Leadership

What is a leadership to you? Few people I knew are saying a leader who can lead with respect and honest. On the other hand, few people are saying a leader must be also a good manager. Wow, it is really subjective. A leader expert, Roberto kiyosaki said leadership is all about two things: honest & respect. Neither easy to be, that's why there are few good leaders. A leader to me can be describe a person who carried a positive attitude when encountering hard times for instance the exiting group of subordinate had been counter-offered by competitors and they left the place in overnight. What's gonna to do next? Are you willing to give up? Why do so? Are you willing to defeat by such circumstance where your people left in overnight? 

I strongly believe they ARE NOT. When a leader has stepped to top ladder position, would you think they are willing to give up? And of course, I'm yet to that level. Let's put myself into their shoe. An excellent leader will take this challenge to prove all they are wrong. They're wrong because they thought this leader will just left the position and look for better opportunity. If I were him in the past when I was still young, I surely will kick my ownk ass from this company. But I have seen went through number of failure and challenges, I believe will not give up until failure is an event and it is not a person. I trust this leader will have the same thought with me. Let's bring it on, thir more challenges you will encounter, the door of success eventually is welcoming you. Yes or no, not sure yet because this leader must be breakthrough the obstacles that he will be facing. This mean this leader is willing to accept the challenges and willing not give up, so the result at the end of the day, he could not FAIL. This definitely is not a battle where one person fighting in the war, they sure have a group of people still loyal and support him until the things have been changed and it obsolutely changes make a huge difference. This is so called the mind-set. 

Next, a leader to me can says someone is a person who leading a group of people to right way. The right ways mean to achieve short and long terms organization objectives. The way they think of, it is one thing beyond a leader control. Good or bad, right or wrong, it is still depending how they look at the scenario neither positive or negative. Positive mind set often produce a good result, or vice versa. So these group of people spirit can be spirit and soul for the organization. The leader mind set whale to lead them to the better track and better performance without monitoring or supervising frequently. 

As our famous book writer and motivator, Mr. Roberto Kiyosaki says honest and respect. I love the term RESPECT. When a leader recpect everyone in organization, what would be the atmosphere in workplace? I expect a leader as a good example to all of them. They are respecting each in the organization with no training provided. I have seen some good leaders are respect among their people working with them. Not also that, they are respect themselves. If someone is know how to respect themselves, basically they are a good leader.

Why we certainly can't maintain our performance?

Some people often said, "persistence is the route of success". Without this kind of attitude, you are actually half way on your feet heading to success paths. Perhaps everyone of us may has different kind of perception of success, some leader experts said "You require to Think Big. Action is better than speak." And of course, their great perceptions can be inspired you in terms of your thoughts and perspectives. There is nothing to lose if the more inspiration options to motivate you, the more faster you thought will be working out of it.

As what I can observed that the people are working with me last time and recently, the ways of thoughts can be consider hard working especially they understand what are their daily tasks and responsibilities. Indeed, it could be certain of group people they are understanding what actually they want in their life's. You and me maybe think about of our feet where actually we are heading to, what destiny we are moving forward and the value of life. This is main reason why we unable to maintain good performances in living. Some people argued that they are good enough such as their have obtained their financial freedom, live without debts, they have achieved the goals of life with kids in their family where they have found that it is what they are looking for.

As you can see, they are expecting no more goals as long as they have thought that a happiness family can be fulfilled yet they have children in their live. In my opinion, they yet achieve a happiness family if any circumstances that they have went through crisis economy, ultimately is retrenchment, business end up closed and no secure income as well as having bankrupt. It's juts few examples, it's wish no obligation at all. That's reason why the successful marketers and entrepreneur often react in advance yet they have obtained certain goals in their life. As recalled a statement from one of New York, Real Estate Tycoon Mr. Donald Trump said," Always seek for new challenges, if you do not know certain industry, do more research, do more background works and so forth. Always keep yourself hitting to the ground." What indeed saying here, you must keep moving forward to next destiny, tell yourself today is starts with new learning. "Rome wasn't built in a day." And of course, you must think that positively your goals can be obtained over a night. You must put more efforts and enthusiasm to keep yourself rolling.

