A successful man is a man who has made a comeback after many setbacks.Failures are stepping stones to success

Entrepreneurship is the art of finding profitable solutions to problems. Every successful entrepreneur, every successful businessperson has been a person who has been able to identify a problem and come up with a solution to it before somebody else did. Here are the five rules for entrepreneurship.

Find A Need And Fill It

First, find a need and fill it. Ross Perot, when he was working for IBM, saw that his customers who were buying IBM computers, needed help in processing their data. He went to IBM with this idea and they said they weren't interested, so he started his own business. He eventually sold it out for $2.8 billion dollars. He found a need and he filled it.

Find A Problem And Solve It

The second rule is to find a problem and solve it. A secretary working for a small company began mixing flour with nail varnish in order to white out the mistakes she was making in her typing. Pretty soon, her friends in the same office asked if she could make some for them. So she began mixing it on her kitchen table. Then, people in other offices started asking for it, and she eventually quit her business and worked full time creating what is today called Liquid Paper. A few years ago, she sold her company to Gillette Corporation for 47 million dollars.

Look For Solutions

Find a problem and solve it. Find a problem that everybody's got and see if you can't come up with a solution for it. Find a way to supply a product or a service better, cheaper, faster or easier. Clemmons Wilson saw that there was a need for hotels that could accommodate families that were traveling, and he started Holiday Inns. And Holiday Inns has now become one of the most successful hotel chains in the world.

Focus On Your Customer

Here's the key to success in business. Become obsessed with your customer. Fixate on your customer. Think of the customer. Think of what the customer wants, what the customer needs. What the customer will pay for, what the customer's problems are.

Thomas J. Watson, Senior, the founder of IBM, taught his people and built his company on this principle. See yourself as working for the customer. Once you've come up with a product or an idea, then start to invest your time, talent and energy instead of your money, to get started.

The Source of Most Great Fortunes

Remember this, most great fortunes in America were started with an idea and with personal efforts. Most great fortunes were started with the sale of personal services. This is called sweat equity. In other words, instead of cash equity, put in sweat equity. Put in the sweat of your brow to begin your business. You can learn valuable lessons operating on a small scale.

Action Exercises

Here are two things you can do immediately to put these ideas into action:

First, find a need and fill it. Look around you and search for needs that people have for products or services that are not being met. One small idea is enough to start you on the way to business success.

Second, find a problem and solve it. Look around you for problems that you or other people have that are not yet being solved. Look for solutions that nobody has thought of and give them a try. One good solution could change the whole direction of your life

To starting your business,

"Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life, because you become what you believe"

"Do Anything You Want Just by Setting a Goal"
Do you constantly make resolutions and goals in your mind, but never follow though with them? Do you ever wonder why you aren't getting everything you want out of life?

Goals are your solution.
It's as simple as learning the powerful goal setting and goal achieving techniques that I will teach you in my 69-minute CD.

It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link of the chain of destiny can be handled at a time.
Winston Churchill

Is Destiny Real or do we Create Our Own Future?

Do you ever think about where you are in your life right now and wonder if someone had told you at 20 years old where you would be right now would you have believed it?

Is Destiny real
So is it destiny, is destiny real or do we create it ourselves?

It is funny how the map of our lives unfolds throughout our life and how one thing leads to another on the journey. You can’t help wonder if every decision you have made that leads you along certain path’s was predestined or do we have absolute free will or maybe a combination of both.

At the time, when you are in a particular situation it often feels like you have absolute control over the choice. You feel at the time that you can consciously work out where each choice will lead you. “If I do this ..then that will happen.’

So that’s what makes it interesting when you look back at the path or path’s you have chosen and start to see it in perspective. No disrespect to younger people but you really need a few years under your belt to appreciate this, to be able to have real perspective. Difficult to see that much under the age of 30 really….too busy making choices and experiencing to reflect back.

If someone had told us when we were younger where we would be now we would never have believed it!

We have said a number of times that if someone had told us at 21 we would be living in Australia married to a Thai woman or an English man coming from Thailand and England we both have said it would have been difficult to comprehend. Yet that is exactly where we are today and even though we can both see the path’s that led us here it still amazes us how it all came about and without either of us really foreseeing it, at least not until much later in our lives that is.
So is destiny real? Was it law of attraction? Or was it pure coincidence, a game of chance?

