The Walking Dead..... Are you serious this constitutes great programming nowadays. I am glad I gave up on watching the majority of tv long ago. I prefer to be living my life, I am awake. Don't get me wrong I enjoy an entertaining show every now and then, Psych or The Simpsons. But to just grow older everyday and think that your life is your job, or your car or something else of little value is just a shame.
This is your wake up call, to brush yourself off and climb out of the hole you have been living in. Instead of caring about what other people do or don't do, strike out today and do something different. It is uncomfortable but it is what is necessary if you want anything different in your life. Or you can listen to some negative person who hates their job and has no success tell you how you can't be successful. That makes sense. For the sake of your life you need to do this. Start today to make your life different for tomorrow.
You owe it to yourself .

ATtitude
I know that attitude seems like a word that is over used. So many people speak about it being 'the difference maker' and its used in so many motivational posters I think it has lost its luster. Sometimes you need to step back and take a look at things from the outside to appreciate them. This I feel is the same with some great words that can teach and guide you through life. Do not let them get stagnant let them sink in keep them fresh.
Attitude is all about perspective. You control it the second you get out of bed in the morning till the second you fall asleep at night. Every choice you make starts you on a path toward an outcome. Whether that outcome will be positive or negative is totally up to you. But attitude is one of those wonderful things that you can correct on the spot and turn around 180 degrees if you are heading in the wrong direction. Thank God for that.
So make conscious decisions and always adjust your course to maintain positive mindset, and let that make your life easier, rather than hating everything and making your life miserable.

The Little Things
As pertaining to selling, the little things may overtake everything. Every salesperson is trying to please their customer. In my experience it pays to remember. Literally. You can deliver everything you promise, provide excellent transition, and information about your product or service and it won't matter. In the mind of your customer you are only doing your job. There is nothing considerably special about how you treated your guest of honor, the person giving you money. The only thing the customer may remember from the buying experience with you is that you were knowledgeable, polite and efficient. Not how I want to be remembered.
Try This. Go all out with your customer, seriously, he is putting your kids through college after all, deliver an experience to your customer that they will be raving about, and never forget. It works better if that is a positive experience not negative. If its negative you'll be out of business soon. Nordstroms once accepted a customers return of four tires even though they never sold tires. It pays to go above and beyond. Remember first names, if they have kids, what hobbies they enjoy. Then go out of your way to make some one feel special. Send them a thank you card.
You may be surprised at how many salespeople DON'T think of any of this. It can be downright scary, and we wonder why salesmen get a bad rap, its usually a stereotype brought on by selfish motives and unethical people. Case in point, what is the first thing you think of when you hear me say; Used Car Salesman? Watch your wallet right, well maybe, its a tough job, commission only but those who have integrity will find ways to make their monthly sales numbers without crucifying their ethics. I am good friends with a few used car salesmen, their great people who have been doing it for many years, they are honest and ethical. They treat their customers in a way that the customer wants to be treated. They remember that and come back.
That's how you do it. Deliver that WOW experience.
You won't regret it.

REALITY CHECK: Why your employees are miserable. (Part 2)
The second part of my Blog shows how a outdated pay structure does very little to motivate your employees. Think about it, you created the business, it is your burning desire. It would be safe to say that most of your workers do not feel the same passion about working their jobs. It's ok, if it is not their passion. That is where you have to get creative in your pay structure. They are there to make you money, but for 95% of them they are there to make themselves money. Support their families.
I do not appreciate hourly pay scales simply because they were created over a hundred and thirty years ago. When workers had very little, if any, say in their salaries. I think it should be a bit different in today's society. Any good leader knows how to ultimately motivate an employee, you show them a difference in their pay. That increases productivity. Replaces the hourly scale with either salary plus commissions, or salary based on production would help in most jobs today.
Lets take a simple example, a cashier, she works 40 hours a week and is paid eight bucks an hour. She is going to go to work everyday, waste her forty hours for the same pay that she would make whether she works hard or slacks off, where is the motivation. People are usually lazy so we must always be properly motivating them otherwise they fall into ruts of uselessness. Now if you pay that same cashier the same 16,640 dollars she is making already every year, but throw in the option of bonuses for customer compliments, and every new credit card they get opened. Then you inspire your worker to push to make an impact on the customers every single day. Because that motivation is there every hour of her shift.
Make it easier to please your employees and keep them motivated, happy and wealthy. The more extras you offer them to be able to achieve the more they will increase their production.
It is simple supply and demand.

