Being alive means we have and will have problems.

And if we’re going to be confronted with problems the rest of our lives, then becoming good at facing and solving problems seems to me to be a worthy endeavor.

Before I jump into my list, allow me to share a few of my thoughts ABOUT problems.

I believe there is almost always more than one solution to any problem. And if you think there’s only one, you will be significantly limiting yourself.

I also think that in business, you don’t really Read More...

Benefits of Developing Your Own Solutions to Problems on the Job

One way to increase your satisfaction with and pay at your job is to stop thinking about your work as a “job” and starting viewing it as your business. In this article, I am going to discuss one of the techniques to change you mindset from having a job to a business owner’s mentality.   

Develop Solutions

Business owners understand that they need to come up with solutions to the challenges that face them and they are confident to do so.

Solutions are Found in Self-Education

Henry Ford once said, “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at 20 or 80.  Anyone who keeps learning stays young.  The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.” 

Jim Roan teaches that formal education will get you a living, but self-education will get you a fortune.

Aristotle went as far as to say that the difference between an educated and uneducated man is the same difference as being alive or being dead.

If you think about it, the solution to just about every challenge you face in your life has already been discovered by someone else, you just have not learned it yet. Being in the information age, we have better information more information Read More...

How to Be Relentless

My Tony Robbins Coach shared this with me and I thought you would enjoy it…

Here’s a simple Yes or No question to consider:

Does your behavior demonstrate a relentless determination?

Your answer reveals a great deal about your future success.

Being relentless is a commitment and intention that stands in the face of obstacles, hardships, temptations, financial difficulties, failing physical health, and broken relationships.

By choosing to be relentless, you are demonstrating no abatement of severity, intensity, strength, or pace, nor Read More...

Embracing the Positives and Negatives on the Road to Success

We just finished celebrating Halloween and, I don‘t know about you but, I am still eating Halloween candy. Halloween is a time when we often think of and dress up as good vs evil, dark vs light, angels or devils, trick or treat, are you a good witch or a bad witch? Ok, so that one was more Wizard of Oz but you get the picture.

Do you view life in this same fashion? There are good things in life and there are bad things in life.  Is that how you see it? What if instead, you chose to embrace BOTH the positive and negatives…..together, as they exist.

Like it or not, you cannot have pleasures in life with out also enduring some pains along the way. Read More...

Personal Disaster Survival Kit – 5 Strategies to Recover

It’s only a matter of time. Eventually it happens to every businessperson, striking catastrophically like lightning or creeping up imperceptibly until it swamps you. It may give you lots of warning, but then arrive with unforeseen ferocity. It’s the business disaster.

A business disaster is not fire, flood, or vandalism. It is economic disaster that burns your bank account, submerges your spreadsheets, or pillages your paycheck. Your job is cut, or your sales evaporate. Your key employees leave — or maybe even worse…they stay and REALLY screw things ups. No matter what the cause is, survival is YOUR problem. FEMA ain’t coming — ever. The only ones calling Read More...

The Irony of Systems

Filed under: Personal Freedom — Tags: , , , , , , , , — Freedom Personal Development @ 6:00 am

David DenisSo…you say you want to be free? What if I told you that in order to be free you need to enslave yourself?

Sounds crazy, doesn’t it? Nevertheless, when you set up effective systems and enslave yourself to them, you will find the discipline required to obtain freedom is much easier.

Freedom is simply the capacity to exercise choice. When you are free, you choose to be who you want, to do what you want, and to have what you want. This does NOT mean lack of responsibility or accountability. In fact, freedom requires that you increase your level of accountability. To become free, you CHOOSE to become more accountable to yourself, and to your own purpose, values and Read More...
