15 Things You Should Give Up To Be Happy!

1. GIVE UP YOUR NEED TO ALWAYS BE RIGHT

2. GIVE UP YOUR NEED FOR CONTROL

3. GIVE UP BLAME

4. GIVE UP YOUR SELF-DEFEATING SELF-TALK

5. GIVE UP YOUR LIMITING BELIEFS

6. GIVE UP COMPLAINING

7. GIVE UP THE LUXURY OF CRITICISM

8. GIVE UP YOUR NEED TO IMPRESS OTHERS

9. GIVE UP YOUR RESISTANCE TO CHANGE

10. GIVE UP LABELS

11. GIVE UP ON YOUR FEARS

12. GIVE UP YOUR EXCUSES

13. GIVE UP THE PAST

14. GIVE UP ATTACHMENT

15. GIVE UP LIVING YOUR LIFE TO OTHER PEOPLE'S EXPECTATIONS

HOW TO THINK AND BECOME BIG!!!!!!!!!!

IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOUR CURRENT SITUATION, YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO THINK BIG. THIS ISN'T JUST ABOUT COMING UP WITH WACKY IDEAS OR OUTRAGEOUS SOLUTIONS, BUT THINKING ABOUT YOUR LIFE AS SOMETHING THAT IS BIGGER THAN WHAT IT IS RIGHT NOW.

EVERY CHOICE YOU HAVE MADE HAS LED YOU TO WHERE YOU ARE NOW; EVERY CHOICE YOU MAKE NOW WILL CREATE YOUR FUTURE.  BY THINKING BIG, YOU WILL RISE ABOVE YOUR CURRENT SITUATION AND BEGIN TO CREATE THE FUTURE OF YOUR CHOOSING.

HERE IS HOW TO DO IT......

1. DREAM BIG DREAMS
         Dream about the life you really want to live. Don't have limits. Visualize achieving great things in the future. A lot of human accomplishments started with a dream

2. FOCUS ON FUTURE REGRETS
         "We often regret not the things we do, but the things we didn't do."
 Unless you see how far you can take something, you will never know how far you could have gone and you will always wonder. Don't look back with regret and wonder "what if....."

3. VISUALIZE YOUR DAYS IN ADVANCE
           Before going to bed - visualize what you will do tomorrow. Visualize waking up when you want, feeling good, and go through the day seeing yourself accomplishing each task that you are faced with.

4. ASK BIG QUESTIONS
          Ask yourself questions that make you think about your situation and how you can change certain things. Don't ask questions like, "Why does this have to happen to me?" Instead, ask yourself, "How can I change this?" Or, what can I learn from this? What is the opportunity in this?

5. SOLVE BIG PROBLEMS
          To determine how big a person is, just take a look at the size of the problems they are trying to solve. If your main concerns everyday are about how bad the traffic is, or how annoying the person sitting next to you is, then you are not thinking big enough.  To think big, you need to tackle bigger problems, such as what you can do now to move yourself closer to your goals. How can you improve your productivity? How can you help someone in need?

Anthony Robles : Our Key Note Speaker at the National Conf in Atlanta

 

Anthony Robles was our key note speaker at our Conference this weekend.... Here is his story..... What an amazing guy.... 

Collegiate wrestling champion Anthony Robles

Anthony Robles looks just like you, me, and everyone else except he’s cut like the Statue of David and has one leg.

At 125 pounds, he possesses the sculpted upper body of someone just as dedicated and 40 pounds heavier, a feature you don’t immediately notice because your transfixed by the column of air beneath his right hip.

Robles, now a national champion wrestler at Arizona State, was born this way – not jacked, but without a right leg. That he refused prosthetics at age three is the stuff of legend, and in fact might be just that - his parents likely made the decision, but it was Anthony’s to live with.

Robles impresses with his ability to walk, and his ability to wrestle, and his ability to climb the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum, which he did the day after finishing his senior season at ASU 36-0.

