So you are standing by the water cooler with the rest of the staff, chatting. Then someone points to a new notice on the staff cork board. All of you rush to the notice and groan in unison: yes, another change will be made in your department. You wonder whether your job is on the line, hoping against hope that it is not. Your organization is going through an organizational change.

When does an organization experience change? The leaders of the organization might initiate change when they try to amend how the organization operates. It also occurs when the organization adds to or takes away a key segment or process from the system. Change also happens when the organization switches to a new plan to achieve success.

After watching careers for almost forty years, I’ve got a clear idea of what you should do to build yours. Here’s some advice if you’re starting out.

1. Seek and use feedback. Feedback will turbocharge your career and put you on the path to continuous improvement.

2. Get help. You can’t know it all yourself. Get help from mentors, friends, peers, books, classes and role models.

3. Seek out challenges. That’s how you grow.

YOUR AMYGDALA operates automatically like a default button on your computer. With repetition a groove is formed and your response becomes a habitual way of responding to similar situations.

A “HOT” reactive Amygdala puts you on hyper alert and floods your body with a build-up of stress hormones, causing you to be hypersensitive and over reactive. You feel perpetually under attack.

Your mental states continually shift from moment to moment. You develop strategies and emotional habits for dealing with life events. Warning lights flash on and off in your neural networks connecting the dots internally to guide you automatically to a preset response.

I know an entrepreneur when I meet one. They have certain inherent traits that give them away. They would sooner die than work for someone else. They are fiercely independent and crave freedom. They are usually disorganized but are wonderfully creative. I understand the entrepreneur. I grew up in the home of a serial entrepreneur and I became one myself. Then, it’s no wonder that I love coaching the entrepreneur.

I. Questions to ask

As business owners or managers we must be asking ourselves:

“How well are we improving things within our own responsibilities?” “Are we communicating, co-ordinating, motivating, delegating better today than we were yesterday?” “How are we going to improve it tomorrow?”

The whole concept of continuous improvement is not about us or them, we are in it together and we must lead the way or it will not happen.

II. Future Businesses

In the last few weeks a surge of activity has run through my business, and my calendar has become conspicuously absent of white space. This is a good thing and not a coincidence but a matter of law - the law of reciprocity. You can learn how to practice this law too.

There are lots of common expressions used to express this law. Here are some:

• You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours.

• Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

• You reap what you sow.

• Judge not lest ye be judged.

Your sleepless nights are paying off! You have worked really hard to get where you are today! You have slaved and sacrificed, but you can now say it was worth the effort. Your business has become a profitable venture, something you can truly be proud to have raised from a nagging idea to a venture that employs several people in the community. Go ahead. Give yourself a pat on the back! You deserve it! Now, do not forget the little people.

One common denominator for all successful business is that they discovered a way to earn profit by solving someone’s problem. Information products are developed by confronting an obstacle, finding a way to overcome it, then showing others how they did it.

There are three essentials for a business which comprise the factors of creating and maintaining an Extreme Competitive Advantage: You, Your Brand, and How Your Product/Service is a Solution.

You are The Star. You bring to your business what you have created, accomplished, or overcome. You are the reason your business exists, whether you are selling a service, information, or a gadget. If you aren’t in the equation, your business won’t exist.

THE LAW OF INTENTION states that whatever you think about, or focus your attention on is what you will create. In other words to manifest your Vision for yourself you must persistently think the thoughts and assume the mannerisms and postures that are consistent with the kind of person you want to be in the present moment.

The Wealth of Knowledge… a short essay.

Much of the wealth of mankind has been determined by the control of some certain resource such as land, oil, gold, silver, copper, salt, bronze, steel or even stone. Great fortunes have been the result of gathering and controlling these resources. The lesson here is that it is to your great advantage to pick a resource, learn as much as possible about it and through the acquisition of the necessary skills and knowledge, ‘make it your own’.
