A S C

Assets is king- it is VALUE, MAGNET, SEDUCTIVE, RESOURCEFUL, SECURE, PRODUCTIVE

Sales is king- its More VALUE, MAGNET, SEDUCTIVE, RESOURCEFUL, SECURE, PRODUCTIVE

Cash is king- its More More VALUE, MAGNET, SEDUCTIVE, RESOURCEFUL, SECURE, PRODUCTIVE

performance and potential- two sides of the same coin

Stars(high performance, high potential)
Agree challenging work to stretch them;
coach and mentor; agree projects and
career development.



Problem children (low performance, high potential) Counsel (boredom? low challenge?) inspire,
motivate, encourage to improve performance and reach potential.



Icebergs (low performance, low potential) could contain potential stars and backbone. Counsel, establish trust, agree aims, and take action to help, including outplacement if best.



Backbone(high performance, low potential)Give recognition for good work,use to coach others, do they really have no potential?

Who was Peter Drucker?

Peter Drucker was one of the world's most respected thinkers on management and society. Peter Drucker had a great way with words. He distilled meaningful concepts into short phrases more effectively than any other management guru. The concepts and philosophies he developed have shaped modern management thinking. He wrote over 30 books and articles about innovation, entrepreneurship and strategies for dealing with a changing world; "Because the purpose of business is to create and keep a customer, the business enterprise has two--
and only two--basic functions: marketing and innovation. Marketing and innovation produce results; all the rest are costs. Marketing is the distinguishing, unique function of the business." Drucker was born in Vienna, and educated there and in England. He received a doctorate in international law while working as a newspaper reporter in Frankfurt, Germany. He remained in Germany until 1933, when one of his essays was banned by the Nazi regime. For a time, he worked as an economist for a bank in London, and then moved to the United States in 1937. In the early 1940s, General Motors invited Drucker to study its inner workings. That experience led to his 1946 management book "Concept of the Corporation." For many years GM ignored nearly every recommendation in the book even though its own executives had commissioned it. This seminal study introduced the concept of decentralisation as a principle of organisation, in contrast to the practice of command and control in business. Drucker reported he was told that any manager found with a copy
would be fired. The ideas in this book however, launched the field of management and essentially created the field of consulting.
In "The Practice of Management,(1954)" Drucker posed three now-classic business questions:

· What is our business?

· Who is our customer?

· What does our customer consider valuable?

He coined the terms "knowledge workers" and "management by objectives." Central to his philosophy was the belief that highly skilled people are an organisation's most valuable resource and that a manager's job is to prepare and free people to perform. In the early 1950s, when other business leaders thought the worldwide market for computers was in the single digits, he predicted that computer technology would thoroughly transform business.

Some useful Drucker quotes;

· The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well the product or service
fits him and sells itself.

· Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.

· Checking the results of a decision against its expectations shows executives what their
strengths are, where they need to improve, and where they lack knowledge or information.

· The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't said.

· Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights
while looking out the back window.

Assertive- General Advice

EXPECT SURPRISE AND EVEN OPPOSITION
it has taken a lifetime to get you to behave the way you do now, so do not expect to change overnight. Also remember that those who are close to you will not expect your behaviour to change. THEIR MAY BE OTHERS WHO HAVE A VESTED INTEREST IN KEEPING YOU NON-ASSERTIVE OR AGGRESSIVE.

this means that when you decide to change your behaviour, as well as disciplining yourself, you must also expect surprise, even opposition, from others who know and have a vested interest in the 'OLD YOU'

BY THE INCH ITS A CINCH BUT BY THE YARD IT IS VERY HARD
it is unwise to set yourself too ambitious targets- start with acorns and let them grow slowly in oaks. go for small increments of change and build on them.

EXPECT FAILURE AND USE IT
failure is a part of change. when you try anything new, but especially behaviour, it is unlikely that you will get it right the first time. You get it wrong before you get it right. Be both realistic and resilient when you fail. If at first you dont succeed, try harder.
remember success only comes before work in a dictionary!!