He’s like a real-life Rocky, only his Apollo Creed is his disability – or his super-ability, or whatever it is one calls a condition perhaps disadvantageous, perhaps not.

Robles didn’t pick up wrestling full-time until his freshman year in high school. A then 90-pound mass of motor and inspiration, he’d give up his defensive tackle position on the football team to pursue a sport in which taking a knee did not take him out of play.

Robles’ compensates for his lower body’s immobility by transferring all that would-be strength to his chest, arms and torso, as a blind man might acquire an acute sense of hearing. Power runs in the family – his father, Ron, lifted weights professionally, though would not let his son risk stunted growth as a curious child.

So Robles took to push-ups next to the bench press in his father’s garage. In sixth grade, he broke his school’s push-ups record. He now benches 305 pounds with his 125-pound frame.

Adopting a unique style – obviously – Robles dominated his high school competition. He finished a combined 96-0 over his junior and senior campaigns, capturing two state titles and a scholarship to ASU along the way.

It was when his story attracted national attention, as stories about one-legged wrestling phenoms are wont to do, that debate began over whether or not Robles’ figure gave him, ironically, a leg up on the competition.

It does, in some ways. There’s no denying this. The human leg accounts for roughly 15-25% of one’s total body weight. Wrestlers compete by weight class. At 125 pounds, Robles can, in layman’s terms, redistribute the 30 pounds a second leg might’ve weighed through the rest of his body.

He is bigger and stronger from the waist up than anyone he has ever faced. His competitors cannot practice on three-limbed opponents.

Still, in a sport in which the single-leg takedown exists the primary way to grapple one’s opponent to the mat, the fact that Robles drops to a knee to begin makes his technique uncanny at best and like stepping to a ledge to entice his adversary to jump at worst.

Driving one’s opponent to the floor typically constitutes the first step to a successful match. Shooting a single-leg takedown from the floor and with the forward thrust of only one appendage implies, if only to common sense, some sort of added difficulty.

Given his style, it seems as though this champion always starts from behind. As he did, presumably, in life. Perhaps Anthony Robles’ unfair advantage, then, is not a product of his one leg. Perhaps it is a product of his one heart.

5 STEPS TO MENTAL TOUGHNESS

These are five steps that will help you develop the mental toughness needed to face the challenge of your natural instinct of fear.......and to win!

Step 1 - MAINTAIN POSITIVE EXPECTANCY

You must keep the vision of your desired, future achievement in the forefront of your mental focus. Keep your eye on the prize! Also, recognize that fear serves no purpose in your personal growth unless you are actually physically threatened. Achievement is 80% mental.

Step 2 - MANAGE YOUR DAILY CHOICES ACCORDING TO YOUR GOALS, NOT YOUR FEELINGS

Managing consistent, positive expectancy is difficult because you never feel the same, physically or emotionally every single day of the week.  If you only work on your goals when you feel good, your actions will be too inconsistent to produce results.

Step 3 - AGGRESSIVELY MANAGE YOUR POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS

Your associations with others will either promote your growth or deter it. The thinking habits of those with whom you associate affect your thinking. You must, therefore, foster relationships with people who inspire and influence your growth. If you are positive and goal-directed, you will attract those of similar thinking habits.

Step 4 - LIVE IN THE MOMENT!
Life comes to each of us one day at a time. You cannot live in the future any more than you can change the past. The past is gone and tomorrow does not exist. Many people never succeed in their life plans because they are always saying, "I will start tomorrow".  The only part of living that really matters is right now....this moment.

Step 5 - BELIEVE
You must believe that you can achieve, for it is the spark that sustains you.

CHOICE - THE FOUNDATION OF ACHIEVEMENT

"ACHIEVEMENT IS SIMPLY THE RESULT OF DOING THE 'RIGHT THINGS' CONSISTENTLY OVER A SUSTAINED PERIOD OF TIME. DOING THE 'RIGHT THINGS' IS A DIRECT RESULT OF YOUR PERSONAL CHOICE.  YOUR FUTURE IS BUILT ON THE CHOICES YOU MAKE, DAY BY DAY, MOMENT BY MOMENT."

