A Message from The Global Partners Group
What makes some people more successful than others?
I sometimes hear people say, "What's wrong with me?" "Why is it taking me so long to become successful?" "Why can't I find the right people?" "Why isn't my organization growing?"
I know these questions well, as we have asked these very questions ourselves when we started in this industry 25 years ago. It is not uncommon to question the growth of your business. It is very common and expected in every business to always be evaluating what works and what doesn't work.
We kept wondering why it wasn't happening until we heard that we had to work on ourselves first. So, we started to work on ourselves. Our business started to really grow when we started to grow ourselves. Evaluate your business and ask the question, 'Is it me?'
I knew we had to have more confidence, dress a little better and take a leadership roll. We knew we had to act, think and believe that we were already there.
We have watched people over the last 25 years in this industry become successful and some, struggling to get there. We noticed the people who became successful where the ones who were always working on themselves. The ones that were teachable. The ones that were willing to learn what the successful people do, say and read. The ones that were consistent. The ones that held their head high and looked, act, and believed that they were already there. They knew they were going to get there, it was just a matter of time.
We have found that the main key to success is personal growth. Personal development is working on you as a person. What is going to give you confidence, improve your attitude, and improve your belief in yourself? Reading and hanging around people of like minds. People who have something to offer you in terms of education, stimulating your mind and opening it up to new ideas, and exciting possibilities. Living with a negative spouse, negative friends with limited thinking and future possibilities? Get out of the house and change your circle of influence. There is much to learn, much to do and much to achieve in life.
Working on developing a good circle of influence is paramount to your success. All successful leaders past and present work on developing a good circle of influence. Where do the successful people hang out? Where can I meet people like this? Service clubs, getting involved in your community, joining social clubs and the list goes on.
Observing your own personal growth and attitudes is something you always need to be aware of. Learn something new every day. Never stop growing. Be a sponge for learning. Experience life. We are not here for a long time, so live a life of prosperity and abundance. If not now when? Make it happen now. Be more, do more, become more! It is all here for the taking.
Start now!
Make every day count!
