Here Are 5 Things I Learned This Week.
1. For a Team to be successful each team member MUST hold each other accountable.
2. There will be times with people will forget what they tell you or forget that they had something in the works for you. It does not hurt to remind them. Remind them.
3. Sometimes you have to remind adults that they are adults.
4. If you are managing by email, you are NOT managing and you are certainly not LEADING. Get out, on the ground, and LEAD!
5. If you don't know something, ask!
Well those are just five of the things I learned this week. What did you learn?
Thank you,
Dave Guerra

The 5 Things I Learned Last Week (week ending Frilday, April 25, 2014)
Here are the 5 Things I Learned This Week.
• Give Credit where and when credit is due. ALWAYS GIVE CREDIT. If you
ever fail to give that credit you will be found out as a fraud, a liar, a
poser. Remember, the truth always comes out.
• Sometimes, the only way people know how to express gratitude is by paying you. Take it. No questions asked and buy something cool for your organization.
• Know your limits when it comes to performing your job. What I mean by that this is, ALWAYS be truthful to the customer and tell them that you cannot do the job. Then find them someone who can do it. This then creates a bond with that customer. Why? They know that they can trust you do their job, the right way. Who knows they might just come back the very next day and give you work. It's true it happened to me this week.
• It still surprises me that people will come back into your business life time and time again looking to be part of the team. Then when they are given the opportunity to be part of the team they are blow it away. They refuse to work and then refuse to show up. Seriously, why do people want to waste their time playing these nonsense games. Then again, why ruin any future chance with the company by misleading the organization? Some things I may never understand.
• It is critical that everyone understands your organization's mission and vision. If you have to draw a picture and explain it using 3rd grade reading level words then you will have to do that. Your organization's mission and vision is just that important. Your staff are that important, as well.
Well those are just five of the things I learned this week. What did you learn?

ABCs of 2014: Day 3: Always Be Changing
Today's ABCs of 2014 is: ALWAYS BE CHANGING. A for Always, B for Be, and C for Changing.
If you want to succeed in 2014 or anytime you have to be constantly changing. Stay flexible, Stay Dynamic and do all that you can to avoid becoming static.
The thing to remember is that when you start to become static you also become just another face in the crowd. You fail to change means that you will fail to succeed.
The world is littered with examples of people that fail to change. Don't become a cautionary tale for someone else. Change! Change Now! Change Often! Change Always!

01 August 2013
Today is a Brand New Day!
Whatever happened yesterday, and the day before that and the day before that day and so on in no way mean that is what should happen today or tomorrow. Today is NOT yesterday nor is it tomorrow. Today is NOW and right now is yours to make better, that is unless you choose to make it bad or worse than yesterday.
Sure you can sit and dwell on how someone screwed you over or how someone broke your heart or whatever but guess what? You cannot change what happened. You can only move forward from yesterday and make it better today!
Leave yesterday and the past where it belongs; in the past! They make monuments to commemorate the past which people visit all the time. Take the Washington Memorial for instance. There stands a tall spire to remember a great man that led a fledgling nation to become the greatest on the planet. However, no one stops to dwell on Washington's internal struggles, his personal setbacks, who broke his heart, or who spilled wassail on him during that Christmas at Valley Forge. Some two hundred plus years later all we see is the positive. That gives us a chance to make a better future.
So you can sit there and dwell on how someone did something wrong to you or you can decide that you will do what it takes to ensure that you are never in that situation again, even if means you are the one that did something wrong.
Now get out there and demand from yourself a better future!
Thank you,
Dave Guerra

120. About Being Proactive
Here's a little something about being Proactive.
When I wrote my mini-series about Planning, in a nutshell, what I was saying is that Planning is ALL about being Proactive!
Being Proactive is plain and simple all about thinking ahead! Thinking ahead at what needs to be done, what has to get done, how it will get done, and covering as many of the outcomes as possible. Knowing fully well you cannot cover them all but as part of being proactive you have to try to cover as many as you can.
When you are developing a plan (for business, for a special event or for personal reasons) you are in essence taking the initiative and declaring your intentions loud and clear. The more detail your plan contains the more deliberate and audacious you can be. Being Audacious and Being Deliberate are what I consider two foundation pieces to being Proactive.
Now take this one step further: Take this beyond the planning phase of life. Take being Proactive and make it part of your EVERY DAY life. Look at things and think (and plan) two to three moves ahead. Consider the possibilities and then execute. Thus effectively taking the initiative.
Take the initiative in life by realizing that your decisions (and how they align with your life's principles) are the primary determining factor for how effective you are in your life.
Take responsibility for your choices and the consequences (both good and bad) that follow. No matter what they consequences are you are prepared because you were Proactive.
Thank you,
Dave Guerra

