Super secrets to becoming a superachiever -By Harvey Mackay

Because I do a lot of public speaking, I have developed a deep appreciation for top-notch speakers. So when I was brainstorming and looking for a real showstopper to address a group of business people I am mentoring, I asked Darren Hardy, publisher of SUCCESS magazine to be one of our presenters.

Darren is in the rare position to interview the most celebrated achievers on the planet to discover how they have created their extraordinary success. Astute SUCCESS readers use the advice to achieve more and lead greater fulfilling lives.

Darren’s message, three productivity secrets of superachievers, was a real eye-opener. Number one might surprise you, because so many people want to know what individuals like Richard Branson do to create great results. But the answer is just the opposite. It’s not what they do at all. It’s what they don’t do, according to Darren.

Saying “yes” is easy, he said.

There’s no hassle in saying yes. The master skill, however, is saying “no.”

Everyone can say yes. No is hard because it causes conflict in relationships.

When Darren got a chance to interview Warren Buffett, he asked him the

question that everyone wants answered: “What would you attribute your grand success to?”

The key to his great success was this: “For every 100 great opportunities that are brought to me, I say ‘no’ 99 times.”

Darren asked the late Steve Jobs, “Of all the things that you have built and created, that have changed the world, what are you and Apple most proud of?

His answer was, ‘I’m as proud of what we don’t do as I am of what we do.’”

Distinction number two of superachievers is to learn to focus on the vital few.

“A lot of us try to become master of many things,” Darren said. “We try to be great at a lot of things, and as a result, we don’t ever become world class at a few things. Look at Olympic athletes, entertainers, Nobel laureates or Albert Einstein. They were all world class at just a few things. The rest of their lives they were pretty mediocre.”

Darren makes the point that long hours are very different from hard work.

Hard work is doing the few things that are hard to do but produce the big results.

“A great confusion for a lot of us is that we think there are all of these functions we need to be involved in and we need to be great at,” he added. “Really, like anything in life, there’s about a half dozen vital functions that you need to become excellent or brilliant at in order to create gargantuan success.”

What are your vital functions? What are the three vital functions that only you can do? What are the three functions that contribute the most to the success of your business or job? If you take the time to write them down, it will force you to focus your attention on what it is you should be doing every day.

Darren’s personal goal is to spend 90 percent of his time on his three functions. Best-selling author Jim Collins says if you have more than three priorities, you don’t have any.

Steve Jobs learned when he was running Pixar that there’s great power in working on just one big thing at a time.

When you can get your whole staff to focus on one thing, their creativity is off the charts. That’s why Jobs and Apple did one thing at a time. They did the iPod. Then they did the iPhone. Then the iPad. Then they did retail - one big thing at a time.

The final distinction of superachievers, according to Darren, is that they’ve developed unconscious habits of sucHarvey Mackay continued to pg 5

Obituaries Dr. Ralph T. Holman

Dr. Ralph T. Holman, 94 of Austin, MN, died peacefully surrounded by loved ones on Wednesday, August 15, 2012 at Mayo Clinic Health Systems, Albert Lea. R a l p h Theodore Holman was born March 4, 1918 in Minneapolis, MN the son of Alfred T. and May (Nilson) Holman. He was a graduate of Roosevelt High School, from Bethel College, The University of Minnesota and Rutgers University.

Ralph married Karla Calais on March 26, 1943 at the University of Minnesota Chapel.

They lived in Minneapolis prior to moving to Sweden. Upon returning to the United States, they lived in Texas until moving to Austin, MN in 1951.

In 1946, Dr. Holman worked at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden with several Nobel Prize winners, including Sune Berstrom. He was the first person in the world to crystalize lipoxygenase, a significant enzyme in the inflammatory process.

Following his time in Sweden, Dr. Holman spent time as a professor at Texas A and M University. In 1951, while a professor at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Dr. Holman was invited to join the Hormel Institute in Austin MN which at the time was pioneering food stabilization technology. Dr. Holman spent the entirety of his career at his beloved Hormel Institute, University of Minnesota, finally retiring in 2001.

