Take Charge…It’s Your life!

Yesterday I was working from home and listening to Bon Jovi’s song “It’s My Life”…it’s now or never, I ain’t gonna live forever, I just want to live while I’m alive.   Maybe you know the song?

This past week I had the ability to travel to San Diego for a business conference.   It was AWESOME!!!!    The best part of this trip was connecting with people, building relationships and learning how we can help others.  It doesn’t get any better than that…people helping people succeed!

When you’re passionate about your business and how you can help others your home business with catapult to new heights!  It’s never about selling it’s about helping.

What is your purpose?   Let’s do this together.  Get crystal clear with it, write it out, go buy some poster board TODAY and write it down in BIG bold letters, cut out pictures and start dreaming big.   I’m creating a new vision board today, care to join me?

You can be, do or have anything you dream.  After that you know what I do?  I STOP and simply LISTEN to others and see if I can help fill a need.  That’s all, it’s that simple.   Don’t make it more complicated or difficult for yourself.  Let’s enjoy this journey together.

Here’s some pictures I wanted to share with you from this past week.   Wishing YOU much success!  Hugs, Jill

10 Words of Wisdom for Life

Someone has written these beautiful words. Thanks to my friend Deborah for sharing!  Have an awesome day!

They are like the Ten Commandments to follow in life all the time.

1] Prayer is not a “spare wheel” that you pull out when in trouble, But it is a steering wheel” that directs the right path throughout.

 

2] Why is a car’s WINDSHIELD so large & the rear view mirror so small? Because our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE. So, look Ahead and move on.

 

3] Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes a few seconds to burn, but it Takes years to write.

 

4] All things in life are temporary. If going well, enjoy it, they wll not last forever. If going wrong, don’t worry, they can’t last Long either.

 

5] Old friends are Gold! New friends are diamonds! If you get a Diamond, don’t forget the gold! Because to hold a diamond, you always Need a base of gold!

 

6] Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from Above and says, “Relax, sweetheart, it’s just a bend, not the end!

 

7] When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities; When GOD doesn’t solve your problems HE has faith in your abilities.

 

8] A blind person asked St. Anthony: “Can there be anything worse than Losing eye sight?” He replied:”Yes, losing your vision!”

 

9] When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and Sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has Prayed for you.

 

10] WORRYING does not take away tomorrow’s TROUBLES, it takes away today’s PEACE.

 

If you really enjoyed this, please pass to others. It may brighten someone’s day…

God Bless you!

Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.

Finally testing out HootSuite.com for ma

Finally testing out HootSuite.com for managing social networks. I’ve used sendible.com in the past but I must say I prefer HootSuite.com . How about you?

Can you really have it all? YES!!!!!!!

Are you taking good care of you?

Yesterday I took my daughter out for a fun-filled afternoon.  We explored the trails at Swallow Cliff, did lots of walking and stair climbing. It was totally last minute and looked like it might rain but we did it anyway.  It was so worth it!

Running a home business over the last decade has made me a decent planner (most days).  : )  Seriously though you have to take control of your time and truly be committed and disciplined to getting done what needs to be done if you want to see results.  Phone calls, returning emails, learning new skills, networking etc.

I use a weekly day-at-glance calendar each day with 15 minute increments to make sure I am making the most use out of my time (I’ll share more about that in another post).  Yesterday afternoon though there was no time-table, just a fun afternoon outside.

You know what?  I have been more productive today because of it.

You really can have the best of both worlds – family and  rewarding work.  But don’t let anyone fool you, it takes a strong desire and commitment.  Nothing happens magically overnight, stay persistent with whatever you dream about, then take action steps daily.  Even if it’s a small step that’s ok, you’re moving forward and that’s what counts!  I’ve had those ups and downs too, keep pressin’ on!

Take good care of you, use your time wisely, spend time with loved ones and HAVE FUN!

What have you been doing this month for fun?  Leave a comment, I would love to hear from you!  Jill

Opportunity is Knocking!

Your Road Map for Success…Many people are able to recognize an opportunity after it’s already passed them by….But seeing opportunities coming, that’s a different matter.

Opportunies are seldom labeled.  That’s why you have to learn what they look like and how to seize them.  The best people make it their responsiblity to go out and find them.

Walter P. Chrysler said, “The reason so many people never get anywhere in life is because when opportunity knocks, they are out in the backyard looking for four-leaf clovers.” Ha!  Now that’s a good one!!!!

Is there an opportunity right in front of you?   What are you waiting for…go for it and let’s talk!

Love & Success,

Jill

 

Repeat after me…

I will act now. I will act now. I will act now.

Henceforth, I will repeat these words each hour, each day, every day, until the words become as much a habit as my breathing and the action which follows becomes as instinctive as the blinking of my eyelids.

With these words I can condition my mind to perform every action necessary for my success.

I will act now.  I will repeat these words again and again and again.

I will walk where failures fear to walk. 

I will work when failures seek rest. 

I will act now for now is all I have.

Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor of the lazy; I am not lazy.  Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed; I am not a failure.

I will act now.   Success will not wait.

If I delay, success will become wed to another and lost to me forever.

This is the time. This is the place.  I am the person.           

–Og Mandino

Whatever it is you have planned to accomplish today, just do it and keep these words of encouragement visible every morning to help you make the most of each day.

Let’s Go!

A Lesson from Crabs….

Cute story I read today on your road map for success…

“As people catch crabs, they’ll toss [them]…into a basket.  If you have only one crab…, you need a lid to keep it from crawling out, but … when there are several crabs, they will drag one another down so that none of them can get away. 

Alot of unsuccessful people act the same way.  They’ll do things to keep others from getting ahead.  But the good news is that if you observe someone trying to do that, you don’t have to buy into their belief system.  You can get out and stay out of the basket by refusing to be a crab.  : )

Create a GREAT day!

Self-fulfillment vs. Self-development

Are you looking for a way to be self-fulfilled? 

That’s like making happiness your goal.  That would be self-fulfillment.

But self-development is a higher calling.  It is the development of our potential so that we can fulfill the purpose for which we were created…no matter how it makes us feel. 

We may wonder why we are going through a certain situation and then days or even years later we realize we wouldn’t be who we are if we didn’t experience some of the most challenging days of our life.  I can attest to that! 

Self-development always has one effect:  It draws us towards our destiny. 

Keep pressin’ on!

What’s the #1 Trait of a Great Leader?

General Dwight D. Eisenhower said, “There are no victories at bargain prices.”   To lead your life and business forward you must have strong self-discipline. 

When it comes self-discipline, people chose one of two things:

1. Either they chose the pain of discipline, which comes from sacrifice and growth.
2. Or they chose the pain of regret, which comes from taking the easy road and missing opportunities.

Nothing changes, if nothing changes.  Each person in life chooses their own path. Be willing to make decisions and then TAKE ACTION.  

If you tell yourself you don’t have strong self-discipline, STOP.  Go after this trait in small bite-size pieces each day.  Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out.

What will you decide to do with the time you have today?

Go and GROW!

Jill
