Do You Want a Raise/Promotion?

Do You Want a Raise/Promotion?

What is your business value?

The way  business value is mostly meausured is (on your job), by the amount you make per hour isn't it?

I was watching a video (I always making it a habit to learn something new everyday), about Jim Rohn.  For those of you that aren't familiar with Jim Rohn, he was Tony Robbins' mentor. Jim was all about Personal Development, and bettering himself everyday.

Anyway Jim said that it's a misnomer that people get paid by the hour. They get paid by the value that they bring to the job/company. What an interesting way to look at that isn't it? I never though of it that way, yet he's right.

How do you get a raise if you're working at a job? - Bring more value to the company.  Do more than is asked of you. Be indispensable. Go above and beyond. Stand out from the herd so to speak. You will get noticed and be rewarded. Your probably asking what if I don't get that raise that I deserve? Good question. 

If you are personally developing yourself everyday, bringing more value to yourself (1st), then to the company, then an opportunity will be presented to you because you are constantly asking these 4 magic words to yourself, "Is this an Opportunity?"

You might have an idea that propels the company higher, or makes it save x amount of dollars, or advertise it in a new/different way, or here's a way to be more efficient, or....

Focus on increasing your value, and your success will be assured. It may not be with that company. Keep your mind open to other options.

Another way to look at your value in the grand scheme of things is noticing that most peoples average income in the US is $52,000 a year.  Not bad you say. Over 30 years that works out to approximately $1.5 Million dollars. Pretty good you say. Let me ask you a question. If you made $1.5 Million working for someone, how much did you make your boss or company????

Do you want more money? Prove it. Not to me, but to yourself.

Helping Others

Helping others

I don't know of anyone who doesn't like to help others in any capacity, do you?
It also feels darn good, doesn't it?

One of the reasons I post a lot about personal development is to help others remember...remember the things they might have forgotten while living a full life. It also helps me be a better, more effective me.
Case in point, I wanted to help and donate things to the AWL (Animal Welfare League), which helps our friends who can't speak, and need a helping hand every once and awhile.

I wondered how I could be more effective in my donations, how they can be stretched further.
It came to me when I saw 21 cases of Coke that was on sale at a store called K Mart. They wanted $8 a case for them (normally in Australia, they are $30 a case :P). Well I'm 'Mr.I like to buy things in bulk' (I don't know where I got that from, lol,) so I bought them all.
I knew that the AWL sold single cans of cold coke for $1.50 each.
1 case had 24 cans in it, and I bought a case for $8 x 21 cases.
I'll let you do the math as to how well they will do financially. 

How can you help I can hear you say?
How about when you go into a grocery store, and they have items on sale for 1/2 off, say spagetti sauce.or pasta, or something else.
Why not buy a case (which might have 8 or 10 jars of sauce in it), and you'll get the other case for FREE. Yes you'll have to pay for that other case, yet you're getting it for 1/2 off so it's just like you would be paying retail like you normally would.
Take that "extra" case of spaghetti sauce, and donate it to a soup kitchen, a church, a neighbor or family in need.
Is this an opportunity?
You bet. It helps someone out that might not have been helped out (giving), and it makes you feel good because you're helping another animal or human.
Please share this post because it might put an idea into someone's mind as to help others.
Love to all.

Breaking all the Rules

Break all the Rules

"Break ALL the rules, NOT the Laws, but the Rules."
 Arnold Schwarzenegger

You have to break all of the rules if you want to get somewhere you've never been. If you keep playing by the same rules that got you where you are, You're going to get the same results you've always gotten.

Is that what you want?
Of course not.
This could be your big enough why.

Scared? Good, yet change that word to excited. Guard how you speak to yourself.
Is it empowering? If not, change it.

If you want to have a change in your life then right now is a great time to start.

One of my mentors is Robert Hollis​. He is amazing. Yes, he's in MLM, yet don't let the fact that he's in MLM close your mind to bettering yourself.
 He's ALL about personal development.
You should check out some of his videos. Look him up on FB.

Most people say that a parachute is most effective when it's open isn't it?
It's kinda like the mind, it's most effective when it's open.

Ask yourself, Is this an opportunity?