What about technology as well? For us it seems difficult to believe we would have met each other without the internet playing a part in the process because coming from England and Thailand is a world apart. We do know though that taking action is also at the core of our meeting. Being prepared to take a risk and to travel to see each other has been very important and we always say that if you begin any relationship online you must try and bring it into physical reality as soon as possible and as regular as possible until it become permanent.

Is Destiny real

Taking action is actually a big part of the whole key to living a fulfilling and interesting life. Whether it small action or large action nothing will happen until you take some!

So what about you?

Do you look back at your life so far and marvel at the complex connections that have taken place to bring you to where you are now? The times when you think you are going in the wrong direction, when things seem not to be working or uncomfortable only to find later that if they didn’t happen you would not have then achieved some form of success or joy!

Executive Coaching

Coaching Process Diagram

In today’s complex, fast-paced and constantly changing world – executives from a wide range of industries increasingly turn to their executive coach for additional support. Executive coaching is a pivotal support mechanism that enables leaders to more fully realize their own potential and in so doing, be better able to achieve and deliver their organizational goals.

Our coaching services are flexible and built upon leading-edge best practice. Our coaching focuses upon the key leadership points of self, team, business and organizational transformation.

Organizations typically engage us to support them develop their leaders in the following ways:
Senior Leadership Coaching

It’s lonely at the top. Many years of experience have demonstrated to us that leaders, surrounded by top management teams, are rarely able to receive ‘honest readouts’ about their own leadership style. Who am I as a leader? What are my strengths? And what are the development areas that hold me back from reaching my full potential and achieving organizational goals?

As trusted leadership advisors – objective but supportive – we help senior leaders to better understand themselves, their strengths, their development areas – and how they impact those around them. This level of self-insight becomes crucial when needing to get the very best out of others and to foster more effective and more coherent senior leadership teams.
Leadership Pipeline: Top Talent Development:

A strong talent bench is a business imperative. We have significant experience of coaching high potential talent – tomorrow’s leaders – to ensure that they are properly prepared for the challenges of senior leadership. The focus of this coaching is grounded in developing greater self-insight and awareness while developing an understanding of the larger business context. We help individuals better understand themselves and then play to their own spike strengths while bringing their development areas up to par.
Targeted Coaching

High impact, short term coaching to develop specific skills or understanding required by the job or context. This coaching is practical by design with immediate transferable application and tangible results. Examples of our work in this area include:

First 100 days in a role and making a successful transition.
Stakeholder management and delivering through others.
Influencing and honing your leadership radar.

Mattell-Quote-5Coaching Principles

Effective leaders know who they are and what their purpose is.
There are no perfect leaders. Effective leaders have great self awareness and insight.
People can change.
Coaching needs to be centered in the business.
Effective coaching deals with the whole person—not just the business persona.
Effective coaching is pragmatic and grounded in the sound research and best practices.
Effective coaching leverages an individuals’ strengths more than their weaknesses.

"The Gap Between Knowlegde and Action"

You can listen to this and other inspirational speeches as broadcast on The Dr. Moses Show.

Have you ever wondered why, a lot of times, you just can’t seem to make progress in life despite the fact that you know so much about what it takes to succeed? There just seems to be a gap between what you know and what you actually do. I call this The Gap Between Knowledge and Action. That is the title of this message: The Gap Between Knowledge and Action.

Over the years, I have gotten many enquiries through my website called Motivation for Dreamers from people who feel frustrated and unable to progress in life. Quite a few indicated that they have read a lot of different personal development and motivational materials over the years and acquired a wealth of knowledge in this way. But, for some reason, they just couldn’t get past reading or listening to such materials to actually living the life they desired.

Often this was accompanied by a sense of frustration and the feeling that perhaps such things just don’t work, or at least not for them. That is usually how we get to feel when there is a gap between our knowledge and our actions. It’s when you know what to do and how to do it, but you just can’t get to actually doing it.

I have attended or listened to many seminars myself over the years. In many cases they were great seminars, giving really useful information. But I noticed that in all likelihood, most people attending the seminar would put the seminar materials on their shelves afterwards and pretty much not act on the information, even though at the time they received it they were very enthusiastic and excited about it. But somehow, as the days go by the routines of daily life get in the way and the initial zeal just dies out.

