Why We All Need A Coach
March 29, 2009 by
Filed under Conditioning, Productivity
The one critical reason why we all need a coach is that sometimes our perception of a situation is skewed and one dimensional. We all could do with someone to assist us to obtain a more balanced perspective in life.
It can be like riding a tobbogan down a hill in the snow again and again. There are many ways to get to the bottom but if you keep going down the same path you’ll make deep tracks that make you go faster but seriously limit your ability to change direction.
You get comfortably stuck in a rut.
If that rut is your life then the tracks that cause your problems are your fears, beliefs and habits.
Counter-Productive Belief
For a long time I ran my business with the belief that I should really look after my customers.
“Nothing wrong with that” I hear you saying to yourself. Perfectly true. But it wasn’t until someone helped me see what I couldn’t. That yes, I was looking after my customers but I wasn’t looking after me. There was an awful lot I was doing at my expense while thinking I was doing the right thing.
I was unable to see both sides of the equation.
Once seen from this new perspective and acted upon, it made a huge difference in terms of profit and self confidence.
Sport and Life
Having a coach to help you with your goals, beliefs and to develop empowering habits really does make sense. How many top sports people do you know that don’t have a coach? I’m certainly not aware of any.
You are participating in the most important game of all, your life.
Make the most of it.

Negative Beliefs
March 23, 2009 by

Following on from my previous post, “Lightbulb Moment”, examining how success and productivity can be stymied by emotional reactivity.
“The highest form of maturity is self inquiry”. Martin Luther King Jr.
As I continued observing myself during and after times of stress and upset, it reconfirmed what I had learned already. All upsets were an opportunity to learn the truth about me.
Many people won’t look at themselves, maybe because they’re scared of what they may find out.
Angry Man
I worked with a man some years ago who was very angry – he seemed to carry a chip on his shoulder. His whole world view was based on the belief that nobody can be trusted; it’s every man for himself and that people will cheat you if they get a chance. As a result of this belief he attracted the sort of people who lived up to that expectation – very much a self-fulfilling prophecy.
The trouble was that he didn’t realise that when he used the words “nobody can be trusted” that that clearly included himself. He flatly
refused to consider that maybe his beliefs were the cause of his misery.
Blaming others was and probably still is an easy way out for him.
Most of our problems arise from a resistance to “what is”. No amount of moaning and groaning is going to change what has happened, yet we persist.
“Clear thinking requires courage rather than intelligence.” Thomas Szasz
Baseless Fear
The really sad part about stories like this is that the fear of what you might find out about yourself is greater can be greater than the pain you are actually in.
Ultimately this fear is baseless. What is scary is the fear itself.
These types of reactionary upsets can really stop you succeeding and reduce your productivity whether you are at work or not. But in another sense they are like gold and something to be grateful for because they present wonderful opportunities to gain self-acceptance and bring you more into the present.
I’ll cover a simple way of doing that in my next post.

Lightbulb Moment

“Holding a grudge is like drinking poison then waiting for it to kill your enemy” Nelson Mandela
I took an instant dislike to a young man I had never seen before. It was quite unreasonable, and at first I never tried to understand it. I was refereeing indoor soccer, and as soon as he took to the court to play with his new team I started to give him a hard time. I couldn’t stand him, right from the start.
I picked on him mercilessly. I penalised him every opportunity I could for the slightest indiscretion and sent him off regularly. What I saw was a cocky, arrogant boy who cared for no one but himself. He was a good player who enjoyed being the centre of attention and who treated the opposition with contempt.
Every time I blew the whistle for some perceived violation I could actually see he was wondering, “What did I do wrong? What have I done to make him hate me like this? What is going on here? I’ve just come here to enjoy myself and I am being picked on.”
I could see that, and yet I kept up my unreasonable prejudice against him. I didn’t like myself much for it, but I felt powerless to stop it.
And then, one day, it hit me – right in the heart.
When I looked at him, I was seeing myself at his age.
I had not realised it, but his mannerisms, facial features, attitude and style of play were very similar to my own.
And I did not like what I saw. From that moment on I was never bothered by him again. In fact, I felt sorry for him.
That realisation started me thinking about my attitude and other upsets in my life. I began to reflect on other situations that may have reflected my own behaviour. I can now see that most upsets of a reactive or knee-jerk nature that I have are not about what I think they are.
They are about me.
Have you ever experienced this? Want to know how I overcame it and am a happier person because I did??

