Holiday Meltdowns: Is your to do list TOO long? How to Get More Done and Have Fun Too!

Stop, pause and affirm “I will get everything done today that I meant to get done and do it with grace and ease.” It is not the number of things we get done but rather the manner, method and energy we infuse into the things we do get done.

As the hustle and bustle of the holiday comes into full swing it’s easy to become distracted, hurried, rushed feeling like a “Chicken running around with my head cut off.” (ooh – what a terrible image!)

Here are a few simple tips to help you this holiday season (and if you really want to get the most peace, prosperity and joy during this time go to: http://wpninstitute.com/holiday)

First, before you rush off to do all the stuff on your to do list, give yourself at least 15 minutes to stop and focus on your priorities for the day:

(a) How do you want to feel today? Happy? Productive? Creative? Social? Relaxed? Consider that you actually have the choice to direct your feelings and responses to what shows up. When you begin your day with attention on your intentions you will more easily handle surprises, challenges and obstacles.

(b) What are the 3 most important things you want to accomplish? Take that long to do list and number the top 3 things. You’ll feel GREAT when you can cross them off your list and be delighted when you do more than those 3 because you have more focus and clarity.

Next, keep your to do list at your fingertips all day long … and look at it repeatedly! Guard yourself from being pulled off course by checking your email, checking out the link in that email, then another link on that page that spurs a new idea and …BAM! Before you know it 30 minutes (or more) are gone and so is the motivation to complete the task you started.

I trust these tips will help you today and always to remember …

Recession Brings Surprising Benefit

November 13, 2011 By Nancy View Comments

Today more than ever people are in search of the real thing. While the economic downturn has made so many things topsy-turvy and caused hardship for millions of people, an unexpected benefit was created from these challenges. This benefit is creating a better world for us by causing more people to act with honesty, integrity and authenticity.

As Ponzi schemes, scams and other hand-over-fist, fast money making empty promises were exposed, people are now more cautious and discerning in choosing where to spend their money and their time. To protect themselves and their hard earned cash, most people are looking to the character, quality and integrity of the person behind the business before making a substantial investment of their money and their time.

You may be familiar with the quote from my friend, Bob Burg: “All things being equal, people do business with people they know, like and trust.” I invite you now to really absorb the meaning behind this powerful statement and consider:

a) Do you really let people get to know YOU?

b) Are you likeable? The #1 way to be more likeable is to like others!

c) Are you trustworthy? Do you keep your word? Show up for appointments on time?

In order to succeed in life and in business we must be authentic, building relationships based in trust and service to others rather than purely seeking the almighty buck.

As I was cleaning out my purse this morning I discovered this wonderful article given to me by a gentleman who heard me speak last weekend. I know you’ll enjoy it as much as I did and I invite you to greater levels of success in business and in life as you live authentically!

“If we intend to be successful in our profession, there is one fact we should take into consideration. Each of us is at least four persons.

The person we really are.
The person we think we are.
The person other people think we are.
The person we think that other people think we are.

We should try to make every effort to keep one and four identical.” (Author unknown)

How Far Can You Really Go?

How Far Can You Really Go?

“You have to risk going too far to discover how far you can really go.” (Jim Rohn)

Are you willing to go too far? Are you willing to risk the comfort of the status quo to stretch, grow and realize your full potential? Think now in this moment of something you want that you do not yet have in your possession. Write it down. If you’re like most people (and actually did write it down), the moment you did so the what if’s, challenges and obstacles that could stand in your way to getting it immediately appeared. This is the place where the average person stops. If that works for you – don’t read any further.

If, on the other hand, you’re tired of allowing those fears and challenges keep you from having what you truly want. If you’ve decided that this is YOUR time. If you’re willing to get a little uncomfortable and find the ways you CAN get what you want (instead of all the reasons why you can’t), CLICK HERE Now and enjoy this FREE MP3 Download (no opt in required) of “The 3 Costly Mistakes Most People Make that Block Stupendous Success – And How to Avoid Them!”

July 28, 2010 By Nancy View Comments

In my travels as an International Speaker, Business Success Strategist and Founder of Women’s Prosperity Network, here are the challenges I hear most people talk about: (note — it is not the “bad economy”)

(1) Frustrated, broke and don’t know what to do next to create the “shift” to turn their life around.

(2) Tired of being ‘Alone” in business… “I went into business FOR myself – not to be BY myself.”

(3) Confused by the fast pace and rapidly changing world of marketing and experiencing “Information Overload” …. internet marketing, blogging, social media and networking day and night and not getting the results they deserve for all their hard work!

Does that sound familiar?
