This is an introductory article. I am suggesting you consider that if you are not on purpose there is no way for your business or you job to be satisfying – no way. Alternatively if you are on purpose and you use all the tools available to you, then not only will you be achieving your professional goals but more importantly you will be healthy, happy and at peace.

I suggest to you that being on purpose is more important than all the money you believe you want to make. Don’t misunderstand me. I want me and you to have all the abundance available for us while we are on this physical plane. I firmly believe there is unlimited abundance and I like that idea as much as anyone. At the same time, I remember the story about Andrew Carnegie in the book The Five Wishes. He was asked if his life was a success. He said he would give up all his money to have a truly happy marriage.

What is it that you wish for when asked if your life has been a success?

In this series of articles I will explore with you how personally being on purpose will make a dramatic difference in your life and your business. We will review a number of typical real life business examples and look at various outcomes as determined by the mindset of the person in the example. You will learn how to turn your business into a profitable cash producing machine.

10 Minute MBA + Prosperity Roadmap = ?

What Is Your Goal?

Time Freedom? For What?
Wealth? For What?
A Personal Relationship? For What?
Business That Hits Then Exceeds Profit Goals? For What?

As a very experienced business professional who has worked with billionaires and near paupers, I believe the goal has nothing to do with money or power or assets or business performance results. I submit to you that it is all about the feelings. The billionaires I know were actually not focused on the money. They have been and continue to be focused on creating a business that helps a lot of people.

Do not discount your idea of physical prosperity. I am very focused on helping companies achieve their profit potential. I am now very focused on helping the owners and managers of those companies experiece prosperity in the intended meaning of the word in addition to business performance goals.

Do not discount my message and think I am opposed to material things. A man who I hold in high esteem has multiple multi-million dollar properties and owns marvelous vehicles that cost more than most homes. My list of material things that I am manifesting is huge. At the same time my NOW focus is to feeling good in the moment. My now focus is on enjoying this instant.

To The Point

If I teach a company how to maximize their business performance (and I do that with the program outlined at 10 Minute MBA) but I don’t help the people of that company understand the principles of prosperity, then the company cannot possibly achieve it’s true potential. How do I know that? I know that because of what I have experienced. So we need to focus on those business principles that work to build business strength and the Universal Principles of being in bliss regardless of the results we are experiencing in the physical plane. Live the principles of and you experience your purpose.

10 Minute MBA + Prosperity Roadmap = Fulfilling Your Potentiality
By the way when you fulfill your potentiality you are calm, healthy, at peace and happy all the time. To me that is a great way to live your life. Do you think that is unrealistic? “If you think you can or you think you can’t, you are right.”

My Newest Program

I combine all the best business practices with the principles as taught by some of the greatest teachers in history along with modern day guides including: Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, Catherine Ponder, Joe Vitalie and more. I guide you to how to align you monetay prosperity goals with your life purpose.

I Know You Will Enjoy This:” I live with joyous gratitude and become more and more conscious of all that I have to be thankful for. I take time to appreciate all the wonderful things to be happy about”

May you experience the unlimited love, health, happiness and prosperity that is yours for the asking!

How To Achieve Quantum Success

There is a law of the Universe that gives us more when we appreciate what we have. This is published on Thanksgiving Day in the US. It seemed like a very fitting theme.

Charles Fillmore, co-founder of the Unity Church wrote “There is an inherent law of mind that we increase whatever we praise. The whole of creation responds to praise and thankfulness.”

The summary that follows is from Sandra Anne Taylor’s book titled Quantum Success: The Astounding Science of Wealth and Happiness. Her resource material and others will be used as the foundation for our Prosperity Now program that is starting in a couple weeks.

What Is Appreciation?

Sandra writes: It’s the intention to live with gratitude, the conscious acknowledgment of the value within and around us, the willingness to notice all the good things we already have, and the desire to experience all of life this attitude. To really create this vibration, your daily life has to resonate with the awareness and gratitude in the here-and-now.

Whether you realize it or not every single time that you experience happiness, underneath it all you’re in a state of appreciation. The Universal Laws don’t budge on this point: That which you focus on will expand in your life. And if you are constantly noticing what you lack, then the deficiencies in your life will be overwhelming.”

You can lift any concern or problem away with appreciation. I love the formula for eliminating doubt, fear, anxiety, depression. She writes ” whenever you’re feeling down about something, STOP what you are doing, take a moment to become aware of what you are thinking about and then DROP the negativity, whether it is worry, judgment, or dissatisfaction of some kind. Then say “I can let this go and just DROP it. Finally COP and attitude of gratitude right away. Find something you can be thankful for in your environment right away.” Try it today – no matter how large or small the issues STOP DROP COP works.

Appreciation Journal

Everyone participating in Prosperity Now will be developing their own success journal. Part of this journal will be the “Appreciation Section” Some may find using a separate appreciation journal works even better. It doesn’t matter. The guidance is that each day write your list of what you appreciate. Now if you are in the COP part of the formula above and can’t think of anything to be grateful for, refer to your list. See “It’s All Good!”

Appreciation Affirmations

The following is a great affirmation:

” I live with joyous gratitude and become more and more conscious of all that I have to be thankful for. I take time to appreciate all the wonderful things to be happy about”

May you experience the unlimited love, health, happiness and prosperity that is yours for the asking!
