Be sure not to confuse busy work with effective work. When I was apart of the direct sales market, they taught us the importance of triage when it comes to effectiveness. “A” priorities were the life support habits in order to grow and maintain you business like making client calls. Take a moment to triage your daily tasks. Make those that give your business life top priority.
The one investment with the biggest return is the one you make in yourself. Skills can be learned and characters can be built. Make yourself a priority and know that you are worth every penny spent.

If you are not willing to ask for what you want, you are automatically accepting the answer no. When we are not pay attention to the “excuses” we give as to why something will not work, you have already set yourself up for failure. Be willing to ask, at least you have a 50/50 chance which is better than a 100% NO.

I often hear people say, and I have said it myself, that they want to be invited to the table. My question then is, what are you bringing? In order to get something, one must be willing to give something. You don’t want to be the person invited to a picnic but fail to bring anything to eat. If you are that one, expect not to be invited back.

Not everyone is going to support your dream and that’s okay. Everyone is here with a vision or purpose all of their own. When you allow the behavior or emotions of another keep you from your greatness, you are saying that their wants are more important then what you were designed for. You were given the gift of life, what you do with it is your gift back.

What’s impossible for one person does not meat it is impossible for you. We are know our capabilities and limitations, or so we think we do. The biggest limitation usually to overcome is yourself. The world is full of people who have overcome great odds. If they could do it, so can you.

One valuable lesson I learned while in the military was, never ask anything of your soldiers you are not willing to do for yourself. Are your actions in alignment with what you are saying? People are not dumb and can pick up on plain “lip-service”. Work to ensure the advice you are willing to dish out to other is the same advice you are willing to take also.

Surround yourself with people who keep you motivated and focused. We all have times when we just don’t feel like we can keep going. Having a strong “why” is important and so is having a strong support system in place as well. No man is an island so don’t think you have to go this journey alone.

Plants have to be moved into larger containers as they grow because the roots of the plant become cramped and form a tightly packed mass that inhibits growth. Like plants, as we start to grow, we eventually need to be re-potted. Learn to embrace change. It’s a sign of growth.