ALLOW FOR SLIPPAGE
when you squeeze a ball you create an indentation, but the stop the ball reverts to its original size and shape. Human behaviour is just like the ball- it will revert back to its old comfortable ways. So expect slippage, but do not give in to it.

IT TAKES TIME
Behaviour changes slowly. Crash diets or crash exercises do not work, nor do crash behaviour changes. Just think about the simple skill of learning to drive, with the hours of instruction and practice it requires. To become assertive takes just as much time and effort, perhaps even more.

REMEMBER
THOUGHTS lead to
ACTIONS which lead to
HABITS which lead to
CHARACHTER which leads to
PERSONALITY which leads to
THE NEW YOU



JUST AS FOR SMOKERS THE BODY FIGHTS AGAINST GIVING UP NICOTINE, SO YOUR PRESENT MINDSET WILL RESIST YOU MAKING CHANGES. IT WILL TAKE TIME FOR YOU SETTLE DOWN TO THE NEW ASSERTIVE YOU.


SET SMART GOALS

S - Specific- define exactly what you want
M - Measurable- what will be the success criteria
A - Appropriate- ensure they are appropriate to you
R - Realistic- they must be feasible
T - Timebound- by when are you going to do it


goals are dreams that you are going to make real. they are no miracles- you wont be the first person to fly by flapping your arms. if you were not born in America you cannot be President. If you are 55 you are not likely to be an Olympic swimmer. But you can easily be assertive by:

Stating what you want
Stating your limits
Saying 'No'
Getting what you pay for
Demanding respect
Changing your mind
Giving a speech or presentation

MOST PEOPLE FIND COMMITTING THEIR GOALS TO WRITING VERY HELPFUL

TIP
keep a log book or journal where you can record your thoughts, objectives, goals and learning points. It is good discipline and will help you marshal your thoughts, and be more specific and focused. It is also very motivating to look back and see what you have achieved.


ASSERTIVE ACTIVITIES

Personal Record
Heroes
Scripts
Cushion Talk
Chunk it Down
Giving Compliments
Find a Mentor
Feedback & Criticism

Dissatisfaction and how to conquer it

HOW TO CONQUER IT:
take a walk on the top of a steep hill, stop thinking, concentrate on your breathing and your senses, put all your effort into it and stop thinking.
think about your achievements till date. make a list of them.
talk to someone who is satisfied with their life.
use logical thinking to RATIONALISE your thoughts
everyday tell yourself you are GREAT!!
MEDITATE, MEDITATE, MEDITATE
exercise, run, jog, walk
music, movies, art
practise affirmations, mantras, sing loud, read aloud
talk to people, friends, connect


KNOW YOUR OWN MIND
is your thinking driven by what others are doing?

KNOW WHERE YOU STAND
change your mindset rather than yourself

KNOW YOUR WANTS NOT NEEDS
focus on your wants not on your needs

MAKE A CHECKLIST OF YOUR NEEDS AND WANTS

FIND OUT WHAT DRIVES YOU?

SPEND MORE TIME ABOUT WHAT YOU REALLY, REALLY, REALLY WANT!!

KNOW YOUR VALUES AND TRUE NATURE

BE REALISTIC AND GROUNDED

LIVE UPTO YOUR OWN EXPECTATIONS AND GOALS

RELAX, PRAY TO GOD, MEDITATE

DONT LET THE PRESSURE GET BETTER OF YOU


This is a characterstic of many people who feel that whatever they achieve in life is not good enough.

