The Four Habits of Success...

Life is about choices. We cannot only choose how we view ourselves and our lives but we can even choose our habits. I believe we can position ourselves for success by choosing to develop new habits.

Habit 1 – Exercising Choice: Stephen Covey calls it getting a “paradigm” shift. Most of us could use a paradigm shift. Covey states that most of us “see things not as they are, but as we are conditioned to see them.” Once we understand that much of our life has been conditioned by our past, then we can make a “paradigm” shift in the way we see things. That paradigm shift comes through our choices. We can choose to get a new perspective. We can choose to see ourselves differently and move beyond our past, our victim mentality, excuses and blame. Successful people not only choose to view themselves differently but choose to see the difficulties of their lives as opportunities for growth instead of obstacles to be eliminated.

Create Your Own Stimulus Package...

With so many people losing their jobs, now might just be a good time to create your own PERSONAL STIMULUS package. What do I mean? Maybe it’s time to get re-acquainted with yourself and what you are really passionate about. Recent statistics show that 70% of people are ill matched with their jobs. Not only are people losing jobs but the ones who are working are not happy in their current position.

One of the things I enjoy helping women with is to determine what motivates them and to re-discover some of their passions and dreams. I love doing this because I tend to think that if we do what we love and are passionate about, the money will come.

Stress-Free Living...

In our fast paced world, most of could use a lot less hustle and a little less stress. So here are some tips to help you slow your life down a bit.

1. Keep it simple!

Our lives are just far too busy at times. We exert so much energy and time trying to please, impress that it can get downright crazy at times. Even having someone over for dinner can become a major production. Whatever happened to “just come over and we will grill some hotdogs”? Peanut butter always works for me!

2. Lighten up!

Getting A New Perspective...

What Is Your Passion?...

One of the common things that you hear on a job site on any given Friday is “thank God it’s Friday.” If most people dread Mondays and can’t wait for Fridays to arrive, then clearly something is wrong somewhere. Recent statistics show that 70% of people are ill matched with their jobs. Have we lost touch with who we really are, what we are wired to do and what we are motivated to do and passionate about?
