Tony Scelzo Competing for Mediocrity

There is less competition going for the top than those shooting for mediocrity. The first time I heard this, I thought it was BS. Then I started looking around at the people that really go for the top and there aren’t many. I have found most people target mediocrity so that’s exactly what they get.… Continue

Patric Welch I lose weight or you gain money

Two months ago, I wrote here on my blog that it was time to lose weight or lose money. I talked about a web site called Stickk.com and how it can be used to put your money where your mouth is when it comes to goals and commitments. As some of you may remember, I committed to losing 13 pounds in 9 weeks. For each of the 9 weeks, I had to weigh in and compare my weight against my goal weight for that week. If I missed my goal, my credit card would automatically be charged $10 (an amount of my cho… Continue

Paul Lushin Progress not Perfection

Goals……to me it feels like a word that is often misused (especially in sales). “My goal is to increase my sales this year” or “my goal is to start making cold calls” or “My goal is to stop accepting think-it-overs.” When you look at the goals you have relative to your sales world do you have the following key components: * Are they written down? * Have you told people about them? * Do you have time frames for when you want to achieve them? * Are they measurable and quantifiable? Many of us thi… Continue

Patric Welch This time around, it's lose weight or lose money

I've struggled a lot over the past couple of years to lose some weight. I haven't always been this way. In fact, when my first child was born nearly 8 years ago, I weighed about 30 pounds less than I do now. I know, I keep thinking the same thing. What happened? I could write all kinds of excuses here but that's not what this blog post is about. This blog post is about finally putting my money where my mouth is. Literally. This time I'm "stickking" to it Enter the web site, Stickk, wh… Continue

Lori Lowe Prospects Strong for those Wishing to Marry Later

Two decades ago, Newsweek magazine joked that a 40-year-old single woman was “more likely to be killed by a terrorist” than ever marry. Though the comment was made in jest, it stuck and was often cited. However, even the not-joking marriage probability rating they offered for a 35-year-old woman was only 5 percent. The story induced quite a lot anxiety, which, it turns out, wasn’t warranted. Read current marriage stats and trends at Life Gems. Continue

Brooke Randolph Are You Closer to Your Goal Than You Think?

Solution-focused therapy encourages forward progression in several ways, one of which is to look for past successes (and exceptions to the problem) and build off of those. In goal setting and achievement I encourage my clients to consider the smallest change they can make immediately, as well as the very first, smallest si… Continue

Lori Lowe The Key to Time Management is Accountability

I have always used planners and to-do lists, I arrive promptly for meetings and I don’t miss deadlines for clients. However, with some of my personal projects, I was having difficulty making time to make them a reality. I’ve recently changed that, and I wanted to share a useful strategy. If your boss tells you that a report is needed tomorrow that will affect your job performance, you make time to complete it. If your child is standing nearby asking repeatedly for a snack, you will eventually g… Continue

Susan Baroncini-Moe "You Can Do Anything You Put Your Mind To"

"You can do anything you put your mind to." That's what my mom said to me when I was growing up. When I developed carpal tunnel syndrome in both arms and had to make the choice between surgery and career change and I was afraid of the latter, my mom said, "Susan, you can do anything you put your mind to." Years later, I look back on that wisdom of my mom and I realize that it's useful on so many levels. I'm not sure she was aware of how profound her comments were, any more that I think she cons… Continue

What a fantastic year I've experienced. So much learning ,and growth. I'm extremely proud to have made it though my first year of business ALIVE and somewhat sane!! I've hit a lot of pivotal moments this last year. in Jan. 08' I joined Rainmakers, and I had no idea how big of an impact that decision would make on me personally and professionally.

Larry Kevin Adams Taking Inspired Action - Receiving and Responding to Inspiration

I’m excited about 2009! I have written down my goals and spent some time on my business model. I have developed a crystal clear vision of what I want December 2009 to look like, and it’s fantastic! But as I was going through the process I was reminded of what accelerates my business the most – Taking Inspired Action. All the New Year’s resolutions, goals, promises, plans and visions will never take us closer to our dreams unless we take ACTION. Inspired Action is based upon those “Ah ha” moment… Continue

Lynn Zettler DON'T GO THERE---Coaches play of the day

I recently met with a client who wanted to set and map out some long term goals. I showed him a tool I have used in the past which is pretty easy to design for yourself. Others have found it very useful, so I thought I would share. You might find it useful with New Years and resolutions right around the corner. Use a simple table like the one below and set aside some time to really focus and contemplate the different elements in your life (You can choose what these are, or just choose one if yo… Continue
