Beware of Hypocrites and Jealous People

If you won the lottery today, would you change? I bet yourfirst response is, "No!" Well, think again. Even if youdon't intend to, there are jealous people in your circleright now who will force you to change. And believe me,some of them are your so-called friends.

Forget about the lottery for a moment. Did you know thatpeople can be jealous of you just because you dress nicely,because you are ambitious, because you got a promotion,because you do your job well, or even because your beamingsmile makes you popular? I can see some heads nodding "yes."

So, be aware there are some jealous people in your circle.Some are obvious, and others fake it well. Another thingyou might want to consider is that there are people whowill cheer you up as long you are at their level. Themoment you start climbing the ladder of success, whether itbe financially or professionally, they start resenting you.

Am I saying money will change you? Not really. But it doeschange the way others see you. And that, my friend, willcause you to not be yourself.

Let me explain...

Once your status changes, some of your friends will becomesensitive to what you say. You will inevitably andharmlessly ruffle some feathers by your comments. You mightnaively say to a friend, "Why didn't you get a car withleather seats? I don't like cloth seats."

Well, your friend might process your innocent comment andsay something like this, "now that she has money, shedoesn't like cloth seats. She makes me sick!" Before youknow it, someone starts spreading the word and smearingyour name. But what's so hurtful about it is that theynever repeat exactly what you said. I guarantee you...theywill stretch it and say it with a totally different spin.

I am telling you, jealous people are sick. They are playerhaters. And many of them are fakers (oops! Another Fword!). In your face, they kiss you all over. But once youwalk away, the back stabbing starts. That causes you tostart watching what you say. As a result, you are not yournatural self anymore.

Do you see how it's possible you might change if you wonthe lottery? Yep, hypocrites and jealous people can have adevastating effect on you.

Here are 5 strategies to help deal with them effectively: click to here

Are You Really Serious About Success?

Well, don't tell me how bad you want to succeed. I think it's much better to tell yourself. I don't mean to be tough. This is not what this is about. But too many of us are living a lie...An illusion. We talk too much about it!

Success is not an event. It's the culmination of many events. If you think about it, inertia is the enemy of success. When I say event, I am talking about doing something to make it happen. Now you don't have to move a mountain to create an event. Although sometimes you might have to do so.

Have you ever met people who just can't keep their mouth shut when they around you? They will tell you everything they are going to do. I mean, if you are going to do something to better your life, just do it. Then talk about it later.

Why go around and tell others if you are not going to do it. You see what I mean? First, we have to develop the discipline to take consistent action--even when it's inconvenient. Yes, it make be a little painful now. But the rewards are great. Plus others will respect you for doing what they have been thinking about.

Always keep in mind that regrets are more painful than discipline. I encourage you to start now, not later. Do something regardless of how small it may be.

Maybe what you really need is a kick or a push to help you go from inertia to action. You may need something to inspire and touch you a the cellular level. Thousands wrote to let me know how my book No Condition is Permanent has changed their lives. Click on this link for more info about the book Success Story.

I chat with you later. Yes, you can!

On My Way to Chicago For Another Motivational Keynote

I'm on my way to the airport to catch a flight to Chicago. This month has been very busy for me. But I'm not complaining. I am doing what I love. It's my passion. I am impacting lives!

Unless you have read my book No Condition is Permanent, you would not understand why I am so excited about what I do. I am the child who grew up in extreme poverty in a tiny and impoverished Haitian village. Many of the people in the village had given up hope that I would survive.

I made it! And life is wonderful in America. I'm traveling the country keynoting conferences for fortune 500 companies. This is awesome! I want to encourage you to stay the course. Yes, it may be hard but it's possible. Stay with it and one day you will feel the same way I feel. Trust me, it wasn't all that easy for me. But I stayed with it.

When I get back from Chicago, I will be sharing the reactions I get from my audience. Meanwhile, keep your eyes on the prize!

Shame On Jealous People

Mitshuca is a dazzling teenager with a sparkling smile that any toothpaste company would envy. She has an earthy and effervescent personality. She is the essence of femininity. Simply put, she is a masterpiece! But there is one problem. Many of her schoolmates are jealous of her beauty. How sad! Is Mitshuca better than they are? No!!!!

History is replete with people who were short, tall, ugly, and even disabled, who shattered the ceiling of doubts and limitations to change the world for the better. You see, it’s not what’s on you that is important, it’s what’s in you! Being attractive is not a rite of passage.

It doesn't guarantee us anything in life. Jealousy is a symptom of a severe case of low self-esteem, and it’s a disease that can eat us alive. That's why jealous people are often angry.

We all, at some point, suffer from low self-esteem. However, disliking another because of what he or she has is almost like living life at the level of the beast.

Perhaps you wonder why I feel so strongly about this issue. I promise you, I am not a victim. I just feel sorry for those who are dealing with jealous people such as friends or family members. Mitshuca can’t change a thing about her beauty.

She can only keep in mind that her good looks don’t mean that she is better than anybody else and strive to be humble instead of pompous or arrogant. That’s all she can do. Besides, the real beauty is that which is inside.

