It was 1995 and I was struggling to get my business off the  ground. I was excited, spinning my wheels, yet getting nowhere  fast. Money was coming in, but more of it was going out than was  coming in.

Before very long, I found myself questioning whether or not to  close my business and give up on my lifelong dreams.

When you arrive at a point like this, there are two choices you  can make. First, you can choose to throw in the towel and walk  away. Many people take this route and in later years begin to  regret their  decision.

The other option is to keep going and find new ways to get  through the rough times. While you may wonder if there’s a third  choice of doing nothing, that’s really not making a choice at all  and it’s almost the same as giving up because if you do nothing,  you’ll soon have nothing.

So there really is only one choice and that’s to keep going.

Will 2010 be THE Year for You?

Or will it be just another year of the same old, same old?

When December 31st rolls around each year, we tend to get real excited about what the next year will bring. By about this time each year, we’re pretty much back to doing the same
things we’ve always done and we’re back to getting the same old results too.

This is a great time to take a moment to think about making a few small changes that can lead you to having a fabulous year instead of getting more of the same.

This past weekend, I attended a seminar in Los Angeles hosted by Terri Levine. I came away with 238 notes in just a 2-day event.

My point here is that you’ve got to look for places, people, and things that inspire you. I get inspired being around people who want to get more out of life. So I do attend and host seminars. I get inspired by reading books, listening to audio programs, and by watching motivational video presentations.

Life has a way of taking the wind out of our sail. It has a way to bring us down and often times all it takes is a phone call.

If you let it, life will rob you of your motivation, your energy, and your passion. These are the ingredients of success and in my world, I do everything I can to hang onto these things. What about you?

Are you fighting to stay on top of it all? Do you feel knocked down and dragged out at the end of the day? Are you wondering if things will ever get better?

You’re not alone, but being part of the crowd is not the best place to be. A better choice would be to find ways that will lead you to places the crowds will never go. You want to feel things the crowd will never feel. And you want to do things the crowd would never dream of doing.

When you do, you’ll begin to experience real freedom.

But most people will argue that they simply can’t even begin to imagine this because, hey did you hear what they said on the news tonight?

If you wait for all things to be lined up before you decide to take a step forward, you will miss out on the best parts of life before you finally figure out that you can have it all, you can have now, and you’ve already got what it takes to make it happen.

Which way do you want to play it?

Why not YOU?

You want to get the New Year off on the right foot. You want this year to look nothing at all like years past, and you want, more than anything a healthier bank balance.

It’s what most people want every New Year, but do you have a plan? Do you have an idea of how to get these things?

If you’re operating this coming year doing the exact same thing you did last year and the year before that, I promise you, not much is going to change.

In fact, you’ll likely do WORSE this year than in any year in the past if you don’t do something right now to change your approach!

The Best Christmas Gift of All

There is something you can give yourself now that doesn’t come in box, a bag, or wrapped up with bow, that you’ll love more than anything else you get this Christmas

You may be excited today because you’re going to both giving and receiving gifts for those you love most, but did you know that there is a gift that you can give yourself that will last a lifetime and that will give you great joy for all the years of your life?

It was back in 1994, Christmas Day to be exact that I gave myself this gift. Back then I was not making much progress in my career. In fact, I had just recently left a full time job with a great salary and benefits to go out on my own.

How to build, promote, and grow your business with social media!

Have a close look at this e-mail message because it contains the clues to successfully using social media to build your business. You’ll notice at the very top left hand side of this message that there are buttons for Facebook, Linkedin, and Twitter.

I’ve invited you to share this e-mail message with your followers, friends, and associates. So instead of this e-mail landing in your inbox for only you to see, it could quite possibly end up being seen by hundreds, or even thousands more people. Not bad for a few small buttons, right?

I was having a conversation this week with a client, whom I really love working with, about social media and an interesting point came up in our coaching session.

She mentioned that she had heard a lot about what to do on these social networking sites like Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, and others, but not once was she taught what to say and how to say it to the people she was connecting with!

She had a point. And I’ve seen most people go about the connecting thing all wrong, and in fact, sometimes they mess it up so bad that I simply delete their requests!

First, you’ve got to understand that your connecting to another human being on the other side of all the technology. You’ve got to understand that these people have thoughts, feelings, and emotions just like you. Read more…

I’d like to invite you to join me for a very special live event taking place here in San Diego this October where I will be sharing the answers to some very important questions.

For instance, money is a troubling issue for many people. It’s an issue that robs you of your life experience, your health, your relationships, and it can destroy your self-esteem.

In my book, it’s the issue to solve if you want to live a full and exciting life. But finding a new business idea or new marketing strategy is rarely the solution.

I know, if you just had more income, you’d be fine. But would you really? Or would it just be more of the same with more zeros to the left of the decimal point?

Listen, I could give you dozens and dozens of ways to bring in some extra bucks today doing so little work it would seem almost illegal to do.

It’s all the rage. Everybody is using it, but how many people are truly getting results, building their business, and improving their lifestyle as a direct result of using social media?

This is something I’ve been looking into for quite some time, and I’m happy to report that there are indeed people making millions using social media!

They usually start from zero. In other words, no web site, no products, no clients. What they have is a simple (it’s always simple) idea that they begin to share with others.

If the idea is fun, entertaining, and worth sharing, their social network begins to grow and soon builds its own momentum. Read more…

Consider this message your personal invitation for you to join me and my friend and coach, Suzie Dawson for a powerful teleseminar where we’ll help you get back in control of your life now!

Expect a high-energy presentation that will expose the 3 major blocks to success and give you ways to break through them fast!

If you look around, or watch the news, or read a newspaper, or talk to a friend, it’s very likely that the conversation is going to turn to politics, the economy, and how much
harder it’s going to be to live in this country in years to come.

Honestly, nothing I’ve read about or seen out there is all that positive.

Yet, you and I both know that letting all of this get you down is NOT the way to live life on your terms.

In fact, the more fear you have about your future, the less powerful you feel and the less action you’ll take towards getting what you want out of life. Read more…

It’s Easter for many people this coming weekend and this is a celebration of birth and renewal. As spring starts to take hold, the weather improves, giving way to something we like
to call “Spring Fever.”

It’s that urge to get out of the house, to meet people, and do things outdoors. It’s a time when plants and animals alike come back to life.
