| 1 | VideoAre You a Procrastinator? Stop it! | There’s nothing wrong with taking a break, but you know procrastination when you see it. Here’s how to recognize the signs of procrastination and stop the cycle of excuses and delays so you can achieve more success in life and in business. If you have ever been a leader, manager, or business owner with employees, you’ve experienced what it’s like delegating an important task under deadline. From experience, you’ve probably learned who you can trust to complete the task well, and on time, when others fall short. Have you ever delegated a time-sensitive task to an employee only to find them making excuses, waiting until the last minute, or wasting time when they should be working on your project? It probably got you fired up. So here’s a question for you: If you don’t tolerate procrastination from others, why would you ever tolerate procrastination from yourself?

The Art of Delegation for Business Owners | Today we are going to talk about The Art of Delegation for Business Owners. Delegation for business owners is a must-do for success! When you can hand over your administrative tasks and projects off to an able assistant or employee, you can focus on more important tasks that only you can do to grow your business and increase revenue. The art of delegation is an essential part of establishing a growing business. Delegation allows you to eliminate the low-priority tasks so you can free up time to focus on the high-payoff producing tasks. Clearly, this can allow you to focus on increasing your revenue, and it can also free up time to center your energy towards expanding your business. When your business continues to grow, eventually reaching another plateau, you may find it necessary to hire more assistants or outsource more tasks. Implementing the art of delegation to your current business model can lead to an increase in business and an immense decrease in stress for you. Delegation for business owners is the single most efficient way to run your business without having to spread yourself thin. You don2019t need to hire an army worth of employees or contractors, just delegate the tasks that are hindering you from increasing your revenue! Do what you do best and let someone else do the rest.

| 3 | VideoPersistence: The Commonality of Champions | If you look upon history, you’ll find that the notable quality that exists in all champions is persistence. The path you walk will not always be easy, but you have to continue to persist. Even in the face of seemingly overwhelming odds, you must keep putting one foot in front of the other, because there are lessons to be learned along the way, all of which will support your success. Whenever you confront an obstacle or roadblock, step back and emotionally detach yourself from the situation. It’s much easier to think of ways to go around, under or over the obstacle when you let go of the frustration. This may take some practice, but try this exercise: imagine a friend is the one facing the challenge(s), and you are simply providing ideas how to help them overcome the obstacle. When you are solution-oriented, you focus on the possibilities, not the impossibilities. In truth, nothing is impossible, and change is inevitable. Knowing this, you can take persistent steps in faith, with the wisdom that nothing stays the same, and at some time in the future your current obstacles will dissolve.

| 5 | VideoHow badly do you want to achieve your goals and dreams? | How badly do you want to achieve your goals and dreams? The only thing that separates you from your future and your current reality is choice. Do you choose the life you currently have, or do you choose the life you want to have? The choice is yours. Your dreams are real and your goals are possible. Commit to them and they will become a reality. Start this moment by deciding what it is you really want in your life. Write it on a piece of paper (remember to include exact dates of when you want to achieve your goals by – that is month, day and year) and know it is possible, if you really want it. Begin making only those choices that support your goals and take action! Nothing will come of nothing - you must take action to get from where you are to where you want to be. Keep in mind that what got you to where you are today probably isn’t going to get you to where you want to be so you will probably have to make new and different choices going forward.

4 Tips for Building Self Esteem for Business Success | Today we are going to talk about 4 Tips for Building Self Esteem for Business Success. If you’ve struggled with self-esteem throughout your life, it may be a bit challenging to start creating confidence now in your business, but I assure you, even you can build self-esteem and succeed in your endeavors! Let’s talk about 4 Tips for Building Self Esteem for Business Success. You can improve self-esteem in business by maintaining a professional appearance, working on the way you present yourself and gaining experience. Chances are, you may feel a little nervous each time you make a sales pitch or meet a potential client in person for the first time. The important thing to remember is not to let the nervousness stop you. Just for the moment, forget about the sale and focus on your talent. When you can remember that you can do it, and probably do it well, the anxiety of “making the sale” will not even be in your mind. With time and experience, your confidence and self-esteem will continue to grow until speaking with clients feels as natural as a conversation with a friend. The sooner you can embrace your confidence, the sooner your self-esteem will carry you to business success. My hope for our time together is that you got value and an idea or two that will help you be even more successful – personally and professionally.

