Personal awareness training is a key area for anyone seeking success

Personal awareness training features pretty strongly in my own development, and so it’s not surprising that permeates through to my team coaching right now. So many people are trudging through life without passion or purpose, lost, confused, anxious, even scared; they hope things will get better but fear they won’t.

It’s incredibly sad. I hate that for them. And so I love it when someone says ‘enough’ and looks for a way to take back control to live their life on their own terms again. This is why people go looking for a home business, they take a stand, dare to walk a different path.

So why do 95% of those people never make a success of a home business. Why those statistics? And what makes the biggest difference between those that hit the big incomes and those that fail to turn a profit at all? Well, I know exactly what makes the difference. It’s all that personal baggage that we all bury deep within – it weighs us down.

Those that really achieve success are the ones who get crystal clear on their true purposes and passions and use that to drive themselves forward, to build a business with a machine inside of them and to inspire others to be the most powerful versions of themselves to.

Drawing on some of the key concepts I’m learning in a new life achievement course, Elevate by Avant, I ran a webinar for my team yesterday where I covered some of the core actions for a successful home based business using the “Be, Do, Have” principle of personal awareness training.

This was the running order:

1# Organising your business machine for consistent action
2# Building your value/unique brand with integrity & transparency
3# Attracting the aces in the pack by confidence & self-belief
4# Sharing your journey for powerful content driven marketing
5# Finding your inner drive through continuous personal discovery.

The common theme here is personal awareness training. The more in tune you are with who you are, what you’re about, what you stand for, what fulfills you in life and in work … the more you can influence and attract like-minded people to you – that’s at the heart of what Mike Dillard coined “magnetic sponsoring“.

You can watch my training webinar yourself here.

Actor Will Smith said it well: “In my mind, I’ve always been an A-list Hollywood superstar. Y’all just didn’t know yet.” Will talks about possibilities and how at age 13, he made a choice against all odds and then followed through in dedication, persistence and commitment to make it happen.

Personal awareness training and personal development is rarely taught in schools, yet it’s a life changing learning process you can teach yourself through simple, proven, daily disciplines known to influence greatly your inner voice.

Hope this helps. Leave me a comment below about your own experiences of personal awareness training and the power within you in your mindset and actions.

What do I mean by find your true self?

Living in the Moment

Let me explain.

Most of my adult life I have been searching for what it is I’m supposed to do on this planet.

You know the kind of thing that fulfills you when you do it, or even get close to doing something similar to it – without realising what ‘it’ is, because you don’t really find your true self when you’re growing up – if you’re lucky, that comes later.

So much of my study and career was just someone else’s direction. I don’t mean my parents made me study – and I went all the way to PhD and that was my choice. What I mean is that I just kind of followed a programme, like following your nose in front of you, because I didn’t have a clear idea of my own what I wanted to do with my life.

Sad as that all sounds – and it’s a familiar story for a lot of people I know – I did pretty well for myself. I had a brilliant career, and over the years moved from researching stuff to supporting stuff then supporting people and developing people, from professional development to personal coaching. I started to see a a pattern … but still quite hazy.

On a personal level, I’ve also been fortunate. I have several good quality relationships that are standing the test of time, and a soul mate, best friend husband who accepts me for all that I am. I start to find my true self through his eyes sometimes – he probably knows me best of all, my demons, my passions. I also have a lovely family, an amazing teenage son and sweetheart of a daughter (even though she is severely disabled, she brings great joy – hard work but great joy).

About a year ago, I came across ‘Start With Why’, a thought provoking book by Simon Sinek – see a previous blog post on finding your why – that was very enlightening process and took me a step further on my ‘find your true self’ journey. I even heard Simon speak at a marketing event, have a one-to-one chat with him, and of course got my book signed, a real groupie! I think he’s amazing and he inspires me still.

Couple this to what I’ve been coaching and training on for the past two years at least, which is the whole ‘attraction marketing’ and ‘personal branding’ and worlds and concepts are really starting to collide, exciting stuff

So what I’m already excited about with Avant’s Elevate course is the chance to really start to look deep into my own pysche and find my true self. Great timing as I arrive on Saturday at my 47th birthday. I’m discovering some of the things that make me tick, that bring me inner peace, happiness and fulfilment. My goodness, that Elevate comes within 72 days and gets you close to the kind of personal awareness and sense of my ‘calling’ I’ve spent decades trying to unravel, it will be worth ten times its price tag.

