One of the foundational teachings that I constantly am telling others is that they must plan their day, they must own a planner, and they must carry it with them at all times. Then, when someone makes an appointment with them, they have it with them (at all times) to be able to make note of the appointment immediately!
So, great in theory, but I have always had one tiny problem – I don’t like all of the planners out there! I’ve often debated about just designing and making my own planner to suit my needs (and that still . . . → Read More: Build Your Own Planner

As I was finishing up the power washing of my front deck the other day, I was thinking ahead to my next project – putting in a raised garden bed.
Time spent power washing is good for letting your mind wander, and contemplating life, so I was doing just that when it occurred to me that business is just like a garden!
In order to make my garden bed, I had to rototill the soil. This is much like preparing yourself for business. You need to get rid of limiting beliefs and fears that could hold you back from . . . → Read More: Your Business Is Like a Garden

What an amazing adventure the 31 Goals in 31 Days Challenge has been! I have been able to accomplish many things, and while some others are still “works in progress”, overall it was a great experience both personally and in my businesses.
I thought I would recap each of the 31 days so this will be a bit of a long post, and I’ll also let you know how I’m doing now toward these goals and what the outcome was. So, here we go…

In just about everything I do, I am for simplifying. I love decluttering, and reducing stress and chaos. I also aim for the same simplification in my business, and I am always looking for ways to streamline. This allows me to get more done in less time.
As you may know, the internet is full of wonderful information, and it can also be overwhelming, especially for people (like me) who use the internet to market their company, or generate leads for their network marketing business or direct sales business.
Let me ask you,

One of the most important things that you can do to ensure that you will have a successful business is to have consistency. Consistency in doing the basics of your business. Consistency in showing people a business presentation (for those in network marketing) every day, or doing a home show (for those in direct sales) at least once a week.
For myself, personally, since I have both a network marketing business and a direct sales business, I do both business presentations and home shows.
Each week I have a goal of doing one business presentation a day for my . . . → Read More: 31 Goals in 31 Days – Day 22 – Consistency

I am a big Norman Vincent Peale fan, and one of my favorites is The Power of Positive Thinking. Actually, I’m just a big fan of thinking positively in general. There are a few ways that I incorporate positive thinking into my day.
First, I love positive affirmations. These are statements that are your goals written in the present tense, as though you had already completed them. There can be no negative words used either (like debt). These are best read every morning and every evening. I’ve gotten away from this routine a bit, but I noticed that when . . . → Read More: 31 Goals in 31 Days – Day 17 – The Power of Positive Thinking

Recently, my brother wrote a post about creating a Modular Day for his 100 Goals in 100 Days Challenge. This got me thinking. Long ago, and before children, I actually did follow what he was suggesting by creating a Modular Day (although I didn’t call it that).
Today, as my goal, I’m going to revisit this concept, because having a list of things to do in certain times during your day, a routine of sorts, makes it easier to accomplish what you need to do and also speeds up the process since you already know what comes next, without . . . → Read More: 31 Goals in 31 Days – Day 14 – Modular Day

WHOA!! Here’s one to bookmark and listen to every time you are feeling down or discouraged! This is a fantastic speech from Art Williams – what a great way to start the morning – makes me want to stand up and say, “AMEN!” Enjoy and have a blessed day!
