Million Dollar Thinking Habits

What is a million dollar thinker, anyway? Million dollar thinkers think about things like money and making decisions in a different way from the average person, using both the conscious and the subconscious mind. As an example: suppose you were $10,000 in debt. The average person would focus on the debt, how to pay it, how to get out of it. They may take on a second job to pay the debt. The focus, no matter what, would be on the debt. A million dollar thinker, on the other hand, would take that same situation and look at it 180 degrees differently.

Manifesting Made Easy

Manifesting has become a popular buzzword within the metaphysical community and with “The Secret” being so popular, it has made its way into more of the mainstream. What does it mean to you? Making your dream a reality? Yes, absolutely. But, how – that’s the question. Lots of people would like to find the answer. We aren’t all born knowing exactly how to achieve results in our lives.

Knowing Your Strengths and Weaknesses

I sat among a pile of papers and cried. Everywhere I looked, I saw more work to do, and the longer I looked at it, the more overwhelmed I became. Finally, I burst into tears. “Why can’t I just figure out a system for all of this paper?” I said to myself. Here I was, an intelligent woman, and I could not figure out how to set up a filing system. I felt stupid. Really stupid. So I got up and tried again. And again. And again. Each time I attempted to set up a new system, something wouldn’t work, something I hadn’t thought of, and I’d have to start all over again.

7 Keys to a Successful Life

Much has been written on what it takes to win the game of life. A lifetime of experience says it’s not as complicated as most people make it. Here’s my list. Take what you want. 1. You can’t succeed alone. Every story of success is a story of people working together, each contributing their own unique talents, skillsets and abilities. Do what you do best. And let others fill in the gaps. 2. Perseverance always wins. You can’t fail if you don’t quit. Find yet another way to make it work. Whatever *it* is for you.

Fear

Let’s take a close look at the concept of fear. Not fun, you say? Fear isn’t your problem, you say? Are you sure? Or is that denial talking? Like many people, I had unconsciously run much of my life based on my fears. I was always finding excuses for my self-defeating behavior, unfortunate circumstances or bad things that happened to me. I procrastinated and blamed my failures on poor planning, someone else’s timing and someone else’s issues.

Attack Strategies for Email Sanity

There’s only one thing I hate worse than mopping the floors… …and that’s dealing with the endless emails that come into my inbox. I’m not talking about the stupid once-in-a-lifetime-do-it-right-now-or-die kinds of emails, I’m talking about the legitimate things you need to deal with. Things like requests from vendors, employees and contractors. Or “what do you want for your birthday” emails from Mom. If you know anyone that sends email (and I’m sure you do), you are dealing with this too.

Living Your Purpose and Mission – A Three Step Plan

Are you living your purpose? Do you know your mission? “What am I here for? What is my purpose, in this lifetime?” You may be asking yourself these questions. More and more people are these days. There have been hundreds of books written on this important and debatable subject. Suppose I told you that your purpose on this planet was to serve other people? What does that mean to you? How does that make you feel? Does it bring up more questions in your mind? Does it make you nervous?

We Are the World…at What Price?

It’s been 4 days since we said goodbye to the King of Pop - or as some would now call him, “The Greatest Artist that Ever Lived.” Some were shocked by the news, most saddened and some don’t care at all. Whatever your personal opinion of Michael Jackson, there is no denying the massive price this person paid for having so much success in his life. And along with that success came the high price of pain. For many, it is inconceivable that someone famous, wealthy or in the perfect relationship could have anything but joy in their life.

Stay on Target

Today’s mantra: stay on target. Some days, you just wake up apathetic or discouraged, for what could be no reason at all. Oh sure, there’s always some reason, but it’s probably not at all what you think. I mean, there are so many blessings to count, so much goodness around but sometimes you just have to let yourself feel poopy for a little bit before you move on. It’s not that you’re unhappy or miserable with everything in your life.

What happens when you “What if?”

It was 3:30 p.m. on Sunday afte oon, and I was walking out of the movie theater with a giant knot in the pit of my stomach. I had just seen the movie “2012?. After going in with much anticipation and knowing that I would need to keep a strong mind to be able to stay positive in the midst of so much chaos and negativity, I was astonished to find that in my own mind, I had created a massive dose of anxiety and fear in my mind and body. How could that be? After all, aren’t I some kind of new thought guru that understands how thoughts can create emotion?

