When you’re in a hurry, every second counts.

When you’re negotiating, transparency counts.

When making a decision, good judgement counts.

When you run into obstacles, perseverance counts.

When you’re designing a new product, simplicity counts.

Your entire life is an accumulation of tiny details and small decisions .

While we measure our lives in years, we live them in days, hours, minutes, and seconds.

Every action—every detail of our lives has bottom line consequences, everything counts!

• Dive for a loose ball. It counts.
• Miss that one field goal. It counts
• Make the tiniest mistake. It counts.
• Take your eye off the ball. It counts.
• Throw a ball instead of a strike. It counts.
• Following through on that swing. It counts.

Regardless of the endeavor, every time you enter the practice or playing filed, everything counts.

Your performance is representative of your practice, and your philosophy. It shows and it counts.

There will be drama, heartache, triumph and heroes. The one constant is the champions attitude, and every champion knows that everything counts.

Play like a champion today!

WHAT TO DO NOW? Share your two cents worth on what it means to play like a champion.

In 1982, two social scientists—George L. Kelling and James Q. Wilson—published an article in the Atlantic in which they argued that a city window left broken is an invitation to further disorder.

Why? Because neglect accelerates the rot in society faster than any other factor.

Their message was as simple as it was unconventional. Sweat the small stuff (graffiti, aggressive panhandling, petty crime) and you’ll stop problems before they grow bigger.

In the three decades since, mayors and police chiefs across America have transformed their cities by taking the broken-window message to heart.

Q: How can you use the broken window theory where you work, live or play to enjoy better results and a better quality of life?

To me, expectations are the result of a previous experience.

• I have come to expect certain results when interacting with various organizations:
• I expect a big smile when I visit my neighborhood coffee store.
• I expect to be ignored in most government offices.
• I expect long, slow moving lines when I get to the airport.
• The wait staff at a local Italian bistro acts as if they are doing me a favor by being open, and I’ve come to expect that.
• My expectation is to be scolded when I am pulled over by a traffic cop.
• When flying cross-country in coach I expect to be tired and wrinkled when I arrive.

The problem as I see it is that we often CONFUSE expectations with desires, and as a result, we waste a lot of time and energy trying to understand why our expectations were not met.

Now, I may WANT to be treated differently at the Department of Motor Vehicles, but my expectation is that I won’t.

The result? I get in, get out, and get on with my day without wasting any emotionally energy. That’s the key!

If however my expectations are exceeded, I take it as a bonus and enjoy the experience.

As you plan your day, manage your business, family and daily personal affairs, I want to take you through an exercise that will help you to grasp the subtle differences between Expectations, Wants and Needs.

• How do people EXPECT to be treated?
• How do they WANT to be treated?
• What do they NEED?

Do this exercise with your team or family:

1. Discuss service or product situations where you have had low expectations. Are your desires different than your expectations?

2. Talk about situations where you have had high expectations. What caused you to expect what you did? Previous experience, recommendation, tradition?

3. Turn a critical eye on your own company’s interaction with customers and how you treat one another at home. Based on their experience with you or others in your industry, what do they expect?

What do they want? How far apart are they? How can you give them more than they want? AND need?

The group exercise is important because we often take for granted that everyone is on the same page.

I’ll think you’ll discover that’s not the case and you’ll be glad you took the time to talk it out.

WHAT TO DO NOW? SHARE your two cents worth on your experience with managing expectations.

It determines whether you realize your  dreams, both personal and professional.

It virtually defines you to others. Without it, true success is impossible.

Your ability to demonstrate this quality impacts every relationship, every communication, every work project, every business venture, every effort in which you’re
engaged.

It changes the quality of every present moment and alters the trajectory and outcome of every future moment of your life.

On the other hand, if developed and leveraged, this one thing has the potential to create unparalleled success and prosperity in every dimension of life.

Yet, it is the least understood, most neglected, and most underestimated possibility of our time.

That one thing is TRUST.

Simply put, trust is confidence in an individual or organization. It is other people feeling good about relying on you. And its value can hardly be overstated.

Trustworthiness is the universally accepted test of good character.

