Motivational Monday #27: Which type of Pain do you suffer from?


Waking up this morning I really wanted to hit my snooze button. At 6am I had a choice. Hit it and sleep in or get up and do my am workout. I choose to get up and workout. I didn't really 'want' to, but I did know that the decision was going to have a ripple effect on the rest of my day. I could have slept in and it would have felt good at the moment, and that one act would have had little direct impact right then BUT if you compound it then the impact is profound. If it hit the snooze button today it becomes much easier to do the same tomorrow and I will see no result. The same is true for getting up and doing my 14 min workout. I got up today and did it, so it'll be easier to do tomorrow and over time there will be a noticeable difference for the good. 

The same is in business. The discipline to do what we should do is HUGE. The calls made today may not directly turn into a new client, but the discipline of today carried into tomorrow will give you results from the calls made because you had the discipline to make them. 

This can be one of those things that separates us from the others and grows the gap between us and the competition.

Motivational Monday #247: Adapting is not a luxury if....

  Adapting is not a luxury if you want to keep succeeding at a high level.   Recognizing factual changes in an economy, market or industry is something we all must do. Then, with that knowledge we must look at what we are current doing and make updates/changes accordingly in order to keep the pace we want to be on. If things change and we do not, we still change, but at the control of outside and not inside.  Change does not mean (though it may in some cases) leaving some things fully behind. It may mean we do MORE of some things, less of others or a combination of both. The only MUST is to do something; doing nothing is becoming a passenger. We also do not change for the sake of change. We change to help us adapt effectively. Effectively is defined as getting us to the goal or destination that we set forth. We don't lower our goal/standards when things change; we ourselves rise up.  It's a choice every day and many times during the day as well to rise up. Others will choose t

Motivational Monday #258: Give Up

Image
  Just because something use to be a road block in the past does not mean it has to be now. YOU CAN DO IT! Give up on thinking that hard is impossible. Give up on believing that the idea or thing in your heart is not for you. Give up on allowing outside opinions the power to hold you down.  When you give up these things it allows you to PICK UP what you need to achieve the goals you have in your head and your heart. Potential is a great things, but it becomes truly beautiful when you embark on the journey towards achievement of it. On the journey you will have obstacles, don't give up. On this journey you will encounter people who will hinder you as well as people that enable you; mind that difference. On your journey you will also be inspiring others by your words and actions for them to Give up as well, so they can PICK UP & Go as you are.

Motivational Monday #261: Resilience Recipe

Image
  In life:  Adversity will happen. Change will happen. Obstacles will rise up. They can be internal or external.  They can be large or small. They can throw you off of your purpose, or not. That is up to us. We can always move forward, towards our goals despite adversity. When your goals & priorities are clearly defined it makes it easier; not easy, but easier. If you are struggling when adversity hits, visit your vision and if you don't have one write it down. There is something powerful when things go from in the air to written down.  Approach your Vision proactively, knowing that adversity will come daily thorough small or large challenges. It's what we do next that matters. YOU CAN...maintain your core purpose and integrity in the face of changing circumstances. We may get bent, stretched, pressed and pulled; it will be uncomfortable, but being resilient means we return back to to our center of who we are.
