Why do we make resolutions?

Did you ever avoid stepping on the cracks in the sidewalk when you were walking down the street as a kid? I sure did. According to psychologists, this strange habit has a scientific explanation.

There’s not one formula for success as businesses vary in nature. However, you can spice up your entrepreneurial recipe by remembering to always include the following ingredients:

Five Ways to Practice Visualization for Results You Want

motivational quote about visualizationA wise man named Marcus Aurelius once said, “Our lives are what our thoughts make them.” If we want to achieve great things in life, we have to think great things about ourselves and see ourselves excelling in our minds. That’s exactly where visualization comes in.

As a little kid, any time I wanted to dance in a recital, compete in a pageant or participate in a science fair, my dad had me visualize myself being successful. He knew that this was a fundamental first step to performing well and achieving my goal. It also gave me a chance to see where I could fail and what hard work it would take, without my dad having to say it.

The Prison – Developing Self Belief

Existence cocooned by four, strictly vertical, unscalable, unbreakable walls.

There is enough space to maneuver but there are limits. The debilitating barriers of mediocrity. A fuzzy, distant haze so far and yet magically so near. A restricted view, obscured by the convoluted, rigmarole of daily shenanigans and the drudgery of carving a life within the strict parameters of the prison. Outside there is a world of outstanding creativity. There is everything one can desire, want or need but you’re indisposed, your hands are tied, your path is blind.

Two simple questions come to mind;

1. Where did the prison originate?

Cort DaviesIf you are like me your brain is always on, whether it’s thinking about your job, coming up with new business ideas, getting excited for vacation, your relationship, your mortgage, and on and on and on. You may notice that some mornings you are on fire with motivation and others you are groggy and slow. What gives?

3 Incredibly Important Things to Keep in Mind on Your Journey to Self-Discovery

Natalie LedwellWhen I was younger, I developed a limiting belief around money that restricted me from attaining the professional and financial success I longed for.

You see, just a few short years ago I was buried in over $120,000 in debt. It seemed like no matter what I did, I couldn’t seem to dig myself out. I was an entrepreneur, but I wasn’t making money. Quite the opposite in fact! And, what’s worse is I was also struggling with my weight and self-image. All of these things
were making it really hard to stay positive.

Seven Helpful Tips for a Happier You

“It is your choice to be happy. Make up your mind to enjoy this day, to have a blessed, prosperous, victorious year. You may have some setbacks and your circumstances may change, but don’t let that change your mind. Keep it set to happiness.” – Joel Osteen

For many, the word happiness is downright elusive. They are finding it hard to understand and experience this seemingly simple emotion. Thus, they end up enduring the daily grind feeling weary and depressed.

My unnecessarily long and difficult journey towards becoming an action taker

Action is the difference maker“I can’t do this anymore!” The words ringed in my ear over and over again. “I’m too tired. I need to take a break. Besides, I’ve done enough already.” Rationalizations poured out of me like vomit. With every sentenced, my back dropped lower into my chair.

My right hand slowly reached for the mouse. My left went for the keyboard. I typed in “youtube” and it was all over. Taking action was never my strong suit. As a kid, I made a habit out of doing everything in the last possible moment. I did my homework 30 minutes before going to school.

Confidence is often that one thing that determines whether you get hired for that job, seal a business deal, or get that girl. After a certain point, it doesn’t matter what skills you have or don’t have. Great things are often born out of half-baked ideas backed by the powerful belief that it will happen.

Remember what J.M. Barrie, author of Peter Pan, said: you’ll stop flying the moment you start doubting whether you can.

Easier said than done, right? We’re not all born with movie-star good looks or the ability to sweet-talk our way into getting the things we want, Jordan Belfort style.

Success Lesson: The Great Value of Failure

Early Jackson - motivational speaker & authorWe live in a society that keeps telling us we should be resisting anything that looks like failure. From childhood, failure is looked upon as the ultimate disaster. It has somehow grown to mean you have reached your limitation and that you have let yourself and others down. We cower in shame after those around us get wind that we have failed at something.

The cold hard reality is this; failure is not the end, it is the beginning. As you stumble across the threshold of failure you discover a brand new world filled with possibilities. The price for such admittance is to fail.