When you trust someone, you have confidence in his or her honesty and abilities. You can delegate things easily and effectively.

You can relax. You have peace of mind. But when you doubt someone’s integrity, question his accomplishments, or worry about his agenda, confidence is replaced by suspicion and anxiety.

Take a moment and picture someone you trust implicitly.

It could be a spouse, a parent, a sibling, a friend, or a business associate.

How does this relationship make you feel?

How easily do you communicate?

How quickly do things get done?

Now imagine someone you distrust. How does this relationship feel?

How easily do you communicate?

Do you enjoy this relationship… or is it complicated, high-maintenance and draining?

The difference between a high-trust and low-trust relationship is night and day. In a high-trust relationship, you can say the wrong thing and your listener still understands you.

In a low-trust relationship, you can choose your words carefully, be very precise, and you may still be misunderstood.

Sadly, trust is at an ebb in our society. A Harris poll reveals that only 27% of Americans trust the government, only 22% trust the media, only 12% trust big companies, and only 8% trust political parties.

Personal trust is waning, too. Many people nowadays look back on contracts or commitments as something to negotiate.

Half of all marriages end in divorce. Many (perhaps most) of them founder on a lack of trust.

Each of us naturally gravitates away from individuals we can’t believe or rely on and towards those we can.

Low trust is the very definition of a bad relationship. And once you forfeit someone’s confidence, it’s awfully hard to win it back.

This is particularly true in business. We all survive by selling a product, service or skill. Yet every sale has five basic obstacles: no need, no money, no hurry, no desire, no trust.

If trust is lacking, forget the other four. You’re done!

The moment someone suspects your motives, everything you do becomes tainted.

That’s why successful companies make a priority of building and maintaining confidence.

John Whitney, Professor Emeritus of Management at Columbia Business School, estimates that mistrust doubles the cost of  doing business.

You may have the best product, great service, competitive pricing, mountains of supporting facts and figures, and testimonials galore.

But if you don’t command and deserve trust, you will not enjoy long-term success.

It is never enough to simply invite trust. It must be earned.

In personal relationships, that means handling responsibility, proving your credibility, allowing yourself to be relied upon again and again.

It’s not just about integrity. It’s about looking out for the other person’s interests as well as your own.

Employers build trust with employees by assigning them important responsibilities, giving them the freedom to make mistakes, and setting an example.

Real leadership is about getting results in ways that inspire confidence.

In a world that changes as quickly as ours, trust is a critical factor. It is the vital currency.

Business consultant Tom Peters calls trust “the issue of the decade.”

Trust makes work easier and more productive. It makes relationships stable and predictable. It creates a sense of community.

That’s why it’s crucial that we not violate it. Trust can take years to build but only a moment to destroy. And you may not get an opportunity to even try to restore it.

For each of us – and for every organization – trust is something to be built up, protected, valued, cherished, and carefully preserved.

It is the one thing that changes everything.

What to Do Now? Share Your Two Cents worth and let me know how you feel about trust and its impact on your relationships.

To build a solid reputation with yourself and others, to earn more money, to be in great shape, and to ensure success in any area of your life, you must learn the discipline of:


•    Looking for solutions rather than focusing on problems.

•    Going the extra mile and exceeding expectations.

•    Consistently adding value to your customers.

•    Eating healthy foods and proper nutrition.

•    Proper preparation and thorough planning.

•    Saving and investing more than spending.

•    Writing a thank you note to a customer.

•    Managing your time and commitments.

•    Giving more than you receive.

•    Paying your bills on time.

•    Honoring your commitments.

•    Exercising self-control.

•    Keeping your promises.

•    Telling the truth.

In short, you must learn the discipline of self-discipline.

One of the great benefits of self-discipline is that each act you engage in comes with a corresponding reward.

•    For each failure you experience, you find new lessons and wisdom.

•    As you overcome each challenge, you gain new understanding.

•    With each success you achieve, your confidence grows.

•    With each loss, you gain empathy and humility.

•    For each book you read, you gain knowledge.

EVERY act of self-discipline in life bears desirable fruit!

