Phil Cisneros Releases Two New Songs on CD's

"I Stand In The Sun." www.cisnerosmusic.blogspot.com
Phil Cisneros wrote this song inspired by those who work tirelessly to eradicate poverty and marginalization on the planet. Phil's expression in his music comes from his heart and therefore often speaks for the humanity in us all. Having sung before thousands and thousands since the 1967, Phil leaves his audiences with a sense of celebration for being human and a new capacity to being related. His enthusiasm easily fills any audience with a new energy to go back into the world with. Phil is also an award-winning children's book author. Phil is available for keynote concerts to launch your conference or convention on a high note.

"Let Us Stand For The United Nations" CD www.philsunsong.blogspot.com

This song, written, sung and recorded by Phil Cisneros is dedicated to the work of the United Nations and in particular, the Millinium Development Goals.Today, we not only have the financial resources to end extreme poverty once and for all, but we have the technological knowledge and know-how to realize the Goals. It is also clear, however, that if we carry on in a "business as usual" mode, the Goals will not be achieved by 2015. The way forward is marked, it is only the political will to achieve the Goals that is in question.
Find more about each of the Goals, and what you can do to help turn the Goals into reality:
1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger 2. Achieve universal primary education 3. Promote gender equality and empower women 4. Reduce child mortality 5. Improve maternal health 6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases 7. Ensure environmental sustainability 8. Develop a global partnership for development

Quote for the Week

"No steam or gas ever drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled. No life ever grows until it is focused, dedicated, disciplined."

Testimony For Phil Cisneros

I highly recommend Phil as a personal and/or professional business coach. I have had the pleasure of engaging Phil as my coach on two separate occasions over the last four years. Both times, I produced amazing, real world results.

During our first engagement, I was in the early stages of a brand new career, and with Phil's coaching I secured a 30% raise at my 6 month mark. I also moved into the home of my dreams, completed a University certificate program, was accepted into a Master's degree program, achieved a higher designation in a leadership training program and purchased a new car. These are just a few of the results that I had been "wanting" to achieve for a very long time. With Phil's support I actually made them happen, and more.

A year or so later, I hired Phil again. This time, Phil's coaching and insight helped me to secure a new, ideal full-time position in my chosen field (with another nearly 50% pay increase and extraordinary benefits), as well as begin an exciting and fulfilling business of my own.

Phil's coaching always helped me to keep on track, especially when I encountered roadblocks to my goals. On my own, where I likely would have veered off course or given up completely, Phil's support kept me moving forward with my eye on and my actions aligned with my vision no matter what.

If you want to achieve your vision with velocity and focus, Phil is your man.

Are Your Goals Sourced by a Purpose?

It may be great to head out each day to generate results, but are your results or goals sourced in a purpose? A purpose creates the environment that results are generated from. It's the difference between going for the goodies or creating new possibilities other than just getting results. A purpose also allows for a variety of possible scenarios in getting results, where as results-driven action is narrow and limited. For a new dimension to your business productivity, write a purpose for the results you want to accomplish. If you need assistance in writing the purpose, call me (805-541-3451) or e-mail me (cisnerosbiz@gmail.com), and I'll assist you in distinguishing it.

Today's Thought

"The key for extraordinary performance is in practice. Practice is the threshold of capacity. The price for being extraordinary calls for a relationship with practice that is equivilent to the commitment that artists and atheletes have to the practices of their professions."

Zen and the Art of Golf!

This week I was in Green Valley, Arizona doing some business and taking some time out from my schedule to enhance my well-being. While there I went to the driving range at Torres Blanca Golf Course to brush up on my swing. It was interesting that everytime (you golfers will know about this!) I was about to hit the ball, my head would turn to see where the ball was going to go before I even hit it! This is called "attached to the future." I would usually (and with much embarrassment at that) miss the ball and hit a divot or the ball would dribble off the tee. Much of my attention was focused on where the ball went (even before I hit it!) than keeping my "eye on the ball!" I wonder if that's where that saying came from! When I kept present and focused on the ball until I hit it, the ball would go at least 100 yards...and sometimes straight! What I got out of this whole discovery was that being present to the moment allowed one to execute a task with a lot more proficiency rather than trying to see if the future was going to turn out or not.

Recently, the Dalai Lama was interviewed in March/April AARP magazine. He was asked "You've called yourself a 'semi-retired Dalai Lama.' When people in America retire, they often take up games like golf. What does a semi-retired Dalai Lama do?" He answered: " In a way I play golf in my interior life. For four hours every morning, I do meditation. The meditation I practice is not just to sit there in thoughtlessness. I analyze. It's like brainstorming sessions. So within the brain, you see a kind of competition taking place between various poles of emotions. (He laughs). In a sense, this is more fun than golf!"
