Self Discipline
Self-Discipline for Success
By: Brian Tracy
There is one special quality that you can develop that will guarantee you greater success, accomplishment and happiness in life. Of a thousand principles for success developed over the ages, this one quality or practice will do more to assure that you accomplish wonderful things with your life than anything else. This quality is so important that, if you don't develop it to a high degree, it is impossible for you to ever achieve what you are truly capable of achieving.
The quality that I am talking about is the quality of self-discipline. It is a habit, a practice, a philosophy and a way of living. All successful men and women are highly disciplined in the important work that they do. All unsuccessful men and women are undisciplined and unable to control their behaviors and their appetites. And when you develop the same levels of high, personal discipline possessed by the most successful people in our society, you will very soon begin to achieve the same results that they do.
All great success in life is preceded by long, sustained periods of focused effort on a single goal, the most important goal, with the determination to stay with it until it is complete. Throughout history, we find that every man or woman who achieved anything lasting and worthwhile, had engaged in long, often unappreciated hours, weeks, months and even years of concentrated, disciplined work, in a particular direction.
Fortunately the quality of self-discipline is something that you can learn by continuous practice, over and over, until you master it. Once you have mastered the ability to delay gratification, the ability to discipline yourself to keep your attention focused on the most important task in front of you, there is virtually no goal that you cannot accomplish and no task that you cannot complete.
Successful people engage in activities that are goal-achieving. Unsuccessful people engage in activities that are tension-reliving. Successful people discipline themselves to have dinner before dessert. Unsuccessful people prefer to have dessert most of the time.
Successful people plan their work, and work their plan. They take the time to think through their responsibilities before they begin. They make clear decisions which they then implement immediately. They get a lot more done in a shorter period of time than the average person. And it all has to do with their disciplines.
Perhaps the most important benefit of self-discipline is the personal benefit that you receive. Every act of self-discipline increases your self-esteem. It gives you a feeling of personal power and accomplishment. Each time you discipline yourself to persist in the face of distractions, diversions, and disappointments, you feel better about yourself. As you continue to discipline yourself, you achieve more and more in life. As you achieve more things, you feel more like a winner. Your self-confidence goes up. You feel happier about yourself. You get more done and you have more energy. You earn the respect and esteem of the people around you. You get more rapid promotions and are paid more money. You live in a nicer house, drive a nicer car, and wear nicer clothes. You get a natural high from the thrill of achievement. And the more things that you achieve as the result of employing your personal habits of effectiveness and productivity, the more eager you are to achieve even higher and better tasks. Your life gets onto an upward spiral of success and happiness. You feel great about yourself most of the time.
Every act of self-discipline strengthens every other discipline in your life. Every weakness of self-discipline weakens your other disciplines as well. When you make a habit of disciplining yourself in little things, like flossing your teeth every night, you'll soon become able to discipline yourself to accomplish even larger things, like working long, long hours to bring a major task to completion.
Your entire life is an on-going battle between the forces of doing what is right and necessary on the one hand and doing what is fun and easy on the other hand. It is a battle between the forces of discipline and the forces of ease or expediency. And when you develop the strength of character that gives you complete self-mastery, self-control and self-discipline, you feel wonderful about yourself. You develop a deep inner sense of strength and confidence. You replace positive thinking with positive knowing. You reach the point inside where you absolutely know that you can do whatever it takes to achieve any goal that you can set for yourself.
Self-discipline is its own reward. Not only does it pay off in terms of greater self-esteem and a more positive mental attitude, but it pays off throughout your life in terms of the goals that you achieve and the success that you attain in everything you do.
Self-discipline is a skill and a habit that can be learned by practice. Every time you practice a little self-discipline, you become stronger and stronger. Bit by bit, you become more capable of even greater disciplines. As you become a totally self-disciplined individual, your entire future opens up in front of you like a broad highway. Everything becomes possible for you and your future becomes unlimited.

Improve Your Interview Skills And Get That Job
There are four basic types of interviews that employers will use. Arrangement interviews are individual interview or arranged as a group. Individual interview on done on a one on one basis or you will have to face a panel.
Agenda interviews are interviews where there are no set questions or a set of questions that are a like.
