The Keys to your Success


Your dreams are your own. Nobody else has YOUR specific goals and dreams.

YOU hold the key to your own success in manifesting your dreams and goals.

How do you DO that? (DO is an action word)

1- ACKNOWLEDGE your goals and dreams

2- Allow them free reign in your heart, soul, brain, subconscious AND Conscious thoughts

3- Write down your goals and dreams and post them all over (your work area, living space, car etc)

4- DO 15-30 minutes of personal development EVERY DAY (tapes, cds, books, meditation, affirmations

5- Remember that your dreams belong to YOU and only you. Be Audacious, bold and daring and be prepared to step OUT of your comfort zone to move forward every day towards your dreams and goals.

6- BE single minded and FOCUSED on your dreams and goals; do not let any one dissuade you or tarnish your dream. COVET YOUR DREAMS and KNOW that they are already yours. It is your job to attract them to you.

Remember that it is the Journey that counts and once you attain your goals and dreams you will give birth to another and another. PAY ATTENTION to the little things that occur daily. THEY are the stuff that dreams are made of :-)

7- Practice The Slight Edge. Take baby steps, every single day.

Contact me for a free Slight Edge Chart and be sure and read The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson.

Remember, whatever you want to be you ALREADY ARE.

Look inside yourself and BELIEVE.

When you take action you invite the Universe to orchestrate things, people and events that will bring your dreams and goals to you. BE KIND TO YOURSELF and others; BE a Compassionate Marketer.

Practicing Abundance, Prosperity & Kindness EVERY DAY,

RS

Patience, Perseverence & Belief

This past weekend brought Passover AND Easter. The Universe presented us with a spiritual buffet. Last night I tuned in to one of my all time favorite films........Charlton Heston, Yul Brenner, Edward G Robinson..........can you guess? The 10 Commandments.

I remember when I was a little girl and saw this grand film in the "new" Technicolor on a GIANT screen. I remember drooling over a handsome Moses (Charlton Heston) and am exotic and mysterious Pharaoh (Yul Brenner). Edward G Robinson who played characters in many "Gee" movies about gangsters in the 30' s & 40's (and was the pride of my grandparents who always thought of him as "the Jewish boy who made good) of course was yet again, another "bad guy" Hebrew turning against his people AND his G-d.

If you've seen this film a gazillion times like me, I hope you saw it again last night! If you've never seen it, please do yourself a favor and rent the DVD. The Technicolor is better than anything we have today (in my humble opinion) and the history lesson coupled with the dashing leading men of the day make for a wonderful few hours of ........entertainment?

Hmmmmmm, which brings me to why this post is titled, Belief, Patience, Perseverance.

In order for us to attain our goals, we know we must write them down. Even BEFORE we do that, however, we must BELIEVE that we are "good enough" to reach for them, and then indeed, attain them. Moses displays this belief from the very start of the "Saga" in the movie. Don't forget, the retelling of this story is factual. Moses was left in the reeds on a River as an infant to be claimed by The mother of Pharaoh. He was raised to ascend to that throne until "fate" redirects Moses as he discovers that he is indeed a Hebrew. Moses then realizes that his kindness for and towards the "slaves of the day" (The Hebrews) was not just an accident of character. As history unfolds, Moses in embraced by G-d to lead the Hebrew people out of Egypt to freedom.

His evil brother conspires with the sitting Pharaoh and exiles Moses out of the "court" and into the slave camps of the Hebrews where Moses learns about his "birth" people. His BELIEF embodies him and he then perseveres to "know" his G-d. The reward is that G-d chooses Moses to embark on a path of leadership that brings us the 10 Commandments and a deeper faith to all.

Once The Hebrews successfully crossed through the Sea (parted by G-d) to escape Egypt, they wandered for FORTY (40) years before coming to The Promised Land. Moses wrapped himself in his BELIEF as he persevered. Patience was never lost, even as the people may have become misguided, Moses maintained his sense of purpose and belief through those forty years of trials and tribulations.

For those who don't know why The Hebrews wandered for 40 years, it was because G-d wanted to make sure that all those who originally left Egypt were dead. The Promised land was to be for those who were actually born in the travail and journey of those 40 years. It was THEY who embodied the belief, perseverance and patience, and "the knowing" that they would achieve their goals. Moses himself was not allowed to enter the new land. Joshua lead the people into the land.

