I just found out that Mark Joyner is holding a live "Prep School" for Would-Be Best-Selling Authors on February 26th @ 8pm EST. If you are seriously interested in writing a best seller book either now or later, you'll need to lock in your seat now because seats are limited:

Are Your Words CONGRUENT with Your Body??
Experts say nonverbal communication have more influence than spoken words.
Positive Body Language
Why? Because most Listeners TRUST and RESPOND better to Positive Nonverbal Communication vs. ONLY Positive Verbal Communication. It's simply much much louder!
Here's an example: If someone said "I love you" while yelling, frowning, looking miserable, their arms folded across their chest and they are standing partially turned away from you.
Would you feel their love? NO WAY...Because the non verbal communication together with the tonality of yelling is not congruent with the 'words' being expressed. And guess what? Those words 'I love you' don't mean much in such a context.
Studies have found Communications is divided into 3 groups:
- Body language accounts for 55% of all given communication,
- Paralanguage accounts for 38% (which includes: sighs, pauses and intonation)
- Verbal communication provides a mere 7% of the emphasis (actual words) .
Positive Body Language
- Strong, firm handshake conveys ~ Confidence and Secure Self-Esteem
- Eye contact conveys ~ Openness with Honesty
- Leaning forward with eye contact & hand gestures conveys ~ Sincerity, Confidence, Inquisitiveness.
- Nodding conveys ~ Your Approval
- Natural tone, volume, pitch and pace of voice conveys ~ Security with Confidence
- Hands behind your head with feet on desk conveys ~Confidence or Authority
- Relaxed upright posture with arms swinging naturally while walking conveys ~ Confidence!
- Varying facial expressions to match what is being said i.e., smiling when being friendly or serious when being firm, etc. conveys ~ Openness with Secure Self-esteem!
- Leaning back and looking down conveys ~ Lack of confidence, Unapproachable
- Limp, weak handshake conveys ~ Nervousness
- Leaning in too close conveys ~ being threatening
- Weak, soft voice conveys ~ Nervousness
- Clearing throat, saying "um", "uh," conveys ~ Insecurity with nervousness
- Dropping head and looking down conveys ~ non-trustworthiness
- Staring at the other person during silences causes ~ Increased Tension
- Maintaining eye contact too long (over 7-10 seconds) causes ~ Anxiety or Discomfort
- Rigid, stooped posture, feet shuffling conveys ~ Lack of Confidence
- Folded arms, crossed legs, picking lint off clothing conveys ~ Disagreement or lack of interest.
- Touching your Face conveys ~ Nervousness or Dishonesty
- Drumming finger or twiddling thumbs conveys ~ Anxiety or not paying Attention
- Clenching/wringing hands, playing with jewelry conveys ~ Anxiety, Stress and Nervousness
- Rubbing the back of neck or the hair conveys ~ Frustration
- Sitting on the edge of chair, jiggling foot all convey ~ Anxiety Stress and Nervousness.
Why? Because most Listeners TRUST and RESPOND better to Positive Nonverbal Communication vs. ONLY Positive Verbal Communication. It's simply much much louder!

3 TIPS for Handling Mistakes...
"Using Your Mistakes to Springboard to Success" -- Adapted From “Success for Dummies”By Zig Ziglar
Each of us at one time or another has thought about how wonderful it would be to have as much foresight as hindsight. Then we could avoid making mistakes! Not only is that hope unrealistic, it’s also unwise. Mistakes are often the springboard for major accomplishments.
Here’s a good example:
Thomas Edison was working with a lab assistant who was coming up dry after over 700 experiments. In discouragement, the assistant told Edison that after all these mistakes, errors, and false starts, he simply didn’t believe that the project was valid. Edison quickly told him that he wasn’t wasting his time and that the assistant now knew more about the project than anybody alive.
Edison wisely observed that the assistant hadn't made mistakes but instead had acquired an education as to what didn’t work. Needless to say, the assistant went back to his project with renewed vigor. If you take Edison’s approach to life, you end up accomplishing much, much more. You need to understand that after every mistake you can look back and grow from the experience so that you can move forward with confidence and avoid making the same mistake again.
Here are three tips for handling a mistake, either at home or work:
1. Don’t let a mistake depress or discourage you. See a mistake as a step on the road to a solution. Realize that depression and discouragement are negatives that limit the future.
2. Admit the mistake. Yes, admitting your mistakes takes courage, but recognition of errors is a sign of maturity. Not to recognize them is to deny them, and denial limits your future.
3. Understand that when you confront your mistakes, you can take full advantage of them as the positive experiences they can be.When you ignore mistakes or try to conceal them, they almost always have a negative impact.
*** Adapted from “Success For Dummies” by Zig Ziglar.

