The melabraham's Podcast

In this episode, #1 Bestselling Author and Highly Acclaimed business Entrepreneur Expert, Mel Abraham, answers a question by Laurence Marie David. The question is about why people unconsciously sabotage themselves and how it can be transformed.

If we don’t conquer this thing called self-sabotage, we find ourselves in a situation where we create strategies that break down, we relive the experience over and over again, and we also feel helpless. But if we are able to conquer it, our confidence builds, we have micro successes that needs to be celebrated and we get a bigger vision.

In order to defeat self-sabotage, we need to:Have Behavior Baselines: Recognize those behaviors that contribute to self-sabotage.Get to Higher Ground: Move upstream to identify the trigger.Keep Your Eye on the Prize: Understand why we are in the game.The Sabotage Eliminator

There are 4 stages involved in removing self-sabotage from your life:Observe Behavior: Revisit and reflect those times when you felt self-sabotage and discern those behaviors. You need to become aware of it and recognize what it is. Find the pattern of such behavior and then list them out. It could be any habits or patterns that distract you—things like internet, food and drinks.Define Trigger: Find that moment in time that triggers the behavior or thought which redirects you from success to unproductivity. Identify the thought process or mindset and do it specifically so that you get an understanding of what is going on.Replace Behavior: Now, it is time to replace the behavior with something that is more appropriate, positive and productive. Do this by connecting the old triggers with a positive behavior. Journaling or writing down the commitment statements definitely help you stick to it.Get Champions: Find mentors, accountability partners and a community who are willing to help and support you. Give them your triggers, old and new behaviors that they can identify. Also, give them the permission to hold you accountable for your actions. Finally, tie the outcomes to a consequence or reward and you are on your way to eliminate self-sabotage.

In this episode, #1 Bestselling Author and Highly Acclaimed business

Entrepreneur Expert, Mel Abraham, talks about how you can build a

great reputation. It is something that takes years to build and moments

to destroy. Your reputation is envisioned from the outside in and

developed from the inside out. Without a good reputation, people won't

buy from us, they won't trust us and will definitely break up with us in

terms of business and financial transactions.

But if you get it right, you get tons of return customers who tend to

buy more. You also build goodwill that are the intangible values for

any business. It also creates loyalty for a premium and the entire

community will be willing to pay more to get a chance to work with you.

So, when it comes to reputation building, what you need to know is:

Perception is reality: Instead of what you

think, it matters what those around you think. So, we need to manage

their perception and then manage their reality.Shrink the gaps: The wider the gap between perception and reality, the bigger the problems you have. We want to shrink that gap.Control active voice: Control the conversations

that happen around your business. Get ahead and make sure that you have

twice as many positive messages in the marketplace than negative.Reputation Navigator

Your reputation is huge and it depends on three things:

The things that you say,The things that you do, andThe things that are seen.There’s more:

Trust is the result of doing what you say and saying what you do.Role model is the intersection between what you do and what is seen.Notoriety comes from the combination of what you say and what is seen.Also focus on “Who” we are building the reputation with. These are the stakeholders of your reputation:

CommunitySuppliersOwners/InvestorsCustomersTeamWe also need to see “What” our reputation is built on. There are five broad categories for it:

FinancialRelationsQualityGovernanceSocialManage your reputation on all these levels and you will be on the right path to build it in a great way.__________________________ABOUT MEL ABRAHAMMel

What do you do when a situation comes up? Do you react or respond to your employees, teams and customers? There is a huge difference between reacting and responding, and it will determine the outcome in the end.

Key Problems: If you get it wrong by reacting instead of responding, you are going to be in a volatile stage, you become a slave to others and the problem is actually escalated.

Key Promises: If you get it right, you will find yourself living in a much calmer state, you will have created methodical solutions and the outcomes will definitely be better.

To embrace it, you will need to follow these Key Principles:

Stress Inoculation: It is about putting your body emotionally, spiritually and physically into a situation to see your response and process it so you are able to manage it better.

