Every single day, and I mean literally everyday, there are some decisions that you have to make. Actually, we are all required to make them regardless of our professional position in life. I am going to discuss two of these decisions from a list of seven that I have discovered. When we make these decisions, we have to choose either/or. There is no third option to pick from and there is no such thing as not deciding. Here are two of the decisions that I am talking about.

Decisions 1 – Life or Death

Lost in the mists of time before civilization existed, even before Zig Ziglar, there was a man named Ug. Ug was a mighty hunter and leader of his tribe. Ug was also one of the first great inventors.

Ug developed the first stone knife to make killing and preparing the meat easier. He invented the bow to fire a small spear from a great distance, making it easier to hunt many fast, hard-to catch animals. Ug became known as the greatest hunter of his tribe, and he shared his secrets with other Read More...

If you are reading or listening to this, I would guess that it is because you have a strong desire to improve the quality of your life and to grow.  It is amazing to me how in our quests to grow how often we seem to get stopped.  It makes us wonder what is wrong with us.  

Well you know what I find out that when we get stopped or block in our quests for growth it is usually not the result of a character flaw nearly as much as it is the result of one of what I call the Four Emotional Barriers to Read More...

Event + Response = Outcome. It seems like a simple formula doesn’t it? I guess it is-however, the complexities of how this “simple” formula affects your life are significant!

You’ve probably heard it said, “life is 10% what your given and 90% what you make of it.” Maybe you don’t agree with the percentages-maybe I don’t either-but I think most of us agree that the outcomes that we receive are determined not only by the circumstances we find ourselves in but also by how Read More...

The And Principle is one of my favorite methods of getting off to a quick start with a new project or a new goal. It’s also a sure-fire way to quickly fix a slump. It’s very simple.

Here’s how it works: Every performance is broken down into two components. It has an effort and then it has a result. What the And Principle focuses on is you achieving both the effort and the result before you stop working on that Read More...

What kind of a vision do you have for your life? Where do you see yourself in 5 years? In ten? What about when you’re 70 or 80?

These are great questions because they get you thinking BIG, looking beyond the present moment into the future. And most importantly, it forces you to think about what YOU want your life to look like.

The busyness of this world makes it dangerously simple to just move along a predetermined path. Read More...

The Key to Financial Freedom – Your Financial Pyramid

The idea of financial freedom is so fascinating to me. What does it take to achieve financial freedom? I ask you, quickly, write down how much money you would need to make in a year to feel financially free?

That’s usually a pretty tough exercise for people. In my observations, many of the most financially enslaved people I know are those that make the most money.

My husband’s a financial planner and he tells me people assume that if you make more money, the Read More...

My father always impressed on me the importance of investing. For years I have known the great power of compound interest and yet have not fully taken advantage of its awesome potential. Let’s face it, life is expensive. Sometimes there is money to save and other times bills eat it up.

Just recently I was reminded of how simple and amazing putting aside a few dollars a week can really add up. But where do you come up with the money?  Times Read More...

What can transform a monotonous task into inspired service? A mundane job into a passionate career? What separates the man who is laying brick from the one building a cathedral? Purpose. Purpose which is the reason for which something is done or created. Purpose can also differentiate a quota from a goal. You’ve probably heard the 5 points of an effective goal. It must be:

1. Meaningful to You
2. The Right Size
3. Specific and Measurable with a Due Date
4. Read More...

People often remark, “I was in the right place at the right time,” but very rarely can all the credit simply go to timing. I’m not suggesting that being in the right place at the right time has no value because clearly it does. You do need to be at the right place but what makes any given moment the right time is more than just luck. The right time is also created by a lot of preparation.

A woman I know had always secretly wanted an agent to help her Read More...