The feelings are of:
emptiness (a hole)
as if something is missing (they need to keep achieving)
inferior to others
that everything they have achieved (all their successes) is meaningless
discontented and unsettled

They:
feel tensed all day
experience a general anxiety and a fear that something bad is going to happen
compare themselves to others on a daily basis
live in the past or the future
dont trust, are suspicious and feel cheated
feel guilty if they get off the treadmill or dont live up to other people's expectations
they exhaust themselves because they cant stop the thoughts which echo: keep going, improve, perfect

REASONS:
the need to keep up with other people

fear that if you relax and enjoy yourself something will happen to take it away

an inner voice saying just a bit more, you are not there yet

being told from an early age that great things are expected of you

being unrealistic in your goals and personal ambitions

living by other people's values and not your own

foCus

FOCUS ON MAKING MONEY AS YOUR CAREER- THINK YOURSELF AS MONEY CREATOR, WEALTH CREATOR, the roles are just ways to do it!!
FOCUS ON MONEY- ITS SIMPLE
FOCUS ON THE BOTTOMLINE- ITS HONEST
FOCUS ON THE PROFIT- ITS CLEAR AND FOCUSED
FOCUS ON MONEY & RETURNS & ASSETS- ITS THE ULTIMATE TRUTH!
FOCUS ON MATERIALS, LAND, RICHES, SECURITIES, INCOME- ITS SENSIBLE AND PRACTICAL AND REALISTIC!!
JUST CONCENTRATE ON THE BOTTOMLINES, MONEY, PROFITS, CASH, ASSETS- KEEP IT SIMPLE
JUST THINK ABOUT MONEY! AND DIFFERENT WAYS AND AVENUES TO GENERATE, PRODUCE, REPRDOUCE, CREATE MONEY...

fogging

when someone is putting pressure on you to do something that you can not, or that is not in your best interest, against your nature, and you would rather not do it. The best way to put up a response is by fogging.

Listen to what the person says, and decide whether or not you wish to comply. If not then using their words, or similar, acknowledge their need but state your case.

In this way you show the person that you have understood their request, but that you are not going to comply.

This method is a very polite method of saying "NO"

I need this- I am sure you do but it is just not possible now.

This is important- Of Course it is important but not as important as...

You should help me- Perhaps I should but right now I have other priorites..

I want it now- I can see why you would want that but my priority is...


by using this technique you are less likely to be manipulated into doing something you would rather not and yet you cannot be accused of recognising the other person's need.

my valentine!!!!

26th October Diary

too much knowledge kills action, it kills the ability to produce, to do something, to take action, to create, to redproduce, to develop, to innovate, to make an advancement

IGNORANCE IS BLISS

sometimes, DARKNESS IS BETTER THAN LIGHT

knowledge makes you afraid as you become aware of all the risks and cons and threats, this will make you FEARFUL AND AFRAID and thus you will start playing safe

TO SUCCEED OR TO DO SOMETHING OR TO CREATE SOMETHING AND MAKE MONEY ITS BETTER TO JUST GO AHEAD EVEN IF YOU ARE GOING TO FALL, AND FALL HARD, ITS NO USE ASKING THOUSAND PEOPLE WHO THEMSELVES ARE AFRAID, HAVE NO FAITH, NO SELF BELEIF, CONFIDENCE, LIVE IN DOUBT, HAVE TOO MUCH HEAD AND LOGIC AND KNOWLEDGE

if you believe in something JUST GO AHEAD AND DO IT, IT MAY TAKE TIME, BUT YOU WILL FIND THE WAY

WHEN THE PASSION, HEART AND PURPOSE GETS STRONGER AND CLEARER THE OBJECT AND THE GOAL BECOMES EASIER

FIND NEW AND MORE AND INNOVATIVE WAYS TO MAKE MONEY

EVERYONE IS DOING IT, YOU ALSO DO IT

BREAK THE RULES, BEND THE RULES, THERE ARE NO RULES AT THE END OF THE DAY, ITS ONLY BELIEFS, AND SELF BELIEFS

EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD IS UP FOR SALE

COPY AND STEAL, IN THE MARKET PLACE, THERE IS SPACE FOR EVERYTHING, THERE ARE BUYERS AND SELLERS AND PEOPLE BUY EVERTHING, EVEN TRASH HAS A VALUE, THINGS ARE RECYCLED, SO EVEN IF YOU COPY SOMETHING AND REPACKAGE AND RESTYLE AND SELL IT, IN SMALL NUMBERS OR LARGE NUMBERS, TO SMALL PEOPLE, OR BIG PEOPLE, FOR SMALL MARGIN OR LARGE MARGIN, YOU CAN STILL MAKE MONEY- THE QUESTION IS OF JUST DOING IT!!