Expecting The Best Instead Of The Worst

Be positive, my pals! Although there are many things happened in our life, we still need to carry with positive mindset in order to beat agaiinst negative thoughts. Develop a positive mind where you can always expect the best instead of the worst. Look at bad things happened differently. We can handle, solve, overcome it. There are no such ways that we can monitor by ourself. One tough thing is the way of thoughts which possess everyday.

You can led your positive ways to positive attitudes. Whatever the bad things occurred, it basically not as hard as you think, we must always seek for solutions. Solution comes from your personal experiences or else, they are people whom giving you many ideas that how you can look at problem in different scenes. In middle of course, you may undergo tougher decision, whether you have to decide it or allow to stick with problems until you can't really take a breath. This is worst situation will happen to you.

If you really breakthrough it, the problems are not problem anymore. We stay positively because of expecting the best before the worst will happen. We, however have been encountered difficult problems in which we unable to overcome, that reason it's beyond your control. You may need to perseverance until you expect what the best, you can be obtained it. Some expert said, be positive can be compound all happiness, joyful and cheerful in the same time." I could say, it extremely truth. A positive mind comes from changing your perspective or total outlook from negative to positive.

Get Off Your Duff & Do It In 2013

What does "Duff" mean to you? I am honestly telling you that initially I was not understand what does it mean, when there is new things and words to me, I usually will find and search deeply for my own understanding to get myself improve unless 1% of a day, a year of new learning could be unlimited & countless. Sounds logical and realistic, isn't it? I do not mean you should agree with me the ways how am I actually learning, no offense and obligation, i suggest you can keep this genius way as your reference how to grow yourself without paying much money and attending any tutorial to learn new things and knowledge. Back to story, what actual mean the "Duff" can be explained to 'useless, worthless, ineffective, broken or no good.' There are few explanation on this particular word. To me, I love to use 'no good'. How to describe this terms to you? How are you use it in your life? I have very good example how can you breakthrough your setbacks and challenges to overcome your feared.

Only a few months earlier, a friend of mine named Wilson, he is talented person and smart in areas of sales and marketing, he's putting all his efforts to learn how to market himself, and unfortunately he had mountain of debts on his behind. Why? I have no ideas. The worst is everyday is virtually paralyzed by fear. Sometime even the bankers had been dropped by his house to collect their bad debts from him. Although he is working now, but then he unable to pay his bills and rolled every month. It slowly grow like mountain of snows in short period of time. Obviously, he was thinking to declare bankruptcy, I did urge him that it is not advice him to declare that status. His thoughts had gave up his intention. And to make it worse, Wilson's wife just recently gave a birth of sweetie daughter's named Cecelia. He had eventually added his burned of his living in terms of financial constraint. Pretty sad to know that he is responsible now for the whole family expenses where his wife should stop being worked at couple of few months.

Wilson felt stuck, but then one day he can't get off his fear and until forced him went to bank and took along all unbills statements, old taxes returns. This was the best ways for him to get more financial support by banks. He got no ways to go unless he is willing to sitting down with bankers with solved the problems.

But guessed what, Wilson basically owned a house, which the one he is staying now more than 16 years. It was worth unexpected more than he noticed. That time, the bank officer told Wilson that if he refinanced his house, he could leveraged out of his bad debts and additionally have enough left over to pay more than a year of his baby's grocery stuffs. Obviously he went into that meeting scared, but he came out with empowered.

The moral of the story is, you have to act on your fears, not let them immobilize you. That’s only one of the lessons I learned when I was writing my book. Here are some more:

• You never know whether a situation represents a threat or an opportunity until you confront your fear and take action. Sitting on your duff will never give you the answer to that question. Unless you move ahead despite your fear, you will never know what you are up against.
  
• If you can see a positive goal behind what is scaring you, you are probably in a good situation, not a bad one. Sure you are stressed, but if confronting your fear will let you start a business, retire richer, or buy a property, then you had better move ahead and give it a try. If you can sense a worthwhile goal calling out to you, that is reason enough to move ahead.
  
• Taking action will open up even more possibilities for you. Perhaps you’ll get a loan for one investment house - and the income from that property will allow you to buy still more properties. Or the plan you make to eliminate your debt will free you to start making aggressive investments in only a few years. Moving ahead opens up new ways to succeed, while hiding from your fear only causes your life to collapse in on itself.
  

So remember to think like a baseball player. Can you hit a home run from the bench? Of course not! If you want to swing for the fences, you have to step up to the plate.
