INTENT - The MAGIC of the Martial Art of Business Series

How do you combine the key areas and principles of Martial Arts and Success and bring them together? In other words, how do you create MAGIC in your company? 

This is what Winston Price and Luis Vicente Garcia will be developing for you as we create “The MAGIC of Martial Arts of Business”.

As we know, Martial Arts are systems and traditions of combat practices, which are practiced for a variety of reasons: self-defense, competition, physical health and fitness, entertainment, as well as mental, physical, and spiritual development.

Business and Entrepreneurship, on the other side, are a combination of creative activities that bring out innovation, competition and practices that generate the new ideas and concepts that bring us the best products and services into the market place. Combining them will require discipline, persistence, skills and a creative artist view.

And we will be doing all of this focusing on performance, empowerment, motivation and a defining mindset. Join us as we start putting together the purpose, skills and abilities that will allow you to create Magic in your companies and develop “The MAGIC of the Martial Arts of Business Series”.

The Keys to Entrepreneurial Success!

When we talk about Business or entrepreneurial success, we might not be real sure what it is or how to define it. Whether you have been in business for years or you are a start-up, things look harder and more difficult than what you originally thought. 

What you need to do is to understand what makes you apart, what is important for you and your company and see how you start redirecting some of the approaches you have been using.

This actually is the number one critical issue for all people and companies that do change: realizing the need to adapt to the changing business environments, looking at the trends and doing the things you need to do to improve all areas in your company. When you do it, something starts to happen and suddenly there is a better flow, new ideas start to flourish, a more dynamic team takes action, goals are reached and visions are aligned. In all, you start talking about success.

There are many definitions on business success and in this program we discussed some ideas that may allow you to understand some of the Key Elements to Entrepreneurial Success. If you want to listen to our show Click HERE!

Think of strategic words in your business: Keys to Success, entrepreneurial success, vision, goals, performance, teamwork, change, strategy, trends, continuous learning.

And again, when you, your staff, team members and your company start talking about success and what it would mean to be successful (and yes we know we all measure Success in a different way) things start to change!.

How do you define Success? There are many definitions on business success and in this program we will be discussing some ideas that will allow you to understand some of the Key Elements to Entrepreneurial Success.

‘Performing at Your Best: Mindset Evolution’: Celebrating Show #50

"Success is waking up in the morning and bounding out of bed because there's something out there that you love to do, that you believe in, that you're good at - something that's bigger than you are, and you can hardly 

wait to get at it again." 

-- Whit Hobbs

Today we are celebrating an incredible day as my radio show Performing at Your Best: Mindset Evolution on VoiceAmerica Business is reaching its first big milestone: I will be LIVE at 6 pm EDT this afternoon to celebrate our show #50.

CHANGE has a positive impact on your Performance!

As we learn about how to improve our Performance we need to understand that learning about CHANGE is a critical and key ingredient for Success. 

We know that change happens!

I happens when we alter the form or nature of something; I will add, change happens when we alter the self-concept of someone as well. 

Basically, "Change" is always present in everything we do, whether it is in or personal or professional lives. It affects our society, our families and the companies we work and interact with. It affects technology, education and science. In summary, Change affects us all.

As George Bernard Shaw said:

“Progress is impossible without change, 

and those who cannot change their minds 

cannot change anything.” 

This is why understanding that change can have positive and everlasting implications in growth, evolution and transformation is extremely important in today’s world, as we all need the importance of a probably new concept: that we need to constantly be changing and adapting to the current market place.

Join me in this episode as we see the concepts of performance and mindset from the perspective of becoming a change leader; to listen to our show: Click HERE!.

Uplift Your Motivation

Motivation has been defined as the “act or instance of motivating or providing a reason to act in a certain way or to accomplish something”. 

So as a verb, it activates “action”.

Motivation is a key ingredient for success and we must understand that everything we do and dare to do, allow us to move forward no matter what happens to us, to fight adversity and to continue building and working to create our better future.

Being motivated is already a challenge by itself. This for you means: stay motivated every day to motivate and inspire others does matter.

As Coach Pat Railey once said: “a champion needs a motivation above and beyond winning.”

I would add, we all need motivation above all.

Join me as we start understanding the importance of motivation for today’s challenges and opportunities.

Always use words such as: Motivation, Optimism, Positive Attitude, Performance, Luis Vicente Garcia, Success, opportunities, future

Transforming Dreams into Education for the Future!

When you visit StarShine Academy in one of the hardest hit areas in Phoenix, AZ you immediately understand that it is a place in which you live an amazing process of transformation, one that is about helping change the single most important element for our future: Children's Education! 

StarShine is a K-12 school that started in Phoenix, AZ and focuses on the principles and values that kids and children need to learn for today’s world, which of course will include how they dedicate their lives for something very meaningful, their integrated lives.

When I met Trish McCarthy in 2013, she talked so passionately about the kids and teenagers they were teaching at StarShine that when I had the opportunity I went for a visit (by the way, walls are painted in Disney® Blue as I was told when I asked) and I had the incredible chance to talk to the seniors and juniors who amazingly were from different countries and were not going through the best of times; but that all changed in StarShine. 

In Trish’s words: “Our non-profit charter school prototype, StarShine Academy, has given us a live, testing model for cutting-edge practices, tools, educational methodologies and technologies.”

