Attraction Marketing Excellence

And A 30 Day Blogging Challenge

Taking in the announcement on Facebook for the 30 Day Blogging Challenge that they would begin soon —  in addition to a similar announcement from the Ultimate Blog Challenge — I decided to dive in for the month of August and attempt to post at least once a day for a 30 day period of time. Yes, I joined both of them since they were taking place during the same time frame.  No, I did not shoot for completing 60 posts!

My Bottom Line — Even Before I Post My Reflections On The Process

• Interested in taking part in a blogging challenge and have an interest in blogging?  Then do it!
• Seriously — that’s my bottom line.  I totally enjoyed the process and should you: (1) desire to learn; (2) be challenged to keep on a schedule; and (3) have an interest in connecting with others — then dive in!
• My experience was both challenging and meaningful — and continues to be so.

Reflections On What I Gained From The Process: It’s Value To Me

• One of the most significant “takeaways” from the 30 day blogging process for me was — and is — the continual clarification process relative to establishing my online presence.  I remember reflecting to my wife: “Ya know, I really enjoy this blogging process.  It is helping me clarify the direction I would like to head at this time” (i.e. in my ongoing growth as an internet marketer).  In current terminology, I was developing more of “Me Incorporated.” I love to write and to write in a way that I hope will influence others in positive — and maybe even lasting — ways.  For me, this process is huge — as in big, lol!
• I enjoyed meeting other good people in the process.  Simply put: there are a lot of good people “out there” in the internet world!  You learn and grow through reading the posts of others, from comments to your blog, and through visiting and commenting on their blogs.
• I realized more traffic to my blog during the month.
• The process also pointed out for me the obvious: the need to learn more.  That’s not surprising, since life is in reality on learning curve after another as we go through various stages, correct?
• The challenge to blog each day also reinforced my desire to keep improving as a writer.
• I learned more about making quality comments on blogs — especially from reading the comments made by others on my blog!  In fact, I wrote a post on people commenting on various posts.

Ongoing Challenges…

• The challenge to continue learning the blogging process.  And for me that would be the continual growth as an internet marketer, life coach, author and someone who continually asks the question “How can I use what I am finding that I love to do — i.e. blogging — for the purpose of complementing my desire to progress in the best ways possible for my life at this time?”
• The challenge of how to continue to locate other targeted blogs to comment on and manage the time and effort it takes to do so.  Even though I’ve see some training on this, it remains a definite challenge.

All Done!

In brief, I remain very grateful for the process.  Thanks Faith and Michele for creating the opportunities for helping others learn, connect and grow in the blogging process!

Questions For Excellence…

Our Active Listening Skills

Excellence For Business.

Excellence For Life.

If you have been following this brief series, you know that these questions came about following my read of Kendall Sylva’s excellent article on The Coaching Mindset. The six questions I wrote down and posed for myself to consider are located right where I can see them by my computer. I keep them there to use for motivation, inspiration and ongoing skill development. As I mentioned earlier, I feel these questions may help whether you are:

• A life coach.
• An attraction marketer.
• An educator.
• An mlm trainer of others.
• A blogger.
• Or an individual committed to personal growth for any number of reasons.

My Question For You Today…

“How Can I Practice Active Listening

And Being ‘In The Moment’ Today?”

• The variety of situations you could be practicing the art of listening well for the purpose of caring well in the process: over the phone, meeting someone in store, interacting with a server in a restaurant, while getting a haircut, a quick conversation with a student in a hallway, answering a simple question for someone in your downline, truly listening to someone else’s question on a webinar, or simply pausing enough to hear when in your mind the “pause” may not be really needed — much less something you are looking forward to at the moment. Point being: this “art” can be practiced repeatedly over time.
• And closely related to the examples given above, the whole idea of using the “short chunks of time” concept to actually design when you might take part in your own caring and self growth activity.
• And should you happen to come from a faith based background such as myself, I would suggest that you make prayer a part of this process. In fact, click here for an article on prayer that could be helpful to you in that regard.

Your Turn!

