Wheel of Life Podcast: Business|Productivity|Accountability

Do people buy and make decisions on logic or emotion?

Understanding your clients' emotions--and knowing how they drive key decisions--is critical to building successful high-trust relationships with them.

Most accomplished professionals already know how great a role emotion plays in people's decisions. And people are emotional, especially about their decisions and their money.

What would happen if you could predictably create that mood?

Here are five simple steps for using questions to shape the mood of any conversation or meeting.

1. Decide what emotional mood you want to create. Do you want curiosity, excitement, concern, connection, or what?

2. Experience that emotion yourself. Get yourself "in the mood" before you try to bring your clients there.

3. Think of a time or circumstance that creates that emotion for your client.

4. Ask a question. Be sure it's a question you know will elicit that positive emotion:

5. Be congruent! Don't just "act" as if you feel a certain way. If you want to create excitement, then be excited.

Your whole objective in influencing people's emotions is to create an enjoyable experience for them. How can you apply this concept in your life to achieve even better results?

[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about Grow your Business by Thinking Big: Mindset Makes all the Difference.\n\nWhether or not you realize it, your earnings will always be in line with your mindset. Think big and you will get much bigger results; think small and…well, you can guess what that brings. The key to growing your business is thinking big!\n\nWhat happens when you think small?\n\nWhat happens when you think big?\n\nWealthy people think differently, and that’s no secret, but, what may not be so obvious is how their mindset directly affects their ability to continually grow. \n\nAdjusting your Mindset\n\nIf you want big results, you have to learn to think big. By becoming a go getter and ignoring your inhibitions you’ll become more confident and therefore be able to accomplish business growth. You’ve got to push the limits, step outside your comfort zone, and reach farther. Here’s how you start:\n\nThere’s certainly nothing wrong with the thinking small, if you’ve been happy with everything you’ve settled for so far. You will rarely get what you want and you will certainly not get what you deserve when you think small. You absolutely deserve much more than what you’ve been getting. Thinking big is about realizing your potential and getting what you deserve instead of limiting yourself. There is nothing stopping you from growing your business and thinking big - the ability to change lies within you.\n\nGo to http://www.accountabilitycoach.com/landing/ and get 3 FREE gifts including a special report on 10 Power Tips for Getting Focused, Organized, and Achieving Your Goals Now.

[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about Persistence: The Commonality of Champions\n\nLook upon history, and you’ll find that the notable quality that exists in all champions is persistence.\n\nThe path you walk will not always be easy, but you have to continue to persist. Even in the face of seemingly overwhelming odds, you must keep putting one foot in front of the other, because there are lessons to be learned along the way, all of which will support your success.\n\nWhen you are solution-oriented, you focus on the possibilities, not the impossibilities. In truth, nothing is impossible, and change is inevitable. Knowing this, you can take persistent steps in faith, with the wisdom that nothing stays the same, and at some time in the future your current obstacles will dissolve.\n\nThe most important thing to remember about persistence is to trust your own intuition. Don’t listen to the critics and silence the self-doubt. If you have a feeling that something is going to work, even if everyone says it won’t, persist in your goal until you achieve it. There is core genius in you - and that is the stuff that champions are born from.\n\nGo to http://www.accountabilitycoach.com/landing/ and get 3 FREE gifts including a special report on 10 Power Tips for Getting Focused, Organized, and Achieving Your Goals Now.

Most people I coach don’t initially have a Master Task List, Prioritized Action List, or one place where they keep all the activities required to achieve their goals. How do you know what to do every day if you don’t have a list? How do you know you are on track to achieving your goals if you don’t have a list? How do you remember what to do if you don’t have a list?

I call it a Prioritized Action List (PAL) for a reason – all the activities should be prioritized and all in one place.

Most people have sticky notes and pieces of paper everywhere and don’t have one single place to put everything they need to do to give themselves the highest probability of achieving their goals. They are afraid they will forget something, they are afraid they won’t remember something. These things in their head keep them up at night and a little on edge because they want to remember everything they need to do to get their job done well and make the kind of money they deserve. If you are like most people I coach, you will feel more in control and more focused, not to mention more productive when you have a Prioritized Action List and consistently utilize it. When you follow the activities on your list, you know you are having an impact on achievement of your goals. That’s a great feeling! You should have it more often don’t you think? Begin using a PAL today and see how it can help you be even more successful.

I can’t tell you how many people I begin working with who don’t effectively utilize their calendar. When I ask to review what is on their calendar it is many times empty. I ask them what are the chances you are actually doing the most important activities to help you achieve your goals when there is nothing on your calendar. They honestly tell me not good. They wonder what to do or they muddle through activities and then wonder why they don’t hit their goals. Sound like anyone you might know?

One way is to use a Master Task List or Prioritized Action Plan to have all your activities in one place – not on stickie notes here and there or pieces of paper laying all around you or floating around in your head. Everything goes in one place and you review it frequently. This helps keep you focused on what you have to do and in a priority order.

You will be amazed at how much more productive you are and how much more focused you are and how much more on track to achieving your goals you are.

[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about How to Get the Most Out of Life and Live With No Regrets\n\nAre you living life to the fullest? If life ended tomorrow, would you feel as though you have absolutely lived it to the tilt, with no regrets? If you are like most of us, you still have that “someday” list of dreams that haven’t yet come true tucked away in a drawer.\n\nSadly, life doesn’t have to be that way, but very few people get the most out of life before it’s over. There are, however, a select few that seem to have the philosophy of life figured out and live every day without regret. You know, the kind of people that seem at peace, move at a comfortable pace, and don’t seem to be distracted by the small stuff. They accept others without judgment and walk with an open heart while the rest of us get caught up in the rush of daily life, with no real connection to ourselves or anyone else. We’re so busy, we don’t even have time to think about what’s missing, let alone trying to figure out how to get the most out of life.\n\nBut what if the solution to living with no regrets was as simple as a single question?\n\nLet’s talk about some ways you can begin to change your life and to get the most out it!\n\nRegrets are a waste of time – you can’t change the past. As one of my clients says: “Put your big girl panties on and deal with it.” Create your game plan to achieve your goals this year so you can enjoy what is truly important to you in life. Start today!\n\nMy hope for our time together is that you got value and an idea or two that will help you be even more successful – personally and professionally.

As good as you think you may be with your time management; there are always “time-wasters” that can be eliminated from your daily life.

All the miscellaneous stuff that consumes your time with little or no return eventually must be eliminated from your schedule.

When you think about it, what do all the time wasting activities you do every day cost you?

I suggest you try NOT CHECKING EMAIL FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

SCHEDULE TIME to handle your emails. It could be two times a day – at 11:00am and then at 4:00pm. You can set the autoresponder to tell people that you check it 2 times a day or not. Some people like to do this so people know when to expect a response back and some don’t care if they do this.

This one simple concept, of NOT checking email first thing in the morning, can help you stop wasting time in one area and focus on the activities you need to do in order to achieve your goals. Don’t take my word for it, try it like my other coaching clients have and see what impact it has in your life.
