<p>You are reading this blog because, like most business owners, you want to achieve a state of flow for your business. In other words, you want to be highly productive and engaged with your work. But you can&#8217;t do this if there are processes and systems in your business that are outdated or inefficient, if someone on your team isn&#8217;t engaged in their job or doesn&#8217;t seem happy with the work they do, or if there are places where manual processes take up too much time.</p>
<p>Before I share more, let me thank you for beign a valued subscriber and reading my blog. I trust my previous articles inspired you to take one positive action that makes you a more authentic individual, partner, business owner or leader in your field of expertise.</p>
<h2>Do you have a business growing about 5% annually, and would you like to extend it faster?</h2>
<p>If you answered yes, you&#8217;re in the right place at the right time. This article&#8217;s topic is for business owners who want to grow their businesses faster by unleashing the power of flow in their lives and businesses. It is written specifically for those with a company growing about 5% to 50% annually or less and who want to grow more and expand faster.</p>
<h2>Do you have an employee who doesn&#8217;t seem engaged in their work?</h2>
<p>If so, there are three things you need to consider:</p>
<ul>
<li>Why is it important to have engaged employees?</li>
<li>Whom can I hire that can turn an employee&#8217;s mindset around?</li>
<li>What short, medium and long-term business benefits coaching and training employees can help you achieve?</li>
</ul>
<p>An engaged employee will likely be valuable to your company and help drive business growth. However, disengaged employees are more than just a drag on productivity—they can also negatively affect morale and cause other problems within the workplace. Their negativity can quickly spread amongst other employees, and your company culture becomes toxic before you know it. To ensure that all of your workers are engaged in their jobs, here&#8217;s what you need to know:</p>
<ul>
<li>What makes your employers tick and go beyond and above the duties written in their job description</li>
<li>What sits at the root cause of employee unhappiness</li>
</ul>
<h2>Are there systems in your business that are outdated or inefficient?</h2>
<p>You must be aware of the importance of systems in your business. These are the foundation on which your entire organisation is built, and if they&#8217;re not fit for purpose or outdated, they could cost you millions of dollars every year.</p>
<p>Systems that are not automated are not only inefficient but also hard to scale. They require manual employee intervention, bogging down productivity and adding unnecessary costs to your bottom line. Systems that aren&#8217;t integrated with other systems across departments can cause friction between teams because of a lack of communication or collaboration between them—and this could lead to errors and mistakes that further dent efficiency and productivity levels within an organisation as a whole.</p>
<p>Additionally, systems that aren&#8217;t scalable can become costly over time because they cannot increase capacity when demand increases (for example, an understaffed call centre). Systems that aren&#8217;t secure can leave sensitive data exposed to hackers looking for ways into a company&#8217;s network infrastructure so they can steal sensitive information like credit card numbers or private customer details; this is especially important now, given the rise in cyber-attacks making headlines around the world lately!</p>
<h2>Are there places where manual processes are taking up too much of your time or your employees&#8217; time?</h2>
<p>The CEO of a start-up company approached me on LinkedIn and asked me if I had any advice to help him grow his company&#8217;s turnover to a million and then to ten million and above. I responded by saying it is a disservice to me to give such advice without knowing the ins and outs of his business and advised him to stay away from people who do. Truthfully, I expected not to hear from him, but to my surprise, he said: Tony, you are right; how about I book you for a day of business coaching, and we can discuss the next steps afterwards.</p>
<p>Fast forward, having spent the entire day in his business, I helped him identify over one hundred manual tasks and processes that can be automated. This exercise on its own reduced the mundane tasks different teams were doing and freed up valuable employee time that we redirected to other high-priority profit-generating tasks. We are on year two of my &#8220;Reboot Your Business&#8221; Coaching Program, and so far, as his coaching partner, I&#8217;ve helped my client triple his business by creating a business flow state.</p>
<p>So, make sure you invest time and resources to do a business flow test, process and task MOT regularly; your business can grow when you use your and employees&#8217; time efficiently.</p>
<p>The next question you may want to ponder with is:</p>
<h2>Are you consistently generating new leads for your business?</h2>
<p>How to become oversubscribed and have a constant flow of leads is something every entrepreneur, solopreneur, and business of all sizes wants. To grow your business and generate more leads, it&#8217;s wise to focus on nurturing existing and bringing in new customers. If you are already successfully doing this and are yielding excellent results, keep it up! But if you&#8217;re not sure how to get started, here are eight things that can help:</p>
<ul>
<li>Consider delegating this to a lead generation service with an excellent track record.</li>
<li>In-house implementation of marketing automation tools (like lead generation).</li>
<li>Website optimisation for search engine optimisation (SEO) and conversion rate optimisation (CRO).</li>
<li>Do your email marketing or hire someone who can do that for you.</li>
