A Good Gesture Can Go a Long Way!

2011-01-27T09:26:00.000-08:00

One small, thoughtful gesture can make someone else's day...

1. Say "Good morning" to a person standing next to you in the elevator.
2. Pay the toll for the driver behind you.
3. Take a minute to direct someone who is lost, even though you're rushing.
4. Write a letter to a child who could use some extra attention. Kids love getting mail.
5. Offer to pick up groceries for an elderly neighbor, especially in extreme weather.
6. Give a homeless person your doggie bag.
7. Say "I love you" to someone you love.
8. Put a coin in an expired meter.
9. Help a mother carry her baby stroller up the subway stairs, or hold a door open for her.
10. Each time you get a new item of clothing, give away something old.
11. Take someone's shift as the car-pool parent.
12. Bring your assistant coffee.
13. Out of the blue, send flowers to a friend.
14. Say "please" and "thank you"—and really mean it.
15. When you're on a crowded train or bus, offer your seat to an elderly, disabled or pregnant person.

Work works....

2011-01-26T10:43:00.000-08:00

If you are looking to work from home and you want to know what separates the individuals that have created a successful business from the ones that haven't, it's the company you choose and the work you put into it. Once you find a great business to be a part of, you have to expect more from yourself than you ever have before. You need to educate yourself on the business, believe is what you are promoting, have a WHY for wanting to be there, set goals for yourself, and then work to create it.

Work works! That's all there is to it. If you want to succeed you will need to give up something to have the time to work. Always practice to be the best. Your success will be depend on your consistency and your well planned behavior.

Welcome Julie Stefan to the TEAM!

Happy New Year - 2011

2011-01-04T12:36:00.000-08:00

When I pulled up to the gym this morning I asked, "Why is the gym so busy today?". My boyfriend looked at me like I was crazy saying don't you remember, it's like this every year. Everyone's new year's resolution is to get in shape, make more money, spend more time with family.....etc.

Well today you could change that. Dont just fit it in your schedule a few months out of the year. Make time to make a better life for yourself. When you do that you will see that so many other things will come around. Our team had a great training call last night. Over and over again I was reminded that if I needed to make time I could. And that is the truth.

I look forward to 2011. I look forward to being a better person and doing more with this year than I did with the last. Who is with me?

Keely :)

Are you making time for your business?

2010-11-30T10:23:00.000-08:00

There are so many people out there that are great leaders and don't even know it. They don't take the time to invest into what they are doing. If you want to be a true leader you have to make time for it. Prioritize your day and make what you are doing a way of life. Once you do that you will find that the time you have made will pay you back far more than you ever imagined. Don't let every thing fall to the side where all you have is month after month of getting no where. Plan to be successful! I know I am :-)

PERSEVERANCE!

2010-11-02T08:47:00.000-07:00

What is perseverance?
*Perseverance is commitment, hard work, patience, endurance.
*Perseverance is being able to bear difficulties calmly and without complaint.
*Perseverence is trying again and again.

You show perseverance when you sacrifice things that are standing in your way of reaching your goals.
Turn off your TV, try something new, wake up earlier, and do things everyday that make you uncomfortable.

Good Morning Everyone!

2010-10-28T08:20:00.001-07:00

I thought I would remind you of one of my favorites quotes I try to live by every day....

"The successful person is the individual who forms the habit of doing what the failing person doesn't like to do."

So go out there and form great habits!

"If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things." - Albert Einstein

2010-10-06T09:22:00.000-07:00

That's a simple formula - Yet even today, most of us are still getting it wrong. We believe that happiness comes in a giant cardboard box or has four wheels and a supercharger. It’s not an easy lesson to learn, and most don’t learn it until they are significantly older. Happiness isn’t a shiny new piece of electronics, it’s not a swimming pool, nor a house, nor a city. Happiness is found inside of you. And in order to push the happiness outward so that it radiates into everything you do, you must feel great about yourself. There’s nothing that does that more than accomplishing a goal. What are your goals, and will you accomplish them?

I know I have my goals written down with a plan in place. I look forward to celebrating your goals and accomplishments.

Find your inner strength, it will allow you to do what ever you set your mind to.

2010-09-29T08:07:00.000-07:00

Finding your inner strength is like mind over matter. You have to really know yourself and explore yourself to find it. You can look into your past and present patterns and you can change them to achieve your highest potential. Use your positive skills to apply yourself.

I have been doing this in my personal life and it is helping me through things in my life I never imagined. It is amazing what you can do when you set your mind to it.

To all of you who feel like giving up

Tiny Frogs

2010-09-06T19:40:00.001-07:00

Once upon a time there was a bunch of tiny frogs.... who arranged a running competition.

The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.

A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants....

