In a recent seminar a man raised his hand and asked why he had not reached a higher level of financial success, after all of the long hours, countless phone calls, and numerous networking events he went to weekly? " I bulldog my way through every week, and have been on this intense schedule for several years, but still find myself in the same income level! What do I need to do now?"
The answer I give to each client is the same...... the path to success is often found by doing the exact opposite in some ways than what we are doing right now.
In other words, surrender your "bulldog mentality", and replace it with confidence and a joyful approach to your work.
To the wife or husband who has been working hard to change their partner into a more positive thinker, surrender your approach. Just sit and be with them, regardless how challenging at first this might be.
To the person struggling with alcohol or nicotine, surrender the fight to stay sober, quit "white knuckling" it, quite forcing yourself every day past the drink, past the cigarette, and surrender to the cravings. Yes, just sit with them.
When we surrender to any situation, we are not giving up, but rather progressing forward, with a new mindset. Twelve step groups have mastered the art of surrender for people who are struggling with food, or any form of addiction, obsession.Find one in your area today.
Keep your positive mindset, set your goals, do the work each day, but with an attitude of acceptance to what is, surrender to what is........and watch your world, your income, your body, your life change for the better.
Slow down.

Your mind, Your success machine...
Did you know that the only thing that separates you...from living the wildly successful life you desire, is your mind? Your mind is your success machine.
As I assist individuals from all walks of life to create a new reality, their own dreams as their reality, some will fly forward and see amazing results in just a few months. While others will fall off path, and recreate the drama and struggle they've wanted to leave behind.
So, what is the difference between these people? The way they use their minds.
Here's a powerful example.
Two clients last year were going through both bankruptcy and foreclosures.
One had worked diligently on the power of transformational thinking, a tool I use in my work that eliminates the stories we tell ourselves that hold us back. The second person wanted to believe that this tool would work for them, but would not do the daily mental and written exercises recommended.
In both of these cases, one of their "stories" was that only "losers" go bankrupt, and only "losers" foreclose on their homes.
The reality is quite the opposite in most cases, as brilliant , amazing people go bankrupt every year.
The first person recovered emotionally almost overnight from the bankruptcy, and in 3 months was back to their positive, powerful self...knowing that success was once again right around the corner.
The second individual is still struggling with low self esteem and a diminished energy level. A pure shame because they are such a great person!!
Your mind, if fed daily with the right material, and if this coincides with a powerful writing program with time lined action steps, is truly your personal success machine.
Slow down.

Radio Interview: Deepak Chopra
Whenever I interviewed best selling author Deepak Chopra, I knew 2 things would always happen: 1) That he would blow my mind with at least one new concept, or a new way of looking at life.. and 2) That he would be able to offer real life solutions to whatever the topic of the day was.
Deepak is one of the most fascinating men I have ever had the chance to talk with. Born in India, originally working in conventional medicine in a hospital in Boston, he eventually found his path lead him back to the many holistic healing methods that originated in his native country.
From explaining quantum physics to creating a deeper connection to God to the benefits of auryvedic medicine, Deepak opened my mind to new paths that I am still following today.
He reminds me of people like Michael Jordan, someone who gets into "the flow" of their life purpose and continues to grow, stretch, and lead their profession...opening the doors so that others can explore their full potential as well.
Slow down.

New Years Resolution ...Solution
Year after year, I've heard the same desires being stated by both men and women from around the USA. "How can I finally find a solution to my New Years Resolutions?"
It seems a common theme. We have a tendency to repeat every year the same resolutions, maybe with a slightly different twist, but in essence the same ones.
"I'm going to...lose weight, quit smoking, save more money and enhance my relationships."
One of the biggest problems we face in regards to New Years Resolutions, is that we select more than one.
This year, let's get serious, let's become successful, and let's start by choosing just one goal to go after.
Choose the one you've been procrastinating on, the one that seems to pop up year after year.
The one, that as you read this you do not really want to go after. Yeah, that one.
The one, that once you are on the path to accomplishing, will offer the greatest benefits in your entire life.
The one that will force you to ask someone else to help you with.
Yeah, that one.
Now, in writing, set a path, specific, with a timeline, that you will hold yourself accountable to.
Hire a therapist, coach, trainer, nutritionist, minister...........................find someone with experience to help you.
Go to 12 step meetings, do whatever it is that makes you vulnerable, uncomfortable. Whatever you need to do that scares the hell out of you...just do it.
Make 2009 the year of YOU.
Get enthusiastic every day, force it at first if you must, but get excited. Let your passion sink into your being as you mentally see yourself successful in this goal.
Slow down.
Let's really do it this year.

Dating : Part 2 Looking for Love, The challenge
I had a feeling that the first blog on dating would get a reaction from both men and women who are looking for love, and facing the challenges that go with the territory.
"So, if people do not call when they say they will, do you give them a second chance? is that the same as a physical no-show for coffee or a drink?"
"I feel very frustrated with the number of women who lead you to believe they are interested in dating, then disappear....without a return call, with no answer, after 1 or 2 meetings, they kiss you and tell you how much they loved the date..then poof!! you never get a response! what the hell is that???"
I think you now know the challenges of dating. If you're not in the game, you're probably thinking "Thank God!!" lol......
Let's look at my first response, that no shows of any kind are truly a blessing, that these people were not right for you.
Now, also think of this. Often times our outer world is a reflection of our inner thoughts. So, if you do not trust men, or women, you may be getting this "poor treatment" by others as a reflection of your inner thoughts. You'll have to do some inner work to see what your real beliefs are....do that now, be brutally honest with yourself.
And, make sure that you are not treating others, even subconsciously, as you are being treated.
Make sure your word to EVERYONE is solid, that You do what you say you will at all times.
Last, if how someone treats you does not feel right, let them go. Quickly.
Slow down, love yourself and others.

"Thinking " your way through challenging times
The last few months have been filled with coaching sessions with clients who are facing a variety of challenges.
The loss of a beloved pet.
The loss of employment.
The loss of a relationship.
The loss of a parent.
The loss of a child.
Through all of these challenges a question that has arisen many many times is, "is it possible to think my way through these difficulties?"
The answer is yes, and no.
Yes, we can distract ourselves by thinking of solutions to our challenge, or by finding gratitude for what we DO have that is going well........
But no, this is not the only solution for us to look for.
The other key is to "Feel, deeply feel" the loss that we have recently experienced. Now this is the part of personal growth that a lot of us do not want to look at, for the simple reason that it is hard. It's uncomfortable, which is why it's such a valuable tool to use to help us to heal.
So, when faced with a loss, yes, look for solutions.
Also, go into the fire of the loss and feel the pain, the loneliness, the angst. If you chose, do this with a friend, coach, therapist or minister as well.
There is comfort in numbers.
Slow down to heal.
