If You Are Going To Fly You Need To Know How To Get To The Airport


After my post of yesterday on FOCUS, I did sit down and write out my dreams ...five personal and five business goals that I would like to see happen in my future. I then took that list and broke each dream down into plans to implement that will bring me closer to the goal. What good is saying you are going to fly and not figuring out how to get to airport?

What can you do today to help you reach those ultimate goals? For each of us it will be different but my plans include small steps forward and I even remind myself to celebrate each tiny victory along the way. If you are working toward something you need to keep your nose to the grindstone but you also need to have a little fun along the way. If you are too driven you will burn out long before the finish line.

So are you still with me? If you did not take the time yesterday to write your dreams do it now. I mixed in short term goals and long term dreams on my list. Some of you might find having vision of the distant future difficult so start with more concrete shorter term goals. If you find it impossible to imagine yourself with more money than you could possibly use then focus on paying off just one credit card. Picking goals that you can achieve sooner will help you to have a vision for a grander future. You can do this! Now get to it.

If your "route to the airport" involves making extra income or increasing your self confidence give me a call. I have a plan that is helping me and it might be right for you too. Part of my dreams involves helping others to fulfill there dreams so you won't be distracting me at all.

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Are You Looking For Something To Be Thankful For?


Every Thursday I make a conscious effort to state a few things I am thankful for. It started from some posts on another blogging platform and I continue the tradition on Facebook and in my life in the real world too. It is easy to be rushing through the day to day tasks and get so bogged down in the routine and any difficulties we may be facing that we forget all the wonderful gifts we are presented with every day.

Every day that we are alive is a gift. Yes even the rough ones will teach us something useful and if you look hard you will find things to be thankful for even on the most tragic of days. Sometimes, I will admit, the gifts are only apparent in retrospect but they are always there if you take the time to look.

So today it is raining and I am thankful for the rain which is filling up reservoirs and raising the water tables so our wells won't go dry. I am thankful for the roof over my head. I am even thankful that I am forced to go out in the rain today or I actually might pull the covers over my head, I love to sleep with the rain hitting the roof. But I have work to do today and on with my mission I will go.

It is a last day of the month. I have a few more orders to take to put me over the top on my goal to go on target for my Mary Kay Career Car. I am so thankful to be so close to this goal. I am thankful that I found a great company that rewards my efforts and praises me to success. I have never been in a business environment like this before and I am thankful for the training I received during my years of volunteer as a parenting and breastfeeding councilor with La Leche League. Those skills are a good match for the philosophy of Mary Kay. The Golden Rule and helping others to succeed are the mainstays of the Mary Kay culture.

Well I am off to find more things to be thankful for. New friends, old friends, family, and more. I am thankful for it all!
If the Mary Kay philosophy seems like it might match yours don't hesitate to check out my website for more information or to give me a call. I am always looking for women to join my Mary Kay team who are looking to earn extra or start a new career in a positive environment.

Take a Chance Today or Stay Stuck in a Rut


We each determine our own future. Opportunities to succeed are placed in front of us every day and we can choose to embrace them or we can let them pass by without taking the chance. It is easy to stick to the routine. Avoiding risk is safe but it is sort of like refusing to step outside your front door for fear that something bad will happen. You may stay safe inside your home but then again something could happen there to hurt you too and you would have missed out on so much life by staying inside.

Just for today.... take a moment to meditate on your future. Where do you see yourself in a week, in a month, in a year.... You can remain static and most likely safe or you can grab hold of the opportunities in front of you and grow. Each new experience helps to bring us to a higher state of existence. Sure sometimes you fail but even in failure there is knowledge and then you can go on to the next opportunity armed with more information.

I hope your future is rosy and you find a way to take those risks. Break away from the comfortable routine and try it. It is the only way to grow!

Watch Me And Be Amazed


I admit it...I am guilty of letting opportunity slip by. Well I am back from a wonderful retreat with new enthusiasm and some great new tools to help me in my business and I will no longer allow myself to be distracted from my goals.

We often waste the very time that we could be using to solve a problem by worrying about how we will solve it. We allow ourselves to make excuses for why things are not happening and as someone stated this weekend "an excuse is a lie that only we believe." Well no more wasted time on worry and no more excuses. I am ready to move.

Today I will do what I need to do for my business. I will avoid the things that distract me from my goals. I am on a mission. Watch me and be amazed!

Would you like to help? Well give me a call or send a text and be one of my 10 who will listen. I need to try out this new presentation on 10 women by Wednesday and I need feedback on it to report back to my director.
