I’ve been listening to Earl Nightingale’s ‘The Strangest Secret’, a 1956 spoken word record, which sold over one million copies and received the first Gold Record for the spoken word, helping launch the fields of business motivation and audio publishing. One of the messages that he repeats over and over is this: WE BECOME WHATContinue reading “We can accomplish most anything 15 minutes at a time”

Belief triggers the power to do. Without belief – you won’t succeed
I love the classics. Today I decided to re-read ‘The Magic of Thinking Big’ by David J. Schwartz. Why so few people are financially independent… According to Dave – “It’s not about the variation in intelligence. . . it’s not about the number of hours worked. . . it’s not about education or health. ThereContinue reading “Belief triggers the power to do. Without belief – you won’t succeed”
The psychology of suffering…
“We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake,” Henry David Thoreau wrote in contemplating what it really means to be awake, adding: “Only one in a million is awake enough for effective intellectual exertion, only one in a hundred million to a poetic or divine life.” That’s what legendary philosopher and founding father of modern psychology William James (JanuaryContinue reading “The psychology of suffering…”
Recommit to your Goals…Daily!
Every day we need to recommit to our goals and dreams…to the contracts we’ve made with ourselves…our intentions….what we choose to continue, alter, begin or stop! At the seat of it all is what we are thinking…while we are doing. The story we are telling is far more important than any action we take. WhenContinue reading “Recommit to your Goals…Daily!”
Small Business Success Requires an Open Mind and the Ability to Think
Thinking seems to be a lost art. Today you can get an answer to virtually any question by typing in our question into a search engine. Compare that to the age BEFORE Google where children had to use their imagination all through playtime and draw on both sides of their brains to solve problems. PlaytimeContinue reading “Small Business Success Requires an Open Mind and the Ability to Think”
When You Feel As if There’s Nothing Left…There’s More
I’m beginning to understand what I have heard countless wise individuals share in articles and talks…that you should never wait on inspiration or motivation…that you should just begin. I wrote a couple days ago about the ten minute hack which you can read here but he was talking about at the start of the day, whenContinue reading “When You Feel As if There’s Nothing Left…There’s More”
Be Fascinated By The Differences Not Troubled
Takes all types to make up the world. So I’ve been told by my mom, my grandmother, friends, and teachers. We all understand this on some level but because we are generally insular – ignorant of or sometimes uninterested in cultures, ideas, or peoples outside of our own experiences and world view, we tend not toContinue reading “Be Fascinated By The Differences Not Troubled”
Is There a System to Discovering the WHY in Your Life?
A reader of my weekly Business Newsday Column recently emailed and asked: Is there a proven system that exists in discovering the “why” in one’s life. It seems to me that in reality there are many “whys” depending on the stage one has reached in their life and circumstances surrounding it. I made several attemptsContinue reading “Is There a System to Discovering the WHY in Your Life?”
What’s NOT Taught in Schools Can Hurt Us
Whenever I start writing an article I usually do a bit of Googling just to see who’s writing what and what other people’s thoughts are around the subject that I am examining. At the back of my mind, as I was about to enter the search words I was thinking about my own experience atContinue reading “What’s NOT Taught in Schools Can Hurt Us”
The only way to ‘Be Yourself’ is to own yourself
And the only way to ‘own’ yourself is to learn about yourself and constantly reprogramme until you get the results you want. It’s so easy to fall into the trap of blaming circumstances as to why you don’t have more. We ‘want want want’ all the time but are we choosing to do anything differently?Continue reading “The only way to ‘Be Yourself’ is to own yourself”
