Today I am sharing with you a guest post from Natasha Nassar.  Recently she engaged her readers regarding some personal thoughts on the topic of being a successful business person.  In her article entitled Climbing The Ladder Of Success, Natasha’s story woven in with her insights made for some great reading in my mind.

Before Your Read…

• Settle down.
• Relax.
• Take in the story involved.
• And see how you could help yourself or others who may find themselves somewhere on the playing fields of their own business adventures.

Here ya go…

Climbing The Ladder Of Success
by Natasha Nassar

Where are you situated on the ladder of success?

Are you jumping from the bottom rung of one ladder to the bottom rung of another ladder, or are you climbing up?

Mr. Glankler And The Success Ladder

A close friend of my family, and the co-founder of one of the oldest and largest law firms in Memphis passed away a few years ago. He was one of the most well-respected individuals in all of Memphis, and I would venture to say in Tennessee. He was a “great” man, a term I reserve for people who dedicate their lives to making a difference in the lives of others and living their lives in an honorable way.

I learned so much from Mr. Glankler over the years, and a lot of it came in the form of mottos. One in particular, on the topic of success, is so powerful that I just had to share it with you. He said:

“The ladder of success

is only crowded at the bottom, so keep climbing, but with honor”

When you think about it, everyone who joins a business does so with the intention of succeeding. When they do so, they are at the bottom of the success ladder.

The statistics don’t lie. The vast majority will stay at the bottom of the ladder, while only a small percentage will climb up to the top of the ladder and attain “success”.

For the most part, the difference in the person at the top and the person at the bottom isn’t that one is a “super recruiter” while the others are simply doomed to fail. Not all “successful” people are 100% extroverts blessed with the gift of selling.

So, what makes the difference in success and failure?

They Don’t Quit

As the old saying goes, “Successful people do what unsuccessful people are unwilling to do”.

The successful people don’t quit. No matter what is thrown their way, they continue to climb the ladder.

The “rest” crowding the bottom of the ladder CHOOSE to be there.

• They make the choice to remain at the bottom every time they choose to watch TV over attending a training seminar or reading a book to improve their business.
• They make a choice to remain at the bottom every time they read a great training book, and then choose to leave it at that: instead of taking the action steps recommended in the book.
• They make that choice when they decide to spend their valuable time researching whether or not their company is doomed for failure instead of spending their time building their business.
• They make the choice to stay at the bottom when they choose to quit at the first sign of adversity.

Sadly, those who hop from business to business THINK they are hopping “up” the ladder, when in fact, they are hopping from the bottom rung of one ladder to the bottom rung of another.

They Grow In Honor

Another important aspect of Mr. Glankler’s motto is moving up the ladder with honor.

Mr. Glankler was a true man of honor. He was wounded on the island of Peleliu fighting for our country at the age of 17. He was awarded the Purple Heart for his valor. He was a brilliant trial-lawyer who dedicated his life to helping those who couldn’t defend themselves. Even after he retired in 2004 at the age of 78, he kept a watchful eye on justice by parading the banner of injustice in regard to predatory lending. He helped to pass the Predatory Lending Bill in Tennessee.

In everything he did, Mr. Glankler conducted himself honorably. This is what made him a great man.

That’s why it’s of the utmost importance to me (and hopefully to you) to grow your business in an honorable way.

• Don’t hype the opportunity to prospects,
• Don’t fudge the time and effort it takes to succeed in this business,
• Don’t exaggerate income potential.
• Don’t value the power of the buck over the well-being of another individual.

If you know someone is in a desperate financial situation, I wouldn’t go for the sale if you know they don’t have the ability for whatever reason, to do what it takes to succeed…unless you let them know on the front end that it takes time and effort to get the money rolling in.  I would (and I have) told them to get a job first if possible.

Help steer them in the direction of an opportunity to perhaps start for free, and then purchase the “deluxe package” once they have generated enough money.

And most of all, if you know the business isn’t a right fit, don’t be afraid to say “no” to the prospect. At the end of the day, you’ll feel better for doing the honorable thing.

The Moral Of My Story

The moral of the story: continue to do the daily tasks necessary to build your business, and I’ll look forward to seeing you at the top of the ladder of success!

The Success In Life Process

Let’s talk very briefly about success in life.  I would like to lay before you one more of the many, many “definitions” (thoughts, ideas, insights, etc.) regarding success.  This definition would apply to any number of people in a variety of settings.  Whether or not you find yourself in the world of attraction marketing, online or offline business of some sort, coaching, writing, or for that matter dealing with such topics as parenting, marriage, relationships, etc. — I believe it can apply.

The Success In Life Process
© Lee Wise All rights reserved

See it.
Share it.
Live it.
Do It All Over again.

See It

We “capture” success by choosing to see how it is and how it “works” in the first place.

We select an area (writing, speaking, home building, creating a business plan, etc.) and…

• Note the process.
• Observe the “style”
• Pay close attention to the steps.
• Or whatever!

And we pay careful attention to these matters based on: (1) our needs; (2) values; and/or (3) purposes for the moment.

Live It

Following our close and careful observations, we put into practice…

• Whatever we can
• However we can
• Whenever we can

In other words, we may not be able to do it all, but all we can do for the moment may be just enough to keep up the success pattern of living.

We learn. We do.  And we grow.

Share It

The beauty of “the good life learned” is that any aspects of the good life taken in can be given out for others to enjoy.