Just one Me, Myself & I exercise (a portion of day 4) was been incredibly powerful, if you really focus on exploring who is that person looking back at you. I had a chat with my son today and he’s going to give that exercise a go as well. He was really intrigued by the ‘find your true self’ concept – a good sign. I think he will find the Transform event very enlightening – is he old enough to come with me?

So I invite you to find your true self through personal awareness coaching – click the link for info – it’s powerful and enlightening.

What you’re going to achieve when you invest in yourself through personal achievement coaching will mean you are more likely to succeed than 95% in the home business & network marketing industry.

Quick video to explain what’s in front of you here.

1# The key difference to your income that top tier, direct sales products add (whatever else you’re marketing) to making your business profitable FAST.

2# How our personal achievement courses are changing the success of home business owners across the globe by improving people’s awareness, sense of happiness & FULFILMENT, and financial situation.

3# Finding the right opportunity goes deeper than just the products and compensation plan. I fully believe that having the right mentorship, training and team of like-minded leaders is vitally important for SUCCESS.

Develop a USP – it’s the only way to market in today’s internet age.

It’s all about VALUE. What’s the perceived value of what you offer compared to the rest of the herd. This is exactly the thing I’ve been talking about with a tonne of people lately.

Key message for internet marketers … if you can figure out & develop a USP, people will seek you out. What’s your unique, interesting or noteworthy contribution to helping people solve a particular problem they have right now.

As Seth Godin says in this superb, 8 min video below: “… then they will find you and pay extra, because you’re not the same but cheaper, you’re different and more expensive.”

The whole system has changed, are you prepared?

Does this resonate with you too? I’d love to hear from you on how small businesses develop a USP.

2011 has been an amazing year for wealth building success.

I genuinely hope that some  of the ideas, insights, training and sharing has helped to inspire you to become the entrepreneur inside of you. It’s a calling you cannot simply switch off.

Investing in your future is as much about investing in yourself as it is in investing in a business or other wealth creation venture.

It’s that time of year when people start thinking about the year they just experienced.

Did it go the way you wanted?

Did you achieve all of the personal and financial goals you set for yourself?

Did you even set and write down your goals?

I speak to hundreds of people every week who are looking to start their own home business without considering the importance of investing in yourself.

Most have looked at a range of opportunities and find it hard to know what to trust, what will work, what they are suited to. Many people judge a business venture on start up costs or whether they ‘like’ the products. In my experience of coaching people, the company, the products, the marketing, the support, the training are only part of the equation. The main ingredient is YOU.

Are you cut out to be successful building and running your own home based business?

Do you have a flair in sales and marketing? Do you like helping people to find solutions?

Are you committed to investing in yourself, willing to learn and develop new skills and attitudes?

In the home business and direct sales industry, there is something almost obsessive and hungry about being an entrepreneur that only some companies can nurture properly. You need the right business model and marketing know-how underneath you, but you also need to best personal and leadership development to become a top producer and high earner.

So investing in your future means developing your own strong mission in life, your purpose, your why, and use this to fuel an effective mindset and strategy to get the things you want in life. Most people don’t have that thirst for personal development required to achieve big success, that hunger for self-improvement will take you very far in business, as in life.

If you want to find out what it REALLY takes to make it in this business AND learn some valuable insights about what’s happening in our global economy and how you can protect your money and grow it to financial prosperity in the future, I’d like to invite all my blog readers to an exciting one time event.

Have you ever noticed – I mean REALLY noticed – how positive impact events happen and how you can control when and how often they happen?

Most people only see this as a negative phenomenon and talk themselves into doom and gloom like this:

“I’m down in the dumps and can’t seem to snap out of it.”  That sucks.

“Bad things always happen to me.” Hmm.

“Bad things come in threes.” Wow!

Let me give you an example of positive impact events. I first noticed this in a positive sense. I must have been in my late teens, I was out shopping – I always remember this. I was in a bad mood and as I came out of a store, a lady held the door open for me. I muttered ‘thank you’ – cos I was brought up polite – and she answered cheerfully: “You’re welcome”!