EVERYTHING IS UP FOR SALE, EVERYTHING HAS A PRICE, SO IF YOU CAN SELL IT, THEN DO IT
IF YOU CAN BUY IT, THEN BUY IT
IF YOU CAN HAVE IT, THEN HAVE IT
IF YOU WANT SOMETHING REALLY REALLY ENOUGH, YOU WILL FIND WAYS TO GET IT


AT THE END OF THE DAY ITS GUTS, COURAGE, PERSISTENCE, SELF BELIEF, POSITIVISM, SKILLS, ATTITUDE, ABILITIES TO MANAGE, SPEECH, COMMUNICATION, TALKING, LISTENING, EMPATHY, EMOTIONS, LITTLE BIT OF HEAD AND COMMONSENSE AND LOGIC, note that common sense will always be negative and against you and that is the reason it is called common sense...
common sense is very good to play safe and carry one something, its not good for creation, development and expansion
differential, small, creative and unconventional sense is the point of view that is good for creation, development and expansion



copy and make whatever you can, japan did it and now they are original and inventors, china is doing it and soon they will become inventors and original when the money flows in and they become rich to hire research, development and creative staff, resources.

just copy- copy from books, web, articles, papers, magazines, reports- WRITE, write your own book. USE IT FOR PUBLISHING, MAKING MONEY, TRAINING, MANAGEMENT MATERIAL, TOOLS, SPEAKING, MOTIVATION. self publish it, write articles for some media and publish and get paid, ONE THING AND STEP WILL SLOWLY LEAD TO ANOTHER. YOU HAVE TO TAKE ACTION AND CONVERT YOUR THOUGHTS AND PLANS INTO PRACTICE FOR IT TO BECOME AN END PRODUCT.
try creative writing, express your ideas, your fantasy, your imagination, just write whatever comes into your mind, give shape later, write a screen play,
start your own company, website, give consultancy, image consultancy, brand consultancy, public relations services, call yourself a guru, marketing consultancy, everyone is doing it
call yourself an artist, goto galleries, work for them for free, organise
USE ALL YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND POTENTIAL TO MAKE MONEY AND CHARGE SO THAT YOU CAN GET AN INCOME
PUBLISH AND WRITE BOOK, OFFER CONSULTANCY SERVICES, SPEAK, NETWORK

eventually you will also get more offers
when you become rich or have some money start buying properties and use that to invest in real estate, make hotel, restauarant, spa, shop, let out your properties, manage them, furnish and sell.

FIND OUT SIMILAR KINDS OF PEOPLE IN THE INDUSTRY WHO ARE DOING IT AND JUST COPY AND EMULATE THEIR STEPS AND ACTIONS, WHAT THEY DO, WHERE THEY GO, WHAT THEY LEARN, WHAT THEY EAT, WHAT ARE THEIR HABITS, WHAT ARE THEIR HOBBIES, HOW THEY MAKE MONEY, HOW MUCH THEY MAKE, WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS, WORK, STRUCTURES THEY HAVE, HOW MUCH TIME DO THEY TAKE, WHAT CERTIFICATIONS AND ASSOCIATIONS THEY ARE WITH, HOW DID THEY START, HOW THEY OPERATE, WHAT ARE THEIR VALUES, PURPOSE, ROUTINES?

LOGIC- what is logical thinking?

We all have the skill to adopt an unemotional, detached, step-by-step approach to our thinking processes.

This type of thinking is safe as there is no room for untested ideas which pop into our heads at random.

However it is easy to rely too heavyily onto logic. We need to know when to switch it off and make room for more creative and imaginative ideas.

A GOOD LOGICAL THINKER IS:
well organised
pays attention to the smallest detail
concentrates on fact and not fantasy
can work within a rigid framework
does not allow personal feelings to colour judgements
stays detached
has lots of patience to eliminate variables through reasoning
has no sudden urge to leap into unknown territory!

