You may have set our New Year’s resolutions and are determined that this year it will be different. But take yourself forward to December 2010 - will you be looking back on this year the way you looked back on the last one? Will your dreams and goals be recognised? Will you be looking back on 2010 and saying – * Wow, that was my best year ever! * What a fantastic year! * And I’m looking forward to a fabulous future! Wouldn’t that be great? And setting and reaching your goals is easy if you have a system for getting you where you want to go.

There are three areas you must focus on in order to achieve the success you desire. In difficult times like these it is absolutely critical that you learn these three key skills and apply them every day in your business and life. Self-Discipline One of the most difficult things to master when you are self-employed is maintaining self-discipline. It is too easy to become distracted or lose sight of what is really important. In times like these it is very important to stay focused on the big picture.

rn Life is not a myth. It’s a reality where many of our dreams come true. There are some dreams which may not be fulfilled which don’t mean that they are impossible. It means that the efforts which we make to achieve those dreams are not enough. Many of us will disagree to this fact, but, facts are always hard to accept. Many of us will say that “No we made our effort to achieve those dreams but we failed (or) we realized that these can be possible only in dreams and no

It is impossible to remove all Fear from our lives. Fear is a natural emotion and we are all human – It is normal and natural to experience some degree of fear in our lives. We can feel fear for many different reasons including the following: • Fear of doing something new • Fear of the future • Fear that we are not good enough • Fear of change • Fear of ending a relationship / job • Fear of other people It is impossible to state a definitive list of fears as we are all different. What one person feels fear about – another person may embrace and feel excitement about.

Spring Break is finally here and you are excited. No school, classes or teachers for one whole week, I can relate to your excitement. What are your plans? Are you doing the big beach trip to Daytona Beach? Or will you just sleep in and do nothing for a week? I would like to encourage you to choose wisely, as this decision can have an effect on your future – positively or negatively.

I spend my time generally between two places and I have come to notice something significant in my personal and professional (coaching) life. Winter, especially late winter in (Copenhagen) Denmark is harsh. This is in great contrast to my home in San Diego, Califo ia (USA) where the Sun is shining or at least it is bright most days, people are out and about in the winter months exercising, taking classes and visibly energetic. Back here in Denmark, a beautiful little country in which to visit or live, I should add, the winter is challenging.

We all have habits, some good, some bad. Or shall I say, some that move us forward toward an inspiring future and others that keep us stuck in the past. Habits are where the intersection between life and business becomes even more blurry than usual (and those of you that read me regularly know I have a pretty expanded concept of how life and business intersect). This is why I wanted to share my most powerful daily habits with you.

“Cause Life is So Brief and Time is a Thief” – Rod Stewart from the song, “Young Turks” I had the great fortune of deciding to no longer watch television about two years ago. I was going through a time in my life where I was taking a very deep look at what it would take for me to go to a ...

How would you score the following questions on a scale 1-10? (1 – never at all ……… 10 – always the best it can be!) Find out: 1. I am excited about my life and inspired by my work and leisure activities. 2. Others comment on how happy I am and what a joy it is to be around me. 3. I know my top passions, those things that matter most to me personally and professionally. 4. I make decisions based on my passions. 5.

I'm sure there are times when you may not realize or may often forget how powerful you are. A lot of us go through our daily lives, hoping wishing and praying for things to be better than they are. The fact is they can be better than they are! It's all up to you! You are the one who has to make the decision about how you want things to go. When you pray and ask for guidance and wisdom, you must have strong faith and know that the answer will come. It's up to you to remain open to receive the answer. When you have a problem or an issue with something, you also hold the solution.

