Message From The President |
|
|
|
 |
OK, it's sizzling here in the desert
now.
But even with the brush fire that's been
burning a few miles from my house and
I'm still HAPPY I don't have to deal
with the icy, blizzard-y snow of the
Midwest winters.
The photo above is of me receiving the
President's Choice Award from Choo Tay,
Media88,
Immediate Past President of
NAWBO
Phoenix and
Katie Raml, Emmy award-winning
journalist and anchor of ABC15.
I've recently been voted in as
President-Elect for the Phoenix chapter,
an honor I am deeply humbled by and, at
the same time, wildly excited about. |

Or is your life largely determined by
outside forces?
Are you overwhelmed by too many things
not of your choosing?
I've had several conversations lately
with entrepreneurs and corporate
professionals about the challenges of
staying true to their dreams or dealing
with the circumstances and apparent
demands placed on them by outside
situations and people.
There are fears buried inside of us that
keep us playing small, being busy but
not making significant strides toward
that which matters most to us. |
 |
In truth, we procrastinate, hold back and then
blame (even subtly) other people for why we
haven't accomplished all that we had hoped.
Instead, like our forefathers, I suggest we
'fight for our rights'. |
|
If you find yourself making excuses for why your
dreams have not yet happened, try this:
1. Write down your dream in a vividly
descriptive narrative. Express what
you would see, feel and hear once that dream is
realized.
2. Write down WHY that dream is important to
you. Get back in touch with what it
would allow you to do.
3. Make a list of requests you could
make of the people around you. You
might want them to start or stop doing something
in particular. As my friend and colleague,
Rayona
Sharpnack, is fond of saying, "We must
give up the right to be resentful about anything
for which we have not made a request".
4. Identify one small step you can take
toward making your dream a reality. We're
often overwhelmed by the enormity of our dreams
and keep our dreams on a shelf.
5. Take that step within the next 3 days!
Quit waiting for everything to line up, for
someone to give you permission. ACT NOW!
GET STARTED! STOP WAITING!
6.

me an email and let me know what
happened when you got off your butt:-) |

SYNDICATED
ARTICLE - 4 Powerful
Ways To Fire Up Your Motivation
|
|
|
by: Don Weyant
reprinted with permission
At times we all find it so difficult to go on when
everything seems to fail, isn't it? Are there times
in your life when you really want to call it "quits"
because you just can't see any good results from all
the hard work you've done?
So what are we to do at times like these? How do we
cope?
Never ever think of giving up. Winners never quit
and quitters never win as the old saying goes. Take
all negative words out of your mental dictionary and
be aware of what you are saying at all times, focus
on the solutions with utmost conviction and
patience.
The battle is never lost until you've abandon your
vision.
But what if you're really exhausted physically,
mentally, and most of all emotionally? Here are some
sources of motivation to prompt and assist you in
reaching the peak of accomplishment.
1) The Overwhelming Feeling of Attaining your
Desired End
How would you feel after accomplishing your mission?
Of course you will feel ecstatic. You might be
shedding tears of joy. Let this tremendous feeling
sink in and encourage you to persist despite all
odds.