Logical thinking requires the ACCEPTANCE of the CONCLUSION even if it is not something we want it to be.

Logical thinking means using information for a particular purpose and not for the sake of it.

It provides a focus and clear direction whilst disciplining, stretching and challenging the mind.

It eliminates bias and opinion and will ensure fairness.

A step by step approach, testing possible links, considering all possible.

Ask Questions: WHO? WHAT? WHERE? WHEN? HOW?

It is the sound, relatively safe, process of logical thinking which dominates business life.



TIPS

LOGICAL THINKING IS LIKE CLIMBING A TREE:

be sure why you want to climb the tree- to explore is not a good enough reason for the logical thinker. THE WHY QUESTION

make sure you have the right equipment- means to reach your goal.

choose the most obvious route- where the branches appear strongest.

get a firm footing at each stage before moving on.

keep looking ahead.

ignore the branches with the juicy fruit if they are not on your route!

make sure each step has a purpose and that it is the right step to take.

once you have reached the top ie your goal that is the end of your exercise.



THE CREATIVE THINKER PLAYS TARZAN, OR THE POSITIVE THINKER WHO BELIEVES THERE IS MORE TREES TO CLIMB AND WILL ARGUE THAT YOU JUST CANT SEE IT YET!



ANOTHER WAY IS TO:

DEFINE THE PURPOSE?- WHY DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS?
DEFINE THE OBJECTIVE?- WHAT DO YOU WANT EXACTLY AND PRECISELY?
DEFINE THE VISION
DEFINE THE TIMINGS AND DEADLINES AND PERIODS AND STAGES AND DURATIONS
DEFINE THE PEOPLE
DEFINE THE PLACES
DEFINE THE ROUTE AND BLUEPRINTS AND PLANT AND STICK TO IT
ELIMINATE VARIABLES, DEDUCE OPTIONS AND COME TO THE BEST CONCLUSION
BE FIRM AND STABLE AND SOLID AND SLOW
TAKE SMALL STEPS
TAKE ATTENTION TO ALL DETAILS
SET CLEAR GOALS AND OBJECTIVES AND ACHIEVE THEM
WORK AS PER SCHEDULES AND ROUTINES AND PLANS




what are the drawbacks:
it prevents creativity
it requires paying attention to detail which is cumbersome for some
used all the time it would indicate a lack of self confidence and initiative
it can sometimes over-ride other thought processes and lead to missed opportunities
it can be time consuming

the benefit of making bad decisions...

