Continued from page 1
As we grow in both knowledge and skills, it is easy to discount or ignore input from people that we perceive as less skilled or knowledgeable than we are. Whose input do we discount? Maybe it is our children, our spouse, our employees, people with less formal education, and . . . repparttar

list goes on and on. Is it possible that they see something we don't see? Despite what we think sets us apart from them, could we learn from their perspective and experience? Virtually every successful person I know or know of says that their willingness to continue learning was critical to their success. So for now, I encourage you to remember this simple tip . . . Always be open to learning.

Written by Michael Dimas

Continued from page 1

Self talk [inner dialogue]: creatives talk in powerful confident manner about repparttar thrills & delights while repparttar 136565 clods talk to themselves in self defeating and deprecating ways about why they can't.

VAK's: creatives visualize in large, color, 3-D repparttar 136566 future with a fantastic sound track and how wonderful it feels to be doing it. Clods see tiny b/w pix with screechy voices and soundtrack and feel discouraged.

Beliefs of elite performers: 1. Everything happens for a reason/purpose and it serves us.

2. No such thing as failure just results or feedback for next step. The only failure is in no longer trying.

3. Take responsibility for where you are and who you are.

4. People are our greatest resources. We need each other. The interdependent paradigm.

5. Use everything now. You don't need to wait til you know everything. Get help for details. 6. Work is play. Our vocation is a vacation. Do what you love.

7. It's not what happens to you that matters but what you do about it. Persistence...keep on keeping on

Clods believe none of repparttar 136567 above frequently challenging repparttar 136568 list as not applicable to them.

The Success Formula of high performers: 1. Decide what you want. 2. Take Action. Do something...NOW! 3. Notice what works, do more of that. Notice what doesn't, do something else. 4. Repeat above as long as necessary.

Clods do none of repparttar 136569 formula or give up quickly.
