Are You Focusing On What You Really Want?
Imagine you’re happily driving down a country road on a clear, sunny day. Suddenly a semi truck crosses the center line and is heading right at you. Heart pounding and adrenaline rushing, you react. Will you avert disaster? Maybe. Maybe not. In this moment, your life depends on where you focus.
Professional driving instructors tell us that what people usually do in emergency situations is to stay focused on the object they are trying to avoid. In driving, where your eyes a…
Are You Focusing On Your Primary Goal?
There are many areas that you can choose as your primary goal but perhaps one of the best methods for choosing one is to ask yourself a simple question. “If I were to focus on just one area of my life, for one year, which one would have the best impact?
Generally, it is easy to find one area that could stand some improvement. It may be something simple or it could be something that you need to work on a great deal.
Below is a guide of some areas that you may want to loo…
Cultivating A Millionaire Mindset
Success rarely happens by accident. Admittedly, there are some who have literally stumbled upon success but the vast majority who reach those heights fought long and hard to get there. In fact, the majority probably failed at more things than complete failures have. Yet, despite all those many setbacks, they managed to win out in the end. It’s all in the mindset.
Let’s take a look at what most of these successful individuals have in common. Let’s look at the path they trav…
Did You Know You’re Bleeding Money Because Of The Darn Phone??
You’re in the midst of work then …
Aw… man.
Or you’re finishing a 97% complete report then ….
Okay. Familiar? I can imagine your blood pressure rising when that happens. What is an interruption? An interruption is anything that seizes your attention from an activity you have chosen to do to for an activity that someone else has purposely or inadvertently chosen for you. Interruptions are normally random and without any consideration for the importance of, or im…
Don’t Zone Out! Find Focus With A Theme
What happened to the time? When we are busy in our day-to-day lives, it sometimes seems that whole seasons pass in a blink. And the goals we have…well, they can easily slip by in that blur too. You want to WAKE UP: to get control of your time and meet your goals. But how?
In coaching we sometimes talk about our lives being in process. That is, our lives are constantly flowing forward over and around the highs and lows of our everyday experience, like a river. As humans we …
Gratitude Improves Your Attitude
In the 1980s, I started a daily practice that I still maintain today. I was attending an intense personal growth workshop at Deerwood, Minnesota. One night, as I lay on the top bunk in a rustic dorm room filled with a dozen women, someone mentioned her practice of gratitude.
Aware of my natural tendency to focus on the half-empty cup, I decided to try it that night. I did it again the next night and the next. Now, more than 20 years later, I still continue with a gratitude…
How Others Who Actively Practice The Law Of Attraction Can Reinforce One Another?
One of the major precepts of The Law of Attraction is that everything is fundamentally connected. This means that the transfer of information is in some way possible, regardless of the constraints of space or time. While fascinating in its own right, you may wonder what this means to you in a practical sense. It means that you have help out there if you make a concerted effort to focus your thoughts on the same worthy goal and it doesn’t even matter where you are.

How To Reap The Benefits Of An Attitude Of Gratitude
By being grateful for what we already have, we attract more good things into our life. That’s how the Law of Attraction works – and it does work, every time!
If, however, we are constantly dwelling on the things that we don’t have and begrudging others their good fortune, it’s a virtual certainty that we’ll continue in a state of lack.
The adoption of an Attitude of Gratitude brings into focus a whole host of blessings that we might well have been overlooking – or that …
Overcome The #1 Goal Setting Barrier
I’m sure you, like me, are bombarded with emails, conversations and thoughts about goal setting, particularly each new year. If I had a nickel for each email I’ve received since Jan 1st that talked about goal setting, I’d be a rich woman! Yet, have I set my goals down on paper yet? No, I haven’t. Until this week, I have been diligently trying to avoid the whole topic, no doubt because I have had limited success with achieving any goals I’d actually written down in years past….
Setting Successful New Year’s Resolutions
It’s almost that time of year again – New Year Resolutions! Millions of people around the world are vowing to lose weight, quit smoking, stick to a budget, and more. How many will actually follow through with these changes? Probably not many. Have you done this before? Have you made promises to yourself and not kept them? You are not alone. Why does it seem so easy to make changes in our lives, until we actually begin to do the work?
Change is hard. Most of us don’t stop t…
