Overcome Fear and Doubt

Are fear and doubt holding you back? F.E.A.R. has been defined as False Expectations Appearing Real and the only way to overcome your fear and doubt is by taking action now! The time you spend thinking, planning, and anticipating about getting something done will not make it happen.

Don't attempt to wait for the perfect opportunity to accomplish something or to avoid a situation you may have been presented. Just jump in head first and you'll realize that it is all mind over matter. Once you face your challenge head on, you will experience a breakthrough that will replace your fear and doubt with courage and confidence. Don't wait, take action now.

It's Ok To Be Different

Do you want to make a difference?  Well, to make a difference, you must choose to be different.  Being different is a challenge that you may be facing now or may have faced in the past.  The truth is, the struggle is really with yourself and not your family or friends.  Yes, you may experience negativity with family and friends, but you can choose to be different and see the positive in any situation you face.

Being different is not the norm.  In fact, normal people call different people "crazy" and in my book CRAZY = SUCCESS!  Normal people are always wishing and dreaming for a better life, but are not crazy enough to take action to get there.  You are the answer to your own destiny.  Although the path you choose to take may be different from the masses, you are choosing to take action and control your life. This one decision will not only make a difference in your life, but it will help make a difference in someone else's life one day.

You Can't Succeed as a Millionaire with a $40,000 Mindset!

I'm sure you've heard of the game show... "Who Want's to be a Millionaire?" It is clear that many people want or say they want to be a millionaire. In fact, many people will spend their lifetime chasing millionaire status with lotto tickets and the thought of a better lifestyle. I'm not sure if you know, but simply wanting something will not produce the end result most people search for. The truth is... you have to have a strong compelling why, desire, commitment, and ultimately a new mindset.

Many people are stuck in their current salary status wishing for millionaire status and have failed to condition their mind to the type of abundance they hope for. It is your divine right to receive! Yet, many people don't believe that statement because of the following phrase... "It is better to give than to receive." Now, I'm not saying you should never give or share your talents, time, or treasures. But, I am saying don't get caught up in giving so much that you forget your right to receive. If you're reading this blog, you've probably seen or read The Secret and understand the Law of Attraction. All of that is good, but here is what most people forget... the word "ATTRACTION" has the word "ACTION" in it. So, take action and condition your mindset today. Below you'll find two videos I use to condition my mind EVERYDAY! Enjoy...

Who's Your Coach?

It has been said that success is a journey and not a destination, and I truly believe that. So, take a moment to reflect on your current journey. Who is on the road to success with you? I'm not talking about your family, your friends, or even your business partners. I am talking about that person that can push you to greatness. Think about successful athletes at the top of their game...Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods. Have you ever thought about what makes these two athletes champions?

Did you know that Michael Jordan wasn't a born champion? In fact, he didn't even make his high school basketball team when he tried out. Yet, he didn't stop at rejection. He overcame rejection and became the best! Look at Tiger Woods. What makes him so great? He practices 100 consecutive six-foot putts everynight before he goes to bed. If he misses one, he starts over. It's clear that both of these athletes have desire and commitment to be successful, but they also share one thing alongside all champions...a COACH!

Sometimes desire and commitment is not enough to be successful. The key component most success seekers are missing is a Coach. Why do you need a Coach?

• A Coach will help you see things you would've normally missed or simply avoided.
• A Coach will make you focus and commit to a plan or strategy.
• A Coach will push you to run an extra mile even when it hurts to pull greatness out of you.
• A Coach will be direct and honest no matter what the situation is.
• A Coach will share tips based on years of experience.
• A Coach will listen to you when no one else will.
• A Coach will help you develop a plan or strategy that will allow you to become more profitable.
• A Coach will help you develop into the best person you can be.

Now that you have the full recipe for success, it's time to take action. Who is your Coach?

