The One Minute Millionaire

What is Your HOTS Style in a Team Hare, Owl Turtle or Squirrels?

Do you have great ideas, but struggle with follow through? In the story that we read to our children about the rabbit and the tortoise, the hero is slow and steady tortoise who wins the race and we generally judge the rabbit for his arrogance and dropping the ball at the end. But there is more to the story than meets the eye. The story was probably written by someone who does not have knowledge of building teams. When building teams in your organisation or even when working with your family, it is important to know what your strengths are and draw from those. When I read the One Minute Millionaire, they have a section on styles of teams. Structuring your teams according to what strength they have, goes a long way in making sure that you achieve your goals. While you don't want to box people into a certain style, it is helpful when creating a vision to know which types of people can compliment the team. In the book, you also learn when is the ...

Book Review: How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be?

Are you stuck in a rut? It is time to change for the better. In the book, How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be , Jack Canfield shares 25 Principals for Success. This book is a work in progress for me, as I am currently reading it. But so far I can highly recommend it, not only for your own life but how to deliberately programme your children for success in their lives. Currently, I am on the section of taking 100% responsibility for your life. As a mom of three I regularly hear, "Mommy, Michael hit me in the back!", "Mommy, Nadine is feeding the kittens from her plate!", and other countless complaints and cries for attention from the family. In the section of Taking 100% responsibility for your life one of the first principals is to give up blaming or complaining. It sounds pretty simple. But if you become aware of how many complaints or blaming we hear every day, then you begin to realise that this is a deliberate action th...

The Question for Today - How Does My Childhood Affect My Life?

The Question for Today - How Does My Childhood Affect My Life? In the Book Have a New You by Friday, a New York Times Best Seller there are activities for each day. While not the only worthwhile part of the book, I found the Birth Order section the most interesting. It caused me to ask myself questions about who I am and how my childhood affected me. While I was raised as an only child, I broke the mould and had three children. Being raised as an only child did not give me the skills to instead family dynamics the way children from larger families do. This book not only made me rethink the way that I see myself. But also made me see my children in a completely different way. It also helps me to realise how nurturing their differences can bring out the best in them. I realised why my first born daughter is far more compliant than my other children. She has those oldest child qualities of being reliable and conscientious and has a keen sense of rig...
