Why I Am a Student of Success
Kevin Lankford


You've probably heard the story of Harry Houdini. Did you know he once failed to perform his great escape act because the safe he was locked in was already unlocked? He was so focused on locked doors that the alternative hadn't crossed his mind.

I used to be guilty of the same thing. (Not doing an escape act, although it felt the same) I was so convinced all the doors of opportunity were locked that I almost gave up even trying to open them.

So I decided this once I could overcome my skeptical nature and give "the old college try." Boy, am I glad I did!

The great news is...you could do the same as me and become a student of success. And I'll pove it in this letter.

Closing the Success Gap

Warren Buffet is the 2nd richest man in the world.

Pure Fact!

Everyone knows that he is incredibe at one thing. Investing.

It is quite obvious that he's probably average or below average on hundreds of other things. In every interview I've ever seen about Warren Buffett he admits to this one point.

One of his keys to massive success (just like Tiger Woods) is the "Circle of Competence." Warren spends a ton of time working in his core competencies and strengths. (sound familiar?)Things he's good at.

On a piece of paper,draw a box. In this box list all your strengths and talents. Things you love to do and are good at. Natural strengths of yours.

What if you spend 70% of your time doing acivities and using talents that fell into the list in your box?

Warren Buffett, Tiger Woods, Oprah Winfrey; they've all excelled at a huge level because they spend more time than most in areas they LOVE and enjoy. I bet they wake up dancing and singing everyday! (Well at least they are not going oh noooo, I wish...)

Student of Success

I had a long time passion for self help and personal development. As a young man, when I was introduced to the Amway system, the very first book on the subject of self growth I ever read was "The Magic of Thinking Big" by Dr. David Schwartz. What a powerful life changing book that was!

It lead me to a deeper interest in personal development. Then I purchsed my first (of many to fllow) audio program entitled "The Psychology of Winning" by Dr. Denis Waitley and it included a free excerpt of "Lead The Field" by Earl Nightingale. Then I investigated the works of Zig Ziglar, Anthony Robbins, Les Brown (who I had the pleasure of working at one of the same radio stations he did)and the list goes on.

The important thing is it was one thing to be aware of their teachings, while putting them into practice, with passion, was a whole other endeavor. That's when I wrotemy book.

Success key*** Grow Your Strengths, Manage Your Weaknesses.

Ask Yourself:

• Where am I strong?



• What are my talents?



• What are my natural strengths?



• How can I spend more time in my 'talent box'?

Never doubt yourself, YOU have talents and natural strengths. Take some time to discover them. Send this letter to someone you know who could benefit from this.

May this wealth of knowledge give you the knowledge of wealth.

Your Friend,

Add Smile Power to Your Life

People with a great smile radiate a warmth that draws others to them instantly.

Several years ago I was in a San Diego restaurant with my mother. While I paid the check, we both noticed an elderly woman waiting to be seated. As we left the restaurant, Mom asked, "Did you notice that woman with the wonderful smile?" I most certainly did. Her smile lit up the room. It was a smile to die for_one that would certainly win instant friends. It was a smile that you don't often see in a stranger. And maybe Mom and I smiled back, I don't remember. Mom later commented, "I wish I'd told her what a terrific smile she had." But neither of us had. We'd both received a gift without saying thank-you.

Later, on my long drive home, I stopped at a fast-food restaurant for a quick bite. A 70ish woman waited by the condiment bar while her husband ordered. She glanced my way and smiled brightly. It was one of those smiles that broadcast, "I love life!"

I wasn't going to let THIS opportunity pass_I was going to say SOMETHING. As I approached this woman from 30 feet away, her smile melted into a rather startled look; as if asking, "Did I do something wrong?" I walked over to her and simply said, "You have a wonderful smile!" Wow, did her face light up! And she responded with an enthusiastic, "Thank You". My comment probably made her day, but it also made MY day. We truly exchanged gifts that afternoon.

SMILES: INSTANT FACELIFTS

Life's lessons have taught me this: a smile is the number one feature that makes people attractive. It's a welcome mat. It's what makes folks approachable. People with a great smiles radiate a warmth that draws others to them instantly.

Some people naturally have a great smile. Others_analytical types like me_must work at it. One way to tell if you're in my category is to recall picking up your developed photos. As you flipped through the pictures, you didn't like the way you looked in most of them. But then...you discovered that one great picture of yourself. In it, you look friendly_you're smiling broadly and your eyes twinkle. Now THAT picture looks like you!