In this post, I will present a two-step plan on the importance of reality, of complete transparency, of dealing with the truth as it is, rather than how it was, or how you would like it to be.

You see, death and taxes are not the only guarantees in life: the truth counts as well, yet far too many people spend their lives denying the truth and playing the game of perception management.

However, if you deny the truth for whatever lame reason, you will soon discover that life is indeed a game of undesirable consequences.

Face it….facts are facts…perceptions are perceptions. Each is powerful…each serves a purpose, but you MUST know the difference.

True honesty, self-respect, trust, and character are built on reality…not on the illusion of perceptions.

The acceptance of reality, the truth in every situation is a moral obligation, not an option.

Why?

The reason why is quite simple…because lies destroy progress, compromise character, and ruin relationships with others and ourselves.

Reality is what it is – the truth!

Your health, wealth, relationships, and peace of mind are what they are. Stick with the facts…the truth as EVERY decision about your life must be based on truth.

Let’s get started on your two-step plan.

Step One: Answer these questions…

• What are you pretending not to know?
• What truth are you hiding from?
• What part of your reality do you find undesirable?
• Why are you playing this charade?
• When are you going to start accepting reality and deal with the truth?

Unfortunately the truth often becomes a piñata for those unwilling to accept reality.

This is true for someone unwilling to admit to an addiction, a bad marriage, a competitive liability, a criminal act, or an ethical injustice.

I promise you that if you resist the truth long enough, the backlash will be inevitable. Remember that which you resist WILL persist!

Step Two: Take action.

If this message spoke to you, if it made you uncomfortable, if it made you want to shoot the messenger (Me), than quit playing games, stop wasting your life, accept the truth of a difficult situation and deal with it.

The best strategy right now is to face reality, take action, and mobilize the appropriate responses. And do it right now!

You’re likely to foster loyalty, be trusted, be forgiven for occasional mistakes, and earn more money, especially if you develop a reputation for delivering insanely good and consistent results.

We all build our personal brand every day through our character, attitudes and actions.

The following are a few ways to build massive reputational capital:

1. When someone asks you a question, make sure they get an answer bigger than they ever expected.

2. When someone gives you a project, see to it that they get a plan bolder, and more detailed than they hoped for.

3. When you take on a project, finish it under budget and before the deadline.

4. When a customer has a concern, go the extra mile as a policy and blow their mind by your responsiveness.

If you want to be the one that people seek out, than follow these strategies to ensure that you stand out!

What To Do Now? Comment and share your ideas on standing out from the competition.

If the most important act of creation is self-creation, than one of your most important goals is to create a position for yourself as a rock star to your core audience.

You do this by building a personal brand that is unique, relevant, consistent and original.

Your personal brand is the firm impression or fixed image that comes to mind when people think of you. A personal brand is the mental picture that people conjure up whenever your name is mentioned.

For any business or individual to become truly successful, it needs to create positive brand recognition. This is especially true in small businesses, where there may be thousands of similar companies and individuals vying for the customer’s attention.

The easiest and most fruitful way to think of a brand is as an IMAGE that the audience (your customer) remembers. This means that the successful branding of a service, product, or individual is a matter of creating an image that is positive, relevant and memorable!

Each of us should imagine ourselves as a brand: Brand You!

Therefore, as the CEO of Me, Inc. it’s up to each of us to create our own distinctive market positioning to figure out what we do that adds value, what we are learning that keeps us ahead of the competition and to invent a message and marketing strategy that communicates these attributes to the rest of the world.

Regardless of age, regardless of position, regardless of the business we happen to be in, all of us need to understand the importance of branding.

The good news – and it is largely good news – is that everyone has a chance to stand out. Everyone has a chance to learn, improve, and build up his or her skills. Everyone has a chance to be a brand worthy of notice.

Starting today you are a brand. Right now, this instant, begin to think, walk, talk and act like a powerful, distinctive, world-class and highly valuable brand.

Your challenge is simple, accept the fact that you are a brand and that you are in charge of your brands perception. Therefore, invest the time to create your future by identifying your core brand attributes.

This is more than a smart move, it’s a career necessity that you must take very seriously!

