Engineer, Entrepreneur, Public Service, Doctor, Writer, Professional Speaker, Professional Athlete, Actor, Model, Musician, Professor, and add any profession(s) to your liking.

Is it within you?  Be and/or become any of the professions of your liking and you will be able to forward practical perform winning valued money doing so.  For example, you might work for a few minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, quarters, seasonally, or years doing one or any combination of the profession(s).

Your reply to “what do you do?” might be, “I’m an entrepreneur, engineer, professional speaker, writer, professional athlete, politician, doctor, actor, consultant, and coach.”  They might give you an uncertain look.  You reply, “I’m paid (valued money) doing each”.

Situational Mindset: Difference Between Better Outcomes, Performance, Production, Successes, Fun, Enjoyment, Celebration

A situational mindset is a skill you use to fully engage yourself in a process and culture. Whether one person, two, a group, or many stakeholders, there are diverse people with personalities, perspectives, agendas, pressures, and what’s important to them. Examples are: Your mom needs emergency surgery. Your situational mindset is serious and prayerful, the doctor reports she was able to remove all of the clot (your situational mindset is thankful), you visit your mom (your situational mindset is loving, positive and encouraging), your mom comes home (your situational mindset is helping her get better), during this time of recovery (your situational mindset varies from loving, serious, fun, funny, success, enjoyment, relief, prayerful, progress, frustration, stress, hope, caring, and sharing).

In your business, organization, and team you also encounter the above situational mindsets in a different context.
For clarity and preparedness let’s look at a process and culture for you to succeed:

Better Outcomes

Yes, you need to know what is your dream, vision, goal(s), mission, motivation, inspire yourself, and incentive(s).
So the dream is about how the fulfillment of better outcomes will enable you to dream more? Vision is the leadership and buy-in to get there, goal(s) are the milestones in your journey, and your mission is waking up daily to motivate and inspire your successes. Motivation is your fuel. Inspire yourself to consistently do better. Incentive(s) is everything expected and unexpected that goes along with pursuing your situational better outcomes mindset. What are your better outcomes? Capitalize on the learning.  It takes sharing inspiring authentic dialog.

How To Consistently Perform Better?

This essentially is “how do I consistently perform better?” You need to remove some things or habits and continue building and growing your mental performance skills. When on a team, ask “how do we consistently perform better”?

In an organization, ask “how does the organization consistently perform better?” For me, after completing the better outcomes section I constantly am looking for ways to consistently perform better. In this changing, diverse, and financially outdated system the forces of democracy, innovation and entrepreneurial vigor, and a spirited beacon of hope consistently creates a better life, better living, and better future. It’s a new way of thinking for some people. In a situational performance mindset more organizations, teams, and individuals need to spend more time in the situational performance mindset. The reason is illustrated in the next section. Yes, you want to earn more wins and more income. Now that’s established learn how to learn to consistently perform better and the more wins and more income come to you. You don’t need to chase it.

Do Your Best Production

Before management, people were working on their own to feed and clothe them self and their family. As the concept of management came into existence from Frederick Taylor to Peter Drucker management has learned their people, partnerships, and relationships are what makes the difference in their successes. The creative, innovative, and invention of technology, machines, and robots are handling things you no longer need to do. For example, agriculture has advanced, manufacturing plants are cleaner and less manual labor is being done, and mobility is delivering solutions when needed without delay.

More and more we are advancing from a situational production mindset to a situational performance mindset. Companies are realizing to succeed management doesn’t need to do all the situational performance mindset work while non-management does the situational production mindset work. It puts too much pressure on management’s situational performance mindset. Instead of fully engaging employees in the process and culture, it puts too much uncertainty on employees’ situational production mindset.

Successes, Fun, Enjoyment, and Celebration

The solution(s) which is implemented to varying degrees based on an inordinate number of criteria, wants, and needs are to fully engage your organization and personnel in better outcomes and situational performance mindset and spend less time in the situational production mindset. Then how does anything get done? “We are about doing you say.” Here’s how: You work on creating, innovating, inventing, and invest in the right service(s), product(s), technology, machines, and robots to develop and grow your business and clientele.

