Food for thought

Steve Jobs was profoundly flawed, to the degree that I don't
think I would have liked him. But he also had a powerful down-
to-earth imagination that he applied to practical, every day
problems. He could see the future and insisted on making it
happen. He saw problems as opportunities, and at a time when
computers were grey metal boxes for hackers and tinkerers, he
imagined tools that you and I can use to change our world.
We should learn from that!

How to go from Nothing to Everything

Today I received an inspiring mail and decided to share.... She wrote that since she has no 

money, recommendations to attend seminars are unreasonable,

that "it takes money to make money." She says that artists

are often unappreciated and under paid. She complained that

she had no contacts and no resources, so my "advice is a

sham." Unfortunately, she's probably not the only one who

feels that way. Read more after the cut.....

Food for thought

Everything starts with an idea. Thomas Edison started with
ideas. Bill Gates started with ideas. Oprah Winfrey started
poor and alone, but she had some ideas. And all of them took
action. Share your best ideas with a "master mind" group of
friends, and ask great questions. Find the answers and take
action. Everything in life starts as an idea, a glimmer or
a dream. The difference is that successful people follow a
strategy and persist until their ideas become reality.

What Do I Look For in A perfect Date

I saw this today and thought I will share it with all my teaming viewers. Do you think she is being realistic or is she just going over the top.........you be the judge.

I`m a simple girl looking for a man who can make me smile. It is not very hard, I don`t expect anything materialistic, just honesty, respect and the effort to make things happen. I prefer African American men.

Food for thought

For winners, winter is an amazingly time of year. While 
nature (and most of the competition) is sleeping, winners 
use the winter to stay focused and achieve greatness. What 
will you accomplish this winter? What magnificent goals will 
you achieve? Decide to make this your most productive season 
ever, then get to work. Make it happen. "Git 'er done!"

The "daily doing" enables the System to Beat any Goal set, all the Time

I recently wrote that "systems in place beat goals, all the time."

That sparked considerable interest and requests to 

say more about this. The key is that goals are a 

"destination" or target in the future. Systems involve 

repeated daily actions to get us there. It's important to 

strive for a future goal, but the secret of success is more 

in the "daily doing" than in the "big dreaming." Read more after the cut.

Coping with Over-Whelm

Every business owner or manager has far more to do than 

anyone can accomplish in the time available. We all have 

marketing and research to do, meetings to attend, people to 

supervise or a website to build. It’s easy to feel over-

whelmed.

What’s a leader to do?

Failures succumb. They let themselves get over-whelmed and 

have the feeling that it’s "too much," or that they "can’t 

do it all." 

Winners, on the other hand, accept reality. Of course you 

can't do it all! No one could! That’s the way life, and 

business, is. You can’t fight it.

Winners employ three simple steps, and I highly recommend 

them.

1.  They say, No! They understand that some of the have-to's 

are simply unrealistic and they say no, even if it would be 

nice if they could do them. Some of the things on any 

manager's list simply won’t get done, at least not today. 

Delegate or out-source as many things as you can. When 

necessary, just say No.

2.  They Sequence. This is another word for prioritizing. A 

few things must be done now, or soon. Others must be done, 

but can wait until tomorrow or next week, perhaps even until 

next year. Do the things of most importance, leave 

everything else until it’s turn.

3.  They Focus. Successful leaders do one thing at a time, 

and each individual item, at that critical moment, gets 

their full attention. When you’re in a meeting that you’ve 

decided is the most important thing at the moment, BE THERE! 

Pay attention. Be alert. Stay focused.
