Most Business and Life Issues Are People Issues

In today's multi tasking environment, it is really easy to lose sight of the basics. Most Business and Life issues are directly correlated to people issues. If you want to have a better life and better business, take a good look at the people in your life and in your business. Understand their issues and help them fix these issues. By taking care of your people, by training and leading your people, then and only then you will see a dynamic shift in your life and in your business.

If People can not do something there are two reasons behind it. a) They don't know how, this is easy train and teaches them they will do it. b) They don't want to do it. Now if they don't want to do it there are two reasons behind that. a) They don't care this is an attitude issues, b)They belief strong enough not to do it, this is a value issue.

Attitude: Most problems in business and life are attitude problems. Attitude is an assessment of situation based on internal resources and external consequences to deal with the situation. Now a person's attitude is shaped by her/his model of the world, her/his constant environment her/his associations and learning. You can not fix an attitude you can only influence it.

Now Most trainer will teach you what to do, I am here to say " WHY DON'T YOU?" In toady's information saturated environment, everyone knows what to do or at least find ways to do something. My job here is to ask you if you know what to do then
" WHY DON'T YOU DO, WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW?", now if you don't know what to do why don't you do something about it?

Motivation: You see we can not motivate people? Why? Because to be motivated is an action, we can not make people act, only they have the freedom and the choice to do so, however what we can do is to inspire. Motivated action will not be consistent, it will die as soon as the motivating factor is diminished and gone. Inspiration is a thought that is turned on inside a person, inspiration is thinking, when you change your thinking you are changing your neural pathways, a psychical change happens in mind when we are in inspired state, this will change our actions and behaviors and ultimately our character and our destiny.

Communication: You see why do people get unmotivated? Because the motivating factor is no longer there. Lack of motivation comes from poor communication with self and others.
The IT industry has made people communicate faster and faster, however if we don't know what to communicate then we miss communicate faster and in a larger scale. So what is your message to the world? What do you want to accomplish through your message?

Self Esteem: The other issue with people is self esteem, the world is struggling with self esteem and confidence. Positive self esteem results in positive results. Negative self esteem relates to EGO. Have you seen a human being get happy when another gets into trouble, I know I am trying to stretch your imagination here, however have you seen one human being put down another, I am sure you know at least one such person. It is because those who put down others can not left themselves up so they want to pull down others, hence they feel secure and better about themselves. Now have you seen someone that regardless of what you say and how you say it, they get hurt? This is because they have fragile ego as a child they were not given enough to work with emotionally. But we were all children at a time and we still are. Genuine praise, acknowledgement, rewards and positive attitude towards others will left everyone up, think about it, if you want to be the bigger person.

Interpersonal issues: Now if you have mastered the area of communication, I congratulate you, however I am going to be a little wild and guess that we do not always connect to people on an interpersonal level, that we do not get across to people and people have difficulty getting across to us, this leads to lost opportunity, miscommunication, and lack. Secret is people work and meet with those whom they feel comfortable with. How do you achieve comfort? By being genuine, interested and responsive.

Goals: Goals on the other hand are creating your future in advance. We like to have holistic approach to goals. We can not set a goal and forget about it, it is like forgetting about your kids' and family's future! Is that what you really want to do? Therefore it is the goals that inspire us to act and why not be inspired everyday and check with our goals daily. Now if we don't get inspired by our goals it means that we have impotent goals we have to go back and make sure that our goals are aligned with the person who we really want to be. If the person we really want to be is the person that we don't see in the mirror; now that is an inspiration to act now and change our course of actions, and re-evaluate our core values to realize what is it that we really want and why?. Once you answer this core value question you will be aligned with your goals and will take steps towards their attainment.

Leadership: There are no neutral leaders you are either a positive or a negative leader. Good leaders teach others to become leaders, bad leaders confine people to be follower, because they are insecure.

Vision: is seen the ability to see the invisible and make the invisible real. What we see as Visible is the result of actions, and actions are the epiphenomenon of our thoughts that are invisible. When you see through a vision to completion you break the barrier of time and space altogether and no great discovery has occurred without a great strength of a clear vision.

Values: Our credibility decides our profitability, we must develop values not because of profitability rather because we BELIEF in them. Regardless of people watching or not watching we do what is right regardless of how hard it may be.

Character vs Reputation: Reputation is a subjective inventory that others hold true for us. It may be real to the observer, however it may all be based on a faulty premise. We may have a good reputation, but that is a subjective reflection, more importantly an objective view of the person is his character. It is being honest not for the sake of being watched or to build a reputation, it is because we belief in real and true honesty. People with honest character they are honest for the right reason, people who just seek good reputation they may be honest only conditionally. It is the unconditional love and honesty and truth that inspires and generates great power. The world is in need of more character not just inflated persona.

Time: Have you heard of the people say time comes and goes, time flew, time is running out etc? These statements are nothing but furthest from the truth. The fact remains that time is an eternity it neither comes nor goes, it was here before we got here and will be here long after we are gone, it is neither flying nor running. Time is eternity, it stays only we come and go. Time is not a substrate of us we are a glimpse in the realm of eternity. Therefore we can not manage time we can only manage our destinations in relation to time.

Hence we need to plant the right seed for the season of our existence.

Thought = Actions = Habits = Character = Destiny

It is obvious that the campus of our destiny is our thought patterns. In the season of life you have only one job that is to sow the right seeds of thought in your mind.
