Success - 3 Keys to Taking Control of Your Thoughts

Your thoughts are a major part of the success that you have in your life. If you have thoughts that tell you that you can't succeed then you will find it very difficult to succeed at anything. However, if you have thoughts that assist you in your success then you will have much more success. Here are 3 keys to help you take control of your thoughts so you can succeed at whatever you put your hand to.

1. Become aware of what your thoughts are.

Do you know what kind of thoughts you have during the day or do your thoughts just happen without you ever knowing what is going on? If you start paying attention to what you are thinking you will find out that you may not be thinking things that will help you. Start monitoring what you are thinking and rate your thoughts on how much they either help you succeed or hinder you to succeed.

2. Snap your thoughts away.

One of the best ways to change your thought patterns is by snapping them away with a rubber band. I learned this from a book called 'The One Minute Millionaire'. Put a rubber band around your wrist. Every time that you realize you are thinking something that is negative snap the rubber band. You may be a bit sore for a while but before long you will stop thinking limiting thoughts because you don't want to snap that rubber band any more.

3. Replace your thoughts.

The moment you realize that you are thinking about something that will hinder your success, immediately start to think about ways to become successful. You have to train your mind to think the way you want it to. This may take a few weeks but you will begin to see the results of it in your life very soon.

Success - How to Live a Life of Wealth

I have met so many people that want to live a life of wealth but don't actually know what that is. You may think that a life of wealth means to have more money than you know what to do with but that is not a complete answer. A wealthy life is one that encompasses every aspect of life.

You may know someone that is very rich but are totally unhappy. You may find it hard to believe that someone with a lot of money can not be happy. You may think that having money is the answer to happiness but it's not. For you to have true wealth you must be wealthy in all areas of your life.

If you want to be wealthy the first thing that you need to do is define what wealth is to you. This includes your finances, family, health, business, work, and so on. If you are able to reach all the things that you have listed as successes in these areas you will find true wealth. The reason why most people never reach true wealth is because they search after one thing which is usually money. In reality, money is only a part of wealth.

Strive to keep a balance in the areas of your life that you want to be successful in and you will find that wealth is yours. Learn from people that have gone down that path that you are endeavouring to go down. The more advice and wisdom that you can learn from someone who has true wealth that faster you will be able to obtain it in your own life.

How To Be Successful Selling Timeshare and Vacation Owner - Get Your Share of the Big Bucks

Timeshare and vacation ownership. what are they about? What is it like to have a career in this industry? What does it take to make a six-figure income and to stay employed in the industry?

I am not writing these articles with the intention of hiring anyone since I'm not a sales recruiter.I do have an MBA in real estate development and management and my pet peeve in business is employee turnover. I just don't like it. Turnover in the vacation ownership/timeshare industry is horrible.

My MBA side of my brain tells me that turnover is expensive and not exciting or positive for anyone involved. You've also probably heard that dissatisfied customers or employees can do more damage to the business in the long run than the happy customers and employees can do to improve your bottom line.

If something frustrates you or gets you mad, the best thing you can do, instead of anger management or psychotherapy, is to take action. So here I am.

Most salespeople hired to sell vacation ownership or timeshare need a real estate or timeshare sales license. If you have the time and the money, the more comprehensive full real estate license will allow you more career options and I highly recommend more education in any field if you want to be successful and stay in the industry.

What happens when a person gets a job selling timeshare or vacation ownership. At this time in the industry, potential guests or prospects are marketed and invited to a sales presentation. The majority of these guest invitations include an incentive or gift for the participant's time. People love gifts, and incentives, and a good deal. We're greedy, bargain hunters. The industry knows this and depends on us to fill the sales centers for presentations.

As a salesperson, the presentations you will make will often range from 90 minutes to 3 hours, depending on the company you work for. With timeshare or vacation ownership sales the unique factor is that the guest or participant you will try to sell has come to see your resort and product with intentions of getting a gift, getting out fast, and most have no intention of buying anything.

Selling people who have not come to buy anything and often who have an agreement not to buy no matter what you have, no matter how good it sounds, and no matter how affordable. This is such a different form of selling than working in a retail store where people have come in specifically to buy something and with intentions of taking it home with them.

The employee turnover in the timeshare and vacation ownership sales industry is huge. It's horrible. Employers spend an amazing amount of money to find salespeople and salespeople get in the business and are shocked by the rejection and how hard it can be to sell people their vacations and they run away. A successful timeshare salesperson must be perceived by the guest as authentic and sincere. Companies should have more comprehensive sales training to help build the employees skills so they will be able to stay on the job.

I attended a financial seminar and they discussed the "Asset Value of Employees ." My question is, " If employees are your greatest asset, how much money and value are you adding to the bottom line of your competitors when they leave you and go to work for your competitors?" If the companies finally calculate these numbers they will have to pay more attention to keeping their employees and not letting them fail and leave.
