Productivity Means… Getting THE RIGHT things done when they need to be done Would you agree that productivity is predicated on having goals?  You need something to aspire to, something that motivates you to get up and move. Getting things done is the result of a mix of things.  Of course having goals is extremely important to the process as well. In this episode, I want to further explore the idea that goals are only a part of the productivity puzzle.  Setting THE RIGHT goals, creating a plan to achieve your goals and knowing how to tether your actions, mindsets, and affirmations to each goal will help you to make sure you actually accomplish what your dreams. I think you’ll find having the life you want and accomplishing your dreams is much more than time management, calendar blocking, and a vision.  Productivity, like most things, needs structure.  My hope is, you will learn from my experiences and find answers to your own productivity challenges by listening this week. Don’t wake on the first day of NEXT YEAR wishing you’d accomplished more. DO YOU NEED TO WORK ON YOUR MINDSET/ATTITUDE?

Getting To the Core of Manifesting Is it bogus? It sucks to fail. Your ego takes a hit, your confidence wavers, and it looks like all eyes are on you. It’s comforting to believe that wanting something bad enough or positively expressing desires could be the key to our success. MANIFESTING has been a huge topic lately and I wanted to see what all the hype was about. In this episode, I’m exploring it and answering the question… IS THE CONCEPT OF MANIFESTING BOGUST?   Franklin D. Roosevelt said, “The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.”  This quote stuck out to me because, in my investigation of manifesting, I came to a few conclusions.  One of which was, what I’ve heard and know of the subject is only the tip of the iceberg.  Another is to do it right, we need CLARITY… I was able to ascertain THREE key elements of manifestation that can’t be ignored.  I’m curious about what you think on the information, so be sure to leave a review and/or comment.
