How to Nail Your RESULT Every Time

filming_on_locationI’ve recently started screen acting for fun.

I thought it would be cool to learn how the greats deliver a real performance that moves cinema-goers into a new experience of life.

It involves a level of mastery and presence… Think Al Pucino and you’ll see what’s inspired me.

Anyway, this weekend I was working on a show reel… basically a demo reel which show cases an actor for casting directors to see what they can do.

How To (Finally) Have The Confidence To Succeed

10 My guess is that you read this blog because you know there is something more you can be experiencing in your life. You’re inspired on the inside… you know you have so much more to offer the world, and deep down you know you know that you deserve so much more (cash!) than is showing up in your world right now.

It could be you’re frustrated by a current income barrier.

You may want to start your own business, or get out of your current job. It could even be that you’ve historically done well by most peoples’ standards, out on your own, but you really want to step out and up your game in 2014.

You may even want to raise your rates, or get your first customers, or switch and do something you love, but feel like you’re not qualified or confident enough to charge adequately for what you do…

How To Motivate Yourself to do a Project

AchievementWe all know that feeling.

The sheer frustration and exhaustion of knowing what your goal is and even though you’re making slow incremental progress you’re going to want to be on to something else before you actually get it realised. Motivation starts to wane. That fire you had in your belly to get it done is now a feeble wisp of smoke, and you find any distraction under the sun to avoid getting back to what you know you should be doing.

Sucks doesn’t it?

Especially since you’re not an un-motivated person, but that feeling of having to push, push, push, just wears you away, and you wonder… “Where the heck did my Mojo go?”
Well, what if I told you that the reason you might be struggling on this particular goal isn’t because there is something wrong with you. It’s also not because you’re “not talented enough”, “not good enough”, or  “not clever enough”.

It also has nothing to do with how difficult the goal is, or what the marketplace or the rest of the industry is doing.

That’s right. You really did read that right.

“So what on earth *does* it have to do with?”

Keep reading, because we’re going to explore something you have probably never even considered before.

How to Build Your Dream While Still Paying The Bills

build dreamSometimes you don’t get to live your dream. At least not right now.

That’s okay.

Sometimes you have other priorities or other responsibilities or other things you just need to be doing instead.

This fact of life can cause huge amounts of stress, strain and guilt to someone who knows they have gifts and abilities they’re not using. I get that. I really do.

Conventional wisdom at the moment dictates that the time to live your truth and follow your passion and chase your dreams is right now. Not tomorrow, not next week, but today.

They say that if you don’t drop everything to follow this dream, that you don’t want it enough, or aren’t strong enough or smart enough. That you’re fearful and brainwashed and wasting your precious time.

I say that’s crazy!  Continue reading “How to Build Your Dream While Still Paying The Bills”

Ask the Readers: Finding Customers

Well as you probably already know, we’ve started doing a new feature – where you get to show case your insights and knowledge, help others in the Wire Yourself for Wealth community and also add to the synergy of what we’re building here.

I know you have much wisdom to share, so here’s an opportunity.

Below is a question from a member of the WYFW community, Lynn Silva.

Have a read, and then feel free to leave a comment and share what you think she can do to solve her problem.

To keep it interesting I’m sending the best response a copy of one of my favourite business books: “Getting to Plan B” by John Mullins and Randy Komisar.

“Best” can be most helpful, most insightful, or most entertaining – I’ll know when I see it. 😉

Over to Lynn:-

“I currently do crisis intervention and am so burned out.  It’s nights and weekends.  I’m a single parent and cannot tell you what I go through trying to maintain adequate childcare for my 2 girls.

How To Blast Through Barriers And Get Your Motivation Back, by Gary Korisko

fist_through_wall_breakthroughSee if this sounds familiar.

As you begin your day, you sit down and mentally survey the work that lies ahead of you.

You review the scheduled tasks on your calendar – and that gets you thinking about the short and long term goals you have for yourself. What should you do today to move yourself closer to completing those?

 

What should you do first? Second? Third? If you start project A – you might run into scheduled task B… which would totally throw off your momentum… so should you even begin project A?

 

And then the emails and phone calls start… further throwing off any hope you had of mounting an organized, linear effort to get things done.

Before you know it, you’re stuck. Confused… with no clear plan of how to move forward.

How To Have Power Over Procrastination

Business-Man-Doing-NothingHaving a task list as long as your arm is one of the most debilitating things we ever have to face.

It’s like when you know you could just about conjure the energy to do one or two of the items – but the prospect of then having all the rest of the list to get through is just too overwhelming.

So, like most people, maybe you opt for a different approach?

You make a coffee. You find something else to do. You return some calls, or lose yourself in your email… justifying that the emails need to be handled. If only you didn’t have so many distractions constantly throughout the day.  If only you had more hours.

How to Silence Your Inner Critic

little girl quietAh the inner critic.

That nagging voice in the back of your mind which constantly regurgitates all manner of doubts and criticism. You may hear it in the voice of a parent, a teacher, an older sibling…. No matter what ‘voice’ it sounds like it’s always negative, unsupportive, and makes you hesitate, and constantly second-guess yourself. It’s like a constantly-running dialogue whilst you’re trying to focus on what you need to do.

As a result you squirm and try to think harder as you’re performing the task, trying to counter-act the criticism by being careful “not to say it like that”, or “to sit up straight”,  or “don’t let them think that about you”.

“Nobody want to listen to you”, “who wants to hear your opinion”… “look they’re bored”, “you should have said it like that”… nag, nag, nag.

Your inner critic has a lot to answer for. It’s been constantly running your life, putting you on edge and making you feel like a second class citizen for, well…EVER!

[Revealed] The Important Thing No One Tells You About Making Money

reality checkIt’s time for a reaity check.

Making money is a charged topic for most people. It can be frustrating, and heartbreaking when it’s not going well, but an emotional high when it is. The truth is, if it were just a case of working hard, most folks would be millionaires. But this isn’t the truth, and there is a lot of misinformation and hype which really sets unrealistic expectations and if you don’t know the truth about what it takes to make money you could find yourself bitterly disappointed.

It is for this reason that I’m setting the record straight and talking about some of things you need to understand if you want to make money.

Sure, there are lots of courses and programmes out there to help you make money using a certain strategy, and there are lots of testimonials on their sites that back that up… But the reality is, it’s just not that cut and dry.

Think about it: if anyone could mindlessly follow step 1, step 2, step 3, then you wouldn’t be bothering to read this, because you’d already have everything you wanted. In fact, if that were the case, this would be the holy-grail that we would carve into stone and teach in every classroom throughout the realm…
