Why A Snail Could Be The Key To Your Success.

Ninnian took her place on centre stage and took a deep breathe to calm any nerves before she smiled and said “Today I want to talk to you about something that inspires me…..I want to talk about Snails”

Now, I’ve heard a fair few motivational or inspirational speeches in my time but never have I heard anyone say their success was inspired by a snail.

But as this young student, who was competing in the Midlands Speaker of The Year competition,  began to explain it all made sense.

Here is what she shared :

7 Ingredients For Your Own Popeye Like Spinach.

17th June 2015 by VParmar Leave a Comment

When I was a kid one of my favourite cartoon characters was Popeye The Sailor Man.

The premise of each episode was simple. Popeye and his girlfriend Olive would be going on with their lives when Brutus (the bully in story) would try and muscle his way in an effort to steal Olive away.

Brutus was big, burly and stronger than Popeye. He would set out all kinds of tricks and traps to catch Popeye out.

Popeye would fight back with great energy, spirit and determination against everything Brutus threw at him but there would come a point when it just became too much and Popeye would find himself stuck, trapped and facing defeat.

Then, in that moment of seeming defeat, Popeye would dig deep and declare “That’s all I can stands, and I can’t stands no more!” 

Popeye reach for his can of Spinach, the source of his super strength, and instantly would be transformed with a surge of power. He’d break his way out of the trap he was in, beat Brutus and send him away with his tail between his legs.

But What has Popeye The Sailorman got to do with you?

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.

Enjoy.

I’m motivated but how do I get my team there?

Teamwork-1

“I’m motivated but how do I get my team there?”

This was a question I was asked by a business owner following a meeting.

Many of my blogs have looked at personal motivation where I’ve stressed the importance of finding leverage and knowing your ‘why’, but when you are trying to motivate others it’s a little bit different.

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.

Having remortgaged their house, dipped into their pension funds and even had to borrow from their two young daughters, they were up to their ears in debt.

Rhinoceros Success

11th February 2015 by VParmar 3 Comments

Who-are-you-a-cow-or-a-rhino-waiternomics-martin-fischer

“Are you a cow or are you a Rhino?” fellow speaker and massive goals expert David Hyner asked.

He was talking about the comparison that Scott Alexander makes in his book titled Rhinoceros Success.

I’ll be honest I’ve never read it and I was surprised to learn that David’s research of top achievers revealed that this was the book that most appeared on their ‘influential’ books list.

The author of  Rhinoceros Success, Scott Alexander, declares that there are two kinds of people in the world – those who are like ‘Rhinos’ and those who are ‘Cows’

What’s the difference you ask?

Cows go with the herd and surround themselves with others just like them so that they can blend in.

Cows fulfil their basic tasks by eating, sleeping and producing milk as life passes them by.

For a cow everyday is like groundhog day, it’s the same monotonous routine day in and day out.

Cows do have dreams and wishes but the fear of breaking away from the safety of the heard and possible failure keeps them rooted to the spot.

Rhinos on the other hand are strong animals who are thick skinned and not worried by what others think or say.

Rhinos don’t have dreams or wishes, they simply decide what they wants and then charge toward it, not stopping until they get it.

A Rhino forges its own path and never follows “the herd.”

So what does all this have to do you with?
I’m not saying that everyone should be a Rhino nor am I saying that you shouldn’t be a cow.
What I am saying is if you want to really achieve significant meaningful goals in your life, then you have to be more like a Rhino.

Here are 5 simple principles for living more like a Rhino.

Stop Wishing On A Star.

Instead of wishing things were different make a decision to do something about it. Turn that wish into a goal by moving from a thought in your mind to a goal committed to paper.

Boom Shake The Room

Take that goal and turn it into a compelling vision statement that makes you feel so excited and pumped that you cannot wait to get up every morning inspired to take action.

Likes Are For Facebook.

Forget having everyone love you. When you choose to take on a different path from the heard, some won’t like it, some will love it and some may even join you in a Jerry McGuire sty-lee.

Drop The Assumptive Close.

When you say to yourself something like “I’m not good enough”, how do you know?

Too many people quit before they’ve even started because they’ve made assumptions about themselves and end up closing off any progress.

Stop it! Give it a try first. You will be amazed at what you are actually capable of doing.

The Elephant In The Room.

To get to where they want Elephants will trample over what is in their path whereas Rhinos charge towards it warning whatever is in the way that it is coming.

Yes, be committed to the charge and take action but at the sometime you must be careful not to trample on others to get what you want.

So it’s over to you. Are you a cow or a rhino?

This post was inspired by the work of David Hyner FPSA and Director of Stretch Development.
