Speaking Photo 1 7 POWERFUL Ways That Will Transform Your Decision Making Results Productive, action oriented, efficient people are skilled decision makers ~ John Salkowski

Being a productive, functional human being in today’s world, one must continuously make appropriate decisions in life. We all know good from bad, right from wrong and in order for something to be considered a decision, one must actualize it. Being able to actualize on something you thought of doing makes you an efficient & productive person.

Below are 7 Powerful ways that will transform your decision making results that will not only enhance the quality of your life but also allow you to take better control of your life. Being able to make better decisions provides us with the benefit of independence, helps us to accomplish more things in life which ultimately will bring more happiness and success into our lives.

1. Improve your self-confidence ~ Believing in yourself is an important aspect of making better decisions. Building your confidence is like building a muscle. You must practice making difficult decisions in order to build your self-confidence.

2. Start with the end in mind ~ What result do you want to accomplish? Start from there and work back.

3. Avoid over thinking ~ Analyze the situation, however do not allow your analyses to cause paralyses. Give yourself a certain amount of time and when that time is up, make your decision.

4. Act on your decision immediately ~ After making your decision, act on it immediately to avoid changing your mind or doubting yourself. This will strengthen your decision making muscle.

5. Do not be afraid to make split-second decisions ~ There will be times when you don’t have time to analyze a situation. Allow your life experience, knowledge and training to kick in. Making split-second decisions doesn’t mean you’re irresponsible. It means you are confident in your decision making abilities.

6. Make your own decisions ~ Avoid letting others make decisions for you as this can and will be crippling in the long run. This is a perfect way of deteriorating your decision making muscle. It’s fine if you want to take others opinions into consideration, however the ultimate decision is yours to take.

7. Stick to your decision ~ Avoid the blame game or guilt trip with yourself once you’ve made a decision. Stick to your decision and trust you made the right choice. This skill set will impact your ability to make better decisions in the future.

Decision making means, in the last analysis, the substitution of thought for brawn and muscle, of knowledge for folkways and superstition, and of cooperation for force. It means the substitution of responsibility for obedience to rank, and of authority of performance for the authority of rank. Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision ~ Peter F. Drucker

Top 5 Decisions You Must Make Right Now to Living a Good Life Before It’s Too Late

May 14, 2013 John R Salkowski, John Salkowski, John Salkowski International No comments

CapeMaySummer2010 029 Top 5 Decisions You Must Make Right Now to Living a Good Life Before Its Too Late
Living a good life is a decision, a process. It’s a direction not a destination ~ John Salkowski

We all go through life with the blinders on. We get up every morning to go to work, come home from work, eat, watch television, go to bed and start the process over the next morning. This process goes on & on & on for years. Before we know it, we look back and say where has all the time gone. Too often, it takes something serious to happen in our lives to stop and smell the roses. Our families, our loved ones, our health, our friends and our relationships. Too often we put the money, the house, the car, and the personal belongings ahead of what truly matters. All that stuff doesn’t matter in the end. What matters in the end is living a good life. Being present each and every moment. Not missing out on those special events such as the ball game, the rehearsal, the play, the birthday and the friendly gatherings. We must live each day with the thought at the forefront of our minding of what truly matters most.

Here are the Top 5 decisions you can make right now to improve your life immediately & live with no regrets

1. Courage: To live a life true to yourself, not the life others expected of you.

Courage is said to be the most common regret of all. When people realize that their life is almost over and look back on it, it’s easy to see how many dreams go unfulfilled. Most people go through life not honoring or fulfilling most of their dreams. Live your life knowing that you made good choices, good use of your time with what matters most. Don’t go to your death bed with the regrets that you made poor decisions throughout your life. It’s very important to honor some of your dreams along the way. Don’t allow losing your health to be a wakeup call. It’ll be too late. Our health brings us a freedom very few realize, until they no longer have it.

2. Work: Take time for what matters most

Working hard is said to be the second most common regret of all. Don’t miss out on your children’s events or your partner’s companionship. Put work aside and forget about everything else. By simplifying your lifestyle and making conscious decisions along the way, it’s possible to not need as much income that you think you do. This can and will create more space in your life. By doing this, you become happier and more open to new opportunities, ones more suited to your new lifestyle.