Power of Anticipation: If you anticipate potential pitfalls and challenges, you can figure out ways to navigate through those and become better prepared.

Establish Options Early: Develop multiple plans and options early on so that you have your alternatives in your arsenal when the real deal comes up.

The Reaction Response Paradigm

This paradigm helps us to understand and compare the different outcomes that reacting vs responding modes produce.

If you just react:

Your goals will be short-sighted

There will be passive aggressive behavior

Responses will be emotional

There will be no or very poor communication

There will be overreaction

A lot of assumptions will be there and people will directly jump into conclusions

On the other hand, if you respond:

Goals will be visionary

Values will drive the situation

The responses will come from a place of knowledge

Communication will be highly connected

Instead of overreacting, you will focus on facts

Your anticipation will help the response to be pre-thought out

So, if you don’t get it right and just react, it will lead to more issues. But if you do get it right by responding, it will lead to solutions.__________________________ABOUT MEL ABRAHAMMel

In this episode, #1 Bestselling Author and Highly Acclaimed business Entrepreneur Expert, Mel Abraham answers a common question that comes up when transitioning from employee to entrepreneur and that is when to quit your job. There isn't a single answer that works for all as it is different for each and every person.First, you have to understand that if you don’t get it right, you face key problems that are:You are living a dual life,You have no joy in earning, andThere is no or low cash flow.When you get it right, these key promises are fulfilled:You feel the flow,Your passion is monetized, andUltimately you have freedom and cash flow.So, for the transition we have to work from the principles of:Being committed vs reckless,Planning and testing, andSet your scale threshold.Now, we can move forward and understand how you can affect the transition from job to entrepreneur using the framework:The Entrepreneur Transition FormulaPreparationPassion: Find what you enjoy doing. It should be something that you would do even if you didn't get paid—something that you just love to lose your time in.Value: Figure out how you can provide value doing what you are passionate about so that you can gain in the value exchange economy that is out there.Interview: Go out and survey or ask your potential customers, clients and markets whether what you create is what they will buy.EvaluationPlan: It is about planning your business. Plan the how, when, where, when and what about your products, market, costs and revenue.Micro launch: To reduce the risks, do a test launch on a small audience and see how your product or service performs.Assess: Get the information from the micro launch and evaluate it so that you can make adjustments before taking it to the market.ExecutionFinancial viability: It needs to make financial sense so work out the costs, investments and revenues.Team: Take careful steps to decide on the critical people that you need on your side.Scale threshold: This is the point where you can quit your job. The threshold is different for everyone, so factor in your current income, cost, lifestyle, family and other people that depend on you.__________________________ABOUT MEL ABRAHAMMel

To be successful, you not only look at what the wealthy do but also how they think. Then you can bring it to your life and create richness for yourself.So, the first thing that you have to do is define what wealth means to you and understand what the destination or success looks like for you. After you are clear on it, follow:The Prosperity Paradigm ProfileThis framework is for grasping what manifests in the thoughts of the wealthy.InternalCreator: They all believe that they are the creator of their life, success and the meaning of it. They trust that they themselves are the creator of their wealth.Committed: Another thing is that the wealthy are committed to building a life filled with richness—something that is more than money.Big Thinking: Successful people think big. They don't shrink down because of what society has led them to believe. They have the capability to think of the impossible as possible.ActivityPlay to Win: There's a difference between playing not to lose and playing to win. The latter is the way to emerge in the game of wealth.Self-promotion: When the wealthy search and find opportunities, they are not shy to go out and promote themselves. They step ahead to show the gifts that they have.Successful Circles: They hang out in successful circles of friends, acquaintances and colleagues. Their inner circle is filled with people that are at their level or above; so they can learn and elevate with the help of those people.FocusNet worth Focus: Simply put, net worth is what you own minus what you owe. They focus their thinking on their net-worth and have a maintained liquidity.Value vs Price: In this value exchange economy, instead of getting caught up on price, it is beneficial if you understand that transactions happen because people believe that they get more value in return for the payments. So, focus on creating value.Manage Self First: It is easy to become wealthy if you are disciplined. So, live at a level where you are not only creating today's joy but also allowing for tomorrow to grow.__________________________ABOUT MEL ABRAHAMMel

