15 Ways To Stabilize So Your Dreams Can Materialize | Creative Life & Internet Marketing Set and Then Forget… (at least for a little while) As an aggressive entrepreneur, I was ready to conquer the world at a very young age. My plan was to out-work, out-innovate, and out-run my competition at all costs until I was financially free. I started a lawn mowing business… then a custom T-shirt business… and then a motivational poster business… After several years of intense entrepreneurship, I had reached my mid-20’s… and I was still broke. Stabilize Your Finances Financial stability starts with steady income and low expenses, NOT with a great investment or the next great entrepreneurial idea. I always wanted to put risk before stability, but it’s actually the other way around. 1. As a free spirit, I’ve always hated “workin’ for the man.” I’d put in my resignation and set out on my next business adventure. Entrepreneurs: Don’t Jump Too Soon As an entrepreneur coach, I see the same situation over and over again. My advice is always something they don’t want to hear: 2. 3. 4. 5. 1. 2.
6 Habits of Remarkably Likeable People When you meet someone, after, "What do you do?" you're out of things to say. You suck at small talk, and those first five minutes are tough because you're a little shy and a little insecure. But you want to make a good impression. You want people to genuinely like you. Here's how remarkably likeable people do it: They lose the power pose. I know: Your parents taught you to stand tall, square your shoulders, stride purposefully forward, drop your voice a couple of registers, and shake hands with a firm grip. It's great to display nonverbal self-confidence, but go too far and it seems like you're trying to establish your importance. No matter how big a deal you are you pale in comparison to say, oh, Nelson Mandela. Clinton takes a step forward (avoiding the "you must come to me" power move); Mandela steps forward with a smile and bends slightly forward as if, ever so slightly, to bow (a clear sign of deference and respect in nearly every culture); Clinton does the same. You meet someone.

Productivity Tips: How to Make Changes in Your Business, Career, or Health If you're really not happy with some aspect of your life--your business, your career, your productivity, your health--the thought of making all the changes necessary to change your situation can seem overwhelming. You'll never finish... so what's the point of even starting? Sometimes all it takes is picking one thing, one small thing, and doing it. Success is rarely overnight; success is the result of a series of small, incremental steps. So forget the long-term. Forget the end result or the exit strategy. While you can't overcome every problem right away, you can accomplish one thing. Here are some examples: 1. Spend 20 minutes a day making connections. Just make sure your 20 minutes are focused entirely on giving, not receiving. 2. Overcome your Pavlovian response to incoming email and commit to only taking glancing at your inbox three times; say at 8, noon, and 5. Or pick one task a day to see through to the end instead of multitasking. 3. Eat one meal a day differently. 4. 5.

Managing People: What the Best Leaders Do I was struggling to engage the audience. Okay, be honest, I tried not to let it show but I was dying onstage. Maybe I was having an off day. Maybe they were having an off day. Or maybe the fact every one of the 100 people in attendance was a CEO, an executive, or the owner of a medium to large business meant they were way more accustomed to being listened to than they were to listening. So I took a different approach. Throwaway question? That was the point. They would sit and stare and then I would supply an intentionally against-the-grain answer sure to spark some heat and conversation. So I asked the question and then paused to read the room. I was about to speak when a voice broke the silence. "I think I know," a man sitting in the back corner said, somewhat hesitantly. A few heads turned in his direction. Mine did too, because I was a little surprised and a lot concerned. Wait--what? "Can you repeat that?" A number of heads slowly turned in his direction. I stared. Best answer ever.

12 Most Uplifting Words and Phrases to Keep Handy and Ready to Use This post follows the one I wrote about the 12 most self-defeating phrases to toss out for good. If you’re going to banish the put-downs that creep into your head, it helps to have handy some productive, encouraging thoughts to use instead — things to tell yourself that help you pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep on going. I’m going to call these suggestions the Stalwart’s Self-talk Script. 1. Give yourself a break when you make a mistake, especially when getting the hang of something. 2. My family has found a program that has given us incredible insight about, and support with, managing the ups and downs of raising a child with ADHD. 3. When you tell yourself this, it’s like being both the athlete and the sports fan. 4. Strong. 5. We live in a society that expects quick results. 6. You almost certainly accomplish many, many things on most days. 7. Celebrate mini-achievements when you feel overwhelmed about a looming deadline. 8. Give yourself a booster shot of persistence.
Two Lists You Should Look at Every Morning - Peter Bregman by Peter Bregman | 11:00 AM May 27, 2009 I was late for my meeting with the CEO of a technology company and I was emailing him from my iPhone as I walked onto the elevator in his company’s office building. I stayed focused on the screen as I rode to the sixth floor. I was still typing with my thumbs when the elevator doors opened and I walked out without looking up. Then I heard a voice behind me, “Wrong floor.” The world is moving fast and it’s only getting faster. So we try to speed up to match the pace of the action around us. But that’s a mistake. Never before has it been so important to say “No.” It’s hard to do because maybe, just maybe, that next piece of information will be the key to our success. A study of car accidents by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute put cameras in cars to see what happens right before an accident. Now is a good time to pause, prioritize, and focus.