There are unattractive people who radiate and glow in the presence of others because of their positive and upbeat attitude. On the other hand, there are some very attractive people whom we can't stand being around because of their attitude.

My friend, jealous people are distractive by nature. You can't let them distract you. No person can take away what God has in store for you. Keep knocking on doors in spite of what others may say about you.

As you strive to reach your maximum potential, you are bound to meet many jealous people. Please be compassionate to them. They are sick and they need help. Try instead to boost their self-esteem by stroking their egos.

I wish you incredible success!

Keynote Speech for Ohio Pupil Transportation

This morning I keynoted a conference in Columbus Ohio for the Ohio Pupil Transportation. It was really very rewarding for me and certain the audience got a lot out of it. Besides the standing ovation, the hugs and accolades, I walk away with a revelation that I will never forget.

I was hired by a woman through a Speakers Bureau to keynote the conference. The woman's name is Sharon. Sharon introduced me. But you should be very mindful of what I'm about to share with you now. I was amazed and dumbfounded. To say the least, I was not prepared for happened to me.

Sharon went to the podium with my introduction. The moment she started reading the first sentence, she broke in the tears. From that point on, she kept crying and barely got through the introduction. I stood in the back of the room speechless and I was supposed to be the keynote speaker.

Up to that point, I was wondering why she was crying. Then she paused and said, "I knew she was going to be able to read the introduction without crying. This man changed my life three years ago."

She had seen me speak at the Oprah Land Hotel. And what I said resonated so well with her that she took immediate action to change her life. Now, this is not to brag about myself. It is rather to make this point...

With words we can change the world. Remember this: In the beginning was the word. We have to carefully choose what we say. Sometimes we may not be aware of the impact we are making on others. And part of the reason is because the impact is slow.

At the time when Sharon heard me, I was making a point in my speech about how some of the people in my tiny and impoverished village in Haiti used to tease me. Because I was so sick and deprived as a child, most of the people didn’t think I was going to survive. I remember I was six years old and I was fanning flies off my face and hardly breathing. A man came by to see the lady I was staying with.

The man told her that she was wasting her time me. And that I was not going to make it. Well, he was dead wrong. That was his prediction. God had a better plan. You see, there are people out there who will do or say anything to make you feel little about yourself. They will kiss you all over when you are around them. Then once you turn your back they begin to stab you.

I am sure you know some of those people. I am telling you, don’t let them get the best of you. Their predictions about you are out of pure jealousy. Do NOT internalize what they are saying about you. Besides, those people who don’t believe you are going to make it have never been there in the first place. Chances are if they have walked the path before, they would never try to discourage you.

Alright, that’s just a small segment of my entire speech. I covered many other points. In my book No Condition is Permanent (the title of the speech), I go into more details about how to create your own success.

How To Get Others To Remember You For A Lifetime

Have you ever met people who were so mean that you hated being around them? I bet if I ask you to think of people who really made you feel good in the past, you would immediately come up with some names.

Well, if I ask you to remember people who have hurt your feeling in the past, you'd be just as fast to come up with some names. I bet it woul be even easier for you to remember those people.

My question to you is this: Do you know why you can remember thoses names? It's because ten years from now, others will not remember what you said or did. But they WILL remember how you made them feel. We instinctively remember feelings.

Our feelings are very fragile and important to us. Unfortunately, there are those out there who feel good by making others feel bad. So, I'm challenging you to get into the habit of making others feel.

If you want to be memorable or be a part of someone's life forever, make them feel good. If you want it to be the other way around, it's your choice.

Quit Doing Things Right…Instead Do The Right Things

I am going to challenge you today to get into the habit of doing what brings results. It is crazy how we log on the internet and in a matter of a few minutes, we are lost. The very best thing to do is to turn off your email, instant messenger and browser while you are working on an important task.

There are many activities that we engage in that don't bring any results. But for whatever reason, we just can’t stay away. If you are a small business owner, there are hundreds of tasks calling for your attention. But to be successful, you don’t have to focus on all those tasks at once. Your focus should always be on three things at a time. It’s easy to get distracted and start engaging in trivial activities. Don’t let that be you.

Here’s how you can become a very highly productive individual:

Take a sheet of paper and draw a line in the middle. On the left side put “things to start doing” as a heading. And on the right side put “things to stop doing.”

Write down your daily activities and challenge yourself to stop doing the things that are not critical to your success. In order to save money and increase revenue, accountants practice zero base thinking. Whenever something is not critical to the company’s success, they get rid of it. You too should get into the habit of eliminating annoying tasks. It’s you may enjoy doing those tasks. But do they bring in revenue? Are they helping you to produce results?

And finally, go through your day thinking that at the end of the day you will have to tell an imaginary board of your corporation what you did to bring revenue to the company. Trust me, with that kind of attitude, you will achieve more in one month than an entire year.

Go ahead start putting this strategy into practice. It’s not about doing things right; it’s rather about doing the right things. I wish you incredible success!
