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.

Your Success is not My Success

RETURN TO WWW.LANDMARC.INFO

Success is not so much what we have as it is what we are. Jim Rohn

I attended a seminar recently, in which business coaching as a profession was discussed, and what results can be had by actually being coached. To prove the point, slides of fast and luxury cars, big houses, expensive trips, first class travel, shiny jewelry and the like were shown.

By doing so, I realised that the presenter had probably lost 30-50% of his audience immediately.

Why? Because for many personality types within the AusIDentities range, “success” is not about garnering expensive goodies at all. Showing these personality types the above mentioned slides to motivate them will generally have the opposite effect....

The issue here is “success” and two critical questions associated with this concept: 1) what does the word ”success” really mean to you, and 2) where does success sit on your values list?

1) Success for the one is obviously not success for the other, but we seem to have some sort of collective consciousness about success. That's the one I was talking about in the beginning. We seem to believe, as a collective, that making lots of money, driving flash cars, living in beautiful homes is the pinnacle of success, and is what we should strive for. Anything less than that would make you less successful, or even unsuccessful.

My opinion is that we are WAY off a balanced idea of what success really is if we only focus on professional or business success. For instance:

How about:

• the relationship with your partner

• the relationship with your children, family, friends

• your health

• your stress levels

• your personal development

• your work-life balance

• your attitude towards yourself

• etc.

All these factors have to come into play as well when we look at how “successful” someone is. If we only look at the amount of money someone makes, or the “stuff” that this person owns (or has bought with hefty loans!), we diminish our own feeling of success, and will feel bad about that. Moreover, as I said before, for many personality types within the AusIDentities range, a successful life is not about money and prestige per se at all.

The point I am making is this: we are all “successful” one way or another. It just depends on which are of life we are shining a light. Stay away from falling in the (collective consciousness) trap which identifies success with WORLDLY success. You will only punish yourself when you are not “successful” in that definition. As stated before: you ARE successful; we all are. Make a good habit of looking at the areas in life where you consider yourself to be successful. It will help you balance yourself out, and feel good about who you are and what you do (which, in Law of Attraction terms, is the ONE thing life is all about: feeling good).

2) Success is a value. Something we consider important in our lives. In previous articles I have already stated that the way we arrange our values will dictate what we go after in our professional and/or personal lives. The question you have to ask yourself, given your definition of success, is: where does success “sit” in my values priority?

I must admit that for a long time I defined success as “worldly success”, which meant that the things I really am good at did not make me feel successful at all. This lopsided idea of my own success threw me off even further when I gave up my position as an associate within the law firm I was working for. Suddenly, I was not as “successful” as I was before. It became even more apparent when we emigrated, and started with pretty much nothing. No “success” at all.....

Over the years I have realised that I have often tapped into the unconscious collective belief around success, and have beaten myself up over not measuring up to that standard. A contributing factor was that my twisted definition of success did not show up high in my values list either...... I just wasn't into making loads of money and becoming well-known.

I have since established that my private definition of “success” really has NOTHING to do with that collective consciousness, but shows up EVERYWHERE in my daily actions: I have a wonderful relation with my partner and daughter, look after my body really well, look after my mental and spiritual health well, and have great variety in my life, which is really important. In that respect I am TOTALLY successful.

Now, I don't want to beat my own drum here, but want to impress on you that YOU are successful as well, in many areas of your life. You merely have to identify them, and get clear on your personal definition of success. Again, if you keep living up to others' definition of success, while they don't conform to your own, you will have a tough life. And that is NOT the idea of our existence on this planet, is my firm belief.

Set a LandMarc:

Firstly, come clean on how you have defined “success” in your personal and professional life. When, or under what circumstances do you consider yourself successful?

Secondly, in how far is your success definition influenced by what “others” say success is? How much do you look at the “outside world” to define your success? Does that way of looking at it give you a good feeling overall, or do you feel you lack, in terms of success?

Thirdly, how high does success rank on your values list, given your success definition? How much time, energy, money, thought etc. do you give to being successful? Or are you looking at other values in your life (relaxation, socializing, pursuit of knowledge etc.) more than success?

Lastly, given the statement that everyone is successful at many things in their lives, identify at least three areas in yours that you know can be thought of as successful. Do you really FEEL successful about these??? If not, start looking at these areas more closely, and start appreciating your skills and (cap)abilities for what they really are. Remember: success breeds success!

I want to state it again: if you keep looking at others to measure your own success, you will probably never feel good enough about yourself. There will always be other who do things “better”. The key to your success is to look at where you are already successful, and build from there. Law of Attraction will assist when you take that first step, and you know that a journey of 1,000 miles starts with that first step.

To your success!