You invest in support services such as professional speaker(s), coach(es), consultant(s), and trainer(s) service(s) and product(s), who have a solution and then fully engage them to help you consistently perform better. In my speaking, coaching, and consulting, my clients need help in one or more of the four situational mindsets. Over the years having seen this need in companies of all sizes, different types of teams, and industries, I created, innovated, and invented to put together an intervention package. It consists of the Your Raise The Bar Primer: Mental Performance Tools workbook for your situational performance mindset, highly customized individual or team coaching, a customized team workshop, and performance consulting. From using my workbook you’ll realize not only how to accomplish your list, you’ll also realize how to put a lens on it for better outcomes. Currently, businesses and athletes are using it to make good progress. You don’t need to struggle, live in apathy, or suffer.

There are more successes, fun, enjoyment, and celebrations for you to partake in. When’s the next banquet, corporate party, convention, cookout, conference, cruise, or parade? It’s an endless fully engaging process and culture. I’m looking forward to seeing you more successful (practical forward mobility) as that’s my job and in my mission statement.

“Get The Gunk Out”: All Forms of Negativity

“You want something(s) that works or is working!” – Raj Gavurla

In talking with Jerry he told me his people work too much.  For some reason, people are equating the amount of time with better outcomes.  Of course, no one will accomplish anything professionally without putting in their time. However, do you maximize your better results with the time you put in?

In my work with clients, I discover one or more of the following three mental skills needing sprucing and honing:

1.  They aren’t rewarding themselves mentally.

2.  They are being too hard on themselves.

3.  They need to “get the gunk out” (get rid of all negativity)

They aren’t rewarding themselves mentally

You want a robust life, better living, and better future.  Yes, someone might think someone doesn’t want that that’s why they are where they are. Non-sense!  Since you are a robust being a combination of activities interact so you can shine brighter.  To reward yourself categorize them and after achieving them reward yourself with mental points.  It can be 1, 1,000, 5,000, 10,000 or any number for the accomplishment of each category. Only reward yourself with the points after it’s completed.  For example, your categories could be:

1.  Woke up looking forward to the day.  Attack the day. (1,000 points)

2.  Did my mental performance routine(s), stretching exercises, and ate breakfast with appreciation? (1,000 points)

3.  Got the kids ready. (1,000 points)

4.  Did work.  (1,000 points)

5.  Inspire yourself through the negative thoughts (1,000 points)

6.  Took a break (1,000 points)

7.  Ate lunch with appreciation (1,000 points)

8.  Did work (1,000 points)

9.  Went for a run (7 points (1 for each segment))

10.  Plan something to look forward to in the evening (0 points)

11. Took a tea break (1,000 points)

12. Ate dinner with appreciation (1,000 points)

13. Inspire yourself through the craving (1,000 points)

14. Something relaxing (talking with family) and fun (watching a game, reading, playing tennis or basketball) in the evening (1,000 points)

Remember to reward yourself with points after completing each category.  Then, add up the points.  If you aren’t hitting your target number then either you are doing too much as in Jerry’s case or too little.  Test it. Consistently do it for one week.  What do you think?  Win is in the fun!

They are being too hard on themselves

Yes, your children can make robust A’s, you can be more successful in your profession, and you’re able to win more tennis matches.  How do you plan to make a robust A by attending class and taking notes without reading the material?  Do you think by reading the material and at intervals asking yourself questions about the material so you can recall it and apply the learning makes sense?

In your profession, what are you doing to work on better interaction and communication skills, your presentation skills, better education (learn how to learn), better relationships, better results, participating in events to grow/build/develop for a better living, robust life, a better future, and better outcomes?  Without having a support system (family, friends, spiritual growth/building/development), support services (coach(es), mentor(s), advisor(s)) it’s almost impossible.  Look at any highly successful person.  They have a support system and support services/products. The good news is there are so many options available and it’s up to you to research the best one(s) for your situation.

They need to “get the gunk out” (get rid of all negativity)

For your higher performance, “get the gunk out”.  Stop trying to analyze your thoughts.  Just think, “get the gunk out”!  Then you can connect with patience to inspire your higher performance.  Test it!  When you think or say “get the gunk out”, a void needs to be filled.  It’s your job to fill it with anything inspiring for your higher performance (shine brighter). Listen to motivating and inspiring videos, attend events, read motivating and inspiring books, and stop uselessly browsing the web clogging your mind with useless information overload.  Only view, attend, read, and browse sites applicable to your situation.  You’re a star, shine brighter.