CONGRATS TO ADAN GOMEZ FOR GETTING PROMOTED TO ASSISTANT MANAGEMENT

PRESS RELEASE : ADVANCED BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS INC, PROMOTES AN ASSISTANT MANAGER WHO STARTED ENTRY LEVEL IN THE COMPANY 6 MONTHS AGO!

2012 - ITS A NEW YEAR - STOP WASTING TIME! HERE ARE 8 SECRET TIME WASTERS AND HOW TO OVERCOME THEM!

Time-Wasters

• Talking too long on the phone
• Too frequently browsing social media sites
• Incessantly preparing and not taking action
• Failing to say no to unrelated tasks
• Failing to ask for help or follow directions
• Waiting until late in the day to do tasks
• Having a disorganized office
• Focusing on smaller, less important tasks

Action-Makers

• Schedule phone calls with end times when possible
• Set a time limit for non-task-related Internet browsing
• Map or outline your most pressing task
• Make a short daily to-do list and say no to tasks not on that list
• Set deadlines and alarms for you to complete tasks
• Close your Internet browser or unrelated windows to avoid distraction
• Set your Chat status to “Busy” or go offline
• Place your phone on “Do Not Disturb”

DO YOU HAVE A SELLING ATTITUDE?

GOOD SELLING REQUIRES THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE PRODUCT WELL AND WORK TO APPRECIATE THE CUSTOMER'S REQUIREMENT. BUT BEFORE AND BEYOND ALL THAT, THE SECRET TO A GOOD SALESPERSON IS ABOUT WHAT GOES ON INSIDE THEIR HEADS. ABOVE ALL, SELLING IS AN ATTITUDE. IT'S HOW YOU THINK AND FEEL. IT'S ABOUT YOUR WHOLE APPROACH TO YOURSELF, YOUR COMPANY, YOUR PRODUCTS, AND OF COURSE, YOUR CUSTOMERS. ALL OF THIS CAN BE CONDENSED TO THREE WORDS: CONFIDENCE, PRIDE AND CARE.

Confidence
The basis of all successful selling is confidence. This does not mean blind hope - it is more about how you think about yourself and the future.

Self-belief
Confident people believe in themselves and their abilities to sell. To create trust, the first thing that you sell is yourself.  While self-belief does not guarantee a sale, it always increases the probability of success.

If you go into a selling situation and you don't even believe in yourself, the customer won't believe in you either - and they won't believe what you say. Your doubt will become their doubt, and doubt does not lead to the sale.

Informed Optimism
Blind belief is not always a good thing. Being positive because you have studied the product and the customer is greater reason to be confident. Belief and optimism provide powerful support, but they don't replace factual knowledge.

If you're ready to sell with good information at your fingertips, then you have good reason to be optimistic. Even if you don't have complete information, a tendency to optimism also helps create a positive attitude.

Can-do
Self-belief and an optimistic approach lead to a "can-do" attitude, which means you'll get out there and create the sale through your thoughts and actions.  Belief is not enough: You've got to put in the work too.

Pride
Pride placed outside yourself is an important attitude that communicates and transmits itself to your customers

Pride in the company
First, you should be proud to work at your company. Associating yourself with the brand and values should make you feel good. You should be happy to tell others what to do.

Pride in the product
Secondly, you should be proud of what you are selling. Just thinking that you have the privilege of selling such a fine product should make you very happy. As with pride in the company, an intrinsic pride in the product is a powerful motivator, both for you and for your customer.

Care

Self-belief attitude is a caring attitude. Show your customers that you care about them - and how the products you're selling can help.  Care for customers can include taking time out from your normal selling context to check up on them and that they're happy with the product.  When others know that you care about them, personally, then they will be far more willing to trust you - and trust is the first doorway toward selling.

