Do you have the character to succeed?

Business in today's economy is about more than just technology, venture capitol and IPOS. It's also about CHARACTER.

+ How big are your dreams?

+ Are you really prepared to fail?

+ How hard are you willing to work?

The profiles that follow are character studies of what it takes to make your impact in a world that's being reshaped by the power of new ideas. Ask yourself. DO I PASS THE TEST.

YOUR FIRST CHARACTER TEST Ask yourself this question. Do you have what it takes to peruse a goal of any real magnitude? Big enough to excite everyone you encounter. Think your idea over until you can state the purpose in one simple sentence. That's how you become a magnet to circumstances and individuals to
accelerate your journey to your goal.

YOUR SECOND CHARACTER TEST. Ask yourself this question? Do I have the courage to develop a specific plan of
action? Am I willing to pay an enormous amount of attention to the creation of a plan that will gear every otherwise random events in my
life into a systematic pattern that will support my primary goal. A plan that will create a controlled distribution of daily tasks and stick to my plan.

YOUR THIRD CHARACTER TEST Ask yourself this question Do I have the kind of belief in my vision that demands a leap forward, without fear and without fail. J.P. Morgan is reported to have said, " Millionaires work hard, but billionaires become successful because they are willing to take a leap of faith.

YOUR FOURTH CHARACTER TEST. Ask yourself this question. What is the purpose of my conversations? And am I willing to develop specific language and purposeful conversation directed to a predetermined outcome that fully supports my ambitions.
It won't be easy. It will take discipline and CHARACTER.

Oscar Bruce in his book Winning Words Winnings ways tell us that " Your conversation tells the world who you are. Each conversation is stamped with the brand of class that reveals your class and your CHARACTER."

Futurist, Rolf Jensen, director of the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies. "We are in the twilight of a society based on personal communication skills. Society will place new value on the language of persuasion."

In a study which polled top executives in fifty-eight of America's largest companies, every single executive named communications skills as the major factor in their advancement.

Most of the action in which people engage - in business ,in marriage- in parenting - are carried out through conversation. But many people speak without intent. They simply say whatever comes to mind. They give little or no thought about the content, purpose or objective. They speak out of habit, not purpose.

Therefore the real test of character is for you will be this question. - Are you willing to upgrade your conversation skills to a level that will support your goals and ambitions. If the answer is yes the following questions will help.

+Do I approach every conversation as a selling opportunity?

+Are my conversation goal achieving or tension relieving?

+Are my conversations directed to a pre-determined outcome?

+Do I express myself with precision and accuracy?

+Do I leave people wondering about my intent.

+Does my language create chaos or clarity?

+Are my conversations interesting, colorful and distinctive?

HOW TO AHEAD AND STAY AHEAD

When in the past you found yourself in situations outside your control it's because you
ran out of conversation before you made your point or won the argument. You verbal
ammunition fell short. Or when someone spouts insults at you it's only a matter of
just the right phrase to come out on top without creating an upset or making you look
bad. It is now, always been and will be in the future a matter of knowing just what to
say and how to say it to be the victor and get your way with people.
