“Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles that one has overcome while trying to succeed.”  –BOOKER T. WASHINGTON  When young, I was following the ski sport and one year, during the Olympics, one of Austria’s skiers (Karl Schranz) got disqualified. He was not allowed to ski during the Olympics. Everyone, not only the Austrians, were betting on him.   But because Schranz did not compete, the winner, who according to the world’s opinion would have been second, was not a winner in the world's eyes.  Just like Muhammed Ali remained the King, even though someone else got the belt, because Muhammed Ali was in prison.    See how happy you become, if and when you overcome the impossible! Not because of what you will have but…

“Obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off his goal.”  - E. Joseph Cossman  It is easy to concentrate on problems and forget to see the thing you wanted in the first place.   Concentrating only on the mechanical steps of doing one's job is just another way to forget all about one’s goals.   Make it a daily habit (especially when you have problems) to force yourself to look at your goals.  DON’T, however, make your goal ‘getting out of this mess’ or in some other way lessen your goal because of the magnitude of your problems.  Look at your original goals only. In fact, whenever you think you can’t make it, make the goal bigger, not smaller. Try it – it works!  Helmut Flasch CEO, Flasch International www.Un-Work.com  PS. Let me shine…

“If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.”  - Derek Bok  (Former President of Harvard University)  Let’s make sure we expand that to all areas of life.   We must not only concentrate on the technical aspect of our profession, but also see our overall success and happiness.   Without “learning” how to keep focus, how to communicate with people about any matters, your chance of never realizing your full potential is huge.   Just look around. You will see a person who may be a specialist in one area but yet is still a failure in life. Why?   Simply ignorance of getting an education in ALL matters of life! Synergy, my friend, synergy!  Helmut Flasch CEO, Flasch International www.Un-Work.com  PS. Currently, there is one area in business where getting an education is worth mentioning.  And by the…

It’s simply one’s failure to convert “Idle Wishing” to “Honest Needing” – Unknown Personally, I would take this idle wishing to honest needing up one more notch and say from ‘idle wishing’ to ‘demanding for things getting better.’  If you look at it – there is quite a big difference between knowing you need to and actually acting on it. Wishing that things get better is what all the 95% of people who will retire on social security at age 78 or 83 are doing.  Maybe, only maybe, a few who know they “need to do something” will actually do something.  However, the ones who demand that things get better, the ones who say enough is enough, the ones who realize that no matter what he risks in engaging in a…

"The secret to success is not luck or having a good idea at the right time.It happens to be your ingenuity on how you can, if at all possible, repeat (duplicate) a money-making action as often as needed, without your personal time involved, so that you can take home the profit you want." - Helmut Flasch, CEO of Flasch International Our office consulted a dentist a couple of years ago. He was quite a go-getter and did well on our Un-Advertising program BUT we never really got him to take the reins as an executive ONLY. He just could not drop doing dentistry himself so he could be a CEO and create bigger and more practices – which was what he wanted! One day he came to our office and…