| 7 | VideoStep outside your Comfort Zone and Achieve your Goals | Fear is Not an Excuse! Fear is never an excuse for not taking action. You are exactly where you are right now because you have been too fearful to step outside your comfort zone. To get to where you want to be - you have to feel the fear and do it anyway. After you take action, you will wonder what you were so afraid of in the first place. The fear is only temporary, while the benefits of taking action last forever. So step outside your comfort zone and start taking action on those things you were afraid to do in the past. The time is now and you are looking forward into your future. Don’t let fear be your excuse any longer. Welcome it and achieve your goals sooner.

| 8 | VideoDo You Truly Want to Achieve Your Goals Badly Enough? | What’s the difference between someone who achieves their goals and someone who just dreams about them? The starting point is always their level of desire, and how bad they want it. Try to remember a time when you heard how someone defied all the odds and achieved something that seemed impossible. You might have been stunned by their sheer determination to achieve their goal. What gave them their determination? They wanted it bad enough. Their desire led to a choice which set their desire into motion. They learned to make only those choices that supported their goals. And if they can do it, you can too. Achieving your goals doesn’t have anything to do with where you’ve been; you can always get to where you want to be - if you want it bad enough. Try this exercise. Think about something you really want. Maybe you want a better job, more money, or to be more fit. Whatever it is, make sure it’s something you really want. Close your eyes for a moment and imagine how you would feel already having achieved it. Feels great, doesn’t it? You have to want your dream life bad enough to make a choice. That choice is to live a life that makes you feel great.

Is your Business Really Focused on Client Satisfaction? | Today we are going to talk about Is your Business Really Focused on Client Satisfaction? Is your Business Really Client-Centered? There are many factors that go into building a successful business. However, one of the most important, yet one of the most ignored, is focusing on creating client satisfaction. Create a client-centered business and you’ll ensure that your business gets only rave reviews, while setting it up for success. Are your clients’ interests at the core of your business? If not, your business will remain at a standstill for years to come. Many business owners have the perception that they run a client-centered business, but in reality, they have gotten into a bad habit of putting their own personal interests in front of their clients’. Yes, it is true that you should have a personal interest and passion for your business, but your interest is not what drives sales. Meeting your clients’ needs and delivering stellar client service is what drives sales and generates revenue. Smart business owners know that running a client-centered business is necessary in order to stay ahead of the competition. After all, when you focus your efforts on client satisfaction, your clients will become your biggest free marketing tool. Not only will they become lifetime clients, but they will also refer you to friends, family members, and colleagues any chance they get. Word of mouth, any successful business owner will tell you, is the most powerful marketing tool available. If you’re focused on client satisfaction, then all of your clients will likely become lifetime clients and become a free source of marketing when they refer their friends, family, coworkers, and everyone they know to you. Continue to be open to making changes that can enhance being client-centered and you will improve the opportunity to be successful. When you run a client centered business, you will run a business set up for success.

How to Get Things Done with a Master Task List | Today we are going to talk about How to Get Things Done with a Master Task List. Focusing on many responsibilities is a vital part of successfully running your business successfully. But how do you know which tasks need to be completed immediately and which tasks can wait? You have so many things you need to do that it can be very overwhelming. If you focus on the less important tasks, while the most important go unnoticed or forgotten about, you could be sabotaging your overall success. Fortunately, you can get a grip on your essential tasks by learning how to get things done with a master task list. We will discuss some valuable insight on how to use a master task list to increase your success. What is a Master Task List? How do you use a Master Task List Understanding how to use a master task list can only be done by truly understanding why you need to create one. A master task list has one purpose: to help you complete the key tasks vital to running your business at its optimal efficiency and effectiveness. The goal is to accomplish the tasks on your list as soon as you can, so you can clear your head of the distractions. To aid in that, place the tasks from your master task list into a calendar where you can map out time limits for each task. Remember to delegate the unimportant or low-priority tasks to an assistant or employee. You, as the business owner, should only be focusing on the most vital tasks that are best suited to be handled by you. Everything else is trivial, temporary, or low-priority, and can likely be delegated to an assistant.

