Strengthen Your Strengthens and Watch What Happens to Your Life

If you are good at something, then

you need to spend your time getting

better and better at it.

If you are not good at something, you

need to find another way to get it done.

No, this is not running away from

what is important.

What it is, is:

1. Using the gifts you have been given.
   
   
2. Getting better and better at what you
   
   do well.
   
   
3. Moving your life, business, career,
   
   family to outstanding.
   
   

You cannot get to outstanding if you spend

your time getting better at what you suck

at. Don't argue about it. It is a simple fact.

If you spend your time getting great at

what you already do well, you will become

outstanding, period.

If outstanding is what you want to

accomplish in your life, then you need to

understand what this means and you need

to apply it to all you do.

If you are great at sales, then you need

to sell, sell and sell some more.

You need to study and learn and practice

and get better and better.

This will take you and your business and

your life to outstanding.

If you are not good at sales, then you are

still responsible, but you need to use your

energy to find another way to get it done.

If you are great at numbers, then you

need to work the numbers.

You need to study, learn, understand

tools and processes and get better and

better.

This will take you and your business

and your life to outstanding.

If you are not good at numbers, then

you are still responsible, but you need

to use your energy to find another

way to get it done.

This applies to all the things you have

to do in life and business and family.

Bottom line is those who apply this

process will get to outstanding.

Those who do not apply this will

spend to much time, energy and effort

trying to get better at what they don't

do well. Then they will get a little

better, but never that good.

Remember, outstanding is where all

the rewards are.

Outstanding is just a few steps ahead

of excellent.

But the rewards at outstanding are 10

fold what they are at excellent.

Where do you want to be.

Today, take a piece of paper, draw a

line down the middle,

Left side, strengths, what you do well.

Right side, weaknesses, what you

don't do well.

Then select the top item on each side.

For the strength item, determine how

you can get better and stronger and be

more successful at doing this? Don't

settle for where you are. It is your

strength. You need to get better and

better at it.

For the weakness item, determine

how you can get this done without

doing it yourself? Don't just keep

doing it. Find another way. Yes you

can. Now go and find that other way

to get it done.

Once you have the first one done,

then go on to the next one on each list.

Do this and watch what happens to

you, your life and your business.

Don't argue with me, just do it.

This weeks key to success:

Strengthen your strengths and

outsource your weaknesses.

Re: Charge what you're worth - [quote="Tami Szabo":292ze3jd]People will pay you what you ask. Very few will ever up the price. You are the one who decided what you are worth.

Rittenhouse says "For Life is a just employer, He gives you what you ask, But once you have set the wages, Why, you must bear the task. I worked for a menial's hire Only to learn, dismayed , That any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have willingly paid" (Napoleon Hill 35). I think the same can be said when setting prices on eBay or Craigslist, especially when people are trying to haggle you.
