Blog, Blog, Blog

One thing about having a blog is that you need to be consistent. How do we do that? Today I felt overwhelmed. I stopped, took a deep breath and asked myself "what two things MUST I get done today?" Once I identified those two things. I began working the first task. I kept focus. Didn't answer my phone or react to my e-mail. Once completed, I started with the second task. Wow! I felt great. I then asked myself "what two things must I get done next?" And I began those tasks? It's a matter of focus. Blogging is now one of those two things! It takes discipline. How do you keep yourself focused?

Make Decisions!

You are paid to make decisions. Be quick to make them but slow to change them. Create a decision process for yourself. Use your gut feel. If it doesn't feel right, don't do it. Does your decision support your highest good? It should.

It's all about relationships!

At the end of the day, what's contributes to our success in life or business are the relationships we have with others and ourselves. The most important relationship is the one we have with ourselves. When you are compassionate, loving, trusting, nurturing and kind with yourself, your other relationships follow suit. Start with yourself. When you do, your other relationships will grow and deepen easily and effortlessly.

Grow Your Business by Growing Yourself!

Your business is a reflection of your personal growth! Wow! How much have you invested in yourself? I thrive on personal growth. Consider taking an on-line class, a class at a junior college, hiring a coach or just reading a book that expands your horizon. Take 30 minutes to read a book every day. You'll be amazed how quickly you'll become a subject matter expert.

Just Start!

Today I learned that it's important to "just start". How many times have I held back from starting a new venture until I had the education, the time, the support, etc.? Way too many! It's time to make a change. Even if it is not perfect, just start!