| 12 | VideoFocus on what you can control | Are you the driver or passenger in your life? Don’t think for a second that sitting in the passenger seat is going to get you where you want to be. If you want to be successful, you have to make plans, take action and commit to achieving your goals. Surrendering the wheel to the “luck of life” will not give you peace of mind, but it will mean you’re in for a rough ride. When you give up control, you are at the mercy of whatever life throws at you, and you will most likely get everything you do not want. Success only comes from those who drive their own life. Don’t just take things for granted. Create a game plan and focus on what you can control. YOU and your actions! Consider the results if you do or don’t take action.

Think Big and Grow Your Business | Today we are going to talk about Think Big and Grow Your Business. Contrary to common belief, most successful entrepreneurs aren’t born into money or possess above average IQ’s. Most of them are self-made and many of them do not even have college degrees. It doesn’t take genius to become successful; it only takes the proper mindset, desire, and commitment. How do you gain the proper mindset? By learning to think outside of the box. If you quit tending to your business, would it run on its own? The likely (and logical) answer is no. If your business cannot run without you - you’ve got to start thinking outside the box! One of the quickest ways to grow your business is to gain leverage. You do that by creating a business that does not solely rely on you. Frankly, building passive income isn’t as difficult as many people make it out to be. It comes down to being able to think outside the box and expand your mindset to accommodate a successful reality. The goal is to create a source of residual recurring income in the least time investment possible. Another key to growing your business is to delegate the time-consuming, non-income driving tasks to someone else.

Guest, Mark Little, talks about his weight loss success | We are honored today to have a very special guest. Our guest today built a multi-million dollar financial advisory firm. However, at one point in his career, he was ready to leave the business world; not because he wasn't financially successful but because he was overweight, unhealthy & unhappy. Beginning in 2004, he went through an inspiring journey losing 140 pounds of excess weight and now competes in triathlons. After mentoring 12 friends to lose a combined 321 pounds of excess weight in less than a year, he wrote the book The Fitness Race, which was published in April 2008. The Fitness Race will inspire those who struggle with their weight and give them a plan and path to get as light and fit as they choose. Welcome and thanks for joining us today Mark Little. Anne: Mark, please share a brief history with our listeners today as to what actually helped you decide that being 313 pounds was no longer acceptable and you were going to do something about getting lighter and fitter. Please also include a before and after snapshot. Anne: There are so many overweight people these days, why do you feel so many people struggle with getting lighter, fitter & healthier?

Effective Time Management and Calendaring | Today we are going to talk about Effective Time Management and Calendaring. One of the success principles of any successful person is effectively calendaring and time management. In order to create your ideal life, you must learn to schedule EVERYTHING and be extremely effective at time management. What are the highest payoff activities you can do to achieve your goals in the timeframe you have set? You may want to make sure you spend more of your time on these activities versus other lower payoff activities. Work on those activities that produce the results you want and not the ones that might be easier to do or more fun or don’t cause you to go outside your comfort zone. The important part of calendaring is first to put all your activities on the calendar and then HONOR the calendar. For some, this is the hardest part to do. They let too many distractions or other things get in their way of honoring their calendar. Start making a list of activities you would like to put on your calendar for the next week or few weeks. Put them on your calendar and then honor thy calendar. What do you want to accomplish? After you have made your list, determine how much time each task will take, and then put each activity on your calendar. Now look at your schedule. How does it feel to put all your activities down on a calendar and see where you spend your time? Remember, creating your ideal life is all about creating balance. I can’t stress enough the importance of calendaring and then honoring your calendar. You will find yourself more in control of your life and you will be even more efficient. You becoming very effective at time management will have a positive impact on your life – personally and professionally. You might be amazed at how much more productive you will be when you apply effective time management in your life. Create your reality! You can do it!