YOUR QUESTION: How to ENERGIZE & be PRODUCTIVE!
ARTICLE: Balance Your Workload With a Generous Number of Mini-Vacations for Maximum Productivity ~ By Denis Waitley
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By re-energizing and renewing yourself frequently, you will avoid burnout and become much more motivated and productive. Don't keep your nose to the grindstone for years and wait for retirement to travel. Balance and consistency are the keys. Enjoy the process, not just the result. Don't fight the passing of time. Don't fear it, squander it, or try to hide from it under a superficial cosmetic veil of fads and indulgences. Life and time go together. Do enjoy each phase of life. Do make the most of each day, and draw maximum joy from each moment.
Many people today are concerned with quality time - time generally defined in part as that spent on recreation, personal pursuits, time with children, spouses and friends. While I certainly believe quality time is important, I believe two other aspects of time are equally important.
First, one must also spend quantity time. The average father spends less than 30 minutes each week in direct one-on-one communication with each of his children. How can we possibly expect good family relationships with so little communication?
Second, one must spend regular time. Many supervisors and company presidents go for weeks, even months, without seeing many of their employees. There's no substitute for regular meetings and open forums in which managers and team members can share ideas.
Time has a dual structure. On one hand, we live our daily routines meeting present contingencies as they arise. On the other hand, our most ambitious goals and desires need time so that they can be assembled and cemented. A long-term goal connects pieces of time into one block. These blocks can be imagined and projected into the future as we do when we set goals for ourselves. Or, these blocks of time can be created in retrospect as we do when we look back at what we've accomplished.
It's not in the image of our big dreams that we run the risk of losing our focus and motivation. It's the drudgery and routine of our daily lives that present the greatest danger to our hopes for achievement. Good time management means that you maximize the daily return on the energy and mental effort you expend.
Ways to maximize your time productivity:
1) Write down in one place all the important contacts you have and all of your goals and priorities. Make a back up copy, preferably on CD, DVD or Zip disc. Write down every commitment you make at the time you make it.
2) Stop wasting the first hour of your workday. Having the chat and first cup of coffee, reading the paper, and socializing are the three costliest opening exercises that lower productivity.
3) Do one thing well at a time. It takes time to start and stop work on each activity. Stay with a task until it is completed.
4) Don't open unimportant mail. More than a fourth of the mail you receive can be tossed before you open or read it, and that includes e-mail.
5) Handle each piece of paper only once and never more than twice. Don't set aside anything without taking action. Carry work, reading material, audiotapes and your laptop computer with you everywhere you go. Convert down time into uplink time.
6) Spend twenty minutes at the beginning of each week and ten minutes at the beginning of each day planning your to do list.
7) Set aside personal relaxation time during the day. Don't work during lunch. It's neither noble nor nutritional to skip important energy input and stress-relieving time. Throughout the day, ask yourself, "What's the best use of my time right now?" As the day grows short, focus on projects you can least afford to leave undone.
8) And as we said at the beginning of this message, take vacations often, mini-vacations of two or three days, and leave your work at home. The harder you work, the more you need to balance your exercise and leisure time.
Action Idea: Plan a relaxing 3-day vacation within the next three months without taking any business work with you. Reserve it on your calendar this week.

Whether your referrals became clients or not, your name was definitely included in the draw today.
As promised, announcing this year's winner of the 3-month coaching package valued at $900.
Drum roll please......
A special congratulations to:
Jenifer Merifield, Editor of www.gcdamagazine.com
I'm delighted you won and looking forward
to working with you this quarter.
Most of you don't know but I'm also the Dear Diary for this National Teenage Magazine. If you have a preteen or teenage daughter, this magazine is full of personal growth, money advice, organization, guidance and inspiration for your young lady...and even if you have teenage boys, amazingly they love to read "real girls perspectives". There is also a section providing the perspective of teenage boys too. My 14-yrs old son enjoys reading every issue. Welcome! SPEED of IMPLEMENTATION
Thanks for visiting!
I'm still new at this and though I may not know all the ins and outs - I'm still taking ACTION. WHY?
Do your part everyday to get clearer and clearer of your vision?
Out of sight; out of mind for most people, so one way to accomplish clarity is to actually spend 15 minutes every day using the Daily Target Praxis in your WebCockpit.
Discipline yourself to ACT inspite of your MOOD in order to have the RESULTS that you want.
Catch yourself when your mind questions "am I worthy of achieving my goals i.e., $10K a month?"
Better yet, ask yourself "Are my goals worthy of my time?"
Your Coach,
Nada