<li>Do targeted social media marketing.</li>
<li>Share your expertise on T.V., Radio, and Podcast interviews.</li>
<li>Consider writing a book.</li>
<li>Hire a coach.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you want to optimise the performance of your website and drive more traffic through SEO, CRO, and other digital strategies like content marketing or social media ads—but aren&#8217;t sure where to start—a professional SEO agency may be able to help.</p>
<p>Be warned,</p>
<p>There are thousands of people offering the above services; before you choose one, do your due diligence. Last year, in good faith, I appointed Cory Michael Sanchez, the founder of <a href="https://mojoglobal.com/">Mojo Global</a>, to do my lead generation. After three months of experiencing issue after issue and not delivering on the promise of at least ten prequalified leads a week, I decided to stop.</p>
<p>From the outset, the deal was that if they didn&#8217;t deliver on a minimum of ten leads a week, they would refund 100% of the money. In the first month, hundreds of issues raised the first alarm bell. They delivered just one lead and were promised to provide the rest in months two and three. In the second month, they had only three tips, and in the third month, only one. None of the five people they booked was leads; they were opportunist calls asking for investment, and none even thought of investing in coaching.</p>
<p>The moral of the story, choose wisely what lead generation service would get you the results you want for your business. Over the years, I have built a seven-figure coaching and training business not with sophisticated automation but by authentically sharing knowledge that took me over thirty years to acquire in all of my books, rewarding clients and people who do referrals, and sharing life and business transforming insights on T.V., Radio and Podcast interviews. Some of the best clients came from reading my social media posts, watching my YouTube videos, and personally connecting and answering their questions.</p>
<p>Another question to ponder is this&#8230;</p>
<h2>How would you rate your mindset regarding your business and the people who work in it?</h2>
<p>Your mindset affects your emotions and actions, affecting your behaviour and results. Your mindset is a choice you make every day. When you develop the growth mindset for achieving business success, it will help you achieve more than ever before.</p>
<p>Suppose you are experiencing difficulty or challenge in your business or personal life. In that case, this could be because of an unproductive or negative mindset holding back your potential for growth and success.</p>
<p>Here are some tips to help improve your current mindset:</p>
<ul>
<li>Know the difference between fixed and growth mindset. A <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JDU8QS6/">Path to Wisdom</a> book offers some great exercises you can do daily.</li>
<li>Identify what are your default responses when you get challenged.</li>
<li>Read at least one hour a day on a subject that inspires you</li>
</ul>
<p>Another way to improve flow in your company is to ask the following question regularly:</p>
<h2>Does everyone in your company know your core values and how they translate into their day-to-day jobs?</h2>
<p>Core values are the foundation of your company. They&#8217;re what make it unique, and they&#8217;re why people stay with you long-term. Core values also make your company attractive to prospective employees and partners, so everyone in the organisation must know them inside out.</p>
<p>You can&#8217;t just have a document somewhere; they need to be ingrained in everything you do as an organisation. That way, when someone is considering working with or buying from you, they know what they&#8217;re getting into—and why they should choose you over other companies with similar offerings (but different core values).</p>
<p>After assisting a business owner in clarifying his core personal, business, and employee values and aligning them with their day-to-day jobs, his company achieved ten times more growth than any previous years.</p>
<h2>Did you answer these questions and get a mixed bag of yeses and nos?</h2>
<p>Maybe some of the answers weren&#8217;t what you expected. If so, don&#8217;t worry! This is just a simple test to see where your focus should be to achieve optimal flow for your business.</p>
<p>If you answered yes to most of these questions, then you&#8217;re on the right track. That means you know what creates value in your business and what can make it more productive, profitable and sustainable over time. But if most of them were noes instead…then it might be time for some changes!</p>
<h2>The five-step method of <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Unfakeable-Code%C2%AE-Control-Authentically-Freely/dp/3991073854">The Unfakeable Code®</a> can help you find a flow state for your business to generate more revenue, have authentic employees, and get more done.</h2>
<p>The state of flow is a great way to get more done, have authentic leaders and employees, and generate more revenue for your business.</p>
<p>But what is flow?</p>
<p>Flow is a state of consciousness in which you are entirely immersed in an activity for such prolonged periods that you lose track of time and self-consciousness. In other words, when people are in the flow state, they fully engage in their work or activities while focusing on the task.</p>
<p>When someone enters into this state, they become so absorbed by their actions that they get lost in what they&#8217;re doing; this often results from matching one&#8217;s skills with challenges beyond them—it can be more complex than it appears but still possible if approached correctly. The result? You&#8217;ll perform at your highest potential!</p>