• Remember, as the creative one for your world, this is where could take the time and do a bit of brainstorming: even for three minutes. Seriously, just take three minutes and jot down several responses as to where, when and how you might be able to apply concepts in this post to your own world. Ready… go!
• If you would like additional ideas, try this: as you are going through the average day simply have the question posted above in the back of your mind and take in the variety of ways your active listening and being in the moment skills could be used: even without doing them at the moment. (And by the way, I have chapter in my book devoted to the gathering of ideas. Yes, that’s a hint, lol!)
• Should you be in some aspect of online business or business development, you may want to ask yourself how you could use these concepts to train others.

A Brief Quote To Consider

On Active Listening

Being present in heart

just enough to heart the ‘heart speak’

of those you are caring for at the moment.

Questions For Excellence…

Our Observing People Skills

Excellence For Business.

Excellence For Life.

Continuing this brief series, these were my observations from an excellent article on The Coaching Mindset by Kendall Silva. I have these posted directly by my computer to use for motivation, inspiration and ongoing skill development.

Once again, I feel these questions may help whether you are:

• A life coach.
• An attraction marketer.
• An educator.
• An mlm trainer of others.
• A blogger.
• Or an individual committed to personal growth for any number of reasons.

My Question For You Today…

“How Can I Increase My ‘Observe People’ Skills Today?”

Think about it:

• You could be going to the doctor’s office (as I will be in a few short hours) and during that time you could just simple say to yourself “I’m going take a few minutes ‘just to observe.’ I will be a learner.”
• What could you learn about people — in short “chunks” of time — that would increase your skills in the area of learning from, listening to, enjoying, or helping out people? As yesterday’s post was on taking advantage of the power of story, maybe the two could be combined in some way: i.e. not only listening to someone’s story that you prompted by also increasing in your “people observation skills” in the process.
• You could learn by segmenting. I used to share with the men in my class to do this: you create a “filter” for the day and watch people according to the filter you create. For instance, one example I gave them was: “Watch dads today in church. Just pay attention to what they do, don’t do, need to do, etc. Whatever: you create what you desire to focus on.”

Your Turn!

• Reflect on the examples I gave above… and expand on those thoughts. Take them into your world of parenting, network marketing, personal relationships, training, preaching, teaching… whatever. You are creative!
• In what you already know about people, suppose you were to create an article, post or a teaching session of some sort on “The Top Two Affirming Characteristics I’ve Seen In People”: what would you list? What might you write on? How could you inspire, encourage or be a positive influence in the world through what you have observed and what you would write?
• Could your observations be the beginning of a “how to” article, blog post, slide presentation or a short video?

A Brief Quote To Consider

On Learning From Others

We learn that we may become better people:

for it is in the art of becoming

that we contribute to our world,

ourselves, and all we seek to influence.

May we become all we can for the purpose of

helping others do the same.

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?
• How do you stay motivated? Care to share?

Inspiring Others
© Lee Wise

The art of listening to your heart speak
about speaking to the hearts of others
in a variety of creative ways
for a variety of heart felt reasons.

Listen Well To Bless Well

A simple thought for you: listen to your heart well for the purpose of sharing well.

Why?

Because in doing so you capture your heart for the purpose of sharing your heart with others who may be moved in a positive way by what you share, how you share it, and when you decide to do so.

Let me repeat: because others may be blessed by…

• What you share.
• How you share.
• When you share.

We inspire others by sharing the inspiration we feel.

True, the art needs to be…

• Developed
• Refined
• And worked on over time.

But it can — and should — be done.

Take It From Where You Are

Take the inspiration from wherever you find yourself at the moment to wherever the inspiration leads you.

Create your own moments for blessing the moments of others.

Take this post, for instance.  The quote you read at the top of the page came into being simply because in my relaxation I reflected about the what inspiration means, thought about being a positive influence to others through one of means I have to do so (this blog), and began to write.

I linked together…

• A moment
• With a core motivation (to be a positive influence in the world)
• With a means (my blog).

What Could — Or Should — You Link Together?

What is…

• Your moment
• Your motivation
• And your means?

We inspire others by who we are, who we purpose to be, and who we are becoming in the process.

Who are you?  Who are you purposing to be.  And who are you becoming that you could be an inspiration to at this stage in your life.

Not only is this something worth thinking about: it is something worth doing.

Wishing you all the best in all areas of your life,

Lee
