Ok, well maybe I won’t completely rant, but I do get annoyed and mystified by individuals who have talent but refuse to follow through.  Why?  Why not push yourself to complete whatever goal you have set and make it happen?  Why do you frequently add the word “but” into the equation?  I would like to do this “but” I never have enough time.  I would like to do this “but” I am not smart enough.  There it is…the “but” word.  When you exhibit this type of behavior, you reinforce whatever lack of confidence that you already have instilled in yourself
If you encountered a roadblock on your way home tonight, would you put a “For Sale” sign on your car and give up?   Of course not…you would figure out another route to get home.  It would never occur to you to simply give up trying to get there.   It might take you longer, but you’d find some other way to make it home, wouldn’t you?
I believe this is because you have a crystal-clear picture of your goal in mind and you also have unshakable confidence in your ability to achieve it. Confidence alone without the picture won’t get you there, and neither will the picture without the belief in yourself. But together, they are an unbeatable combination.
The same is true of any goal you set in life. You don’t have to know exactly how you are going to achieve it at the time you set the goal. In fact, if you expand your goals beyond what you know how to make happen, and if you hold a picture of the end-result you want vividly in your mind – refusing to give up until you achieve it – you set a powerful process in motion that will help you with the “how.”
So why not incorporate this into your daily life?  Start today.  Get off your “but”.   Renew those relationships with those who matter most.  Take your professional goals to a new high.  Become an unstoppable entrepreneur.  Step outside the box and get out of your comfort zone.  Get off your “but” and become empowered.
Yours In Success…

Being an entrepreneur has given me a deep appreciation for individuals who are success oriented and never give up. The drive to always “push through” is a trait of successful people.
I have been fortunate to associate myself with many successful individuals over my life. It began with my father who instilled in me the ability to step outside of the box…to create something out of nothing. He taught me the importance of integrity in business...traits that I have incorporated into the various business models I employ.
I spent the first ten years of my career in the medical field. I worked side by side with amazing individuals who put their own self-interests aside in order to nurture others back to good health. Many times I witnessed life and death situations. It was always humbling to experience the team-work that evolved around trying to save a lives.
As my career path evolved into the business world, not only could I bring those experiences into my persona, I saw a need to spread information…real information for real situations. A close friend of mine began to mentor me in aspects of blogging. He has given me incredible insight into how a blog should be developed…how to focus my passion for helping mentor people to becoming successful entrepreneurs. This passion for mentoring others began when I was a young child and continues today. It is not about me, but rather those who have influenced my life.
I am a work-out addict and a real “ski dog”. Sorry guys and gals…I do not “ride”. I live for deep powder and steep chutes. I love the feeling of looking over the edge of a steep run…feel my heart beat faster with that adrenaline rush and then “jump in”. I love golf…but I always wonder if I will ever break 100…lol! Most of all, I love my wonderful family…they are the best! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you feel empowered today.