Denis Collier’s 5 step process: The “A.E.I.O.U. Technique” | Some of you listeners today may know, but not all might, one of the important tools I use as an accountability coach with the people I work with is the Wheel of Life. The Wheel of Life I use, because not all are the same, has 8 areas that we regularly focus on. One of those areas is health and fitness. Most of the people I work with and many of the people I talk to, at one point in life have tried to lose weight or thought about losing a few pounds so they could be fitter and healthier and ultimately feel better and maybe even live longer. If you have tried to lose weight or thought about it, you are certainly in the majority of North Americans. If you would like to improve your health and fitness and maybe even lose a few pounds in the process – this interview is for you. We are very honored today to have an expert with us to talk about health and fitness. Denis Collier is a Registered Dietitian, a Certified Exercise Physiologist and has a Masters degree in Kinesiology. The company he founded specializes in helping individuals reach their most valuable goals by integrating nutrition with a physically active lifestyle. Welcome and thanks for joining us today Denis. Anne: So Denis, some of the people on the call today, including myself, have tried repeatedly to lose weight and had little to no success. Some have probably thought about losing weight but maybe don’t have a plan or know the best way to approach being healthier and fitter. Maybe some people on the call today have tried enough times to lose weight but have settled for the “I’m going to be heavy forever” mentality so they think, “why bother…” Denis what are we going to learn from you today that can help us? Anne: Don’t keep us waiting – tell us about these 5 steps!

10 Principles to Eliminate Distractions and Increase Success | Today we are going to talk about 10 Principles to Eliminate Distractions and Increase Success. Through my years of coaching people, I have found that we're all guilty of allowing the little things to distract us from what we should be doing. This happens to all of us to some degree or another. Your income depends solely on you. And the more efficiently you can work the bigger returns you will receive. Take a moment and ask yourself where you truly want to be? Now tell me how many things you did today, yesterday, and the day before yesterday that directly contributed to the future results you want. And then tell me how many things you did today that did not contribute to your success. Those things probably distracted you from what you knew you should have been doing. Minimize distractions and you'll reach your goals faster - plain and simple. Apply these ten principles to help you reduce and eliminate distractions from your life. Generally speaking, it's easier to become distracted when you're self-employed because it removes the accountability factor. When you don't have a manager looking over your shoulder, it's tempting to mess around with distractions. Remind yourself that those little distractions offer little return, if any at all, for the time you've invested. Instead, stick to the productive tasks that build your success. Eliminate distractions and you have an even better chance of acting on your good intentions and achieving amazing results!

Creating your Ideal Client Profile and Replicating Them | Today we are going to talk about Creating Your Ideal Client Profile and replicating them. During the course of my many conversations with coaching clients, I have found that many don’t have an Ideal Client Profile written down. Not only do you need one written down, but you must also be committed to it. Most have an idea in their head or they have a few things written down but not a total list of what they really want. I believe that if you are crystal clear about what you want and you focus on it, you will attract it. Do you believe this? If you aren’t clear about what you really want, how can you communicate this to anyone who might ask you or attract these kinds of people to you. The universe doesn’t know exactly what you are looking for – and neither do you. Let’s talk about the applying the power of replicating only your Ideal Clients. Many people focus on the masses, hoping to find an Ideal Client during the process. When you focus on only attracting Ideal Clients, you still may attract other people who don’t quite fit and you can choose to accept them or not. This might be a more powerful concept to consider applying because most people typically need fewer of the “right” clients than if they aren’t focused and take anyone. Figure out exactly what you want, state it clearly, and allow the “replicators” to work for you. Reap the rewards!