Is this an opportunity to change my life?

If so, then open the parachute.

Please share this with your friends who might need a lift in life. Those who are struggling. Those who are lost, and need direction in their lives. You can be that help.

Am I selling anything? Yes. I'm selling the fact that you have the power to change either your life or someone else life. The cost? $0, yet if you don't do something about it, it will cost you more than you know.
I believe in you. Do you believe in yourself? If not, let's take the journey together. You are not alone.

DisBelief

Suspend Disbelief, and act as if your success is certain, and boldly march towards it.

Helping

Have you helped anyone or anything at all today?

Do you remember in the past when you did help, how you felt?

I'll bet it was pretty good wasn't it? A sense of accomplishment as well as satisfaction.

My wife, daughter, and youngest son were out this morning, and we went to a coffee shop right across the street from the beach. It was so beautiful.

 I am grateful for my health, my never ending journey to better myself, my wife's and children's health, as well as the love for we all have for each other.

As we sat waiting for our coffee, a young female waitress brought our drinks to us. We could tell that she wasn't from Australia. After she left our table, I turned to my wife, daughter, and son, and asked them where they thought see was from. We all took our best guess. Two of us thought she was from France, one thought that she was from Middle Eastern area , one said Barcelona Spain. We took everything into account about her. Her accent, features, skin and hair color. When she came back to the table we asked her, and she said she was from Brazil. She had to leave right away because she had other customers to attend to.

When she came back she was smiling, and she brought a pitcher of water with mint inside of it to our table. She had more time to talk so we were asking questions about how she liked it here, and how long she was staying, and what did she like about Australia. As she was speaking, I asked her what her goals and dreams were. She said she didn't know. Fair enough because how many of us truly do?
We were talking about the economy, and asked what it was like in Brazil. She said she worked 60 hours a week, and that her pay was $500 a month. $500 A MONTH to live on. Think about that for a moment. She was very concerned that when she went back that she wouldn't be able to find any work as most of her friends don't have a job, and no prospects of getting a job anytime soon, and on top of all of that, the price of everything is going up via inflation.

I thought about it for a moment as my wife asked her some questions. I thought how can I be of help. When it was my turn to speak, I asked her if she ever heard of Network Marketing, MLM, Direct Sales etc.... She said she had not. I suggested that she look into it when she gets back to Brazil, because of the many wonderful products available, the low cost entry point, how she can earn an extra income, and she can help her friends and family either financially, or offering the opportunity to them as to making an extra income.

You should have seen the look of hope she had on her face! It was priceless! The fact that she has an opportunity to earn any money let alone an extra income, and to help her family and friends in the process.

I didn't tell her about my company or product or anything. I can see and hear some of you in MLM now screaming and pulling your hair out, (that would be an interesting visual).

I suggested to her that she look into all of the different companies and products BEFORE she made a decision. Again I can hear the screaming, and see the hair pulling. Hahahaha.

I gave her my card which has my name, phone number and my website on it, caryhuff.com, and told her that if she goes to the website, she will see inspiring and uplifting posts. She was most appreciative.

When she gets to my website, she won't see anywhere that I'm trying to "sell" her something. Next week I will have a link thought where someone can go to see an opportunity if they so desire.

My point is this. I didn't come from the point of what she could do for me, I came from the view of what can I do for her. To be helpful to her, not me.

I have to say, it felt really good.

So what have you done today to help someone or something?

It can be as simple as a smile, a kind word, listening to someone - really listening to them, picking up  a piece of trash whether someone is looking or not, giving something and expecting nothing in return.
Now that's beautiful because we all need more kindness, compassion, and love in our lives, and guess what, it starts with us.

Pain

We must ALL suffer 1 of 2 things, either the pain of discipline,
or the pain of regret.
Jim Rohn

Discipline yourself to have the life you want, or don't complain when you don't get it because you were afraid of what someone else might think or say to you, or because your lazy, and would rather watch TV, or drink or eat yourself into a stupor, or ??????

Write your goals down, take action, get results.

Influences in your life

Who do you surround yourself with?

Do they support you and your dreams, or do they tear you down?

Do you think that this lady in the picture knows what she's talking about?

You know what you need to do.....
