claire-hall

by CLAIRE HALL Normally I am all for New Years resolutions but as I get older and hopefully slightly wiser, I can see it is more of an opportunity for short-sighted wishful thinking than an actual commitment to improve ones life. If you are ... more

FALLING IN LOVE HOWEVER YOU LOOK AT IT IS A GREAT FEELING. GAYNOR PARKE SHOWS HOW FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOUR BUSINESS IS A SURE-FIRE WAY TO GUARANTEE IT'S SUCCESS.

Falling in love with your business is essential for any level of success. The act of falling in love with a business can have the same effect on your body as falling in love with a partner. When you fall in love, your body actually changes biologically by producing endorphins that stimulate adrenaline so you have more energy. Feeling good always creates more good feelings and happy events around you. Due to this overall feeling of well-being, you are less likely to be negatively affected by problems around you, so you will work more efficiently and creativity usually increases.

If you are already in a job or have a business, start doing more of what really stimulates you. Delegate more of the things that annoy you or leave you feeling depleted. Try partnering with someone who loves to do what you hate to do. If you are looking to start a business find something that you love to do; a business that brings you such joy you would do it for free. The world is a brighter place and things flow more easily when you are in love. This is the only sure path to personal happiness and a real chance at success.

So what is the best business to get into if you are looking to start a business I hear you ask? Simply, there is no single business that is best for everyone. It's up to you to search for what interests you, and stirs a deep passion within you. Search for something that provides enormous personal satisfaction regardless of the level of financial success. Doing something just for the money will bleed you dry of all your drive and inspiration. You will become frustrated and possibly even create illness in your body. Believe me, as I did just that. Your financial success is related to your emotional happiness level so why not listen to your heart and create a business that you love, as you will be happy and you may even attract the person of your dreams if you haven't already done so.

Biology shows us that when we are in an endorphin pumping state (that's what love and passion will do for you) we are enthusiastic, vibrant full of energy and inspired to the right action. How many times have you heard people say, "do what you love and the money will follow?" Create a business or do a job where you look forward to doing what you do. These days we call it playing to your strengths. The more time you spend "in love" with what you do, or playing to your strengths, the more productive you will be, the more creative you will be, the happier you will be. The world is a better place when you are in love.

As Bob Dylan said - "A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do."

So if you are not in love with your business right now look for ways to spend more time doing the things you love. If you can't find ways of increasing that love meter at work, take time out of work to follow a passion. Don't know what you are passionate about? Well there are ways of uncovering that too but that's a subject for another article. Meanwhile look or all sorts of things that "ring your bells" and create more love in your life.

Being in love with your business will most certainly fast track you to Advanced Success, as love is the most powerful force in the Universe at work and at play.

Which is best - in person or phone/internet coaching?

noel-posusby NOEL POSUS Since the dawn of coaching there has always been a bit of debate about which is better: in person or phone (including internet VOP calls like Skype) coaching. What is your preference and for what reasons? Certainly, it can be easily argued that in person coaching has the potential to provide both the coach and the coachee quite a few opportunities to establish rapport, watch body language, review models, draw mind maps or complete wheels of life tools together, and so on... more
