  Surround Yourself With The Right People

  Do you remember those wise words your parents shared about avoiding "the wrong crowd"? Well, here's the flip side — they might not have mentioned it, but surrounding yourself with "the RIGHT crowd" is a game-changer for success in anything you do.

  The Elephant In The Room

  What’s standing between you and your goals? It can be like the elephant in the room… We know it's there, but we ignore it, hoping it'll go away on its own. But these hurdles drain your energy… resources… and confidence. And worst yet, they reinforce the old stories we tell ourselves about our ability to change.

  Ever “waited” to try something until you felt more confident that you could actually do it? Here’s the problem with that logic… If you’ve ever read The Little Engine That Could, you might remember that in the beginning of the story, the train (who happens to talk!) doesn’t believe she can climb the hill in front of her. But, she didn’t let that stop her. Instead she told herself, “I think I can, I think I can,” … which turned into “I know I can, I know I can,” … and eventually the train made it to the top of the hill. Do you know what powered that little engine ....

  Begin With The End in Mind

  You’ve heard the saying, “Begin with the end in mind,” right? It’s near the top of Steven Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Successful People. The saying sounds straightforward, but “the end” he’s referring to?There’s actually a TWIST. When you create a vision for yourself — aka your goals — you create it TWICE. First, in your mind Second, in your physical life And here’s the kicker: The vision you create in your mind is the BLUEPRINT for what you physically create. This is why it is SO IMPORTANT to keep the end — what you really want — in mind. And to ....