In this episode, #1 Bestselling Author and Highly Acclaimed business Entrepreneur Expert, Mel Abraham summarizes the elements of habits and then shares the top 10 habits of successful entrepreneurs with the help of what is known as The Entrepreneurial Ten.Here are the top 10 habits of very successful entrepreneurs:Service: The ultra-successful entrepreneurs come from a place of service, and what they are trying to do is make an impact on the lives of people. So, you should schedule your activities not just for financial reasons but in order to have a positive effect on the society and the people around you.State: Along with the state of their mindset, they have their health, vibrancy and energetic state in the highest levels. So, it gives them the energy and resilience to manage and deal with high-stress obstacles in their journey.Self-aware: As they dedicate time to evaluate themselves, they are aware of their strengths and weaknesses. If there are gaps, they invest their time in self-development for a continuous personal growth.Strive: They are goal-oriented and very clear on what they want, what success is for them and their process to get to where they want to be.Standards: Successful entrepreneurs have a set of standards and after they put it in place, they don’t compromise it. They follow it and raise the bar to a very high level.Strategic: Making flippant choices or having their decisions squandered is not something that the uber-successful entrepreneurs do. Their decisions and actions are strategic and it aims to push their mission and vision in the right path.Search: They constantly search for opportunities to grow and their desire to be better is continuous. You will find them looking for new and better ways to serve.Survey: They survey internally and externally to get feedback. So, they look at their business and customer continuously. The information helps them move up.Support: The most successful entrepreneurs always have mentors who help them avoid pitfalls with the help of real and related experiences of their own. Schedule: They schedule everything—from achievements to success—so that it is all in place and has been calendared.  Everything is planned and assigned a date.__________________________ABOUT MEL ABRAHAMMel is the founder of Business Breakthrough Academy and Thoughtpreneur Academy where he helps entrepreneurs bring their businesses to the world and build the lifestyle that they want.

In this episode, #1 Bestselling Author and Highly Acclaimed business Entrepreneur Expert, Mel Abraham talks about goal setting and achievement. When it comes to goals, we set them easily but to make them actionable and achievable, you need to have a process in place that makes them come to life. Your goals have to be ASMART: Aligned with your vision/mission, Specific, Measurable, Actionable or Achievable, Results driven and Time bound.The Ladder of AchievementIf we don't create a process to accomplish goals, then there is a gap that keeps you away from success. This action plan is meant to get rid of that gap.Personal GrowthThe desire to grow is the natural state of humanity and without it we start to question our worth. We need to dream big with great aspirations that keep us from being mediocre. You should be committed to specific growth elements like building relationships and skills in your life.PerseveranceIt’s the stick-to-it-ness factor, so that even though things don't go according to plan, you still persevere and are ready to move through obstacles and challenges.Purpose: Only reaching financial outcomes should not be your purpose; have something that is meaningful and fulfilling.Passion: To keep your life in balance and have a holistic success, have that emotionally compelling "Why" to drive you towards your passion.Patience: You can't control everything, so you need the patience to move through the process and be flexible in the journey.PracticeIt's about your discipline in taking actions. There are three elements under it:Plan: Everything changes, so our plans need to be broken down into bite-sized chunks so that the long term vision can be reached.People: Success and achievement are not solitary pursuits. You need people, the driving force to take steps in the right direction.Positivity: Approach everything with a positive expectancy. If you develop the ladder of achievement, then positivity becomes easy as you know how to navigate past the obstacles.__________________________