The race began...

Honestly:

No one in the crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower.

You heard statements such as:

"Oh, WAY too difficult!!"

"They will NEVER make it to the top."

or:

"Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!"

The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one....

Except for those, who in a fresh tempo, were climbing higher and higher....

The crowd continued to yell, "It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!"

More tiny frogs got tired and gave up....

But ONE continued higher and higher and higher....

This one wouldn't give up!

At the end everyone else had given up climbing the tower Except for the one tiny frog who, after a big effort, was the only one who reached the top!

THEN all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it?

A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the goal?

It turned out....

That the winner was DEAF!!!!

The wisdom of this story is:

Never listen to other people's tendencies to be negative or pessimistic.... because they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you -- the ones you have in your heart!

Always think of the power words have.

Because everything you hear and read will affect your actions!

Therefore:

ALWAYS be....

POSITIVE!

And above all:

Be DEAF when people tell YOU that you cannot fulfill your dreams!

STAY IN THE GAME IF YOU WANT TO WIN

2010-09-01T09:44:00.001-07:00

The more you try, the greater your chance of succeeding.
The law of averages is on your side.

Taking a risk is often your first necessary step toward success.

If you don't take some risks, you won't get the chance to succeed.

While you are trying, you are winning.

Never get discouraged.

Every wrong attempt is another step forward.

People that make no mistakes usually don't make anything.

Make up your mind not merely to overcome a thousand obstacles,

but to win in spite of a thousand defeats.

Your mistakes are stepping stones to success and your installment payments to victory.

You can't be a winner and be afraid to lose.

Initiative - Dr. John C. Maxwell

2010-08-30T18:41:00.000-07:00

It's cliche to say that every journey begins with a single step, yet it's true. Leaders don't wait for everything to be perfect before they move forward. They don't wait for all the problems or obstacles to disappear. They don't wait until their fear subsides. Leaders take initiative.

Leaders know the secret of momentum: once you take the first step and start moving forward, everything becomes clearer and easier. If momentum gets strong enough, problems begin to take care of themselves and new opportunities arise. But the benefits of momentum only come into play once a leader takes initiative.

As leaders, why are we sometimes timid or tentative when we should be taking action? In my experience and observation, there are six root causes of our procrastination.

SIX SOURCES OF PROCRASTINATION

1. We hesitate to do chores we don't enjoy.

For me, yard work has always been draining. I don't find pleasure in it, and there's a million other things I'd rather spend my time doing. When I was first married, I would procrastinate mowing the lawn until it grew into a small jungle. I knew mowing would make my home look nice and would please my wife, but I abhorred giving it my time and attention.

2. We hesitate to do activities we aren't good at doing.

I enjoy the arts, and I am fascinated by highly creative persons. However, I'm not particularly gifted in painting, drawing, or designing. That's why I avoid decorating. I enjoy a finely manicured Christmas tree, or an exquisitely decorated room, but I simply have no talent at making things look good. As a consequence, I will put off decorating as long as possible.

3. We hesitate to do what isn't on our agendas.

Human nature tends to be set in its ways. When changing circumstances make our plans obsolete, we resist making adjustments. We stubbornly hold to our old course of action and avoid altering our behavior.

4. We hesitate to solve situations that are likely to be messy

A prime example is confrontation. It's difficult to tell someone what they don't want to hear and probably won't respond well to being told. Dreading the possible outcomes, we dawdle and delay rather than initiating confrontation.

5. We hesitate to tackle a task that is high-energy and low-return.

As leaders, we are hard wired into getting the most bang for our buck. The same holds true with our time. We want to invest it profitably. As such, I have always been hesitant to put energy into relationships with high-maintenance donors or investors who aren't substantial contributors to the organization.

6. We hesitate to step into things we don't understand.

Hence the saying, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." My generation has had to come to grips with fast-moving technologies, and it hasn't been easy. I don't understand many features of GPS systems, iPods, or PDA's, and, as a result, I procrastinate adopting them into my life - even though I know they could be helpful to me.

VISION AND VALUES - THE ANTIDOTES TO PROCRASTINATION

Author John Kotter, says, "Most people don't lead their lives, they accept their lives. Leaders are the exception. In their mind's eye, they have a vision of exactly where they want to go. By keeping that vision in the forefront of their minds, leaders develop priorities, maintain focus, and, acquire a sense of urgency. The vision becomes the driving force behind everything a leader does.

Leaders with a vision are active rather than passive. Whereas most people follow the path of least resistance, visionary leaders refuse to settle for what's comfortable or easy. They shape their world rather than fitting into its mold.

In addition to following a vision, leaders relentlessly schedule their lives around their core values. Leaders are attuned to what they feel is important in life, and they align their activities to reflect those beliefs. Values dictate what they will do, what they will avoid, and where they will invest their most precious commodity - time.