Time to get it done....
In this day and age there are so many people and businesses that deal in shady practices. I feel that the only way to avoid these terrible businesses and people are to start your own business and run it the right way. Can't people just be honest, why do companies openly lie to people on their website, on the phone and through their email. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I knew I was making money in an unethical manner. These people make me sick, anything for a dollar, tarnishing those of us who actually want to run a business the moral and ethical way, and make money through offering excellent products and services. These tactics are extremely disappointing although I have to say that discovering these companies has motivated me to drive harder towards my goal, slay my current 'job' in which I don't even make enough to feed my family and pay my bills, and kick my R & D into high gear to start my other businesses right now so I can be free of these horrible people and actually help people and their businesses, and their employees.
If you want honest business advice and a moral, ethical person working with you to customize goals for your business, then I am the man for you. You need to look me up at Zugger United Inc. because I am a real person who wants to help with business analysis and employee management. I want to help you, and I'll do it for free at first just to show you what I can do. Then after I show you my skill will I then ask for you business.

I'm back ..... Watch out!
First I would like to thank all of my readers for their patience. Then I would like to share something with you all. I was taking a media fast for the last seven days, no computer, no smart phone, no newspaper, etc. As I learned from a great writer and leader, this is necessary from time to time. It helps clear your mind, refreshes your thinking and encourages you to be more positive. There is no time to waste on negative news broadcasts and false reporting. Set your sights on loftier goals. Try to accomplish something great today, and then repeat that process tomorrow and the next day. The more outrageous your goals the easier they are to achieve.
I was able to meditate for a while on being an inspiration to others and providing excellent service and value to them and the community. Help motivate yourself and others, be that good example, that positive friend. Help lead others and you will find it one of the most rewarding things you could ever do. Sure you want to improve you own life, and you can do that by improving others lives first, through that process you will be enriched, and inspired.
Good luck and never give up.

Help is on the way
When you work a 'regular' job, you do the work assigned to you and collect your pay. Simple as that, there is no motivation to do anymore, there is no commission for selling, there is no weekly performance bonus. This is why it is so important to have more than one way of making money. You should concentrate on making money and comparing it to a four legged chair. Every one's four legged chair should be different, being that your strengths and weaknesses are different.
As for me, I reach out through my blog to offer leadership advice (1) that's a leg. I am a product developer which is (2) second leg. I also run Zugger United Inc. , an independent consulting firm specializing in management and leadership improvement. Then of course I have my regular job (4). The regular job will one day go away, and I have plans to replace it with public speaking and book writing.
What I am trying to say today is, dream a dream. See it through, and don't stop trying to achieve your success. A hint is, right when you feel like giving up is the moment that the blessing happens. So push yourself and expect the best.

Hey You, Believe in yourself
After yesterdays post about being a positive role model and leading the way for others that will help everyone improve. I decided to talk about an even more important leadership principle.
" To successfully lead others, you must master yourself."
Becoming a great leader is something that you must earn from others in the way of respect. To lead yourself is a whole other ball of yarn. I actually think it is easier to lead others than to lead yourself. This is why you must learn to master your own life. Negative thought patterns, depression, laziness, feelings and emotions, and the biggest one, lack of self - confidence.
If you could ask some of the greatest leaders how they became they way they are, I would bet the majority of them would say that they achieved success by being consistent, working extremely hard, having a vision coupled with a positive attitude, and they had an enormous amount of self confidence. They would probably also say they are just normal people doing extraordinary things, and that they are no different than any other person.
So try to think as these great men and women, be respectful, have self confidence, think positively, and keep working hard. Teach yourself to be a leader and those whom you work with will automatically want to be lead by you. Then you will truly be ready to lead.
"Leaders do not choose their followers, followers choose their leader"

