CHANGE IS COMING . . .Be prepared or LEARNING HOW TO PLAY WITH OTHERS

By Barry Sarner

Afraid to go for it? Think your dream is way over your head? You think you don't have the resources to be successful? Think you can't make a difference in the world? Think again!

The first three essential ingredients needed to take along on your quest for success in your professional or personal life is : SUPPORT, SUPPORT and more SUPPORT.

You need one or more supporters who will be there for you when you get to that critical point where the pain exceeds the passion and you just can't move forward.You need people who care about you and people who are willing to take the time to understand you and the way you're wired.

Opportunity does not make house calls. You need to get out and meet people. Join network groups. Volunteer. Risk yourself a little bit.Go out and meet people and see what you can do for them.

"Giving people a little more than they expect is a good way to get back more than you'd expect." -- Robert Half

If you're out and about and showing people that you're genuine and that you care about them they'll share their knowledge, different perspectives, degrees of maturity, diverse experiences and wisdom with you.

Here is a list of what you need for support:

1-You need people around you who will tell you like it is.
You must toughen up and be able to deal with their reality not yours. What is "real" to you is affected by your habits and thoughts. Right now you need honesty and a new perspective.

Listen to them...don't debate them...and then ask questions.

why do you feel that way? How can I change my situation? How would you do it? Do you know where I can get help and support? These are a few questions to ask.These questions will help you understand where that person is coming from and if his/her opinions are really useful or not. If you have a specific topic contact me and we could work on more questions.

2-You need people around you with more experience than you have.
I have over 30 years of big time experience building offline businesses and only a few months on the internet. My coach and mentor for the internet is a very successful, well known internet Entrepreneur by the name of Trent Brownrigg. He's 29 years old and I'm 58. Don't get stuck on someone’s age. More experience than you have is more experience than you have.

3-You need people around you who are smarter than you.

You want to get bigger and better? This is the only way.

4-You need people who are "creative".

I don't mean Artists or Writers . . .You want people with great imaginations, street smarts and a lot of moxie.People who will grab you by the scruff of the neck and say "C'mon let's do it" or "Hey you could do this, this and this"

5-You need people who have "BEEN THERE and DONE THAT.
Overall . . .You need people who "get it"

Finding the right people will take time. Next month is coming whether you do something or not. So why not start now and help yourself. Who knows? By next month you could be on your way to building a powerful success support network or You may get lucky and find one or two people who have all of the above.

To Expedite .....Where do you get to meet and develop relationships with some of these special people as soon as possible?

The Good News? One of my best friends and a huge supporter is NAPOLEAN HILL.... Yup, That's right. He's Dead.

Your support, encouragement, and motivation does not all have to come from a Live Person.

Of course, there is nothing better than the real thing but Books, Articles,forums, Blogs and Websites could be and should be a huge source of nourishment.

You can make friends with and have access to some of the brightest minds and the most successful people the world has ever known.

They should always be part of your mastermind group no matter how many live supporters you have.

To find great works: "Google" should be high on your list of tools that you use to develop your round table.....Play with words. For example: success support, mastermind groups, hope, persistence, books on success ETC. ETC. ETC. Spend a day in Barnes and Noble. Check out ezinearticles.com and other article sites.

Get moving today. Change is coming no matter what you do. One of the most important tools to have in working with and understanding the CHANGES that are coming your way is a success support network.
