Recently, I had the opportunity to provide consultative work in New York and this month it’s Boston and Cincinnati. On the flight back from New York to the west coast, I was thinking about my past ups and downs. We all have them and I want to inspire you to look at it in a different way. We all experience times when our business, career and income are not flourishing. We get discouraged and focus on what does not work. We ruminate on the past and what we could have done or said, or maybe not done or said, and we rarely think about what went really well in the past.

“The road to success is not a smooth way; but it is a rugged path, filled with obstacles which can only be surmounted by patient toil.” – Ellen G. White Some people believe that success has a step by step procedure you may follow for you to be able to succeed.

The old saying says that April showers bring May flowers. However, what happens if you didn’t plant anything? It’s really hard for something to grow when you don’t plant. Of course this is just an analogy and yet it absolutely applies to your life as well. What are you putting out there? What are you doing today that you’ll see the benefits of next week, month, or even year? The world we live in is very much about instant gratification and yet the best things take time to cultivate and grow. Are you willing to plant today so you can reap the

To turn his vision into reality, the Founding Father summoned prominent agricultural experts from around the world to the oasis at Buraimi. After seeing the barren land, most decided to return home.

If you are ready to move beyond your comfort-zone and let go of the old, here are few mighty steps you can take: 1.

The modern world changes very rapidly. What was true and accepted a few years ago is now laughably wrong. How a person thinks is defined by a set of “ground rules”- a set of constants unconsciously put down by a person for himself, but, in a world that changes this fast, no “ground rule” is really valid for long. This results in confusion in people. What does this suggest? We need to change how we think. The world isn’t as simple as it used to be a decade ago. To st
