Tips to Stay Motivated

Tips To Stay Motivated

Over half the year has now gone by and here it is
September already.

And for many maybe it’s that time of year when you
have a little break in between the summer fun and
getting ready for the holiday fun :)

So why not take the opportunity now to really get
motivated and have a little business fun!

Here are a few tips…

Tip 1 – Maintain A Positive Attitude.

We’re responsible for our own actions and attitudes,
and changing them when appropriate. When you’re
around people and situations that are uplifting and
positive, don’t you feel that way too? Likewise, when
you’re around negative situations it tends to bring you
down. Take a positive approach to your daily
activities, focus on what’s good in your life, and smile
at yourself and others – even if you’re stuck in traffic!

Tip 2 – Put Your Personal Troubles In A Bubble And Let Them Float Away.

Everyone has problems, but focusing on them every
minute of every day only zaps away your energy and
your motivation. Letting them float away if only for a
short time will actually be good for you because you’ll
get a mental break. During this break you can turn
your entire attention and energy on starting and
growing your online business.

Tip 3 – Create Positive Affirmations.

If you see or hear something often enough, you will start
to believe it. Come up with statements that help you feel
good about yourself or ones that help your productivity,
such as “I’m an important and valuable person” or
“I know I’ll make good use of my time today”. After
you’ve written them down, read them aloud to yourself
at least once each day to help reinforce positive actions.

Remember, it only takes a little concentrated effort
on our part to keep motivated and productive, which
helps lead us to success in our life and our business.

Focus Thoughts & Forward Momentum

Have you heard the story of the three frogs sitting
on a log?

One frog decides to jump off … how many are left?

Take a minute now to think again before you answer…

Of course, the answer is ‘three’. Just because the
frog decided to jump doesn’t mean he did does it?

Don’t be afraid to get your feet wet! Remember to
take action this week and don’t let your business
just sit on a log (smile) . . .

To Your Success,
Donna

Who is Really Responsible For Success?

Who is Really Responsible For Success?

This may really surprise you — but
WE are really responsible for our own
success in life and business.

I know, you already knew this and didn’t
really need the answer. I do believe though
there are times when it’s important to
remind ourselves of this.

Just this week I got caught up in a situation
where I felt I didn’t have any control over
the outcome. But then I realized I did have
choices on how to resolve the situation that
made my life less stressful.

We’ve probably all been there a time or two.
Here are a few quotes on taking responsibility
that I’ve found to be inspiring and good
reminders that we really are responsible for
our own success…

“Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you
who will get you where you want to go, no one else.”
- Les Brown

“You are responsible for your life. You can’t keep
blaming somebody else for your dysfunction. Life is
really about moving on.”
- Oprah Winfrey

“All you have to decide is what to do with the time
that is given to you.”
- J. R. R. Tolkien

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Focus Thoughts & Forward Momentum

“The act of taking the first step is what separates the
winners from the losers.”
- Brian Tracy

What’s the most important step you can take this week?

To Your Continued Success,
