Loral Langemeier says, Lead your Life as though it’s a Business

All it takes is ACTION!

Very often I end up meeting people who are unsatisfied with their lives or are distressed because they couldn’t live up to their expectations. They are the people who have lost all their hopes and drag on with their lives having compromised their dreams.

On being asked about what efforts they did make to have a life they desired, they would say any one of the following:

1. Admitted they gave up.
2. Didn’t have a well devised plan of action.
3. Set impractical and unattainable goals, tried to achieve them out of sequence and continued to pursue their dreams irrespective of the fact that it was wearing them out.

Are you from the same lot? I’ve met people falling into category #3. I can put myself in their shoes and feel how disheartening it is when you want something badly and you fail even after trying over and over again. But over the years I’ve realized what exactly it takes to shape your life: by being the CEO of your life! Personally it has enabled me to lead my life perfectly, reaching all the goals I set for myself. No matter how distant they appeared at first, I was never worried.

OPTIMISM. When you become a leader of your life, there’s no one to blame or credit for any sort of consequences. The first step in controlling your life begins with overcoming any kind of fear that you have. It is a must to eliminate any kind of fear that has hindered your actions in past. It involves developing an optimistic approach towards your goals which will fill you with enthusiasm and energy.

Positive thinking is a great asset for life; I’ve using it all my life. However, this alone cannot guarantee you success.

DAILY ACTION. To turn reality into success, it’s essential to take your positive attitude, and turn it into action. And that action should be implemented right from the first day and every day.

TEAM SUPPORT. It doesn’t mean that you have to work round the clock and compromise on other aspects of life. You must understand that your goal cannot be achieved all on your own. Since you are to be the CEO, the leader of your life, you have to build a team of efficient people around you. It could be your spouse, your kids, your friends, anyone who can help you accomplish your goal through their dedication, experience and the field they excel in.

The combination of all three: optimism, daily actions and team support will turn out to be the best help you can give yourself in order to achieve your dream.

 

I really admire people who are dedicated to their dreams and goals, but if you aspire for an impractical goal, you are likely to fall short of reaching it. It’s like that old story of Icarus,who had wax wings and aspired to touch the Sun. His wings fell off and he fell into the sea. You, thus, have to be prepared for your flight and pursue a feasible goal. Break down your goal into tiny steps and implement actions to them every day to create a concrete staircase to your final goal.

People normally see their goal way out into the future which makes it appear like a mammoth task. However, if they break that goal into tiny manageable goals, the achievement of each one will fill them will zeal to take the following step or another mini-goal.

Everyone is different. Because of this, each individual’s idea of action will be different. Where some will take a slow, steady approach, others will sprint toward the goal line in full force.  You can take action as methodically or quickly as you like, as long as you approach your goals in a manner that best suits YOUR character.  Be yourself and you will be the best CEO of your life ever!

