Hi this is Coach Trish,
Today's life tip is number 7 in my 10 part series on how to improve your career, courtesy of the Brian Tracy program I'm listening to. Number 7 is, develop a positive attitude. A positive attitude is simply the ability to remain positive and optimistic in the face of ups and downs. Now your attitude and your personality are largely determined by how you explain things to yourself. Stuff happens to all of us right? But it depends on how you explain it inside your own head. So if something happens and you explain it as, "I always have bad luck, that's the worst thing that's ever happened to me!" You're going to have a negative outlook. But if you explain it as, "Well, you know, this is a learning experience, maybe there was a reason for that, maybe I will be able to use this experience in the future, maybe there's a reason for this" whatever. But if you explain it to yourself in a positive way, you can put a positive spin on it, you can remain in a positive state. And employers, partners, customers, everybody wants to be around positive people. So developing and keeping a positive attitude is number 7 on how to improve your life and your career.

Hi this is Coach Trish with part 6 on how to improve your career,
It is your appearance! Now you can whine and complain all you want that we shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, yada, yada, yada. But truth is, we do. And it doesn't make us horrible people, it's just that when you meet somebody, you've got to base your first impression on something so, it's their appearance and 95% of that, is your clothes, simply because 95% of your body is covered in clothes. So just take care, when you're getting dressed and you're going to out and do business; look at yourself in the mirror. Just take a moment and ask yourself, objectively, ask yourself, would I want to do business with this person? If the answer's not a definite yes, go back and fix it. You don't have to make a big deal out of it, just ask yourself, would I do business with this person? Somebody decides within the first 5 seconds whether or not they want to do business with you and they cement that decision within the next 30 seconds. And from then on, everything you say or do will be interpreted to confirm their first impression. First impressions are so important. So take the effort to make a good one. Also remember, you attract that which you are!

Hi this is Coach Trish,
Today's life tip is part 5 of my 10 part series of how to improve your career courtesy of a Brian Tracy program I'm listening to. Number 5 is work ethic. Develop good work habits, good work ethic. Become the hardest working person you know. But don't just work hard, be effective. Being efficient is working hard, being efficient is doing things right but being effective is doing the right thing. Constantly ask yourself, "What is the best use of my time right now?" If you can do that and develop a good work ethic, you will become indispensable. You'll be indispensable at any job, indispensable in any group that you're a member of, you'll be indispensable. Another way to look at it is how much supervision do you need? Only the top 10% of people can work without supervision. If you can work as though everyone were watching you when nobody is, you will not require any supervision. People who require supervision, require someone to be paid to supervise them and that pay is going to come out of the money that they would be making. So if you can work independently, without supervision, you make all the pay. And few people can do that, it's the top 10%. But frankly if you're reading this or watching this video, you are either in the top 10% or you are on your way to the top 10% because the bottom 90 won't take the time to do this, they won't take the time to improve themselves. The majority of the people are watching TV right now. If you would like a 30 complimentary consultation, sign up on my contact me page and request it there. And always remember YOU ARE POWERFUL!

Hi this is Coach Trish, 
My life tip for today is part 4 in my 10 part series, 10 ways to improve your career from Brian Tracy. Number 4 is money. You need money to make money right? You always hear that. But you know what you really need, is you need to learn to save money. Because money gives you freedom. What if the opportunity of a lifetime comes along and you don't have the money to take advantage of it? You need to learn to save money. And just start small. Save a little bit of money every day, every week, every month and as you save a little bit, you learn to save a little more and you learn to save a little more and pretty soon you might become addicted to having money in the bank! It's so important, we think about money giving us the freedom to do stuff, go where we want, things like that. But money also gives you the freedom to take advantage of opportunities when they come about. If there's something you really want to do, something to improve your career, a class a seminar, things like that, you have to have the money to do it. So start now, just save a little bit, I don't care if it''s a dollar a week, but start, and you're on your way!

Hi this is Coach Trish, 
Today's life tip is #3 in my 10 part series on how to improve your life and career from Brian Tracy. Number 3 is contacts. Always be networking, always be increasing your contacts. Because your success is going to be directly related to the number of people who know and like you. So ask people questions. Here's a great one, when networking, ask people, "What would I need to know about you and your business to recommend you to my friends?" Who is not going to want to answer that question? And they're going to like you right away because people love it when you're interested in them and you're interested in their business. And they're going to talk to you about their passion and they are going to be interesting to you. So it's not going to be hard. My friend Kent Georgi talks about friendships as being golden nuggets. Every time you meet someone and you do something kind, you're interested in them, you make a friend, that's a golden nugget. And you take those nuggets and you put them in a bag. And then later, when you have a project, when you need help, you need support, you have a bag of gold that you can reach into and you can pull out of! Someone to help you, to partner with you, to support you, there's all kinds of people in there. Always be networking, always be increasing your contacts. And it's easy to do by simply being interested in other people. For a 30 minute complimentary coaching session, go to my website and request it on the contact me page.

