BusinessWISE

Life is a GAME, as we covered in an earlier episode.

Every game has barriers. You know that. In fact, if you've ever tried to accomplish anything worthwhile, you've run into plenty of them.

But of all the barriers you will ever face, there is one that comes first. Until you overcome it, you can never truly begin to win.

What is it?

That's exactly what we're going to cover in this episode.

We've talked about games before, and I wouldn't be surprised if most BusinessWISE listeners could tell me the three basic elements of a game. Yet there is one aspect of games, identified by Mr. Hubbard, that is frequently overlooked. Ironically, it may be the very factor that determines whether you have a winning game or a losing one. Let's take a closer look.

Most of us have had the experience, and all too often, of spending time with someone after which one feels completely drained.  These are the energy thieves, and if we can we try to avoid them.  But there is something more valuable to be learned here.  Discovering the CAUSE of the phenomena puts YOU at cause, and leads you to what LRH refers to as man’s highest virtue.

Few people go through life without making enemies. Gone are the days of settling disputes through a duel, a showdown with a six-gun on your hip, or, as was once done in English public schools, a few rounds in the boxing ring.

Today, the most common way to destroy someone is to destroy their reputation—usually from a hidden source. It is a cowardly operation, but that does not make it any less painful or destructive.

The first step in handling Black PR is recognizing it for what it is. Listen carefully to this episode. It could save your career, your business, or even your life.

There is a powerful wavelength that can and should be incorporated into virtually every move you make in business. When properly applied, it can dramatically increase your effectiveness, improve communication, strengthen public perception, and raise your odds of success. Best of all, it is simple, practical, and surprisingly enjoyable to use.

We have done many episodes on the Org Board over the years.  None is more important than this one, but it has remained buried in the archives. This understanding of the Org Board will help more than your business; it can put your whole life on the fast track to success.

How is it going building your dream—and your team?

The two are inseparable, aren't they?

Most of us have goals that are simply too large to accomplish alone. Sooner or later, if we are going to achieve them, we must learn to build a team. And the moment we begin building a team, we are confronted with the subject of leadership.

In actual fact, there is no leadership without teambuilding, and there is no teambuilding without leadership.

So let's spend a little time on both.

You may have been told “you can’t have everything”, but is that true?  Many have said “I want it all”, and those who say that are sometimes accused of being a little unrealistic.  What is the truth here?   You might be very surprised at the answer.

Do you have a morale problem in your business or group? Maybe you do, maybe you don’t. But I do not know many successful business owners who don’t have an interest in the MORALE of their team.

 

And the more you understand about morale, the better equipped you will be to handle this vital factor in your group or organization.

 

Attitude is an interesting subject.

It’s one of those words people throw around casually, but what does it actually mean — and how much can attitude determine success or failure?

We recently ran across an LRH datum regarding attitude, and I think you are going to be surprised at how useful it can be to identify a certain attitude that virtually guarantees mad cope and eventual failure.