THE POWER TO QUIT

You may have heard the saying, "Quitters never win, and winners never quit." Nothing could be further from the truth! Leaders are strategic quitters. They ruthlessly avoid activities that don't align with their vision or values. They know the power of "NO" when faced with opportunities that threaten to drift them away from their purpose.

I've quit a lot of things during my leadership journey: counseling, administrating, controlling, people-pleasing, and more. Quitting has been healthy for me because I've always quit for the right reasons.

VALID REASONS TO QUIT

You quit something you don't do well to start something you do well.

You quit something you're not passionate about to do something that fills you with passion.

You quit something that's doesn't make a difference to do something that does.

SUMMARY

To acquire more influence, taking initiative is a prerequisite. Leaders step forward when they clarify their vision and values. Knowing their purpose gives them a starting point, and a reason to act. By clearing out the clutter in their agendas, leaders recognize the power of quitting. Free from the handcuffs of over-commitment, leaders are able to choose the dreams they chase rather then drifting down the current of life's circumstances.

Influence

2010-06-18T09:11:00.000-07:00

We work so hard to have influence in our world, to make the world a better place, and to work hard to improve ourselves every day. I decided to look up the word influence and really understand the "definition" behind this word we work so hard to be.

Here is the definition: a. an ethereal fluid held to flow from the stars and to affect the actions of humans. b. an emanation of occult power held to derive from stars.

Isn't that interesting? Influence is something completely out of our control....or is it? I believe that if you look at life in a positive way and ask yourself, "Who can I help?" instead of "Who can help me?", you become a person of principle, which makes you a person of influence.

Reach out today and help someone. Be a person others want to be around. When you do that you will become a person of influence.

5 "Must Do"s" to Accomplish Anything!!!

Posted on Tuesday 8th, June 2010

By Donna Stewart is a CEO Mom :)

People often ask, "How can stay motivated?".

The answer is simple. It's all in your "Why".

Whatever it is your looking to accomplish, your REASON for doing it is the ultimate motivator.

The problem that occurs with those who do not accomplish their goal(s), in so many cases, is that they "forgot" or stop FOCUSSING on their reason or perhaps their reason wasn't strong enough.

So how do you stay on task? How can you make it strong enough?

My advice: Develop a strong "Why". Peel back the onion to get to the core of your reason.

Here are 5 "Must Do"s" to creating a strong "Why", to help you stay on task with and to accomplish your goals. MAKE SURE YOU WRITE YOUR ANSWERS OUT. IT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE!

1.Start with this. Ask yourself:

Why do you want to accomplish XYZ??

2.Next, expand on your why:

When I accomplish this, it will mean this .....(fill in)............. to me.

3.3rd, expand further:

When I accomplish this, it will mean this .....(fill in)............ to those I love.

4.4th, expand again:

When I accomplish this I will feel ......(include at least 5 emotions)................ .

5.5th.....SHARE it in the written form with someone.

I love to read things that are positive!

2010-06-09T11:09:00.000-07:00

Have you thought about reading? I go through my period where I can't put a book down, and other times I don't want to pick a book up. There could be a million different reasons for either of these, but when I am reading I am more positive. Pick up a great read instead of turning on the TV. Focus on your goals in life. I have really been thinking about where I want my life to be lately. I have a really good life, but I am always striving to improve my life and take it from good, to great.

We can accomplish almost anything within out ability if we think we can! ~George Matthew Adams

Happy reading!

Be a person of influence!

2010-06-03T11:38:00.000-07:00

It is time to have Influence!

Influence can sometimes be a hard thing to have. If you are wondering why you aren't a person of influence I want you to think about you as a person. Do you have a title attached to your name? Do you feel like you need a title attached to your name? Because I will tell you, a title can have nothing to do with being a person of influence. I know for a fact there are many people in our world that have influence but NO title. It starts from within. I work everyday on myself. Do a "CHECK UP FROM THE NECK UP" and work to be a better person. When others are attracted to your character, you then become a person of influence. When I started with myself, I become a person of influence.

In whatever you do, do it the best you can, and others will follow you.

Calling ALL Parents!!!

2010-05-07T22:21:00.000-07:00

Do you ever feel like your children are a inconvenience?

This is something that has always bothered me. Tonight I took my daughter and her best friend to dinner and I observed many parents pushing their children off to the field out by the restaurant, where many of the children were playing. I kept a close eye on my daughter and her friend. I love them both and I was responsible for them. So at that point, they were the most important thing to me. But as I looked around that wasn't the case with most of the parents on that patio. They wanted to talk their spouse, friend, or family member...they were not at all concerned that it was getting dark. Just remember... YOUR CHILDREN ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. Pay attention to what they are doing. Let's work together for our children's future. If we are all putting our children first, and providing tough love with a lot of TLC, they will be better adults and their future will be so much brighter.

