Are you on a constant Yo Yo in Life?


Why do you come to class 1 week and not the next ?  
Why do you loose weight and then put it back on ?
Why do you say one thing and do another ?

These are all signs of yo-yo behavior, the very thing that we are trying to get rid of.

In order to overcome it, we must understand it and we must recognise it in ourselves as well. I bet if you dig deep, you will find an area of your family life or business where you jump from one thing to another but never really get anything done. In these situations, we are very easily influenced by what others say and do, we can be motivated to have what they have, demotivated that we have it and we don't, inspired, sceptical, there is a roller coaster of emotion attached to the things that we are not fully committed to or confident with.

At this time we really should not overlook our key strengths. Those things that are so natural to us, we take them for granted.


Here Douglas Idugboe reveals the 7 traits that we need to be aware of in our current society.  See if you can identify your strengths and weaknesses. 


The Leader - A leader leads by example and influences others. However, leadership is also a two-way sword. A leader can influence others to follow/ obey him. On the other hand, it's easy to get intimidated by a leader's aura and maintain some distance. Therefore, being a leader can have varying influence on various people.
  
The Winner - Winners are the been-there-done-that individuals and businesses. They've established a name for themselves by sheer virtue of their achievements. In most cases, they'll have a positive influence on others influencing them to achieve more.
  
The Innovator - An innovator influences others by the virtue of his out of the box thinking. He's a person who doesn't follow run-of-the-mill stuff and somebody whom you can associate with producing the next big game changer in any field.

 The Believer - A believer stands firm by what he believes is correct. He's a person who can make others believe in him by the sheer virtue of his strong thinking. However, a believer must match his beliefs with action.

The Follower - A follower is someone who looks up to others for guidance. He's more likely to be influenced by others. A follower can in turn influence others by his words or actions.

The Caregiver - A quick look at human history testifies that most people are likely to be influenced by those who care for them. Whether its individuals or a business which cares about its customers, those who take good care of others are likely to be influential.

The Visionary - A visionary is one who thinks beyond the obvious and acts beyond the conventional. He has no fear and influences others with his far-sighted vision.

Set yourself 10 Goals(either in family or work life or both) to achieve before Christmas and put them in your iPhone or pin them to your fridge.Set yourself a target of achieving 1 goal per day or week and then cross them off as you reach your target.
