Find the Greatness within Yourself

You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself. - Galileo

I am a competitive person and to me, that’s a good thing. Staying competitive is the opposite of being complacent. Complacency is the ultimate enemy of success.

In fact, when people ask me how to achieve great success, I usually explain that the most important first step is to get out of their comfort zone, which is a bad place to be.

If you are happy in your comfort zone, you need to move out of it. How else can you find the greatness that lies within you? That means confronting your weaknesses and not just admiring your own strengths. Doing that means getting your ego out of the picture and asking questions of people who know more than you do about how to achieve success. In short, it means self-examination and the hunger to learn new things.

I don’t just direct this kind of thinking toward others and what I think they should do with their lives. I direct it toward myself too. I compete very hard with myself, which is the ultimate form of competition. Trying to best yourself can make your aspirations and your achievements even more significant.

For example, the readers and writers of Business Week voted me one of the top 10 most competitive businesspeople on the planet. To me, that is a great honor. I could have coasted for quite a long time on a credential like that. But instead, I let it drive me to do more and make even more significant things happen in my life.

Unless you plan to spend your time in a café, sipping cappuccino and watching life go by, I’d advise you to take similar steps towards making what you want happen in your life actually happen. The fact that you are reading this article now gives me a strong indication that you’re not a café type, but someone who is serious about success and achievement.

There is an old riddle that brings this to light: Five frogs were sitting on a log. Four decided to jump off. How many were left? Answer: Five. Why? Because there’s a difference between deciding and doing.

Think about that one for awhile and see if it pertains to you. If it does, there’s still time to get going and start making great things happen.

Are your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website