When someone says the "M" word ("money"), what sort of reaction do you have? If you’re like most people with a pulse that are drawing breath, you likely have some sort of charge about it. After all we have given money SO much power over us that when we think of it the emotions and thoughts can be overwhelming. As I say the word money to you, what immediately pops into your head? * Not enough, lack, scarcity * Greed * It rules my life and has me in its grips * Money is bad, unspiritual, dirty

We all face the moments where we lose inspiration and excitement for what we do. Usually we focus on employee engagement but it affects as much the entrepreneurs, and business owners as the leaders of a team, department or organization. According to a 2015 Gallup study, only 32% of the American Workforce is engaged and globally only 13%. This costs the economy billions. But on a smaller scale, just think of how much is costs YOU as the entrepreneur or leader who is not deeply inspired about what you are doing.

I recently came across this well writte LinkedIn post, “Must read article on how our lives will change dramatically in 20 years” <https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/must-read-article-how-our-lives-change-dramatically-20-delahunty> that is extremely fascinating. It is actually based on a Facebook post by Udo Gollub <https://www.facebook.com/udo.gollub/posts/10207978845381135?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_detail_base%3BiBy7ePZbSAGupRud4ZVF5Q%3D%3D> who went April 2016 to the SingularityU Germany Summit in Berlin.

I find it fascinating that people we perceive as rational are totally using their intuition. What is your experience with intuition? I’d love to hear about it and how it has affected your life? Everybody knows Albert Einstein, the German-bo physicist who developed the theory of relativity. As the most influential physicist of the 20th century, we would expect that he is very rational and fact-driven. Yet, he is known for using his intuition and we attribute to him a large number of quotes about intuition and imagination. For example: - “The only really valuable thing is intuition.”r

I love that Army commercial “Be All you can be”. You know the jingle. I like it because it’s about being your best you. Of course, they’re implying that the only place to do that is in the army. I don’t agree with that. I believe that you can be your best self everywhere you go. It’s not about the army or even the people around you. It comes from inside and is a lifelong endeavor. It’s not like riding a bike. You know… once you know how, you can do it forever. It’s about getting better and better as you go along. I believe that once you stop growing and learning, your life is over.

It’s no secret that leaders today must be able to balance many responsibilities and roles in their quest to succeed in business. Leaders are pulled in many different directions and can find themselves caught between what they need to do in order to create a winning team and keeping all their constituencies happy. One of the big mistakes a leader can make is to believe the development of their team isn’t their top priority. The best run companies are the ones that devote significant time and resources to developing the skill, values, beliefs and identity of their team.

Are you aware that most of our "beliefs" are formed long before we have the ability to use critical thinking? Young children are introduced to ideas and opinions long before their brains can distinguish whether those concepts are accurate, valid, credible, healthy, and so on. This is why so many of our adult problems stem from our earliest years.

One demand after another from others? Do you feel that you have lost the real you? Is your life full of “should” and “have tos”?r

Our attitude is going to determine where we go in life; it is the foundation of failure or success and also significantly affects our health and well-being. You have most likely heard expressions such as “we can always look for the positive or the negative in any situation,” and “we can take control over a situation or let the environment control us.” This is easily said. But how can we affect our attitude, how can we take charge of our life? Let’s find out what attitude truly is.

Do you use procrastination to avoid doing things that you actually WANT to do? Do you procrastinate things such as... Exercising? Doing the dishes? Writing a report? Making networking or sales prospecting phone calls? Writing articles and blog posts? How about something as seemly simple as putting gas in the car? Well... you are NOT ALONE. Procrastination is OFTEN the result of your mind being overwhelmed by either too many choices or the inability to see any choices (what I refer to as the "black screen of nothingness in my mind").

What is a Plan B? A Plan B is the answer when your life is not heading in the direction you wanted to head, Plan B is when you have been searching for a job for over a year and nothing has happened.

The numbers have been staggering each month with numbers hitting over 600,000. The numbers of available jobs are limited and many employers are playing games with potential new hires. What do I mean by games?

When faced with the opportunity to try something new – what reaction do you have? • Dread? • Fear? • Start making excuses? • Run for the hills?