Focus interviews may be disorganized where the employer may ask many hypothetical questions.
Some interview may behavioral; this is where the interviewer may focus on past accomplishments from you previous employers.
The interview might be skills based where the employer will test your objective skills.
The last interview process might be where you will have to go through many interviews. The first interview is establishing your qualifications for the job. The interviews that follow will challenge your fit with the company.
Many people will try to prepare for the job interview by preparing to answer questions they think an employer will ask them. There are too many questions to prepare for. A simpler way of handling this challenge is to focus on answering a number of questions that most employer will be concerned with. Employers will be concerned with how you answer these 10 questions.
Business Goals: They will want to know how you will help them increase sales, handle customer satisfaction, are you efficient and what is the quality of your work?
How do you handle Time Management and are you Reliable: They will be concerned with your punctuality, how you handle deadlines, how you prioritize tasks, and are you willing to work flexible hours?
Are you willing to Learn: How do you handle over coming your weaknesses, take criticism, and how well you learn on the job?
How do you handle Initiative: Are you willing to help co-workers, are you a problem solver and do you take initiative?
Are you a Team Player: How do you contribute to the team, show leadership, and help co-workers?
People Skills: Can you get alone with different people, how do you resolve conflict with co-workers and difficult customers?
How are your Communication Skills: How are your listening, speaking, writing and reading skills?
How is your Judgment: Do you try to avoid mistakes, do you work safe, and how do you come back when a mistake is made.
Do you have Integrity: Are you fair and unbiased, do you follow rules, and are you honest?
Technical Skills: Do you have the skills to do the job, how have you used those skills and what was the outcome.
If you focus on having good answers to these 10 category questions you should do very well.
When an interviewer asks you a question they will want to know how you will handle these 10 basic employer concerns. When you answer their questions tell the employer which of these 10 skills you used, what action did you took, and what was the positive result that occurred after you took action. The interviewer will want to know what positive result occurred from the action you took.
When answering your interviewer’s questions feed your answer back to the interviewer in a short story. Any answer that shows you handled these 10 business concerns and achieved a positive result will be a successful answer.
If an interviewer asked you how you handled a conflict with a co-worker. You might respond to the interviewer by saying. There was a time when my team leader acted harshly to one of our new hires. After the incident I pulled my team leader a side and informed him or her that I felt they should have asked the new hire for help instead of rudely telling the new hire what to do, they would probable get more help from them. The result was that my team leader became more aware of the way they interacted with others.
Think about these 10 business concerns and start thinking about how you handled a situation from your previous employer. A good acronym to remember when you respond to the interviewer is to utilize the Skill, Action, Result (SAR), technique. What skill did you use, what action did you take to handle the situation and what was the positive outcome or result that was accomplished?
Try to quantify your answers as much as possible. For example if the interviewer asks what you did to meet your previous employer’s goals. A good response might be I can remember a time when I helped the team exceed our goals when I discovered a better way of utilizing our software which helped us quote 12 new clients a month which resulted in $120,000 in additional premium.
To improve your interview skills focus on answering the 10 business concerns with stories that quantify your success in handling these 10 business concerns. Remember to use the Skill, Action, Result (SAR) technique. Doing this will improve your chances of getting the job.

T Harv Eker
What is your money blueprint? T. Harv Eker says everyone has a personal money blueprint ingrained in their subconscious minds that will determine their financial lives. "Have you ever wondered why some people seem to get rich easily, while others are destined for a life of financial struggle? Is the difference found in their education, intelligence, skills, timing, work habits, contacts, luck, or their choice of jobs, businesses or investments? The shocking answer is none of the above"1 T. Harv Eker says his obsession with becoming a success has to do with the fact that he had little to show for the the potential he has. He says he listened to all the tapes, read all the books, and went to all the seminars. This is a similar statement Anthony Robbins has made in his books and tapes. To be a success it must take reading books, listening to tapes, and investing in seminars to increase ones learning curve. To be a success one needs to do what successful people do. Wealthy people think the same way and take similar actions. By reading about them, studying and modeling them one can get the successful results. In T. Harv Ekers book "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind" he teaches what a money blueprint is. I would highly recommend the book it is a wealth of information.