Loral Langemeier Discusses Lessons Learned from a Great Fall

Sometimes great falls and fiascos are the best resource for business lessons. These examples end up in the list of ‘precautionary measures’ as something that’s NOT TO BE FOLLOWED under any circumstances. However, whether or not these lesson providers or the ‘fallen businesses’ (pun intended!) learn from their own mistakes, they provide their rivals a reason to smile and an excellent lesson for others. It’s said that one learns from his own mistakes, but in this competitive world one prospers from others’ mistakes!
So, today’s treasured epitome of an “inspiring” blunder is none other than the Borders Book Store! Wake up and smell the coffee! There was a cultural shift while you were sleeping, Borders.
Back in 2003, Borders Book Store had more than 1,200 stores. Now they’re closing even the remaining 399 and the net effect is nearly 11,000 employees losing their jobs. What went so wrong?
Is it another casualty of the Internet era? Not exclusively.
Business is business.
Borders hasn’t made a profit in five years. The last time Borders made a profit was 2006. Its yearly income dropped by $1 billion over the next four years.
Borders began with used rare books in a two room flat after it was founded in 1971. Later, in 1975 it bought out the entire stock of Wahr’s, an 80-year-old bookstore that was ending its business. Borders was best known, in the early days, for their awe-inspiring collection of books and wonderful atmosphere.  Their gigantic inventory was possible because the superstores on average were 25,000 square feet of prime real estate. Costly.
But, that’s what people loved. It was a great place to browse books, relax, drink coffee and squeeze in a nice little break. Oh, and buy books and magazines. (Buying actually became an afterthought with most customers. It’s the experience they went there for, primarily.)
As a result, the Border group sank into heavy debt. To keep the business afloat, the company borrowed $42.5m USD in March 2008 from Pershing Square Capital Management, the company’s major stock holder. This further ended in dropping Border’s share by 28.6% to $5.07/share. Share price continued to drop until it reached the $0.53 level on January 28, 2009.
However, a group of execs high up on the corporate ladder made the decision to clear out sections of books to make room for DVDs and CDs.  Then they cleared away even more area to make room for “PaperChase” (i.e. product line of stationary supplies). Later they closed all of their DVD and CD departments across the board. And very soon much of its senior staff left the company abandoning the sinking ship.
There were a lot of poor decisions, all on the executive level. No input from the stores was accepted and the employees were instead encouraged to leave (some had been with the company for around 20 years. Not smart!).
Did Borders forget how to be a bookstore? Indeed!
They took their eyes off the ball. They stopped focusing on what their customers wanted and instead focused on expanding – seemingly for the sake of expansion. It all made little sense. They treated the Internet like it was a passing fancy and tech toys (like digital readers) as though they were pocket protectors. Were they ever wrong!
Borders failed because they:
•    Ignored the massive move to digital formats in books, video and music
•    Dismissed the power of the Internet and its massive target market
•    Were too late to market with their e-reader  (Barnes and Noble didn’t wait so long)
•    Outsourced their online store to super competitor, Amazon.com
•    Had revolving door management problems
•    Missed the mark with Borders Rewards campaign (frustrating their customers further)
•    Kept replacing their staff too frequently.
•    Tried out different branch businesses including self publication which didn’t turn out well.
Borders is doing one thing right today. They are convincing everyone that the world has changed and so has business.
Barnes and Noble seems to have survived, but they may very well be next. Super book stores may be a dying breed giving in to the smaller, more adaptable, independent shops. In these town and country book shops, the owners have a real love of books, work in the store themselves, and hire friendly, knowledgeable employees that cater to their customers on a level you just can’t get in superstores.
Mass production is old and mass individualization is new (again).
Many people will miss Borders and you’ll read tweets and comments saying just that. One certain comment expresses the demise of this book store: I will miss Borders, more for the fact that it is the only real book store in my city than for the store itself. I do agree that they took their eye off of what made them successful. Walking into Borders used to be about the books, but our local store pushed the books to the back of the store in recent years to make way for music and movies and stationary and toys and games, etc. It was a struggle to find what I was looking for most of the time because the employees knew next to nothing about books, but could tell you where every DVD in the store was located and when it was released.
It certainly hurts when a book shop shuts down but we will keep buying books, print and digital. The business of books is not dead, it’s just changed.

Loral Langemeier Talks About Changing the Conversation

The New Year comes with many surprises and a lot of excitement. Now is a good time to cast a retrospective view on your previous year and to speculate about the goodies coming along in the year ahead. But when you think about the New Year, you think about New Year resolutions. As soon as you’ve wished your friend a Happy New Year, you go right on to ask, “So, what’s your new year looking like?” And people go on sharing different resolutions ranging from low hanging fruits to Herculean labours. Of course for some lazy bums, it would be to complete their last years’ resolutions or even those from previous decades. Hah!

I understand, resolutions are as delicate as bubbles. And you say that everyone breaks their resolutions, so what’s the big deal about that?!  Well, it’s a counterproductive term because it already comes with a mindset that says it’s alright to fail.  “There’s always next year.” But your dreams, visions and success can’t wait until next year!  You need to change the conversation, and your mindset, to assure that you achieve everything (and more) you set out to do. What you need to do is stop setting OUT to do things, and instead start setting RESULTS!

Here are a few ways you can change the conversation this year and tread on a newer resolution likely to be accomplished:

Your Actions – If you have read my bestselling book “The Millionaire Maker,” you will understand how taking actions as if your result is already achieved can enable that result.  Go to the bank in person and meet the President.  Surround yourself with successful, positive, people. Every action you take leads you closer and closer to the results you desire.

Self-Talk – Sometimes you can be your own worst enemy. Your pessimism can keep you from achieving success. It’s true! It’s important to be optimistic. Positive self-talk will build you up from the inside out and give you a life-affirming way to make your results a reality.  Try starting out every morning by turning on your favorite music. Tell yourself how energized you feel (VERY) and set actions for the day. Then head out there and make the magic you know you are capable of creating! Working on those tiny bits of a resolution everyday will fill you with zeal for its accomplishment.

The Way You Speak to Others – It’s all about taking every single step with head held high. The Yes! Energy equation begins with changing the conversation. This means you need to project yourself as successful to be successful. It’s in the way you take care of yourself. It’s in your elevator pitch and the way you tell people what you do. It’s in how you network. It’s time to step out with confidence when engaging others!