I hope I got you thinking..... :-)

When you woke up this morning did you have plan for your day? Did you know exactly what your day would look like? If you are looking to make a change in your life, but you are scared that you will fail, you will. You have to plan to fail just like you have to plan to succeed. Get yourself a daily agenda and manage it. You will take steps to succeeding every day.

Humility Is A Good Thing

2010-05-04T09:35:00.000-07:00

Humility is a quality of being humble, modest, not proud, doing something out of the goodness of your heart, not for yourself. I see humility as selfless. Being humble brings true greatness to you and to others.
Work on yourself every day. Be humble. Don't let others get the best of you. Life will bring you great things and return to you what you put into it.
Work with me to make our universe less arrogant and more humble.

Is Your Glass Half Empty, or Half Full?

2010-05-03T08:32:00.000-07:00

My glass is definitely half FULL! How did it get there? Well...It starts with your attitude, which means it's time for a check-up from the neck-up! The positive person understands that the journey is as enjoyable as the destination. Your mindset will allow you to start each day with a positive perspective, if your glass if half full!

Are you looking for BALANCE in your life?

2010-04-29T10:41:00.000-07:00

When I first started looking to work from home I thought it would be an easy transition. Boy was I wrong! I had to learn to balance my life. The only problem with that is....how do I do that? Here is the thing....when you add something to your life that has never been there, you have to make room for it. SACRIFICE something! Turn off the TV and make room for something that will change your life. Be ready for that period of imbalance while you are going through a change. This will help you achieve balance in the long term. What can you sacrifice today?

Hope this helps!

Congratulations to my friend Gina Neef....

12 Success Factors to look for when choosing a Home Business

2010-02-23T20:19:00.000-08:00

With over 9 years of having my own successful home business, I have built a real residual monthly income that has allowed us to be completely debt free with savings and security for my family, children and our future. I have been able to do so right from the comfort of my home and have helped and continue to help so many other families to do the same.

Here are some key success factors that my mentor, Donna Stewart, shared with me and I think they are so important.

If the company you are currently representing or the company you're considering meets all of these Success Factors, I'd love to know what company it is. The only one I've found so far is the one I represent..:)

1. Company track record - How long has the company you're considering representing been in business? What are the company's annual sales each year since in business? Does the company print average income statistics for business builders? It should and you should ask for them. Proof of long term sales, success and growth is critical with choosing any business.

2. Financially sound - Does the company have outstanding debt? Joining a company that is debt free is something I highly recommend to lessen any risk to you.

3. Strong management team - What are the backgrounds and credentials of the management team? You want to join a company that is run with integrity and strong leadership.

4. Unique consumable products - Are the products of the company, products that people actually need, use, run out of and repurchase month after month. Do the products have any trademarks or patents allowing for exclusive rights meaning no other company can copy them. If the products are not consumable, meaning something that a person would only buy once, then that is a business that will not be viable long term. If the products are consumable, however not necessarily a need, that will lesson your chance for long term success. Products needed, and consumed monthly makes for a solid business model.

5. Wide market appeal - Are the products something everyone needs and uses? If the products are specific for a certain gender, age group or body size for example, you lessen your market as it is not something for everyone.

6. Competitive prices - Are the products comparable in price or less expensive than the competition? If they are too expensive this is not a business that will produce great results.

7. High customer reorder rate - Does the company share it's reorder rate? Meaning how many customers that purchased from the company last month, reorder again the following month? If the re-order rate is low, the business will not be viable as new customers simply replace your old customers producing no real growth or a secure, residual income.

8. Low initial investment - If the cost to join or start is too high it makes for more risk and difficulty in attracting customers and business partners.

9. Low monthly requirement - If there is a high monthly requirement, customers/business builders may end up with an inventory or products they do not need. If there is a low monthly product requirement, then customers are getting what they need for personal use each month, and from a business standpoint you know customers are purchasing each month which creates the security and true residual income.

10. Rewards for leadership development - Does the company reward you for helping others in your business succeed? If there is any way the company could remove business builders from your business because of their success, be very careful about joining. There should never be potential for you to lose great partners.

11. Risk-free - Is everything 100% guaranteed? If not, I would advise against joining?

12. Anyone can be successful - Is the business plan set up for anyone to be successful at any time? If it's a company that says "Ground floor" opportunity, or "Get in Now", be very wary. If only the people who join at the beginning can be successful, then eventually people will get hurt.

Well, how does the company you are with or considering measure up?

I hope you enjoyed these....
