No revelation if no expectation

Whatever you need to happen in 2011 needs to be an expectation. It may be a wish, desire, prayer, change or even a discovery. This means that something needs to happen.
Anything that needs to happen needs to be a revelation. A revelation is something that is new or different and something that is not currently in affect.
To have a revelation you need an expectation.
Expectation comes first and then revelation. You can have expectation without revelation but you can't have revelation without expectation.
If something occurs(revelation) how can you recognise it if you did not have a plan for it or ask for it or work towards it?
So what do you do for 2012?
Put plans in place. Write them down. Phrase what you want in positive terms. Create it in your mind first.
Let all good things that you expect now reveal itself to you.

Great communication

Communication is like a dance. One person takes a step foward, the other takes a step back. Even one mis step can land both on the floor in a tangle of confusion. - Oprah Winfrey

You are great

If what you have to say is worth listening to then people will wait to listen to you speak.
If what you have is worth owning then people will wait for you and give the time so that they can own it.

Get simple

Simple things done consistently well is the answer to the complex challenges we face in business, sales and personal life.

In Luke 17:15- Out of the 10 lepers
that were "cleansed" when Jesus
sent them to the priest, only one came
back and threw himself at the feet
of Jesus and gave thanks.
He showed appreciation. And Jesus said that because of this he is made whole.
The rest of the blessing and rewards
and fortune will come to you in full circle
and will be embedded only when you show thanks and gratitude.
Don't take your reward and walk away. Show thanks.

Momentum

It is not about how slow you are in progressing- at least you are moving-it is about not moving at all and staying still. That is the greatest folly.

Hey I trust you

Our sales process needs to change in 2012.

We are now a more aware, knowledgable and discerning customers. We have been made that way because of the financial predicaments that the so-called recession has put us in.
We were made to venture out as customers to seek bargains, value for money, and better deals.
Products and services that we once would not give a chance or shy away from, where tried out.
We are now aware of different options out there.

So what does this mean for service providers and product suppliers. Simple:
You need to view yourself as commodity suppliers.

Steel web of habits

Watch your thoughts, they lead to words, and words lead to action; your actions then become your habits; your habits create your belief system and your belief system defines your reality.
What does this all mean? Watch your thoughts; identify them and ask whether you are where you are and getting what you are getting because of your thoughts.
Remember that the system within which each individual and organisation works in is perfectly designed to get them the results they are currently achieving.
Stew on that.