It was a coaching session that I came to realize what exactly that gap was. I found out that the missing ingredient is usually:

Clarity

Or rather I should say, it is a lack of clarity that keeps us stuck in a certain pattern. By lack of clarity I mean three basic things:

- Your fears
- Feeling Powerless
- Lack of Focus
Your Fears

By far the biggest obstacle to taking action is your fears. These may be fears that you are aware of, but quite often it is fears that you may not even be consciously aware of. For example, like many people you might like to start a business and have a lot of business ideas in this regard, but maybe you find yourself unable to take the next step. Something holds you back. Until you recognise and deal with that issue you may find yourself stuck.

I know of a person that had such a problem. She had gone into business several times and nothing seemed to have worked out. During one coaching session, she discovered what was holding her back.

You see, this lady’s parents had divorced when she was very young. After the divorce, she lived with her mother who was not wealthy. Her father, on the other hand, was wealthy and would get her expensive gifts and generally provide for her materially. Well, through coaching, she discovered that she was actually sabotaging her chances of success because to her, being wealthy meant being like her Dad. She felt that by being wealthy she would be betraying her mother who was not wealthy. So although outwardly and logically she was in business to make money, inwardly, she was afraid to make money, because she felt it would make her like her like the person she did not want to be-her father.

It is important to be clear on what your fears are. They are by far the biggest obstacle that you have to deal with in order to move ahead and succeed. The example I have given also illustrates that knowing the origins of our fears is very important in dealing with them.

You may know what your fears are, but may not be clear on the reason you feel that way. The answer usually lies in the origin of the fear. Coaching and counselling can help you dig deeper and understand yourself better with respect to your fears.
Feeling Powerless

The second obstacle is Powerlessness. Powerlessness occurs when you are living in a state of low power. In this state you will find that you generally feel less energetic, blame yourself or others, are judgmental of self and others and at times even angry.

The best way I would describe this state is the feeling of having a weight on your shoulder, or a feeling of heaviness in your chest or heart, particularly when you think about your future and your plans. It can be such a drag and every step can take so much effort.

Part of the answer to dropping this weight lies in learning to let go of the negative things in your life. Once you do, you are able to move ahead to a state of higher power. When you are in a state of higher power you let go of blame, judgment, anger and negativity. You drop that weight from off your shoulders or loose those bands that are constricting your heart and mind.

Then you begin to feel refreshed and light. It becomes easier to move ahead without the clutter of negativity. In a state of higher power wisdom and intuition are more accessible to you. The process of letting go of such judgments, blame and negativity need not be a lengthy or difficult one. It just needs to be focused and deliberate. Again, coaching can be very useful in this area. There are even some self coaching tools, such as the Brain Walk, that can help you in this regard. Using the Brain Walk once a day for five to ten minutes, for example, you can energise yourself and get yourself in a state of higher power easily.Another thing that can help you to get to a state of higher power is your spirituality. We often neglect prayer and reading God’s Word, but they are the easiest and cheapest means of getting rid of negativity, blame and judgment of self and others. Meditate on God’s word and pray earnestly. The Bible says the “effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” It will avail you the power you need and give you the courage to move forward without fear and heaviness.
Lack of Focus

Once you have recognised and let go of your fears and are in a state of higher power, you need to add Focus in order to move from knowledge to action. By focus, I mean your vision in life. What is it that you want to do with your life?

Part of the reason that knowledge you have is not being put to use may be that there is nothing for you to focus it on. There is nothing pulling you in a certain direction. So today if I tell you about investing in real estate you will be really excited about it, and tomorrow if I tell you about multilevel marketing you will be really excited about that too. The result is that you be pulled in many directions and end up remaining stationary despite your unfocused efforts.

Acting consistently and towards the right purpose is important. Work out your vision. Work out your purpose. Be clear on what you want in life.

Once you do it becomes easy to say no to things that will not add value to you. It becomes easier to say no to distractions and you will then know what knowledge you need to acquire and concentrate on in order to reach your destination.

I hope you have enjoyed reading these inspirational speeeches as much as I enjoyed writing and giving them.

One of the keys to giving good inspirational speeches is to rehearse the speech very well in advance until you are absolutley comfortable with it, which I always do a coupkle of times.
