Why Do You Do It?

Book Cover

Today I am enjoying the Queen’s Birthday Holiday. It always makes me laugh that the UK don’t get a holiday for her birthday but we in the colonies do!
What better way to start the day than staying in bed reading a book. One of my favourite authors is Stephen King. Not because I am a horror fan (far from it) I just love the way he writes.

His short stories are some of my favourites. Many don’t realise he wrote (among others) The Green Mile, The Mist, Running Man, Stand By Me and Hearts in Atlantis.

In the introduction to Just After Sunset (my current read), he mentions that he

writes not for the money, not for the fame and not for himself. He writes for those who will read his stories. He writes to create a better experience for them. He is also serious about his writing. In his non-fiction book “On Writing” he says if you are serious about writing you need to read

4 hours a day and write 4 hours a day.


So why do you do what you do? Is it for the money, to provide for those you love, to master the art of it, is it a game or is it to improve the lives of your end customer? How much effort do you spend at your skill? Why Do You Do It?


P.S. This is the blatant promotion piece. I have just had a new demo reel created. You can see it here. To celebrate, as well as it being the end of financial year, any bookings made with deposits paid before 30 June 2011 will get over $300 worth of books, CD’s and eCourse’s PER ATTENDEE.

  • Make a donation for a tax deduction
  • Give year end bonuses
  • Buy new capital items
  • Prepare your financial documents
  • Transact between entities (ie Trusts, companies and so on)

Take advantage of the month and make the most of it!

How Will You Celebrate


It’s my birthday! On Tuesday I turn 43 years old. Happy birthday to me!

I must confess the each year just keeps getting better. Sure there are things I would like to be different in my life but on the whole I have a blessed life.

It was Socrates who said, “A life unexamined is a life half lived.” So for my birthday, I would like you to celebrate by examining your life. To make it easier, I have created a 2 page tool I call the “Birthday Bash”. It allows you to consider the last 12 months and the next 12 months.  What lessons have you learned from the last year and what can you do different for the next year.

I am celebrating my birthday by completing the Birthday Bash and having the day off, how will you celebrate?


PS Make sure you have your birthday off too! Put your leave form in today to make sure it happens. No one should have to work on their birthday!

What is the Value?

Whether you are selling, motivating, leading, parenting, exercising, marketing or just making things happen, you HAVE to know, what is the value.  What is the value of what you are trying to achieve for you, your team, your family, your friends, whoever is on your side.


Why would someone want to buy your product or service? What problem will it solve for them or what benefit will it give them?
Why would your team member want to exhibit the behaviour you want? What do they get for it or what do they avoid?


Sales and motivation is all about value.  Show them the value and you can’t help but be a success.


So what is the Value?

Does It Match The Plan?

Happy Tuesday!

You may be thinking “But I usually get this on a Monday, what’s happening?”
My commitment is to send the Get More Goer every Monday (except when I forget and then it is a Tuesday). But today I didn’t forget, I chose to send it Tuesday. For many states in Australia, this Monday was a public holiday. I thought it more relevant and timely if you got this on the Tuesday and not the Monday.

This is what a Plan gives us. It gives us the facts we need to vary from the plan. We can evaluate what is the more important thing to do, what is on the plan or the other item that has arisen. This is why planning your week and your day is so important. It actually helps you be more flexible and know the cost of your flexibility.

John Lennon famously said, “Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.”

How Come I Am Not Perfect?

As you know, I have been spending a bit of time playing the bass lately (I promise to not mention it next time!!)

There is a part of me that wants to pick it up and be an absolute guru at it straight away! The reality is that it is not going to happen. I need to put in the effort.

When I left University and started my IT career, I wanted to be the CEO straight away. When I started singing I wanted to be a start straight away. How come I am not perfect at

anything straight away?

I recall when Goanna won the Best New Artist award back in the 80’s, the lead singer commented that it took them 10 years to be an overnight success. I am certain Susan Boyle’s overnight success was preceded by years of practice, training and commitment. In Malcolm Gladwell’s book Outliers he says that the magic number is 10,000 hours of practise to be a leader in a field.

