...how long will you put off what you’re capable of doing just to maintain what you’re currently doing? The mindset that enabled him to develop the attributes so fundamental to success in any walk of life, was incubated in an environment of seemingly innocuous music lessons. The environment that builds and develops anyone’s mindset, as it has for others, could be sports, literature, sales, teaching, studying, trades, or profession...anywhere. The letter that Changed Kory Livingstone’s Life and nudged him to write his book “Dear Kory I have admired your persistent quiet determination and attention to details. It is more than talent; it's a mature determination. I could do well to apply the same to my life. May God bless all of your efforts?" Neil S. Neil was the manager of the venue where I was giving the concert. Apparently I had caught his attention as I worked away at my chores that afternoon. He was so impressed he was moved, a week later he sent me that succinct & profound note. It was scratched it out on a little yellow 3x3 post-it note. Neil was obviously impressed by Kory the person, as opposed to Kory the musician. It’s the fear of failure. Fear is what causes many of our dreams to fail. Mistakenly most people think that if they take a “risk”, try something new, or do something differently, people will think less of them if it doesn’t work. People are scared to death of that time worn phrase. !” On the positive side, a failure is only another opportunity to learn, to improve on what you know, and to take another step toward success There’s an old quote that says,“ Behind every successful man is a woman”. What people don’t realize is that the woman behind the man is actually a “talent whisperer”. A talent whisperer is someone who is in your corner encouraging you, supporting your dreams and aspirations regardless of what others may say. Another word for talent whisperer is “coach”. In Kory‘s book his story is about how he was trained to be accountable. The little things our parents do to make us accountable in this case Kory’s mom each day would help him be accountable by keeping him on task with his music lessons. This was the actual beginning of his over al task to become successful. Everyone has a dream of some sort, somewhere in the back of their mind. The number 1 reason dreams remain unfulfilled is fear. Fear of failure. This fear is masked by a million different excuses, all of them masquerading as reasons. Success is built one brick at a time. These bricks have many names. Some use the name attitude or mindset, others will say bearing, temperament or behaviour. Kory calls his bricks “quiet determination.”
We often don’t recognize that we’ve been SNIOPed, and attribute our apparent lack of success to a list of imagined excuses, short comings The worst negative influence may be your own overly self-critical, self-talk, that’s holding your back from pursuing your own dreams.

The Business Mechanic Tuning Up Small Businesses for Higher Performance Many small business owners know that something is wrong with their business, but they don’t know what! Vaughn Sigmon is the coach that gets to the root of the problem and then creates a solution so that the business runs better…and more profitably too. As Regional Vice President at the largest used auto store chain in the US, he realized that the way sales people were being trained for highly effective customer engagements, was very inadequate. Vaughn went to work and developed a sales process and training program that became a true game changer. Within 18 months of creating and implementing his new program at CarMax, closing rates zoomed up more than 50%. And, even more impressively, Vaughn’s training system was adopted company-wide boosting company revenues to over $13 billion in sales! The People and Your Pit Crew Are the Answer At Kohl’s as a District Manager in charge of opening Nashville-area stores, Vaughn again recognized that investing in people and processes were the octane for success. His mentoring and coaching led to the most effective store openings in the company’s history. He expects to help his clients have turbo charges results. Your employees are so important to making your company a higher performance company. Vaughn suggests if you take care of your employees properly ,they will ultimately take care of your customers so let's just put it this way happy employees makes a happy customer which create a healthy profitable business A key to a tuning up your business into a high-performance business is working on your business and of course not working in your business and as we all know this is not the easiest thing to accomplish. Some of the things that make it easier is to actually make an appointment with yourself to put it on the calendar and work at your calendar like it's an important event and do not cancel that event because that appointment is worth more to you than any 10 or 15 or $20 an hour job you may feel that you have to pick up the slack on. Want to make that yourself can be diligent on keeping yourself and work on your business so it may start off with just two or three hours a week and then multiplying that or adding to it but you'll find it you'll really see things in a different light. Actually sit down and take a look at what your hourly worth is to the company and now double that or triple that. When you stray from working on your business to do hourly work you are actually giving up future profits. Next how about what makes you special and different, what's that sets you apart from your competition What draws those customers to you and get s them to refer you. . What is it that do you do that makes you memorable so that they continue to do business and don’t forget who you are We all have competitors think about ways to stand out?
