Me First Or Others First? Sightings of Affectionately Called “Endless” Being Reported

“Know what you need, want, and have.” – Raj Gavurla

“Endless” addressed the thought on “me first” or “others first”.  He said it is “win fun teams first” (yes, plural). You’re on several win fun teams.  You might think it’s only me there is no one else.  Then, look at your environment. Those inanimate things, nature, and animals are on your win fun team.  And assuming you know one other person in this world you might need and want to recruit them to form another win fun team.  However, “Endless” is aware you are involved with an infinite number of win fun teams.  Your family is a win fun team, faith and/or belief system is a win team, doctor(s), nurses, friends, teachers, speakers, authors, innovators, entrepreneurs, nurses, coaches, mentors, job (your on several win teams, i.e. individual positive relationships, your department, designated win fun teams, business unit, organization/company), sports, community service, advocacy, groups, leadership, independence, you get the idea).

Yes, you are on win fun team humanity.

So, you might have heard the “me first” example of being on the airplane and the oxygen mask falls.  Do you put it on you first or the other person.  You first so you can help others live better.  Then, you might have heard the example of “do for others first”.  So, you might think someone will do for you since you do for others.  I hope so.

So “Endless” says, “win fun teams first”. Whoever does first for the other depends on the situation.  Does it make sense? Take time to find meaning in this to you.

Do the thing you think you cannot do. – Eleanor Roosevelt

Can The Win Come To You Without Being Completely “In The Zone”?

usopen

“Make the decision to become the world’s best.  It will serve you well.” – Raj Gavurla

As an athlete regardless of your sport there are times when you aren’t completely “in the zone”, however parts of your game are.

What worked for Roger was him being “in the zone” serving the ball. Being “in the zone” in all areas is best but being “in the zone” in just one area a player is still hard to beat.

Tiafoe is real and when he learns to hit his approach shot with more skill and volley by blocking the ball he will win more and might win a grand slam. Excellent athleticism, very good serve and forehand, solid backhand. Needs to work on consistently transforming his mental performance skills as all players do because that’s what separates the world’s best from other athletes.

Do Your Best, Then Better Your Best

“Socioeconomic capital flow and capital distribution for the wealthy, middle-class, and poor solves prosperity, poverty, and gentrification  for individuals to live a robust life.”  – Raj Gavurla

goals

How do you better your best?  You’re mentally prepared so why the inaction to exercise, make a call, and achieve your goal.  You are procrastinating.  I understand some things are mentally tiring and you know where that is most likely to happen.  You have a threshold and you are afraid to break away from it because of the insecurity it causes you.

Since you are always learning, you need to learn what to know about this threshold experience that’s causing insecurity.  When you assess it to deliver by bettering your best with strategy, build a relationship with it, market it in your mind, and evaluate after each effort you are changing the reality of the situation in your mind.

You learned to use solipsism to do your best and with effort you bettered your best.  Continue doing so, forward performing, and you’ll far exceed what you imagine success is because of your achievements, the meaningful process, and the right people who came into your life that you had never met before.

Prevent and Cure Clients, Employees, and Athletes Burnout

“Transform your business with meaningful performance and innovation/entrepreneurial leadership.” – Raj Gavurla 

 globe hands

Meaningful Forward Performance Motivation and Inspiration

Win your personal best records and as one constantly does their best consistently they will continue to learn to perform better at what they are doing. On a given day it might be you won a meaningful award and money. It’s this essential aspiration to learn how to win personal best records to perform better at what you are doing that makes what you do meaningful, fun, rewarding, and enjoyable. One will never maximize this if they only work on performance technique. They also need to work on their mental performance skills to transform their performance and innovation/entrepreneurial leadership in business/education, work, sports, and life.

Creative Innovation Tools

You are doing the above and there is still burnout.  Why?  Because you aren’t innovating to win personal best records since the innovation(s) you have need to continue to develop, build, grow, and/or become what makes you unique and different.  There are creative innovation tools to help your neuroplasticity mind.  Some say we use one percent to ten percent of our mind’s ability.  So that means there’s ninety percent not being used.  I posit there is an “endless amount not being used” since you have a neuroplasticity brain.