3. Express Yourself: Be you, everyone else is taking

Many people suppress their feelings in order to keep peace with others. They settle for a mediocre existence and never become who they’re truly destined and capable of becoming. Don’t allow this to create unwanted stress, health issues, bitterness and resentment in your life. We cannot and will not control the reactions of others. People will react when you change the way you are by speaking openly and honestly. In the end, it will either raise the relationship to a whole new and healthier level or it’ll release you of the unhealthy relationships from your life. Either way, you win.

4. Friendships & Loved Ones: Cherish & nourish the people that matter most in your life

Sometimes we don’t realize the full benefits of our friends, families and loved ones until its too late. We get so caught up in our own lives that we allow what truly matters most to pass us by. It’s so common for anyone with a busy lifestyle to let this happen. But when you are faced with an unknown illness or that of a loved one it’s usually too late. Is it the money or status that holds the true importance for us? Of course not, however we allow it too but don’t realize we do until it’s too late. It all comes down to the love and relationships in the end. That’s all that remains in the final weeks of our lives, the love and relationships we have for each other.

5. Be Happy & Foolish: Have fun, laugh & be stupid

We don’t realize that happiness is a decision and/or a choice we make. We often stay stuck in our old patterns and habits. The so-called “comfort” of familiarity we all know so very well. Fear of change has us pretending to others, and to ourselves, that we’re content. When deep within, we long to laugh, be silly, act stupid. Too often we don’t recognize this until it’s too late. When we’re on our deathbed, what others think of us won’t matter. So let go, be happy, be foolish and stupid long before you’re dying.

Thank you, dear God, for this good life and forgive us if we do not love it enough. Thank you for the rain and for the chance to wake up in three hours and go fishing: I thank you for that now, because I won’t feel so thankful then ~ Garrison Keillor

Life is a choice. It’s our life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, and choose honestly on how you live your life at this very moment. Live your life with no regrets.

Successful Leaders are Split-Second Decision Makers: Top 11 Things Leaders Do Everyday

April 2, 2013 Achieve Success Academy, John R Salkowski, John Salkowski, John Salkowski International No comments

tell me about a time when you had to make a split second decision Successful Leaders are Split Second Decision Makers: Top 11 Things Leaders Do EverydayTrue leadership is being able to make important, accurate decisions while under pressure ~ John Salkowski

Leadership is learned behavior that becomes unconscious and automatic over time. Often, many people wonder how leaders make the best decisions, under immense pressure. The process of making these decisions comes from an accumulation of experiences and encounters with a multitude of difference circumstances, personality types and unforeseen failures. The most successful leaders are instinctual (or as I like to call it, split-second decision makers). Having made split-second decisions so many times throughout my career, I became immune to the pressure associated with decision making and extremely intuitive about the process of making the most strategic and best decisions. This is why the most successful Entrepreneurs/Executives/CEO’s will tell you they depend strongly upon their “gut feeling” when making difficult decisions at a split-second notice.

It goes beyond decision making. Successful leaders become learned and instinctual over a period of time. Successful leaders have learned the mastery of anticipating patterns, finding opportunities in pressure situations. No wonder why the best leaders are paid so much money. In 2011, salaries for the 200 top-paid CEO’s rose 5 percent to a median $14.5 million per year, according to an independent study.

Here are the Top 11 Things Successful Leaders do every day:

1) Make Decisions ~ Successful leaders are expert decision makers. They either empower others to reach a strategic conclusion or they do it themselves. They focus on “making things happen” at all times – decision making activities that sustain progress. Successful leaders have mastered the art of negotiations and don’t waste their time on issues that disrupt momentum. They know how to make split-second decisions when the stuff hits the fan.

2) Communication Experts ~ Successful leaders are great communicators and this is especially true when it comes to “performance expectations.” In doing so, they ensure that their vision is properly translated and actionable.

3) Challenge People to Think ~ The most successful leaders understand others mindsets, capabilities and areas for improvement. They use this insight to challenge them to think and stretch them to achieve for more. These types of leaders excel in challenging people and enabling them with the tools and knowledge to grow.

4) Lead by Example ~ Leading by example sounds easy, but it’s not. Successful leaders practice what they preach and are mindful of their actions. They know everyone is watching them and therefore are incredibly intuitive about detecting those who are observing their every move.

5) Measure & Reward Performance ~ Great leaders always have a strong “pulse” on performance and those people who are the performance champions. Successful leaders never take consistent performers for granted and are mindful of rewarding them.

6) Have a Mentor ~ Successful leaders ask questions and seek advice all the time. From the outside, they may appear to know-it-all – yet on the inside, they have a deep thirst for knowledge and constantly are on the look-out to learn new things because of their commitment to making themselves better through the wisdom of others.

