What Did Lila’s Heart Tell Her? Motivational Story…

Lila is a nice smart lady.
She enjoys doing the things she loves.
She enjoys her life.
She is a dreamer like you and me.
She has big dreams and she honestly work towards achieving them.
But from past few days she was not feeling well.
She was doing her best but she was not getting success as she wanted.
So many things in her life were not as she expected to be. 
I think you can imagine that stage in our life, when we
work so hard on something but we don’t get the results we want.
Same was the condition with Lila. All the hard work Lila was doing not giving her the desirable results.
And finally she starts to think about quitting.
Her mind stops, brain doesn’t see any solution and all of a sudden she feels like going away from all this.
She gets ready, put on her shoes and decides to go for a walk in a quiet little park in her neighbourhood.
As she is walking and thinking about giving up on her dream, she unknowingly puts her hand on her heart.
And she feels the heart beats.
And as if those heart beats are trying to say her something.
In the flash of a moment she gets the real message.
As if her heart beats are saying, “If I haven’t given up on you, why should you?”

#Moral of the story,
Sometimes in your life, if you feel things are not working out as they should be.
You don’t know what to do.
Your mind and brain stops to help you and there is also no one else to support you.
I want you to go for a lonely walk and as you are walking keep your hand on your heart.
If it is still beating then it is telling you something…
“If I haven’t given up on you, why should you?
Keep going and have a hope that everything will be alright very soon.
If I haven’t given up on you, why should you?”

Keep in touch.

This is crucial to help you bring work-life balance and it will also help you make your life highly efficient and productive.
People who don’t practice this, experience an imbalanced life.

So what are these 4 Things?
At any point in time you are working in your life towards any of these 4 Things. It may be one of the 4 things or you may be working on combination of these 4 Things.
These 4 Things are: Career, Finance, Health, and Relationships.
You are either working to have or improve:
1.       Your Career or
2.      Your Finances or
3.      Your Health or
4.      Your Relationships

Company You Keep Says A Lot About You

Humans are social animals. We cannot imagine our life without our near and dear ones. Everyone needs someone to share their sorrows, happiness, fears and feelings. Friends hold a very important and special place in our lives. All other relations are bestowed upon us but friends are the one we choose and that’s what it makes it so special. In fact friends influence our lives the most. And it’s very true that the company you keep says a lot about you.

Friends can influence you positively or negatively in many walks of life. Positive friends will support you in the hour of need. You don’t have to go all about asking for help because the chances are that they may be there for you even without you asking them for help. On the other hand negative friends enjoy the failure of others which in turn makes you feel more miserable about yourself and your situation. Positive friends help you to rebound from the negative phase of your life and bring out the best in you. Many times people have goals which they are scared or ashamed of sharing with others. In such situations people find it more comfortable sharing their secret goal with positive friends. For example, somewhere in the corner of your heart you wanted to learn dance or pursue any other hobby but due to other responsibilities you could not. In such situations negative friends would give you reasons why it won’t you be successful or how it won’t be feasible. On the contrary positive friends would be appreciative of your goals and would encourage you to chase your unfulfilled dreams without being judgemental. Positive friends who are physically active will irritate you, bug you, and tease you to follow your exercise regimen. Exercise becomes more fun with a good friend by your side. Positive friends help you feel good about yourself and enhance your self-esteem and negative friends add on to your stress levels. If we have friends who stand by us through thick and thin, who encourage us and have belief in our dreams we can achieve the impossible and pessimistic friends will demotivate us and demoralize our spirits. So it’s very important to choose your friends wisely.

Here I would like to add a quote by Dr.Steve Maraboli”If you hang out with chickens you’re going to cluck and if you hang out with eagles, you’re going to fly”.

Keep in touch.

How to Recover FAST from the Bad Day at work?

Many of my clients have shared this issue. Having Bad day at work and it has taken long time for them to recover from it.
If you ever had this sort of feeling or if you know someone who is facing this issue; then following short message will definitely help.
Just for example, imagine that for some XYZ reason, you had a bad day at work. You are nervous, frustrated and exhausted.

