1. This Week's Jumpstart
The Power of One-on-One
The secret to being a good role model and mentor is in
finding out what others want and helping them succeed. The
secret to being a good and wise communicator is the patient
listening for those desires in others, and also in learning
from the experiences of others by questioning and listening
thoroughly, so that we may learn from their successes and
failures.
Frank Sinatra learned his superb breath control in singing
from his first band leader, Tommy Dorsey. In large part, the
person Helen Keller became was because of Anne Sullivan.
Plato learned from Socrates. Jesse Owens credits his winning
of the long jump in the 1936 Olympics to a tip given to him
by his top German competitor, Luz Long. In the middle of the
event, after Owens had already fouled twice on takeoff, Long
gave Owens a helpful hint on how to correct his takeoff
point. The result was a record breaking leap of over 26 feet
which stood for more than twenty years.
Artists have always learned more from observing other
artists than from going to classes or observing nature. In a
sense, you and I are master artists who have the opportunity
to breathe new colors, shading and perspective into the
lives of other artists who are struggling with their oils,
brushes and canvases. Think back to the people who have had
the most influence on you. You will likely find that they
have been people who really cared about you -- your parents,
a great teacher, a coach, business associate, a good friend
-- someone who was interested in you. The only people you
will influence to any great degree will be the people you
care about. When you are with people you care for, their
interests -- rather than your own -- will be uppermost in
your mind.
Our success in getting along with others and communicating
effectively with them depends solely upon our ability to
recognize their desires and needs, and help them fill those
desires and needs with positive actions.
In the communication process, knowledge is not always
wisdom; sensitivity is not always accuracy and sympathy is
not always understanding. All customer service and the
ability to gain trust and repeat business is based on
empathy. Empathy is "feeling with" and never assuming
anything until you have "walked a mile in the other person's
moccasins." Since it is impossible to know the road another
has walked, the best alternative is to ask questions with
interest and respect, and listen for the hidden agendas and
desires.
In this way, you can be a Renoir to the next Monet!

2. The Champion Within
Article
Take a Proactive Approach to Your Health by Denis Waitley
Think of your body as a high-powered, finely engineered
transportation vehicle, like a space shuttle. Instead of
liquid hydrogen, your body is powered by your own intake.
The food you eat is the fuel that energizes the vehicle.
What you put in your fuel tank is burned by your high
performance activity or - in the case of low-octane, junk
food - is deposited in your engine. Think of your mind as
the driver who takes control of and steers your body to
victory or hits the wall. Your body is very much like a car.
Drive it without proper fuel or maintenance and it will fall
apart. You take it for granted to get you where you want to
go, until it breaks down. Then it disrupts your way of life.
Like your car, your body only speaks to you by exception.
You only notice it when it is damaged or inoperative. But,
unlike your car, the spare parts business for your body is
not a viable option at present.
To combat disease and aging, you need to keep your bones,
joints and muscles flexible and strong. The right exercise
means weight-bearing exercise, not simply aerobics. The
International College of Sports Medicine has now added
exercise with weights to its long-time recommendation of
aerobic exercise. First, check with your physician who can
assess your general condition and advise you about healthy
levels of activity. Second, be aware that the effectiveness
of exercise depends as much on enjoyment as on the nature of
activity itself.
Just as important, if not more important than daily
exercise, is proper nutrition. What you eat has a major
impact on degenerative diseases. Do eat a low fat diet. Keep
your fat intake to 15 percent of all daily calories. This
will keep you lean and boost your immunity. Do eat a low
salt diet. Use a potassium-based salt substitute on the
table and in cooking. Do eat a high-fiber diet. Fiber
protects the colon from cancer, lowers cholesterol and
stabilizes blood sugar. Eat 40 to 50 grams of mixed fibers
daily, as in whole grain breads and cereals, especially
those containing oat bran, vegetables and fruits. Do eat a
low-sugar diet. Use a little fructose in place of table
sugar. Eat complex carbohydrates in place of sugar and look
for carbohydrate drinks sweetened with zylitol. Do drink
clean water. Drink bottled or home-distilled water, as much
as eight glasses per day.
Do eat an alkaline diet. Our high-fat, high-sugar diet
creates acidity. So many people are now acidic that we spend
hundreds of millions of dollars on antacids every year.
Do take daily nutritional supplements including essential
multi-vitamins, antioxidants and minerals. Current research
confirms that we can no longer get the essential nutrients
from our food alone. We must supplement even the best diet
with nutrition to promote resistance to disease. Do eat the
right kinds of foods and stay away from the fast-food,
fat-food drive-throughs. You are doing yourself and your
children a dangerous, long-term disservice by developing the
habit of eating high-fat, nutrition-poor meals. Make your
health your top priority. You can’t buy your health or life
back after years of neglecting it while you earn your
living.
Action Idea: List one activity you will begin to do tomorrow
to improve your health and increase the quality and quantity
of your life.

3. Seeds of Greatness by
Denis Waitley
(Excerpted from Denis Waitley's Excerpts from The Seeds of Greatness Treasury
Booklet)
Seeds of Discipline: Excellence is a Habit
We learn by observation, imitation and repetition.
Habits begin as offhanded remarks, ideas and images. And
then, layer upon layer, through practice, they grow from
cobwebs into cables that shackle or strengthen our lives.
Habits are like submarines. They run silent and deep.
First we make our habits, then our habits make us.
Habits are like comfortable beds. They are easy to get into,
but difficult to get out of.
Winning and Losing are both learned habits.
4. The
Winner's Edge Coaching Tips
This week I'm featuring a little something by Brian Tracy
titled, I Believe. It was excerpted from Brian's The 100
Absolutely Unbreakable Laws of Business Success. Enjoy! --
DW
I Believe by Brian Tracy
I believe every person has within themselves inexhaustible
reserves of potential they have never even come close to
realizing.
I believe each person has far more intelligence than they
have ever used.
I believe each person is more creative than he or she has
ever imagined.
I believe the greatest achievements of your life lie ahead
of you.
I believe the happiest moments of your life are yet to come.
I believe the greatest successes you will ever attain are
still waiting for you on the road ahead.
And, I believe through learning and application of what you
learn, you can solve any problem, overcome any obstacle and
achieve any goal that you can set for yourself.