3 Tips to Getting More Done with Less Stress

ip #1 Feeling like you can’t get it all done? Schedule Focus Time every day. This is the time you are not to be disturbed. Turn off the phone, shut down email and determine your biggest need for action at this time. Then set your timer and get it done! Tip #2 Tired of losing phone messages? Start a new habit today. Get a small notebook and NEVER retrieve voice mail unless that notebook is in front of you. When you get voice mail, write down the person’s name, phone number and reason for calling. Then schedule a time to make callbacks.

“Something’s got to change….”

Every year about this time, I start thinking about what my theme word will be for next year. Then, in December, I will take the last 2 weeks and reflect, review and clean up whatever I need to in order to keep thing rolling. This year has definitely been a year of high-impact change. (Funny, when I added that to our mission statement to help others create high-impact change in the shortest amount of time, I guess I was really talking to myself.

Frustration, Confusion and Fear…oh my!

Just got off the phone with a consulting client who has restructured the people in her business to be aligned with the appropriate job. (Honestly, if I only did one thing all day, it would be style and values testing because it makes people understand their relationships so well!) Not only is she happier, but so are the other people on the team. According to Gang & Gang, 55% of people are in the wrong jobs.

What do you want?

“What do you want?” I call this the four words that move you forward. I find that most people have never really taken the time to sit down and ask themselves this question, and then not only see themselves with what it is they really want, but imagine their future with no limits. Can you do it? Now ask yourself – if you had a future with no limits… * What would your days look like? * Imagine you have no demands placed on you, and you too have the power of choice with you at all times.

5 Things You Must Know About Sudden Success

These are very interesting times. The world seems to be polarized - truly feast or famine. Businesses are going under and the cries of “the economic crisis” ripple through the planet like waves ripple out when you drop a rock in the water. Fear, failure and the world’s obsession with dramatic events blanket the airwaves. It’s almost impossible to ignore. But there’s something else going on - something nobody’s talking about. On the other side of the fear and failure are people and organizations that are experiencing massive success.

One Theme Equals Momentum and Success

“So what are your plans for next year?”, I asked a student the other day. He looked down, sighed, looked back up and said “Well, I’m going to work on a book, finish my real estate education, keep attending your teleclasses, work on my marketing plan, and – “ …I’d heard it a hundred thousand times, mostly from the creative, attention deficit entrepreneurs and small business owners I work with on a regular basis. “WAIT!” I interrupted. How can you focus on so many things at one time?

Who’s in charge?

Over the years, I’ve been doing a lot more life coaching (which I absolutely LOVE) helping people over panic, anxiety, worry, fear and self-confidence challenges, along with a host of other emotional and mental challenges that keep you stuck and feeling alone. I used to think that getting things done was all “mind over matter”, but not now. You see, you already have inside of you all of the resources you need to get what you want, change what you want and be who you want.

Getting ready to get ready

Stuck is not a fun place to be. Yet for so many, stuck seems to be a state that is stubbornly present, even defeating in the lives of so many. You know, the web site tweak that just has to be done before you promote, the sales script that needs to have every word perfect before you make the call, the distraction of finding something new to create instead of focusing on the thing that’s in front of you.

Accidental Millionaire – the Next Chapter

It was a room filled with about 300 networking engineers. True geeks, that’s for sure. I was there in the room to deliver a training to these high-level engineers about a subject they all loved – TCP/IP. As the training went on, I discussed protocol, troubleshooting, hacking (oh excuse me, I meant to say “breaking down patterns to achieve entry into a network”) ARP, RARP, PING and a hundred other protocols. We talked hexadecimal and binary numbering systems, packet loss and router tables.

Slow down to speed up

Just finished watching the movie Peaceful Warrior. (If you haven’t seen it, go grab a copy at the DVD store. It’s one you’ll want to see more than once). In the movie, Dan, the main character, has a very busy life. He’s a young college student and athlete, bound for the Olympics, he trains hard, plays hard and gets good grades. A certain feeling of uneasiness comes over him about his life, something he’s never had before.

10 Things I Learned On The Way to 10,000 Twitter Followers

While some have said I’m some kind of Twitter expert, let me tell you a little secret: a few months ago I had zero plans (yes ZERO) to use social media. I found it to be confusing, overwhelming and frankly not much fun. While I may have figured a few things out, in no way do I see myself as a guru of any kind.

A New Twist on Boosting Self-Confidence

She sat on the floor amongst a pile of papers and cried. Everywhere she looked, something needed to be done. Bills were stacked, envelopes strewn about, unopened cards and grocery receipts cluttered the room. All she needed was a good filing system – how hard could that be? Every day, smart people get caught in the “it should be so easy why can’t I do it” trap. Spending hours on a task or project that is not in your core strengths can make you feel frustrated, which in turn makes you feel dumb, which in turn blows your self-confidence.