Eliminate The No Longer Acceptables in Your Life | Today we are going to talk about reducing or eliminating the things that are No Longer Acceptable in Your Life. Many of us say we’re going to make changes to eliminate the things we don‘t like about our life, but few of us actually commit to improving the quality of our life. We stay in a job we don’t like and in a relationship that does not serve us, and blame our circumstances on the “hand” we’ve been dealt in life. If you have ever felt like this - it’s time to get a dose of reality. Give up the excuses because they are just plain cop-outs. Creating the life you want simply begins with a choice - you choose to eliminate the “no longer acceptables” in your life. Changing your life circumstances is that easy. You choose your desired reality instead of your current reality, and commit to doing whatever it takes in order to create it. Let’s discuss some practical steps you can take to start eliminating the “no longer acceptables” from your life: Eliminating the ‘no longer acceptables’ in your life is incredibly freeing and liberating. Once you create the life you want, you'll wonder how you used to even live the way you did. Choose to let go of those things that are holding you back from achieving true success and make a list of the “no longer acceptables” and start eliminating them one at a time. Once you begin, you'll find it easier to continue because you will finally feel free to create the life you truly want. You deserve so much more than you currently have, but it’s up to you to do something about it. You can’t make improvements until you eliminate the “no longer acceptables” from your life. And you can’t improve your quality of life until you demand it.

Reducing or Eliminating Time Wasters | Today we are going to talk about the impact of time wasters in our life. In the ever increasing rat race that we run to impress our boss and maintain job security (or turn business profits so we can pay ourselves), all the while making time for our family; we find ourselves suffering from sheer exhaustion trying to create more hours in the day so we can get everything done we need to do. The bottom line is that anyone who has a demanding career or runs their own business has to practice excellent time management, effective delegation and learning to say the word, “No.” It’s just not possible to maintain the simple life while achieving a high level of success and with today’s technology; it’s harder to hide when you need a break. As good as you think you may be with your time management; there are probably “time-wasters” that can be eliminated from your daily life. It’s impossible to create more hours in the day and it’s simply not healthy to run at full tilt constantly. Learn how to eliminate the time-wasters in your life to improve your quality of life and success. Stop trying to make something “perfect” right now when it is effective the way it is. It may never be “perfect.” Time-wasters do nothing but impede or delay the ideal life you are committed to creating. The good news is they are simple to eliminate. They simply become something you used to do when you were okay with staying where you were. The difference now is that you are ready to move on and create your ideal life – and letting them go is a snap. What are some of your time wasters that prevent you from going from good to great? What actions will you take now to stop doing things with your time that are not moving you toward your goals and dreams?

Accountability for Goal Setting and Reducing Procrastination | Today we are going to talk about how most of us just don’t have enough accountability in our life to be as successful as we desire. We are trained from birth to believe that if we want something badly enough, we will find a way to make that something a reality. For most people this is not the case. All the enthusiasm, gusto, and zeal in the world cannot guarantee results. Even the best of intentions will not magically move us forward. Following through is the key component of goal achievement. When you stop procrastinating and follow through on your good intentions, you turn your intentions into tangible results. Even things that we believe are really important to us can fall victim to procrastination. The biggest problem most people face when trying to achieve their goals is lack of accountability. If you are only reporting to yourself, procrastination becomes easy. “I’ll start tomorrow,” or “I’ll make this my New Year’s Eve resolution,” or “I’ll eat this cheesecake now and start my diet tomorrow,” is most people’s mantra. Unfortunately, tomorrow becomes next week, next week becomes next month, and eventually next month becomes never. People think they know what they want, but believe that they don’t have the will power or determination to actually take steps toward their goals. We are all human. We all need help and support. Nobody succeeds alone. The best excuses in the world are still just excuses – and excuses are just another obstacle on your journey to achieving your goals. My personal motto is “excuses don’t count unless you’re dead.” This may sound harsh, but my rationale is that this attitude is in the client’s best interest. If the client says that they want to do something and commits to taking the steps necessary to make it happen, then they need to do it. No ifs, ands, or buts. How would having someone in your life who doesn’t buy into your excuses accelerate the achievement of your goals? As my husband Bill says, “Failing with an excuse, even a really good excuse, is not as good as succeeding.” Go to http://www.accountabilitycoach.com/landing/ and get 3 FREE gifts including a special report on 10 Power Tips for Getting Focused, Organized, and Achieving Your Goals Now.

