Personal awareness training is a key area for anyone seeking success

personal awareness trainingPersonal 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“.

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.

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 & Charge What You’re Worth

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.
