 As a Sales and Leadership Trainer, I see and hear many myths out there that can send organizations down the wrong path. I want to see you succeed, not get bogged down subscribing to the wrong messaging within your company. And that starts with debunking The Talent Myth. The Talent Myth suggests that to be a great leader, all you need is talent. The reality is, the world is full of talented leaders, but are they great leaders? Are they effective leaders? Not always. To improve your effectiveness in an organization, focus on five key points and add them to your playbook. Here's point #5 - be sure to watch the video for more insight on this point and If you missed the first 4 keys, watch them here... WATCH KEY #1 HERE WATCH KEY #2 HERE WATCH KEY #3 HERE WATCH KEY #4 HERE KEY #5 Resist the temptation to blame others. Instead of pointing fingers when something goes wrong, take ownership. Look inside your organization and ask yourself, "how can I, as an individual, take ownership and help this company be successful?" I wish you peace, love, and gumbo!

WATCH KEY #1 HERE WATCH KEY #2 HERE WATCH KEY #3 HERE KEY #4 Don’t make excuses. When things aren't going our way, it's easy to make excuses. This is not a winning strategy. In that 2009 season, the Saints suffered three losses before the Superbowl, but they never made excuses. They used the opportunity to build their poise and confidence and ultimately led the team to victory. I wish you peace, love, and gumbo!

Then, learn about point #2 here. 1. Respect for one another. While this sounds basic, it's surprising how many teams function without healthy regard for one another. I'm a big New Orleans Saints football fan. If we looked back on their Superbowl win in 2009, their success as a team didn't come from just their raw talent on the field. They respected each other and stuck together. RESPECT is what helped them win that Superbowl.

SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE. COMPELLING. ADDICTIVE. Have you ever wondered why certain websites, restaurants and organizations are VALUED so much more than others? How did they become simply irresistible, compelling and invaluable to their clients and prospects? They must have just been lucky, right? Maybe they were just in the right place at the right time? Yep, that happens...in about one out of every 100 businesses! The rest of good business happens with good business planning. And good business planning can be made simple by reflecting on the businesses that you find value in as a consumer. Get out a fresh sheet of paper, and follow these steps: Step 1: Write down your three favorite websites. Step 2: Now, write down your three favorite restaurants. Step 3: Next, list the top three organizations that generated the highest revenue for you this year (e.g. Chamber of Commerce, service clubs, business associations, school groups). Step 4: Study your three favorite websites, and think about why they are valuable to you. Write your results down. Step 5: Do the same with your three favorite restaurants. What is it that REALLY makes them your favorite? And don’t put down “because the food tastes good." BORING!!! So what? That’s not the REAL VALUE. Go deeper. Step 6: Think about the top three revenue generating groups you were involved in. Write down why you feel they generated so much revenue. Step 7: Here's the final step. Look at the answers you’ve created for yourself and sit down with an accountability partner (someone who is not your partner or family member). Work with them to answer the most important question this year: How can I apply these answers to offer knock your socks off, world class added value to my clients and prospects? I’m talking to you Mr./Ms./Mrs. small business owner. Do you need an accountability partner to assist you with answering your questions? Let us know here. Think about how serious this is. If there was a way you could get relief from the ridiculous “feast or famine” sucky sales cycle, wouldn’t that be worth it all? It will be. The answer was in front of you all along. Now invest yourself into some think time and get your plan in ACTION.

Today’s Marvelous Minute Meditation will cover specific ways you can gain back more time & become the Super Productive person you always wanted. Recently I had a birthday and boy did it make me aware that “Father Time” just keeps on ticking. Never do I want to waste time if I can avoid it. Our first bullet point we want to cover today might not be an idea anyone has shared with you. Don't have any chair other than your own chair in your immediate office. It encourages people to have a quick meeting and to get to the point without sitting down & getting too comfortable. You could be a business owner, unit manager or some other type of manager. In these positions in American corporations, you are usually responsible for 1 -7 people that are your direct reports. I would strongly encourage you to embrace not having a chair for someone to sit down in your immediate office. Yes, it might be uncomfortable initially. Yes, I know it sounds goofy. But it’s time you change things up a bit. That’s why you are reading this. You know that I consistently bring you valuable resources. This will get your team: *Solving more problems on their own *To more succinctly organize their thoughts *To handle more stuff with a short email & NO FACE-TO-FACE INTERRUPTIONS. *Get to the point because they don’t want to stand up too long in the first place. (Can you imagine what 1 less interruption per hour of each day can do to help you be MORE PRODUCTIVE? 8 less interruptions. Heck, you might be able to go home early & not feel frustrated from handling everyone’s interruptions. What if you can CONSISTENTLY COMPLETE the items on YOUR CHECKLIST for a change? How would that make you feel? I know you. I see you. I feel you.) “The best way to reduce your interruptions is to NOT SET YOURSELF up to be interrupted.” That - & train them thoroughly. No one should be asking the same question 3 times, unless you are enabling this behavior or they have not been properly trained. Quite frankly, there are thousands of unnecessary meetings that are conducted across America and the world where people are meeting to plan a meeting to plan yet another meeting. They are stuck in meeting hell. Some managers are calling meetings without a real, legitimate agenda. Many feel compelled to do it to justify their position. Meetings are not leadership. Leadership is Leadership.
All of these phrases, when uttered sincerely, save time because if communication is increased directly, it will cut out confusion & hard feelings. Both parties will be in a much better place. Oftentimes we’ve received phone calls at our business & the caller was calling our number by accident. But because we were coming to them from a place of joy and joviality, (key core values in our business) they were drawn to us & what we could provide them. Did you catch that? “People are drawn to joyful, jovial, happy people.” How about you? Your team? Are they joyful, jovial & happy? That can be worked on. Yes, I will help you. I call it a “vibe”, OK. Is your “vibe” worth catching. Are you “attracting” or “repelling” people? Good manners are not dead. Remember to use those manners & model the proper manners. Not just in a personal situation but also in business. Don't use all of these great ideas in business like saying “please” and “thank you” and “yes ma'am” and “opening the door for ladies” then when you get home you treat your own family members with less respect. Don’t do that! Be authentic wherever you are - personal or business environments stay consistent. Peace, love & Gumbo!

 Nurture but do not become an enabler. What is the difference between a nurturer and an enabler?
 When I entered the ENT specialist office in Metairie, Louisiana a few years ago, one of the most critical questions on my mind was if I would be able to continue to speak effectively with my motivational business after my surgery.
