How to make decisions

Do you find it hard to make decisions?

Some decisions are harder than others. It depends upon the risk that is involved. A decision as to what to order on a menu is much different from whether to have a surgery or not.

Most common in our everyday decision-making are the low to medium risks. Should you spend the money? Should you go on that trip? Should you quit your job? Continue reading

Each of us is unique and has a unique set of talents, skills and desires that determine what we are passionate about.

With this uniqueness we are divinely designed to provide some unique service to the world that noone else can offer in our particular way.

Most people can’t decide what they are passionate about because they are trying to pinpoint it to one thing. The truth is that you probably have many interests and having to pick just one is overwhelming. Continue reading

What You Can Learn From Jerry Weintraub

Jerry Weintraub book“I’ll tell you my biggest talent. When I believe in something, it’s going to get done. When people say, “No,” I don’t hear it. When people say, “That’s a bad idea,” I don’t believe them. When people say, “It won’t happen,” I pretend they’re joking.” – excerpt from the book, When I Stop Talking, You’ll Know I’m Dead by Jerry Weintraub.

I am in the midst of reading this book by Jerry Weintraub subtitled, “useful stories from a very persuasive man”.  When I read the excerpt above I knew I wanted to share it on a blogpost.

Things happen when you believe in yourself without a doubt. All that negative stuff you are thinking will prevent things from happening. Continue reading

notes, lists

Did you ever hear the phrase, “write it down, make it happen”? Actually it is the title of a book that I read many years ago.

When you work at home sometimes you lack structure in your day. Some days I wake up and I’m not sure what to do, or lack motivation to do things I know that I should do. Continue reading

Top 5 places to get your work done if you are self-employed

One of the benefits of working for yourself at home and making money online is that you can work from almost anywhere. Since the work entails brainstorming, reading books and research you don’t necessarily have to be in front of a computer. But even if you needed to most places have an internet connection.

Reading ProBlogger on Anna Maria Beach, FL

Here are the top 5  places that I enjoy working:

  1. The beach. Living 10 minutes from the nearest Florida Gulf Coast beach makes the sun and water my favorite place to “work.” There’s nothing like being surrounded by nature and beauty to put you in a creative mood. Here is where I can read books, jot down thoughts and let my brain relax. That’s how I get my best ideas.
  2. Coffee shop/cafe. I also get inspired while sitting with a cup of coffee in a shop or cafe. I seem to be able to tune out other things in my life so that I can concentrate, even with other people around me. I can sit with pen and paper, read books and even get a bite to eat. Starbucks and Panera Bread are popular hangouts for the self-employed. Continue reading

Living life as if every day were the weekend

Many people hate Mondays, or waking up on any day of the week for that matter, because they have to go to jobs that they don’t like.

I like Mondays personally because I am not scheduled to be anywhere at a certain time. I can wake up and do whatever I want.

I woke up early and checked my stats of my internet marketing endeavors from the previous day.

Then I made breakfast and had a leisurely cup of coffee. Wrote a blog post, threw in some laundry, and I was ready to go the beach. Continue reading

Get a Job

love my job

With the way the economy is these days, with people losing their jobs and the scarcity of jobs as a whole, it makes me believe that the Universe is prodding us to look in other directions, to follow our bliss, to leave situations that don’t use our gifts to its fullest potential.

You see more people becoming entrepreneurs, leaving behind the office politics and turning their backs on being chained to a desk.

The truth is that you don’t need a resume or an interview to get a job. Continue reading

The Power – a sequel to The Secret

The PowerHere is a new book, The Power, which is a sequel to the book, The Secret. The book is set to be released August 17, 2010.

While The Secret explained the Law of Attraction, The Power tells you how you have the power to have anything you want.

I heard about this book on Facebook where they have a fan page that you can join.

There are a plethora of books out that will explain to you the Law of Attraction, spiritual principles and ways to create your own reality. Each new book that comes out seems to rehash it all in a new way.

I say it’s all good. Sometimes just reading or hearing something you already know in a different way, can help you understand it better.

You can order The Power from Amazon.

Prosperity

Do you have money on your mind? Is your mind rolling around with thoughts like “where can I get more money?”, “how can I pay the bills?”, and “I don’t have enough money!”

Here are some concepts to contemplate that will help you overcome feelings of lack.

Abundance is our natural state. If we are not abundant we are literally pushing it away. We push it away by resisting and not allowing.

Money is merely energy and energy is infinite. Therefore, money is infinite. There is an endless supply available to all of us.