I hate to say it, but ALL the pictures look like you_even those you dislike. Unfortunately, those "bad" photos, where your face doesn't look its best, portray how you often appear. In fact, you might normally look even worse, since you were TRYING to look good for the camera. Usually you're not even making that effort, and may appear even less inviting than you do in "bad" photos. And if you're like me, you assume you're not particularly photogenic and that your smile needs work. When you've mastered your smile, you'll consistently look better in photos. Most important, though, you'll be more attractive and approachable every day.

When you're having a good time, does your face show it? You might be surprised. Years ago I dropped into a comedy club in Montgomery, Alabama. I was sitting in the front row, where one is typically fair game to be picked on by the comedian. But being the non-expressive, serious Norwegian that I am, I wasn't giving the comic the jovial feedback he needed. I was enjoying the show, but in a straight-faced manner. About halfway through the show, the comic interrupted his routine to ask me point-blank, "Are you having a good time?"

I responded, "I'm having a great time." His comeback: "Well then, tell your face!" I was enjoying the program, laughing inside, even studying the performer's humor and technique. BUT...not giving him any outward indication.

In everyday life the same concept applies. You might be enjoying your job, but fail to show it. You may want to meet someone, yet not give them a single, friendly clue. You can even be IN LOVE with somebody, and totally hide it. Your face should express what you feel when you wish to connect with others.

SMILE AEROBICS FOR EMOTIONAL HEALTH

One way to become better at smiling is increasing your awareness. Take notice of those you find warm and inviting. Is it their smile? Make an effort to LOOK for great smiles. Notice the appeal of people who smile with their EYES, not just their mouth. The whole face gets involved. Consider these people your models. Study yourself in the mirror. How do you look in the rest room, when shopping, and while passing a reflective window? Do you look friendly? Approachable? Do you really LIKE the image you're projecting?

In fact, a mirror is ideal for your smile workout. Practice various smiles toward capturing that perfect look for the camera. Work on expressing your smile with your eyes. A tip: cut a paper rectangle that permits you to see only your eyes in the mirror. Practice smiling just with your eyes. Get used to the feel of your cheekbones as they lift to brighten your eyes. When you see how a great smile LOOKS, remember how it FEELS. When you can finally project your best smile, hold it. Turn away from the mirror. How does your face feel? What muscles are you using? Make an effort to develop muscle memory, so you can instantly recreate this smile at will.

THE SMILING REMINDER

Sometimes it's life's little reminders that help us focus on making self-improvements. I set out to find a "smile" lapel pin as a permanent token of my smile's importance. After a fruitless one-year search, I commissioned the design and production of smile pins. Now when I encounter a total stranger with a million-dollar smile (not an everyday occurrence), I share the compliment, "You have a wonderful smile...thanks for brightening my day! I'd like you to have my golden smile pin." Then I might add, "And someday, when YOU see a total stranger with a fantastic smile, you can pass on the pin to them."

This little reminder has conditioned me to search out life's glowing smiles, and not to allow them to pass unnoticed. I always carry "golden smile" pins. And when I spot a show-stopper smile, I always express my appreciation.

Other strategic pluses:


The pin reminds me never to leave home half-dressed: without my smile. Even while I'm running routine errands, it keeps me focused on smiles as life's true blessings.

By shaping my focus, the pin increases awareness of my public appearance and attitude. For example, when in a grocery line, I don't want the checker to glance up and think, "Why in heaven's name is this sourpuss wearing a smile pin?" It forces me to wear a friendly face all day.

The pin encourages me to compliment others. When I fail to say a kind word about someone's beautiful smile, I feel guilty. Now, that's what I call constructive guilt! We've often been conditioned to feel shame because we've not lived up to what others expect, but isn't it more positive to suffer guilt for failing our OWN expectations?

You needn't search for a smile pin to remind you. You can choose another object, like a clown pin, that will program you to focus on smile power. Or consider something that nobody else sees, like whimsical underwear. In fact, you may discover that the sheer strength of just your awareness can create positive life changes. With practice you can focus on life's smiles; and create your own relaxed, naturally warm smile. And THEN when you get back a roll of photos, you'll like almost all of them! That's certainly been my pleasant experience. And when you encounter customers, strangers, or loved ones, you'll always be ready to pass on your award-winning smile!