Well, the rest of that day, I was cheery. That one positive vibe, that one event changed my outlook completely.

So next time, I decided I’d test out my positive impact events theory to see if I could CONTROL that switch, to create positive impact events MYSELF.

(Oddly enough, just the experience so far and the decision to do this little test meant I had to wait a while until I was in a bad mood again!)  But on that occasion, I made the first move. I went out of my way to make a positive gesture to someone else – I think it was a compliment – ‘that colour looks nice on you’ kind of thing.

It was an epiphany. My first lesson in the power of positive mindset and positive action. I FELT GREAT! And so did the girl I complimented.

The lesson in this is that when you’re in a negative spin, and the only way seems down, you have to shake it up. Give the positive chance to shine out.

More on positive impact events in my ezine. I’m on a roll thinking about how these things compound like mercury beads and everything flows towards your most important ideas and goals.

Create positive impact events in your life and in the lives of others – share & comment below – love to hear your thoughts on this.

Developing the right mindset for success is something you hear a lot about.

It’s a vital part of what I focus on in my coaching club too. And for good reason too.

Well, I just got  an  email from a fellow marketer and it gave me a great idea about how to explain something to you about mindset in business and marketing.

There’s a bit of a dichotomy when you’re starting out, between having money (by making sales), or having meaning in your life (by developing a passion for what you sell and why you do it).

Watch this 5 minute video to see how to bring the two together…

A lot of people go for the meaning ….. they like to help other people, you know like teachers, volunteers and do that kind of thing … but the problem is that kind of work doesn’t usually get you much of the money side.

Or you go for the money and that’s often all you’re doing it for, commuting up and down the motorway, working long hours, hating your boss and so forth.

There’s a hierarchy to life and work, a mindset for success, some people never build a balance. Would you agree?

Meaning  #1   purpose – own/others

Mindset #2 – goals/self-improvement

Money  #3   – reward/ living your dream

What if you can bring all of these together, at one time? How fulfilling would you feel?

I’m recognising when I speak to people on the phone, who have enquired about my business opportunity, you want to feel really good about the meaning and mission of the products you’re selling or the company you’re representing, and you’re not going to move forward unless you do — that’s not necessarily true for all of you, but this is what I’m finding … even if it can make you a bucket load of money.

Well, I have to say this is exactly why I believe so strongly in the mission behind Wealth Masters International, because for me it makes both business sense and emotional sense. Wealth, health and wisdom.

Talking at length with a couple of my applicants lately, it got me thinking … that maybe they don’t have the right mindset for success. They take the product out of the equation ….they see the product as something they HAVE to buy to join the business. They focus on the money, on what you have to pay out, and on sales. And that’s where things go wrong.

Being all about the money is not an effective mindset for success.

What if the product IS the solution to developing the mindset for success?

This is whole point of our personal awareness & development programs. You are buying a solution to success – a way to grow on a deep personal level – meaning, mission AND money.

It’s the ultimate business in a box…. personal development, success training, a top tier direct sales business model, an internet marketing system, a  world class income plan, inspiration, coaching, mentoring.

It’s self-improvement across all those important aspects of your life – mind, body and money – the full package.

So when you buy the product, you can USE it, it benefits you, and you feel good about it, and about referring others to it. When you buy the product, you are investing in yourself, and you can experience the VALUE of that product.

And the more YOU grow and success, the bigger pay out for you, reflected in your renewed sense of purpose and you start living out your dream.

When someone feels good about the product, they feel good about YOU and your leadership and this is where they decide they too can be successful building a business.

I want you to learn how to create a buzz around what you do, create your own story around your experience of the product, the business, and feel really good about it while teaching you some great stuff that’s going to change the way you approach challenges in your life, and the results you’re going to get.

I just love to travel – that’s one of the things I wanted to do by having my own business. It’s the freedom to travel, because you have the time and the means.

Without the ties of a job, boss, office, employees …. you can actually work anywhere, anytime. It’s home based, beach based, pool based, mountain based … whatever. That’s been my mindset in business.

Here’s a snapshot of my travels …what can YOU see YOURSELF doing???
