Saw somewhere at a social media: story how a failing resto was turned around by a fertile mindset

Be better than before, than yesterday...

A rich expanding mindset, employing reverse thinking can turn around a failing business and make money for the owners.  After all, capital is not money.  It is from capito - head that makes money.  A thinking fertile mind know how to source money and create more.  

There was story and this was gleaned from Mashabook Success Strategies that tells of the boss and his assistant who just got from a seminar in BGC.  The boss asks the assistant what her desire were:  to get a LV bag worth P300,000 and a car.  The boss said he would nt do that.  May be he will give her a business.  

So they stopped by a Korean restaurant that does not have much traffic.  So the boss asks the owner how much would he sell the failing Korean restaurant.  The latter said P1.8 million    So the boss proposed a deal;    How about giving you an option money for P300,000 (the money for the LV bag)  and we try the business for one month    If it is good we continue and fulfill the P1.8 million purchase price;   if not we forfeit the P300,000 and consider it a rent .  The Korean resto owner agreed it being seemingly a perfect risk free deal.    

The boss said to the assistant.  Now you own the resto.    But follow what I say.  The assistant panicked:  how will I able to pay the remaining P1,500,000?

1.  Tomorrow, place this ad announcement:   "  Free soju that you can carry with one hand."  

2.  Free soju some more for those who will publish this on tiktok instagram  or FB;   they can bring their friends.

3.  Soon the resto was buzzing with activity with those availing of free soju promo

The next problem:  what if the prospects just availed of the free soju?

People skills, EI is important

It is about getting better...

Somebody is selling his/her book online regarding People Skills.   People with technical skills can not hope to improve climb up the organization unless their people skills improve.   Related to Michael  Gerber book on same topic.

Thus common examples:

     1.   You will have nice parking spot if you buy the parking attendant coffee;

     2.   The waiter in an event will give you best choices if you tip him/her generously up front (not after

            having a meal.

    3.    If you treat a food server badly, or say stewardess, she/he may spit on your drink or coffee

Success is people.  Deal with them well.  Thus "How to Win Frineds and Influence People"   is a good book

Grit and determination - the stuff that champions and successful persons (and even heroes) are made of

It is about getting better...

Many authors and successful person summarize this in two words:   GRIT and DETERMINATION

Psychologists mention this, movie like the "The Chairman" a movie about Ray Kroc mention this.

The late Calvin Coolidge whose famous quote on determination has made it to the boardrooms and MBA classroom must be smiling in his grace.

This is the same stuff why we admire why we sympathize and empathize with heroes and heroines who overcome, solve challenges after one another in their adventures and stories.  How we wish we have the same strength and determination to overcome the same daily

That is why this post believe that teaching MBA alone with the technical stuff cant alone produce successful entrepreneurs and business leaders    They have to be build up grit and determination over time.  And harsh challenging business problems alone can teach them that.

Our education should not be merely be about learning facts and information but also about being a good person

It is about getting better...

For two successive days, I was disappointed with two events:   Two appointments where the other party was a no show

The first involved a student leader whom we gave the privilege of going over our operations for their capstone project.   She made an appointment with me for the presentation. She did not appear although

her group members did.  She claimed she had more important things to attend to as student council

leader

The other one involved a business.   The one who set up an appointment wanted to know what project

we can do to his inherited property.    He did not appear.

This post wonders how these people can be successful if they could not even keep an appointment and/or keep their word

Charice Pempengcos rise to stardom, and singing beside her idol Celine Dion is a worthy example of goal setting

It is about getting better...

Rizal Philippines
December 9, 2017








This post does not care much about going on of celebrities.  I must  have missed plenty on stories about success, motivation and hard work.   However, while browsing through  You Tube videos, one caught my attention that says, the little girl who sang captured the audience much more than the famous singer who guested her.  That was Charice who sang with Celine Dion at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Truly it was a culmination of a dream for Charice, (who is now Jake Zyrus- singing career over?) who said she wanted as a child to sing with Celine Dion. Well, Oprah sponsored her being guest of Celine.

At the video, there were narration on the video that said Celine had  to spend 7 minutes to relax the visibly nervous Charice.

But when Charice sang, she showed who was the master of the stage.  She had control of the high notes, the gestures, the volume and expression. And Celine could only stand in awe and amazement.

That she has changed her gender or name, does not matter.  It was her moment, one moment in time, which she and the entire Filipino nation savored and which brought our country more honor. To trace what Charice did is a true road map to be successful and great.

Truly amazing for Charice at that time.  Proud to be Pinoy...

