Are you harnessing the power of TODAY?

Motivational speaker Stephen Pierce says:

“The difference between what you had yesterday and what you’ll have tomorrow is hidden in what you do today.”

I know, today is just one day, right?  But it is the day you have right now.

Yesterday has passed.  And there’s no guarantee of a tomorrow.

All we have is today.

Today can be spent on come-what-may.  Or it can be invested toward your worthwhile goals and dreams.

So…what’s one thing you can do TODAY to help you reach your preferred future tomorrow?

The Big Difference Between Success & Failure

Posted On October 28, 2011 1 Comment

I don’t know about you, but I used to always think there was a huge difference between success and failure…between people who succeeded in what they wanted in life, and those who failed.

Today, through my own experience and observation, I’ve realized the big difference between success and failure is really very small and subtle.

Jim Rohn explains it this way:

“Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. It is the accumulative weight of our disciplines and our judgments that leads us to either fortune or failure.”

When I pause to reflect on my own life, in light of this quote, I know Jim Rohn is correct. What about you? [Read more...]

Personal Growth Lessons from Steve Jobs

Posted On October 7, 2011 Leave a Comment

80864666409196d9334ca75ef0b368fc Personal Growth Lessons from Steve JobsApple founder Steve Jobs will long be celebrated for revolutionizing several industries, including personal computers, digital publishing, music, animated movies, phones, and tablet computing.

While I’m a devoted Apple fan and iPhone, iPod and Mac user, what’s more interesting to me than what Jobs did in his life was how he did it.  In other words, what were the factors that helped him become the success that he was?

I’ve read several articles about Jobs over the last few days since his death, and uncovered some interesting personal growth life lessons we can learn from his life. [Read more...]

Stop Making Excuses

Posted On September 26, 2011 Leave a Comment

3b7a5799e8e597703d0126ea0b0464b8 Stop Making ExcusesPlease stop making excuses or blaming others if you’re not enjoying the success you had hoped to achieve at this point in your life.

I know from personal experience that it is all too easy to blame someone else for our misfortune, shortcomings, failures, or the lack of achievement in fulfilling our goals, dreams and hopes for the future.

The blame game is as old as humanity itself – since Adam & Eve ate the forbidden fruit in the Garden and Eden.

But the truth is this:

Our lack of achievement is our fault.  

Actually, it’s our choice.

Stop Waiting for Permission

Posted On September 20, 2011 Leave a Comment

7bc68c5875ff118c78314bcdd1e3eb8c Stop Waiting for PermissionI hereby give you permission to stop waiting for someone else to give you permission.  

Go ahead.  Start that business you’ve always wanted.  Complete that project you’ve been waiting to do.  Make your next move.

Most of us, for most of our lives, have been waiting on someone else to give us permission to act.  To tell us we’ve got what it takes.  To affirm that we’re worthy to achieve and succeed.

It begins innocently enough when we’re children who are dependent upon our parents.  But for many, it continues on long into adulthood.  They wait for their boss to give them permission.  Or their spouse.  Or still…their parents.

I’ve observed recently that few successful people wait for permission.  They take permission. [Read more...]

Feeling Overwhelmed by Social Media?

Posted On September 9, 2011 1 Comment

d87117a57aa279208ca68c8f0dcaed88 Feeling Overwhelmed by Social Media?Do you ever feel overwhelmed by social media and find it hard to keep up with the people you follow on Facebook and Twitter?  You’re not alone!

Two famous people I follow on Twitter, Michael Hyatt and Chris Brogan, recently declared Twitter bankruptcy.

In other words, they decided to unfollow everyone they had been following on Twitter, because their Twitter stream had become too overwhelming.

Both of them had over 100,000 followers, which meant they were unable to keep up with the people they really wanted to keep up with.  And, they were getting a ton of spammy direct messages on Twitter, which they had to cull through every day. [Read more...]