Professor Holman was a pioneer in the area of essential fatty acid research and nutrition, making several fundamental discoveries about the metabolism of fatty acids. He is perhaps best known for coining

Monday Night • Buck Burgers • Buck Fries

the term “Omega 3” in 1963 which Holman said came from his knowledge of the Bible and Sunday school from the passage “I am the Alpha and the Omega”. Dr. Holman was a devout Christian and led his life in pursuit of goodness and helping others.

Dr. Holman is regarded as the Father of Omega 3 fatty acids, discovering their essential nature, their metabolism and competition with omega 6 fatty acids and spawning many of the top lipid researchers in the day that passed through his lab at the Hormel Institute. His science, discoveries, life and ambitions have improved the lives of millions around the globe through nutrition.

Dr. Holman was the Director of the Hormel Institute from 1975 to 1985 and on the Board of Directors for Hormel Foods.

He was a past president of the American Oil Chemists Society, and received numerous awards and honors including the Borden Award and the prestigious Baldwin Award.

He was a member of the prestigious National Academy of Sciences, an invitation-only membership, the Royal Orchid Society, and many other scientific organizations.

His hobbies included photography and growing numerous orchids in a greenhouse he had constructed on the back of his home.

Dr. Holman also enjoyed spending time at his Swedish style cabin in Upsala Minnesota that he built with Karla and young son, Ted. Dr. Holman was preceded in death by his parents and his loving wife, Karla.

Ralph is survived by his son Nils (Ted) Holman, Minneapolis, MN; nieces, nephews and cousins.

Funeral services were held at 11:00 AM on Monday, August 20th at First Congregational Church, Austin MN with the Reverend Shari Mason officiating. Funeral services were also held at 2:00 PM on Tuesday, August 21st at Community Covenant Church in Upsala, MN with the Reverend Craig Johnson officiating.

Interment was at the Community Covenant Church Cemetery in Upsala, MN.

A Mind Full of Clutter -By Saralee Perel Last week, instead of heading home on the highway, my husband, Bob, and I took an extra 10 minutes and drove along the scenic route. We passed gorgeous cranberry bogs, yards filled with roses, and farm stands overflowing with corn. All through the drive, I cried.

Sweet Bob wanted to hear my thoughts. “I’m worried about your doctor’s appointment,” I said through tears.

“I’m so sorry I spoiled our drive.”

“But I want you to talk to me.”

“Bob, the only purpose my worried thoughts served was to lose every precious moment of a beautiful drive with you.”

At that instant, I learned that one word could change life for the better.

The word? Clutter. In a single day I said to myself, “clutter,” each time I noticed a pointless negative thought. I stopped counting after about a hundred.

Recently Bob called from his cell.

“I’m at the store. I’ll be home in 20 minutes.”

I thought, “What if he has an acci-

dent?”

Clutter.

By identifying the useless thought, I could stop it.

This de-cluttering business goes way beyond the “what if?” container.

The life of my cat, Eddie, was wonderful. But the second I think of him, I visualize his ending.

Clutter.

So I asked Bob, “What do you think of when you think of Eddie?”

He laughed. “I think about Eddieproofing the house, like keeping the toilet paper in a coffee tin.” Then he laughed harder and said, “I think about when he’d jump in my shower and every time I’d pull him out and then close the bathroom door behind him, he’d decide it was a challenge. He’d turn the door knob, race back to the shower and use his paw to quickly slide the shower door open and jump right back in!”

Last week we went to the movies.

We couldn’t bring our dog, Becky, in the car because of the heat. I said, “Bob, I can’t stop thinking about how unhappy Becky is right now.”

The truth is, I can stop thinking about … anything. We all can. Do you see any purpose in me taking time away from enjoying the movies by focusing on leaving my pooch at home?

Harvey Mackay continued from page 2 cess. As Aristotle said, “We are what we repeatedly do.”

Darren explained: “When you repeat an activity over and over, the reason why it becomes an unconscious habit is it develops what’s called a neurosignature. It actually burns a brain groove.

Every time you do something, it continues to reinforce this brain groove and we become what we practice the most.”