"How to get respect" from Craig Ballantyne

Repost from  New American Dream

We can get respect if we are wealthy or successful 

How do you become successful?  Know more from Craig Ballantyne



"I want you to know I have a deep respect for you. Your success matters to me. I hope that you have all the success you want right now. But if you don't have the respect and prosperity you want, I want to help you get it.

We've all been there. Maybe it's being scared to check your bank balance. Or maybe it's avoiding the "how's work" conversation with your in-laws. But we've all had that sinking feeling of "not being good enough" one time or another.

You can change that, and I can help you do it."

The Secret of Success in Strategy - Applied

It is about getting better...

 

I was watching this HBO show on Pacific and there was this Marine General giving a pep talk to his Non Com officers prior to their leaving for their mission in the Pacific.  And he mentioned the greatest secret in strategy -  that the success of strategy lies in the execution by the middle managers - the sargeants.  He said that their success lies in the hands of the non com.  And the the sargeants agreed with his simple and yet powerful talk.

Thus the technical strategy books have to be junked in favor of:

1 Mintzberg commitment and collaboration by people towards a goal

2  Peter Senges shared vision and learning.

3.  Sun Tzu

4. Gen Giap

Without that common bond/and sharing of passion towards the goal, there cant be strategic success.  No swot, no EFE or IFE.  Just success, victory, victory.

Thus said the one the most brilliant modern strategist, the late Gen Giap of North Vietnam who defeated both the US and French Armies, despite superiority in numbers, technology and firepower.

                                                 


                                            

Success leaves tracks [new video inside]

Subject: Success leaves tracks [new video inside]

Home Page  |  Personal Development  |  Sales Training  |  Business Training  |  Time Management  |  Leadership Dear Jorge, Many years ago I began searching for the secrets of success and what I discovered was this interesting principle: success leaves tracks. A wise man who had studied success for more than 50 years concluded that the greatest success principle of all was, "learn from the experts." Learn From the Experts If you want to be a big success in any area, find out what other successful people in that area are doing, and do the same things, until you get the same results. When I studied the interviews, speeches, biographies and autobiographies of successful men and women, I found that they all had one quality in common. They were all described as being "extremely well organized." They used their time very, very well. They were highly productive and they got vastly more done in the same period of time than the average person. Be Both Effective and Efficient High performing men and women were both effective and efficient. They did the right things, and they did them in the right way. They were constantly looking for ways to improve the quality and quantity of their output. As a result, their contribution to their organizations was vastly higher and therefore much better paid, than the contributions of the average person. Action Exercises Here are two things you can do immediately to put these ideas into action: First, develop a study plan today to learn from the experts in your field. This can save you years of hard work. Second, decide what the most important thing to do is, and then decide how to do it. I created a special video for you called "Habits of Success." You can watch it here. In this video I explain what the habits of success are, and the 7 keys to peak performance. Learn the habits of success here.