IT'S WHEN THINGS SEEM WORST THAT YOU MUSTN'T QUIT.

12 Principles of Influence in Sales

In your career as a sales professional, you know that you want to influence people and events - but do you feel that you can successfully accomplish this goal?  Here are 12 specific principles of influence that the best sales people consistently use.

1. ATTENTION - Top sellers capture the attention of busy prospects. They are memorable in prospecting and in sales conversation. They break through the noise. They highlight their differentiation. You can't influence someone if they're focused on something else.

2. CURIOSITY - Once you have someone's attention, the easiest thing to do is to lose it. Your goal is to pique and hold the prospect's curiosity.  Curiosity is a powerful concept. People know what they have, but they want to know what they are missing.

3. DESIRE - Desire is the gap between where someone is and where he wants to be. The more you can stoke someone's desire to change his reality, the more you'll be able to influence him.  When buyers start to see what's in it for them, they start to become emotionally involved in wanting whatever it is.

4. ENVY - Desire is powerful. Envy is desire with a turbo boost.  If your prospect wants something they don't have, their desire will drive them.  If they want something that other people have, their unhappiness will eat away at them until they get it.

5. EMOTIONAL JOURNEY - People forget what you tell them, but they remember how they feel.  Top sales people, leaders, and professionals take prospects on an emotional journey, often through stories that evoke emotional responses.  This emotional journey helps prospects to feel the pain where they are, and feel what the happiness and fulfillment will be like in their better future.

6. BELIEF - You'll have maximum ability to influence people when prospects believe that things could be better, should be better, and can actually get better if they buy from you. The more convinced they are that your solution will succeed, the more willing they will be to move forward.

7. JUSTIFICATION - People buy with their hearts and justify with their heads. Even if you are able to capture the hearts of your buyers (through the emotional journey you take them on), if you cant make the ROI case for working with you, you won't make the sale.

8. TRUST - The principle of trust works closely with the principle of belief.  Belief is faith that something will work, trust is faith in you.  Trust is the foundation of the sale. No trust, no sale.

9. STEPPING STONES - Once people get on a path, they're much more likely to stay on that path. People are driven to be consistent. So if you get them to try or buy something from you once, even if it is small, they are much more likely to buy again.

10. DESIRE FOR INCLUSION - People don't want to be left out. They want to feel included. If the best companies are purchasing a certain technology, they want to be in on it.

11. LIKEABILITY - People buy from people they like. They interact with people they like. Likeability creates and enhances opportunity for conversations at all stages. And, as we know, conversations are at the heart of sales success.

12. COMMITMENT - Rainmakers are great at getting buyers to agree to next steps. Written and public commitments are stronger than verbal and private commitments. The best sellers ask for commitment at the right time, get signatures, and get buyers to communicate commitments publicly.

Advanced Business Acquisitions Joins Local Firms For Charity Event For Operation Smile

http://www.i-newswire.com/advanced-business-acquisitions/128718

San Jose, CA (I-Newswire) September 10, 2011 - Advanced Business Acquisitions, Inc. joins local companies to help raise money for Operation Smile. Members of the company attended a locally hosted Bowl-A-Thon to raise money for the charity. 

Advanced Business Acquisitions is a sales and marketing firm located in San Jose, CA. The company specializes in acquiring and retaining clients. One of the main clients at Advanced Business Acquisitions is an American multinational telecommunications corporation headquartered in Dallas, Texas. The client is the largest provider of mobile telephony and fixed telephony in the United States, and is also a provider of broadband and subscription television services. 

Operation Smile is a charity organization healing children with deformed cleft palates. Founded in 1982, the charity organization is a mobilized force of medical professionals who provide safe, effective reconstructive surgery for children born with facial deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate.

Every three minutes a child is born with a cleft which often causes them to be unable to eat, speak, socialize or smile. In some places these children are shunned and rejected and often times, their parents cannot afford to give them the surgeries they need to live a normal life. Since inception, through the help of medical volunteers, the organization has provided more than 2 million patient evaluations and over 200,000 free surgeries for children and young adults born with cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities. The organization currently has a presence in over 60 countries.

