Words to succeedPost words, achieve big, build success

day-by-day.Last year I posted four words on mybathroom mirror: Finish, Write, Shape,and Yea.I finished the 21.5 Unbreakable Laws ofSelling.I wrote 1000 words a week anddocumented hundreds of ideas.My shape is still plus 20 pounds, so thatword will remain this year.I maintained my yes attitude, but seeingthe word every morning and evening inmy bathroom mirror helped.Not bad achievement results but still being20 pounds overweight shows a flaw in myself-discipline. Not good.Based on last year’s success, this year Idecided to create two four-wordcategories. One for achievement and onefor improvement. Not ‘‘goals’’ in the sensethat you may be thinking about. Rather,intentions that I consciously andsubconsciously work on every day tobuild success all year long.By posting the words on my bathroommirror, I consciously see them each day,and subconsciously think about them andact on them regularly.Because they’re right in front of me everymorning and every evening, they areinescapable mental confrontations. Oh,and the process works.After I explain each word I have selectedfor this year, I’ll provide a lesson you canincorporate as you select your word(s).The lesson is the motive behind the wordso you can use the same principle as yougenerate your words.On the achievement side of life, my fourwords are: Adviser, Digital, Power andTime.Adviser: I launched the Gitomer CertifiedAdviser program in the fall of 2013.Instant success. I’ve certified more than100 advisers. They’re independentbusinesspeople who are now marketing

their sales and personal developmentservices using my intellectual property,both online and in the classroom.In 2014 I will intensify the program andthe process until there are 500 certifiedadvisers globally.Lesson: Once you have a successful idea,program, game plan, or processstrengthen it.Pick an achievement target, and figure outwhat you have to do weekly to make it areality.What’s one word that describes yourbiggest achievement target?Digital: Convert all paper, CD, and DVDto digital. Create financial and distributionopportunities only available to digitalinformation dissemination.The world is not quite ready for all digital,but I will be.Lesson: Don’t stay attached to oldtechnology or products even though theyhave brought success and profit in thepast.Companies like Yellow Pages, Blackberry,and AOL have buried themselves by notadvancing soon enough.Companies like Amazon, Zappos, andApple have marched to the head of theclass by innovating before the market did,and they set the standard for others tofollow.When someone says ‘‘It’s just like an iPad’’what they’re really saying is ‘‘iPad set thestandard’’.I want someone to say ‘‘I’m just likeGitomer’’.What’s one word that describes the

standard you are trying to set?Power: This year I intend to capitalise onthe convergent power of reputation,brand, intellectual property, and onlinedistribution.Content is more than king. It is desiredand bought by those in need. And withonline, on-demand video, concentrationon marketing and distribution are on thetop of my list.Lesson: Your experience has given youboth success and expertise.What expertise and success can youcombine that will give you a market-dominant opportunity?What’s one word that describes whatyou’re trying to capitalise on?Time My most precious resource andyours! This year I intend to take control ofit and make it my own.Not manage it, rather allocate it to thingsI want to do, rather than things I have todo.I want to write, speak, travel, learn, read,and have meaningful family time.It’s the subtle difference between‘‘spending’’ time and ‘‘investing’’ time.I have written about time allocation before,now it’s a matter of taking ownership of it.Lesson: Wasted time is at the top of lostresources for most people.Don’t let that be you. In 1889, OrisonSwett Marden wrote ‘‘Do not realise theimmense value of utilising spare minutes.’’What’s a word that offers you greaterinvestment in your most precious, non-recoverable resource?Hopefully the words I have chosen andthe lessons I have provided will inspireyou to write and define your words for theyear. Interestingly, you most likely knowin your mind what they are, but have yetto bring them to your bathroom mirror.Jeffrey Gitomer is the author of 12 best-selling books including The Sales Bible andThe Little Red Book of Selling. His best-selling new book, 21.5 Unbreakable Laws ofSelling, is now available.

Home ownerships costs to our low interest rates

The Reserve Bank is keepingits official cash rate to its

lowest since 1959 in anattempt to revive lagginghousehold spirits.

RBA governor Glenn Stevenshas decided the risk of a

housing bubble is less than therisk of rising joblessness and aslowing economy if rates arenot cut.

While the lower interest ratesare good for borrowers, thehigher house prices that result

make the hurdle for homeownership that much higher.

But assuming the deposit canbe afforded - a hugeassumption - and assumingthat house prices and bankdeposits returned about the

same annual growth, you’d bebetter off in property, simplybecause of the tax breaksavailable.There was not an RBA boardmeeting this month. The nextmeeting will be on the firstTuesday in February.

Grab atop dealCash-back incentives,

interest rate discounts andfee waivers are among themultitude of mortgageincentives flooding the market.Industry experts say themortgage industry is at its mostcompetitive level since theglobal financial crisis, andAustralians should expect tosee many more attractivemortgage deals pop up thisyear to attract new business.Interest rates have remained athistorically low levels and theReserve Bank of Australia haskept the cash rate on hold at2.5 per cent since August.Analysis by comparisonwebsite Finder found gift cardsand cash back offers along withhefty interest rate reductionsand fee waivers are among thedozens of incentives on offer.The site’s spokeswoman,Michelle Hutchison, said thistime of year was quieter forboth the property andmortgage markets.
