Tricks of the Trade

Reading is really fundamental. With that it is sometimes important to create the space you need to read a recommended book or something that catches your eye. You could learn a new technique, reinforce what you already know or take an adventure to a far away land. We have been focused on a lot of professional and personal development books in 2017. 

The fun part is most of the books reference highly successful people. Yes, they discuss Oprah, Toni Roberts and many more. That is truly inspiring to hear that they didn't just spend their wealth to acquire certain attributes that make their lives whole. It is the little things. It is the things we don't see that help them stay centered and focused. 

Take a moment and find out what your mentor, role model or rock star does that you could cooperate in your life. When you find out don't just sit on it but make the moves in your life to reach your success level. It is not necessary that easy but it is a start. 

Find out the trick of the trade and execute. You can do whatever you put your mind to.

The Word

The Word for 2016 is Focus. 

Focus on the things that bring me joy and happiness. 

If I was asked to make a list of what I need to focus on it would be:

Faith

Family

Giving Back

Education

Destiny

Destiny equals my business. I feel it in my spirit that I have something to offer the world. It has been proven by clients even when I didn't have the energy to get out of the bed. Having clients call on me for projects when I thought it was over for the business. So if I can build even when I have no energy I can't even imagine what can happen when I put true concentration in what I am doing. It won't be easy. It won't always be fun. It will be fulfilling. 

What is your word? What do you want to give yourself in 2016. Let's be intentional.

April Check-in Recap

It is so good to work in the things you believe in. It is also even better not to allow the distractions of the world to keep you from moving in the upward direction. On this months call we specifically discussed working through distractions. Distractions can be life events, financial changes, social media and more. The thing we have to remember is that these things are distractions. A distraction is a thing that prevents someone from giving full attention to something else. (definition from google.com) 

We reviewed some of the tactics to use to conquer distractions. First focus on the good. In our lives we have that one thing that can bring joy to our hearts. If we remember that then it can help us ignore the foolishness that can come up in life. Another thing is to take the obstacle in stride knowing that great things are coming towards you. Most of the time storms get strongest before the calm. Then having a plan for some obstacles will not only allow you to not stress about it but make you feel good to be prepared. Lastly if you are in your passion then that alone will keep you going. Doing what you are called to do is the greatest feeling of all. Distractions are apart of life but knowing that you are in the right place at the right time makes it all worth it. 

We look forward to having you be apart of our next meeting. Visit our FB page to stay connected https://www.facebook.com/mihappenc