Here are my top strategies to help you Recover FAST from the Bad Day at work.
The only reason it takes longer for you to recover is that you may still be focusing on the pain part of the bad day. It may be: How it has happened? What pain it has caused to you? How did you feel during the bad part of the day? etc.

Now, use this 3 step strategy:
1. To feel better faster you need different and empowering thoughts and to get these, faster, change your physiology. If you are just sitting and thinking about pain then get up and do some physical activity. Go for run, Go for brisk walk, Jogging, or Jumping Jacks (This is my favorite because it is easy and in majority of the cases it can be done anywhere, in any weather conditions). Do anything that will change your physical state.
2. Immediately after this listen to the energetic songs, music. If possible listen to motivational audios, videos. (Now a days you can easily keep this with you all the time in your mobile)
3. Make an empowering phrase for you and repeat it, as long as you can. Here are some of the empowering personal phrases used by my clients:                
         (a) I’m the Best.
         (b) I can handle anything.
         (c) I’m Smart.
         (d) I can do it.
         (e) I’m capable of anything etc.
         Make sure your empowering phrase starts with “I”.

This 3-step strategy is easy to follow and you don’t need anybody else to help you for this. Therefore it is totally self-dependent and this will very quickly put you in the strong state.

In summary, I’ll share a secret.
Don’t think about the pain from the painful, lousy state.
First take yourself to strong state and then you’ll feel more confident, empowered and resourceful to deal with any issues in your life. ( Then recovering from Bad day at work will be just a piece of cake for you). All the Best.

Remember,
Inside you there is a huge potential; All the time.
Learn to release that hidden potential and
You can achieve anything in your life.
Simply Train Your Brain and Go For Success.

How to improve Confidence?

Confidence is not about ‘knowing’ everything but it is about ‘trusting’ your abilities that you can handle anything!  Everyone (including YOU) already owns the confidence needed in every circumstances.

But then you may ask why do we feel ups and downs in the confidence we carry?
My dear friend, it’s not due to absence of confidence but it’s due to presence of some other things in your mind. These things are
– Bad beliefs (B),
– Fear (F),
– Bad memories about past events or past critics (M),
– Doubts (D) and
– Your Dependencies (De) on some people or things.

Imagine an old fashioned weighing scale. On one side it’s confidence and on the other side it’s other things – B, F, M, D & De.
Whichever weighs high sends the signal to your mind and your mind just displays what signal it gets.

When the other things seem big, we automatically tell ourselves that we don’t have the confidence. The word to look for is ‘seem’. That means it may not be real. Other things just appear to be big.
Now for any reason, if you feel, you have a confidence problem then what can you do about it?

The answer is “First Make Yourself Trustworthy (in your own eyes)” and for that start with these 2-Steps.
1. Positive Self Talk:

Remember this Golden Rule from Brain Tracy: No one is better than you and No one is smarter than you. If they seem better or smarter, they have just started before you.

My friend, instead of self- sabotaging, help your inner core to get better.
Sabotaging hurts but support helps to prepare you to create miracles in the future.
It doesn’t matter where you are if you know where you are going. Focus on your talents and skills. No body is perfect. And don’t even fall in the trap of waiting to be perfect. I have a powerful saying in my personal diary and it is: Focus on Excellence not perfection because perfection is a perception and it keeps changing.

2. Plan and Prepare:

Stay ready for the unknowns by developing some preset strategies to deal with them. In our day to day life we cannot avoid unknowns or unwanted surprises but we can definitely deal with them by predefined set of actions.
One of my coaching clients had come up with a method called as 3-Seconds. He has trained himself to wait for 3-Seconds before he give reply to any unknowns or unwanted surprises and it works because
(a) He doesn’t instantly lose his confidence and
(b) In that strong state he generally gets a better solution to deal with the situation. You can try it if you like.
If you follow above 2 steps, you’ll definitely feel improvement in your confidence.

Keep in touch.

