“One very important aspect of motivation is the willingness to stop and to look at things that no one else has bothered to look at. This simple process of focusing on things that are normally taken for granted is a powerful source of creativity.”

–Edward de Bono

I collect sayings & use them in my life & my coaching.  I am a solopreneur & have to have a plan of what I want to accomplish-how I want to run my business…I’m very creative & have a zillion things I want to do.

One of the Million Dollar strategies that’s helped me experience rapid growth in my business is to make certain that my environment supports my success. What I’m talking about goes beyond cleaning out your desk drawer and simply hanging a crystal from your ceiling fan string.

Here’s what I mean: your environment stirs in you key thoughts, that then turn into strong emotions. Those emotions power your actions, which leads to you getting the results you desire.

As I’m sure most other people have been, I’ve been watching the Olympics with awe and amazement.

Seeing these young people reach the goals they want to achieve and receiving their medals, tells us that there are many people out there who know without a doubt that it’s absolutely possible to achieve what you want in life.

There are simple ways to guarantee the success of your projects. We’ll talk about one of them today–create an outcome that calls you to action.  Let me explain.

Creating a project with a real deadline in the external world is a project that calls you into action. Whether it is a new product launch, a workshop, or a new service, having a real deadline will keep you on track to completion and success. Step 1 is to create the press release for your adventure. Write it out in detail, including how people can sign up and get more information. The more detailed you write the release, the more action steps you’ll create for the project to be a success. Just follow your own lead to success. Make a list of the tasks you need to complete and put a date to them with a little wiggle room and tackling big projects will be a breeze.

Magnetism is a wonderful thing. We often hear that someone “has a magnetic personality”, or that they are “full of magnetism”, even that opposites attract “like magnets”. Why the fascination with magnetism? Perhaps because the term magnetism implies that the opportunity exists for something to be drawn to you easily and effortlessly. What if that thing is success, fame, or how about money?

Every year I create a “theme” for my success coaching business. I call it my “dream theme.” Your dream theme keeps you on track, keeps you from getting distracted, and fuels your dream, propelling you effortlessly forward.

Last year my dream theme was “alignment.” Every decision I made was measured against whether it was really, truly, 100% in alignment with my Unique Brilliance brand. If it wasn’t, then I stopped, made the necessary adjustments, or made a different decision.

The results weren’t just good, they were pretty spectacular! I’m making lots more money as a success coach and working even less, plus I’m enjoying a really peaceful lifestyle.

I keep hearing the words “we’re having a recession, things are so expensive, everything is worse than it ever was” yet people are still buying their Starbucks, smoking cigarettes and eating out.

If you know anything about me, you know that I encourage people to look at the bright positive side. To look at what you do have, not what you don’t have. Even if things are tougher for you at present, I encourage you to make a decision to look at this period of time as a time to redefine, rather than a time of recession. I recently heard someone say, “Although there’s a recession, I choose not to take part.” What a great way to look at things.
I know everything is relative however, if you have food on the table, a roof over your head, reasonable health and clothes on your back remember to give gratitude for what you do have instead of wishing for what you don’t have.

Somebody recently asked me if I was to describe my life as a genre what would I say? Would it be a comedy, a grand drama perhaps, a coffee table book or……………

I’d never been asked to define my life this way. My first thought was, now that I’m where I am do I really want to know? Of course I do, that’s how we continue to learn and what an interesting way to take a look.

It took me a while to be able to relate my life to a genre and I’m sure this is going to be an ongoing process, however, I’m going to share what I already discovered and that’s what life is about. An exciting journey of discovery and perseverance.

I know this is not how I usually write so I hope you will forgive me. I am however getting really concerned about what’s going on these days.

I find that here in the US, people either can’t get enough of what’s going on in the upcoming elections or they can’t get enough of all the negative things that are happening to people like Britney Spears.

I’ve been listening to all the senators who want us to make them president, judging, putting down and criticizing each other, saying almost anything to make the other look bad in some way.

This week I would like to talk about something that has come to the forefront in the news because it concerns me and it takes away from attracting what you want in life.

Smoking and Obesity. The two top causes of death in the US. Both are addictions. I don’t use words like wrong and bad so I’m not going to do that about these two topics either, neither do I judge. However, I will say they can both ruin your health.