<p>By learning how to harness the power behind flow states now instead of later down the line &#8212; after investing money into training programs &#8212; companies will boost productivity by improving workers&#8217; problem-solving abilities and creativity levels, thus increasing overall success rates across multiple industries worldwide.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>When you think about the word flow, what comes to mind? If you said something like &#8220;a state of being that is full of energy and enthusiasm,&#8221; you&#8217;re on the right track.</p>
<p>Flow is about being in the moment and having a growth and inspiring mindset around your business. Finding this state can be very beneficial for growth because your employees will become more engaged with their work and do it better, leading to higher productivity and performance levels. You may also generate new leads more easily because these folks tend to be more receptive when they feel good about themselves at work!</p>
<p>Those of you engaged in high-stress performance, business productivity, and purpose missions who are ready to turn their personal and business challenges, frustrations, and pains into breakthroughs, stepping stones, and a state of flow, do reach out to my team at <a href="http://mailto:info@tonyselimi.com/">info@tonyselimi.com</a> to book &#8220;Let&#8217;s Reboot My Business&#8221; coaching session. Together, we will work on identifying business bottlenecks and turn them into opportunities for greater levels of growth and achievement.</p>
<p>There are no shortcuts to creating a flow in your business; it takes determination and dedication to make it happen!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Tony J. Selimi <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/why-unleashing-the-power-of-transformational-leadership-matters/">Why Unleashing The Power of Transformational Leadership Matters</a> <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/author/admin/">Tony J. Selimi</a><p>Dear growth seeker,</p>
<p>Thank you for choosing to invest your time in reading this article about the importance of transformative leadership and growing the most precious asset you will ever possess &#8211; <strong>You.</strong></p>
<p>So many of you have messaged me here on my website, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook and on WhatsUp to ask me to share some insights on the recent most spoken two topics that affect every human being &#8211; Will Smith&#8217;s violent response after the comedian Chris Rock made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith which not only shocked the live audience at the Oscars but also sparked media attention around the world and the invasion of Ukraine. So I decided to write this article and share my thoughts in a way that can start the so needed leadership conversations not only in every business and organisation but also in governments around the world.</p>
<p>Both incidents mentioned above are great examples of the destructive power of our inability to control ourselves when emotions, biases, and judgment get the best of us. Perhaps it is time to shape the narratives around the kind of distraction we as human beings and what Authoritarian and Transactional Leadership are capable of. But it is also a great example of how the same distraction can create a rippling effect of uniting leaders to step up and focus on the safety, growth and protection of their people and the very same foundation upon which democracy is built.</p>
<p>The Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelensky, a former actor and comedian who became the sixth and incumbent president of Ukraine, is an excellent example of the traits of Transformational Leadership. He rose to the challenges he as an individual faced when the war in Ukraine started, but he also managed to mobilise his people to fight one of the strongest armies in the world and managed to galvanise the EU and NATO leaders to step up their game.</p>
<p>The truth is&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Transformational leaders are focused on the safety, wellbeing, growth and development of their people. They set clear expectations, honour commitments, and keep their employees accountable to goals. Transformational leadership has been shown to result in higher morale, decreased turnover, greater motivation (both for the leader and for team members), more innovation and creativity, increased productivity, better communication between employees and management, improved performance in high-stress situations (such as emergencies), increased trust among employees and higher earnings for the company as a whole.</strong></p>
<p>As an employee or a manager, you&#8217;re already great at hitting your deadlines, completing projects on time and under budget, and maintaining positive relationships with your direct reports. But when there&#8217;s a big, hairy project that needs to be completed—like launching a new product or implementing an organisational change—that&#8217;s where you fall short. You feel like you&#8217;re spinning your wheels trying to rally the troops. You don&#8217;t know what steps to take to get out of this rut and gain traction.</p>
<p>One of the main benefits to use coaching, training, and development as an empowering tool to activate leadership in everyone in your organisation is this:</p>
<p><strong>Transformational Leaders Are Excellent at Asking Quality Questions and at Listening.</strong></p>
<p>They ask questions to understand how people feel about a situation. They ask questions to help people get to the root of a complex problem. They ask questions to help people find solutions. They ask questions that help <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/five-vital-steps-successful-people-use-to-help-master-your-life/">people move forward in life</a>, whether it is by identifying their blind spots or providing direction and inspiration for a new way forward.</p>
