Special "Leap Day" edition, 4 principals of Success!

Monday, February 29th, 2016

Happy Leap Day! I decided since today is a special day, I'd post an extra blog for the week. The following quote was texted to me this morning by a close friend and I thought it would be great motivation for everyone. Are you ready to leap into the life you want?

Here are 4 principals of success that will help you get there. (By Jean Mathurin)

  1. Have a vision/ a goal. You have to know what you want to achieve in order to achieve it. Dream big, visualize it, write it down. (make a vision board) 
  2. Make a strategic strategy. The reason you don't want to make a plan is because plans fail. And sometimes you just have to keep changing your strategy until you find one that works. Remember Thomas Edison who said "I have not failed 1,000 times, I've found 1,000 ways that don't work." Don't give up, change your strategy.
  3. Take action. Execute your strategy. Take your 1st step. Sometimes the most difficult part of success is taking that first step. 
  4. Find a mentor. It's important that you talk to people who are where you want to be and ask them how they got there, what advice they can give you. 
Now put these 4 principals to work for you and see how much you can achieve. 


ready, set, FLY!

There are only 24 hours in a day!

I've learned that I can only do so much. My business is booming, my marriage is flourishing, my personal health and fitness goals are in tip-top shape, but there is so much more going on in life. Spending time with family, spending time with friends, working on projects inside and outside of the house. Life gets completely crazy at times and it feels like the list of things to do, places to be, people to see never ends. The result: some things get put on the back burner. Like blogging. It's something I do to keep track of what I'm doing, where I am on my goals, and hopefully to motivate a few people at the same time. Here's where I'm at; Business: I am still out there networking, I have made so many new friends and am building great relationships.  I am still working on single-tasking. I KNOW that it's the key to getting things done for me. However, I still have my days where I am so busy that I lapse back into my habit of multi-tasking. I do realiz...

How would self discipline benefit you?

Picture your life a year from now if you actually accomplished the things on your list. How would this benefit your life? Seriously, just stop, close your eyes and imagine a year from now. For the past year you have ______. (Fill in the blank with something from your list.) # selfdiscipline # livingyourbestlife # lovingyourlife # happiness # workhard # besuccessful

Building Self-Discipline; Step 1

So how do we build self-discipline? First we figure out where we need self-discipline in our life. What are the areas in your life that you are struggling with? These are usually things you want to do, but for some reason you don't do them. Here are some ideas. Exercising, cooking meals, laundry, networking, de-cluttering, organizing your desk at work, yoga, meditation... the list could go on and on. Think about your list for a minute. Now, write down 2 or 3 things that you know you want to do, but keep putting off. These are things that you know would make an impact in your life. Now, next to each item, write down why you're not doing them AND why you want to do them. # selfdiscipline # lifehack # gettingstuffdone # liveyourbestlife  #jimrohnquote MW Copyright 2017
