QUOTES OF THE WEEK  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
"Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Now a handful of people and their lawyers are telling us to cease praying.  God help us... And if that last sentence offends you, well ... just sue me."
 
- Paul Harvey -- ABC Radio Networks, Hello Americans, The Rest of the Story, News and Comment, American Radio Legend
 
 
"I listened to the words which prompted me to boldly step out in faith and take immediate action.  They were more than clear.  But I took not."
 
F. Briggs
 
 
"2006 is the year that I really am going to ____________."
 
 
Earlier this month, tens of millions of people from across the globe set their intentions towards making 2006 their year.  Some started by stating: 
 
"2006 is the year that I really am going to ____________."
 
What about you?  How would you fill in the blank?  Would you be willing to commit to it?  Being committed means that you expect to change your life for the greater and are open to experiencing exponential success.  Take a moment before day's end and complete the mission statement above.  It won't take a lot of effort. 
 
Imagine the outcome.  Does it make you smile?  It should.  Achieve what you set out to achieve.  Pick up the sticks in 2006.
 
 
The Proof is in the Deadlines

When writing down and articulating your goals, dreams and desires, most people will include the objectives, or specific steps of action that will move them in the direction of the goals.  Examples of objectives include:

ØReserve 2.5 hours of quality time with my family
ØWrite 33 pages of my book
ØMake a deposit of 11% of my profits into my long-term fund
ØLose 17 pounds
ØRevamp resume
ØMake 40 "cold calls"

Goal setting requires that you take the time to include a deadline to each objective as well as the goal itself. A deadline is simply a "To be done by date."  Do you really what to reach that goal?  How do you know?  The proof is in the deadlines.  Deadlines definitively say, "I fully intend and expect to reach my destiny."  Here are the same objectives made complete, with deadlines.


ØReserve 2.5 hours of quality time with my family each evening
ØWrite 33 pages of my book by February 1, 2006
ØMake a deposit of 11% of my profits into my long-term fund on January 31, 2006
ØLose 17 pounds by March 18, 2006
ØRevamp resume by Wednesday, January 18, 2006
ØMake 40 "cold calls" by Friday, January 20, 2006       

Your deadlines will connect you to your destiny!

 

Eight Ways to Encourage Efficiency
 

1. Approach your time-consuming projects in planned segments.

2. Do not "max-out" your daily planner. Allow some time each day for appointments and impromptu leisure.
 
3. Focus on "the main thing" and keep it "the main thing."
 
 
4. Review your priorities before you begin each day.
 
 
5. Reserve a place for everything and make sure everything is in its place.
 
6. Work so your paperwork keeps moving.  File when completed.
 
7. Enjoy your meals and take your breaks away from your desk.
 
8. Stay highly productive; smile as you attend to your business.

21 Empowering Messages for Women

 

 
The Determinant of Your Success by Brian Tracy
 
 
Perhaps the most powerful single factor in your financial success is your beliefs about yourself and money. We call this the Law of Belief. It says simply this: Whatever you believe, with feeling, becomes your reality.

What Successful People Believe
Whatever you intensely believe becomes your reality. That we have a tendency to block out any information coming in to us that is inconsistent with our reality. What we've discovered is that successful people absolutely believe that they have the ability to succeed. And they will not entertain, think about, or talk about the possibilities that they'll fail. They do not even consider the possibility of failure.

Positive Thinking Versus Positive Knowing
You always act in a matter consistent with your beliefs. The most important belief system you can build is a prosperity consciousness where you absolutely believe that you are going achieve your financial goals. We call this positive knowing versus positive thinking. Positive thinking can sometimes be wishing or hoping. But positive knowing is when you absolutely know that no matter what, you will be successful.
 
Brian Tracy is a "world class" business and personal success coach.
 
 
P.Q.s: Power Questions
 
P.Qs. -- or Power Questions -- are used to introduce your mind to new information and options.  They are intended to shift your paradigm, thoughts and beliefs ... towards the greater.  Ask yourself these three, empowering questions.  Then, immediately follow up with specific, supporting action.  The action you take serves as a catalyst for change that can transform your life and create a healthier, wealthier and more vibrant, you!
 
  1. What thoughts of gratitude can I schedule in my "right now?"
    __________________________________________

     

  2. What are three steps outside of my comfort zone that will catapult me to my goal?
    __________________________________________

     

  3. What actions can I take to stop my energy from being stolen?
    __________________________________________
