A Notable November
 
Indeed.  And we still have 15 more days of fun!  First and foremost, I want to announce that the last two weeks have been auspiciously, prosperous for several of our readers and clients.  Many have reached milestones in their careers, vocations and entrepreneurial aspirations.  It is the most incredible feeling when someone shares that they "made the connection," or secured their seed money, or will be on National TV... Be on National TV?!  Charmaine Bassett, Sacramento CA's most vibrant Radio Host, will be a guest on The Tyra Banks Show, today.  Here are all the details:

The City of Phoenix, Arizona is giving Fran Briggs "the keys to the classrooms" at 7:00 AM, tomorrow morning.  I have accepted the administration of, "Principal for the Day."  Enthusiastically, I look forward to working with the wonderful students and staff members from Glendale High School.  What an incredible honor. If you've ever considered getting into education before, come on down.   I'm hiring that day.  ;  )
 
And, last but not least, I want to thank my family, our readers, and friends who honored me with the most wonderful cards, greetings, and gifts.  Thank you for the love.  Thank you for making my 44th year on earth, memorable.
 
 
 
Thoughts Are BIG Things
 
Everything that you see in the natural now, began with a dynamic, single, thought.  You will remain a creator of thought as long as you have the ability to concoct a thought.  This means, your thinking creates each second.  Look at your immediate environment.  Is it but a small reflection of who you really are?  If you don't like it, build upon it.  Your mind determines the size of your thinking. Dare to believe big.  Your thoughts are BIG things.
   

Networking: Iron Sharpens Iron - by James Briggs, Jr.

 

In a society where selfishness runs rampant, it's refreshing to witness individuals working together as a unit to assist in each other's dreams, goals, and aspirations. Arguably, one of the best examples of this process is called Networking. Networking is a powerful strategy often used in the professional world. Many organizations utilize networking to win as a team. 

 
When we labor together, we discover that our strengths encourage others; and our weaknesses are augmented into excellence. This is the essence of every great, collaborative endeavor.  This is the essence of iron, sharpening iron.

Earvin “Magic” Johnson consistently dazzled fans, opponents (and even his teammates) with his legendary skills for over thirteen years. In doing so, he lead the “Showtime,” Los Angeles Lakers, to five NBA titles. I'm an avid Lakers' fan, and have been for over 30 years. I know Magic had at least a couple thousand "spectacular shots" during his career. Yet, I can only recall one.                                                                                                                    

What I do recall about Johnson, was his audacious ability to pass. He had the talent to locate, initiate, communicate and facilitate just as all great networkers do. He brought out the greatness in "average" players and incited a renewed spark of life in his elder: Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Few would argue that Earvin "Magic" Johnson was one of the greatest basketball players the world has ever seen. And, few knew that his one weakness was what 96% of the other professionals in his field easily, regularly, and brilliantly executed.

"Magic" Johnson was a three-time, MVP recipient ... with an "all-time," sub par, jump shot.

However, iron sharpens iron.

None of us are complete until we assist and network with others. In doing so, we achieve honorable and memorable, greatness.

Success To You!

The Power of What, The Power of How by Fran Briggs

 

What would I absolutely love to do for a total stranger?
How can I prove my love?

What could I do to leave this world a better place?
How long am I going to wait?

What would I do if I knew I could not fail?
How will I ever know?

 
What do I still need to learn?
How long will I wait to become a student?

What is the greatest challenge I have ever overcome?
How can I use the experience to inspire and empower others?

What is my biggest dream?
How long will I wait to awaken?

 
What gifts do I possess that I am most grateful for?
How can I express my gratitude?
 
Pick a Goal, Not Just Any Goal
 
What goal, once obtained, would make the greatest impact in your life?  Think about it and write it down in a journal at least 7 times a day.  Set it as an intention.  Decree, your thing.  Vow to keep the momentum going.  Write down something everyday which you will do that specifically moves you toward your goal.  Create the image.  Manifest the reality.
