If you didn't - what was stopping you?
Why would you not want to start (and end) each day with positive affirmations?
It takes less than a minute - Just Do It!
How many of you have created a visualization board and put in a place where you can be constantly reminded of what you are Grateful for on one side and what you want (Vision) on the other side. The Vision side answers the Big "Why?'. Why you are willing to do what it takes to get those things you want. Maybe a new car, a trip to see relatives you haven't seen, etc. My Grateful side has a picture of Tony, Me and our 4 kids, a picture of my parents, a Cross and various other things that I'm grateful for. My Vision side has my picture driving a new Buick Enclave, court side season tickets to the Suns, a $10,000 check to The House of Refuge East in Mesa, a cruise with my family in 2009.
Have your kids do one too. If they are grateful for the things on the left and really want the things on the right, maybe they'll work harder to clean their room more often. Try creating one as a family too. Let your kids see what you're working hard for as a family.
Start each day with a Daily To Do list with each item prioritized (A+, A, A-, B+, etc.). This will ensure you get the most important things done each day. Don't quit using it, or at least something like it. If you only finish 1 - A+ To-Do, you have accomplished so much more than finishing 10 small B- things that don't bring in revenue or get you closer to one of those things on the Vision side of your board. The first couple items on your ToDo List should be permanent and should include 1. Affirmations 2. Focus on Your Vision Board 3. Commit to a Positive Attitude for the Day 4. Journal 5. Review your calendar
6. Review your tasks Fill In Your To Dos for the Day and Prioritize them. Then shut down your email and get to work.
I listened in on a coaching call yesterday that focused on Mind Set and I want to share my key notes.
Success is based on 2 things:
- Hard Work and
- Determination to be excellent
We are all in sales, whether we are selling products or services and 90% of selling is mental.
Success is determined by your Attitude and your Attitude is determined by your Thoughts.
Your thoughts are the One Thing you can control and change.
Acknowledge what you are thinking. You can't change what you don't acknowledge.
You can't control the first negative thought but you can change every thought after that.
Be "On Purpose" about who you associate with, what you listen to, what you read, & what you watch. Make an effort to eliminate the negative.
These are the type people you want to Be Around:
People you can teach
People you can learn from
People you enjoy
People you can profit with
Remember - there are no short cuts to any place worth going! How bad do you want it and what price will you pay to get it?
Have a great day and a great week!