What can we learn from all this? If you are a non believer there is still a valuable lesson in the history of the "story".

~~~~Moses embraced his belief and HELD on to it for FORTY YEARS

~~~~He persevered through obstacles, travails, food shortages, thirst, enemies and those who were naysayers not wanting him to succeed.

~~~~His faith, kindness, devotion and caring for others was embodied in his BELIEF in his Journey and its Reward.

Moses knew that he would not be able to enter "The Promised Land". Yet he continued his journey because it brought reward to others. HIS reward was in leading helping others :-)

Compassionate Marketers know that we must always think of others and help them define and reach toward their goals in order for us to reach ours. We must embrace our own belief in ourselves and our worthiness. We must take one step at a time and move forward day by day and have the patience and understanding that we WILL be moving forward. We must always, in the face of adversity (or those naysayers in our lives) persevere in order to attain our goals.

For a few hours last night I became that little girl again, watching Moses speak with G-d, battling the Egyptians, and leading my people out of Egypt.

For a few hours last night I sat in front of my 221 inch tv screen but magically my mind was transposing the images to that Jumbo tron screen of my youth.

For a few hours last night I felt myself BECOMING my beliefs, REGAINING my Faith and perseverance, and knowing that I must take one step at a time, each and every day to attain my goals.

This morning I am aglow with a RENEWED sense of faith (in my G-d, The Universe and myself)
and KNOW that I already am everything I want to be so I am putting one foot in front of the other, taking steps every day on my journey and KNOW that I will attain my goals.

What about you?

May your day be a treasure bringing Increase and Plenty to your door.

How to attain your Personal Best


Hello my friends,

"The starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat." Napoleon Hill


Napoleon Hill finally published Think and Grow Rich in the 1930's. It took him TEN YEARS of interviewing people before he sat down to write his book!

He had a goal, wrote it down and then TOOK ACTION, 10 years of action!

Success usually does not take that long. So what do you do first?

1- Define your goal(s)

2- Write them down

3- Take Action Every Day

4- KNOW that you will attain your goal. BELEIVE in yourself


Do something daily that will move you forward. This action may not get you to your end goal, however, like Napoleon Hill, it will progressively move you forward, each and every day :-)

Napoleon Hill could not sit down and write a book in 1 day or even a week or a month.

He started by taking action, interviewing people on a consistent basis, honing his own interviewing skills as he talked with each person.

Remember the old adage from Mom? I bet it is rattling around your brain someplace! I can see myself at the Piano as a little girl hearing my Mom say it!

Ask Michael Phelps the Champion Olympian Swimmer....... he knows the adage too:

"Practice makes perfect".

To be perfect, one must practice. That requires action each and every day!

Here's a secret: you do NOT have to be perfect (unless you are Michael Phelps) to attain your goal as long as you believe in yourself and take (the correct) actions each and every day.


Go for the Gold! You can do it AND you deserve it!


May your day be a treasure bringing Increase and Plenty to your door.


Practicing Abundance, Prosperity & Kindness EVERY DAY,

Compassionate Marketing Lessons from the Running Trail


I started Running again last week! It's been 4 years since I last ran my daily 5 Kilometers twice a day. I stopped running after 5 years because I got "dizzy" on that last 99 degree day and almost didn't make it home. When I run, my body temperature goes up about 15 degrees! It was SCARY and I couldn't bring myself to get back to one of the things I loved best because of that fear!

Know what I mean?

For me, running clears my head, allows me to hear myself think and allows me to work out and focus on my plan of action for the day. It allows me to focus on my daily, weekly, monthly and long term goals. NOT running has taken its toll on the way my days shake out :-(

So, back to beautiful Town Lake in Downtown Austin Texas (The Colorado River runs right through downtown) where one can embrace nature, the flowers and fauna and clean out the cobwebs in your mind. Some bike the trail, some walk and some are running. ALL are experiencing their own "daily mental cleanse" no matter which activity they do.

What about you?

What are YOU doing to clean out your brain and keep planning and DOING on a daily basis?

A funny thing happened today on the trail. Actually, 3 things, all related.