Entrepreneurial Leadership: Grow, Build, Develop (Money)

“Grow, build, and develop the right way.” – Raj Gavurla

In the following weeks, I will focus on delivering practical and pragmatic entrepreneurial leadership tools.  To receive these entrepreneurial leadership tools and much more you can invest in my manual Entrepreneurial Thinking Tools.

This week we’ll apply the entrepreneurial leadership learning to the importance of your money.

Entrepreneurial Leadership Tool #1:

Entrepreneurial Success =

(Time (1 or 0) + Work (1 or 0) + Money (1 or 0)) x Probability (1, .5, or 0) 

Money (1 or 0)

In 2017 where are you investing your money?  To maximize your money you want to invest in high-value services and products with ten times the return on investment (ROI).

Q1: Do your research and preparation show your suppliers service(s) and/or product(s) are of high value towards your objectives?

This focuses on the qualitative aspects of doing business.  For example, setting a record, a pilot, image, brand awareness,  and having more than one supplier so you’re more efficient and effective.

Q2: How do you determine there will be a ten times return on your investment?

This focuses on the quantitative aspects of doing business.  The robust investments/projects return ten times greater ROI upon completion of the investment/project.  If it makes sense to reinvest and/or add service(s) and product(s), then best to do so.  All others vary based on time period.  Work with your supplier to determine how to receive high value and ten times the ROI.

Think of three investments made in your business?

1.  Invested in a marketing campaign

Depending on if this is already a revenue producing service or product or if it is a pilot the same formula applies:

Investment = High Value and ten times the ROI

In a marketing campaign of high value is brand awareness.  Also, you need to determine the way to receive ten times the ROI.  The reason is because your project and business are unsustainable without it.

2.  Invested in technology

Of high value are increased capabilities, efficiency, ease of use, and status.  Also, you need to determine the way to receive ten times the ROI.  The reason is because your project and business are unsustainable without it.

Investment = High Value and ten times the ROI

3. Invested in education

Of high value are increased skillset, get a better job and new opportunities, and adding your skillset to another market.  Also, you need to determine the way to receive ten times the ROI.  The reason is because your education/learning and business are unsustainable without it.

Investment = High Value and ten times the ROI

4.  Think of three private investments made?

Examples are a house, car, healthcare, and the food you eat.  Of high value are shelter, safety, warmth, nutrition, and good health.  Also, you need to determine the way to receive ten times the ROI.  The reason is because your living is unsustainable without it.

Investment = High Value and ten times the ROI

I will cover funding (entrepreneurial fund (EF)) when I teach my second Entrepreneurial Success Tool.

Calculate your qualitative (high value) and quantitative (ROI) for each of the above.  Are you researching, is your preparation, and investments done with the right mindset?  Determine how high value delivers a ten times ROI for you.

Work (1 or 0)

In 2017 where are you investing your work?  To maximize work you want to do work that is meaningful, has value, and is important to you.  This includes work that has value in your business, professional association(s) member volunteer work, community volunteer and advocacy work, home project(s), and faith-based volunteer work.  To reiterate, it should be meaningful to you, has value, and is important to you.  This doesn’t mean it needs to be work your family or friends want to do.  It’s work you want to do.  In the Entrepreneurial Success Formula work has a value of “1” (has value to the company) or “0” (no value to the company).

“Don’t let someone who gave up on their dreams talk you out of going after yours.” – Zig Ziglar

Time (1 or 0)

In 2017 where are you investing your time?  You want to maximize your time.  This has the most value to you in living your great dreams, goals, vision, and mission.  The best way to maximize your time is to prepare.

Do you attend a meeting by preparing?  This is the number one reason one person does business with you versus with another person.

Do you schedule an in-person meeting when a meeting isn’t wanted?

Do you schedule a conference call when an in-person meeting is wanted?

Do you return a phone call or reply to an e-mail?

As a humanitarian and citizen, maximizing your time gives you the time to do community volunteer and advocacy work.

Put your criteria to determine the best approach for you and the other party.  Just because you or they want it doesn’t mean it’s the best approach.  Only, do what adds value for the both of you.  Next week, we’ll apply the entrepreneurial leadership learning to the importance of your work.  In the Entrepreneurial Success Formula time has a value of “1” (can be done in a timely manner/worth the time) or “0” (time prohibitive).