You can read more of Darren’s advice in his book, The Compound Effect, which I highly recommend. Especially helpful are the five ways to change bad habits and seven ways to install success habits. Bottom line: You have to develop a daily routine that will lead you to success.

“If somebody were to ask me what’s the one attribute that I would attribute

Chiropractic Care

my success to, it would be the ability to stay consistent.” Darren said. “Staying consistent creates momentum.”

Mackay’s Moral: Lots of people start, but few people finish.

Today, Bob and I stopped at a farm stand and bought corn. Now, I could have done what I did last time, which was to complain about the heat (clutter) and stay in the car while Bob bought the corn. Instead I spent a wondrous 5 minutes with my husband picking out corn and counting all the colors of the geraniums.

That beat sitting in a car thinking about the 7 calls I had to return. It was a simple uncluttered moment in time, when all I had was the feel of the corn

Holdingford Mill Art Project Dedication

The City of Holdingford is proud to announce the completion of the Holdingford Mill Art Project. On Sunday, August 26th at 11:30 a.m. the Mayor of Holdingford will host a dedication for its new art installation along the Lake Wobegon Trail one block west of City Hall. This marks the end of a two year long project oversaw by the Holdingford In Partnership Committee (H.I.P.). Keith Raivo, Brook Park, Minnesota is the featured artist. He was selected by ballot collected from the community based on his conceptual design which specialized in sculpted metal.

Project Background: In 2010, the Holdingford In Partnership (HIP) Committee (funded in part by the Initiative Foundation) requested planning funds for an art installation along the Wobegon Trail from Forecast Public Art, St. Paul, MN. Once awarded the HIP Committee sent out a call to area arts to submit their qualifications along with a letter of interest to participate a community art project. From this process, five artists were selected to submit a conceptual design based on the site requirements, the vibrant history of Holdingford residents and abundant recreational opportunities within the community. In 2011, each of the five conceptual designs were present-

ed at numerous community events and meetings. In addition, they were placed on continuous display at key locations throughout the City. By doing so, the HIP Committee was able to market this exciting project, collect feedback from area residents, and showcase the power art has in distinguishing public spaces.

The Holdingford area residents, along with the HIP Committee, believed that Keith Raivo’s design commanded the best use of the existing space, creatively incorporating important logistical considerations, while still showcasing the heritage of our community. Finally, in 2012, the Central MN Arts Board (CMAB) had agreed to fund the final phase (installation) of the Holdingford Mill Art Project; allowing us a seamless transition from planning to implementation of this public art piece.

The mission of the HIP Committee is to identify valuable resources to enhance and promote our community. We believe that our recreational resources and our heritage play crucial roles in the continued development and revitalization of Holdingford. Accordingly, we acknowledge that the arts are a vital component to being successful in these efforts.

Community Builders Spotlight Business

By Kathy Detloff On the corner of Cedar and Jackson Streets and extending eight city lots, Village View Apartments has been home to 155 low income elderly or social security disabled people over the years since it was built in 1979.

The facility contains twenty-four apartments that currently rent by the month. Residents must be 62 years of age or have a social security disability to qualify. HUD uses a formula to determine the amount of subsidy low income residents will need. Manager Harry Grammond stated that the facility is the perfect size for Grey Eagle since it has nearly always been full but without a long waiting list. Currently one unit is available.

The apartments have amenities that include an elevator to the second floor which was added soon after the building’s construction and a new community room with big screen TV, fireplace, and adjoining kitchen. The Great River Regional Library keeps a supply of books and videos in this the room and switches them every two weeks. In addition the facility has a laundry room on each floor, a copy machine for the residents and public restrooms on the first floor, fourteen garages, and raised garden spots in the yard. Other improvements are the automatic door openers and the timed locks for night safety. Many residents enjoy daily coffee together as they

wait for mail delivery. Fridays are a special treat when Grammond delivers the rolls donated by Coborn’s in Melrose from their day-old supply.

The dream for this addition to Grey Eagle began in 1974 when a committee that included Harry Grammond, Donald Kuhn, Robert Pallansch, Fred Bisel, Alfred Luebke, Hugo Kuehne, and Arthur Hinman started the process. Local banker Marion Menge and his wife Elaine donated the first four lots to locate the apartments in this neighborhood which is one of the oldest residential spots in Grey Eagle. The process began with training at the Region V site in Staples.

