5 Reasons You Need To Act TODAY
The procrastination monster strikes the best of us, but sometimes procrastination turns into something worse. You keep putting off your dreams, then one day you wake up and look back on what 'could've, should've would've' been. It's easy to let your fear - of failure, success or possibly both - keep you from acting. But there are 5 critical reasons why you need to act on your dreams TODAY. Time Waits For No Man People have been conditioned by society to believe that the older they get, the less likely they are to achieve a big dream. Most people talk themselves out ...
The REAL Reason Why Your Business Will Fail
We are living in uncertain financial times. The economic climate here in the US has been tense and rocky for the past few years. I have brilliant friends who've been unemployed and underemployed for at least a year. The forecast for our nation's recovery isn't promising, as everyone has said "things will get worse before they get better". This is not why your business will fail. Consumers are now bombarded with more advertising and more businesses are competing for the average person's time and attention. And they all have more money, more resources and a deeper understanding of your market than you do. This ...
What Do Your Dreams Look Like?
When you close your eyes and look at your dreams, what do you see? When you think about the future and what you where you want to be, what do you feel? When you listen to loving voice in your head, that's guiding you to the person you were born to be, what do you hear? Do you take the time to listen, to feel, to see what's before you? So often, before we dare to dream and to desire something new in our lives, we allow our negative self-talk to talk ourselves out of what we want. You might say things to yourself ...
The Scam of Unselfishness
You're not going to like this post very much. You see, I'm here today to tell you that you've been hoodwinked. If you're a woman, you were probably taught to be nice, to always think of others, to give unselfishly of yourself, and to 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you'. And if you're a man, we've all heard the saying that 'nice guys finish last'. You've seen in your own life where you've been 'too nice', you've given and given and given, and you put others' wants and needs before your own. How is that working out ...
6 Reasons Why You Are Extraordinary
When you were created, there wasn't a mold for you. You were created uniquely and do not have a replica in the entire world. Even though we live in a cookie-cutter society, the being that you are cannot fit into the box that conformity requires of you.You hear the call of your spirit as it struggles to break free of its external constraints. From the moment you took your first breath, you were equipped with talents, abilities and interests that no one else has. You are extraordinary because no one else can utilize these tools in the way that you can, while ...
3 Ways Black People Hold Ourselves Back
In honor of Black History Month, I thought it fitting to write about ways we as black people tend to hold ourselves back. I find it ironic that after facing slavery, Jim Crow and the Civil Rights movement, we find ways to keep ourselves and other black people from succeeding. If anything, we'd want to succeed to prove that racists are wrong about us, right? 1. Black People Don't Do That Have you ever wanted to do something adventurous, such as sky dive, go white water rafting, learn rock climbing or go camping? Were you studious as a child, and told that ...
