A Happy Person is a Successful Person!

How do you
achieve happiness, the kind that lasts all day? Robert Frost wrote, "Happiness
makes up in height for what it lacks in length." While this is a beautiful
aphorism depicting the spirit of the human condition, there are many concrete
strategies to assist you in making happiness go the distance. Here is a sample
weekday happiness schedule: Morning
* If you are
jolted out of bed by your alarm clock, you are already starting your day
stressed which means anything can set you off. Hit the snooze button. Just a
few minutes more in bed and you wake up gently and in control while you prepare
yourself emotionally. Savor these "stolen moments." * Eat a balanced breakfast of complex carbs and lean protein - food and mood go
together. * Change your seat at the kitchen table to see things from a fresh perspective.
Don't eat on the run! * Get up a little earlier and reap the mood-elevating benefits of an quick
outdoor walk. * Use your daily commute as an opportunity to listen to motivational or
educational material. Nothing lifts the spirit more than personal growth. * Greet every person you see with a smile. Happiness is propelled by numbers.
When you are acknowledged, you feel validated and energized. Pay it forward.
Afternoon
* Keep in
mind the correlation between food and mood. Eat a balanced lunch. Exercise
during half of your lunch break to move stress out of your body and increase
focus to avoid that afternoon slump. You can walk, stretch or do exercises that
use the body's own resistance. Your ability to find solutions will improve. * De-clutter every afternoon. The day's chaos accumulates to weigh you down.
Clear out your desk, your fridge, a drawer, the mail or your pocket book to
liberate your energy. * Have a late afternoon healthy snack to keep energy levels at peak
performance. Drink a hot liquid like herbal tea to signal relaxation. You can't
gulp a hot liquid.
Evening
* Unwind and
enjoy your personal space with happiness rituals. * To help you unwind before sleep and release toxins: First put your feet in a
pot of hot water (a temperature you can tolerate) for one minute and then
immediately place them in a pot of cold water for thirty seconds. Repeat this
cycle 3 times. This hot/ cold treatment releases toxins from your feet - the
body's foundation. The heat circulates the blood; the cold water reduces the
swelling. The cold pulls out toxins and the heat
brings blood and nutrients in the expansive phase. * Don't eat after 10:00PM or 2 hours before you go to bed - you don't want your
body working to digest food while you are trying to sleep. * To unwind before sleep: instead of that endless to-do list playing in your
head, how about a "Look what I did today list!" Sweet dreams...

What is Your Purpose?
|  It is critical that there is a primary purpose behind every salesperson and
company. This primary purpose
always and axiomatically leads to great
success, business, wealth and personal fortune.With it, you will always succeed. You
make it virtually impossible not to succeed. I would say, actually,
that you make it 100% impossible to fail when you infuse everything you do,
every action you take, every service you provide, every transaction you
conduct, and the way you conduct it with this primary purpose behind
it.
If this is absent from your business, you are
destined to continually struggle growth-wise, sales-wise, cash-wise and
fulfillment-wise. Worse, your customers and clients will not receive the
greatest benefit he or she deserves.
The primary purpose of any sales
person or company-huge, medium, or tiny-is to provide the highest degree of
service, value and result to every person or organization that inquires of you,
asks for advice from you, and buys or sells a property with you.
This is your purpose. This is your highest, truest, and most rewarding mission
as a business owner or sales professional. You see, the success of your
business has nothing to do
with you. It has nothing to do
with any self-serving desires to attain success and wealth and recognition and
freedom and fulfillment from your activity. These self-attainments are one or
more of the major reasons you have created the business you've created. And
they're important reasons.
But they should NOT be, and cannot be, the primary reason. Your primary purpose MUST
BE to serve every individual who is drawn to
you, in whatever way, and for whatever reason, at the very highest and best
level you and your company can manage.
Be crystal clear, your success and
mine has nothing to do with you or me. Your success is ONLY and EVERYTHING to
do with your customer or client. It is ALL and ONLY about them, not you or me. Your self-serving
interest, or mine, has no influence at all on what will draw customers or
clients. None at all.
The ONLY attribute that will draw
customers to you is the VALUE and RESULT that you provide and through, or as a
result of, your service, When you make utmost value and
tangible result your primary purpose in business,
you will discover customers are drawn to you in their hundreds, mostly through
word of mouth and referral. It's simple to understand why. Imagine you are, right now, the BEST provider of
real estate services in your market. The very best. Nowhere can people or
organizations go to receive a higher, better-value, greater, more satisfying
result than they receive each time they work with you.
The minute that's the case, and my friend, or neighbor, or colleague, or
business associate tells me of the astonishing value and result he or she received from your
service and I am in the market for the same-that's the minute you turn your
entire business and entire effort into a glorious success, and a sustainable success. Because, why on earth would
I, or the hundreds, or thousands of others in the market for real estate
services, go to a lessor or unknown provider?
I, and they, wouldn't, in most
cases. I would buy from you,
because you have come highly
recommended. I have been told of your unusual caring, your unusual degree of
genuine interest and desire to provide every customer with tangible value and
result from their transaction.
Every morning, take just a minute
or two to remind yourself what your primary function in business is: to serve
and deliver actual result to
your customer or client. Your customers will recognize your purpose and
actions, and will revere you for them, and reward you with their ongoing
opportunities, and recommending of you to their family, friends, colleagues,
associates, for weeks, months and years to come.
