Three More Secrets to Personal and Professional Success

RETURN TO WWW.LANDMARC.INFO.



In my practice, I deal with a huge range of business and professional people. They all seem to want one thing: to change their current circumstances into a desired state as soon as possible.

Apart from having them know and master their own AusIDentities Personality type, I teach clients how to apply one of my “Knowareness” Principles: the Triangle of Change.

Our personal and professional direction is generally dictated by three guiding forces: the way we THINK, the way we SPEAK, and the way we ACT. These three forces work together. Our thoughts about certain plans or ideas lead us to (openly) speak about them to ourselves and others. As we constantly think and speak about something, we start to act upon that topic as well. That, in turn, leads to reinforcement of our initial thoughts, and to more determined words spoken about these thoughts.

For instance: if someone believes (this is: constantly thinks) that business success requires constant hard work (both in time and effort), then that person will be talking about that “fact” often, and will show his belief in his actions. Similarly, when a person thinks that we are in a recession, that will be the subject of conversation, and will be reflected in defensive business action.

How to break that cycle? That's where the triangle of change comes in. The same way that beliefs (and therefore actions) are built can they be re-built: thoughts, words and actions are all factors that can be used for change. Depending on the AusIDentities Personality type, one way will work better than another. Let's explore these three secrets.

The first secret is to change your thoughts about the topic that you desire change in results for. As you consciously start changing how you think about the topic (Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP can help with this immensely) you will find that your language starts changing. That will ultimately lead to new behaviours, as they are in sync with your language.
Changing thoughts means putting in a conscious effort to question your thoughts, and to think differently if you find your thought are not conducive to positive results.

Some AusIDentities personality types are pretty good at starting out this way: Dolphin (NF) and Eagle (NT) personality types are the ones most suited, as they are more in touch with their conceptual, intuitive mind.

The second secret is to change your language, literally. The power of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) in action. Whatever you are thinking, SPEAK only in the way you would like your situation to be. Stay away from talking negatively about it, expressing doubt, fear, frustration etc. Bite your tongue if you feel a complaint come up. By cutting out negative talk, and consciously choosing constructive speech, your actions will start to change. Trust me! That will lead to different results, and then to different thoughts about your situation. You then will WANT to talk even more positively about it. This is a very practical application of the Law of Attraction. I know it to be crucial to personal and professional success, yet so few people are utilising it.

The AusIDentities personality types most suited for this style of change -in my opinion- are Dolphin (NF) and Kangaroo (SP).

The third secret is to start acting differently. Do the things you would not do before. The new results will transform your thinking and will make you speak about them more positively, which will provide motivation for even more -different- action.

AusIDentities personality types that apply this philosophy best are Kangaroo (SP) and Wombat (SJ).

Ideally, you would take on aspects of all three change secrets for the most effective result. On the other hand, we all have a preference. For me, for instance, it is quite easy to talk differently, and to use “new” language that speaks of where I want to be. A business partner of mine is really good at throwing his whole behavioural routine out the window, and behave totally different from one day to the next.

Whichever it is for you, take one (or two, or all three) aspect of the triangle of change on board, and apply it consistently. Within no time you will observe changes in the results within your business or career. The more you “resonate” with your desired results, the faster they will come to you. It's the Law of Attraction.......

I've experienced people changing their business for the better by applying this technique. Once you know what “change agent” works best for you, constant adaptation of your business's direction becomes a process under your control, and makes life a lot easier. You will save huge amounts of money and time, and will create far more effective results than fighting against a current. It all starts with knowareness, though; KNOWing what tools you already posses within you, and awARENESS of their application. This is where you can start.

To your success.
