ARTArticleGet Your Head in the GameHow did you start your day today? When you leaped out of bed, were you ready and alert for all today will offer or did you drag yourself out of bed on automatic pilot, and lurch into the bathroom in the normal early morning daze.ARTArticleGetting ready to get readyStuck is not a fun place to be.
Yet for so many, stuck seems to be a state that is stubbornly present, even defeating in the lives of so many.
You know, the web site tweak that just has to be done before you promote, the sales script that needs to have every word perfect before you make the call, the distraction of finding something new to create instead of focusing on the thing that’s in front of you.ARTArticleGive More Than You Gave YesterdayThis article came about because of a lady who was considering enrolling in a coaching program that I offer for a coaching, consulting, training business.
And listen, here's what she was saying… The times we're in, you're hearing it everywhere. "Well, my husband got laid off unexpectedly four months ago, and I've been handling everything all by myself right now."
Okay, check. So far, those are the facts.ARTArticleGiving Up Judgments #1 of 3Part 1:
First of all, in order to give something up, we would have to know what that something actually is. Not what we believe it is, or think it is, but what it actually is. This is a difficult disce
ment to make with regard to judgments because there is a line regarding our perceptions of what is a judgment, and what is not a judgment, that when crossed, triggers our automatic mind system to reward us with the feeling of "being right" and the key point is, whether we are correct with our assessment, or not.ARTArticleGiving Up Judgments #2 Of 3TB Wright Part II
In the first of these three articles, some ways of giving up judging were provided so that we can free that negative energy up from what doesn’t work, to what does work in our lives. Why do this? Because it's energy that we already have, and are already using, but not necessarily devoted toward that which has us be successful, and successful in any area of our lives you can imagine. What does work? What we say works. It's our voice, our choice. More ways for giving up judgments will be provided here, because it seems as if our judging process is endless. It is!ARTArticleGiving Up Judgments #3 Of 3TB Wright Part III
Now that you have read the first two articles conce
ing judgments, you are sufficiently prepared to go on and practice these techniques for giving up judgments, both visible, and invisible:
First of all, even before completing this list of things to do, it is important to start with one beginning task. This task is to decide in advance, just what you are going to use all your newly released energy for. Giving up judgments releases a lot of energy. Either you decide what it's going to be used for, or something else will.ARTArticleGoal SettingIn her new book, Own Your Life, 7 Essential Steps to Independence, author, speaker and lawyer Suzanne B. Quinn guides the reader through the seven essential steps to personal and financial security and independence. This article is an excerpt from her book, comprising one of the seven steps.
Goals are your roadmap to success. The difference between a dream and a goal is the written word. Writing down your goals helps to focus your mind, both consciously and subconsciously, on what you need to do to achieve that which you want.ARTArticleGoing From The “What To Do” To “How To Do It” Level Of Self GrowthGoing From The “What To Do” To “How To Do It” Level Of Self Growth

“Patience is waiting. Not passively waiting. That is laziness. But to keep going when the going is hard and slow - that is patience.” ~anonymous.
The common purpose of life for us all seems to be to learn, grow and improve into our best selves. Why is this? It is because this road gets us all the things we want—wealth, health, influence, meaning, happiness, success, contentment, peace of heart and sense of accomplishment in making a difference.ARTArticleGot Milk? Feed Your Inner MouseGot Milk? Feed Your Inner Mouse
I often fancifully imagine a snake, mouse, and monkey inside myself. My last message focused on meeting our core for safety and was titled "I love Lucy." This Message focuses on our core need for satisfaction - broadly defined - with the hopefully not too goofy title "Got Milk? Feed Your Inner Mouse."
Feed the mouse.
As the nervous system evolved, your brain developed in three stages:
* Reptile - Brainstem, focused on avoiding harmrn(I love Lucy - pet your inner snake)
* Mammal - Limbic system, focused on approaching rewardsrARTArticleGratitudeI strongly believe we are here on this earth to live life to its fullest; to feel, love, share, and to grow. Even a bad day is a temporary thing; it makes us appreciate a good day. To live, show love, and be grateful for all things keeps you grounded. To be aware, not only of yourself, but of others, their needs, their dreams and goals and help them obtain them. You will feel gratitude for helping someone to succeed and they will feel gratitude for your help.rARTArticleGrayBeard, Dinosaurs, And Good GroomingIt was just one of those little things that happen at a good meal. Comments—you know, we all share them. It really didn't mean anything, other than the fact that it did give me a moment to think.