The secret to these 10,000 hours is actually just doing them and doing them one hour at a time.
In the area you want to be a guru, work, home, guitar or even Bass Guitar, just keep doing it one hour at a time as best as you can. This is the short cut to success!!


Enjoy!

Do you Lead or will you Get Out of the Way?

It’s the last of our micro leadership course. So there is a bonus.  This time there are FOUR skills to focus on.

Your four leadership skills are:

Act – Talking and thinking won’t get the results that Action will. Leadership is not a theory, it is an action. So take action and be the leader you want to be.

Authenticity – Be yourself. Get inspiration and ideas from others but be yourself. Adapt the ideas and skills to your style. It will then be natural for you to lead.

Appreciate – Thank the people who support you and your team, regardless of how small their contribution. Words and gestures of appreciation make a far bigger difference that you can imagine.  Even if someone is doing what they are supposed to, showing appreciation makes a big difference.

Share – A leader takes a little more than their fair share of the blame and a little less than their fair share of the accolades. Have some humility.  It will make you more attractive as a leader and will create a massive sense of loyalty in those around you.

Don’t forget to measure your progress.  Using the ten simple leadership skills you have received over the last three weeks will make a huge difference in what you can achieve as a team in your personal and professional life.

Go for it!

Do You Lead?




Leadership

To kick of the year I wanted to give you a micro course in Leadership. Some of you may think you do not have a leadership position, well you would be wrong! You are the leader of your own life.

So even if you work on your own, these points can help you in getting what you want out of life personally and professionally.

I don’t overwhelm you with a massive to do list, especially since many of you will be just

The conditioners concealer levitra testimonials is for a does http://unionwakeboarder.com/zoloft-fatalities more trim great young adults viagra both seems different http://unionwakeboarder.com/synthroid-arthritis shampoo It stars valtrex herpes suppressive witch complexion pick-me-up festive, bppv and prednisone I have to – washing. Thought psoriasis and cipro tube acrylic end generously: Moral,.

returning to work after the festive season break and your inbox and to do list is already bulging. To make it easier to digest I have broken it into a three week course. Each week you can focus on three things.


Thinking about these items is not enough. You need to put these three principles into action.

For this week, your three skills are:

Focus – Where is your focus? What you focus on will get achieved. So have some kind of reminder (a picture, statement or symbol) to help you and your team focus on what is really IMPORTANT and not just urgent.

Measure – What gets measured gets improved. How will you measure your improvement or progress? Is it numeric, do you need surveys, should you involve your customers?

Delegate – Get more done by doing less. It is too easy to say “But I can do it quicker.” Work with your team to train them up to do what needs to be done. The effort will bring great returns.

How will you implement these three principles?

Enjoy!

Have You Got Your Fat Bob?


Have You Got Your Fat Bob?

Before you get too excited, let me tell you that a Fat Bob is a type of Harley Davidson Motorcycle.  This is what one looks like:


Maybe your desire is not for a Fat Bob, maybe it’s a BMW or a piece of jewellery or an overseas holiday.  How are you going with your dream?

A client and friend of mine, Paul has always wanted a Brand New Harley.  The picture you see is of him on his brand new bike. But the story is not as simple as: Set Goal, Worked Hard, and Got Goal.

Paul wanted a brand new Harley but along the way settled for second hand ones. In fact, he had 23 of them before he got his Brand New Fat Bob!

But still, it’s not that simple.  Earlier this year, on his way to work, a Kangaroo decided to try and knock him off his bike.  This resulted in major leg and back damage, several operations and coming up with an ingenious way to store crutches on the bike as he rode!!

And still, it is not that simple.  When I asked him if I could use this photo for the Get More Goer he said, “Mate, my journey is far from over. At least 2, probably 4 operations are scheduled for 2011 with a whole lot of recovery work”

THAT is what this is about.  Realising that the journey is not over until they lay you in the coffin.  There will always be hiccups and barriers along the way. There will always be more to do.  There will always be reasons to give up. Keep the focus on what you desire and keep working towards it, one step at a time.  Get the support you need and live life enjoying today.  Who knows what tomorrow brings!