We share.  And in doing so…

• We make an impact.
• We create reputations.
• And we leave legacies: good, positive life changing legacies.

Do It All Over Again

Thankfully, the process does not end.  The “success in life process” allows us to…

• Learn.
• Repeat
• Grow
• Influence

In common terms… “Ya gotta love it!”

Time For You To Share…

Ideas, thoughts or comments that could help others?

Question: if you had to share your success thoughts for others to remember in a short statement, what would you share?  How would you put it to help others?

Tips On Success: Have Fun!
© Lee Wise All rights reserved

You know this happens and you may have even “been there/done that” yourself:

• People dive into the process of being successful (personal growth or business)
• They may start by incorporating fun.
• But within a very short time, they realize it is hard work and the fun simply falls by the wayside.

Can you think of a “most successful person” in the world that seems to have fun?

I can: Oprah Winphrey.

Think seriously about this:

• She began with nothing.
• She became a multi-millionaire.
• She has fun and appears to love helping others enjoy life.

You may not be a millionaire… yet.

You may have more than you need… or less than you would like.

But one lesson you can take away from people you know who seem to have “made it and made it well” — whether rich or barely making it — they make enjoying life a priority.

They celebrate often.

They celebrate well.

Now What About You?

How could you enjoy and celebrate… today?

What would you need to do in order to create the “fun habit” in your life?

Digging Deeper

• What would you share with a family member — including a child — on your tips for “having fun while accomplishing your goals in life,” what would you share?
• In training a team for your business endavors, if what would you think of first if you had to complete this sentence: “A common mistake in our lives is that when it comes to having fun and enjoying life we…”

Be Sure To Share!

If you enjoyed these brief success thoughts on having fun in your life, please share them with others. Continue to be a positive force in your world of influence.

Desire To Be A Positive Influence?
(Thee Simple Steps To Begin The Journey)
© Lee Wise All rights reserved

There are many ways of growing in your “influence level” with people.  These three steps are by no means inclusive… as you will see.

But they can serve to get you mentally involved in several of the many, many facets involved with influencing other people for all the right reasons.

Are You Clear About What Your Desire?

If you are seeking to be a positive influence in the life of another person, the first point is relatively simple:

Be clear about what you desire.

If another person seems to be blocking your influence in their live — for whatever reason — asking a simple question may help.

Such as… “Do they clearly understand what I need, want or desire in this situation?”

True confession: sometimes I am not as clear as I should be.  A child may not truly understand what a parent wants or a worker not be clear on the roles or tasks you would like he or she to be involved in (if you are the boss).

So, clarity is one thing.

But also do a motive check.  Why do you want this done?  And how important is it to you at this time?

Can you influence someone by simply “letting it go” and building the relationship that way?

In other words: seek to understand first.  Self understanding.  It goes a long way when you are trying to move forward in the “influence level” of your life.

Take A Look On The Inside… But With Others In View

Here’s what I mean: are your expectations correct?  What you think others are expecting of you — or from you — are these expectations…

Correct?
Accurate?
Based on truth?

Or could they possibly be clouded by your own “inside matters” in some way or another?

Sometimes being an influence on other people can take place just a bit more as you  simply realize that you can’t expect to “have it all right, all the time.”

You want to influence others by giving a speech or training them in some activity.  Maybe you are beginning a new adventure…

And the “but I’m not prepared enough” or “polished enough” or “expert enough” mental games you are playing inside are hurting who you could be as you try to be a positive influence in the lives of others.

Strive For Consistency, But Don’t Get Too Disturbed Along The Way

Allow your determination to move you forward … even in the midst of mistakes, wrong turns, or what could be seen as roadblocks.

• Do it better the next time.
• Adjust, readjust, and move forward.

Learn, grow, develop and share with others along your journey.  I don’t know how many sales pages I’ve read on the internet that contain stories about long, hard, learning-as-they-go times… until they made the first encouraging result.

My point: to be involved in the art of influencing others we strive to be consistent and move forward but we are also aware that we will not be perfect in our path of doing so.

Taking It With You…

• Are you clear about what you desire?
• Are your expectations accurate?  Can you move forward with the current ones?
• Are the hardships may be facing hindering or helping you get better and move forward?
• What do you see your next steps to make in terms of becoming a better influencer of people?  Will you begin to take them?

This is a brief video introduction to my new ebook entitled…

Stay Motivated!
An Inspirational Handbook For Attraction Marketers

Stop for just a few moments to see what I have to say in the video.  But first ask yourself several questions:

• Do you find yourself finding it hard to “stay in the game” at times?
• Do you value short, doable and very hands on material to help you become all that you desire to become in your attraction marketing journey?

If so, I suggest that you listen to the video below and travel on over to http://attractionmarketinghandbook.com or clicking on the tab at the top entitled “Attraction Marketing Handbook” to read more.

And remember as well…

• Do not hesitate because you don’t happen to be an “Attraction Marketer.” Honestly, while it is written to and for those who love and appreciate attraction marketing, it can help many people.
• Do stop long enough to hear what I say if you love and appreciate the art of self development.
• And very definitely take several moments if you love and appreciate Attraction Marketing: it is written for you.

Digging Deeper

• What part does personal motivation play in your personal growth and development?
• If you had to share three top ideas with someone you were training regarding the issue of how to stay motivated, what would you tell them?