First I saw a BEAUTIFUL Doberman Pinscher puppy, only about 12 weeks old. He had just had his ears "clipped" (ouch!) and probably shouldn't have been there. He was cowering in between his owners' legs while the bikes whizzed by, the people ran past and the walkers meandered on their way. This puppy was SCARED of all of it. The noises, the smells, the din! There was just much too much going on for this little fella. His name was Adler. I wanted desperately to go over to him and get some licks and pet him but as I quietly inched my way up to him, stopping and cooing his name every foot or so, he got more and more upset. His "owner", a young lady who had never had pets before (and was certainly NOT a Mother) did not understand that Adler was scared, or why. She kept on pulling him on.

I am an animal lover, and although I share my living space with Sweet Pea an English Siamese Cat, this beautiful, large pawed, two toned reddish brown Dobie baby was calling to me. Alas, I couldn't get near him!

~~What did he make of all the confusion?

~~What did he make of the person who he was supposed to trust and rely on for support, love and caregiving?

~~What did he think of himself?

Adler has not been empowered by his "owner" nor has he been embraced or given the option to learn the skills that will make him a strong, empowered, secure pet/animal/sentient being.

What about you?


The second thing that happened on the trail today was when I was sprinting a section of the path and suddenly found myself in a fit of giggles so hard I had to stop. Coming towards me was a runner with her dog on a lead. THIS dog was, get ready............part dachsund and part wire haired terrior. Looooooooooong and standing about 4 inches from the ground he had curly white hair like a terrior with spots of brown and black. His tail was long and his ears were held in a way that didn't allow them to flop as he ran with his human.

THIS animal was a king amongst kings! He was REGAL in his trot AND the way he carried his head. He was secure in who he was and was enjoying the moment. He KNEW he was perfect and exuded that to all those who looked (and giggled) as they gazed on him.

What about you?


The third thing that I experienced today was, on this trail teaming with animals and their humans trotting, running, sprinting, walking and biking.........an older gent MEANDERING down the running trail at a snails' pace with his cane. I had stopped a few yards behind him to catch me breath and ponder the water, the birds and marvel at the clarity that overwhelmed me. Slowly, I approached this old fellow. He methodically put one foot in front of the other and then moved his cane. He then stopped to admire a bird, flower, or the flow of the Colorado River. It's been storming here the last few days and the river is high and pregnant with life. SO WAS THIS Older fellow. I stopped along side him and said "howdy" ( the customary hello in Austin) and he smiled, slowing down even further. I asked him if he was enjoying his walk and he beamed with pride, self assurance, perseverence and the knowledge that HE WAS DOING JUST WHAT HE INTENDED on doing for the day! We chatted briefly, I hailed goodbye and was off...... but will never forget the three lessons I learned today.

They are all related.

You ARE what you THINK you are.

It is all about your SELF IMAGE and

what you THINK about yourself.


Adler the Grand Doberman Pinscher puppy wil never be secure or loving. He is a sad, cowering little puppy with no support from his human owner.

My little Dauchsie/Terrier mix IS a king among kings; grand, secure, eloquent in his movement and the way he carried himself, poised and sure of himself.

My elderly Gent eclipsed them all in lessons today. He accomplished what he set out to do today.

All three ARE what they think they are!

What about you?


May your day be a treasure bringing Increase and Plenty to your door.

Finding Your Inner Truth


Where do we find our inner truth?


The last several weeks find me cultivating and growing a new friendship. Each conversation reveals a little more about my friend, AND myself. You see, as we "tell stories" about ourselves, our lives, our families, we are imprinting what WE BELIEVE to be true on to others, and the Universe.


We have studying Perception, and know that perhaps, what we THOUGHT we saw, felt, tasted, experienced, may not have been exact or even true! We each bring our perceptions to our present and past, so it is important to keep that in mind.


Find the truth FOR yourself IN yourself. Helen Mirin put it best, "Find the Truth OF yourself".

Finding the truth FOR yourself requires that you

1- have the Intention of being KIND to yourself

2- know that you are Worthy and Valuable

3- not be judgemental of yourself

4- be able to embrace yourself

5- be willing to celebrate WHO you are


Our individual identities are NOT a reflection of what others think we are. The chatter and the smog in our brain, emotions and psyche usually cloud our ability to recapture and REMEMBER exactly who we are.

Several exercises that will allow you to RECLAIM the ability to to that are:


