Self Growth - How to Overcome Your Critics
They all know it's part of the success journey. They know they just can't get away from it. Let me share with you a powerful insight about your success and why it's critical for you to get this. ***The more successful you get, the more critics and complainers find their way to you. That's just how it is. And the quicker you realize this, the better off you'll be. It sometimes shocks me, the kind of emails I get. My ratio is I'd say 175 positive to 1 'critical' email and that's fine, but what makes me laugh is the critic'. Whining, complaining, this person wants everything for fr.ee. They even curse at you, call you names; in the 'Conquering Yourself' manual they call these people 'levelers'. Because they can't get over their own fear and weakness, they want to bring other people down, we see this in the trash tabloids everyday. Going for your dreams isn't easy, that's why it's so rewarding. What's even funnier is that the people who yell and curse can just unsubscribe themselves and never get an email again, but they'd rather 'raise themselves' by trying to bring someone else down. So what we do is unsubscribe them ourselves. Why am I telling you all this? Because I want you to get out there and kick some butt. I want you to be aware of the naysayers, critics, 'levelers'. It's necessary for you to be aware because if you're not, it's easy for them to bring you down. Every president, Bush, Clinton, every entrepreneur like Gates, Oprah, Spielberg, etc...they all have a ton of critics and they just keep moving forward. We're not here for everyone, just someone. Find those "someones" and serve them. Don't go where you're tolerated, go where you are celebrated. (read this again) Going for your dreams takes bravery, self-assertion, conquering and managing your weaknesses. Create a firestorm of success that melts away your critics. Become a doer, get excited, get motivated, and take action each day. The late President Teddy Roosevelt might have said it best: "It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." He did say it best. Sidestep the whiners and complainers and join a team of supercharged winners. Today's your day. Make your move. Mike Litman Mike Litman's Success Secrets

As a golfer and coach, I've been thrilled to watch the U.S. Open golf championship this week. I love the game, and have been privileged to coach some great players, so this tournament holds a special attraction for me.

Evaluating Your Associations (Part One) If you were to evaluate the major influences in your life that have shaped the kind of person you are, this has to be high on the list: the people and thoughts you choose to allow into your life. Mr. Shoaff gave me a very important warning in those early days that I would like to share with you. He said, "Never underestimate the power of influence." Indeed, the influence of those around us is so powerful! Many times we don't even realize we're being strongly affected because influences generally develop over an extended period of time. The Honor Roll of Life All too often, people pursue a vision of material success at the expense of the other aspects of their beingness.

Success isn't all that it's cracked up to be... I'm serious! Stop laughing! Succeed ! Are you successful? What does that word mean to you? Unlimited wealth, "toys" as far as the eye can see, or family gatherings at your cottage on the lake? Ensure Your Own Success Being organised is a major step to success and the most important things to organise are YOURSELF and your PLAN. A Stop On the Road of Life With three kids, a business, a husband with a business, a house, a yard, and a very close extended family, my time is at a premium.

He is also considered to be somewhat off the beaten path. As much as he is admired and respected by many, he is judged by just as many. The segment I found most intriguing was one about how others often say to him, "I would give anything to be a successful speaker and author just like you." Setting Yourself Up For Success Most people want to be successful in life. But success can mean different things to different people: making more money; spending quality time with your family; or learning to play a musical instrument. Why Many People Fail to Succeed You are never a failure until you accept defeat as permanent and quit trying. Everyone faces defeat. It may be a stepping-stone or a stumbling block, depending o�n the mental attitude with which it is faced. Tracking Success With A Goal Tracking Chart Creating a goal tracking chart is as simple as drawing a basic grid or table. Create as many vertical columns as you have goals to include, and include a horizontal row for every sub-goal or milestone you wish to divide your goals into, plus one row on top for your "Finish By" date and one row below for your goal heading or title. [Hint: Creating a goal tracking chart poster-sized on inexpensive and brightly colored poster board ensures visibility and accountability!] |
