I know we are smack in the middle of the busiest holiday season, but don’t stop.

Working from home is a challenge and when you find yourself being pulled in different directions, do a quick check up.  Don’t put your business on the back burner, but don’t put your family there either.  You need to maintain a balance.

The best way to handle this situation is to put in less work, but make sure that it is focused work!!  Give yourself an hour or two and really apply yourself!!  If you need to get up a little early, it will be well worth it.  Do what needs to be done!

If you do this you will be amazed at your work output and still have plenty of time for your activities!

Remember: Quality Focused Work!

And lastly

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

busy.  It seems the messier the day is, then the busier I get.  Maybe it’s because there is nothing else to do, so I get done everything that I have put off, but busy I am today!

Read on http://nicheologyprofitletter.com/ by Paul Evens…he really has some good, motivating post.  One of his latest focused on the last month of 2009.

Maybe this hasn’t been your year, or maybe it has be a faboulus one for you and your business.  Whichever it is, celebrate what you have accomplished!  And remember, you still have the rest of the month to end with a bang.

He listed some things that you can do, even in the waining hours of 2009, that can help your business.  It’s all common sense, keep doing what’s working for you right up till the end, and then in January 2010~kick it in gear and keep doing it!

Don’t put the brakes on, don’t stop cause it’s the holidays….keep going!  The holidays have really fueled my passion as to why I do what I do.

I love being able to stay at home, love my hours~love it all.  Doing what I do, helping others~it’s a thrill for me.  And if I need to kick it in ~ to make it work, or work better ~ then you better believe I am kicking this thing it!!

I am not going to give up ~ settle for less.  You don’t either!

Now is the very best time to GO FOR IT!

the year ~ It seems everyone has the Top Ten list of the best or worse of 2009 or even the Top Ten of the decade.

For me, even thought the holidays are busy, this is a good time to reflect on my year and the past decade.

10 years ago we were bringing in a new millennium, Y2K was in the news and excitement was in the air. Yet, it seems like yesterday, those 10 years have flashed by…. For most of us, the past 10 years have seen major changes in our lives. Births, deaths, marriages, and divorces….Jobs gained, or recently, jobs lost.

Some things were unavoidable…some things weren’t. Just about the only thing that was the same for us all was that we could choose the attitude in which we handled the situation.  I don’t know about you, but some attitude choices that I made were good….and unfortunately, some weren’t so good.  (Yeah, being real honest here…)

At this point we can look back and get very discouraged about our life’s events and some of our attitudes with them. Or we can chose to be thankful for all the learning experiences that we have had, yes ~  learn from them, apply them, and walk on.  This point of view  isn’t an easy one for me…. I have a hard time being thankful for the loved ones that have past on, or for the added stress of lost wages.  But, when I take the time to get past the hurt, then I see that there are always lessons to be learned.

Don’t focus on the past ~ bring your attention to the present….what you can be doing today to change your future.  We sometimes get lost either in the past or the future, bring your attention to today!  And do take the time to make a plan, have a goal, get your focus narrowed to the prize.

Take time to enjoy your life, because it goes by fast ~

shay

doing what you haven’t done for change.

It takes doing what others won’t for change.

It takes not doing somethings that you have always done for change.

It takes commitment, courage, and a burning desire for change to have change.

Begin today!

Organization is not my strong suit….unfortunately. And I do realize that I am not supposed to store all of my log in information where it is easily found. But….I put my log in information where I couldn’t even find it! So, what good does security do for me when it keeps me locked out????

I should be laughing here, or finding some humor ~ but I am tired, can not find log in names and passwords… things need to be done and I am stressing.

Breathe in….Breathe out. This to shall pass and I will find a way to get the job done.

If you ever think that you are the only one that has “one of those” days…don’t fear ~ you are not. When you find yourself right smack in the middle of one, just ~

Breathe in….Breathe out.

Figure out what you may have done better and then do it! Learn and move on. My task is to find better ways to store my log in and password information that I can assess when needed!

WOW! Productive day…I have figured out what doesn’t work and now am making changes. Life is good!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On a personal note…..need to check on log in storage software!!!!!

I was sitting in church yesterday morning and our pastor was teaching on Grace….great subject as usual.  He said something that really stuck with me.  Reconcile with the past, then forget it.

Now, we aren’t taking about all the good things that have happened in our lives.  We are talking about our mistakes, things or situations that would have been better had we chosen differently.  We all have them ~ and I am not going to repeat the sermon ver batium…….

What I am going to ask you do to is forget…..forget that bad business decision you made.  Move on.  Don’t do it again. And move on.  There are things that we allow to repeat, like a bad movie, over and over in our heads.  It does no good to dwell on the bad things of the past.  If there is a lesson to learn, then ~ please ~ learn it, apply it, and do better next time.

Stinking Thinking is what some call it.   Whatever you chose to label it, you need to deal with it.  Create an atmosphere of good thought to produce good actions and then, of course, great results will follow.

Forget yesterday, live in today, and plan for tomorrow!!

……… as stated by Wikipedia is the activation or energization of goal-oriented behavior. Motivation may be internal or external.

Having goals is a no-brainer….yet many people fail to act once they have their goals in place. Then they spend time actually pondering why they never obtain their goals.

It’s simple

• Goals —>
• Action —>
  
• Results!!!!

So, if you want results….get moving!!!  Create momentum, no one else will….Only you!  It ain’t going to be easy, but then, nothing great ever is!