The cost of procrastination in your life | Today we are going to talk about the cost of procrastination or poor follow through in your life. Poor follow through – consciously deciding to do something, but then not doing it for whatever reason – is a fact of life for many of us. Most people find that the gap between their intentions and their actions is too vast, and fall short of doing what is required to achieve their goals. Think about the promises you’ve made to yourself in the past. Of all the promises and commitments you have made to yourself, how many have you kept? Poor follow through is a fixture of modern life. Incredibly, most of us continue to believe that we will follow through “next time” rather than taking action to make our current goal a reality. Have you ever considered the cost of poor follow through in your life? Think about a goal that you have failed to meet in the past. Was your failure to follow through a by-product of the fact that you were really okay with the way things were to begin with? Or does the poor follow through bother you? Does the knowledge that you didn’t follow through with your goals eat you up inside because you know you aren’t doing what you need to do to get the result you say you want? As long as we continue to expect our “good” intentions to work the way they should instead of facing reality about the probability of following through, we’ll just keep repeating the same mistakes. When we rationalize with ourselves to avoid completing necessary tasks we are only holding ourselves back from getting what we desire. This is why the best performers and athletes have coaches. We are human. It’s okay. Get help! Maybe procrastination is something that should be no longer acceptable in your life. Is procrastination something that affects you to some degree? If so, why do you think we procrastinate?

The Choices we Make and how they Impact our Life | Today we are going to talk about the choices we make and how they impact our lives. You may have heard it said that it is the little things in life that are worth living for. Similarly, the little things in life are what change our lives for the better or worse. The choices we make in life define who we are and what we will eventually become. It is important that people maintain their health with a view to tomorrow, while balancing their desires for the present day. Knowing this should impress upon us the importance of making somewhat informed decisions. There is something to be said about going with your “gut.” Sometimes we just don’t know enough to make a totally informed decision so going with your “gut” might play a role in your choice. In order to be happy in life people must learn to act wisely and to forgive the past. Furthermore, learn to put the past behind you, forgiving yourself for mistakes, indiscretions and even for the conduct of others. Some people never let go of the past and choose to be bitter for the rest of their life. The truth of the matter is that a happy life is all about choices and progress. We make choices to the best of our abilities and then progress forward. The most successful people in life believe that they have a purpose and that they will achieve that purpose, goal by goal. These are the choices you will have to make. You almost always have a choice. Will you make choices in the future differently than you did in the past?

Take Action Now and Achieve Your Goals Sooner | Today we are going to talk about Taking Action Now so you Can Achieve Your Goals Sooner. Wouldn’t it be great if you could have everything you want out of life magically appear with the snap of a finger? Unfortunately as the old adage says, “You can’t get something for nothing.” The secret to achieving your goals boils down to one thing – taking action. There isn’t some magic gene that is only given to a select few at birth – achieving your goals is an inherent ability in all of us. You can achieve absolutely any goal you can imagine, so long as you get moving in the right direction now! One of the benefits of taking action is that your progress is the very thing that bridges the gap between imagining a dream and manifesting it. In other words … Action = Results! At any given moment, you have three choices and we discuss these. If you’re ready to take the next step … if you already feel the fire and know you want more out of your life, then you’re ready to begin. Let’s get to work! We talk about 4 principles that will help you reshape the way you think and prepare you to achieve your goals. Life is not a predetermined set of circumstances. Life is what you make of it. When you commit to achieving your goals, you’ll soon realize how much power you actually possess. Have faith that we were programmed for success and that you are already equipped with all of the tools and resources you need to reach out and grab your dreams. Keep your focus on your goals and know that the benefits of taking action far exceed the investment.

