success quotes: Thanks: Daily Inspiration: Nov 21, 2012 - 11/20/12 09:15 PM
Good Wednesday to you! Today’s word is Thanks.

Many of you know of the accident that I suffered back in 2009.  If you don't, go HERE.  
I had an original plan that by the end of the summer I would be able to walk without a cane.  I had some minor setbacks and did not meet that goal, however, I would not be held down.  I set a new goal.  
By the end of December I would be able to go 80% without the cane.  I am proud to say that I have met that goal early.  As … (1 comments)

success quotes: Tuesday Motivation: 5/5/2020Ignorance - 11/06/12 05:41 AM
Good Tuesday to you!Today’s word is Ignorance.
Contrary to what has been said, ignorance is not bliss.  It is a sad excuse that people use for not being knowledgable about a subject.
Some people would rather be ignorant than to learn something new because they are comfortable where they are. 
How can you grow as a person by being ignorant?

success quotes: Decision: Daily Inspiration: Nov 5,, 2012 - 11/04/12 08:44 PM
Good Monday to you! Today’s word is Decision.
Decisions shape who we are and where we go - not only in business, but in life as well.
It has been said that do decision is still a decision.  You have just made an active choice NOT to decide.  That, in itself, is a decision.
I've always believed that those who succeed are quick to make decisions and slow to change their mind, while, those often less successful are slow to make decisions and quick to change their mind.
What about you?

 Good Thursday to you!
Today’s word is Attitude.

Wikipedia says that attitude is an expression of favor toward a person, place, thing, or event.
My Mother told me best, as yours probably did too - "Treat others  as you would want them to treat you."
That is definitely sage advise and one of the things that she said that I didn't actually argue with her about.
Sometimes parents DO know better.
Just saying...

success quotes: Adaptabilty: Daily Inspiration: Oct 24, 2012 - 10/23/12 10:01 PM
Good Wednesday to you! Today’s word is Adapability.

This is so important to you as a person, that without this ability you will most likely languish and become stagnant.
Being adaptable allows you to change and grow to suit a specific situation.  It allows you to become a part of what's happening around you if you so choose to be.
It is also the mark of a great leader because there are always challenges and obstacles in your way.  Some of them are there because they are put there to stop you from succeeding (we all know people like that!) … (2 comments)

success quotes: Proactive: Daily Inspiration: Oct 23, 2012 - 10/23/12 05:53 AM
Good Tuesday to you! Today’s word is Proactive.

I believe that being proactive in all aspects of your life is important.  I've read many different definitions and the one that I like the best is "Acting in advance to deal with an expected difficulty."
Being proactive is, I feel, "taking the bull by the horns" so to speak.  Don't just sit back and watch life pass you by, make things happen.
This is true in regards to your personl life to your business life.  If you sit on the sidelines and wait for something to happen, you'll miss almost everything … (7 comments)

success quotes: Willpower: Daily Inspiration: Oct 22, 2012 - 10/22/12 01:46 AM
 
Good Monday to you! Today’s word is Willpower.

Willpower is self-control.  It gives us the ability to be able to resist our impulses to do other things.  Sometimes those things may be good for us or not.  Many times it's about what we want to do and not what we need to do.  
That comfy, warm bed feels great and a little extra sleep never heart anyone until you realize that you have to get up and work!
Going to the mall can be an excercise of willpower for many of us.  We may not have the money … (5 comments)

success quotes: Happiness: Daily Inspiration: Oct 19, 2012 - 10/19/12 12:19 AM
Good Friday to you! Today’s word is Happiness.

I have found that many people feel that if they do a particular something it will, by design, make them happier. I don't find this to be true.  I speak from personal experience, so I can't say for sure that this will work for others Life really is short.  3 1/2 years ago, life for me was pretty good and then I got dragged by an SUV, ran through a fence and almost cut in 1/2.  Wow, is right!
You never know when things could go awry and change your life or … (4 comments)

success quotes: Motivation: Daily Inspiration: Oct 18, 2012 - 10/17/12 09:54 PM
Good Thursday to you! Today’s word is Motivation.

Motivation does not come just by the sheer want of it, motivation comes from the act of doing. Haven't you ever said to yourself "I've got to go to the gym" and then life gets in the way and the excuses come, but once you actually get there and start - you're happy that you did and now your motivated to continue (hopefully).
If there is something that you want to get done, start doing it and you will find yourself wanting to finish.

success quotes: Envy: Daily Inspiration: June 29, 2012 - 06/29/12 02:30 AM
Good Friday to you!
Today’s word is Envy.

Wikipedia defines envy "as a resentful emotion that occurs when a person lacks another's (perceived) superior quality, achievement or possession and wishes that the other lacked it."
I don't necessarily agree with that entire definition.  Envy, to me, is not always resentful.  Many times if I see someone with something (material) that I would like to have, I can be envious of that person for having it without being resentful that that person has it.  I also don't feel that the other person should lack that possession or achievement.
There's a good … (4 comments)

Good Wednesday to you!
Today’s word is Character.

I've heard that character is who you are when noone is looking.  
Benjamin Franklin created a plan of character building for himself, which he followed religiously.  This plan had thirteen qualities that still hold true today.

No matter how successful you are, unless you have good character, can you truly be successful?

 Good Monday to you!
I've been away for a little while dealing with family, but now I'm back.
Today’s word is Behavior.

What you do and how you you handle situations and people is all related to the behavior that you exude.  I tend to lead by example to those around me.
I wouldn't ask anyone to do anything that I wouldn't do myself unless I there wasn't anyway that I could do it, like write programming code.
Your behavior in a situation says a lot about you and what kind of person you are regarding that situation.  You've heard … (5 comments)

Good Wednesday to you!
Today’s word is Help!

You need to realize that you cannot do everything by yourself.  I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s true.
Everyone has his or her strengths and weaknesses.  There are many out there who will tell you to work on your weakness to build them up…
Why?
Isn’t it better to keep moving forward utilizing your strengths and what you’re good at?  Delegate those things that you are week in to others and watch your business excel.
You cannot do this until you learn to let go.

You must be able to concentrate and pay attention to what you are doing at the moment you are doing it.

For you to concentrate on what is going on around you and with what you are doing you must have awareness.  By not giving proper concentration is not focusing on attention to detail, which is what’s needed for you to succeed with all facets of your life.

Without it, you wouldn’t be able to speak to one another and express yourself.  Don’t you owe it to yourself to know as much as possible?  Especially regarding your business.

Vocabulary allows us to interpret what others are saying so that we can help them with what they want as well as express ourselves to get what we are trying to say to those around us.