  1. think the opposite from everyone else
  2. original ideas are created by original people, people who either through instinct or insight know the value of being different and recognize the commonplace as a dangerous place to be
  3. if you are trapped it is not because you are making the wrong decisions, it is because you are making the right ones.
  4. we try to make sensible decisions based on the facts in front of us. the problem with sensible decisions is that so is everyone else.
  5. if you always make the right decison, the safe decision, the one most people make, you will be same as everyone else.
  6. always wish life was different.
  7. i wish means would not it be nice if...
  8. i want means: if i want it enough i will get it.gettting what you want means the decisions you need to make to get to what you want. not the decisions those around you think you should make. making the safe decision is dull, predictable and leads nowhere new. the unsafe decision causes you to think and respond in a way you had not thought of, and that thought will lead to other thoughts which will help you achieve what you want. start taking bad decision and it will take you to a place where others only dream of being.
  9. always imagine before moving in
  10. its better to regret what you have done that what you have not. even when we want to be timid and play it safe, we should pause for a moment to imagine what we might be missing.
  11. have the confidence and courage to roll the dice
  12. you house of dreams is a house of dreams because you cant afford it yet! so either find a way of getting it- you will find the means, or be satisfied with dissatisfaction.
  13. life is about decisions. what ever decision you make is the only one you could make. otherwise you would make a different one. everything we do we choose. so whats there to regret?
  14. you are the person you choose to be!
  15. whatever you want you will get. but you have to want it enough to go about getting it. dreaming and talking about it wont achieve anything.
  16. there is only one person who can determine the shape of your life. who are you going to be?
  17. rock the boat
  18. before the age of thirty important things happen to us which shape the rest of our lives. the first is, we become aware of ourselves and our own thinking. we reach the age of reason. the second is, in our new found maturity we begin to think in a more adult way.
  19. recklessness and risk are not compatible with age. risk becomes something which must be carefully considered.
  20. most people are reasonable, thats why they do only reasonably well. the reasonable man adopts himself to the world. the unreasonable man adapts the world to himself- all progress depends upon the unreasonable man.
  21. old golfers dont win- its a general rule. he knows the downside, what happens if it goes wrong, which makes him more and more cautious.
  22. the young player is either ignorant or reckless to caution. that is his edge.
  23. knowledge makes us play safe.
  24. the secret is to stay childish.
  25. if you want to know how your life is going to turn out, you just have to know where you are heading.
  26. reach for the stars- if this is the level of your ambition- try aiming higher.
  27. do it, then fix it as you go- instead of waiting for perfection, run with what you have got, and fix it as you go.
  28. dont try to spend too much time trying to perfect something before they actually do it.
  29. ask for a slap in the face- instead of asking whats right, ask what is wrong. you will get truthful criticism which might hurt but will help you in the long run and is better than a pat on the back.
  30. be you own worst critic.
  31. when things go wrong its tempting to shift the blame- dont
  32. accept responsibility- people will appreciate it, and you will find out what you are capable of.
  33. it is better to listen carefully to what others are saying than to put up a show of your own brilliance- if you want to be interesting, be interested.
  34. how you present yourself is how others will value you.
  35. have a goal- become what you want to be before you can actually do it.
  36. only think about yourself, life is about "me" anyway- put your ego to good use.
  37. call yourself artist, genius, inventor, original
  38. dont lose or sacrifice your ego
  39. get on with what you want to do, get on with the job, dont worry about how you are coming across to others.
  40. you dont have to worry about how you are coming across to colleagues, workplace, others, because they are busy worrying how they are coming across to you.
  41. meetings and acts of convincing are for those who dont have enough to do.
  42. the real players dont need to act out the meeting game.
  43. whats your point of view? whats your opinion?
  44. most people are other people. their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
  45. there is no right point of view.
  46. there is a conventional or popular point of view. there is a personal point of view. there is a large point of view which a majority share. there is a small point of view which only few share. but there is no right point of view.
  47. you are always right. you are always wrong. it just depends upon which pole you are looked at.
  48. advances in any field are based upon people with the small or personal point of view.
  49. people are like sheep, they follow the leader. it is the leader who has a point of view about which way they should go. having an original point of view or angle is novelty. recognising its value is intelligence. having the courage to stand up for it in the face of public opinion is what makes you a winner.
  50. turn things upside down, or turn yourself upside down, things will start looking positive
  51. a good idea is one that happens- if it does not it is not!
  52. ideas are matter of taste. what is a good idea to someone can be bad or boring to someone else. if an idea is not taken up and used it has no value.
  53. lying in a drawer an idea is useless. worse than useless, it is complete waste of space.
  54. even a bad idea executed is better than a good idea undone.
  55. the longer the idea is used the better it is considered to be.

  60. sometimes the clever thing is not to be too clever
  61. for a creative person starting out on a career- dont think about music, movies, product, media, etc.- JUST THINK ABOUT MONEY & MONEY- ITS HONEST, SIMPLE, CLEAR, FOCUSED!!
  62. start your own company- be you own boss- control your own destiny
  63. go to work and do you earning in the school of life
  64. it is better to live in IGNORANCE than with KNOWLEDGE. solving the problem is the exciting part, not knowing the answer.
  65. once a conjuring trick is explained, it loses its magic. the excitement of a game of football is not knowing who is going to win, or what will be the outcome.
  66. some people have success and live and rest on their laurels. the lucky ones continue to live in IGNORANCE.
  67. good marks will not secure you an interesting life, your imagination will!!