Are Your Staff Slowly Killing You?
And three emotions you need to avoid if you want to survive.
How do you rate your health?
If you rate your health as very good give yourself a five out of five. If you rate your health as very poor give yourself a one out of five.
Why this is important
It’s important because research indicates the lower you rate your own health, the earlier you will die even if you currently have no disease or risk factors. This self rating system has been research and validated by studying over 44,000 identical twins.
So how does rating ourselves impact our health? It has been discovered that how we feel about our situation in life has a big impact on us physically. Therefore if we feel bad about a certain situation for example lame and lazy staff who are unproductive and drain your energy, then your thinking will trigger an emotional reaction that may well be prematurely aging you and even slowly killing you.
“Thoughts and emotions are interwoven: every thought, however bland, almost always carries with it some emotional undertone, however subtle”
Restak
How quickly thoughts can kill you.
In 1964 a newspaper headline read “Man Freezes to Death in Refrigeration Car”. The man had become trapped inside when the door accidentally slammed on him. When he was found the next day he had all the physical symptoms of having been frozen to death. Yet the refrigeration unit was switched off and at no time had the temperature been at or even close to freezing. The man had in one night talked himself into dying. Your thoughts have a dramatic impact on your body.
“Life consists in what a man is thinking of all day.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The emotional black spots.
There are four emotions that have the potential to send a flood of toxic chemicals through your brain that not only increase the risk of memory loss but also prematurely age you and reduce your life expectancy. These emotional black spots are depression, anxiety, anger and low self esteem. Since 1929 the life span of Oscar winners have been measured against other actors and the findings suggest that winning an Oscar increases your life expectancy by 3.9 years because it elevates the recipient’s self esteem and reduces the prevalence and the impact of the four emotional black spots.
How business owners can protect their brain
Today no business owner should have to put up with prolonged worrying staffing situations that make them prone to bouts of depression, anxiety, anger and low self esteem. There are now brilliant psychometric tests and selection processes that can eliminate the risk of ever hiring a stressful staff member and it makes more than complete sense to use them. The focus of the Profitable Personnel recruitment process is to assist business owners to find staff that will not only build their business, but will do so in a stress free manner that enhances the business owners quality of life both financially and emotionally.

Who Wants To Know 9 Ways to Reward Good Work That Are More Effective Than Giving Money?
March 7, 2009 by
Filed under Profiling
And two crucial secrets to making your team work.
Research suggests that non cash rewards are more effective and less expense than cash rewards. An example of non cash reward is time off and having the choice of working on projects they like. I recently visited a company in Melbourne whose staff set the production goals and all the staff wanted as their reward was to go home when the work was done. Believe it or not the staff set the production targets 25% higher than the management team had ever expected.
This small business is now thriving and has now become a thriving national business, EVEN IN A “RECESSION”. And here’s an interesting point, they don’t hire well trained professionals because professionals have “attitude” and believe everyone should be as knowledgeable as they are, and therefore they tend to talk down to people.
So here are two of their crucial business secrets:
Secret One: They hire based on behaviours not qualifications.
Secret Two: All the systems in the business were so well defined that anyone could come into their business and become productive after 5 days, as long as they had the right behaviours.
Would you like a 25% increase in your team’s profitability?
If you want to change employee behaviour research reveals that the reward will need to be between 5 to 8 percent of an employee’s salary…IF YOU USE CASH. The facts are the best rewards are not cash and they are far more effective. Non cash rewards that are effective are often only half the value of cash rewards, but believe it or not they are far more effective!
Here are nine cheaper and far more effective ways to reward staff that than money.
1. Recognition
2. Time Off
3. A piece of the action
4. Favourite work
5. Advancement
6. Freedom
7. Personal growth
8. Fun
9. Prizes.
Secret Three: The funny thing is staff are often far more satisfied when obtaining non cash rewards and the research suggests staff satisfaction drives your businesses profits sky high.
A recent survey conducted by the Gallup organisation looked at employee attitudes and the impact on business outcomes. They found that businesses where employees had high job satisfaction also had:
Do you want 27% higher profits?….if yes here are the steps.
Step One: Hire your staff on their behaviours not their qualifications.
Step Two: Reward your staff with non cash incentives.
Are you great at picking the right staff the first time round?
Are you able to focus on growing your business and not managing problem staff and their toxic behaviours?….If no then
“Learn from the mistakes of others.
You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself.”
(Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) First Lady of the USA 1933- 1945).
The Profitable Personnel Recruitment Program has examined numerous methods of getting staff who have the right behaviours and through trial and effort we have refined a process that works. That’s why there is a double your money back guarantee. If you are not a selection specialist and you seriously want 22% higher productivity, and 27% higher profits then there is a way to achieve this and that’s by using Profitable Personnel Recruitment Program.
“Profit is the applause you get for taking care of your customers and creating a motivating environment for your people.”