Advanced Business Acquisitions has attended several Operation Smile charity events including the Smile Gala in New York City, a charity game tournament and a community BBQ. The recent Bowl-A-Thon was held at the San Jose State Bowling Center. Members paid a donation to play and compete. All profits were given to Operation Smile. 

“Operation Smile has been such an inspiring organization to be able to work with. I am proud to be able to be a part of an organization that makes such a strong impact on so many people. Our team is very dedicated to giving back and Operation Smile is one of the organizations the whole team has become very passionate about,” explains Julie Strait, President of Advanced Business Acquisitions, Inc. 

Advanced Business Acquisitions is expanding this year and plans to continue to contribute to the charity as the company grows. More information about the volunteer work Advanced Business Acquisitions does can be found on the company website.

Taking Your Sales Talent to the Next Level

GOOD SALESPEOPLE BORN OR ARE THEY MADE? IT'S TRUE THAT SOME PEOPLE MAY HAVE MORE NATURAL TALENT THAN OTHERS. BUT NO MATTER HOW MUCH TALENT YOU WERE BORN WITH, THE KEY TO SUCCESS IS MAKING THE MOST OF THE ABILITIES YOU HAVE.

1. EFFORT: There is only one road- one long road - to follow to accomplish our goals. There are no shortcuts. Success comes from hard work. It comes from the extra effort we put in, from the work ethic we foster, and from the values to which we are committed. Only effort, sustained over time, will build the foundation to support success.

2. PATIENCE AND PERSEVERANCE: In our quest for instant gratification, we often forget about patience and perseverance, two of the most useful sales tools ever. You can't plant a seed and expect a ripened crop the next day; you must give the plant a chance to take root and grow. At the same time, you can't sit idly by and wait for it to bear fruit; it takes care and nurturing. Sales are the same way. You must plant seeds every single day, be patient when things do not proceed as quickly as you'd like them to, and be persistent in your efforts to keep that sale alive and flourishing.

3. CULTIVATED SOLUTIONS: Effort, patience and perseverance will not survive unless you believe 100 percent that your product or service has value and benefits for your customer. So talk to potential consumers about your products and services. Ask them what they want it to do for them. Talk to manufacturers and distributors of similar product lines. Use your research to get new ideas and build on what you already have. Find out what works - and what doesn't

LEAD FROM WHERE YOU ARE!

According to John Maxwell, who has taught leadership for over 30 years, "Leadership is a choice you make, not a place you sit. Anyone can choose to become a leader wherever he or she is. You can make a difference no matter where you are."

See the big picture. Start by doing the following five things:

1. Develop strong relationships with key people. The trick to fulfillment isn’t making every interaction with others go smoothly; it comes from developing strong relationships with them. It’s more important to get along with people than to get ahead of them. If you make it your goal to reach out to others and build relationships with them, you’ll derive fulfillment wherever you are.

2. Define a win in terms of teamwork. Coach Wooden said: “The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team.” In other words, teamwork is what creates success, and we shouldn’t lose sight of that. One player may be crucial to a team, but one player cannot make a team. That is also true of leaders. One leader, no matter how good, does not make a team.

3. Engage in continual communication. As you interact with your leaders, let them know how you are advancing the vision. Get their feedback and ask questions to find out if there are other things you should know to more effectively pass on the vision to others.

4. Gain experience and maturity. Maturity doesn’t come automatically. My friend Ed Cole often said, “Maturity doesn’t come with age. It begins with the acceptance of responsibility.”

5. Put the team above your personal success. When the stakes are high, good team members put the success of the team ahead of their own personal gains.

“Operation Smile is important to us because we’re committed to helping children with special needs,” said Strait. “With the work of Operation Smile, you have the opportunity to support life changing surgeries. I was glad to attend this event and be part of this special night of fundraising.”
