True greatness is never realized by playing small. Take a look at your life. Are you happy with where you are? If not, my guess is that you are playing small in certain areas of your life.
There are many factors that can cause us to play small. It is easy to play small. It is comfortable. Whenever we start to stretch ourselves to play big on the stage of life feelings of fear, guilt and doubt can come up. These are strong emotions and they tend to paralyze us. You may have heard before that thought + emotions +actions = results. A lot of times if we are experiencing such strong emotions such as fear, doubt, or feeling not good enough it is not easy to move into action to get the results we are looking for.
For example, if I want to increase the amount of money I’m making with my business, I have to take action. What if as a mother, I feel guilty for leaving my children to go to meetings? What if I doubt my ability to get clients? What if I am scared to network because I have a fear that people won’t like me? These are pretty strong emotions. These thoughts can stop me….if I choose to let them.
One of the best ways to move through these emotions is to take a look at what will happen in the end. What will be the end result if you leave your children with a qualified caregiver and go to a meeting that could result in a contract that increases your income? How will that extra money affect your children? Instead of feeling fear about networking, think about all of the great people you will meet and the relationships that can be formed. Many clients are obtained from referrals. These referrals come from the relationships that you have nurtured.
If you are ready to create your best life, decide to play big. Now, more than any other time in history, we have the ability to create anything we want in our lives. The only thing that really stops us is ourselves. So when you get those fears that stop you from going after what you want. Stop and see the end result. The world is waiting for what you have to offer.

Restoring Calm Confidence
One day I was speaking with a client who is a top producer in his region. I asked what he wanted to speak about, and I was surprised by his answer. "I'd like to talk about my issues with confidence when talking to people with 'big money.' People at all levels, from those who are down in the dumps, to successful people in positions of leadership, occasionally find their confidence shaken. What do you do if this happens to you?

2 Ways to Get Energized in the Morning
I know not everyone is a morning person. There are a few people who literally bounce out of bed at the sound of the alarm clock, but most of us fall on the sliding scale betwee “mild reluctance” and pillow-burrowing, “I don’t wanna!” dread. While I don’t promise you’ll jump out of bed like an over-caffeinated Tigger, I can promise that you’ll find yourself less and less dependent on your “Snooze” button.

The definition of insanity
Albert Einstein famously said "Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result." I love this, live by it and reiterate it to my clients over and over again. This principle has driven my ability to solve almost any problem when it comes to business growth. I learned very early in my career that problems don't get solved unless you do just that-solve them. You have to look at it frontward, backward and upside down until you figure out why you aren't getting what you want and what you need to do to change the outcome.

The Law of Attraction cannot work
The Law of Attraction Does Not and Cannot Workr By Jim Britt A lot of experts claim to know the missing “secret” for “attracting” your dreams with less effort. They say that quantum physics proves the Law of Attraction real. Well, if you do the math, yes it does prove that it’s real… but it simply does not work because trying to manifest or “attract” even something simple could take many trillions of years. I also learned that the same science that proves that the Law of Attraction does not work also points the way to a method anyone can use to achieve what they want in life.