Effective Goal Setting for Even Greater Success | Today we are going to talk about Setting Goals for Success. Without execution, visions will remain just that - visions or dreams. Establishing goals and writing them down in ink sets the wheels in motion to creating your ideal life. For the record, I don’t believe anyone should set the goals for someone else. They might be able to ask questions and help them think but each person should come up with their own goals and timeframes they want to achieve each goal. Goals are personal decisions. There is a school of thought that says every goal a person sets should be an S.M.A.R.T. goal. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Tangible. Note: The “T” can also stand for Timely. I add to this a requirement that goals must have a specific target date for achievement, including a month, day, and year. Another powerful component of goal setting relates to how you will feel once you have attained each of your goals. This adds the emotional element that helps inspire you even more. Picturing how you’ll feel after achieving your goals is like an emotional magnet that pulls you to do what you need to do so you can experience goal achievement. I have to mention that I take issue with the words realistic and attainable. After all, who defines what is possible in the realm of reality? I believe goals should be “stretch goals,” goals that are achievable, and also require that the person stretch their limits. This extra push provides inspiration and motivation. Stretch goals are win-win. Even if you fall short of achieving a stretch goal, you’ve still exceeded your “realistic” goal. This is my belief. The word attainable bothers me for similar reasons. Obviously, you want your goal to be within reach, but that same “stretch” should be added for additional motivation and inspiration. For example, if you set a goal that you think is attainable, add something extra on to that goal for it to be a stretch. Let’s say, based on last year’s revenue, you think you can increase your revenue by 10% this year. What would happen if you set your goal to increase your revenue by 15%, 17%, or 20%? You would probably be even more creative and come up with ways to achieve that “stretch” goal. In theory, working toward your goals is not complicated. Most days, most of the things you do should move you toward your goals. Perfection isn’t a requirement. Rather, consider what would happen if most of what you said and did every day moved you toward your goals. Your goals can be anything you wish – there are no limits. In fact, it is better if you stretch your visions beyond what you believe is possible. The reason is because you are probably capable of so much more than you currently believe. The mind has the ability to be our best friend or our worst enemy. As our best friend, it serves our limitless visionary, but as our worst enemy it serves as our limited perception.

The Quality of Life Enhancer™ Exercise | Today we are going to talk about a great tool called The Quality of Life (QOL) Enhancer Exercise. Almost everyone has lamented, at one time or another, about not having enough time in the day. Have you ever said or thought, “I wish I had more time?”, “If I had more time, I would _____.”, “If there were a few more hours in this day, I could _____.” Most of us, at some time or another, have probably thought or said this to ourselves and heard others say something like this too. The truth is, even if we had five extra hours each day, we would probably still misuse the time and bemoan our inability to finish everything with which we task ourselves. The Quality of Life Enhancer™ Exercise is a powerful tool. The through-provoking and fun exercise is based on two principles: 1. The more we can align our behavior with our core values (what’s important to us), the happier, more satisfied, and fulfilled we’ll be with our lives. 2. The more we delegate the tasks that are less important, the more time we have for what’s more important. So often we make choices about how we’ll spend our time unconsciously, and this unique exercise is designed to help you make conscious choices. Roy Disney once said, “When your values are clear, your decisions are easy.” When your values are clear and you know what you need to do to fulfill them—and you realize there are only a finite number of hours in the day—the decision to delegate what you can is much easier to make. The QOL Enhancer Exercise is a gift you give your clients, prospects and strategic alliances, centers of influence, friends, and associates. It is a gift of focus and clarity, and it can even help you and the people you share this exercise with to visualize things differently in their life. I believe it is one of the most powerful exercises and it is not utilized enough. When we use this tool, we can have a huge impact on your relationships and your life, not to mention when you share it with others. The exercise starts with the question, What is more important in life than money? Another way to you may think of it is: What do you wish you had more time to do? Put that item/activity in the column headed Life Quality (it will be on the left side of the page). For example, it can be things like Being Healthy, Being Spiritual, Having Fun, Time with Family, Charity, etc. The fact is that there are only 168 hours in the week.