I was having lunch with a very, very close female friend and we've kind of, as they say, grown old together. We've been the best of friends for 25-27 years. We're in this restaurant, and she looks around and there was a bunch of people that look to be about our age, and we're both youthful looking.ARTArticleGreat Tech Tool(s) for Juggling All Your Projects With Ease: An Entrepreneur’s Survival GuideRunning a small business is by no means an easy feat. I always say that people with white collar desk jobs in large corporations get it easy. Everything has been laid out for you; there are company manuals, standard operating procedures, a communication hierarchy and you can always ‘go to’ somebody to help you with work or resolve an issue.ARTArticleGreener PasturesWe have all been tempted by the lure of greener pastures. “Greener pastures,” is when something looks better, easier, or much grander than your current situation. This could apply to your personal as well as your professional life.
Sometimes the lure of greener pastures is overwhelming. It could be a better business offer, a different mate, or a chance at easy money or a better life.
If you want to change anything about yourself, you have to take risks and you have to work hard and do your homework about what you want to accomplish.rARTArticleHappy National Women's Friendship DayNational Women's Friendship Month first began as National Women's Friendship Day in 1999 (celebrated the third Sunday in September each year).
Following the 10th anniversary of National Women's Friendship Day in 2008, it became apparent that one day just wasn't enough, so the celebration was expanded to the entire month of September beginning in 2009.
"All women find strength, comfort and inspiration from their girlfriends," said Melanie Schild, Executive Director of Kappa Delta and the brains behind the creation of the celebration.ARTArticleHas a Self Help “Guru” Ripped You Off?We have recently witnessed the furore over the deaths of three people in a “sweat lodge” in Arizona during a “Spiritual Warrior” retreat run by self-help guru James Ray who has now been charged with three counts of manslaughter as a result. Allegations from participants in the retreat include that people who were complaining of feeling faint or dizzy or who were clearly feeling the effects of dehydration were forced to stay in the sweat lodge, whilst others claim that a thirty six hour enforced fast also played its part in the tragedy.ARTArticleHave You Ever Done A Perfect Pushup?Have you ever done a perfect pushup? I mean a perfect pushup. You see, for millennia of humanity, there was the pushup. I think you know exactly what I'm speaking of—that's when you get down on your toes and hands—that's the regular style—and some people do it with their knees and hands, facing the floor.
And you get close to the floor, then you move up to the extended arms. Strength training, obviously—upper body, arms.
And then along comes the invention called The Perfect Pushup. If you've ever done Bowflex, it's that kind of wrist action.ARTArticleHe Was Hunting His VisionWhat remarkable power did the man, Walt Disney, have, possess, use, move and flow with, that gave him such vision, such striving to achieve excellence at all costs? He was a man who never let reality get in the way.
I believe you can find that power in the term HoloMagic.
If you're a regular reader, you know that I just came back from Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. And you know how impressed I was, with everything running perfectly, functioning in perfect order. It's a world that is perfect.ARTArticleHealing Subconscious Holograms in The Energy BodySounds interesting, complicated, spooky, ridiculous, and maybe just plain out there right? Well, yeah but not after you work on a couple of them. I personally have been working for the last 15 years of personal development technique which have included extensive work on the inner child, archetypes, past traumatic events with varies different techniques. And I come from experience when I say that the manner of which we are now approaching these inner picture is fascinating, more powerful then ever, and also luckily quite simple.ARTArticleHELP-I’m so overscheduled there is no “US” time!Have you ever found yourself thinking about your crazy schedule and experiencing a time crunch that impacts the quality time spent on your relationship? Balancing work and family with couple time, is a major conce
that most couples express.
You may see yourself in part in the following scenario:
The over-scheduled dilemmaARTArticleHis Money Didn't Help Him At AllI caught the papers traveling in the UK recently, and oh, God rest his soul, a banker/businessman, Hywel Jones, from North Wales was shot in the Bahamas. He was working in the Bahamas—that's where his office is—and was shot two times at close range when he came to work at 9:30 a.m. The article called it an “ambush”, and also referred to the method as “execution-style”.