<p>What better way to transform your people than by asking questions that will help them think outside the box, consider new perspectives and improve their performance, decision-making and communication?</p>
<p>For instance, in The Unfakeable Code®, I share more about what questions could you ask your people to help them rethink their approach to a provocation or a project? What questions could you ask them to encourage them to take off the mask and be open to exploring new ideas or looking at things differently? What questions could you ask that would help them make more effective decisions? Or communicate more effectively with customers or colleagues?</p>
<p>Another reason to promote authentic leadership in your organisation is this:</p>
<p><strong>Transformational Leaders Are Excellent at Empowering Others.</strong></p>
<p>Empowerment is a simple concept to understand. It means giving people the freedom to make decisions and act on them. Empowerment is essential in an organisation since the manager won&#8217;t always be there to guide others, so they need to be empowered to make their own decisions.</p>
<p>Over the years, I have had the pleasure to <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/product/clarity-coaching-consultation/">coach and mentor businesses</a> from all market sectors and leaders of some of the fortune 500 companies to create a culture where empowerment thrives by building trust within the board,  teams, and every employee in the organisation. As we worked together on achieving their objectives, every client has realised <strong>how trust and empowerment go hand in hand;</strong> if you don&#8217;t trust someone, you&#8217;re unlikely to empower them with decision-making authority.</p>
<p>In our professional careers, we all come across transactional leaders and managers. They are perceived as inauthentic, dull, and unworthy of our trust because of how they act, behave, and treat the people they manage. Such leaders don&#8217;t get many opportunities to practice being exciting and original, so they stay disempowered.</p>
<p>With enough encouragement, coaching, and training, anyone can be anything. So why not invest in activating leadership across your entire organisation?</p>
<p><strong>Transformational Leaders Inspire Vision and Purpose.</strong></p>
<p>You may have heard the old saying, &#8220;dance like no one is watching.&#8221; Maybe you&#8217;ve said it yourself. Dancing like no one is watching has become a cliché for letting go, but what if it were more than just a feel-good adage?</p>
<p>What if dancing like no one was watching was the first step toward achieving something you want – dancing on Broadway, winning an Olympic medal, or just shedding a few pounds and feeling better about yourself?</p>
<p>Most <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/five-vital-steps-successful-people-use-to-help-master-your-life/">people are afraid to take that first step</a> because they&#8217;re worried about what other people will think. But we believe there&#8217;s a real opportunity to achieve your goals if you ignore everyone else and focus on what you want.</p>
<p><strong>Transformational Leaders Encourage Innovation.</strong></p>
<p>Good leaders are open-minded, and this openness is a crucial part of what makes them suitable. They&#8217;re willing to consider new ideas and ways, encouraging others to do the same. This makes it easier for their employees to think creatively, which can help the team address challenges or identify new opportunities.</p>
<p><strong>Transformational Leaders Set Challenging Goals.</strong></p>
<p>Transformational leaders set challenging goals and can mobilise people to achieve them. Volodymyr Zelensky, NATO and the EU are great examples of this. They also create a sense of urgency, setting deadlines and milestones to keep things on track. Finally, they empower followers by giving them the freedom to achieve the end in their way.</p>
<p>This doesn&#8217;t mean that you can say: &#8220;I have a great idea! We should build an Android Artificial Intelligence Powered phone!&#8221; Then hand the team a blank canvas, walk away and expect results. Setting challenging goals is essential but not enough; these leaders also ensure that followers understand their role in achieving the outcome and providing the necessary resources. Both NATO and the EU are giving Ukraine many resources to help them fight back Russia Invasion. And finally, they make sure team members have sufficient time for reflection to plan their next steps appropriately (rather than jumping from crisis to crisis).</p>
<p><strong>Transformational Leadership Assist in Creating Effective, Efficient and Energised Managers and Employees.</strong></p>
<p>In one of the companies, I was hired to assist them in addressing low productivity, poor performance, and high turnover staff issues. I observed how many did not like working for the company because they felt not listened to, not necessary, and did not want to face colleagues used to moaning, criticising, and bringing other people down. Their leaders were not listening to what everyone in the company felt, which many found to be demoralising and destructive.</p>
<p>What I did as their coaching partner was to clarify the behaviours that fuel transactional leadership and management and use it to:</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="Consulting, Coaching and Business Mentoring" href="https://tonyselimi.com/product/clarity-coaching-consultation/"><strong>Motivate and inspire staff to achieve their full potential</strong></a></li>
<li><strong>Build loyalty and trust</strong></li>
<li><strong>Create a positive and supportive environment</strong></li>
<li><strong>Encourage teamwork, innovation and collaboration</strong></li>
<li><strong>Set challenging and values-driven goals</strong></li>
<li><strong>Improve employee&#8217;s mental health, performance and wellbeing</strong></li>
