An affirmation for today

Choose your goal (happiness, money, love, etc.), and say to yourself, "One way or another. I won't stop until I create this in my life."

And don't stop...despite bad days (or bad years) or failures or feeling hopeless, keep on anyway. If you've given up already, decide to change that decision today. And go out there. You'll be surprised what you can create.

"It's never crowded along the extra mile,"-Wayne Dyer.

How to know if you are being used

It happens at work, in business, and in our personal lives. There is a person who seems nice, always ready to help you out -- HOWEVER, you have a nagging feeling of insecurity. Are you being used? Or is it something else? This is how to tell if you are being used: 1) FEAR -- If you ever denied one of their requests, you FEAR a negative reaction , perhaps they would even fire you, de-friend you, or terminate whatever relationship you currently have. This is the number one SIGN that you are being used! ding, ding, ding! Users send messages that denying their request would spell doom for you -- and this is how they manipulate you.

Whether you CHOOSE to ALLOW them to ...

Why is change so hard?

Why do we do the same routines for decades, all the while knowing they are not right for us? When we make a change, we bring up ancient, primal pain – the pain of life or death. The fear of losing our life. The pain of losing the little we have already gathered together in our worlds. This is like trying to take a bone from a dog – good luck. It makes sense. Think of a cave person. Would they shake up their routine just to see what happened? Probably not. Leaving the cave at a different time might mean getting eaten by a big animal -- better to stick with what you know! So when we are making changes, the same gut-level fears can arise. It’s enough to make you curl up in the fetal position and sob – which is why, for most of us, we avoid making big life changes. We avoid thinking about things too deeply and instead go along with the crowd and hope that in the end, it will somehow all make sense. But this is not the way that we become happy. To be happy requires asking questions – ...

4 Hurdles for Transitioning From a "Regular Job" to Entrepreneurship

Becoming an overnight entrepreneur? Easier said than done -- a lifetime of structure (from education to the corporate world) can make it difficult to fly off on your own. But it can be done! Can I sharpen my pencil now? Do you remember asking your grade school teacher this question, as you anxiously awaited the answer with that broken lead staring at you. Then, it's asking your boss for vacation, or awaiting your next project. But what happens when YOU are the person who not only asks, but answers? What happens are a lot of hurdles that will set you back. These things are certain to, at one time or another, really bother you.

What are the hurdles for a person who has always had the structure of a regular, corporate job, to switch to the unstructured and unknown world of entrepreneurship? There are many, but here are the top 2.  1) Losin...