Trouble viewing this email, click here.   Follow Us On Twitter --  Join Us On Facebook --  Visit Our Blog Issue # 166 - February 15, 2013 Hi J Some say success happens by hard work and dedication. Others say it happens by luck. The truth is it's a combination of both. Success and luck usually go hand-in-hand. It's the experiences you encounter in life that drive you to a specific action that defines who you are, both in your personal life and financial success. In today's Main Essay, Craig Ballantyne, the editor of Early to Rise and Financial Independence Monthly newsletters, shares his views on how setbacks make you lucky. It's these setbacks that drive you to great action and success. In the Check It Out section, you will learn more about the one secret to building wealth. Once you learn this secret, you can rapidly earn financial freedom. We hope you enjoy this issue of the Thriving Business Newsletter. Cheers, Jynell Berkshire Associate Publisher ThrivingBusiness.com Inc. The Truth About Luck and Success By Craig Ballantyne Luck has been in my corner since day one back in 1975. I was extraordinarily lucky to be born in Canada into a lower-middle class family. Lucky enough to have been educated in the years of the first home computer, to have come of age as the first Internet generation, and to have stumbled across the convergence of direct marketing and online e-commerce before everyone and their uncle knew about it. When I was a child I was lucky enough to have an alcoholic, underachieving, embarrassing father who gave me the first chip on my shoulder, one that compelled me to work harder, achieve more, and go further so that I could escape his shadow. I was also lucky that my mother had dropped out of high school and spent the rest of her life working for barely more than the minimum wage, never earning more than $28,000 in a year (an amount that I've made in a single day in my business on several occasions). I was lucky, because of her mistakes, that she would never let me make the same ones. And boy was I lucky to have went to grade school with patches on my knees, for this caused me great embarrassment and instilled in me the drive to do better, to excel in school, to get into the best program in college, to make the Dean's Honor List three years in a row, to get accepted into a Master's program, to study until 10pm on weekends so I could earn a scholarship to help me pay for 6 years of post-secondary education- and so that I'd never feel embarrassed like that again. It's as though I've had a horseshoe made out of rabbit's feet around my neck for these past thirty years. I've also been lucky to make friends with entrepreneurs like Bedros Keuilian, a real-life American Dream. Bedros was lucky to have been born in Armenia (then part of the Soviet Union) and to have a father that gambled his family's safety by bribing their way out of the USSR so they could arrive virtually penniless in America (legally). Bedros was also lucky enough to arrive in America in 1980 without being able to speak a lick of English. He was fortunate that his family was so poor that he had to dumpster-dive behind grocery stores for food. Without this luck, Bedros wouldn't have the burning desire that has allowed him to succeed and create a better life, so that as he often tells me, "My kids will never have to spend an hour of their lives in daycare." And I'm lucky enough to be friends with Matt Smith, another lucky young man from my generation who, like me, grew up with little more than an embarrassment of a father and a mother that spent the little money she had to take care of her children. Among Matt's lucky childhood experiences was the night when his mother scraped together a few dollars for a special Friday dinner of take-out pizza. That night, the Smiths were lucky to have mistakenly left the pizza on top of the car as they drove away (but at least she didn't leave any children IN the restaurant, *cough*, *cough*, Prime Minister Cameron). Eventually, the pizza fell off the car's roof into the middle of a busy intersection – where car after car drove over it – and this was a lucky break for Matt. Why? Because the Smiths' had no money to go and buy a replacement pizza. And so Matt will forever remember that night – and that feeling – as something he will never want to experience again. It's just another lucky motivator in his drive to do better and succeed so that his children won't have to experience that great fortune. That kind of luck leaves a burning desire that NOTHING – not even a life of iPhones, TV's in every room of the house, unending after-school activities, or 24/7 Internet and cable TV access – could ever top. My luck continues. I'm fortunate to know Isabel De Los Rios, one of the world's most successful nutrition experts, who herself was lucky enough to spend almost a decade as a sick, unhealthy, overweight, and unhappy young woman, so that she could truly understand the troubles that her hundreds of thousands of female clients go through. Isabel was also lucky enough to be down right broke when she applied to my Mastermind Group in 2008, having to borrow the money from her fiancé. It was due to her great fortune to be in these situations that she committed to working harder than almost any other person I've ever coached. This has allowed her to pull herself up from financial stress and into a business where today she has over 200,000 customers that have been lucky enough to get Isabel's help as they change their lives. Finally, we've all been lucky enough to learn from Michael Masterson, our mentor that was lucky enough to grow up in a poor household of ten children. He was lucky enough to have so little that it drove him to become the entrepreneur and mentor that we all came to know through Early to Rise. This is the luckiest group of individuals you might ever meet. We were lucky to have had the experiences we did because they taught us so much and drove us to great action. Without our setbacks, what would we have achieved? We have been part of the luckiest generations to have ever lived. What about your luck? Have you lucked out and been fortunate to have gone through similar struggles? Have you been given the inspiration to work harder than ever, to explore new opportunities to take control of your future, and that drive you towards financial independence? Are you one of the fortunate ones that were not born with a silver spoon so that you could learn the importance of adding value to the world in exchange for a fair return? Have you been lucky enough to fail again and again? Never forget that failure isn't bad. Failure isn't final. Don't let the fear of failure stop you from achieving the success you deserve. If you're struggling, keep hustling. Keep taking at least one big action step each day. Failure is good luck. Just listen to these experts. "Problems are in your life so that you can discover potentials that you didn't even know you had." – Barry Michels "Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street." – Zig Ziglar "Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed on an equal or greater benefit." – Napolean Hill "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." -Winston Churchill "Everybody in your situation has the same choice: you can rue your situation or you can dedicate yourself to changing it. Accept responsibility for your future. Refuse to complain, criticize, or condemn. If you want us to help you achieve your goals, then trust in and follow our advice. Stop doubting it. Stop denying it. Have faith." – Mark Ford I can only hope you've been as lucky as I have over the years. And the old saying is true, you know, "The harder I work, the luckier I get". So take that luck that you get and press it. Keep on pushing. It only gets easier from here. Craig Ballantyne is the Editor of Early to Rise and Financial Independence Monthly. He also coaches executives of companies with sales over $1 million. Later this summer, Matt Smith and Craig will be offering a new virtual private mentoring program for Financial Independence Monthly subscribers.  Your Thriving Business Assignment Here are five takeaways that Craig shared regarding karma in your business:  1.  Never forget that failure isn't bad. 2.  Failure isn't final. 3.  Don't let the fear of failure stop you from achieving the success you deserve. 4.  If you're struggling, keep hustling.