<li><strong>Grow their reputation, productivity and profits</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>I love travelling the world and assisting others in creating transformational results. One thing that inspired me throughout my life to keep learning, growing, and sharing my gifts for the benefit of others is what my father, a successful restaurateur told me as I was growing up:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;My son, if you want your <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/events/master-class-learn-the-most-potent-secret-for-growing-6-9-figure-businesses/">business to grow, then assist others to grow</a> by leading by example.&#8221;</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Tony J. Selimi <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/suicide-a-wake-up-call/">Suicide – A Wake-Up Call</a> <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/author/admin/">Tony J. Selimi</a><p>It is unfortunate that only when we say goodbye to some of our best known and well-loved figures &#8211; from George Michael, Bill Paxton, Gorden Kaye, John Hurt, Tara Palmer to Carrie Fisher, Prince and David Bowie that we start to awaken to issues such as depression, suicide, and loneliness that affect almost every human being.</p>
<p>One of my favourite actors, Robin Williams, whose movies have inspired millions of people suffered from depression and hanged himself at the age of 63. The truth is it does not matter if you are rich and famous or poor and unknown, mental and emotionally triggered health problems if not addressed can force anyone down the path of where there is no return.</p>
<p>We mourn their passing and we hope they have found the peace in death that they could not find in life, but many <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/five-vital-steps-successful-people-use-to-help-master-your-life/">people continue to live their life</a> doing jobs they don’t love, remaining in relationships that suffocate them, and afraid of speaking their inner truth from the fear of being judged, criticised and rejected.</p>
<p>So many clients I have helped over the years have shared in their sessions with me why they tend to choose antidepressant, drugs, cigarettes and alcohol as their first choice to help them deal with stressors, pressures, and situations that cause them emotional harm.</p>
<p>As I take them on an inside out reflective journey, a shift to their mindset happens when they start to listen to the messages that are being communicated from their inner being through their behaviours, actions, and situations they find themselves in. Unfortunately, often people seek help when is either too late or when a physical illness takes over, instead of reaching out, they close down and drown themselves in an ocean of infinite loneliness, afraid to reach out and do something about it.</p>
<p>According to the facts published by the office of National Statistics the deaths suicide and other <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/events/mindfulness-the-medicine-for-physical-emotional-and-mental-wellness/">mental or emotionally</a> triggered illnesses caused, have risen to the point that if you are a man between 20 and 49, you&#8217;re more likely to die from suicide than cancer, road accidents or heart disease.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Suicide is the number one killer and the biggest threat both men and women face. The figures are chilling, and yet still it is something companies do little about, we hardly discuss in media, in public or in our private lives— which is a significant part of the problem itself.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>But the statistics are clear, so are the insights from the problems that thousands of people I have helped across the world share with me. The problem has become too big for us to ignore. The question to be asked now is not just why executives, celebrities, and young men are killing themselves in record numbers, how are they joining terrorist groups that sway them to take their own lives, but what are we all going to do about it?</p>
<p>The thing people always want to know is: why? It is the why that encouraged the wife of a successful senior executive working for a bank in the City of London to send me the following private fb message:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“Dear Tony, we are not friends on fb, though I have been following your work for few years now. Your personal story through loneliness, bullying, and sexual abuse that you share in #Loneliness touched my soul. I felt as if you wrote the book just for me. The reason for contacting you is to see if your integrated work can help my husband and us as a family. In the last few months, due to work pressures, my husband who is a CEO of a multinational company has been struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, and having suicidal thoughts. We have tried conventional doctors who prescribed him antidepressants, gone through various therapists, and recently a friend of ours who speaks very highly of you and your integrated work asked me to get in touch and make sure I book a consultation for my husband and myself. From your fb posts I can see you are abroad, can I please book us both on your first available appointment when you are back in UK?”</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>I felt inspired to write this article after spending two hours with an incredible man who has achieved so many things in life, yet deep down he felt alone, unfulfilled, scared, and afraid to look me into my eyes.</p>
<p>Deep down, he knew that I could see his pain and the truth he was trying so hard to hide it. It reminded me of another client, Paul McMonagle, who today openly shares with the world how two years ago the consultation he had with me stopped him from committing suicide and put him on a journey to find cure to his twenty years of living with OCD and epilepsy.</p>
