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!

It's really ok to take a break

Sometimes when you're not motivated it's because your literraly burnt out. And that's ok. When you've been doing too much for too long, it's ok to take a break. However, before you start that break, write down some of the things you're going to do after the break.. This helps to keep the things you want to do at the top of your mind without feeling guilty that you're taking a break. So what do I mean by taking a break? It can be ... in any form you desire and/or can afford. We'd all love our break to be a long vacation to someplace we really want to go, but it can be as simple as taking a walk or even spending an entire weekend binge-watching your favorite shows. Just make sure it's a plan and that you know when you've had you're break, you're going to start on that "thing" you've been putting off. MW Copyright 2017

Re-evaluating Social Media in my life

What is the purpose of social media in your life? This is the question I've been pondering for a while now. What do each of these outlets bring to me, give to me, or help me with? Facebook Twitter Instagram Snap Chat Pinterest LinkedIn Alignable So many people say they're using social media for their business, while others say you have to be using social media for your business. I believe that's true in some businesses - especially if you're selling a product like t shirts, jewelry, weight loss plans, or other tangible items. But, I'm not sure which really help in the service and intangible industries. With that said, I'm an insurance agent. I sell a piece of paper that gives you piece of mind and aggravation because you are obligated to buy it. Is anyone really interested in reading blogs or articles about insurance? Even insurance humor is mainly funny to insurance people. So where does that leave me with my posts? I have used it in a mostly pers...