119. Life's Required Reading: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
Folks, thanks for following me. I really do appreciate you taking the time out of your life to read my words. I am forever grateful to you. It is something that I have wanted to do for quite a while and I am glad I did it. I want to share something with you. Right now it is Spring Break week and my kids are at home enjoying the break before the final push to the end of the school year. While this week was not about staying up late and goofing off, it was about getting plenty of rest and staying busy so as not to lose the momentum to make that final push.
Well long story short, my daughter was tasked to read a book for school. However, prior to this I told her that I really wanted her to read one book that I felt would help in changing her perspective on life. Mind you she is about to become a teenager and I wish my parents had known about this book and the foresight to encourage my brothers and I to read it. That's OK because I eventually did read this book It rocked my world when I read it and I certainly hope it rocked her world. When she finished it she thanked me for giving her the book to read. She said she understands some things differently now and she said that she will revisit this book from time to time, much like I still do.
I highly recommend this book. Do not let the title fool you it is NOT about making money. It is about becoming Rich as an individual, as a human being. It is about understanding that with consistency, perseverance, commitment and dedication (among other things) you can get exactly what you want to include financial riches. It is about overcoming your fears (and not letting them consume you). Most of all, it tells you in no uncertain terms that you can become what and who you want to become no questions asked.
The book is "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. Give it a try.
Thank you,
Dave Guerra

Change is all around
I know I have talked about it in the past and yet it never ceases to amaze me how people handle change. While some people will embrace it, others will go into panic mode, and others will become spectators as change unfolds right in front of them. Which one are you? There are no other options just three and you do have to make a choice.
I firmly believe that while change might not always be for the better, it does serve a greater purpose in life. If not for anything else than to realize that change is going to happen again and again until the end of time. No matter how much we wish for it to go away, change will continue to be part of this existence.
This past week was a great example of how change affects people. The 21st Games of the Winter Olympics kicked off last Friday, but not before the death of the Georgian athlete on the last turn of the Whistler Luge track. While it was shocking and horrific to see, it was a most unexpected change that served as a catalyst for subsequent changes. Being proactive, ok reactive, the organizers of the Olympic Games in Vancouver took charge and made the necessary changes to make the course a little safer before competition started thus preventing any such future calamities, hopefully. Change is coming and it can make you or break you.
The economy is certainly full of changes. Right now, there are people still sweating bullets for fear that their job is on the line. Instead of increasing their value within their respective organizations, they are getting mad, panicking and doing things that will all but ensure their dismissal. Change is coming and you better be ready for it.
The world is constantly evolving and change is always happening. Natural and man-made disasters are always occurring. There is nothing the average person can do to prevent natural disasters, but when those changes occur you have to roll with the punches because last time I checked no one can “fool with Mother Nature.” When the changes are man-made, if you are not right there at the moment just before it happens there is really nothing anyone can do to stop the change. Change is all around you; accept it as the price of admission to live on this planet.
Right now, people are facing personal struggles that will change their life forever. They are the ones that are allowed to be angry and mad, but only for five minutes. As Tom Hanks as Astronaut Jim Lovell said in Apollo 13, “We are not gonna do this. We're not gonna go bouncing off the walls for ten minutes...'cause we're just gonna end up right back here with the same problems--” Five minutes is all you get because change is coming, no, no it is already here!
We do not have to like change, we don’t have hate it either. We just have to accept the fact that when it comes to change we must Be Strong, Be Brave, and Be In Charge.

Update to the Resolutions
A couple of days ago I posted my resolutions for 2008 and discovered that there were two things seriously missing from my resolutions:
6. Volunteer (any suggestions would be appreciated)
7. Read one book a month
There we go, seven resolutions sounds like a lot but it can be done. So if I can do it, we all can do it. All it takes is one step.
At first, that is until the ball is really rolling I will post one update a week on how the resolutions are going. Then I will drop it down to once every other week.
So here they are in order:

Now for something completely fresh
Earlier I wrote a few lines of advice on how to set a goal and what it takes to get to achieving it. So now I will take a dose of my own medicine. I present you my goals for the first half of 2008:
On that note, I leave you with my first 5 goals for the first part of 2008. What are your goals?

It's 2008 & a new opportunity for something fresh
By now, January 2, you have probably been inundated with talk about the new year being an opportunity for change. Change your image, change your appearance, change your attitude, change you.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. This time of the year we all tend to fall into that trap (those hot, tight, ripped bods are all over our television screens) because we see something that appeals to us and we want a piece of that action. There is nothing wrong with wanting to look like them, however there is a point where reality sets in.
What does that last sentence mean? It means that if you don't already look like those hot bods, then rest assured that after one workout you won't as well. So no matter what you are wanting to do whether its getting a raise, start your own company, get published, or lose a few pounds from all that holiday partying, you are going to have to take a common sense approach. So here are few things to keep in mind.
So take some time today and get the ball rolling, just remember that it may take sometime to get to full speed. Just remember it will take some time, remember the farmer can't grow a crop of wheat overnight, he has to be patient and keep at it until the wheat is ready to be cut.

- Set a realistic goals
- Develop a plan to meet your goals
- Collect your resources
- Refine your plan
- Solicit support from others
- Refine your plan
- Put your plan into Action
- Make adjustments to you plan
So take some time today and get the ball rolling, just remember that it may take sometime to get to full speed. Just remember it will take some time, remember the farmer can't grow a crop of wheat overnight, he has to be patient and keep at it until the wheat is ready to be cut.