<p>Having helped thousands of men and women overcome various mental, emotional, <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/events/mindfulness-the-medicine-for-physical-emotional-and-mental-wellness/">physical health issues as well</a> as relationship, business, and financial challenges, I know that suicide and self-harm are not mental health problems themselves, but they are linked with mental distress, emotional pain, unmet expectations, deep rooted fears, and from not living ones authentic values and truth.</p>
<p>I know the effects of suicidal thoughts, this <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/books/loneliness-the-virus-of-the-modern-age/">virus of the modern age</a>, first hand. In 2009 I faced redundancy and other chained events that caused me emotional harm, distress, and a mental breakdown that lead me to contemplate suicide. Every decision I made back then was based on what others thought of me, it got me to a point where I saw no way out but to contemplate suicide, a real life story which I transparently share in my book #Loneliness-The Virus of The Modern Age.</p>
<p>I decided to write this article about the effects of suicide, depression, and mental health to not only raise awareness in the business, but also as a call for love to save <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/five-vital-steps-successful-people-use-to-help-master-your-life/">people from all walks of life</a> who too may currently be in a situation where they see no way out and causes them considerable emotional harm that drives them on a path that leads to what I call in my book #Loneliness, the caves of the wretched solitude.</p>
<p>Although there is no simple solution to reducing the number of people who take their own lives, here is Five Vital Steps from the TJS Evolutionary Method: ALARM<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> that you may want to take to help yourself or others who may be contemplating suicide.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Acknowledge</strong> to yourself or to others that you can trust a sudden change in behaviour. This is the first step to take in order to help yourself or others. We are born with all that we need to be able to identify the root cause of the changes that force us to create numerous coping mechanisms for the <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/when-youre-truly-authentic-theres-no-such-thing-as-my-feelings-have-power-over-me/">things in our life that cause us to feel</a> angry, depressed, and disappointed about. If online resources are not helping you, seek professional help from a Dr, therapist, coach, mentor, healer, or any other qualified person who can help you.</li>
<li><strong>Love</strong> heals, when we feel segregated from this life force we leave ourselves prone to all sort of attacks that can affect or auric, mental, emotional and physical body. Find ways to love the unlovable that causes you most distress. I use this very same technique to help thousands of clients free themselves from depression, anger, and self-harming actions.</li>
<li><strong>Achieve</strong> mental agility by looking to have a complete awareness of the situation that causes you to want to contemplate suicide or any other forms of self-harm. Our mind is what destroys or builds <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/events/from-emotional-rhapsody-to-perfect-health/">perfect health</a> in our body. Use the 25 conscious engineering steps of TJS Method<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> to transcend the thoughts that keep you stuck, question the beliefs and the values that are programmed from a very young age, and chose to upgrade your brains systems for living.</li>
<li><strong>Results</strong> are your creation, taking full responsibility of your life is the first step to awakening your inner doctor, genius, and scientists that can help you re engineer your reality.</li>
<li><strong>Miracles</strong> come to those who learn to listen to every communication that comes from their inner being. See suicidal thoughts as your wakeup call that puts you on a journey to align your values, beliefs, behaviours and daily actions with the dreams they are called to pursue.</li>
</ol>
<p>Finally, here is a quote I created to be a soothing balm for all of you who may be going through struggle, adversity, and may feel at times hopeless, alone, depressed and suicidal that you can use as a tool to help yourself or those in need.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;Careless words may kindle strife, but gracious words give hope, heal and save a life.&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Get involved by commenting and sharing which one of these vital principles resonates most with you or someone you may know that could benefit from this article.  Feel free to invite others to engage in a life changing dialogue that as the quote above says can give hope, heal and save a life.</p>
<p>Be authentic, wealthy, and healthy,</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Tony J. Selimi <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/women-the-new-james-bond-of-our-modern-times/">Women, The New James Bond of Our Modern Times</a> <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/author/admin/">Tony J. Selimi</a><p>More than ever the world needs emotionally intelligent, humanity focused, and heart awakened women leaders that play an important role in the evolution of human consciousness and in the direction the world we all share is taking.</p>
<p>With Brexit, Syrian refugee crisis, and the rise of unprecedented extremism, nationalism, fascism, phobias, antisemitism, islamophobia, etc, it is essential to have conscious women leaders who like James Bond, can overcome the toughest challenges presented to them and from the ashes rise triumphantly like a phoenix.</p>
