Attending the Business Blueprint Conference in Sydney opened my mind to fresh ideas in various areas of running a successful business.
Amid the conference buzz, I absorbed wisdom that beautifully combined smart business insights with innovative thinking and strategies driven by purpose.
Influence is fundamentally tied to how you make people feel, enabling you to transform the lives of those around you.
Assess the type of influence you possess on a scale of 1 to 10, as the world welcomes individuals who positively impact others’ lives, particularly purpose-driven families within a specific demographic.
Nelson Mandela once highlighted that true bravery isn’t the absence of fear, but rather taking action despite it.
Your beliefs manifest into reality, and the energy you radiate is a conscious choice that shapes first impressions.
Seek wisdom by surrounding yourself with wise individuals, for your company influences your growth. Embrace the power of seeking help and persevering through numerous challenges, which are akin to a series of short races. Cultivate life-changing habits, even if it means breaking existing patterns. Understand that change is possible if you truly desire it. Your life’s quality is reflected in health, finances, attitude, and relationships, so invest in these areas.
Allocate 10% more of yourself in your interactions, and commit fully to showing up. Be responsible for your reactions, and consider why you respond in certain ways. Embrace attentive listening when someone is speaking to you, for the greatest influence often lies in your willingness to hear rather than to defend. Develop a personal leadership code encompassing ten guiding principles.
Prioritize relationships over problems, as gratitude leads to happiness. Engage in consistent incidental exercise and be discerning about the advice you take. Building good relationships is vital for retaining valuable people around you. Strive to see the best in others and let your actions be guided by what’s right, rather than by fleeting emotions. Choose to woo others through authenticity instead of pushing a sale, and have the courage to admit mistakes.
Identify three areas where you can wield significant influence, and remember that intentional focus amplifies your impact.
Influence isn’t just about authority; it’s about how you make people feel. Imagine changing lives, impacting purpose-led families, and becoming an agent of positive change:
? Transform lives with high-value behaviors.
? Believe in the power of your thoughts and words.
? Hang around wise minds; wisdom is contagious.
? Embrace change, as improvement thrives on it.
? Radiate energy, make great first impressions.
? Seek wisdom and accept help for growth.
?♂️ Persevere; life’s successes are made of short races.
? Adopt a life-changing habit to empower others.
? Relationships over problems; connect deeply.
? Listen, don’t just defend, for true influence.
? Unlock your potential by focusing on:
I challenge you to rate yourself out of 10 on the above influential behaviors. How do you stack up? Where can you improve?
We are here not just to sell or make money, but to serve…..To create positive change through what you do. Want to inspire as a business owner? Remember, influence comes through adopting the above high-value behaviors. The world craves leaders who positively impact lives. Transform your business approach, and watch your influence soar! ??
Positive thinking doesn’t work. Useful thinking is pragmatic. What’s useful to think, belief and take action on? You are in charge of what you believe. You can create what you want to see. Say, This is the best time in the history of the world ….. Go with that useful belief. Find beautiful things to focus on. Believe Opportunities are everywhere and your brain opens up. Your brain shuts down when you negative and thinking its tough time. Don’t blame, be angry or sit in denial… becoming accepting. You get your freedom back and create your own happiness. Stop looking for magic pill – “if only, if only”
Flat tired and uninspired
Get over grief by accepting, taking ownership, choosing useful beliefs, being engaged and dream.

(book) 24 laws of leaderships:
Personal Responsibility and Growth: The phrase “What part do you play in what’s happening to you?” encourages self-reflection and taking responsibility for one’s actions and reactions. By acknowledging our role in situations, we can avoid a victim mindset and focus on personal growth and development. This mindset shift can lead to greater resilience and empowerment.
Understanding Others’ Needs in Relationships: The idea that “Find out what the other person wants and give it to them = great relationships” emphasizes the importance of empathy and communication in building strong connections. Recognizing and fulfilling others’ needs and desires cultivates healthy and meaningful relationships.
Love Languages: Love languages refer to the different ways individuals express and receive love and affection. Understanding these languages—such as acts of service, words of affirmation, receiving gifts, quality time, and physical touch—can help people effectively communicate and nurture relationships.
Momentum in Business: “Momentum is your best friend in business” underscores the advantage of maintaining consistent progress in a business venture. Building momentum creates a sense of accomplishment, attracts attention, and can propel a business toward success through a snowball effect.
Challenges and Ease: The statement “Everything is hard until it’s easy” acknowledges that challenges are a natural part of growth. Difficulties may seem insurmountable at first, but as we persist and learn, we eventually master them, making the once-difficult tasks feel effortless.
Effective Leadership: Leaders recognize that the completion of tasks doesn’t equate to meaningful accomplishments. They prioritize tasks based on their importance and impact, ensuring that the team focuses on activities that align with overarching goals.
Goal Setting and Planning: “Busy doing what!!! Goal setting and planning daily” emphasizes the necessity of setting clear goals and creating actionable plans. This proactive approach ensures that time and effort are directed toward tasks that contribute to long-term success.
Empowerment and Problem Solving: The individual named Qyan expresses a desire to empower others and solve their problems. This aspiration reflects a dedication to providing value and making a positive impact on people’s lives, which can lead to meaningful connections and personal fulfillment.
Team Training and Support: Qyan recognizes the importance of training team members effectively and providing ongoing support. This commitment to facilitating a smooth transition and fostering continuous improvement demonstrates a dedication to the success of the team.