With that in mind, here are a few questions for you to consider:

Who looks you in the eye and says, “given your skills, you could do better…”

• “You are not using your strengths to really make a difference.”
• “What would happen if you committed your life to excellence?”
• ‘What are you waiting for?”
• “Could you set aside the fear and just go for it?”
• “Why can’t you do it faster?”
• “What are you afraid of, I know you’re holding back?”
• “You need to think bigger and step up your game?

It takes love, kindness, confidence and boldness to bring the truth to a friend you care about.

One final question…if you’re insulating yourself from these conversations and challenges, who benefits?

Socrates

He saw his task as helping people to ‘give birth’ to new insights, since it was his conviction that real understanding must come from within.

Socrates was of the view that everybody can grasp philosophical truths, if they just use their innate reason and sound questioning was his tool of choice.

In that spirit, I present to you a series of questions which will challenge you to think, force you to test assumptions, and help you to initiate change in your life.

1. Who am I communicating with?
2. What are we communicating about?
3. What impact do they have on me and me on them?
4. What have they got me thinking?
5. What have they got me saying?
6. What have they got me doing?
7. What have they got me reading?
8. What do they have me becoming?
9. Are they helping me to achieve my goals?
10. Am I adding consistent value to their life?
11. What are my goals?
12. Do they inspire and challenge me to grow?
13. Am I playing to win or playing not to lose?
14. Does my behavior inspire others to greatness?
15. If I passed today, would I be proud of my contributions and legacy?

Then ask yourself the big question: Is that okay?

What to Do Now?
Answer each question and share your thoughts below on this Q&A exercise!

How does one reconcile these two famous proverbs?

“Don’t sweat the small stuff.”

“The devil is in the details.”

That first platitude would argue that worrying about small things is a waste of time and resources, while the second platitude says quite the opposite; be mindful, and pay very close attention to each detail.

Which is true?

Well consider the following wisdom:

Stanislaw Lec said, “Proverbs contradict each other. That is the wisdom of a people.”

George Santayana said it more plainly. “Almost every wise saying has an opposite one, no less wise, to balance it.”

Nobel prize-winning physicist Niels Bohr said this isn’t just true in philosophy and art, but is true in science as well: “The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.”

It would seem that every great truth in our universe has its opposite.

Little ideas can be right or wrong but big ideas are both right and wrong.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic.

What to Do Now? Comment and share your ideas with friends and colleagues.

I often ask myself;

What I have done in the past year to make this planet a better place to live?

What legacy will I leave behind?

On birthdays, you generally receive material gifts, which you can?t take with you, so this year I am reaching out to you for a special favor which I?ll get to in just a moment.

As I have aged, the clock and calendar constantly remind me that my time here is finite, and that I best be mindful of my time and focus.

I am well aware that I have limited time to build something of substance, something that will transcend my own existence.

Therefore my goals must be clear, my responsibilities fulfilled, and my intentions and actions must be honorable.

I believe that leaving a legacy is substantially more important than leaving an inheritance, and that the ultimate test of the impact of my life is twofold:

Whether the world I leave is qualitatively different from that which I inherited, and ?

What contribution have I made to that change?

With those thoughts in mind, I am reaching out to you to help me make a difference.

We can help do this by engaging in RANDOM ACTS of BENEVOLENCE.

On June 28th, I am asking you to do a nice deed that will positively and significantly impact the lives of three people.

Your reward will be the good feeling that comes from helping another person and in nurturing benevolent acts in others.

Guidelines

1. Identify three people or groups of people whom you would like to help. You can also recruit others to participate in this benevolent act with you.

2. Be creative, use your melon, and think of ways to use your time, talents or special gifts to blow someone’s mind, or simply put a beautiful smile on their face.

3. Remain anonymous.

4. Leave a note for the beneficiary of your benevolence. Ask them to “Pay it Forward” and to do a good deed for someone else.

5. Send me your story; let me know what you did and how it made you feel.

I have always felt that there are not enough NICE stories in circulation and hope that through your actions we can inspire random acts of benevolence throughout the world.