1- remember when you were a small child, without preconceptions or prejudice. Remember the DELIGHT, the NEWNESS of an experience or thing, the simple pleausures like LAUGHTER and JOY. Now take a mental journey to a place you CREATE in your minds' eye and allow yourself to FEEL your emotions without judgement.

2- Realize that it is only you that controls your thoughts. We all have choices. Do not let ANYONE rent space in your brain. It is precious real estate my friend! Create your own "perfect day" or "perfect moment". Feel, smell, see, all the beauty and warm feelings that accompany your perfect moment or day. Allow yourself to be EMBRACED by the feelings and emotions.

3- KNOW and understand that your perfect day is a tool that you might use to BLOCK OUT any negative voice that creeps in to your brain. It's free, it's powerful, it's UNIQUE and it is you!


Finding the truth FOR yourself by looking INTO yourself and you will, as Helen Mirin put it best, "Find the Truth OF yourself" AND, as Shakespeak so eloquently and simply stated, "To Your Own Self Be True!"

May your day be a treasure bringing Increase and Plenty to your door.

Goal Setting; Does Life get in the Way?

Does Life get in the Way?

We all know that we must set a Goal for ourselves, whether it be for our Home based business or even our personal lives. There are lots of articles on Goal Setting; how to, what to say, and how to stay focused. Lots of people Are making money selling you articles or “programs” so that you can “Stick to” Your goals.

The truth is that goal setting and KEEPING your goal activities is very simple IF you understand what might derail you :-)

Here are a few reasons that you might put your goals aside:

1- Your Vision is not clear
2- You do not believe you are worthy
3- “Life” gets in the way
4- You do not persevere
5- It’s easier to quit than to take one step at a time towards your goal


Your Vision


What is your personal vision? Is it physical, spiritual, business, personal?

Whatever YOUR vision is you will know it because you will TASTE IT, SMELL IT And FEEL IT just as if it is already yours!

1- Write a VISION STATEMENT and post it on your VISION BOARD (some people call it a DREAM BOARD). Be sure your written Statement is clear with ALL the details of your vision. If you want to build a home for instance, make sure all the details are included in your statement; size of lot, location, the view from each room, colors of rooms, dimensions, exposure etc.

2- Be sure and include your activities as if you are already living in the home; be very specific.

3- Be sure to write your Vision Statement in the NOW (present tense)

On Being Worthy/Self Esteem

Working on our self-esteem is on ongoing process. Most of us have some kind of “Gotcha’s” living in our heads. May be we hear our Aunt or a parent telling us that we are “not able” or will “never be able” to do be successful. Consider that we most ALWAYS live up to those voices; it is called Self-Fulfilling Prophecy.

1- Start your own Personal Growth, it’s easy! Read or listen to tapes for at least 30 minutes daily. Here are some great titles to get you started:

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
TNT the Power Within You by Claude Bristol ****
7 Habits of Successful People by Stephen Covey
Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles

We can use Self Fulfilling Prophecy to turn our lives in to a Positive stream of energy rather than derailing us and keeping us from attaining our goals. Each day that you read and absorb these details and concepts and PUT THEM IN TO PRACTICE you are becoming a stronger and more successful person J

Does Life get in the Way?

Make yourself your own Number 1 priority. Go ahead, it’s okay. Did you know that most of the baby boomers were taught that it was selfish of them to ask for something for themselves or even make themselves a priority? Not True!! In fact, JUST THE REVERSE IS TRUE. Putting yourself first, ASKING for what you want is just the thing that will INITIATE the energy of the Universe and help you move towards your goals.

Make YOURSELF and your GOALS a priority and then TAKE ACTION; move forward and do not lose sight of what you want or where you are going.

Perseverence & The Easy way Out!


Remember, your goals are YOURS and you are able to achieve anything you desire as long as you believe you are worthy and able. Working on yourself is an ongoing, lifetime process. Attaining your goals usually doesn’t take a lifetime. The trick is NOT TO QUIT and keep moving forward towards your goal. If you DO this, you NEVER lose :-)

I recently spoke at a Leadership Summit and told the audience, “Whatever you think you want to be YOU ALREADY ARE; you simply need to take the Actions to bring it in to your reality. Whatever you want to attain you need only to take the Actions to bring it in to Your reality for it is already here waiting for you”

This is YOUR Life! Don’t let it get in the way; make it whatever you want it to be!