Someone stepped out of the shadows while he was getting out of his car, and pow-pow!ARTArticleHonesty And The Way Of WealthThere is a direct connection between wealth, defined in The One Penny Millionaire!™ as "an increase in anything that is important to you" and "honesty." This connection, when practiced, will serve to increase your wealth. But honesty about what? How about everything!
Being honest about where you are, emotionally, physically, and financially, will build a solid platform which you can then launch your new ventures off from, regardless of what those ventures may be: a new relationship, new investments, new family life, new career, new cash flow, it does not matter.ARTArticleHonor and RespectHonor and respect are two important things that you learn in life; they both go hand-in-hand. You learn from others by their words and actions. This teaches you; who is going to keep their word and who just tells you things that you may want to hear. It will define who is going to show up when they tell you they’re going to or who will pay you back the money you leant them. It shows you who will honor their word and who respects you.rARTArticleHopeWhen all else fails, hope is something that we cling to. It is a beacon that calls us at our highest and lowest moments in life. We share in the hope of others as well. At the final moment of despair, after you shed your last teardrop, you muster up hope.
Within you, you find the courage and the strength to get back up. Something is different when you arise; it is a new hope that has sprung alive. You muster up the courage to pull your thoughts together and look at things with a new perspective, one that will create a new avenue for you to go down.rARTArticleHope and EncouragementHope and encouragement are two things which help hold us together during good times and bad. For example, you might be hoping to make the diving team. Once you have made it on the diving team, you might say a few words of encouragement to yourself as you prepare to do a Gainer off the diving board.rARTArticleHow Do You Make Your Big Ideas Really Happen?Here’s an interesting questio
I received on Linkedin from Richard Sink who asked:
“What lessons can you share with us about strategies when trying to turn your ideas (be it for social good or professional gain) into a reality?”
Hi Richard,
Great question. I work with start up’s on launching new ideas as well as established companies on re-inventing themselves in the marketplace.
I’d like to offer you a great format I use with my clients through this process. It’s the 8 stages of a start up which should be followed in this order:
Stage 1: Identify the Who, What and Why?ARTArticleHow Many Millions Do You Want To Make?There are some people you can't lie to, because they've got the goods on you. For instance, how do you lie to your banker about how much money you're really making, how much business you're doing, how well you're managing the financial affairs in your business?
There's an interesting story I want to tell you about. Years and years ago, I decided, "I'm going to be a successful information marketer. I'm going to make millions of dollars." It came to pass.
But you ought to know, everybody was amazed at first.ARTArticleHow Risk Unleashes Creative Expression: Successful Actors Give Life LessonsWhat is risk and why is it something to be feared, to be avoided?ARTArticleHow To Achieve More Than You Ever Thought Possible By Creating SMART Goals!Let’s talk about goals! Better yet, let’s DO SOMETHING about your goals, because that is the single biggest difference between actually setting a goal and simply saying some words in hopes that someday you’ll have what you want.
In order for a goal to take hold and become real, you must commit to it somehow. Typically that is writing down your goal on a piece of paper. But since the age of the internet and websites which provide goal setting software, the process has become even easier.ARTArticleHow to Attract MORE Clients Using LinkedInDid you miss this?
If you are a business owner, sales professional or rainmaker in your firm, I hope by now you have a LinkedIn account and a basic profile set up. However, if that’s about all you have, then chances are that you’re not really attracting a steady flow of new clients on LinkedIn.
In fact, if you’re not generating at least 6 figures in new business from LinkedIn, you need to learn the inside strategies on how to play the LinkedIn game. See, once you learn these strategies, tips and techniques, the game of LinkedIn becomes a lot of FUN!ARTArticleHow to be a Life Coach at 25I recently received an email from a jou
alist in the US asking me what I knew about people gaining an online certification for life coaching. And a few weeks back, one of my clients mentioned to me that he'd been approached by a life coach who had "qualified" following a weekend course and some follow-up telephone tutorials. At least, I suppose, that was better than being certified online! But the one that really sticks out in my mind is the time a client told me that he'd received a pitch from a life coach who was twenty five years old.
