Motivational speaker and certified life coach, Jimmy Roos, says that one of the biggest misconceptions and greatest deceptions known to man is the concept that people who work hard will achieve success.
Roos, who has authored several e-books including, ?The truth about self-improvement?, holds a degree in psychology, founded the total transformation programme and believes in the teachings of Abraham Hicks.
Jimmy Roos
He is a former radio host and now hosts the weekly television programme, ?Destination Success? on CNS Channel Six on Fridays. Almost everyone can count as many persons as their fingers would allow, who have worked hard, tirelessly and honestly all their lives and are still not successful, or have died without achieving success.
According to Roos, although many persons work very hard, the majority seem not to be making much headway. Roos quoted his favourite American business philosopher, Jim Rohn, who said that success is neither magical nor mysterious, but is a natural consequence of consistently applying the basic fundamentals.
It was also Rohn who said that, ?you don?t chase after success; you attract success by the person you become. Work hard on the job and you will make a living; work hard on yourself and you will make a fortune.? Roos believes that there is an identical model for successful people who each carry discernable character traits.
He said that in order to achieve success, people must alter their mindset and way of thinking which will eventually lead to a change of attitude, behaviour, habit, beliefs and value systems.
?Learn to make right decisions, solve problems, learn how to react to criticisms, be forgiving, respectful of others,? Roos pointed out. He noted that successful people engage in meaningful, productive activities and are all about excellence.
?They don?t believe in trying, they either do something or they don?t do it, and they are totally committed. Their mood is not driven by the weather or other external factors, and they are socially and emotionally intelligent. They always consider the consequences of their actions and they plan days ahead of schedule. They are proactive and take responsibility while others wait for someone to do something for them.?
Roos draws a parallel between life and a game of golf.
?As a life coach, I cannot help you to live your life, but I can help you to improve your game. Sometimes you play well and at other times you?re not at your best,? Roos stated.
He related that the coach?s job is to analyse life and figure out what brings out the best in a person, and determine the factors behind his successes as well as his failures. The coach then comes up with a solution to tighten up on the weak areas and show his client what is causing him/her to mess up.
?There are times when everything flows smoothly and goes right and at other times they do not. My job is to figure out what is it that keeps you from maximising your potential,?
He detailed that life coaching is not likened to counselling where the person is given instructions and told what to do. However, in life coaching, the person is presented with a number of options and pointed to the pros and cons.
?Humans don?t like to be told what to do since there?s an innate resistance to directions or instructions. The difference is that I?m not an expert telling you what to do, but I?m a partner working with you. Most people who need help and ask for assistance are really asking for assurance, endorsement and affirmation; they already know what they want to do,? Roos explained.
He remarked that persons who are willing to change their lives and chart a different course are always made fun of by friends and family as they are in an immediate sphere of influence.
?Friends and family are usually the last to believe in you. They will begin to discourage, distract and doubt you, and then you begin to second guess yourself and eventually doubt your abilities,? Roos disclosed.
He explained that a person can only think what they have experienced, and therefore, if they have not experienced much, then their thoughts are not as broad or wide-ranging. He emphasised that his job is to suggest ideas to his clients and examine which ideas the person may be comfortable with, if their experiences do not allow them to have broad ideas.
?But at the end of the day, you are in the driver?s seat and I can?t choose for you. I give you the power to make decisions and that?s what makes people feel in charge and powerful. People can succeed once there is someone to believe in them, there?s someone to stand by them and applaud your efforts.?
Roos believes that he possesses a special gift for analysing situations critically, having come from an environment of abuse. He said he can assess a person?s behaviour and understand their background and past.
?I?m able to build a rapport with persons because I can relate to their situation and help them build their self-esteem, develop a better sense of confidence and a good opinion of themselves,? Roos stressed.
He pointed out that relevant to Guyana?s situation, life coaching is important because the society is riddled with domestic and sexual violence and lots of child abuse.
These, he said, are always traumatic experiences which leave lasting impressions on the psyche of victims. ?Adults never outgrow the traumas they experience as children; they just learn how to bury them inside, wear masks, and pretend that everything is fine,? Roos stated.
According to him, this is why many people cannot live liberated lives and lash out, snap and explode when their buttons are pushed. ?What I have found is that there is a lot of repressed anger in Guyana and people just need a little spark to explode in anger. So many children are ready to fight at the slightest things.?
Roos detailed that his job is to help those persons to understand their role and purpose in life and assist them in overcoming the pain and hurt which prevent them from living satisfying and fulfilling lives. ?I can help you to find out what it is that you were sent here for and that which you are meant to do. You may not be fully focused and you are always worried about what people think about you. The information available can change your life in so many ways.?
Roos also provides motivational speeches for businesses and companies where it is felt that employees have become lacklustre and uninspired in specific areas. He also conducts personal life coaching and one-on-one sessions to ensure that persons are open to the endless possibilities. Roos also does volunteer work at the various children?s homes and offers guidance and counselling for early school leavers, who may be clueless as to their next step in life.
