Leave It! Perceive It! Believe It! - The Power of Vision

Written by Richard Gorham


Continued from page 1

Instead of “perceiving”repparttar bulk stores asrepparttar 122831 enemy. Why not “perceive” them as an opportunity? YOUR - Ace In The Hole!

Opportunity may come in many forms, but we must seizerepparttar 122832 moment and perceiverepparttar 122833 opportunity in order to avoid becomingrepparttar 122834 victim of circumstance.

Examples of potential opportunities fromrepparttar 122835 above scenario:

- Traffic patterns may change so perhaps a relocation of your business may be great for future growth.

- Land values may rise in certain areas. Buying now and selling later may be a wise investment for an early retirement.

- Increased competition typically increases quality forrepparttar 122836 consumer. More choices make service and quality more important. Price is not alwaysrepparttar 122837 deciding factor. Know what your customers’ value most and deliver.

- Identify a niche for positioning your current business, or open a new business that can take advantage ofrepparttar 122838 increased traffic and that can complimentrepparttar 122839 incoming bulk store.

If you weren’t willing to compete, perhaps your expertise would be more highly valued as a manager or supervisor atrepparttar 122840 new bulk store. Potential for stock options, increased benefits, new challenges, etc.

The fact is we could go on and on about possible opportunities in virtually any given situation. It’s all based on a person's perception of any given event. Perceiving things positively by no means ensures success, but understand this; perceiving things negatively virtually guarantees failure.

Again, it’s a choice, make yours now!

Believe It! - You may have heardrepparttar 122841 term “Believing is Achieving”. This is a very simple but powerful phrase that has been proven over and over again. If you think about it, nothing great has ever been achieved until someone has finally comes along withrepparttar 122842 belief that it should be - and WILL be achieved.

For instance, man first stepped foot onrepparttar 122843 moon because of a President who firmly believed that we could achieve what many considered impossible. President Kennedy addressed our nation by saying words torepparttar 122844 effect, “some look torepparttar 122845 moon and ask why, I look torepparttar 122846 moon and ask why not.”

Isn’t it fair to say that President Kennedy’s belief of what could be achieved was very different thanrepparttar 122847 belief of most people? If you agree, you might also concede that it was his strong “belief” that inspired a nation to makerepparttar 122848 impossible - possible.

In his recent book “Leadership Secrets of Colin Powell” by Oren Harari, he states:

“Perpetual Optimism is a Force Multiplier. The ripple effect of a leader’s enthusiasm and optimism is awesome. So isrepparttar 122849 impact of cynicism and pessimism.”

The same point can be made for a leader’s strong belief. The power of one’s belief and ability to communicate his/her belief to influence others IS awesome.

In conclusion,repparttar 122850 L.P.B.-It method is all about makingrepparttar 122851 appropriate choices in order to carry out your vision for success. Vision = Choice Cubed, if you will!

CHOOSE to leaverepparttar 122852 self-doubt and “can’t-do” garbage behind you in order to allow new worlds and new beginnings in.

CHOOSE to see opportunity instead of catastrophe.

CHOOSE to believe inrepparttar 122853 impossible in order to experience all that IS possible.

The choice really is yours, make it wisely.