By participating in these acts you are helping to make the world a better place and inspiring others to do the same.

I believe that once you recognize the importance of these acts and consider their implications, it becomes difficult to imagine daily life without engaging in random acts of benevolence.

Thank you for helping me to make a positive and lasting impact.

P.S. Any day is a good day for a nice deed!

What To Do Now? Engage in three random acts of benevolence and remember to Comment and Share your story with friends and colleagues.

Gratitude

Practice is probably something you think you?re done with when you leave school or give up music lessons. But, have you ever thought of practicing the fine art of gratitude?

The simplicity of gratitude and the powerful effect it has on our lives is unequaled by any other practice of its kind.  

There’s a special kind of magic in gratitude for it raises our consciousness, recharges our energy, enhances our self-worth, and strengthens our spirit. Gratitude most certainly counts.

It?s quite possible to attain great wealth, the best education, and an exceptional quality of life and still be unhappy. This occurs when people live with an absence of gratitude.

Success is a process that includes both peaks and valleys, but the one constant in a truly successful life is gratitude.

A successful life requires ongoing growth, and gratitude ensures growth. Gratitude heightens awareness and expands your interaction with the world.

Once gratitude becomes part of your nature you begin to see the connections between your success and creature comforts, and the talents and contributions of others.

Consider the following:

• The farmer plants, waters, fertilizes and harvests the tomatoes you enjoy.
• The truck driver delivers the food to the market that will soon feed your family.
• The baker kneads and bakes the bread for the sandwich you?ll eat for lunch.
• The engineer and architect design the bridge that allows you to get to work.
• The furniture maker?s handiwork creates the furniture in your living room.
• The plumber fixes your leak, clears your drain and plunges your toilet.
• The teacher educates and inspires your children to be the best they can be.
• The customer provides the support that enables everyone to receive wages.
• The performer engages the imagination and entertains your senses.
• The seamstress sews the beautiful clothes that make you look great.
• The physician and nurse help to bring your beautiful baby into the world.

Pause for a moment and begin to think of the connections between people and you will immediately understand how important a role gratitude plays in the creation of a happy, productive life.

We live in a world where we have much to be grateful for if we would just stop and look around.

It?s quite humbling to think of all the roles that complete strangers play in our daily existence. The sheer ingenuity and effort required of others is one of the most compelling reasons why we must make gratitude a daily practice.

Humility is a virtue integral to gratitude as we cannot recognize the need for gratitude without it.

Everything Counts! by Gary Ryan Blair

It is a wonderful and timely message for living a full, rich life of excellence, gratitude and quality.

John Wiley Publishing has created and priced Everything Counts so that you can give it as a gift to every person on your Christmas list.

If there is anyone to whom you want to express gratefulness or someone who needs to be reminded that everything counts?this is the gift for them!

I am very proud of this particular piece of work and very excited to finally be able to offer it to you!

High achievers are intensely results oriented.

The world is filled with non-achievers who believe that intentions are more important than results.

For knuckleheads, effort is the same as accomplishment. Knuckleheads put in countless hours on the job, struggling to keep up with their hectic schedules, and speaking in breathless frustration about how unappreciated their efforts seem to be.

However, if you ask them to name one significant goal they have achieved in the last day, week or even month, many would be hard-pressed to come up with anything of significance.

Knuckleheads speak about how hard they work and offer countless examples of their own good intentions, but when measuring results, most of these people have nothing to show for their efforts. Even worse, they don’t really understand why results even matter.

The fact is high achievers are intensely results oriented!

You can't excuse yourself out of a pickle that you behaved yourself into.

Mark Twain once wrote that, ?There are a thousand excuses for every failure but never a good reason.? Knuckleheads have developed an unequaled gift for making excuses and thus murdering their own potential.

If you experiment with excuses, lies and exaggerations, it is probably because you find the truth inadequate.

The tragedy of the average knucklehead is that they have become dependent on the deception, false belief, and unfortunately ease of use associated with making excuses.

I know of no enemy more insidious or vicious than excuses. It?s an enemy that poses a clear and present danger to your future.