Initially the committee worked with the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency but after three years they were sent to work with the Farmers Home Administration (FHA). The project was incorporated in 1978.

FHA wanted city water for this project, so that became the push to add this utility throughout the city of Grey Eagle.

To show public support for building a low income housing project, the committee was required to raise 2% of the $600,000 price tag. 120 local people donated $100 each to become voting members to make this happen. The original 50 year loan of $513,800 subsidized at 6% interest for three years was paid off in September 2003 and Village View Apartments was debt free. Financially sound, the Grey Eagle Housing Association is able to make repairs and updates on a cash basis. Each a $100,000 project, 14 garages and the new community room were added without borrowing. In addition, the Peterson property was purchased to provide extra parking for the

Notes from the Capitol By State Rep. Paul Anderson

A goodsized crowd of nearly 100 was on hand Aug. 15 at the Melecha Dairy Farm near Westport to learn more about the dairy industry in Minnesota.

Among those in attendance at the Minnesota Milk Producers’ event were seven members of the House of Representatives. The weather cooperated nicely as a cool breeze kept those on hand comfortable as we toured various parts of the dairy set-up.

Todd and Louise Melecha were gracious hosts as they discussed different aspects of their operation. Around 900 cows are milked three times a day, and their herd’s rolling average is just under 24,000 pounds. The cows are milked in

a “double 16” parlor featuring a floating floor that’s hydraulically adjustable to allow for an optimum height for the milking staff.

A relatively new addition to the operation is a roller-type system that squeezes enough liquid out of the manure so it can be used again and again.

A series of presses separates the solids from the liquid, with the liquid then being pumped out to a pit to be spread on crop land as fertilizer. The solids, after going through the roller system, have a moisture content between 60 and 70 percent and can be re-used as bedding in the barns. So far, according to Todd, the system has been working very well.

The dairy industry, like other livestock operations, is currently facing a challenge with high input costs that are a direct result of the drought that has devastated parts of the Corn Belt. Prices of feedstuffs such as soybean meal and corn have risen substantially this summer as the heat and lack of rain have re-

duced the size of the nation’s corn and soybean crops by millions of bushels.

Hay is also expected to be in short supply with the price rising accordingly.

I’ve received several questions regarding the status of churches being able to conduct fund-raising dinners such as they’ve done in the past. Contrary to reports some have heard, the Legislature did not pass any laws that would outlaw such church functions. In part, the law reads: “food prepared for weddings, fellowship meals, or funerals conducted by a faith-based organization using any building constructed and primarily used for religious worship or education is exempt from licensing.”

Such things as community celebrations are a bit more complicated. Such events, even if held at a church building, are exempt for licensing requirements except that a “certified food manager or a volunteer trained in a food safety course” must train the food preparation workers in safe food handling practices. A person can become a certified food manager/volunteer by attending a class offered by the University of Min-

nesota extension. It may be a good idea for churches to have someone take the course and become certified.

Entertainment has been provided to the residents by the Becker family, Father Ron Dockendorff, the Ron Walker band, and the Pfaff family. A knitting group meets on Tuesdays and a Homemakers club meets monthly. A new opportunity offered by Brenda Sprenger and others is card making workshops.

Shirley Hulinsky, Burnhamville Clerk

A salesman complimented a young mother on her well-behaved son, adding, “I have eight children of my own.”

“Eight kids!” she exclaimed in disbelief. “I can’t imagine dividing my love by eight.”

“I don’t divide my love,” he said, “I multiply it!”

How like God. We read in His word that “God so loved the world that He gave His only Son…for everyone.” His love is unlimited and all inclusive. And we would never know how much He loved us until it was seen in Scripture. Love began with God, was seen in Jesus and ends with us.

There is no way to know, experience or understand the love of God except through the Son of God. As we put our lives into His hands, He will put His love into our hearts. And as we come to understand His love we will realize that He has a lot of love for us to share with others, and we can help to multiply His love as we serve others.
