"You must constantly ask yourself these questions: Who am I around? What are they doing to me? What have they got me reading? What have they got me saying? Where do they have me going? What do they have me thinking? And most important, what do they have me becoming? Then ask yourself the big question: Is that okay? Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change." ~Jim Rohn
Who are you hanging with and how are they affecting you? Alright, I hear some of you saying "My friends don't affect me, I affect them." Right...
If EVERYTHING YOU DO MATTERS, then it would also be true that everything the people you are hanging around does matters...AND AFFECTS YOU!!
What are you becoming by hanging with them? Better? Smarter? Healthier? Are you growing or shrinking...there is not staying put. Too often, we don't analyze our relationships and whether or not they are positive or negative for us. Start doing that now. Stop letting what others want and do affect you, even in the slightest way.
Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change. You might have to change some of the people you are hanging with, maybe even some family. Make the changes that YOU need first before you try to help others with their changes. If the people that you are around aren't challenging you, find some who will!!

Half Way Through 2013
“’Begin with the end in mind’ is based on the principle that all things are created twice. There’s a mental or first creation and a physical or second creation to all things.” ~Stephen Covey
Do you realize this and understand this? Do you think this way?
As we are starting the second half of 2013, see your business at the end of 2013. 'How do you do that?' you ask. Glad you asked. Take the time to envision yourself coming to the end of 2013 and you were able to do everything that you planned to do this year. What would that feel like? Where would you be? What would you be doing to celebrate your successes?
Stay in the moment and write everything that you are feeling and experiencing down as this will become part of the process. How are you different from the first half of the year? How are you the same? What new habits have you developed? What old habits did you drop? Who are you hanging around with? What are you reading?
The more you "begin with the end in mind," the more the physical creation creates it. Start using that incredible super-computer that you have called a brain. You'll be shocked at what it can do for you.

It's Never Too Late
"If you do not feel yourself growing in your work and your life broadening and deepening, if your task is not a perpetual tonic to you, you have not found your place." ~ Orison Swett Marden
Wow, it was like Marden was speaking to us today, instead of 100 years ago. With the recent statistics that close to 80% of people who ARE employed, hating their job, I guess most people haven't found their place yet. If that's you, keep reading...if not keep reading anyway...
Are you growing in your work? Is your life broadening and deepening? Unfortunately, most people aren't. It's not easy to find what you love to do and grow with that. It's difficult to make changes, especially after you've lived life for a while...Believe me, I know. It was 3 years ago that I realized that I wasn't growing, deepening and broadening my life. The changes haven't been easy but they have been worthwhile!
Find your place! Remember, that the place for the things you want is currently occupied by what you've settled for...Don't settle! It's never too late to be who you were meant to be!

It's difficult to make changes, especially after you've lived life for a while...Believe me, I know. It was 4 years ago that I realized that I wasn't growing, deepening and broadening my life. The changes haven't been easy but they have been worthwhile!

Anxious to Improve Your Circumstances?
"Men and women are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound."~James Allen
Are you anxious to improve your circumstances? Really, are you anxious to improve your circumstances? "Of course I am" you say. Well then, what are you doing about it? I'm sure that you are willing to improve yourself, but what are you doing? Who are you hanging around with? The same people that have gotten you to where you are today? Are they going to help you get to where you want to go? What are you reading? Who has time for reading? you say...Are you speaking your goals out loud in the morning and before bed? What? It sound silly? It makes you feel dumb??? I guess then you really aren't willing to improve yourself and you remain bound. These just are a few of the things that you could be doing to improve your circumstances.
"If your brain created the problem, maybe someone else's help is needed for a solution."~ Lynn Pierce Does that make sense to you? Of course, being a Mentor, it does to me. But I'm also an Irritator, and the Irritator in me sees so many people accepting mediocrity, remaining bound in their circumstances that it makes me mad. It makes me mad because they could have so much more, do so much more and be so much more, but they are unwilling to do what is necessary to create their perfect life.