<p>Many of us grew up with super heroes like James Bond, Captain America, Jean Luke Pickard, Superman, Wonder woman, Madonna, Lady Gaga, and Oprah being our hero’s that we aspire to become.</p>
<p>The time has come for us all to do our part and awaken the hero within, to take action, be engaged, and have our say in the global crisis that in one form or another impacts every human being.</p>
<p>I grew up in the ghettos of a small town called Gostivar in western Macedonia at times where daily I saw women being abused, judged, and had very little human rights. As I started to travel around the world, I realized, just like my mother, sisters, cousins, and other women I knew back at home, millions of women continue to be treated badly.</p>
<p>As a kid, I knew I was different, I felt the pain, the judgment, and the loneliness and the abuse that my mother and other women endured. Ever since I wanted to do something about it, this feeling to help women globally followed me through my entire life, and it is what also inspired me to be who I am today and in my latest <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/events/book-writing-retreat-lets-do-it-in-italy/">book write</a> about a global problem we all share-loneliness.</p>
<p>In my latest book #Loneliness-The Virus of The Modern Age, I share about the extraordinary work that mother Theresa did around the world. I also share what is at the source of the chaos, the storms, and the segregation we experience worldwide in an era that is technologically advanced yet makes us extremly lonely in our hearts.</p>
<p>To address the global problems such as famine, inequality, job losses, war, climate change, sustainability, etc, I believe more conscious women are required in order for humanity to find the <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/social-cognition-the-solution-to-global-problems/">solutions to the global problems</a> that are on the rise.</p>
<p>Women have an important role in building a more just, equal, and harmonious society, and in directing the course of the planet we all live, share, and call home.</p>
<p>My mother, together with my dad, fought for educating, empowering, and supporting my sisters to be free of religious and political dogmas that imprisoned women, treated them as non-equals, and enslaved them. Today, I continue to support their mission by carry this torch of light that my parent ignited in me.</p>

If we are to change the course of the future that we all want, then we all need to do our part in assisting women grow into beautiful goddesses who with their wings of love, compassion, and understanding can embrace the darkness experienced globally and turn it into light that shine&#8217;s humanity&#8217;s path to a better future.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Tony J. Selimi <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/how-to-break-the-illusion-of-not-being-good-enough/">How to Break the Illusion of Not Being Good Enough</a> <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/author/admin/">Tony J. Selimi</a><p>We are born whole, yet from the moment we come into this world we are constantly told by our parents, the religion in which we were born into, and the schools that we attend that we are not. We are programmed to constantly seek validation that we are good enough from external sources and create the illusion of not being good enough within ourselves.</p>
<p>The truth is, it is impossible to go through our childhood, teenage years, and adulthood without some situations or someone infecting you with the belief that you are not enough. That unless you do something that others want you to do, you are made to feel you are not worthy of love. It is precisely this feeling of unworthiness that it is the root cause of the many of the humanity’s problems such as illness, poverty, high divorce rates, rise in extremism, nationalism, phobia&#8217;s, etc.</p>
<p>This way of perceiving our reality from a place of not being good enough is extremely painful to our human experience and therefore we spend most of our lives trying to proof we are good enough.</p>
<p>The feeling of not being good enough is one of the major catalysts that changes, controls, and commands our behavior, attitude, and affects the quality of our life. It also impacts our self-esteem, self-worth, and in general our overall well-being.</p>
<p>If you are someone who is seeking a way out of your current situation and a way in into a new reality that is more favorable to you, then you may want to keep reading on. Reason being, I am going to share with you what one powerful practice you can do daily to fill the empty hole that you feel inside from within yourself.</p>
<p>In every coin there are two sides, similarly, for every negative emotion, there is the opposite positive emotion that in most cases we unconsciously do not acknowledge.</p>
<p>For instance, this feeling of not being good enough also has a positive side, it can drive us towards achieving some astronomical goal and inspire us to become legendary. For instance, my drive to proof to my parents that I am good enough helped me go from living homeless in the streets of London, to obtaining an Engineering degree at one of the UK’s prestigious university &#8211; University College London (UCL). It also drove me to climb the career ladder, become a successful entrepreneur, and internationally award-winning author of two books.</p>
<p>Having spent over twenty years doing personal, professional, and spiritual development, I know now that this is not the most optimal path to <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/the-mindset-billionaires-use-to-achieve-success/">achieving success</a>, wellness, and most importantly wholeness. Reason being, doing things in your life to disapprove the model of not being good enough comes with high cost, in worst cases it costs you your health, wealth, and most importantly your time.</p>
