Welcome to another Success Tips Newsletter.
Since my last newsletter, I have been doing some good old fashioned spring cleaning.
But what I am talking about is that of the "business" type.
You see over the last 9-months we have been busy building, growing and taking advantage of some great opportunities.
With that however there have been a number of business activities that have needed to take a back seat. Namely filing, stock control, data entry, blah, blah, blah.
I won't bore you with any details, because you know the story, right?!
You feel annoyed and then guilty, and then eventually you decide to "just do it". Once you have made a start you begin to think "it's not that bad" and when it is all completed you feel so much better - like you finally have some room to breathe again.
So for me the last two weeks have been all about getting up to date.
What about you? Does this story sound familiar? Are there some things that you have been putting off that you need to make a start on?
"If so, then make a decision to bite the bullet and get done what you need to get done!"
Now on another note, this month I celebrated my first real Fathers Day. As you can see from the photo below, Finnegan is growing into a beautiful boy and I am one very proud dad...
OK now it is time for this weeks Success Tip. It is an article that I wrote that recently appeared in Wealth Creator magazine.
Please read it now and take to heart the ideas and principles that it shares.

WEAR YOUR UNDERWEAR ON THE OUTSIDE:
Some superpowers you need for business success
By Dale Beaumont
Picture this: an eerie place overwhelmed with blackness where the only source of light is the fiery blazes of upturned cars. And it flickers off the tiny shards of glass that spreads itself over footpaths lined with chalky silhouettes of deceased citizens.
Imagine this. But not for too long, as you know that thieves lurk within every shadow and that chaos should always be expected. Then spare a thought for those who prevent it. Those dedicated few who we all like to call SUPERHEROES.
We have all thought about how life would be as superheroes with superpowers. However, to avoid chaos within a business we must do more than just think.
Here are some superhero powers that successful people use to prevent disorder and anarchy within their business.
Laser Vision
Remain focused. Once successful people have defined their aims and outcomes, they zero in on that one thing. Make up your decision and stick to it.
According to property investors, Gary and Jenny Leather, focus is an important element of their success and a piece of advice they offer new property investors. Stop your mind from wandering by focusing on your goals.
Invisibility
Business success requires effort, dedication and sacrifice. But lets face it - you don't want to be working hard for your entire business career.
Margaret Lomas, founder of Destiny Group, says "when you start a business of your own, your first goal should be to get out of it." Your success of your business should not deteriorate when you are not there. This is the difference between being 'self-employed' and being 'in business.' So, your first goal in business should be to make yourself invisible.
Flight
While it is important to pay attention to detail, ensure that you also consider the big picture. This may require you to stand back or adopt a bird's eye view of your business.
Douglas Foo, founder of Apex-Pal International, understands that it is not only important to have a big picture of your company, but also "a good overall picture of the developments and changes in the world and how these changes affect the company."
Danger Sense
Successful people are able to see danger in advance. Their ability to detect challenges and obstacles before they occur allow them to make decisions and take the necessary action to avoid complications.
Brad Sugars, Action International Chairman, believes that in today's business world everything is about handling change. He says "be proactive and know what's going to happen because you're the one making it happen."
Incredible Strength
To operate a business, you will require incredible strength. There will be times when you need to go beyond the call of duty to achieve your goals and overcome the challenges and obstacles that impede your path to success.
In 2001, Cleanevent founder, Craig Lovett, made a mistake that almost resulted in the loss of everything, including his business and house. Craig demonstrated extraordinary strength in rebuilding his business and he is now considered one of the most experienced event and venue cleaning and waste strategy experts in the world.
Super Stretch
Do not be afraid to stretch beyond your comfort zone. When you move outside your comfort zone you will experience fear, but from that fear you will grow and achieve success.
Property investor, Peter Comben, was employed as a primary school teacher for sixteen years before he realised that he was in a comfort zone. In an effort to challenge himself and stretch his abilities, Peter left his job and pursued his passion for property.
In Summary
If you want to soar over destruction and mayhem to achieve great heights, then perhaps it's time for you to start using superpowers that will be productive for your business. Determine what you want to achieve then decide what undies go best with your tie or blouse, because when it comes to business there is nothing wrong with wearing your underwear on the outside.
