Morning Motivator - The Best Advice

"I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite."
- G. K. Chesterton

Each and every day someone has "GREAT" advice for ways to improve your life and increase your business. Each is an EXPERT in how your life should be managed and what SUCCESS should be for you. It is this advice that we choose to IMPLEMENT or DISREGARD as we move forward making actions - positive and negative.

I, seemingly, am one of those people giving YOU advice. My intent is always to provide INSIGHT rather than PREACH about the ways you should run your life. My hope is that you offer the same STYLE of support to your colleagues, friends and family members when INTERJECTING your values and ideals upon them.

It is simple reality that we ARE influenced by others thoughts and options. It is their VISION of us that shapes our self worth, self confidence and overall self image. The TRUE test of your character is your capability to accept, diffuse and utilize the best aspects of the advice you are given over time. By increasing your awareness to dissect and analyze what people are SUGGESTING, you will be granted an ADVANTAGE over most others that simply take thoughts as "face value." Learn to LISTEN to what people really have to say and don't be afraid to ask for a clarification of GOOD ADVICE.

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
What makes for GOOD advice? First, it must be given with no intent of personal self gain. Secondly, you must provide some LOGIC behind the suggestive comment in order to create a level of legitimacy with that person. Finally, you MUST provide a first ACTION STEP so that the person is able to immediately implement the POSITIVE change in their daily life. As a note, YOU, as the provider of wisdom, must NOT become upset if the person chooses a different path than you have advised. It is NOT your life to live... and you don't know what all is influencing those decisions.

That's the best advice I have... now go do what YOU WANNA DO!

Cheers,
Zach