In the coming days, I’ll be blogging more about changing the conversation – how to do it, examples of successful people in the world who are doing it and how it will lead to success in 2012 for you! And soon you’ll have plenty of things to share in your success stories.

Loral Langemeier Describes The ‘Big Table’ Concept

Most of us can remember holiday meals with the family that contained a “Big Table” for adults and a “Little Table” for the kids. The adults sat around the main big table in the dining room where there were always more people than could fit, so the kids were asked to sit at the smaller table – often in another room. While you probably enjoyed the meal and the company of the little table, you still know you were missing something special by not being at the big table. From out in the other room, you couldn’t hear the main conversation or all the interesting topics that the “grown-ups” were discussing. You felt like you were the last to know what everyone was talking about, last for seconds and clearly the last for dessert.

Did you ever have a strong desire to sit at that Big Table and be a part of those conversations.Consider that thought your motivation!

I am inviting you to claim your seat at the Loral Langemeier Millionaire Maker Big Table. The people who sit at this table are having the meaningful, business changing conversations that YOU want to be a part of. The Loral Langemeier coaching staff has coached thousands of people who still live life day to day as if they are still sitting at the little table. I challenge you to stop asking permission to live your life and come sit at the Big Table. I challenge you to step up to the Loral Langemeier Millionaire Maker Big Table today!

Loral Langemeier Millionaire Maker program reveals the power of saying NO

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a marionette? For many of us there’s no need to wonder we feel like it every day.  We let the world play puppeteer and manipulate us for far too long. And the essence of our individuality is being lost as a result.It is high time we turn the tables and say “No! From now on I’m going to control where I’m going to goor what I’m going to do.”

The Loral Langemeier Millionaire Maker program teaches that permitting the outside world to control you is never a good idea. There is a sequence, an endless cycle we get caught up in. Kind of like a test you take in grade school that evaluates your performance and labels you. The truth is that the report card is just an assessment of you at one point in time. It actually has no bearing on who you are and what you are capable of doing in the long run. It’s simply not an effective tool to test your mettle.

In fact, it’s this kind o fassessment that thrusts us into a ruinous cycle: we let the assessment direct our thinking, let that thinking ignite our feelings, and let our feelings cause our actions. This starts out as little kids with report cards but eventually we graduate. The report card becomes the balance sheet, the sales sheet, the X-rays, the bank account, and we are always letting present results control the way we view the future. No wonder we end up in a self destructive cycle.

In the Loral Langemeier Millionaire Maker program, one of the issues we deal with is how to block out the negative outside world and focus on improvement and moving forward. The Loral Langemeier coaching staff helps you re-train your thought processes so you can say “no” to outside influences in order to move past the mental road blocks and towards freedom and success.

Clear intention is the power to direct your life and your business without compromising your vision.

Aiming for Revenue? Let Loral Langemeier Show You the Right Approach

Revenue is a crucial component of business. It’s the revenue that drives your business and enables you to grow or expand it. It also helps you assess your business, showing you how you have performed over a particular period of time. Every entrepreneur aims to earn revenue high enough that expenses are consistently surpassed, creating a solid bottom line. But not everyone succeeds. If your strategies do not produce revenue then you are simply wasting your time. As harsh as that may seem, it is the absolute bottom line. The purpose of business is to make a profit and if you’re not doing that, you’re not running a business.

To keep your business always growing and successful you must focus on your revenue mechanism. One of the key elements of your revenue mechanism is to have separate accounts for personal and business purposes. Loral Langemeier recommends that your expenses shouldn’t bepaid out of your personal funds. After you have separated the two kinds of expenses, you must design a strategy in order to target your expected revenue. In the Loral Langemeier Millionaire Maker program you’ll become acquainted with the rest of the tips to manage your revenue mechanism.

Though it’s important to make a profit, it’s also important to do it the right way. In the quest for profit you must not forget that your business should also represent your own self-fulfillment and satisfaction. If you’re pleased with what you’re doing, it’ll reflect in your business and your business will be a success. You must also make your business a benefit for the society and its people. This will be a feel-good factor for you and in the long run, will give greater meaning to your profitability.

The Loral Langemeier Millionaire Maker program will help you structure your revenue mechanism for obtaining maximum profit. The Loral Langemeier coaching staff will assess your business keeping all three factors in mind: your personal interests, your desire to contribute to the community, and your profitable bottom line. The knowledge of the staff is an extensive resource for information that will help you in improving your bottom line.
