Failure Is Not An Option

Many of us had thought that when we are doing one thing without putting their effort to achieve excellent results, aren't you? Most of us are believed this world never have free lunch. Why is this happen to them? They choose failure is an option. They have plenty of excuses to face the reality and without taking action to do it well, or else it shall be as what they thought in mind.  As I shared with some great articles in the past, I had been trying to stress that winners never ever quit and of course in reserve a quitters never win. Either the statement is right or wrong, or you choose you can't, you deserve to choose. You're right.

"Failure is not an option." Today post is most likely is taking about why majority of people choose failure is an option. It is all about a belief in their mind. They lack of confidence to adapt something changes in their lives. They are living in the comfort zone. Apart from that, they use to change nothing when they are also alerted that the economy is booming and fast-forward development all over in the country. They are likely act as conservative minded. When they were young, they have been told by their beloved parent to follow as what they done was correct. The different education background could be affected their behavior and thoughts. As leadership expert, Robert Kiyosaki often said, "If you follow your poor perspectives, they often tell you, you must focused your academic literacy, after that you get the good job. However, he said the rich often said, apart from academic focused, you must learn how to manage your financial. Let's the money works for you instead of you work for money." As you can see, they are having different thoughts. I should tell you now, our thoughts shape in our lives.

What you are doing, the power of our thoughts may never be measured or appreciated, but it became obvious to me as a young boy that there was value and power in being aware of my thoughts and how I expressed myself. I also noticed that in order to success you should understand on what you're interested to do, and do it now. Don't do it for money. It will strongly caused you destroy what you are dream for, your goals which you ever achieved if your don pursue it. Now we should know how to adopt something new without giving a statement to say, "failure is my option. I choose to failure." Never, never, never give up - Donald Trump as said. We should think big, dream big to ensure we are living in wealthy and healthy on our personal financially.

Money Is Not That Important

If you tell me that the money is not important, something is more valuable. Could you give a good example what you are trying to tell us? Certainly, I should respect you all different point of view. The money is not that important but it is something you need it for everything in your daily life. You just imagine that you are walking down the street, something is caught your attention and you want to buy it. If you have no money, don't you think you afford or able to buy it. No money, you can't visualized when you'll achieve your dreams one day. 

For instance, we can use this good example of crisis economy since it have been occurred In western Europe especially Greece, Spain, Portugal and so forth. Luckily it is happened in Malaysia at this time. Just imagine that how many of them did lost the job? The percentage of retrenchment is getting higher. It could be more unemployment will be coming up. For those people are unlucky where being retrenchment by giant in the industry. However, would you think yourself should just stop moving on for the rest of life? Look at yourself in the mirror, tell him/her " I will never give up no matter how difficult situation right now or in near future.

For majority people, money is everything. They believe that having a lot 

of money can bring them to the satisfaction level of which they have dreamed of. That’s how powerful of money. It can control the mind of an individual. Many people because of their obsession to have more money will do anything, even if they have to transfigure people into objects to acquire what they really want. That is why in our economy today, the rich become richer, and the poor become poorer. How sad it is to know that kind of reality.

Indeed, the rest of people seems have various of perception of money. What do you think? I strongly believe the most important how you evaluate the important of money for yourself.

Money is good but loving it makes it bad. We can work hard to earn more money. We can sell our properties and our other belongings to have money in emergencies. Remember, we should work not only for the sick of money but also for the reason of giving. Money is indeed important, but it is not everything.

Positive Respond When We're Facing Tougher Questions

I have observed my colleague's product training presentation this morning. From the beginning until at the end of session, I have rated him overall performance was 6 out 10. The reason was the audience has been posted a very tougher question when almost came to the end of presentation session. Although he had responded in professional ways, perhaps the audience quite dissatified of his answers, I guessed. If I were him during this situation, I will calm down before answering the question. Nevertheless, before that i will study some of tougher questions will be handled during presentation especially the product weaknesses. Anyway, I learned a great lesson today. I should thank him indeed. This lesson was taught me that "Always prepare an umbrella before raining day". Let's ask expert how can be countered a tougher questions in life when the situation was crowded with aundiences. Let's ask our Mr. Expert about this concerns. 

1. Clarify the question first. Customers often ask 2 basic types of questions which are specific questions in features of product against competitor or issues. While others should be more general questions which you will encounter it in every single presentation that you have conducted. At this time, a challenge to the conducter shall be rephrased the questions and ask he/she to repeat the question to further explain  what he meant  before answering. This is to avoid silly mistakes an answer to a question that wasn't even asked. 

2. Show Domain Expert. In this part, when you're confidence with your product, your company and how they compare your products against your competitor, you need not fear even the toughest questions. Frame the beginning of your answer with statement that confirm your credibility like "Based on my experience working with A,B and C companies, they ultimately to compare the product or offer with market competitor. Believe difference organizational has their own matter how to work on it and promote it with difference strength of marketing strategy or I've been asked that many times over the years.

3. Use their industry words. In order to build close relationship with your customers, we require to study their personal profile whenever it is possible. Next, you have to use their words and listen to them. Listen is  better than speak. Never ever use your buzzwords during the Q&A session in presentation. 

4. Demeanor speaks volume. The most powerful response to the most difficult question isn't solely a answer you give. It's also how you say it. Regardless of the question, keep a  calm and confident demeanor. Not only that, Keep a Cheerful Smiles whatever situation you are in. Most of all, do not get defensive. Stay positive. I trust this is critical lesson. "When confronted with by someone who disagree with your opinion, it's okay to disagree without being disagreeable."

5. Prepare yourself. Always prepare yourself for every single moment that business opportunity comes to you. Some customer may not need good answer when they throw tougher question, in other words, they may test your patience on how you have react. Take a deep breathe, you should not too eager to answer or to YES to every question you are asked. Prepare your answers in advance to protect yourself from uncomfortable questions about your products, company, and competitors.

Put Yourself Into Other People Shoes

A ex bosses of mine have taught me very good lesson, it could be priceless. "Think of people before think of yourself." What a quote for me on that day lesson. The real thing is you won't expect anything in return after you have put yourself into other people shoes. I have a good team around 11 players working with last time, I was only age 26 years responsible to lead the team to achieve management sales target. I have used all my efforts and time to develop from nothing until achieve result.

You must want to know how should I make use my capable skill to create extraordinary result. Let's me share my small achievement. I initially totally fresh and new when I assigned to become a group of small team without any experiences in real competitive corporation. I used to lead during my studies time but indeed it only can help me for personal skill and nothing extra you can expect. After 3 months later, my result was poor and bad. In other words, I didn't achieve management target.

From day to day, I must know what I have done right instead of thinking what I have done wrong. I was not realized until my boss came to me and have a short meeting session taught me what you need to do now, it's to ensure you must "put yourself into your staff shoes." I guessed initially will be scolded by him but the expectation was wrong. He's willing to guide me out. He's not asking for achieve your sales. He made me almost sweat my body.

After that day, I learned a lesson. I changed to use difference approaches to ensure they have listened and willing to work for me. It's work. I was going with each of them, listen to them and take care of them. However, I did expect nothing. What I want to address here, when you have realised something you never take good care or become good listener, you can go anyway, on the other hand, you also stay behind the track.