7) Avoid Procrastination & Problem Solve ~ Successful leaders tackle issues head-on and know how to discover the heart of the matter at hand. They don’t procrastinate and thus become incredibly proficient at problem solving; they learn from and don’t avoid uncomfortable circumstances (they welcome them). Getting ahead in life is about doing the things that most people don’t like doing.

8) Positive Energy & Attitude ~ Successful leaders create a positive and inspiring atmosphere. They know how to set the tone and bring an attitude that motivates people to take action. As such, they are likeable, respected and strong willed. They don’t allow failures to disrupt momentum.

9) Be a Great Teacher ~ Successful leaders never stop teaching because they are so self-motivated to learn themselves. Successful leaders take the time to mentor others.

10) Invest in Relationships ~ Successful leaders don’t focus on protecting their domain – instead they expand it by investing in mutually beneficial relationships. Successful leaders associate themselves with “lifters and other leaders” – the types of people that can broaden their sphere of influence.

11) Genuinely Enjoy Responsibilities ~ Successful leaders love being leaders – not for the sake of power but for the meaningful and purposeful impact they can create. Leadership – it’s about your ability to serve others and this can’t be accomplished unless you genuinely enjoy what you do.

In the end, successful leaders are able to sustain their success because these 11 things ultimately allow them to increase the value of others. They serve as the enablers of talent, culture and results.

Split-Second Decisions: 5 Secrets That Will Make You More Successful

March 9, 2013 Achieve Success Academy, John R Salkowski, John Salkowski, John Salkowski International No comments

imagesCAPNHHGU Split Second Decisions: 5 Secrets That Will Make You More SuccessfulMaking precise, articulate split-second decisions is one of life’s most important learnable skills ~ John R. Salkowski

When you hear about making split-second decisions who and what comes to mind? When ask this question, the answer I always hear is Police Officers have to make these types of decisions. The scenario I always get is “when to shoot or not to shoot”. Yes, this is true however making split-second decisions applies to everyone from all walks of life.

The skill that everyone must master is how to think on your feet regardless of whether it’s a life or death situation. Making precise split-second decisions is a skill that is learnable and if you want success in your life than you must master this skill.

Making precise decisions is a huge part of life and learning to ask the right questions in preparation for these scenarios is among the top ten life skills we must learn. We base most of our decisions in life on the answers we receive. This is because thinking people like to make informed choices. We like to weigh the information we gather so we can choose the best option. However, this is not always possible. There will be times that we need to make a decision in a blink of an eye.

Since leaving my police career some 7 years ago and entering the entrepreneurial world, these split-second decisions apply to this world just as much as the police world. The one thing I have learned is that decisive people, people that can think on their feet and make precise, articulate, accurate decisions are far more successful than those that cannot. If you ever studied the DISC Personality Assessment majority of the most successful people in the world are of the “D” and “I” personalities. Now of course there are exceptions such as Bill Gates and Warren Buffet who have high “C” personalities. To learn more about the DISC Personality Assessment go to http://www.discprofile.com/whatisdisc.htm

Here are 5 Split-Second Decision Secrets That Will Make You More Successful:

1) Create an Urgency of Readiness: When I think of readiness, I think of a gazelle that’s always on the lookout, excited and eager for that next attack. Readiness is that anticipation to engage and the willingness to make tough decisions on a continuous basis.

2) Use Your Unique Aptitude: Be aware of your surroundings at all times or as I like to call it situational awareness. Situational awareness is often studied in the context of leadership and roles involving time-critical applications.

3) Utilize Your Life Experiences: Put into practice what you have experienced throughout your life. We learn more from our failings than we do from our winnings. Put these experiences to use when making difficult decisions.

4) Adapt to The Environment: Immediately identify with the situation. Once the patterns are identified, analyze the data to identify the questions that must be answered in order to make the best decision.

5) Take Immediate Action: Now is the time to play out the decision and immediately engage with the information you have. Always, always maintain your situational awareness.

In order to dramatically increase the probability of your success, you must have the fortitude and willingness to make tough precise decisions quickly by implementing these 5 split-second decision secrets.