My Personal Story - From the Author
First, I would like to thank all of you who have been interested in my blog and what I am planning to do with it. My desire is to see this out reach help as many aspiring business leaders prevail when they come across difficult times or the sting of failure. I feel that I am obligated to tell you a bit of my background. So here it goes.
In the summer of 1982 I was born in a old hospital in a rust belt city. My childhood was average, although we did live in a great neighborhood and we had great parents. When I was 11 I started my first job, a paperboy. It was through this I learned the beginning stages of leadership, responsibility, customer service and satisfaction, bill collection and of course, payday. I was a very good paper carrier and even doubled the size of my route in 3 years time. It inspired me to always work for myself and the doors that can open when you live that kind of life.
Since the days of my paper route, I have never really settled into an 'ordinary' job despite being pressured to go to school and 'do something with my life'. The only job I worked well was being self employed as a window and door installer for seven years. I hated that job but it had the most freedom of any that I have previously had. I am currently working for a Fortune 50 company as a Sales Specialist but do believe that I will follow my passion into business management and product creation.
I realized when I was 20 that the only job I would absolutely love would be a business oriented position in which I controlled the management and was able to creatively use my imagination to produce and create products. I am now at that stage of my life as a 29 year old. I could run my own business and I have products that I have created. All with a year and a half of 'college'.
So with this website and the others that I will soon have up you will understand why I am a true capitalist. I value creation of values, services and products to enhance society and everyday life. I want to motivate you to do the same. There are no excuses, you CAN'T be too old, too young, too poor, too busy, not smart enough, healthy enough. The tools are there to achieve you just must believe that it will take a little time, have faith, and never stop looking toward your vision. That passion in which you have.

Power to Create
We have the innate ability to create or destroy. The responsibility has been given to us by God and we hold that power it is up to us to use it correctly.
We can destroy. Have negative attitudes, tear people and their ideas down, encourage violence and poverty. No one benefits from this stance. It is a cyclical pattern that spirals downward. Eventually society collapses. It is unsustainable. Regulating jobs away, limiting citizens power to create diminishes individual thought and personal creativity. But there is hope.
We can create. Live our lives to be open about things, carry a positive metal attitude, building up others and encouraging them to turn their ideas into concrete actions. The pattern is linear and it builds upward. One group of individual thinkers implementing their imagination to benefit our culture, inspiring the next. For example, some believe that Edison was inspired by the great imagination of DaVinci, with his ability to design things that where hundreds of years before their time.
Inspire to create, build jobs and society, use you imagination and cultivate your ideas into concrete actions. Do not be discouraged, do not quit. Take an idea, any idea and pursue it till it exists in reality, worlds are turned on such ideas. Look at Apple and their vision, or Ford and theirs. Both great companies told they couldn't do things, and they set out to do them anyway. And they accomplished them.
Go out there today and create, inspire others to do the same and in your own way the world will be a better place.

Make today Remarkable
They say your attitude in the first five minutes of your day will determine how you view the rest of it, I believe this. I concentrate on what I plan to accomplish with the time I have been given. I move toward my goals, I strive to take action on a daily basis telling myself, " If this is the last time I ever do....(whatever I'm doing) will I be happy with how I did it". This helps me push myself to reach mush better skills in a shorter period of time. I know one thing for certain, we are not guaranteed another day so make this one count for what it is worth, it is priceless.
So, get out of bed, when you put on your clothes, put on a smile to despite your troubles, it will help you make the right decisions today. Do not let others drag you into their negative attitudes and miserable actions, try to inspire them to be motivated, to be passionate about something. Help lead, teach and be the example you want to see in the world. You can be your own miracle.
Make your life a life that others can be happy to know and be around. Be an inspiration, and live each day as if it was your last.

Serve others....and you may serve yourself
Its better to give than to receive.
We have all heard of this phrase, yet as we grow up it becomes more words of wisdom that lose their meaning as time goes by. Those that are extremely successful know it to be the true principle that got them to where they are today, and the same they implement to propel others to succeed in life. Serve others. Is a phrase that I have hear alot of lately. I have just finished reading Sharon Lechter and Greg Reid's book. Think and Grow Rich: Three Feet From Gold, and the truth and organizational skills that the book contained where priceless. Also, I realized that nothing happens by just hoping something will happen. You must make it happen.
So on that note I will keep it short today by saying:
" Put someone else's needs above your own, serve them, and in return watch the rewards come back to you in greater numbers"