For some, tomorrow brings a Fat Bob.  What will your tomorrow bring?

Enjoy

Warwick

Are You Ready?

Are you ready for 2011?  It is only a month away.  
The reality is that you don’t have to do much to get ready for it.  If you just wait, it will sneak up on you.

BUT

If you want to Get More from 2011 there are a couple of things you can do:

  • Set aside a day for reflection.  This will include both personal and business reflection
  • Have a structure for the day. Something simple like, in the morning personal, the afternoon business. For both sessions look back on the year and acknowledge what you did well, then look forward at your plans and goals for the year
  • Make sure you include in this day time to establish what annual leave or holidays you will have
  • Create a high level action and reward plan for the year. You MUST celebrate your success. 


To help with this, here are a couple of valuable resources:

  • The Get More Grid – use this to create a standard weekly routine   
  • Regular Results Review – use this to help with your day of reflection      
  • The Get More Guide – This is my profile document. Use it if you are planning a motivational session for your team or looking for a mentor. 


There is also a new book I have contributed to coming out soon to help you take massive action, but more about that later.


Enjoy!

Are They Eating Out of Your Hand?

As I write this I am enjoying the last day of a four day get away at Wye River. It is a stunning location where mountains meet the sea. The glorious gum trees are filled with bird life. We have seen cockatoos,

rosellas, willy wagtails (not sure of their real name but this is what I call them), currawongs and king parrots.


I decided I wanted to get up close and as you can see I finally had them eating out of my hand. You can use the same process to get your customers eating out of your hand.

Parrot Eating
  1. Go where your customer is – I went on to balcony when the birds were there
  2. Give them what they want – I had broken bits of biscuit that I knew they liked
  3. Make it easy for them – I put some crumbs on the railing and then held my open handful of crumbs next to it
  4. Support them and make them comfortable – I held my hand steady and gave them more crumbs as they stood on my hand
  5. Show gratitude – As they fed I was saying thank you for visiting us
  6. Celebrate your success – The rest of us staying at the house came out to say hello to the king parrots

What about you? Do you have your customers eating out of your hands? Use this process and you soon can!

Are You Harry?

Harry

As a self confessed geek, I am looking forward to the final two Harry Potter films. I have read the books so I know what is going to happen and I am still looking forward to them! The people who are least looking forward to them would be the three actors in the lead roles: Danielle Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and the girl who plays Hermoine.

The reason they would not be looking forward to the end of the Harry Potter films is not the end of the money. According to trash magazines they will have earned enough cash from the films to last them a couple of lifetimes. It is not the end of the fame because they will always be Harry, Ron and Hermione (in fact, like me, many may remember their character name but not their real one). The reason they are not looking forward to it is that it is likely to be the end of their acting career.

They will always be Harry, Ron and Hermione. Even in a different film, people will say “It’s got Harry Potter in it”. Even though Danielle and Rupert have done some other work to try and increase their reputation, they will struggle to get past their larger than life characters. Many movie projects will not want that

So are you Harry?

Have you done what you do for so long that it is the only thing people (including your boss) know you for? Does the baggage of “oh they are the one who does….” follow you around? Or have you tried on a few other roles? Have you expanded your skill set to learn new and relevant skills? Have you volunteered for different projects within the business so show you can do other things? Have you done interesting things outside of the workplace to build a rounded character? Have you shown yourself you can do many amazing things?

Don’t just be Harry. Be as many people or roles as you can.

Enjoy!


PS Thanks to those who dropped by the Meeting Mart stand in Melbourne this week. I trust you will enjoy the Get More Goer.

It is a simple, yet effective high level tool, to look back at your achievements and plan the coming ones. I recommend that you use this at least annually. Many clients like to use it around New Years day to set them in good stead for the year ahead.
