No Such Thing As Luck

You create your own luck, plain and simple. I believe that what you think about - you create. If you think and believe you're lucky, you'll have good things happen. I've always believed that I am lucky in fact I say it all the time.And then I focus on all the good things in my life.

  

It would be just as easy to focus on all that is wrong and say how unlucky I am... then I'd just end up attracting and creating negative events in my life.   But why would you want to do that, why do that when you can enjoy good luck and have things work out for you.

You can be Lucky

You can be lucky if you want to be, and now even scientists agree...that you do create your own luck and it all starts with how you think and what you believe.  

Researchers followed 400 people between 18 and 84 for 10 years, hoping to find out why some people are lucky and others are not. What they found surprised them, here’s their conclusion;  

You create your own luck based on what you think about, what you focus on and how you see things, all of which you can change. 

Sounds like a simple process to me... yet millions of people choose to focus on everything that is going wrong and how unlucky they are. Then things get worse and they can't understand why

they're so unlucky.

Change your Thinking

Once you change the way you think and the way you see things you will begin to create your own good luck and good fortune. It's really that simple. 

Researchers also found that lucky people are lucky because they seize opportunities; they create positive beliefs about themselves, and turn negative events into positive situations by looking at what good things have developed, and how things could have been much worse. They always focus on the positive aspects. 

Instead of complaining, they're thankful for what happened and look at the positive side of the situation; they always see the glass as half full.  

If you're not doing any of the above then you may find that you have more "bad" luck than good luck.

 

How to start creating good luck

Begin attracting what you want. Train your mind and subconscious mind to be more positive and more optimistic. Direct your mind and subconscious mind to recognize opportunities and start to believe that you really are a lucky and fortunate person. Create a belief system that allows you to be lucky so that you have the life you want and more.

Lucky people have more opportunities than those who are unlucky because they try to find the silver lining or opportunity in every situation. Unlucky people miss opportunities because they're too busy looking for something else, or complaining, they are not open to possibilities and feel they have to do things a certain way.  

Try a different approach

Lucky people also change their approach they are prepared to try different things and are willing to take a chance.   Unlucky people are habitual and insist on things being a certain way, and that they know better and that they're always right.  

You can go from unlucky to being lucky - and here's how;

  

A group of unlucky people were asked to try doing things differently. Amazingly 80 percent of those who changed the way they did things.

• They decided to focus on the good fortune rather than the bad fortune

• They changed the way they thought about things, they became more positive and open minded.

• They ended up being happier and more satisfied with their lives.

• They started to have good luck and had good things happen for them.  

A few simple changes leads to a better life and you can go from having bad luck to good luck! 

Ready to change your luck

You can now break free from those negative habits and create new habits that allow you to enjoy life, succeed and have good things happen.

Train your mind and subconscious mind to start working for you by getting those great powers to move you in a new, positive and lucky direction. Start creating your own good luck today.

Remember if you don't do anything, if you don't change the way your mind works and direct your subconscious mind to create the life you want, everything will stay the same  and nothing changes.

This is your life - make the most of it - begin working with the power of your mind and subconscious mind to create the life you really want.

Powerful Tips To Win Negotiations

Negotiating is the process of attempting to agree on a solution. Compromising or settling on a mutually agreeable solution, is the result of successful negotiations. Compromise is all about being flexible. It means being able to generate alternative solutions when you've "hit a brick wall." Whether it involves a person you can't get along with, an idea you know will work but that others are reluctant to embrace, a change in office systems or a turf war that needs ending, learning to negotiate and compromise is essential to your success.

Develop A Winning Attitude

Your attitude is essential to the outcome you want. You improve your chance of achieving a mutually rewarding solution if you approach the negotiation as an opportunity to learn and achieve an all-win outcome.

Meet on Mutual Ground

Find a mutually agreeable and convenient physical space to meet that is comfortable for all involved. Agree on when you will meet and how much time is available to devote to the process. Whenever possible, deal with negotiations face-to-face. Be careful about negotiating over the phone or in e-mail. A lack of facial expressions, and other cues can result in a negotiation breakdown.


Clearly Define and Agree

Agree on a statement of the issue using simple and factual terms. If the situation is multifaceted, search for ways to slice the large issue into smaller chunks and deal with one issue at a time. Repeating if necessary to ensure each has the correct facts.

Do your Homework

Take time to plan. You must not only know what is at stake for yourself, but you need to know the other side's concerns and motivation. Take into consideration any history or past situations that might affect the negotiations. Know the must-haves (non-negotiable items) and nice-to-haves (negotiable items). Determine the best resolution, a fair and reasonable compromise and a minimally acceptable deal.

Take an Honest Approach

Determine your level of trust in the other person and the process. Be conscious of aspects of your personality that can help or hinder the process. Remember everyone likes to win.

Look for Common Goals to Achieve

Get on the same side by finding and establishing similarities. Since conflict tends to magnify perceived differences and minimise similarities, look for common goals, objectives or even gripes that can illustrate that you are in this together. Focus on the future, talk about what needs to be done and tackle the problem jointly.

Deal with Facts

Address problems, not emotions or personalities. Avoid any tendency to attack the other person or to pass judgment on his or her ideas and opinions. Avoid focusing on the past or blaming the other person. Maintain a rational, goal-oriented frame of mind. This will depersonalise the conflict, separate the issues from the people involved and avoid defensiveness.

Be Honest

Don't play games. Be honest and clear about what is important to you and communicate why your goals, issues and objectives are important to you and your business.

Wow them

Create options and alternatives that demonstrate your willingness to compromise. Consider conceding in areas that might have high value to the other person but are not that important to you. Frame options in terms of the other person's interests and provide evidence for your point of view. Give your customer more than they expect to receive.

Be an Expert Communicator

Nothing shows determination to find a mutually satisfactory resolution to conflict more than applying excellent communication skills. Ask questions, listen, repeat and rephrase what you heard from them, to check for understanding and take a genuine interest in the other side's concerns. Reduce any tension through humour, let others vent their concerns and acknowledge their views. Focus less on your position and more on ways in which you can move towards a resolution or compromise.

End on a Good Note

Make an all-win proposal and check to make sure that everyone involved leaves the situation feeling they have won. Shake on it and agree on the action steps: who is responsible for each step, how success will be measured and how and when the decision will be evaluated. Be open to accepting an impasse for noncritical issues; agree to disagree.

Enjoy the Process

Look at the benefits of learning other people's point of view. People report that after overcoming conflict and reaching an agreement, the relationship grew even stronger. Reflect and learn from each negotiation you enter into.
