Attraction Marketing Excellence

Tweet This Post

• Should you happen to be facing any level of discouragement, do you need to take note of the small victories in your life at this time?  Maybe record them in your journal, post several of them around for you to see during the day, or simply see them as something to be grateful for?
• If I were to ask you, what small steps to success in your business or life journey have you taken that could be of a benefit for others to know, could you list them?  Should you list them?
• What small “victory step” could you begin tomorrow?  Maybe begin the first post in a blog with a goal attached to it: like making one post a day for the next month?  Or, making it “an encouragement day” for someone by encouraging them in one small, yet meaningful, manner?  Or a “learn something new in only five or ten minutes” time tomorrow that could help?
• Is there one small step you have not taken that you know you need to take at this time and you have not done so?
  

Time To Visit Your Heart

You might expect that as a life coach with a pastoral training background,  I might deliver your way inquiries such as these about now:

• In reviewing what we have talked about, do you hear your heart ’saying’ anything to at this time concerning what we have interacted about?
• Thinking about what we have reviewed, would you say that you are giving yourself enough credit at this stage in our life relative to your small successes, or is there some other obstacle (small or large) hindering your success right now that should be considered?
• Since you are a parent, let me ask you: are you celebrating in the small successes in the lives of your children — no matter what their age may be?
• Okay, I know you see the importance of small success steps and liked what you read, so what step would you be willing to design and take by this time next week?

What Does Relational Success Look Like?

(Characteristics Of A Growing Relationship)
© Lee Wise All rights reserved

Relational Success…

• Loving in the good times — and the not-so-good times.
• Learning how to “win as a team” instead of demanding to win as an individual.
• Learning to care and caring enough to listen.
• Seeking mutual growth, celebrating each other’s victories and assisting each other during the stress times of life.
• Being big enough to ask for forgiveness when you have wronged the other person and strong enough to grant forgiveness when you have been wronged.
• Overlooking the small things for the purpose of gaining the bigger things in a relationship. Striving to keep the “small things” just that: small.
• Giving enough space to the other person to allow for a strong sense of personal identity and self-worth while at the same time refusing to allow “space” to become a way of punishing someone when they fail to live up to my expectations.
• Being flexible as schedules and various seasons of the year fluctuate between “being normal” and “being totally out of control.”

Asking Questions/Gaining Insights

• What has caused our relationship to grow stronger in the ups and downs of life?  Ideas for keeping the momentum…
• Do we fight each other or *for* each other?  How are we doing?  We function best as a team when we…
• Am I caring — and caring enough to listen?
• Is mutual celebration a part of who we are as a couple?
• I certainly don’t use “personal distance” as a punishment, do I?
• Are we forgiving and experiencing true forgiveness?  If so, what insights have we gained?
• Is anything “too big” that is really too small to be an issue between us? What can (or should) be done about it?
• Would we give each other a high rating in the area of being sensitive to the shifting demands of the crazy lives we lead?

Encouragers…

All Of Us Need Them.

All Of Us Need To Be Them.

In this brief video I share with you an extremely simple quote on being an encoruager.

It does not matter what sphere of influence we find ourselves traversing in at the moment – attraction marketing, self development, or simply living in the best way we can for the best reasons – the importance of encouragement can hardly be underestimated.

• Relax.
• Look.
• Listen
• Enjoy.
• And… respond below if you like!

Digging A Bit Deeper…

As you think about the subject of being an encourager — or the place encouragers have played in your own life —

• What aspects of being being encouraged have been most beneficial to you?
• You may be a trainer of others in a business or an educational setting of some sort.  Should you need to inspire those under your care regarding the importance of being an encourager to others, what would share?
• Any insights you should share or record for yourself while thinking on this topic?
• Gratefulness and encouragement go hand in hand, obviously.  Listening to your heart right now… does that comment say anything to you?  (It may or may not, lol.  I just thought it was an appropriate question! The question is a “no guilter.”)

Now Go Ahead… And Share!

Please share this post with others if it has been a positive influence for you in any way!

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?

If you enjoyed the post, the buttons on the blog make it easy to share.

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.

Questions To Direct The Journey Of Your Life

This is a simple, but not necessarily easy, “perspective” exercise.  If you relate to the asking of questions, you will most likely relate to this brief post.

A Bit Of Prep Time

Try to…

• Slow down a bit before you read.
• Try, in some way, to get in touch with your heart.
• If possible, make provisions to respond.  Take notes, record ideas, whatever.

Perspective

• Use the questions to prompt journal entries.
• Allow the questions to help you formulate future goals for your life.
• If you “really get going” on one question… keep going and return.
• If you find one or more than prove to be valuable for you… share it!  All of us desire to be a positive influence, right?

Let The Process Begin!

On The Artistic Side Of Life…

• Do you want to achieve any artistic goals?
• If so, what is it? Do you want to write a book; paint a masterpiece, or write a song?

Thinking About Attitude…

• Does your own mindset hold you back from making progress?
• Do you have enough “positive” while keeping the “negative” in the proper place
• Would you like to be more assertive, encouraging, thoughtful, caring, etc?
• If you were to name the top 3 most positive aspects of your attitude, what would they be?

Now About That Career…

• What level do you want to reach in your career?
• Or, what career changes would you like to make… now or later?  How might you begin?
• Do you have a desire to be self-employed?  If so, why?  Do your reasons make sense?
• In your job now: how could be a positive influence?  A “go-giver” as they say?

Let’s Talk About Learning…

• Is there any knowledge you want to acquire in particular or some area of study that you would like to pursue?
• At this stage of your life journey, what do you enjoy learning… and why?
• Are you learning more and applying it less by any chance?  Or, is your learning in balance with the forward momentum?

