It Isn't Defeat, But Rather Your Mental Attitude Toward It, That Whips You!

There are many things in life that you cannot control, but you can always control your attitude toward them.

Defeat is never permanent unless you allow it to be so. When you have a positive attitude, you will recognize failure for the impostor that it is and realize that it is really a learning experience, a valuable lesson that will help you succeed with the next attempt. Ask yourself: What could I have done differently that would have altered the outcome? What can I do in the future to minimize problems and mistakes? What did I learn from this experience that I can put to good use next time? If you approach obstacles and setbacks with a positive attitude, you will be surprised how quickly you can turn defeat into victory.

7 Keys To Effective Leadership..

John Maxwell is an international legend when it comes to the topic of leadership! In "The Right to Lead"...Learning Leadership Through Character and Courage, you will read about people who have earned the right to lead others. They became effective leaders not by making other people follow, but by making themselves the kind of person people would want to follow.
This book is loaded with stories, quotes and "nuggets" for anyone wishing to sharpen their leadership skills. Today, I'd like to share John's introduction to The Right to Lead. Enjoy!
Excerpt from: The Right to Lead, by John Maxwell...
WHAT GIVES A MAN OR WOMAN THE RIGHT TO LEAD?
It certainly isn't gained by election or appointment. Having position, title, rank, or degrees doesn't qualify anyone to lead other people. And the ability doesn't come automatically from age or experience, either. No, it would be accurate to say that no one can be given the right to lead. The right to lead can only be earned. And that takes time.
The Kind of Leader Others Want to Follow
The key to becoming an effective leader is not to focus on making other people follow, but on making yourself the kind of person they want to follow. You must become someone others can trust to take them where they want to go. As you prepare yourself to become a better leader, use the following guidelines to help you grow:
1. Let go of your ego.
The truly great leaders are not in leadership for personal gain. They lead in order to serve other people. Perhaps that is why Lawrence D. Bell remarked, "Show me a man who cannot bother to do little things, and I'll show you a man who cannot be trusted to do big things."
2. Become a good follower first.
Rare is the effective leader who didn't learn to become a good follower first. That is why a leadership institution such as the United States Military Academy teaches its officers to become effective followers first - and why West Point has produced more leaders than the Harvard Business School.
3. Build positive relationships.
Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less. That means it is by nature relational. Today's generation of leaders seem particularly aware of this because title and position mean so little to them. They know intuitively that people go along with people they get along with.
4. Work with excellence.
No one respects and follows mediocrity. Leaders who earn the right to lead give their all to what they do. They bring into play not only their skills and talents, but also great passion and hard work. They perform on the highest level of which they are capable.
5. Rely on discipline, not emotion.
Leadership is often easy during the good times. It's when everything seems to be against you - when you're out of energy, and you don't want to lead - that you earn your place as a leader. During every season of life, leaders face crucial moments when they must choose between gearing up or giving up. To make it through those times, rely on the rock of discipline, not the shifting sand of emotion.
6. Make adding value your goal.
When you look at the leaders whose names are revered long after they have finished leading, you find that they were men and women who helped people to live better lives and reach their potential. That is the highest calling of leadership - and its highest value.
7. Give your power away.
One of the ironies of leadership is that you become a better leader by sharing whatever power you have, not by saving it all for yourself. You're meant to be a river, not a reservoir. If you use your power to empower others, your leadership will extend far beyond your grasp.

The followers who looked to these leaders learned from them, and so can we. As you explore their worlds and words, remember that it takes time to become worthy of followers. Leadership isn't learned or earned in a moment.~John Maxwell

A friend shared this quote with me today. I believe it sums up success nicely...

The road to success isn't straight.
There is a curb called failure;
A loop called confusion;
Speed bumps called friends;
Red lights called enemies;
Caution lights called family.
You will have flats called jobs.
But if you have... a spare called DETERMINATION, an engine called PERSERVERANCE, insurance called FAITH and a driver called VISION... You will make it to a place called SUCCESS!

To Your Success!

Six Daily Steps To Success...

While success is my right, it is also YOUR right, if you choose to take responsibility for your success. I consistently choose to work towards my goals each day, therefore choosing to be successful every day.
I begin each day focusing on my goals... visualising them, becoming clear and knowing I will achieve anything I set out to accomplish, and I allow myself to be filled with gratitude for them all. Then, throughout the day, I ensure the following six tasks are completed, moving me towards accomplishing my goals. These six activities take priority in my life and I make time to complete each one daily.
These are my six activities towards success:

1. Massive Action = Massive Results!
Ensuring you are doing income producing activities each day.
2. Professionals sort; Amateurs sell.
You are a leader and people want to work with leaders. Position yourself with enthusiasm and confidence when speaking with potential business prospects. Be, Do, Have. You need to be the leader first! Leaders sort leaders, you do not convince people... they convince themselves, you just follow the system in place.
3. Create success in others and it will come back to you ten fold.
You are offering people an opportunity that has the power to improve every aspect of their life, assist new consultants to achieve what they want, and you naturally will achieve everything you want.
4. Love your business and your business will love you!
5. Surround yourself with the kind of people you want to become. Engage yourself in all training calls!
6. You have to work harder on yourself than you do on your business!
Take responsibility to engage in personal development and become clear in your goals. Keep your goals infront of you and make sure they are bigger than reality... that way they will keep you focused!

By completing these steps each day over the past couple of years, I have accomplished many goals and have been able to turn my life around. For that I am very grateful!
