Realizing and Breaking your "Glass Ceiling" - Part 5

The legacy behind every successful professional, entrepreneur, and personal achiever is a storied history of breaking the "glass ceilings" in their leadership journey. These are the subconscious restrictions you place upon yourself as reasons for not achieving your goals. Take these proactive steps to begin your journey of achieving higher levels of Leadership.

Finish What You Start

Unfortunately for most of us, our ideas start and finish in the same place. As "ideas". We spend unlimited amounts of time thinking and talking about what we should do while doing absolutely nothing to accomplish it. As a result, we feel incomplete and frustrated.

This week all of that changes. You've taken the time to do the exercises to begin becoming the "you" that you want to be. No one else can stop you. Only you can stop yourself. This time VOW to not let that happen. Seek the advice of your online leadership coach. Qualify that special friend who will be honest with you as you go along on your journey. You will then experience the leadership and power that has always been yours. In so doing you will be an excellent source of leadership to the lives you affect along the way.

"Leaders are often always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate, and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand."

- Colin Powell

Learning from other people's mistakes (Books) - Most business books are written by people who tell of success stories, and how they were achieved. I'm wondering if people learn more by reading about the stories of failure? Or about how people achieved success...and then frittered it away through bad business practice. I checked two books out of the library yesterday. Apple: The Inside Story of Intrigue, Egomania, and Business Blunders, by Jim Carlton (started as a startup in 1976, sales peaked in 1995, and even then they were a "troubled" company, and now they've only got a 3% market share. (And I must admit I used to love Macs, but don't anymore...) and Breaking Windows: How Bill Gates Fumbled the Future of Microsoft, by David Bank. "Breaking Windows" tells the story of the battle for the soul of Microsoft that raged inside the company from 1997 to 2000 and continues to reverbrate today." The book "breaks new ground in its analysis of Microsoft's past and future business strategies. As Microsoft faces the waning importance of Windows, rallies behind XML, and confronts the open-source insurgency, the past Bank reveals is vital to understanding the future of this company and the still unfinished digital revolution it helped unleash.

Re: What to avoid when cold calling? - While cold calling one must be be clear with what he/she is saying and must be ready with as much possible reasons as he/she could about the product or the services he is talking about. 1. Breaking while talking in between which mostly takes place because of lack of knowledge of the product and confidence 2. One must never think negative and keep trying along with professional tone 3. It has been reported many times that because of not getting sales even after trying many times frustration occurs which also should be avoided 4. One must not talk to make sale but to create a relationship, this must be in mind in order to the sales to follow
Re: Hi From START.ac CrowdFunding - Hi Mal, The idea of CrowdFunding is not to have a few investors giving large sums of money, but instead hundreds of everyday people giving a few dollars. So, to answer the question, the funding comes from the general public. Here is an example: You have a great idea for an invention that will allow water to be automatically cleansed when you put it into this "Cleansing Glass" (this is just an example, not a real invention) You post a description and video on our site, set a funding goal and a time period to raise it. Through our members on the site, our social media, your social media and your connections, this project is displayed on our site, where anyone from anywhere in the world can give anywhere from $1 to $500 towards your goal. In return these individuals get rewards. For example: "For $25 you will get your own Cleansing Glass and a personal postcard from the inventor" "For $150 you will get a personalized glass with your name and your name credited on the website for helping to create this project" etc etc. If you reach your funding goal in the time frame you set, then you get all the money. Even if it goes over. For example, the Pebble Watch only wanted to raise $100,000 but has raised over $9 million! And their funding is not up! We have been building our database of founding members on our pre-launch page for a couple of month, and have a huge social media following already. These are the "investors" in a sense, and this is where the money comes from. We are also opening up the CrowdFunding market to technology gadgets, industrial designs and start-ups. So when an entrepreneur has a great idea, they can potentially raise the funds they need by using CrowdFunding, versus getting investors to invest large amounts of money in return for ownership. I hope this answers your question! If not, or if you still have questions I really enjoy the interaction! Thanks! Jayni [quote="Mal Tindle":2hbixwrm]Hi, Thank you for the explanation, the thought of giving financial help to start ups and new projects is laudible. May I ask,where is the initial funding coming from and how will you finance the projects as and when they come in. Do you have a start up reserve fund to get you going are you relying on convincing investors to release money to you over the Internet. The reason I ask is that entrepreneurial help is what this forum is about but when it comes to generating cash to invest in new projects then in the present finanicial climate you may find it a very hard sell with investors especially on the Internet as against face to face meetings with interested financiars, just my thoughts, Mal.[/quote:2hbixwrm]