(Don't Miss the Secret Extra Bonus INSIDE)

Which one thing you would choose to work on again and again if you want Sense of Satisfaction, Freedom and Sense of Contribution to make this world a better place?

If you ask me, I would say: The best answer is: Become Successful Entrepreneur.

In old days, Entrepreneurship was about starting a business. However that definition is incomplete in this new world.

Today, entrepreneurship is all about helping people solve their problems, taking them from where they are to where they want to be and getting paid for doing that (yes, getting paid is important too).

It’s true for both online businesses and offline businesses.

We can see the increasing trend in today’s professionals to choose entrepreneurship as a new career than just keep working on a job for the life time.

However,

There are numerous challenges faced by these budding entrepreneurs.

Here are the Top 10 of them:

(1) Worry about their Financial Safety

(2) Lack of Knowledge about exact Next Steps

(3) Lack of real life Business Idea

(4) Lack of Required Self-Confidence

(5) Lack of Success Coach / Mentor

(6) Fear of Failure

(7) Non Supportive People around them

(8) Lack of Clarity

(9) Lack of Big Dreams

(10) Fear to Leave Comfort Zone

I’ve personally experienced most of these challenges before I became a Successful Author, International Speaker and Branding Expert.

Here are my 10 keys for your success in Entrepreneurship venture:

(1) Make Financial Safety Plan

(2) Get Strategic Knowledge about exact Next Steps

(3) Identify Business Idea that works

(4) Build Self-Confidence

(5) Get Success Coach / Mentor to help you

(6) Learn Strategies for Success

(7) Build Supportive Team

(8) Get Clarity of Future

(9) Set Big Dreams & Passion

(10) Make Effective Blue print to Succeed

You don’t need everything at the beginning however you will need to look after most of the things during your Entrepreneurial journey.

However, the journey of Entrepreneurship can seem lonely because you will be burning mid night oil to look after various pieces of the unknown puzzle and it will seem like giving up in between.

Imagine you are going for a mountain climbing adventure. It’s all excitement and passion at the beginning. However when the terrain gets harder and harder (which is true in majority of the cases) you may feel like stuck somewhere in between. You can’t even go forward due to obstacles and you can’t even return due to fear of failure or what other people will say about you.

To help you successfully handle all these emotions and assist you to explore the window of opportunities, a good success coach can be very useful.

You may ask, why coaching is essential for today's new breed of entrepreneurs? Well, here are the 6 major benefits of coaching for budding entrepreneurs.

1)    Managing your Self-Motivation: Whenever I work with someone, I strive to dig out the WHY behind their actions. The stronger the WHY, bigger the self-motivation.

If you have stronger reasons to proceed, you will be tough in handling obstacles. Col. Saunders (Founder of KFC) was financially poor when he started and his desire to succeed financially became his motive to succeed in his field.

Imagine your entrepreneurial journey as a rocket. You need fire at the base to propel you forward.

2)    Strategic Guidance: Whenever you’ll start your entrepreneurial journey you may not be aware of all the Key success factors in building the products, marketing, selling, negotiating your deals, finding the investors, recruiting high performance teams, handling economic fluctuations etc. With the help of right coach you will succeed in your new venture and minimise your losses.

3)    Managing Change: While working on your business dream, you might be working on your full time job to back up your economic side. You might be sleeping less, ignoring your health and spending less time with your family. With the help of a coach, you can identify the potential roadblocks and come up with the contingency plan to deal with them. It will help you succeed in keeping work-life balance so that you cannot give up on your business dream.

4)    Managing your Failures: The biggest mistake I see, budding entrepreneurs are making, is to expect smooth ride. How much I wish, to happen it for you, but in real world life will throw at you many challenges which you may not even dreamed of.

After my MBA, when I started working, I got laid off. It was a recession time in the UK. I couldn’t even get a new job. However my desire to finish stronger was so intense that I fought back the obstacles. Took a job as door keeper at an Arts centre where my job was to see the ticket and let the audience in. It was hard time but that taught me many life sessions which otherwise I couldn’t have learnt elsewhere. You must be able to manage your failures and finish stronger.

