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)

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)
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.
Take action. Execute your strategy. Take your 1st step. Sometimes the most difficult part of success is taking that first step.
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!

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

The Ins and Outs of Networking

I thought I'd talk about networking for those who are just starting out in their networking journey. And maybe, just maybe, someone who's a pro, will learn something or get a new idea. When you start out on your journey of networking, you're not sure what you're going to find. If you're like me, you're a little intimidated by everyone. They all seem so put together, so confident. It feels like everyone knows everyone else and you don't know anyone! You might sit there thinking "What the heck am I doing here?" But guess what? What you're feeling is 100% normal. And guess what else? We all felt the same way when we started networking. Because I'm one of those people who remembers feeling that way, I make it a point to go out of my way to talk to newbies, show them around, introduce them to others, give them networking advice. It's funny because the very first networking group I ever attended is the one that I'm currently the
