What Are Your Daily Standards?

12th May 2015 by VParmar Leave a Comment

In previous blogs and posts on various media channels, I’ve shared my belief that our daily standards and habits are the key to achieving your goals. From my own experience, it was raising my own personal standards and not setting lofty goals that has enabled me to transform my health and wellbeing, enjoying greater success in my business and have a happier family life.

My belief in daily standards was inspired by my friend Derek Mills, best selling author of the 10 Second Philosophy, International Speaker and the ‘go-to-guy’ on daily standards.

I asked Derek to share some of his ideas and thoughts on standards with my tribe, here it is…and it is epic.

Why You Are Just Like An Onion

“I’ve been listening to Tony Robbins everyday for last few months to get me fired up in the morning ready for work. Lately thought, I’ve found it’s not having the same impact anymore. What’s wrong?”

That’s a question which came out of a coaching session last week.

If you’ve heard of Tony Robbins you’ll know he is a pretty awesome guy.

In fact it was his Personal Power 2 audio programme which really helped me to turn a corner in my life and he continues to inspire much of my work today.

But why had Tony’s words stopped working for my client?

Well, it’s because my client is like an onion. In fact we all are.

Let me explain.

Remember….You’re Great

In 2013, having helped London based football club Crystal Palace secure promotion to the English Premier League, Wilfred Zaha was set to start the next chapter of his career with a dream move to one of the biggest football clubs in the world – Manchester United.

It should have been the stuff of fairytales but it turned out to be anything but that. He struggled to make it into the first team and the dream quickly became a nightmare.

He doubted his ability and felt worthless.

2 years on and back at Crystal Palace he has managed to revitalise his career and is back in some of the best form of his life.

So what changed? What was the secret?

Save My Bakery!

Last night I was channel surfing and I caught a show called “Save My Bakery”

In this episode a bakery that had been in one family for over 4 generations was facing the reality that they may have to close their doors forever.

The owners were up the creek without so much as a paddle.

How To Gain Perspective

I don’t watch a lot of TV but recently I caught a repeat of Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen nightmares – love or loathe him, he is certainly entertaining!

In this particular episode, a young lady called Tatiana had bought herself a restaurant or rather she had persuaded her mom and sister to put their homes and pensions on the line to fund her dream of being a restaurant owner.

Yes, you do have a brand! Even if you are not a business.

A couple of weeks back a friend and I were sat in Urban Coffee in the centre of Birmingham (it’s a really cool place!) having a healthy debate…well, it was probably more of an argument.

“I don’t have a brand…I am not in business like you!” he declared

He was wrong.

HE IS A BRAND. [Read more…] about Yes, you do have a brand! Even if you are not a business.