Hi, this is Coach Trish and today's life tip is the 2nd in a 10 part series from a Brian Tracy program that I'm listening to. 10 ways to improve your life, your career and improve your income. Way number 2 is skill. Skill is what you train at, the expertise you work at. Lots of people have talent, but someone who will actually work at honing their skill will always excel over someone with talent, no matter how much talent they have. And everybody wants something right, everybody wants to achieve their goals but not everybody is willing to put in the work to develop the skill to be in the top 10% of their industry. That's what you want to do, develop the skill, read the books, go to the courses, practice, hone your skill, till you're in the top 10% of your field. You will be paid like the top 10%, recognized like the top 10%. All the rewards are in that top 10% and you can get there, simply by honing your skill. Put in the effort, be one of the few who's willing to do the work. If you'd like a 30 minute complimentary consultation, go to my website and request it on the contact me page. And always remember, YOU ARE POWERFUL!

This is Coach Trish and today's life tip is going to be the first in a 10 part series from a Brian Tracy program that I'm listening to. 10 ways you can increase your income, improve your life, improve your career. First one is education. For every additional year of education you have, it means about $200,000 over your lifetime. Now this doesn't have to be just traditional education. Although that's what the studies were mostly done on, high school versus college, versus graduate school. An extra $200,000 for every additional year of education. But if you are continually educating yourself, your income can continually go up. It doesn't have to be, like I said, college or high school, it doesn't have to be traditional. It's seminars, books, tapes, making your car a moving university. Whenever I'm in my car I'm always listening to cds, listening to tapes, I'm listening to Les Brown, Brian Tracy, Jim Rohn, Anthony Robbins is another one of my favorites. Constantly be educating yourself. The average person reads 1 or 2 books a year. You can easily read 2 books a month. At the end of a couple of years, you will be an expert in your field. So continuous education. For a complimentary consultation, go to my website and request it on the contact me page. And always remember, YOU ARE POWERFUL!

Hi this is Coach Trish,
My life tip for today is, take your own advice. I had this old boss who used to have a saying that I loved. He would say, "Take my advice, I'm not using it!" And that made me think, do you use your own advice? Cause I don't use my own advice a lot of times. If you think about it, we know so much! You have learned so much in your lifetime, that if you stop and think and just maybe ask for answers, let your mind churn, you will come up with the answers. You will come up with what you need to do. You probably know what you need to do, but are you doing it? Are you following your own advice? If you're not, sit down for a moment with yourself and imagine you're talking with your best friend or your child or your nephew, someone who would take advice from you. And they ask you, whatever it is that you're pondering in your life. Whatever that thing is that you haven't been able to figure out or you can't decide on. Imagine someone asking you that question, how would you tell them to figure it out? What would you suggest that they do? Bet you're bottom dollar, that is what you should be doing! So there you have it. Are you taking your own advice?

Hi this is Coach Trish,
My life tip for today is, You want to change your life? Decide to! Along with being a big Les Brown fan I am a big Anthony Robbins fan. One of the things Anthony talks about is that you can change your life in a second. You can change your life in an instant, with a decision. That's the most powerful thing that we can do to change our lives, decide to. So think about the things that you've been putting off, changes you want to make, why haven't you done them? There may be lots of reasons but when it really comes down to it, you have not decided to change. So one of the things I'm deciding to do is I'm going to start posting these videos in the morning. I'm a bit of a procrastinator so I've been posting these videos at 11 o'clock at night. Cause I'm like, "I have to get one up today!" I may still shoot them at night, but I'm going to start posting videos every morning. So that's something I'm deciding to do. So that means I have to act in advance. I have to have a video done cause I am not going to get up in the morning at 6 o'clock in the morning to post a video by 8, that has to be done the day before. So what is it in your life that you've been wanting to do, meaning to do but you haven't done? Decide and get it done!

HI this is Coach Trish,
My life tip for you today is on getting your message across. Whether you're speaking to a group or whether you're one person or whether you're trying to convince your kids of something, there's 3 things you have to remember. These are from my mentor Les Brown. Who are you? What have you got? And why do I care? Now by who are you, I mean why are you qualified to speak about what you're speaking about? Did you have some experience that made you qualified, do you have some education that makes you qualified, why are you qualified? What have you got? Now, tell me what you've got. What is your message that you're trying to get across? And then, why do I care? How can I use it? How's it going to affect my life? How's it going to help me to make my life better? So there you go, when you're speaking to someone, let them know; why are you qualified to speak on it, what have you got and how can it help them to improve their life or get what they want. And that will help you get your message across. Courtesy of Les Brown!
