Bill Cullen's 'Golden Apples' - Approach to Success

Attitude for Achieving
What you focus on you get. Dump the negative language and focus on the solution not the problem.

Plan of Action
A positive plan combined with a positive attitude is a recipe for success.

People Power
We can achieve little in isolation. Focus on making others feel good. Follow up on commitments. Do unto others etc.

Learn to be lucky
Luck is where opportunity meets preparation. The more you learn the luckier you get.

Energy to Excel
We need high energy to achieve great results. The paradox of energy is the more you expend the more you create.

Sell your way to success
Sincerity, trust, exceeding expectations and helping people to buy rather than ‘selling’ to them are key.

Jack Canfield & Bill Cullen

The Power of Visualisation

Jack Canfield America’s success coach (as featured in The Secret) and Bill Cullen, one of Ireland’s leading businessmen, shared the stage at a recent charity event in Dublin. I was fortunate to be able to speak with both of them.

In this article I want to share some of their key messages with you, especially the importance of visualising your desired outcomes.

Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is the probable reason why so few engage in it ’                                     Henry Ford.

From Managers to Leaders

Just what is the difference between a manager and a leader? A recent edition of Fortune Magazine identified nine practices that are essential for fostering outstanding leaders in organisations. It makes interesting reading.

Manage your Energy not your Time

Most of us respond to rising demands in the workplace by putting in longer hours. An easier and healthier option is to focus on energy management rather than time management.

And finally...

profile of James Sweetman

Welcome to the June '08 edition of Next Steps

I recently achieved an ambition by sharing the stage with Jack Canfield the internationally renowned coach and author. In our lead article this month I share with you a powerful technique that I use as I work towards my own goals.

I don’t know about you, but I know the more energy I have, the more efficient and effective I am. The new trend in Time Management is Energy Management and we have 7 ways for you to boost your energy. Leaders do the right thing and managers do things right, but how can you turn managers into leaders? Our article on the topic raises some interesting points.

Enjoy.
