ACCELERATING FOR SUCCESS
Have you accomplished all that you wanted to achieve this year? If yes, celebrate your success but if reverse is the case don't be discouraged you can still reach some of them in this last quarter to end the year. Your amazing goal for this year could be to own your home, having impressive bank account, driving the best of cars, winning awards and trophies, shaking hands with your head of state, becoming the CEO of a great company and many more. Whatever is your dream this year, you can make it possible, impossibility is a thing of the mind and it does not exist!
Embrace the philosophy of possibility thinking which says whatever you can conceive you can achieve. You must allow your mind to conceive it for a long period that consciously and unconsciously you believe in its possibility. Imaging yourself achieving it and do not allow any circumstances to imprint doubt in your mind because it is in the mind the battles of life are won and lost. When you win this battle in you mind you shall see the birth of your dream before the year comes to an end. Our present reality is a product of our past imagination. Use the power of imagination to create a great reality for yourself and family before the year comes to an end. If you want to be happy on Christmas day and on the eve of new year practice this simple principle.
Jesus said'' With God all things are possible.'' As a child of God possibility is your nature which you need to activate to produce the desired result as the year is running to an end.
At Student magazine, we expressed our opposition to the Vietnam War and the Cold War; these days, governments now face the more nebulous threat of terrorism and instability in the Middle East and Africa. Back then, American and European markets were generally stable; today, the economic power of Western nations is being challenged by the fast-growing economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China, and growth opportunities and new markets can be found around the world.
There is also marketers’ new ability to bypass traditional channels -- TV, radio and newspapers -- and build a strong following online for their companies via Twitter, Google+, Facebook and new applications such as Path and Klout. This means that most startups are able to launch with smaller marketing budgets, and that entrepreneurs can break into new markets fast. It also means that successful companies must defend their positions, because their products can go out of fashion just as quickly as they caught on.
But during the radio interview I found myself arguing that while the world may be changing quickly, the steps to building a good business have not. The five simple guidelines we followed when we started the magazine and then Virgin Music remain as valid and useful as they were in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
1. If you don’t enjoy it, don’t do it. You must love what you do.
2. Be innovative: Create something different that will stand out.
3. Your employees are your best asset. Happy employees make for happy customers.
4. Lead by listening: Get feedback from your staff and customers on a regular basis.
5. Be visible: Market the company and its offers by putting yourself or a senior person in front of the cameras.
If you have the right idea and execute properly, your startup’s launch date does not matter. While the business environment has changed, the basic rules remain the same. Rather than getting nostalgic about how things used to be, embrace the new opportunities and challenges available to you now.
