How to talk to anyone anytime anywhere for any reason!


How to talk to anyone anytime anywhere for any reason!


I must fair warn you that learning this skill may open the door to your future success beyond your wildest dreams; this skill may propel you mentally, physically, spiritually and socially. This one skill alone has built more millionaires, developed more great leaders, helped people to be more giving, solved major social problems and has help to feed the hungry. Not only that it has made more people more friends and helped people to have a richer fuller life. Learning this skill has built more marriages, raised better children, and made a difference in my life.



Ok so, I have learned this far in life that talking to people will ultimately lead to more success in life. Have you ever noticed that there seems to be some people that can just start a conversation with you and next thing you know you are talking to them as if they were your best friend? This is not a talent it is a skill; just as you learned to write and spell, you can learn to start a conversation.The questions is do you want to learn it? The thing is I don’t even think you care enough to learn it, but I will put it out, so you now have a choice:
1. Continue reading and have the life you wish or
2. Give up like so many others.

How to talk to anyone anytime anywhere for any reason!

1. Prepare your self to talk – tell your self that you are a great conversationalist and that you can talk to anyone no matter who, what, when, where, or why.
2. Pick one of the following things to start the conversation with: current events, current in the situation, current weather, current topic on peoples minds, current sports team or current holiday (there are many more these are just a few).
3. Put a smile on your face- strife and laughter can’t co-exist
4. Have a reason for the conversation- conversations must have a mission attached, friendship, friendliness, new job, or whatever
5. Start with saying hi - hello, how you are, what’s up, or whatever greeting you are used to using. The trick is to start saying it to everyone with a smile on your face. The ability to say hello to anyone, anytime, anywhere, for any reason is as important to being a good conversationalist as batting practice is to a baseball player.

Uncover the TRUTH in the Mission


Uncover the Truth in the Mission

What is the mission statement? How does it contribute to the organization? Why is it important to have a mission? One simple word answers all these questions: VISION!!!! With out vision an organization has absolutely no direction and with no direction no growth.

Like anything that is living (I do believe that organizations are a living creature) if it’s not growing its dieing and the mission is the blood of the organization. Each employee, volunteer, donor, board member, or client should have the mission running through their veins. The mission is what keeps the doors open in hard times and what contributes to the ultimate success of the organization.

A Non-profit with not mission has no reason for existing, and non-profit with a week mission has no reason for growth; a non-profit with a strong mission shows that strength through everything it does.

What is the TRUTH in a mission?

Territory
Reality
Utilitarian
Trustworthy
Heavenly

Territory – Where will we operate and what needs are we filling.
Reality- In reality are we helping
Utilitarian- Does our mission benefit more people than it hurts
Trustworthy- Is our mission believable in that people trust the organization to achieve
Heavenly- Is there a spiritual calling to the organizers of the mission statement

If you uncover the TRUTH in the mission your organization will bleed the mission and when in battle people will see if wounded what your team bleeds. Help, healing, higher achievement, and Hero’s come from bleeding TRUTH in your mission

What’s your mission?
