Monday Book Review-School of Greatness

school.ofgreatness

This book is PHENOMINAL, Lewis Howes has a personal story of how he changed his life, but he did not stop there, he shared so much wisdom that he gained from interviewing powerful people.  If you want to know how to bounce back or start something from nothing, this book will give you the encouragement you need.  Many times when we suffer from defeat, we go home and cry.  That is not a bad thing, but guess what you can’t cry forever.  It’s the person that accepts the set back as a set up for a comeback that wins!!  If you have found yourself in a place of despair, read this book.  If you have found yourself unmotivated, read this book.  If you a great hope for the future, read this book.  I want to get and read: THE SCHOOL OF GREATNESS!!!

Keep Moving Even When You’re TIRED!

 

Have you ever been so tired that you did not want to keep going??  I have experienced this state too many times, but what I want to encourage you to do is to KEEP MOVING.  I hope you hear my heart on this subject, I’m not telling you to keep running because physically you might need to slow it down.  I want you to know that you MUST keep moving because standing still is not an option for you. You are a person with a mission.  People that are READERS or LEADERS.  I know  you would not be reading this blog if you did not find information very important to your life.  I want you to know that some movement is better than no movement.  Some days just work 10-20 minutes on your goal.  If you practice working 6 days a week on things that will take you closer to your goal, you will be AMAZED!!  I want you to: KEEP MOVING EVEN WHEN YOU’RE TIRED!!

Keep IT in the FAMILY

keep.family

Today my post is about 12 hours later than normal due to a family situation.  I wanted to post because I am committed to writing every day Monday-Friday.   My situation made me recall some situations that Ms. Robbie with Sweetie Pie’s always say: KEEP IT in the FAMILY.  I wanted to share that message because when you have a business, it should be your goal to create something that you and your family can benefit from.  If you have a family member you can groom to work with you, it is critical that you do that.  It helps you build a legacy, when you look at the SWEETIE PIE’S EMPIRE, it is full of Ms. Robbie’s Family.  I take pride in knowing that I am building something that I can do just like Ms. Robbie suggests: KEEP IT in the FAMILY!

Results-Oriented!!!

results.oriented

 

I want you to think about results for 2016.  I want you to look for results every year, month, week and day.  I know that daily results might seem like a bit much but I promise you that if you start now and work on getting results every day that will build to an AMAZING week, month and year.  I have learned in 2015, if you don’t focus on the results you will find yourself disappointed.  I know activities are good, however activities need to always be monitored to see if they are working.  In order to get the RESULTS sometimes we must change the technique, we need to alter the delivery or we might need to increase the frequency of what we are doing.  It starts with ME–and YOU, we must decide TODAY that I will only focus on the results.  I want you to know if you do X you will get Y.  I want you to decide to be RESULTS-ORIENTED!!

YES I DID THAT!!

yes.ididit

This time a year ago, my first book was launched.  Yes I was able to get published after years of sharing with others verbally I decided that I would join 11 other women and share my share of entrepreneurship by writing.  I love sharing with others but when I realized everything that I shared is so vital to exceeding your expectations, it was a game changer.  There might be 1 or 2 times in your life that you experience a game changer, when it happens might sure you learn the lesson. I know this for sure, one of the major reasons most people stay in the same place every year is the they lack a guided plan. Now that plan can be given to you by another person or you can figure out that plan-either way you must have a plan. when you experience something in your life that can shift the game for you, please take note.  Writing a book and having that book become a BEST SELLER on AMAZON was a definite SIGN that all things can work out when you BELIEVE and WORK! I want you to be able to say: YES I DID THAT!!!

Feel Your Way Into A Decision-Before You Think Your Way Out of an Opportunity

dede.feel

While reading DeDe Murcer Moffett’s book a little while ago, I latched on to this statement that DeDe reinforced.  Feel your way into a decision before you think your way out of an opportunity.  This statement was so profound and it helped me see how we talk ourselves out of opportunities because of our lack of believe and our lack of action.  You see when we are given an opportunity we need to search deep into our soul, into our gut and see what we feel about that decision.  When we go with our gut decision we are generally right.  I want you to reconsider decisions now with your feelings.  You can over think things so many times that we never consider if everything could go right. Change your thinking, start to believe that everything will work out for the good.  Let your gut tell you what to think.  I want you to: FEEL YOUR WAY INTO A DECISION BEFORE YOU THINK YOUR WAY OUT OF AN OPPORTUNITY.

Share Your Story-Include the Pain

share.story

One of the best things about writing a book, is the ability to share your story with others. What is even better is when you have the courage to share your pain. Many times what we hid from others is the very thing that can help us stand out from the crowd.  For over 20 years, I never shared the story of my special needs son that passed away.  Many people knew I had a love for the special needs population but they did not know why.  When I shared the story of pain, I began to connect on a deeper level of people.  I began to see my story as a way to help other people.  As a result of sharing the story, many people gained strength and I was able to use my pain to help others.  Sharing my story gave me another business because it helped fine tune my business-Sheryl Jones-Queen of Hearts.  I have been able to help corporate women identify the life the would love to have and make a plan to obtain that life.  That gives me great joy to help others begin to fall in LOVE with the LIFE they are living.  Please SHARE YOUR STORY-INCLUDE THE PAIN!

Monday Book Review-The Art & Science of Loving Yourself First

 

loving.yourselfThis book has a way of making you look at every area of your live and evaluating your self love.  Many things we do stop us for really caring for ourselves.  It takes more time away from things we can do to help our own body become better.  I have a great example of this in my life, spending so much time working that I do not exercise.  Every new year we vow to do better for ourselves.  Now is the time, I pulled this book out because I purchased it over 2 years ago and the title encouraged me to look at it again.  We have things in our life that we can make better if we just love ourselves first.  It time to get rid of the excuses and learn THE ART & SCIENCE OF LOVING YOURSELF FIRST.

2015 in Review

2015.review

Take time today and look at 2015.  Review your good and your bad and your ugly.  Many times looking back at situations, it is not as bad as we thought it was.  When we learn from our mistakes the lesson propels us to another level.  With the knowledge of what went wrong, we have great insight on what we can do differently to succeed.  In 2016 promise yourself that you will live like everything you touch will come true.  When you live from a place of courage, anything can happen.  Please look at 2015 IN REVIEW.