Quote for the day:

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's
life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the
results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of
others opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most
important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
You somehow already know what you truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary." - Steve Jobs


Design Your Destiny
By Jill Koenig
Author, Coach, Motivational Speaker

Have you noticed around you that expectations are already
starting to change?

We are heading into the Holiday Season and this is when I start
to hear rumblings about how production declines and things slow
down, except for the retailers who magically cash in on the
droves of Holiday shoppers.

They say real estate sales drop, momentum drops, business slows,
yadda yadda yadda.

That's hogwash.

It doesn't drop for everyone.

It only drops for people who believe that and buy into that
mentality.

A lot of people do slack off this time of year. It's crazy.
They slack off to conform to what they think everyone else is
doing.


For the rest of us, this is a time of year of amazing growth and
opportunity.

This is the time that I dig in deeper and really pour it on.

Most people fall into a state of complacency between now and
January 1st and then they throw together some sloppy
"resolutions" they pulled out of thin air that they have
absolutely no commitment to and no plan for attainment.


I am going to devote the next six weeks to helping you
strategize your goals, create plans to achieve them and redesign
your life. I am going to show you how to design your destiny
starting today!

I am going to give your more tips, more teleseminars, more
podcasts, more strategies and more tools to re examine, redefine
and redesign your life!

I am going to help you make the the next six weeks a time in
your life of re construction and affirmation of the life you
know you are truly capable of living.

Are you in or are you in?

Great, let's go!

Let's focus the next six weeks on building momentum and creating
new habits to carry forward starting today, tomorrow and into the
new year. You are going to wake up energized, and hungry to seize the day. You are going to become a lean mean Goal Achieving Machine!

It starts right now.

The first step is to get serious about your time.

The Time Commandments Ebook is the foundation for arranging your life so that your goals and dreams become a priority instead of being an afterthought.

To help you get a head start on programming yourself for success
starting NOW, I am making the ebook available for only $ 14.97
until November 27th. Then the price goes up. I love to reward
those who take quick decisive action on their dreams.

Get it here:

http://www.goalguru.com/products

If you want to ensure that you are programming yourself to
become an unstoppable force over the next six weeks, I recommend you grab the ebook AND the instant download audios as well so that you can put them on your ipod, burn your own cd's, listen in the car and burn the success principles into your subconscious through persistent, consistent repetition.

I want you to be conscious about how you spend your time over
the next six weeks.

No excuses.

It's time to transform your life.

It begins by transforming yourself.

Make the commitment.

Let's go.

Live Your Dreams,

Jill Koenig

Hi,

This is going to be crazy. No Kidding!

In a second, I'll tell you how you can link to My own PERSONAL MYSPACE
account...

Where you can be HOTWIRED to other Champions worldwide...

First, here's something to add a different twist to today!

---

In my book Bettering Your Best: Using Your Strengths to Springboard Success we discuss the importance of knowing Murphy's Laws. Though it's a little tongue in cheek humor to know these unwritten guidelines; the importance of expecting the unexpected is what gives you the ability to Live by Design and not by Default.

So with that in mind here are Murphy's Lesser Known Laws:

• Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.



• He who laughs last, thinks slowest.
  
  
• Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.



• Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.



• Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.



• The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90 percent probability you'll get it wrong.



• If you lined up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would be stupid enough to try to pass them, five or six at a time, on a hill, in the fog.



• If the shoe fits, get another one just like it.



• The things that come to those who wait will be the things left over by those who got there first.



• Flashlight: A case for holding dead batteries.



• The shin bone is a device for finding furniture in a dark room.



• A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.



• When you go into court, you are putting yourself in the hands of twelve people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.

Though humorous the idea of success is to break Murphy's laws and be in control of your life. Most times it involves taking total responsibility for every outcome in your life.

Stop procratination and Get around to it!

FREE GIFT:

You know how people say "when or if I can get around to it?" Now you can!! If you email me at Kevin@KevinLankford.ws I will send you
FREE an AROUND TO IT button that shows your dedication to living by design and not by default. With this button you'll now have your "around to it!" NO MORE EXCUSE. It's our way of saying thank you! Just put AROUND TO IT in the subject line and include your name and mailing address.

Go for it!