Failure + Failure + Failure = Success
Think of the title of this post. Simple math formula that holds very deep insight. If you grasp this concept your ability to overcome challenges and taste sweet victory should be simple. Not to say that it won't be difficult, but you will better understand the obstacles ahead when you know what to expect.
If 95% of all people desire to be successful and only 5 or 10% actually become successful then where is the disconnect. What happened to those other 85% who have dreams, goals, and aspirations? When did they lose their focus? I bet the moment they lost their focus was in a low point in their life, or when a friend or companion told them they should quit and never try again, or that their idea was stupid and wouldn't amount to anything. Yep, obstacles. Those words that others say to bring you down, don't listen to those people, they aren't your friends. Do not be blinded by the failures or obstacles, these things are not too difficult to overcome. As for those in your life telling you to quit, when was the last time a successful person listened to the advice of someone who was unsuccessful. Why would you listen to someone whose life and abilities haven't amounted to anything? DO NOT LISTEN TO NEGATIVE PEOPLE.
Surround yourself with positive people, work with those who inspire you to achieve more in your life. Try to connect with others who have accomplished great things, so that you may learn their traits and strive to become a person like they are. Almost any person in the history of this planet that has been an overwhelming success has been so because they had (1) a precise vision or idea that could not be shaken. They (2) did not listen to the naysayers and only sought counsel from those who have achieved great things as well. Most important (3) they got back up when they failed. They continued to believe in their vision even when they reached a roadblock.
So to stay motivated surround yourself with those who positively can influence you, if you do not know anyone, reach out to those through the Internet. You will be surprised at how many successful people want to help you reach your potential. Also, do not be afraid to hear the answer 'no' the more chances you hear 'no' the more opportunities you will have to hear yes.
For example, there are two associates I currently work with that are entrusted to retrieve quality sales leads for a program we have at work. The one associate asks every person he meets about our program and gets turned down 24 times. The other gets turned down 3 times. When I ask how many leads they retrieved the first associate had 3, the other had zero. He was afraid of rejection, once you get over that fear you can succeed until then you are a slave to mediocrity.
Fail forward, learn from your mistakes and never give up. You know you can reach the top, now go do it.

How to REALLY give back.
If you are a skilled business man or woman, with considerable talent and knowledge, then there may be only one true way to heighten your position, and that would be helping someone else aspire to be greater than they are. A real leader recognizes talents and character traits of a achiever even when they may not be so apparent . I believe its called finding talent in unusual places, despite upbringing, education, and all that other nonsense. A true leader knows there is no separation from someone with a masters degree and someone with a high school diploma except for the amount of money they spent on education. True leaders would probably rather deal with the latter because they are more humble to learn different principles, and more willing to be taught than a fellow who has captured a masters degree. Now don't get me wrong college serves its purposes but what I'm getting at is that a true leader looks past degrees and diplomas and focuses on the personality and character of the person they are interested in mentoring.
So give back to this world, if you have influence ( which just about everyone does) use it to inspire a co-worker or mentor a stranger who could use the inspiration to reach the pinnacle of their lives. Share your knowledge and it will fill you with greater passion and desire to help more. Show people you care. Your wealth of knowledge could be shared with someone else to become their physical wealth, that they can share as their wealth of knowledge and then we can all mae a difference.

Creators vs. Destroyers
Everyday we see them, someone who goes out of their way to help a complete stranger , helping someone without expecting anything in return. These positive difference makers often inspire us to be more open and less selfish about our feelings and actions. They tend to be the difference makers. The tend to be Creators.
Conversely, we may witness someone who degrades a store associate for not being fast enough, or knowing the correct answer. Possibly, watching a person knowingly go out of their way to cause or inflict some type of pain to another person who they probably do not even know. These unfortunate people are usually always negative and have terrible attitudes. They only try to tear down creative thinkers. They are the destroyers.
Now let me help you be inspired to move on and make something to benefit society. Everyone has the tools within themselves to create something of value for their home, town, country or even their whole world. The problem is for every one person who stands behind you and says your idea is awesome their are probably ten others telling you their is no use to try. You know who I'm talking about that family member who has never made anything out of their life so they tell you your wasting your time on a stupid idea, and without proper support and motivation, some of that negative thinking can affect your productivity, it could affect your awesome idea. The goal is to find a support system of friends and family that share your creative ideas and help motivate you to continue on, and show positive influence in the face of adversity. The last thing you want is an unsuccessful person trying to tell you to stay unsuccessful. Where is the logic in that.
Let the dead be dead. If they want to destroy themselves and each other so be it. I have been placed on this earth to help inspire others and I don't care how much they try to destroy the world I will be working just as hard to create value to make this world a better place. To create a job for someone who has been looking for a job. To create for the better of this place.
You must tell yourself you will succeed no matter how long it takes you to get there do not give up. Stay motivated and stay connected.