Family:

• Are your family relationships what you would like them to be?  If not, how can you make steps to make them different?
• What positives do you see in “anything family” about your life?  Could you name your top three?  If so, how could you capitalize on those to make your life even better at this moment?
• How do you define family?

Financial

• How much do you want to earn by what age in your life? What can you do to make that come about?
• How are your “financial disciplines?”  Are they propelling you forward or something less than forward?

Physical:

• What to you means “good health”?
• What would a level of good health, if you can, allow you to do now… or years from now… that you might shoot aim at doing?
• Are you where you feel you should, or could be, physically given our set of life circumstances at this time? What changes, if any, do you feel you need to make?
• If those close to you were to answer the questions directly above, how do you think they would answer them?  Why?

Pleasure

• How do you want to enjoy yourself and are you enjoying yourself that way?
• Do you have many “life celebrations” to help you along with your personal and/or professional journey?
• Are you taking enough time to hear “the heart speaks” of your life?

Service

• Do you want to make the world a better place by your existence? If so, how?
• If someone were to ask you, “How would you like to ‘give back?’, what would you tell them?

Review

• Reflect on one or more of your answers — or the thoughts you have entertained about any of the questions.
• Do any other questions come to mind?  If they did, why?  Should you pay attention for simply “let it go?
• What about priorities?  Are any priorities emerging as you review the list?

Let Us Know What You Think!

• Share below your responses if you feel it would help you or someone else.
• Or, simply “share to share” if you would like.

Your Values. Your Vision. Your Life.

Bridget Haymond recently created a post on her blog entitled “Values For Your Success.”

Within that very well said article, she lists an acronym for values that I believe is worth sharing.

• Vision – create a vision board with inspirational photos and phrases
• Alignment – keep goals in alignment with core values for momentum
• Legacy – commit to a lifestyle that leaves an inspiring legacy
• Useful – useful goals have measurable results that further the vision
• Endurance – worthwhile endeavors take time so endurance is key
• Success – successful results are balanced and whole life focused.

Aren’t those great?

Expanding, Applying, Digging Deeper

– Vision –

As you move through your day — whether that be an “attraction marketing day” — a personal day off, or during this stage in your life:

How could are you, or feel that you should be, keeing your vision alive?

If yours, like many, is a “vision in formation,” how might paying attention to the remainder of the points help you along the way?

– Alignment and Core Values –

Have you identified your core values that could be “attached” to any of your goals or dreams?

If so, are they in print where you could share them with someone else?

** A side note here. Chapter two of my ebook gives you a simple process to clarify and create your own values list.

– Legacy –

Don’t you love that word “lifestyle” when associated with the topic of a legacy?

Question: if you were to summarize in broad terms what you are aiming at in terms of a legacy, what would it be?

Have you created a mission statement that would faciliate your living the way you desire to live for the purpose of leaving the legacy you desire to leave?

– Useful and Enduring –

Putting these two words through my particular grid, I might say…

We design target attitudes and actions that serve to move us towards the desires of our hearts (i.e. they are useful) and stimulate in us a sense of sticking with it until they are accomplished or modified to fit our purposes.

How would you reframe that combination of words to fit your take on life and what you want to accomplish?

Writing down how you might answer that could be the stimulus to share with those you are training, your family or another significant person you are seeking to influence.

– Success –

“Balanced and whole life focused.” Now that says tons to me.

Tons.

In my way of thinking, being “balanced” and “whole life focused” qualifies for a never ending pursuit. Why? Because we…

Learn.
Grow.
Adapt.
Adjust.
And keep moving forward in those areas.

Suppose your son, daughter, spouse, best friend, or business partner and this question was posed to you:

“How do you attempt to stay balanced and whole life focused?”

How would you answer that person?

Thanks, Bridget!

Naturally, Bridget has more to say on her post but she sure got me thinking!

An Attraction Marketing Excellence Quote: The Importance Of Purpose

You cannot be around this blog long without realizing my strong feelings revolving around the subject of on purpose living.  Not that I have that subject nailed down by a long shot, but I honestly do work at trying to make my life count as best as I possibly can.

I trust that the short quote below will be a small motivation in your world to keep refining what you would like to do and why you would like to do it.

Drilling A Bit Deeper

• Should you be in a business setting where you have a significant say in what goes on in your area(s) of responsibility, have you defined your purpose as much as you would like or feel you need to do?
• In the area of attraction marketing, much talk revolves around creating a marketing funnel — which, in effect in my opinion, centers around a defining a specific purpose for an email series, home page, or sales page, etc.  Are you moving in the right direction with regards to your purpose in this area?
• Do you feel creating a mission statement for business or your personal life might be helpful at this time?
• Should you decide to create a statement, what values would you identify that would give meaning to the statement you might create?  Could you list the top five?

On The Value of Appreciating Others… In Business And The Business Of Life

Once again, the Inspirational “It Matters” quote below is designed to complement what you no doubt already know and provide you with a moment of inspiration to do…

What’s best,
In the best way for you,
And those you influence,
At this time in your life.

So many of us thrive in the home and in business as we are affirmed as to who we are or what we are doing.  Enjoy and share your positive thoughts below!

Taking It Home…

• In what way have you seen the power of appreciation “work at work” so-to-speak?
• Realizing the positive notations you may have thought about above, what would it take for you to consider yourself to be a personal success in the area of appreciation this next week?
• What about if you had your own “Random Acts Of Appreciation Week — In Five Minutes Or Less”, what might it look like in your world?
