It is hard to free yourself if you
love or do not recognize the chains that limit your
potential to live a life of abundance. However,
only when you break those chains or question your
assumptions, can you enjoy all the richness of life. |
Your journey to a life of enrichment begins the moment
you ask yourself, “Is this the best I can do with my
life? Am I appreciating the blessing of talents, gifts
and even material blessings that God has bestowed on
me?”
If your answer to either or both of these questions is
no, then that’s good news. You are aware you can
do better.
My chain was simple. I accepted it, owned and proudly
carried it. It was innocently placed on me with one
short sentence: “Brother, don’t worry. You can only
wear one pair of shoes at a time.” That was it. Over
twenty years later it occurred to me that if you have
more than one pair, you can choose which pair to wear.
And if you have several pairs, they last longer. You
can also give some of your shoes to those who have
none.
I had just graduated from college when I visited the
home of one of the leaders in the department where I
was to begin my career. I immediately noticed many
pairs of shoes lining two walls of his guest room.
When I shared with another colleague my shock that
someone could possibly own so many pairs of shoes, the
short comment he made became the chain (living a life
of scarcity) I carried for years. He said even if I
owned those shoes I could only wear one pair at a
time.
The truth of his comment is unquestionable. My
childhood experience was the fertile ground that let
that seed of one pair of shoes germinate and control
my behavior for years. |

My father believed if we had shoes and long trousers before being
admitted to high school, our education would suffer. We would be
distracted and have nothing to live up to. In our high school years,
he bought us one pair of Safari boots for each year. Those boots
were our all-purpose, all-season shoes.
So when my colleague said I could only wear one pair at time, it was
a truth that made sense to me only because my mind was stuck in a
past I didn’t care for and never wanted to relive.
For years I resisted the ownership of several pairs of shoes using a
casually stated comment for my justification.
What is your justification for not wanting the best in life for
yourself and your loved ones? Is there something wrong with living a
comfortable (even though comfort means different things to different
people) life? What is bad about enjoying the fruits of your
creativity, hard work and endurance?
You must cast aside the chains that tie you to living a life of
scarcity when you could be enjoying your blessings. There is nothing
unspiritual about enjoying the blessings God has blessed us with. |

The main reason you want to give speeches is to bring change to
the world. To succeed as a speaker/trainer, your
speeches/presentations must change your audiences’ behavior. If
you do that you will be called back and other people and groups
will hear about you.
|
|
1.
|
Your perspectives about life must be of
abundance, not scarcity. Scarcity mentality is the
crucible for low self esteem, negative thoughts and envy
of other people’s progress. |
|
2.
|
You know scarcity thinking is limiting your growth when
other people’s success irritates you. |
|
3.
|
When you think you don’t have, always remember there are
those with less than you. |
|
4.
|
An
abundant outlook on life is the bedrock for dreams,
gratitude, and a passion for success. |
|
5.
|
Abundance comes from a deep conviction of who you
are—God’s child with great ingredients that just require
vision and action to become marvelous work. |
|
6.
|
Kick those who belittle your efforts or initiate negative
thoughts
from your life. |
|
7. |
You accept the obligation of what you do. You do it
because it’s important. |
|
8.
|
Your real customer is the meeting planner.
Make him/her
the hero of the event and you will be called back. |
|
9.
|
There is no substitute for preparation.
Read books and
watch tapes that inspire people action. Pay attention to
audience reactions. Learn the theme of the program,
objectives, culture of the group, challenges, why you were
picked and what past successful speakers did. |
|
10.
|
To
change the way your audience sees the world and act
motivate them to on the ideas you share, have an easy to
remember line that touches their hearts and calls them to
action. |
|
11. |
Provoke your audience with the first sentence out of your
mouth |

Employees without motivation present one of the major problems
leaders are experiencing today. A leader’s ultimate goal is to
match his/her organization’s vision with the personal
strengths and expectations.
St. Francis of Assisi said, “Preach the gospel. Use words only
if necessary.” This advice is supported by modern studies that
have consistently shown that about 90% of how people learn is
visual. Effective leaders model desired behaviors and provide
a workplace environment that creates opportunities for a
shared vision to be developed and executed.
Exceptional leaders are consciously aware of defining moments.
These are the times a leader makes decisions that better the
way clients are served. He/she provides the necessary
inspiration for others to act and overcome real and/or
perceived challenges using available talents and resources.
Egyptians taught the importance of a caring leader, the one
whose heart is tender enough to teach, encourage, forgive and
expect the best from others. Their regard for such leaders is
shown by what they did when mummifying their pharaohs. They
removed the brains but kept the heart intact. A leader with a
heart attracts loyalty, inspires increased productivity,
focuses on what matters and encourages professional growth
without leaving life behind.

Great leaders don’t use the tired platitude, “Our employees are
the most important asset of this organization.” They want
employees who add value to the organization with new ideas,
great customer service, reduction of expenses or the combination
of these attributes. But there are fundamental questions you
must ask as a leader to create the productive business you
envision. Here are a few questions.
|
|
 |
Are
your employees focused on the past or are they helping create a
 profitable
future? |
|
Do
your employees think and act as owners of the organization? |
|
Is
each employee 100% committed to your organization’s success? |
|
Is
creativity in using available resources the driving force of each
employee? |
Do
employees love coming to work or are they more excited when leaving
at
5 p.m. or on Friday? |
|
Do
employees have challenges that keep them motivated? |
|
Does
all employees understand their personal impact on the customer’s
experience
with your organization? |
|
Does
each employee know he/she can be the beginning point of a positive
attitude
in your organization? |
Does
each employee know the three must do activities to add value to
your
organization? |
|
