Focus and Inspiration Without Resistance

Focus and Inspiration Without ResistanceDoes this happen to you?A great idea pops into your head. Your heart fills with excitement. Nothing can stop you - except that you feel stuck in quicksand. The more you fight, the deeper you sink. It seems that the only way out is to give up on your dream - again.Let’s not do that this time.Feeling inspired to make a change in your life is terrific. It can also be scary. Think of it as survival.Your mind is wired to survive. That means avoiding anything bad and seeking everything good. Until you know for sure, everything is bad. Resistance is the automatic result.When you are ready to act on your inspiration, focus on the good coming and do your best to ignore anything that feels like quicksand.  You could say, “It’s about resisting your resistance.”  Inspiration Without Resistance. That’s how you live the life you’ve always wanted. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Stress-Free Weekly Productivity

Stress-Free Weekly ProductivityI have a saying -“Next year begins THIS year. Next month begins THIS month. Next week begins THIS week.”If you want to stay on track, accomplish your goals, and enjoy life more - you MUST take control of your calendar. It’s easier than you think:1) Life will come at you FAST! Be sure to schedule any significant and can’t miss life events at least one year in advance. Put it on the calendar and block it out. You can always change your mind.2) Hold your space. Decide in advance what you will be doing with your days. When will you work on projects? When will you see clients? When will you have fun? 3) Never end one week without locking in your schedule for the next - and stick to it. The future is always brighter when your day-to-day focus fulfills your goals this week. Focus, my friend. Focus. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Best Kind of Relationship

The Best Kind of RelationshipThe quality of your life is a direct result of your relationships. Tony Robbins said that. There are three ways to play the relationship game, whether it's a personal, professional, or business relationship. There is only one way to win.1) All relationships begin with two independent individuals. If you remain independent, you will never connect.2) Some relationships become co-dependent. Developing this kind of relationship means losing individuality. Isn't that what attracted you in the first place?3) Combining your skills, passions, and identity is the best way. The result will be an interdependent relationship. The strength of an individual. The power of a team. It doesn't get any better than that. Learn more about your ad choices.

Being a Good Quitter

Being a Good QuitterHas anybody ever said to you, "it's good to be a quitter?”Probably Not. That’s why it’s so important today that you pay attention today.Being a good quitter isn’t an excuse. It should never be an option for making things easier. Instead, quitting is a wise choice. You choose to quit when your progress has you going around in circles or has stopped.That's when things get interesting.Once you are committed to an idea that is important to you, it can be difficult to allow yourself to quit. Stuck in a lousy job, terrible relationship, destructive behavior? Your internal sense of "Identity" will compel you to hold to the very end.That may not be wise.Listen closely when your inner voice begins to sound a warning. There's no need to wait for the inevitable. Trust your gut and change your direction fast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How To Multiply Your Time

How To Multiply Your TimeWouldn’t it be great if you could create more time in your day without giving anything up?  The secret is how you prioritize the projects already on your plate. That requires a simple understanding:1) Working on multiple products simultaneously only delays completing all the projects.2) When you complete a product, not only is it off your plate, it begins producing your expecting results. It also frees up time to move on to your next project.The next time that you are trying to find more time, ask -“What can I finish right now that will give me more time tomorrow - and every day after that?”You will love how you have so much more time in your day.
