Dear %$firstname$%, The past few weeks have been hectic around here. Our phones and offices have been a flurry of activity ever since we started accepting applications for my new Train the Trainer program, starting on October 11th. I’m thrilled to see that we are attracting such quality professionals to the program and I’m looking forward to training and mentoring them over the course of the next 12 months, so they can bring my Success Principles and proven transformational training methods to audiences around the world.
What were the results? First and foremost, I immediately doubled my free time. I delegated more tasks, scheduled vacations rather than merely thought about them, and hired additional staff that ultimately positioned my business to earn more. And that was just in the first few months. Not only has my business benefited, but my family has, too. For me, coaching isn’t just about making more money. It’s about helping me make better decisions for myself and my business. The truth is, most coaching clients are smart – very smart. Yet they still know the value of accessing someone who can be objective, honest, and constructive about the options they are facing. If you’re trying to put The Success Principles to good use in your life, and are interested in the knowing more about the benefits of one-on-one personal coaching, you should consider working with one of my Canfield-Certified coaches. To read our success stories and to sign-up for a free introduction to our coaching program, visit: https://www.canfieldcoaching.com/?eid=103 ============================== Do you express your appreciation enough? Who have you appreciated today? I’d like to encourage you to think about who you have (or haven’t) appreciated lately. Take just a minute or two to write people’s names down…and the next time you see them, make a point to appreciate them for the blessings they bring to your life. Today's article gives you some tips and strategies for doing just that. Enjoy! Your Success Mentor,
Jack Canfield

Practice Uncommon Appreciation
Whether you are an entrepreneur, manager, teacher, parent, coach or simply a friend, if you want to be successful with other people, you must master the art of appreciation. I’ve never known anyone to complain about receiving too much positive feedback. Have you? In fact, just the opposite is true. Consider this: Every year, a management consulting firm conducts a survey with 200 companies on the subject on what motivates employees. When given a list of 10 possible things that would most motivate them, the employee always list appreciation as the number-one motivator. Managers and supervisors ranked appreciation number eight. This is a major mismatch, as the chart below so clearly shows.
Notice that the top three motivators for employees don’t cost anything, just a few moments of time, respect and understanding. Keeping Score When I first learned about the power of appreciation, it made total sense to me. However, it was still something that I forgot to do. I hadn’t yet turned it into a habit. A valuable technique that I employed to help me lock in this new habit was to carry a 3” x 5” card in my pocket all day, and every time I acknowledged and appreciated someone, I would place a check mark on the card. I would not allow myself to go to bed until I had appreciated 10 people. If it was late in the evening and I didn’t have 10 check marks, I would appreciate my wife and children, I would send an e-mails to several of my staff, or I would write a letter to my mother or stepfather. I did whatever it took until it became an unconscious habit. I did this every single day for 6 months—until I no longer needed the card to remind me. Appreciation as a Secret of Success Another important reason for being in a state of appreciation as often as possible is that when you are in such a state, you are in one of the highest emotional states possible. When you are in a state of appreciation and gratitude, you are in a state of abundance. You are appreciating what you do have instead of focusing on, and complaining about, what you don’t have. Your focus is on what you have received… and you always get more of what you focus on. And because the law of attraction states that like attracts like, the more you are in a state of gratitude, the more you will attract, and even more to be grateful for. It becomes an upward-spiraling process of ever-increasing abundance that just keeps getting better and better. Think about it. The more grateful people are for the gifts we give them, the more inclined we are to give them more gifts. Their gratitude and appreciation reinforces our giving. The same principle holds true on a universal and spiritual level as it does on an interpersonal level. I challenge you to discover ways to immediately appreciate someone in your life, starting today! For more tips and suggestions on how you, too, can find ways to appreciate those in your life, read Prinicple 53 in The Success Principles. © 2009 Jack Canfield * * * If you missed previous issues of Success Strategies, WANT TO USE THIS ARTICLE IN YOUR E-ZINE OR WEB SITE? |

Are you ready to work at every level of your core being... including levels you may not be maximizing now? If so, I invite you join me, along with an exclusive group of 100 graduates, for my Advanced Training in San Diego this November. 
A recent management study revealed that 46% of employees leaving a company do so because they feel unappreciated; 61% said their bosses don’t place much importance on them as people; and 88% said they don’t receive acknowledgement for the work they do.