Since then, Trish and so many incredible individuals have gathered at the Vatican in Rome to design the curriculum for the new way of teaching for the future.

Ideas on Productivity!

Productivity is a key topic in today’s business world. 

It mixes what you do with how you do it and why you do it. 

Doing it right is not enough. You also need to do it effectively and efficiently and with the help and contribution of a committed and engaged TEAM.

Do you know how do you, your team and your company use your resources more effectively and efficiently? What key resources do you have? The main resources we all have are time, people and funds to invest in our company and our team. How do you develop them? 

In short: we need to use them wisely.

Productivity has been defined as “a measure of the efficiency of a person, machine, factory, system, etc., in converting inputs into useful outputs.” So it is actually the best and most efficient use of the resources we have in order to obtain a better and bigger output. 

And yes it includes all of our products, services, ideas, projects, team and all the resources you have combined with all that you and your company do. And of course they all relate to one of the main themes we cover in this Radio Show: PERFORMANCE.

Listen HERE and join us on this interesting episode as we talk on the very important subject of Productivity.

And keep improving your Performance.

Welcome to a Memorable 2016!

Welcome to 2016!

This new year can be a magnificent year, it can be an incredible year where you can start writing your own stories, prepare a new plan and work on your goals in order to achieve them. 

A new year is a wonderful opportunity to create everything we want for ourselves, our teams, our companies. And as I have heard Brian Tracy saying so many times, this is a wonderful moment to be alive and be in business.

A new year is a blank page for you to fill out; the new pages of brand a new book in your life, in the history of your company. 

As we start this New Year, let’s imagine the impossible, let’s imagine what we can achieve everything our minds can conceive. We all have our resources: time, team, financial and our strategies. How we take action and how we can implement all we need to do will require effort, dedication and determination.

A new concept for me in management is one that I call Dynamic Management. It will allow you to create your new plan, your new positive habits and design your new blueprint for a magnificent and a memorable 2016! If you want to learn how to start implementing the new aero.dynamic Management in your lifa and your company please write to me at coachluis@luisvicentegarcia.com

Reassessing your Performance on 2015!

When O had the chance to my live show only three days before the new year, I decided to help everyone do a review of the year as it came to an end. In our FocalPoint Coaching term we call it: Stop and Reassess.

So we entered the final week of the year and as always, it was extremely important that we all see where we were and what we achieved during the year, understand what worked and what can be improved. And best of all, to start with more strength and energy the new year.

If we evaluate what we did we can be assured we can continuously improve. By doing this, we can understand everything we did to get us to the particular point in which we are today.

 

Stop and reassess is a very interesting concept that we use in our FocalPoint Coaching practice and it which allows us to review where we all are, something particularly important at the end of a year or after finishing a very important task. 

For all of us, as we ended 2015, it required evaluating what you we did, if we achieved our gals and our plans, and all the actions we implemented. Once we do this, we have a new and more clear focus of where we want to go.

Join us on this interesting program as we discuss how you can evaluate your performance this year. To listen just Click HERE!

Creating new Business Ideas

We all need to focus on creating ideas and product or service innovation. Creating an idea is one thing, generating a business idea that creates a trend is another one. 

An Idea has been defined as any conception existing in the mind as a result of mental 

understanding, awareness, or activity

Business ideas come from many areas, places and may have many forms. And there are entrepreneurs, managers, business owners who are constantly creating new ideas. The products and services we use today are just that: the result of an idea well executed ad implemented in order to generate the new products and services the market place requires.

Join me take a look into business ideas and business trends. Listen HERE.

Increase your Performance through Time Management!

We all have the same amount of time.

Some use it wisely, some invest it, and some waste or spend it.

For any person or professional that truly wants to stand out, to make a difference, to improve your performance, you need to ‘Manage your Time Effectively’.

Time is one of the few precious resources we have in a limited basis.

The better we learn to use it - and as we improve constantly - the more we can achieve. And as you start implementing new tips and ideas to better use your time, you can increase your performance, your results and have a more balanced life.

The end result? Also increase your potential!

“Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. 

That's why it's called the present.”

A Go-Giver conversation with Bob Burg!

Are you a Go-Giver? A Go-getter? Or are you those who are simply a go-taker?

In this radio show it was my real pleasure to interview an amazing person and author Mr. Bob Burg. 

Mr. Burg and John David Mann wrote an incredible Parable which they called ‘The Go-Giver: A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea’; and during the interview we had a very nice conversation on the same the date in which the book's new expanded edition was launched in the market, on Oct 06, 2015.

It is how you see your business, how you give without expecting, how you see others, how you learn to be a better person and professional in every sense. In summary, how you give and add value!

In the authors’ words:

“Shifting your focus from getting to giving, that is, to focus on constantly and consistently providing value to other people’s lives, is not only a nice way to live life but a financially profitable way, as well.

You might already be doing that. If that is the case, no need to change your game. More often than not, however, it seems that giving comes with an agenda. The true spirit of giving (yes, even in business) is to give without attachment to receiving. 

This does not mean giving without expecting to receive… You give because you truly enjoy giving. You give because it’s who you are, and because it’s who you are, it’s what you do. When you do that, great and magnificent results will begin to occur.”

Join us on this incredible radio show on 'Performing at Your Best: Mindset Evolution' and Listen HERE as I interview author Bob Burg on this incredible occasion.

To your Increased Performance!