Even the best of intentions will prevent us from achieving goals, achieving success, eliminate procrastination, and much more, because we often weave excuses into the framework of our daily lives. Well, the time has come to learn to alter our behaviors and take control of our lives. Ahhh.... my kids are all back in school (sigh) and I'm sitting here at my desk (in a blissfully quiet house) reflecting back over the years and thinking how quickly the years have flown by.

The 8th of March, is the International Women’s Day, in memory of a protest that took place on the 8th of March 1857, held by women textile workers in New York, asking for better working conditions. However, nowadays the International Women’s Day, has lost its political background, turning into an expression of sympathy from men to women, via presents and flowers. It is being held by the United Nations since 1975, to highlight women’s rights and problems. Below, you can see a plenty of quotes that I chose, to remind us our unique nature. “Women are always beautiful”, Ville Valo.

You (and I) make assumptions many times each day. Even though some of them may be backed by factual science, most of the time, those assumptions are just plain wrong. Don't let your assumptions limit your possibilities. "Assumptions are the death of possibilities." James Mapes Humans can't fly to the moon. The human body can't run a mile under 4 minutes. Women are too emotional to be leaders. The sun revolves around the earth (which is flat). Telephones are only for talking and listening. Animal species never change. Black people are inferior to white people.r

Procrastination and perfectionism often go hand in hand. Do you put things off because they’re never good enough? If you spend all your time trying to make things perfect, it’s no surprise they NEVER get done. It’s said that successful people fail more than unsuccessful people. Why do I think it’s important? You can learn from your mistakes. You can correct your mistakes.

So, change...what is it? When we talk of change, we talk about starting something new, becoming and making something different, replacing someone or something; from little things such as putting on different clothes, driving a different car to bigger transformations such as changing daily habits, a new career or relocation. "Instead of thinking outside the box, get rid of the box." ~ Deepak Chopra

Although having self doubt is common for many this 'cancer' can easily keep you from becoming successful! Actually it is quite natural for doubt to take hold especially when you're faced with something unfamiliar to you! The fear of the unknown can be paralyzing for some and in many cases this is exactly what keeps people from building a profitable business online! Being the internet environment is a very dynamic one, change is always taking place therefore leaving everybody

Recently when scheduling a guest for my radio show I had a comment regarding God. I told the guest that I was excited to see that she brings the book of Titus to her business; it is the inspiration for her. Her response to me was I never know what to say to folks in Los Angeles with all the liberal Christians and new age thinkers, they usually do not focus on what God’s word says, as it is with no modifications. This brought to mind an interesting question what is the difference between giving it to God and giving it to the universe?

How to become a counselor - How that word is spelt will depend very much on where abouts you live. In the Uk it has two lls. It is good to help others and it is even better if you can help them to transform their lives. To take a person who is going through an emotional torment or who is undergoing an emotional improvement in their goals or their personality. To take someone who is anxious and turn them into someone who is at peace with themselves is wonderful. To take a fla

There are several ways of getting rid of fear. Some people advocate facing it head on. That kind of person will lead you to the edge of the diving board and then give you a push. No doubt they do the same if you are in front of them with a parachute strapped to your back and hesitating before you jump. This gung-ho approach works for some things but it’s difficult to do it by yourself, in the same way that it’s difficult to inflict pain on yourself. So if you have to be self–motivating you’re probably not going to take that route. Another approach is to avoid fear completely.

Are you good at silence? When our boys were a bit younger we used to play The Silent Game – you know, the first person to speak (break the silence) is ‘out’. This game can be difficult for chatter-boxes but relatively easy for people who don’t really say much anyway. Which type are you? I could go on to talk about our silence when others need help but I’ll keep that for another day.

Most people strive to have more and be more - we want more money, rewarding work, enhanced relationships, optimal health, fitness, wellbeing and so much more. Clearly, we are programmed to measure our effectiveness by what we see. When we see our results, for example our bank account, our profit, our weight or whatever we are working on - we measure our success, our accomplishments and even measure ourselves accordingly. If the results are not what we want them to be, we keep thinking about the negative results, the lack of progress and it fills our conscious mind.