5)    Managing your Efficiency: With the help of right coach you can identify real value adding activities and separate them from non-value adding activities. You can do more things which matters more and spend less time on the things of less importance. You should be able to delegate, eliminate, and automate your activities.

6)    Managing your Money: You cannot ignore the importance of money management in business. It’s not a one off thing. You have to be laser focussed every year. Hundred year old companies such as Lehman Brothers have gone bankrupt by ignoring this.

Don’t let this happen to you. Learn to manage your cash flow. Learn to manage money.

Don’t Drive Your Ferrari on a Railway Track

My Dear Friend,

This is a true story. Last week, one of my good friends called me, to get some advise on making an important job switch decision. He had received an offer from a company and he was thinking whether to accept the offer or not. The new job was with a multinational consulting company. 

He wanted to leave the current job because his supervisor was not meeting his incentive etc commitments and my friend was getting the feeling that his skills were over utilized and under paid.

Have you ever had this sort of feeling? You are working so hard and your pay cheque doesn’t reflect that. It still stays reasonably same. No matter how hard you work.
I know many professionals, who had that feeling at some point of time in their career.

When I analysed the situation I realized an important insight:  

Don’t Drive Your Ferrari on Rail Track.

E.g.

If you think you have skills, qualifications and experience similar to power & elegance of Ferrari then make sure you are utilizing those on the right track / path / road or in other words right Employer. Ferrari is most suitable for highways (or Motorways as they call in UK) and rail tracks are for trains. Hence make sure you are utilizing your skills in right industry / on right track / for right employer etc. Otherwise you might end up exhausted as my friend. 

Action strategy of this month:

Think about your ultimate goal / position you want to reach in next 3-5 years. Make sure you think about both sides i.e. professional side as well as financial side. If you can connect the dots from your future goal to current position then its great. Other wise this is the RIGHT TIME to start looking for RIGHT TRACK for you. Remember Life is Short and Time is Limited hence Don’t waste your time trying to figure out why your Ferrari is not making progress on Rail Track, because simply – It won’t work that way.

Also,

Let me know your Success Story and I’ll share with others to inspire them.

Keep in touch.

Kill Your Fears!

What is Fear?
As we have learned : Fear is just a feeling.
Feeling of insecurity or pain or danger or anticipation of something which is not good for you.

Everyone in this world has some kind of fears.
Their intensity may vary but all human beings have some or other kind of fears.

How to deal with Fears?
As we have learned: The I.D.C.D. Process ( Copy right: Success Coach Nilesh ).

Let’s study them once again.

I = Identify
Identify your fears. Just write down on paper what fears you have.
Writing down on the paper will help you see your fear as if you are a 3^rd person watching what’s happening.

D= Define
This is the most crucial step.
Define clearly the root cause of your fears.
E.g. Many people say they have fear of public speaking however in reality what they are afraid of are:
– They will forget the content.
– What others will say when they speak
– Their knowledge won’t be sufficient
– Others will not like them

Here crucial point to remember is that you might generalize your fear to main category (in this case public speaking) without realizing that we are actually afraid of the root cause (as listed above for fear of public speaking).

C=Choose
Once you have identified the root cause the next task if to choose a contingency plan.
Choose some actions, ways to deal with the root cause.
If you allow some time your brain will tell you several ways to deal with the root cause.
Just choose the way which you feel more comfortable with.

D= Do
The last point is also very important because here we take our first step to overcome our fears.
Do the action item you have chosen for yourself.

Let me warn you:

1. Its very natural to feel the pressure when you are doing any task for the first time.
2. You may not succeed in the first attempt but you will definitely win the war inside you to deal with the fears. Let the result of first action be bad.

Keep doing the actions until your fear fades away. Improve your actions if needed.

I am sure you can now at least dare to deal with your fears rather than run away from it.
Don’t delay your success because of your fears just kill your fears!

Keep in touch.
