What does it take to have a radical shift in your mindset, one that will propel you to the next level? I have three key factors that I have found always come into play.
One: Mindsetr
Two: Attituder
Three: The Knowing
Your mindset is a key factor to your success. If you believe, you shall achieve - and that is so true. Our thoughts do create our reality so t5he daily conscious training of your mind is essential.
Your attitude is what keeps you in the proper mindset. As the day goes by and life throws you curve balls - you still step up to the plate, knowing that if that is what life is throwing - then that is precisely what you need to practice! Keeping your attitude positive, uplifted and filled with gratitude helps you maintain the right mindset to keep you going through the day.
Finally, hang on to what I call "the knowing". You must think, feel and KNOW that no matter how small the task at hand is, no matter how insignificant what you are working on in this moment seems - you ARE working towards your goal and THIS ACTION is taking you closer.
As many days pass and the goal seems far away - just take a moment to look behind you and see how far you have come already. Remember always that the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.
Give yourself credit where credit is due - and take the first step NOW.

Oh, What a Year It Was!
Oh, What a Year It Was! I recently shared with our Best Life Design Community, an exercise by Dan Pearce of Single Dad Laughing (http://bit.ly/fGL6t0) shaking up the New Year’s resolutions process. Instead of listing everything he wanted to happen in the New Year, Dan created a future memory at the beginning of the year about how the year progressed. We encouraged our Community to write their own 2011 in review, so it’s only right that I get the ball rolling and share mine. Here it goes…

Excerpt From Street Hockey Millionaire
“You know what they say,” Pete said. “You’ve got to play the full 60 minutes if you want to win.” Steve began, “Let’s get started. Did everyone write some game plans for their highest priority goals?” Pete replied, “ We haven’t had time yet, Steve, but we’re going to do it this week.” Steve ...

So here he was, stuck in the office instead of watching his son play hockey. Meanwhile, Steve was out playing street hockey for three hours a day with his kids. What weighed more on Pete’s brain was that street hockey used to be the love of his life now, it was just a nuisance. Although he’d ...

Numbing Away Our Humanity?
I came across a video this week that features a new technology that captures people’s attention in a novel way. It’s worth watching simply to take a look and ask how you might use it in your business. But its value far surpasses this. In this video, Sir Ken Robinson, makes a powerful call for a paradigm shift in education. This struck me at a deep level, given my raising of 3 kids (including one we home schooled for a couple of years to provide him more of what he needed at the time) and my work on behalf of lower opportunity kids in the non-profit sector.