If you want long lasting success in your life, you must make powerful change during the make-it-or-break-it moments which come down to the split-second decisions you make ~ John R. Salkowski

The Decision Making of a Champion: Ray Lewis Decides to Retire After 17 Seasons

January 7, 2013 Achieve Success Academy No comments

127898662 The Decision Making of a Champion: Ray Lewis Decides to Retire After 17 SeasonsYou will NOT become what you’re destined to become until you first make the DECISION to become – John R. Salkowski

After 17 seasons, Ray Lewis with the Baltimore Ravens who has defined the team’s defensive excellence announced his decision to retire Wednesday, telling teammates that “this will be my last ride.”

What made Ray Lewis’ decision to retire so easy for him? After 17 seasons and 37 years old he still has what it takes to play the middle linebacker position like an All-Pro.

Ray Lewis told his teammates and media, “I just feel so much peace in where I am with my decision because of everything I’ve done in this league. There’s no accolade that I don’t have individually but I’ve never played the game for individual stats. I’ve only played the game to make my team be a better team.”

“Now, God is calling,” Lewis said. “God is calling in so many other areas of life and my children have made the ultimate sacrifice for their father, the ultimate for 17 years. Whether it’s jump on the plane, jump right back, go to school, and I don’t want to see them do no more. I’ve done what I wanted to do in this business and now, it’s my turn to give them back something. It’s either hold onto the game or keep playing or let my kids miss out on times we could be sharing together. I promised my son if he got a full-ride scholarship, Daddy was going to be there. I can’t miss that. I don’t know if I could sit in a meeting room and fight with that war.”

Ray Lewis describes above his “Why” on making the decision to retire. It all begins and ends with our “Why”. His decision was made from his “gut” or as some call it, his “inter-voice talking” to him. If you want to be great at whatever you do, you must first have a “Why”. His “Why” 17 seasons ago was to be the best middle linebacker to ever play the game. He played every game with heart, enthusiasm, energy, passion and the will to win.

17 seasons later his “Why” is his children. He now wants to be there for them. After all the years of their sacrifice and adversity they have been through, he’s now saying it’s his turn.

Lewis, who had been the NFL’s longest tenured defensive player with his original team, leaves the Ravens and the sport with a résumé that puts him in the conversation as one of the best middle linebackers in NFL history, and a lock for the Hall of Fame.

He was selected for 13 Pro Bowl teams, tabbed as an Associated Press All-Pro 10 times, garnered NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors twice and was named the Super Bowl XXXV MVP after the Ravens’ triumph over the New York Giants.

Do You Have What it Takes to Make Important Split-Second Decisions?

July 23, 2012 Achieve Success Academy No comments

imagesCA5CPZRJ Do You Have What it Takes to Make Important Split Second Decisions?The better your skills and critical thinking are, coupled with training and quickness, the more prepared you will be to make sound split-second decisions.~John R. Salkowski

Making Split-Second Decisions, Do You Have What it takes?

Making split-second decisions in life and in business is a requirement. There are several important factors that must come together in order to accurately and quickly articulate your present situation. Your knowledge, experience, education, training, intuition, confidence and common-sense are all factors that play an important role in making split-second decisions.

When you are called upon to make a split-second decision what happens? Do you freeze? Do you panic? There are situations, such as life or death, which we may be encountered with where you cannot afford to freeze or panic. Split-second decision making requires all of the above factors to come together in order to make the right decision.

There will be times that you will be faced with an important decision where there is no room for error. You must make the right decision at the right time to avoid a catastrophe. Here are some examples: avoiding a car crash, pilots with mechanical failure, military combat, Police Officer faced with an armed and dangerous suspect or anything else requiring immediate decision making. You may think these examples are extreme but let me tell you this, if you are not prepared when that time comes, you are dead on your feet. You will be required at one time or another to make a blink of an eye split-second decision in your life.

Making split-second decisions requires “razor sharp” skill sets. You must continually work on your skills to better prepare for the “blink of the eye” split-second decision. What better way to prepare for situations such as this is to face real problems, facing the risks, making irrevocable decisions head-on. Stop avoiding these situations. Making important, split-second decisions separates the successful from the unsuccessful, leaders from the followers, etc. You get my point. Below, I will put split-second decision making into perspective for most of you.

Most likely everyone reading this has a child or a loved-one that they cherish. What better way to teach that person to make important decisions that could possibly affect the rest of their life is by honing your skill sets on making important, critical, blink of eye split-second decisions. We, as parents cannot be with our children 24/7. There comes a time when we must allow them to spread their wings and fly solo. What better way to prepare yourself for that moment in time is to face your most important decisions head-on so you can teach from example.
