Discovering Intentions to Improve your Personal Life

 Good intentions are the ultimate choice of improving your life. If you have bad intentions, it is a sign you are filled with greed, envy, hate and so on. You want all these negative influences out of your life. Intentions are powerful. Intentions tell others where our goals are heading. It is our purpose. Intentions are our motive that helps us to achieve our objectives.

Have a “Pitch Party”

Invite friends and work together to haul out all the old stuff in your life that no longer works with your new direction. For example, if you have lost a substantial amount of weight, drag out all those too-big clothes, the ugly sweats you slouched around the house in and anything else that belongs with the “old you” (diet magazines, weigh-in charts, etc). If your goal is more esoteric or offers less tangible reminders of the changes, such as completing a training course or becoming a mother, buy a stack of brightly colored index cards and use markers to write down, one item per card, whatever in your life is getting “tossed out”, such as a low paying job because you weren’t certified, or pining over pictures of happy families in magazines because you didn’t have a baby.

Make a Game Out Of Reaching Your Goals

Go to a yard sale and pick up a cheap board game, if you don’t have any “throw away” games at home. Sit down and brainstorm a way to transform the game into goal-completion fun. Use contact paper to cover the old instructions or commands, and write in new ones with a permanent marker. Use stickers, arts and craft supplies, etc., to dress up the game to fit your needs. Then set the game up somewhere out of the way to play on an on-going fashion until you reach your goal.

Success, Opportunity, Carl, and Kenny G

A couple of weeks ago I celebrated my anniversary by taking my wife to see one of her favorite musicians - Kenny G.

Now, I have to be honest, I was dreading the event. It was a surprise and I was doing this solely as a gift to my lovely wife. I was willing to suffer and endure anything to make her happy! Okay, so I’m laying it on a little thick here, but suffice it to say, I was thinking about what it would be like to listen to two and a half hours of saxophone! I mean I was seriously considering smuggling in a radio and an earpiece so I could listen to the radio (of course I would have placed the earpiece on the side away from my wife)!

Once you’ve made it…throw a Success Shindig!

Of course you should celebrate your wins, but why do it in the time-honored (and boooooring) ways? Throw yourself a theme party, invite all your friends, coworkers, family - whomever you think should share in the fun - and let the good times roll. Ideas include:

Throw a rock-climbing party at the local indoor climbing wall to celebrate your successful “climb to the top”!

Host a “coming out” masquerade party. Invitees wear their brightest and most beautiful outfits, but hide them under dull and drab wraps until the appointed hour, at which point everyone “comes out” to join you in your brighter, more beautiful life like a room full of butterflies metamorphosing.

Search Engine Optimization

When your website is ranked well in the most popular search engines, you get more visitors clicking on your site.  The more visitors you get the more business you get.  Did you know that about 20 percent to 80 percent of your visitors will find your web site through the search engines.  Studies show that most people do not look past the fourth page of results.  There was a time when you could use free submission services that would submit your website to search engines and directories.  At one time, that would actually get you ranked OK.  Nowadays, that won’t do anything for you.  You want to get ranked at LEAST on the first page of Google and Yahoo.  The better option would be to get ranked in the top 3 listings of both Google and Yahoo.  This isn’t easy.

Managing Cash Flow For Entrepreneur

HOW TO MANAGE HOME-BUSINESS CASH FLOW EFFECTIVELY

There’s something you can never afford to forget when you are running a

business out of your home –  cash is king!

Whether it is a multi-billion dollar empire, such as Bill Gates’ Microsoft,

or the tiny mom-and-pop convenience store on the street corner, cash is the

life blood of the business.

In today’s uncertain economy with ever rising interest rates, many small

businesses with limited financial training are having problems staying

alive, let alone prospering.  In fact, 63% of new businesses don’t survive

Reach Your Goal - Visualize Success

Visualize success, and what you’ll do to reward yourself

A goal envisioned is a goal half completed.  Most people find it difficult if not impossible to expend large amounts of energy on something that they can’t “see” as existing in their reality.  Creating that vision before starting out on your journey creates a real destination in your mind, which is infinitely preferable to just wandering off in the general direction of whatever it is you want and hoping you end up somewhere acceptable.  The stronger and more realistically detailed you make your visualizations, the better chance you have of succeeding.  Why leave anything to chance - picture your goal right down to the stitching, as it were, to ensure that your energy is being focused in the right direction and is concentrated on creating the most effective and appropriate result.
