Change your thoughts, Change your life!

Home Stager with Design2Sell

Last Tuesday, I attended a networking event of the Vinings Business Association. The invited Specker was totally amazing. Michael Reid is a reired NFL player and a Shaolin Martial Arts Master. He shared with us his 5 keys to Achievement.

Optimism
Self Development
Purpose

Mindset
Action

Here is how I translated it for my business and Day to Day rules of life:

Optimism: Going to bed every night with a positive thought and walking up in the morning with a positive motto I carry through the day. Making someone smile...

Self Development: Learning one new thing every day - can be a new word - or doing something different outside of the daily routine.

Purpose: All goals need a purpose, something strong enough to make us move. What made me move jumping into Entrepreneurship was my little boy. I wanted to find a carrier I am passionate about, which did no involve lots of travel and allowed for more flexibility. "He" is still a strong driver behind a lot of goals I have.

Mindset: Having a vision with a future, a strong desire and trust in yourself. I end my day with a summary of of little accomplishments and positive moments - private and business.

Action: A written game-plan ready to be executed with persistence and consistency.

Hope you find some of this information applicable in our daily life and in our job. And as Michael said "Accomplish More, Do More, Be More!"

Attitude  you are 100 percent right. if you see the galss as half empty all the time you never will be happy and others will pick up on that vibe. Good post. Sounds like a worth while seminar

Does it have to be in writing Barbara? :) I was with you until then. Seriously I understand the need for it....it's just the part I really dislike.

Thank you to all of your comments, I am a true believer.

And Shar, I do think that writing down is key, even if we dislike it.