Entrepreneurial Leadership

So now that you understand this concept and are using creative innovation tools why still the burnout?  Because entrepreneurial leadership isn’t being exhibited in a meaningful financial (monetize) way because the financial mechanisms (funding and resources), reward mechanisms, incentive mechanisms, and partnering mechanisms were at one time the best, however, now they also need creative innovation(s).

Three questions to transform your business:

1.  Are you using your current strategies and innovations to win personal best records?

2.  Does your team have an innovation process to create innovation(s)?  This isn’t just for individuals in management.

3.  Why don’t you work on innovating your business with unique and different entrepreneurial leadership for meaningful better outcomes creating financial mechanisms (funding and resources), reward mechanisms, incentive mechanisms, and partnering mechanisms for forward performance?

Learn how to learn and apply the learning to continue going through living a robust life.  It’s meaningful, fun, rewarding, and enjoyable.  It’s important to include fun business outings and activities/sports/games on company time for social/networking with each other to get to know each other.  Why?  Because it makes it easier to transform your business with performance and innovation/entrepreneurial leadership.

This prevents and cures clients, employees, and athletes burnout for meaningful better outcomes.  You have gifts, talents, and skills.  Develop, build, grow them and discover new gifts, talents, and skills to develop, build, and grow making you unique and different.  It’s Friday.  What are you looking forward to experiencing this weekend with your family and friends?

 Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears. – Les Brown

You Are Gifted, Talented, and Skilled

“Gladly believe in your dreams to win paid better outcomes (personal best records).”

– Raj Gavurla

time to believe

Gladly Believe In Your Dreams

Yes, you! Gladly performance motivation and inspiration not self-esteem.  You have gifts, talents, and skills you are not aware of because they haven’t been needed.  Since your gladly doing the right things, your new gifts, talents, and skills surface.   When this happens you increase your situational awareness and better outcomes in all aspects of life.

Win Paid Better Outcomes (Personal Best Records)

Win by establishing your baseline performance.  Then use strategies to win your personal best record.  As you do so you are being paid.  Your pay might not be monetary (you set a personal best record) and then the monetary pay comes to you.  You don’t need to chase it.

This is the essence of life.  It is what separates your best from status quo, existing, and apathy.

Thank Yourself and Ask Permission

“Thank yourself and ask permission.” – Raj Gavurla

Happy 4th of July!

4th of july

We need to create better opportunity. There are so many people who are limiting themself or someone is doing it to them. I don’t know what you are going through. I do know by working on doing better at what you aspire to you will be able to apply this approach to all aspects of your life.

You are better than you think and by preparing, listening, learning how to do better with professional coaching and advice, living a quality life, tracking and measuring your accomplishments, and evaluating your next step consistently you’ll easily see the good, fun, and enjoyment.

The key is “consistently” aspire to do better. An example is you had a great success at work or are winning more. It feels great! However, it goes away and unless you consistently schedule time and strategize to do better you’ll realize great success and winning more will elude you. Why? Because by “consistently” scheduling time, effort, strategy, and evaluation you’ll train your mind to accomplish things you didn’t imagine of.

It takes a highly customized approach and solution because you are unique, different, and in leadership. So, don’t count yourself out because of thinking “I’m not gifted”, I’m not talented”, “I’m not skilled”.  Learn how to do better at what you aspire to do and your time will come when you are the best on a given day.

Seeing how injuries affect people whether or not they are athletes, it’s imperative you learn how to stretch and realize which stretches to use when. It’s the aches and pains that cause mental breakdown. With quality support service(s) in all aspects of life you are very capable of a better life.

This 4th of July share this with someone so you realize we are in a world where you are not alone. Be honest and share your situation with the right people. Better opportunities come to you when you do so. Before I exercise since that’s not my job, I ask my mom for permission.

Why? Because it’s innovative and gives her authority and pleasure instead of her thinking what is my son doing.  I do it over the phone or in person.  Sometime she asks questions.  Who are you exercising with? Friends.  When will you be done? Two to four hours.  Who do you ask permission of before doing something consistently that’s not your job? It makes my exercise time a better experience.

This July 4th think of all the people including you who are making this a magnificent celebration of what our forefathers wrote in the constitution and “we the people” have worked on to create a place for you and everyone to belong living their dreams, goals, and aspirations. Don’t quit on life. Go forward. You are very deserving! Thank yourself.