Excuses are to a knucklehead, what spin is to a politician ? a clever yet lame way to pass away bad news or some undesirable reality. The truth is, no one is buying and we all know you?re full of beans.

You can?t excuse yourself out of a pickle that you behaved yourself into. Don?t lie or BS people with some sorry excuse for why you didn?t deliver the intended results. Trust me, they see right through it, which makes you look like an even bigger knucklehead.

Excuses are personality defects; the dirty ring around the collar of your performance, which carry the distinct whiff of mediocrity.

Few things make a knucklehead more uncomfortable than being confronted with the reality of their own sorry excuses. The excuse of using excuses is a behaviorally transmitted disease that inhibits the inherent potential of anyone that comes in contact with them.

So why do knuckleheads become such easy prey for an excuse when bringing home the bacon was what was expected of them?

Why do they continue to rely on such lame rational, which undermines their potential and destroys their reputation?

Why do they continue to dine on this junk food of behavior?

Why? Because they?re knuckleheads! That?s why!

Knuckleheads flip the bird to their own potential when they offer up an excuse, and it’s a bloody shame as far too many people demonstrate this reckless behavior pattern.

The tipping point of success resides on the other side of excuses ? responsibility!

Take control of how and when.

If everyone believes that you are available at all times, you are. 

How you deal with incoming calls is an important indicator of how much control you exert over your own schedule.

If you accept every call that comes in than you are at the mercy of anyone who happens to have your number.

Taking control of how and when you accept phone calls is critical to your time.

A cluttered desk piled with scribbled notes screams knucklehead.

The perceived cost associated with getting organized is a favorite excuse of most people.

This goes back to the premise that being disorganized must be someone or something else?s fault ? that there must be a barrier to entry that keeps you in this state.

There is a tremendous opportunity cost associated with remaining disorganized as every misplaced message or task left unaccomplished has a cost.

Sometimes the cost can be diminished reputation, loss of opportunity, and even financial pain.  A lot of unfortunate, negative perceptions are created by the appearance of disorganization.

By not taking control of this issue, you become known as someone who doesn?t return phone calls, someone who is consistently late to meetings, and someone whom you can’t trust.

These perceptions, actually these realities will in fact tarnish your business and personal relationships.

The cleanliness of your space speaks volumes to your co-workers and clients. A cluttered desk piled with scribbled notes screams knucklehead.

How can a client entrust you with his or her business if you can?t be trusted to handle the items currently on your desk?

And how can your boss, or co-worker rely on you if you have proven yourself unreliable in other, seemingly innocuous situations?

The answer is simple: They can?t!

Excuses are a dramatic, ongoing theme for Knuckleheads.

One thing you can count on from far too many people is their consistency in being late for just about any meeting. They are an equal opportunity offender and THIEF of others time, and patience.

These knuckleheads are not the sharpest knives in the drawer; they waltz in late, apologize profusely and insist that this incident was highly unusual.

They are never, ever late they say. The victim of their excuse finds the knucklehead amusing because experience has shown them to be late for everything.

Let?s cut to the quick on this issue. Being chronically late is irresponsible, unprofessional, and is a significant factor in annoying those that have been on time.

Knuckleheads would never admit this but they are getting some kind of demented jolly by getting other?s attention when they walk in the room ? late of course.

This demented behavior reinforces a sense of inadequacy that the Knucklehead feels about themselves and this is their creative way of demonstrating their incompetence to the world.

Excuses are a dramatic, ongoing theme for Knuckleheads. They consistently over schedule, become flustered when they fall behind, and continue to insist that they are never late. A rendezvous with reality is the only hope for change!

Guido Daniele's Body Art

Daniele is a brilliant artist who has turned his hand to creating a wholly different style of painting which he dubs as ?Handimals?.

Rather than working on canvas, he uses human hands to produce these stunning animals -- like a Technicolor version of the “shadows on the wall” game.

The whole process takes up to ten hours -- and the models can’t even twiddle their thumbs…the end result is both surreal and sensational.

For your enjoyment, I have included a collection of Guido?s hand painting art. Check out his amazing creations which look like real animals and then visit his site and check out his body painting pictures.
