It 's Not About Knowing the Information - It's About Personally Applying the Information!

I have been on the 'speaking circuit' a fair bit over the past few weeks and have met hundreds of really special people. I am grateful for the invitations to share my information as I know that it really does make a difference in the lives of these people.
However, sometimes I hear comments such as:
1. I know 'this stuff'.
2. This is all common sense.
3. That's nothing new.
4. So what? Who Cares?
(Those comments, along with all the positive feedback that I get - of course!)
Those are the statements that really speak to my heart. Intellectually, yes, we all know 'this stuff'. My question to you, then, is: "Why aren't you applying this information so as to make a difference in your life?"
How many great books have you bought with the intention of learning, and applying, the information?
How many books have you bought, with great intentions, and those books are sitting on a shelf somewhere in your home (or office)?
Research shows that many of the very popular Home Study Systems, currently on the market, are still sitting on shelves, in people's homes - and the plastic wrap is still on it! (Is this you?)
It all goes back to intention! And yes, it IS that easy.
When we have goals - when we plan certain aspects of our lives - we begin to live our life by intent. That's very exciting!
What I do recommend is having the resources to help us with this process.
When you have trouble with your car, you take it to a mechanic.
When you have dental problems, you go to a dentist.
When you need financial advice, you meet with a financial planner.
Why would you 'steer' your life any differently? Most often, we don't know what we don't know - and there are people and resources to help us.
On the trip around the world, one of the things that totally fascinated me was the way people in Africa helped each other. I overheard one of the men, in this particular scenario, say "Many hands make for light work!" Words of wisdom!
I work with an amazing business coach, Fabienne Fredrickson. I intend to take my business to new heights over the next few years - in which case, I want to work with the best of the best.
Set the intention of what you want your life to look like and feel like. Find the resources to help make it happen. It really IS that easy.
