So You Want More - More What?

"If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it
away from him. An investment in knowledge pays the best
interest." - Benjamin Franklin

Strange as it may sound, many individuals and organizations may
know what they want but get caught up in the cycle of what's
familiar. There may be changes like a new job, new location,
or unforeseen circumstances taking you in new directions. The
territory and the scenery may change, but who shows up is you
with all your past talents, habits, and ways of being. There
is a yearning to have places, people, and/or events be
different and mistakenly we think if only we had more
____________ (you fill in the blank) things would be so much
better.

That may or may not be true. Let's say you earn more money,
but you haven't learned about leveraging your money. You
continue to have more money with the mindset you had when you
earned less. So you keep spending even more - like the dog
chasing its tail. To have more money you have to learn more.
Not just with the left brain, but with the right brain (source
of imagination and creativity), and most importantly connecting
with your feelings about money. There are many individuals who
are learned with mucho degrees, yet don't know beans about
leveraging money. There are companies with talent up the
kazoo, and still fail to feel the pulse of their customers and
employees.

Maybe you want to be healthier by taking off a few pounds. You
decide to sign up for a weight loss program and exercise
regularly. Within a few weeks you lose the desired weight.
You look great and feel great. However, before long you gain
it back and then some. What went wrong? You went back to the
familiar!

TIP:

Learn more about what it is you want more of. What are the
resources you will use to acquire the knowledge? What beliefs
are holding you back from getting more of what you want? What
difference would it make to have whatever it is you want in
your life?

TIP:

* There is nothing wrong with you.
* Learn new skills and honor your values of what is important
to you.
* Have the life you want starting where you are now and
designing it your own unique way.

Leadership Pointers: Learn More to Have More What?

"Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other."
- John F. Kennedy


Defining more of what you want and who you want to be as a
leader is a great head start to being on the Right Track.
Leadership is not a standing still exercise. It is an exercise
in the evolution of where you want to make a difference, what
you need to learn and who you want to be. It is organic.
Leadership is not without its challenges, risks, and
celebrations. And you can't do it alone. When you think of
it, what's the sense of being a leader if you are doing it by
yourself!!!

Leadership is available to all - Leaders call forth others who
are committed to the same vision personally, professionally,
politically, and in communities. If what you are doing as a
leader is not producing the results you want, what needs to be
learned? And if it is producing the results, where are you
holding back in the evolution of your leadership mastery?

Leaders take responsibility for their actions regardless of
outcomes. Ship captains are the first to know their
destination before lifting anchor and are the last to leave a
burning ship.

If you are reading this, my sense is that you are being called
forth to play a bigger game. What is it?

Questions hold the answers:

What kind of a leader do you want to be?
What do you need to learn?
What do you need to let go of to move forward?
Where is the community you want inspire, motivate and move
forward?
Who will be your coach and support team to guide, facilitate,
and teach skills to catapult you forward?
What is holding you back? Is it the familiar???


"Man's main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become
what he potentially is. The most important product of his
effort is his own personality." - Erich Fromm

Transitions Pointers - Delete More to Have More

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was
more painful than the risk it took to blossom." - Anais Nin

Transition is the journey created by change. It may be change
in relationships, health, money, career or whatever moves you
from the familiar to the unfamiliar. That means there is a
leaving behind of something or someone that was known. The
leaving behind might be by choice or unexpected circumstances.
In either case, it creates a new mapping. You become pioneers
in our own life - moving ahead. In some case you are being
catapulted where you don't want to go. You don't want to leave
the "so-called" security of a job (that is a discussion for
another newsletter) or maybe health issues have become life
threatening. In other situations, you decide it is time to
make a change, whether it is to leave a job to start your own
business, take a stronger leadership position, or something
that keeps calling to you and you can't ignore anymore.

The transition journey is an opportunity to learn to empower
you rather than allowing a mindset of being a victim or
helpless. Learning to get rid of what will not support you as
you cross the bridge into the new adventure you are about to
venture will serve you well.

Getting rid of clutter has enormous benefits. It allows space
for the new elements of transformation. It lifts the burden of
being responsible for their storage. It passes it on to
others who may benefit. What else can you think of that will
help by getting rid of things taking up space in your
environment?

Taking on something new brings opportunity for new thinking,
new awareness, new ways of communicating, new relationships,
new financial opportunities, new coping skills, and whatever
you want to explore.

Questions hold the answers:

What clutter needs to go from your environment?
Where transformational change are you moving toward?
What is the attitude you are taking with you during transition?
What hunches are you second-guessing with the familiar?
What is your payoff in sticking with the familiar?
What are you willing to learn of in order to get more of what
you want?
What do you have to delete to give you more freedom in moving
forward?
