Jobs and CareersAre you doing what you are doing because you love to do it or are you working because of something else? In this article we will look at how you can create success by loving what you do.
From childhood, we learn that we have to work hard to achieve success. We also have learned that it takes lot of blood, sweat and tears to taste success. This is what our parents, elders, school and society teaches us, which gradually becomes our reality. As we start to work, most of us think and believe that to work hard is something that we must do, but in reality we should be working on something that we love or like or are interested in.
Life should challenging and fun, both while we work and while we do not work. Most people think and talk about pleasure when they are not working, but without work, the free time cannot carry the same value. If people are free for one year they cannot enjoy the time!
Highly successful people are the ones who do their work with lots of passion and excitement. If they are not enjoying and excited they cannot have the energy to move ahead every year. Life can only succeed with passion and when it disappears there is no more driving force left.
Think of the love and passion you had in the past or for someone in your life. It can be love a friend, or a child. It is so nice to meet them and have that lovely feeling. Just imagine if you possess the same love and passion for anything you are working with. What will be the result? You will smell this passion in the air and will attract more people who would like to associate with you. Now compare this with the person who only serves to get salary. You will soon realize who will be successful.
If there is love and passion, anything is possible. Think of Thomas Edison without his love and passion for electric bulb and definitely you will realize what I am trying to convey. This is what separates a performer a mediocre person. The passion for work. There cannot be success without passion! With goal-setting and passion even a minor team of baseball can succeed.
Now attitude is everything. That is what we have learned to believe. Think of children who love to be in the rain, till they hear their parents yelling at them. From that day onwards, the child relates rain with something negative. Is your rainy day full of negativity or is it successful? This depends on what you choose!
Ask following questions and get back your driving force:
* Do I have that I need for success?
* Do I possess love and passion for my life?
* Do I love my job or business?
* Do I work for creating success?
* How can I create love and passion for my job and my life?
Be sure to make the required changes in order to be successful. I have observed that people who create love and passion in what they do achieve the success that other people dream of. Good luck for love and passion in your work and in your life for success! God bless you.***

Fear is NOT a Growth Strategy
Businesses are not built on fear - they're built on optimism.
Moreover - the companies that succeed, that thrive, and that last over time are those run by people who can separate out the noise from the naysayers chatter and locate the opportunities that surface.
As Amy C. Crosper, Editor-in-Chief of Entrepreneur magazine puts it, "It's bad enough that Detroit is wheezing and Rome is burning and all hell has broken loose, but what's worse is that the situation is making normally rational people act like loonies."
You and I have been here before - fear makes us irrational. I've listened to business leaders declare that cutting is the strategy to follow, instead of growing. They are not equal choices in business. Never have been. Never will be.
And people who pour their time into rationalizing cutting are often missing their golden opportunity to Be the Game Changer.
In conversations with my consulting and coaching clients, when we talk about changing the game, I come at it from several directions.
For business owners, professionals, entrepreneurs who have a roster of employees they want to take care of, 'game changing' can include a fresh look at the company's core competencies in order to become laser focused at marketing them - creating a sharply defined identity in the existing marketplace.
One of my clients is a refinisher of manufacturing parts. In this economy they are deliberately going after every certification that is relevant in their industry. They're putting in the time and effort so that they can secure the long-term highly profitable contracts that ARE going to be signed by their customers. While this means taking on added systems and tracking and documentation demands of their entire workforce - the new stability they are creating is well worth it.
How can you do this in your own business? Birth new entrepreneurs.
What do I mean by that?
It's time to reward everyone in your business for thinking like an entrepreneur.
Assign everyone in the business the task of looking for opportunities - new ways of getting things done more efficiently inside, and scanning for how to leap ahead of the competition that's focused on shrinking instead of growing.
Come up with messages and actions that reward each person who steps up with a new idea - for leveraging themselves, for leveraging systems, for leveraging the company's expertise to go after new customers and to offer new services to your faithful clients.
I want you to think about this on both the 'business' level, and the 'individual' level. It's just as relevant and just as important in each of those arenas separately AND when taken together.
Let me explain what I mean. My client Annette is a perfect example.
Annette has spent the last two years focused on accelerating the growth of a technology start-up in San Diego. And she and the company President have concluded that the initiative just won't work. Not enough barriers to entry, and too broad a range of prospective customers. No way to tighten the niche without burning through too much cash, while the business opportunity gets fractured among all the small players dashing into the fray.
So, what does that mean for Annette?
Well, as she and other people I work with know - from my perspective it just means time to hit 'reset.'
That's all.
And that's everything.
It doesn't mean doom, gloom and despair. It does mean it's time to brush off the distracting messages about lay-offs and economic collapse to look at how to take all her know how, all her expertise, and her entire proven track record and CREATE a whole new category: Annette Friskopp.
The last time we did this, web 2.0 was in its infancy. ALL the techniques we used were off-line positioning. Now it's an integral component of how we'll be repositioning her so that:
1. Her voice and expertise become known to a wider audience
2. Her credentials are demonstrated to her ideal, targeted pool of prospective clients
3. Her expertise can be leveraged to create new streams of income for her
We'll be laying the specific strategies for leveraging her long-term business connections, her specific success as a business growth and turnaround expert, and incorporating the new avenues created by technology to give HER the choices about who to work with next.
And everyone associating with her will be learning from her as she takes each step.
Fearless. Forward.
Focused on opportunities.***