<p>This way of living your life is what makes you give your power away and become dependent on others to validate your worth. Daily I see many clients who come to me for a whole range of problems, from health related issues to relationship, money, business, or leadership challenges. Recently, a client of mine who is a successful CEO came to see me because he felt his children did not appreciate him for everything he was giving them. This grow into anger, frustrations, and tremendous resentments towards his wife and his kids.</p>
<p>When he would come home his expectation was for his children to behave in certain way, when they would not meet his expectations he would feel rejected, unworthy, and not good enough.</p>
<p>This is a common behavior for many people that expect to be praised, validated, and noticed. If this expectation is not met, then they go into a tantrum, some people like my CEO client felt unappreciated, not respected, and deep down rejected.</p>
<p>For most of you, it is difficult to see this underlying behavior, as in those moments when this happens, you will not literally think that you are not enough.</p>
<p>Having read over 20,000 books from various life disciplines, attended many seminars on personal, spiritual and business development as well as working with some of the world’s best experts, I concluded that the voids we try to fill do not come as a result of rational choice – but instead by conditioning and habit. And thus, many of us live our lives feeling not good enough based on limiting crules and outdated cbeliefs about pretty much everything – health, relationships, career, education, love, work, money, parenting, sex, and so much more—which we inherit and pass on from generation to generation.</p>
<p>But, what if you could find most effective ways to fill in your voids that you seek in others from within yourself? What would your reality look like if you could forget the crules, brules, chabits of the past, and redefine what wholeness means for you?</p>
<p>This is exactly what the TJS Evolutionary Method that I use in my daily coaching practice to assist people from all walks can do for you, support you in your journey to filling an invisible hole you feel inside.</p>
<p>Use the first of the <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/the-five-step-formula-for-unprecedented-success/">five step</a> TJS Evolutionary Method to consciously engineer the reality in which you experience balance, gratitude, and feeling whole.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Acknowledge the people who trigger your <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/events/from-emotional-rhapsody-to-perfect-health/">emotions as they are the perfect</a> teachers to address the unconscious voids that keep you seeking validation from outside of yourself.</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>For instance, if you get triggered by someone criticizing your way of parenting, then find that part of yourself that loves to criticize others, this is what is normally referred too as your disowned part.</p>
<p>To do so, list all of emotions you experience in that moment you feel criticized, as they are there to help you find your voids.</p>
<p>By owning these disowned parts of yourself i.e. recognizing that you have this trait in yourself, you start to change your behavior. In doing so, instead of pointing out the finger outwardly, thank them for being the mirror to recognize your disowned traits. This modification in your behavior is what will help you step into your true power, the one that comes from experiencing the wholeness of your being.</p>
<p>There are many self-help books that mention universal laws that help you break free from the shackles of not being good enough. In my best-selling book <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/books/a-path-to-wisdom-the-alarm/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Path to Wisdom</a> you can learn the rest of the <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/about/tjs-method/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TJS Evolutionary Method</a> and the other steps that you can use daily to help you address the feelings of not being good enough and equip you with the knowledge and the tools required to live in a state of wholeness.</p>
<p>For those of you who are already well ahead in your personal, professional and spiritual development you may also want to read my newly published international award-winning book <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/books/loneliness-the-virus-of-the-modern-age/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">#Loneliness –The Virus of The Modern Age</a> where I share in more details the amount of crules (crap rules), cbeliefs (crap beliefs), and cbehaviours (crap behaviours) that are at the root cause of not feeling good enough, being rejected, and the cause of life adversities that can take you deep down into the wretched caves of isolation and deep loneliness.</p>
<p>Lastly, learn to dance with the angel and the devil in you that represent the many counterparts of the polar opposite of the “good” and the “bad” sides of your being, be curious about any external triggers that may put you out of equilibrium, acknowledge them, and <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/product/open-your-heart-and-awaken-your-soul/">open your heart</a> to the power of the infinite wisdom that resides in the vibration of love.</p>
<p>If you are ready to breakthrough the things that keep you in the loop of not being good enough and live a more connected, inspired and purposeful life then say yes now, book a clarity coaching consultation, and get in touch asap.</p>
<p>To your success, dreams and abundance!</p>The post <a href="https://tonyselimi.com/how-to-break-the-illusion-of-not-being-good-enough/">How to Break the Illusion of Not Being Good Enough</a> first appeared on <a href="https://tonyselimi.com">Tony J. Selimi</a>.]]></content:encoded>
