I\u2019ve come across persons with a history of having \u201caid\u201d or \u201csupport\u201d given to them for virtually every major area of their existence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">As a result they\u2019ve gotten used to always \u201cgetting\u201d, even when they make no productive use of what they \u201cget\u201d. They are rarely required to be accountable for (or to show evidence of progress using) support or solutions given them e.g. learning opportunities, grants, zero interest loans, etc.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">This situation makes such people believe there is no justifiable need to exert themselves. <strong><em>As such, asking them to set goals, and aim higher can actually offend them. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\"><strong>Believe me, I\u2019ve experienced this!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">Now, imagine such people coming together as a group to invite an expert on \u201c<strong>Personal Productivity Improvement<\/strong>\u201d to speak to, and coach them for instance?<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\"><strong>How successful do you think s\/he will be in firing them up with renewed focus and determination? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\"><em>Not very. Except a miracle happens.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">Such lazy people can be found virtually anywhere \u2013 in societies at large, and within groups\/organisations.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style46\"><strong>If You Choose Lazy People, You\u2019ll Have No Success Stories to Tell!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"style3\">As an expert, your credibility and reputation will depend mainly on the results you get \u2013 be it from giving talks, or delivering your products\/services.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">When you serve your target audiences, your expectations would stem from the achievements you have recorded with past audiences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">But if you choose the lazy kind, you may find that long after you leave, you rarely have any success stories to <strong>prove <\/strong>that you made a worthwhile impact on them!<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">I\u2019ve seen\/heard about some great teachers getting blamed for the failure of certain students, when most times the students were the ones who failed to put in the needed time and effort to succeed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">This sometimes happens with kids of rich and indulgent parents, brought up to put fun and pleasure ahead of almost all else. The parents assume they only need to pay for the \u201cbest\u201d teacher.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">That of course does not always work. The teacher may give his best. But if the students choose to fool around \u2013 instead of studying - till the exams are around the corner, they are unlikely to do well!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style46\"><strong>Choose People Ready to Do What It Takes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"style3\">Everything I\u2019m saying here is based on deep reflection on personal experiences I\u2019ve had in the past 10 years - both in my country, Nigeria, and here in Benin Republic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">I\u2019ve interacted quite closely, and for extended periods, with working adults, as well as students (at \u00a0secondary and university levels), job seekers and even newly employed persons in organisations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\"><em>Take a competent expert and expose different kinds of people to him\/her. They will each emerge with widely varying levels of performance.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">Quite often, being the professional s\/he is, the expert will be consistent in delivering required solutions to all of them. But people will vary in their individual degrees of interest, diligence and commitment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">An expert must therefore carefully select those s\/he works with, if s\/he desires long term success.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style46\"><strong>The Most Successful Experts Don\u2019t Work With Lazy People!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"style3\">One example is Burt Dubin \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spontaneousdevelopment.com\/uploads\/burt_new_flyer.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">veteran mentor of some of the world\u2019s higher paid speakers<\/a>. He does not work with lazy people. He describes them as those who let \u201c<strong>sloth and indifference<\/strong>\u201d get in the way of their ambitions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">Burt's \"policy\" accounts for his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.speakingsuccess.com\/speaking_success_system.html\" target=\"_blank\">amazing ability to turn virtually every expert he mentors into a highly paid international speaker<\/a>. He has a series of \u201churdles\u201d you must scale to \u201cqualify\u201d for his mentoring. That ensures he ends up with the right kind of clients as \u201cstudents\u201d!<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\"><strong>It\u2019s just like in cooking or manufacturing: <\/strong>the best raw materials always yield superior quality output in the hands of a competent Chef or Process Manager.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style46\"><strong>Final Words: Don\u2019t Waste Your Expert Time, Energy and Effort, By Fetching Water in a Basket!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"style3\"><em><strong>YOU<\/strong>,<\/em> are a competent <em><strong>EXPERT<\/strong><\/em> \u201cprovider\u201d of solutions\/services in your area(s) of focus and interest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">To succeed more often, invest quality time and effort in painstaking <strong>pre-selection<\/strong> of the right kind of people to receive your solutions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\"><strong>If you don\u2019t, you may end up \u201cfetching water in a basket\u201d<\/strong>(which of course will never get full!)<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\">That expression (i.e. \u201cfetching water in a basket\u201d) is one that people from my part of the world (the Yoruba tribe in Nigeria) use to indicate something they believe amounts to a waste of time and effort.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style3\"><em>Don\u2019t do that to yourself!<\/em><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style31 style42\">Need More Details of How to Make The Above Ideas Work for YOU?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"style3\">If you need more specific details of how to make use of the ideas I've shared in this newsletter,<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/spontaneousdevelopment.com\/contact.htm\" target=\"_blank\">send me a message using this request form<\/a> - with \"<strong>Re: <span class=\"style31\">Smart Experts Avoid Lazy People<\/span><\/strong>\" in the subject line.<\/p>\n<table width=\"500\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td bgcolor=\"#CCCCCC\">\n<table width=\"500\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\n<p class=\"style44\" style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
