7 Steps to Achieving Your Goals

Most people set goals - which they never achieve. Why? What is the difference between people who set goals and reach them, and the people who set goals and never come close? I see a few differences: 1. You've got to have a really big dream, one that totally captures your imagination, that truly inspires you. 2. Choose a model, someone who has done what you want to do. Study every aspect of that person, their skills, their resources, and what they have achieved, so you understand what it takes. 3. Write down every detail of that dream, no matter how trivial it may seem. The more detail you can picture in your mind, the closer you get to your dream becoming reality. 4. Spend time each day picturing your exact dream. After you have built your dream picture, it doesn't take but 3-5 minutes a day to focus completely on it. That action will drive you to your dream's achievement. 5. Focus every action in your day on making some part of your dream a reality. 6. Wher

You wouldn't think one simple word with two tiny letters could have the power to keep countless individuals and organizations from realizing their goals and dreams.  But they do, day after day, year after year.  What two tiny letters can do all that? N.O. We all know that NO can be a very destructive word in the world.  That word can keep you from achieving your goals and succeeding.  The key is to look at the NO as not so much as a negative but, a positive word.  Reprogram your thinking to include the word NO.  We all know that YES is the destination but, NO may be how you can get there.  Don't be afraid of it, take it as a challenge and jump the NO hurdle. Andrea Waltz and Richard Fenton http://www.goforno.com/ can also show you have to get over the NO hurdle.  Everyone loves the sound of the word YES...it is so positive, so empowering.  Make that word be positive and empowering for you.  With the right programming and strategies you can turn the greates obstacle sta

Are You Wearing Yours?

Don't Get It twisted, It's Not About The Shoes...It's About The Woman Wearing The "HECK" Out Of Those Shoes!!! Have you ever felt a pinch every now and then from a recent broken heart?  Or from a past broken heart for that matter?  But, you keep going because duty calls.  You push back your own anxiety about being a victim of the latest financial crisis we are facing as a country, because duty calls.  You're going through the airport and you get a phone call describing the latest family drama that you need to deal with when you get back, but duty calls.  There are some broken friendships that need mending and others that need to be ended, but for right now duty calls.  So as you click, clack, click, clack down the hallway, you realize that putting on those fierce heels didn't transform you into someone you wasn't already.  They just confirmed that 'she' is indeed in the building!  And 'she' is that divine thing that God so carefully

Being Successful at what You do Starts at Home

Success is a combination of ambition, drive, skills, dedication with a smattering of luck thrown in. Some of us are luckier than others and the luck seems to be fickle about when it will show up. So, since you can’t count on luck, you have to develop and foster the other skills to succeed in anything you do. Becoming successful and remaining successful require that you develop exceptional skills, a drive to overachieve and a dedication or intensity in your performance. To develop and hone these skills, you should practice them all the time. Success principles apply to everything you do, and that includes searching for your ideal business. If you're not taking the steps to get noticed by those you network with, you aren't working toward being successful in your business. A simple first step to take in this direction is to get your business out in front of the public with press releases. Another method to get noticed by cutomers and clients is by posting your business on so

Saving with Coupons

Image
Okay, I know we all hate clipping coupons.  But, do you know or realize how much money you can save from clipping coupons?  You can save a great deal of money for you and your family.  All it takes is time...a few minutes out of your day to clip coupons.  When you receive what we all call junk mail in your mailbox, to be honest, it's not really junk mail.  If you look at it in a different light, it's money saving mail.  Companies and businesses don't put those mailers in the mail to you just for the sake of it being junk and being wasteful, they put those mailers together as a way to get you to save money and to advertise and market their products and services. With the economy being what it is and money being tight in some families, clipping coupons will not hurt to do in order to say money.  Think about it, you may have a family vacation that you want to take, or you are looking to save for your children's future, or you just have some purchase you may want to mak

5 Ways to Curb Bank Overdraft Fees

5 Ways to Curb Bank Overdraft Fees by Diana Ransom Wednesday, June 2, 2010 Consumer banking has grown friendlier over the last few years. Most retail banks have done away with annual fees and account minimums on basic accounts. Some now regularly offer cash incentives and other gifts just for signing up. However, banks have long refused to budge on their ultra-lucrative policies on overdraft fees. Now, that's changing too. On July 1, new federal rules will require banks to ask customers to opt in for overdraft coverage -- a line of credit that kicks in when account holders make purchases that exceed their available checking and debit account balances. To lure customers to their programs, some banks are trimming their overdraft fees. Currently, such fees average $34 per debit transaction or ATM withdrawal, according to the Center for Responsible Lending. However, under the new law, if account holders don't opt in, banks won't be able to cover their charges when thei
