Do you know the 90/10 Secret??

Do you know the 90/10 Secret??



The 90/10 secret is incredible! Very few know and apply this secret. The result? Millions of people are suffering undeserved stress, trials, problems, and heartache. They never seem to be a success in life. Bad days follow bad days. Terrible things seem to be constantly happening. Theirs is constant stress, lack of joy, and broken relationships. Worry consumes time, anger breaks friendships, and life seems dreary and is not enjoyed to the fullest. Friends are lost. Life is a bore and often seems cruel. Does this describe you? If so, do not be discouraged. You can be different!. Understand and apply the 90/10 secret. It will change your life! 


What is this secret?




10% of life is made up of what happens to you.
90% of life is decided by how you react.

What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane may be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%! How? By your reaction. You cannot control a red light, but you can control your reaction. Don't let people fool you, YOU can control how you react!

Let's use an example. You're eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just happened. What happens next will be determined by how you react. You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the coffee cup over. She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup to close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. 

You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs you find your daughter has been to busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus. Your spouse must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit.

After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 (traffic fine) away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs to the building without saying good-bye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started badly. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to going home. When you arrive home you find a small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter.

Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning. 

A) Did the coffee cause it?
B) Did your daughter cause it?
C) Did the Policeman cause it?
D) Did you cause it?

The answer is D. You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day.

Here is what could have and should have happened. Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say "It's OK honey, you just need to be more careful next time". Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a clean shirt and your briefcase. You come back down in time look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You and your spouse kiss before you both go to work. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on what a good day you are having.

Notice the difference. Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different. Why? Because of how you REACTED. You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% is determined by your reaction. 

Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 secret.

If someone says something negative about you, do not be sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You do not have to let the negative comment affect you! React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out, etc. 

How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound the steering wheel? Do you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them? WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the blue car ruin your drive.

Remember the 90-10 principle, and do not worry about it! 

You are told you lost your job. Why lose sleep or get irritated? It will work out. Use your "worrying" energy and time into finding another job.

The plane is late. It is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on. Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger, etc. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse.

You now know the 90/10 secret. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results.

7 Priceless Lessons You Will Learn From The TV Show 'The Celebrity Apprentice'

7 Priceless Lessons You Will Learn From The TV Show 'The Celebrity Apprentice'


the apprentice donald trumpEntrepreneurs can learn a lot from Donald Trump‘s TV show ’The Celebrity Apprentice‘. Donald Trump challenges each contestant in a number of different surroundings with experiences that a Billionaire businessman would be faced with.
A lot of entrepreneurs swear by ‘The Celebrity Apprentice‘ series as they have felt inspired and guided in the right direction after watching a season of the show. Read on for 7 priceless lessons that ‘The Celebrity Apprentice’ will teach you.


7 Entrepreneur Lessons From Donald Trump’s ‘The Apprentice’


Be a leader even if you’re not in a leadership position:

bill goldberg celebrity apprenticeTrue leaders stand out even when they aren’t in a position of power. This doesn’t mean butting heads with the real group leader or trying to take over, but showing that you’re invested in the team and want to step up when needed is valuable for any person in business. On Celebrity Apprentice, though the project manager gets the most credit for the job done, team members who showed initiative and leadership skills, while still following the leader’s directions, are often recognized by Mr. Trump. For example, in season nine, on a project creating advertorials, wrestler Bill Goldberg became increasingly enthusiastic and involved as the assignment went on and was praised, in contrast to Darryl Strawberry, who disengaged from the team and ended up going home.

Don’t let your emotions get the best of you:

nene leakes celebrity apprenticeWhen working with a team or with clients, you need to know how to manage your emotions and be aware of others’ feelings. This is a lesson we seem to learn in just about every episode of Celebrity Apprentice since watching rich people lose their cool makes for such great entertainment. NeNe Leakes in season 10, for example, was the project manager for a challenge and before the project even started, Nene went off on team member Star Jones — in front of the competition and the client. Even if her emotions were valid, she should’ve taken a moment to collect herself and notice that she was making the client (and everyone else) uncomfortable. Though she wasn’t fired, her antics put her up for elimination.

Play nice:

Your boss doesn’t intend to hire people that you won’t get along with like the producers of the Celebrity Apprentice probably do, but that doesn’t mean that every personality will mesh on a team. If there’s one what-not-to-do lesson we learn from the show week in and week out, it’s that cutting down other team members and bickering internally will not lead to success. In the most recent season, Lisa Lampanelli and Dayana Mendozahad a fight-filled project, complete with name-calling and yelling matches, ultimately leading to a loss for their team (and plenty of drama for the ratings). If you find yourself working with people you don’t care for, make an effort to get along and act civilly; it will go a long way toward building team morale and a better end result.

Ask for feedback:

donald trump officeGoing to a supervisor and asking how you can improve or why you weren’t chosen for a certain project or position can bolster your boss’s opinion of you. As long as you approach the situation with a humble, willing-to-learn attitude and don’t involve anyone else’s performance in the discussion, your boss will be impressed with your initiative. La Toya Jackson had been fired in a previous episode, but she requested a private meeting with Donald Trump, asked for feedback on why she had been fired, and ended up being brought back to the competition. You may not see results quite as quickly, but your supervisor will probably remember it the next time a project comes up.

Networking is important:

celebrity apprentice nbcWhile your network might not land you a $300,000+ donation likePaul Teutul Sr. received from a contact in the season premiere of season 12, you can get opportunities, sales, and even more business contacts by reaching out and setting up an expansive network of peers. Though the networking we see on Celebrity Apprentice has more impressive names and bank accounts than yours probably will, you can see the importance of knowing people when it comes time to use a contact’s expertise or resources. Keep in touch with contacts so they won’t feel used when you need some help from them, and contribute to their projects when you can.

Take responsibility for your actions:

celebrity apprentice fightWhen you make a mistake, whether it’s big or small, your reputation will hold up much better if you just accept responsibility rather than trying to pass blame on someone else. Owning your mistakes and learning from them is a big part of growing as a person and as an employee or manager, and will earn you respect from peers and supervisors alike. Though George Takei was fired for the mistakes he made as a project manager, he took full responsibility and accepted the decision with grace and dignity. Trump and Takei’s fellow team members praised him for his class, and you can tell that if this was a normal working environment, Takei would’ve gotten to stick around.

Stick up for yourself:

celebrity apprentice winJust because you’re humble and admit your faults doesn’t mean you should let people walk all over you or throw in the towel when you’ve gotten tripped up. We’ve seen it in the show’s boardroom time and time again: a person admits they had some problems with the latest project but points to their various successes in the past and their desire to continue on with the competition. And they’re spared from the dreaded Trump firing. Don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself if you’re in the line of fire and point out everything you’ve done right in the past; as long as you don’t try to throw someone else under the bus (or bring them under there with you), you may just get what you want.


Cheers!
