Book Review: Talent is Never Enough by @JohnCMaxwell

John Maxwell explains that talented people have to work as hard, or even harder, than anyone else to make use of their talents. Talent is not a free pass; it takes choices in order for your telent to be maximized. Every person on this earth has talents to some extent. Some find their talents at a young age and some never find them. John Maxwell says, whether you’re a highly talented person or not, you’ll make or break yourself through the choices you make. There are 13 choices you must make to become a “talent-plus person”:

1. Belief Lifts Your Talent.
2. Passion energizes your talent.
3. Initiative Activates your talent.
4. Focus directs your talent.
5. Preparation positions your talent.
6. Practice sharpens your talent.
7. Perseverance sustains your talent.
8. Courage tests your talent.
9. Teach-ability expands your talent.
10. Character protects your talent.
11. Relationships influence your talent.
12. Responsibility strengthens your talent.
13. Teamwork multiplies your talent.

John Maxwell goes through deep detail for each choice and how to you can apply it to your own life. I’d suggest your listen to the audio CD or read the book, it’s more than worth your time.

4 Things I've Learned From Buddy(My Dog)!

.!.

1. Cuteness has a lot of pull!!

Well it works in his case but I suppose “appearance” is more important in the human world :D Buddy gets a treat and everything else he wants, just for acting cute. He walks over to the closet to where his treats are and rolls over and makes a bunch of noise. If we don’t notice him right to give a way, he resorts to breaking in with brute force, that’s number 3.

2. Passion plays a big role.

Being passionate about food and watch dogging Buddy doesn’t need to take days off. He loves what  he does and does it when ever he can. Eat, that is and barking at cats and other animals he sees outside. Buddy says: “What gets me up in the middle of the night? What keeps me going during the day? Two things. Tress passers, and of course FOOD!!!”.

3. Anything is possible when you really want it. Happy Feet ipod

How does Buddy get up on the table when all the chairs are pulled in? Because he wants to get the f’n meat roll. Why the hell else? Buddy has shown us that animals can do extremely intelligent things, when there’s a reward. No amount of lecturing will do it. “Now Buddy, if you don’t pass the Atomic Physics class you’ll start sleeping outside” *snooorree*

4. Sleeping is important to your health

Buddy knows that conserving strength is extremely important in successfully accomplishing his daily tasks. In fact Buddy spends a lot of time sleeping and waiting for the next meal the humans are having so he’ll look and feel 100% when the chicken is being handed out.:P (he has to look his best, see number 1 )

13 Effective ways to Manage YOUR Time and Increase Productivity!

These are MY 13 personal tips on how to successfully manage time and boost productivity. Follow these tips and in a month from now you’ll see a difference in the way you go about your work. My experience with these tips have been more than successful in how I view my work and how I handle tough assignments. These are methods I’ve picked up from reading great books, blogs and listening to outstanding people.

The Caretaker move

#1 Partial Involvement in many things < Full involvement in a few things.

Taking on a ton of different projects may keep you busy. Focusing your energy on a few things is much more effective than spreading your energy across a ton of things.

American Psycho dvd #2 It’s not perfect and it never will be

I wasted a lot of time, yet learned a great lesson, by trying to perfect things that didn’t need to be perfected. Nothing is ever perfect and that’s what makes life interesting.

#3 You handle as well as you plan

I found out that writing out a quick plan helps your progress. It also great motivation and it helps clear your mind.

#4 Minimize to maximize

That is, minimize the amount of stuff you do to maximize your productivity. The similar things are the easier it is to focus and get stuff done!

#5 Procrastination harms productivity

It wasts time and it throws your brain out of whack!

#6 Desire to GET STUFF DONE!

In a nutshell, start with the end in mind. Set a goal, think of how free you’ll feel after finishing your work.

#8 Try to be outstanding!

Be an achiever, think like an achiever and eventually your attitude will guide your work.

#9 Eliminate Worry

Worry causes mind fog, depression and hinders your work. Find out how to eliminate that worry and then ACT.

#10 Think in steps

Everything is more satisfying when done is steps.

Nature Morte
A plan of action is more effective than a routine list of daily activities.

#12 Believe YOU can

Remember that there where people in tougher times who have achieved more. Think of the dirty 30’s. Think of the people in poor countries who don’t get chances like these. You have the advanced so make the best of it. Something I head a little while ago that I thought was quite profound, “If we did what we are actually able of doing, we’d be greatly surprised.”
Your mind is the only thing that prevents you from accomplishing what you want. Change your mind.

#13 Last but not least. Stay organized

You are a product of your environment. Work in a messy unorganized environment and that’s how you’ll work. Be organized and eliminate clutter.

All the best!

~Passion Combined With Work!

Merlin and the War of the Dragons dvd

Fast Times at Ridgemont High movies “Do what you love and what you’re passionate about and you’ll be successful.”

Basic Fact: buy What Love Is

People are less productive when they believe their work isn’t important.

Inspired people believe in their work. They know that what they’re doing can change lives. These people know that they’re accomplishing something day by day. Proximity film

December Boys rip

I’m a firm believer in combining your passions with your career. It really is a part of the formula to success. Whether it’s owning a franchise, becoming a public speaker, a business owner or coming up a with a cure for a disease. Do what you love, what you’re passionate about and you’ll be successful.

The difference isn’t brains, ethnic background, appearance or luck. People who are passionate about what they do will always be a step closer to reaching their full potential. Passionate people go further. Why? Because they believe in what their doing. These people are enabled, these people are the future.

Being self employed I don’t make a whole lot of money, but I love what I do! The fact that I don’t make a lot of money doesn’t bother me. I know that, since I love what I do, I have a bright future and there’s no limit to how far I can go.

It’s the same for everyone.
Do what you do best.
Make a career out of your passion.
Make the most out of your life. Don’t settle for second best! Reach far out. Think BIG!

The future depends on people with a vision, with the ability to make changes. Without vision we have little or no control. Without that passion we become numb.