The Wheel of Life | Today we are going to talk about The Wheel of Life and how it can help you put into perspective how balanced your life is now, and how using The Wheel of Life periodically will help you make progress and keep on track to continuing your journey for total life balance. The Wheel of Life is what I use as a starting point for the goal-setting process. The Wheel of Life helps you focus on the activities required to achieve your goals and ultimately obtain what is truly important to you in life. The goal of the exercise is to help you create a wheel of life that is as round as possible; therefore, creating total balance in your life. When the wheel is out of balance, life is like a rollercoaster of ups and downs. Your professional life is up, but your romantic life is down. A person could be in excellent physical health, but suffering from their poor relationships with family and friends. These constant ups and downs take a toll on a person’s overall quality of life. The Wheel of Life I use has 8 areas to it and that you continually focus on. 1. Fitness and Health 2. Family & Friends 3. Romance/S.O. / Partner 4. Money 5. Career 6. Fun & Recreation 7. Spiritual Development/Personal Growth 8. Physical Environment People begin by rating their current level of satisfaction for each of the 8 areas of the wheel. They rate each area on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the very best and 1 being dismal. Rating each area of life gives each person a better perspective of how round their wheel actually is today. You want to visualize each area of your life as a perfect 10 and answer the question, “What would I be doing in each area of my life if that area was ideal?” The things that you visualize when you picture your life as a perfect 10 are, in a way, your goals. After all, these are things that you see in your life when you envision life as ideal. So how do you set out to achieve this ideal lifestyle you’ve envisioned? To complete your Wheel of Life and determine how round your wheel is today, go to www.AccountablityCoach.com. This is complimentary resource available to everyone. Feel free to share this exercise with others and update it as often as you like.

The phenomena of procrastination | Today we are going to talk about The phenomena of Procrastination. The phenomena of procrastination is what separates outstanding performance from mediocre performance. A business associate of mine recently conducted a series of interviews with 15 of their most successful clients. In answer to the question, "If you knew then what you know now, what would you have done differently," this person encountered a recurring theme, which can be paraphrased as follows: "Life happens ... and if I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have used it as an excuse not to do the work. When I finally stopped using everything that normally occurs in life and business as an excuse not to do the work, my results dramatically improved ... my life dramatically improved ... and the work got easier." We all have challenges we have to deal with on a professional and personal level. “Life happens” and “Life gets in the way” at certain times in all of our lives. You have to deal with life issues we have and continue to stay focused on what is truly important to us and not stop the forward momentum that you have worked so hard to build. It is harder, sure, but you will persevere anyway, so why not make the adjustment to deal with “life issues” sooner rather than later or not at all. Have you ever wondered why some people become champions, superstars, or celebrities? Have you ever considered that not succeeding at something important to you... ... even for a REALLY good reason... ... is not the same as achieving your goal? Have you ever said or thought, “I wish I had more time?”, “If I had more time, I would _____.”, “If there were a few more hours in this day, I could _____.” Most of us, at some time or another, have probably thought or said this to ourselves. Successful people know you can have whatever level of success you desire and the quality of life you truly want by making some adjustments to the way you are currently operating in your professional and personal life. All that most people need are systems, processes, focus, real desire to achieve your goals, belief that you can do whatever you set your mind to, and (the key) Accountability. Wouldn’t it be great if our ‘good intentions’ worked the way that we think they should? Have you ever considered the cost of poor follow through in your life? Begin enjoying the experience of an even greater life quality and total life balance. Aim for what you want each and every day! Until next time, make it a great day, today and every day!
