Executive Health & Wealth Institute Blog Archive for the ‘Executive Wealth’ CategoryDo you remember the good or do you remember the bad?
How about you? Do you always start off by criticizing what you see, hear or experience or do you seek for a balanced analysis? And, in the end, do you tend to remember what did not work or do you try to remember what you really enjoyed from relationships, experiences and life in general? May I pick your brain?A couple of weeks ago, a woman approached me and said: “I love your work, I’d like to invite you to lunch and pick your brain. You know so much about this and that…” I let her go on with her list but, had she read my body language, she would have realized I was not amused. I have been in this situation many times. Do you use this line with colleagues or even strangers? How does this feel to you when others say this to you? It is obviously flattering to some whereas others may feel like the cannibals are out to get them. Why?
Do you focus on achieving one goal at a time or do you try to reach many goals at the same time?
This has been the theme of the week.
An entrepreneur started a new venture and was concerned when things didn’t go as well as he expected. Although he had a great idea, he didn’t build the foundation to support the project, almost giving up before he had really started. Do you work through strengths or through weaknesses?Do you work through strengths or through weaknesses? Years ago I was chatting with a more senior executive in Corporate America. I mentioned my love of medicine and its integration with business and my dislike of the more tedious financial reports. She immediately said I should focus on developing skills in the accounting and financial aspects of my work, leaving aside my forte as I shouldn’t focus on my strengths but on my weaknesses, she said.

These are some topics we’ll discuss: Friday, January 22nd, 2010: Getting Things Done in Business - Book and bonus gifts upon your sign-up.
TIME: Friday, January 22nd, from 9:00 AM - 12:00 AM ADDRESS: 8101 Biscayne Boulevard, Suite 516, Miami, FL 33138 What are your WINS OF THE YEAR?Are you looking into your New Year’s Resolution? How about first listing your Wins of this past year? Many people look ahead and have trouble enjoying the fruits present in their here and now. While it’s important to have vision in terms of “what next?” it is also important to know exactly where you stand. Most people with a deep sense of JOY take a minute to appreciate their blessings prior to jumping on to the next venture. Think, meditate, enjoy all your achievements of today as they will serve as a foundation for your successes of tomorrow. Have you ever felt like you have a unique product..?Have you ever felt like you have a unique product and when you openly tell others about it they immediately start copying your ideas and then you feel like you stay behind? Someone just asked me this question. This person is not alone. It happens all the time. Being a young researcher at the National Institutes of Health I first worked with an amazing group, an empire of clinical research conducting cutting edge studies with the ultimate sophisticated equipment, internet databases and amazing ideas. I found many in the group to be quite reserved and not sharing much information with the outside world until everything was pretty much “cooked and done.” Instead, when I went to work with another smaller group, our approach was of being very open and create joint venture partnerships with other groups that complemented what we had to offer. Bottom line: Share everything about your service and product when you are ready to launch: your product is in good shape, you have created a great strategy, your team is in unison with a unique message and you are ready to share your product with the world. On the other end, if you want to be open about your product or service and it is just an idea, share it with someone you truly trust and seek for the joint venture opportunity. Pitch your idea but don’t go into all the details until you have secured the partnership. The stronger the product or service you create, the stronger the strategic, marketing and sales plan you design, the stronger your platform against any potential competition will be. If you position your product on top, the rest will try to copy it but you will have a competitive advantage because you have done it first. Subjective Wellbeing: Life SatisfactionForbes recently published The World’s Happiest Places. Denmark followed by Finland and the Netherlands rated at the top of the list. While economic health defined as high gross domestic product per capita and low unemployment rates were common factors in people experiencing well-being, other countries that were in the top ten did not match this trait. Instead, other lifestyle characteristics prompted people to feel satisfied with their lives. Although there are nature-related factors that impact on our ability to experience happiness and joy, a favorable environment with people who enjoy their lives will prompt others to have a positive experience.