Focus

With the hustle and bustle of everyday life in the middle of an excruciating Recession, it's difficult to remain focused! Unfortunately, the lack of focus with the activity around us has led to chaos and stress. Most of the U.S. population is currently concerned with dwindling 401-Ks, layoffs, salary cuts, and rising economical costs. So, how do you turn that stress into success?

FOCUS

After speaking with one of my business partners today, I had to share this amazing acronym he formulated on the fly. F.O.C.U.S. is simply a manner of "Filtering Out Confusion & Unnecessary Stress!" All I have to say is wow because we often stress ourselves out with things we have no control over! It's time we all learn how to dramatically reduce the amount of distractions and interruptions in our lives and increase the amount of time focused on areas that will yield us the most profit and productivity . Ultimately, you'll reach a point of concentration and long-term success!

Time Management Tips

It’s clear that life has tons of distractions. We are in the middle of a Recession, a Presidential Campaign, and the normal struggles of life. At the same time, we are all making a fanatical attempt to juggle our time. Time management continually affects individuals on a daily basis. Have you ever really thought about why you just can’t get it all done?

The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines time as “the measured or measurable period during which an action, process, or condition exists or continues…a nonspatial continuum that is measured in terms of events which succeed one another from past through present to future.” In other words, time is already measured for you in seconds, minutes, hours, months, years, etc. Like the definition above, we also relate time to the past, present, and future. Have you ever thought about where time really exists?

• Where does the past exist?
• Where does the present exist?
• Where does the future exist?

Let’s look a little closer to home for the answers. I’m sure whatever you’re thinking is a little different from what I’m about to reveal. Both the past and the future exist in your mind. Think about it, 50,000 of our 60,000 daily thoughts are the same ones we had yesterday because we are too busy focusing on the past. Likewise, when you think about the future it all exists in your mind until it takes place. Which leads me to the present. Have you figured out where the present exists yet? Well, the truth is…it doesn’t. The present is simply a moment that happens so fast, it can be placed in the past before you blink.

Now that you have an understanding of how time is already measured for you, the present is simply a moment that doesn’t exist, and that the past and future both exist in your mind; I’m ready to expose what you’re truly managing. If you’re still thinking time, guess again. Your time is managed by your thoughts; therefore, you’re managing your thoughts. We all make decisions based on how we think.

• TIP #1 – We all play several roles in life. You may be a parent, a coach, a teacher, a consultant, and a spouse. Ask yourself, what roles do I play? Write them down.
• TIP #2 – Assign priorities to each role.
• TIP #3 – Now determine how to spend your time based on the roles and priorities in your life.

All in all, time management is an illusion. Since the present is moving so fast, you have to manage the future and the past in your mind. Managing the present is simple if you prioritize your time based on the roles in your life.

FINAL THOUGHT: The true sequential flow of time is NOT the past, the present, and the future. It’s actually, the future, the present, and then the past. Think about it, your goals are set for the future, you goals are attained in a moment of time (the present), and after that moment your goals are simply a memory of the past.

Healthy Coffee???

Most people will never group the two words COFFEE and HEALTHY together! In fact, most coffee lovers will laugh if you ask them how healthy their favorite brand of coffee is. If you are laughing with a puzzled look on your face right now, you may want to straighten up for the NEW obsession that just hit North America three weeks ago: HEALTHY ORGANIC COFFEE!

To be honest, I’m not a daily coffee drinker myself. If truth be told, I prefer to have a sporadic cup unlike most of my family, friends, and business partners. We’ve all heard the phrase, “curiosity killed the cat.” Well, I guess you can say I was the cat because once I heard about this unique brand of coffee I had to give it a try! Like many of you that try new products, I was looking to critique this new brand to kill all the claims. Well what I found was, in just a half of a cup, the same gourmet taste we all love. But guess what it was missing, that bitter after taste we’ve all shared…YUCK! And as far as my health, I guess you’ll have to tune into my blog because I’ve been keeping a journal of my allergies and I can’t wait to share all the updates with you.
