~and her Name was Wilma

Here it is November and little did I know I’d be talking hurricanes again this late in the season. The area where I live encountered the outer bands of Wilma; however, other than downed trees and bushes, no other damage was sustained.

Miami-Dade County is a different story.I still have a lot of family and friends in South Florida and it’s incomprehensible that there’s close to 600,000 customers without electricity, and much of the south end of Miami will not be getting their power back for one month! Can you imagine living like that? Folks are leaving Miami in caravans just to go to places where there is electricity to buy gas. As most of stations don’t have electricity either, they can’t dispense the gas. The Governor is encouraging residents to drive to Tallahassee to purchase gasoline, back-up generators, living essentials, etc.

From all this, I received a lesson in resourcefulness from my 95 year old, Aunt Rosa, who lives in the Miami area where electricity is not expected for another month. Inasmuch as I’m worried for her, as she’s nursing a post-op hip replacement, she’s not worried a bit. She spoke to me with the certainty of a prophet. Is she scared? Sure she is! But she’s also very wise and she trusts the infinite power of the Universe.

I’ll tell you what my Aunt Rosa did: Finding herself alone and frightened, no electricity, water or phone lines at the time, she wheeled herself to the front door of her apartment, and started yelling out for help. A long while went by until someone heard her, and then neighborly good-will came into play. My Aunt Rosa got resourceful!

She reminded me it was more important to be “resourceful” than to have resources. She looked inward and found courage, and determination. She pulled all those “inner resources” together, talked to as many people as she could, who in turn, talked to as many people as they could and they all got “resourceful”~ They all found a way to get what they wanted to meet their immediate needs in the midst of a very difficult situation.

This is true in business as well. When you feel things are closing in on you, when money is tight, when one of your biggest clients is unable to pay for your services due to circumstance outside the realm of their control, when things are not going your way, look inward, remember your big dream, your vision, creativity, find your courage, your passion, your purpose, your determination, commitment, compassion and

GET RESOURCEFUL! Your life will forever change and the Leader in you, will rise up and rule!

  • Planning for an Outstanding 2006

    ~

    Are you ready to kick-start an awesome 2006 and create a plan to give you exactly what you want, in your business, in your life?

    I want to get you started to finish 2005 on a high note, and get a gigantic jump on an extraordinary 2006. A few things need to happen before you begin to create a plan that will get you outstanding results.

    First, give yourself the gift of self-reflection to help you create the life you really want in the coming year ahead. No successful plan can ever be created unless you are totally “clear” about what YOU want. What you “really, really” want!

    I want to remind my readers, the following subjects are just the tip of the iceberg. As this is a newsletter, not a workshop; henceforth, these topics barely touch the surface. However, I’m very passionate and committed to getting you started with the basics. For an in-depth Action Plan, call my office at (386) 615-6282.

    Getting Clarity:

    1. What was GREAT about 2005?
    2. What were three of your biggest business accomplishments?
    3. What were the three most significant lessons you learned?
    4. How are your relations with your Partners/Employees/Customers?
    5. How are things with your family, friends, neighbors, and community?
    6. What needs to change in your life?
    7. What needs to change within you?
    8. What empowering decisions did you make in 2005?
    9. What decisions might you make next year as a result?

    Recognizing what you are capable of doing:

    1. What were some past dreams, goals or desires that you thought were difficult to achieve?
    2. What steps did you take to make them into “reality”? Yes, that’s right, you made them into reality, didn’t you? Remember how you felt when you got them? Keep that feeling very close to your heart.

    Feeling the Passion:

    • As clarity and ability are being established, now is time for you to create a list of things or goals that you would like to accomplish in the next five years. Be sure to include ANYTHING you’ve ever thought of that would be of importance to you. I mean ANYTHING. Allow yourself to light up the burning fire, so that the passion for what you want, will get you there.
    • Look at your financial goals, personal goals, your relationships goals, physical goals, contribution goals. Be creative. Think of things that are very much about YOU!
    • Once you stop writing, go through your list and by each item, place the number of years (or months) you want for that goal to be achieved. You can create a list to accommodate 5 years to 20 years. Remember, this is all about YOU!

    Getting Focused:

    • Shift your ATTENTION and concentrate on those things you absolutely want to see happen.
    • What are your top 4 goals for 2006? By consistently focusing on what you want, you will begin to attract it, as you will force your mind to think of finding ways to get you exactly what you want. Remember to identify WHY you want them as REASON and PURPOSE are more powerful and compelling than the actual goals or results.

    Getting Committed:

    • As you get excited about kick-starting your 2006 with a lot of joy and passion, think of revising your Business plan, refine your Marketing plan, and think of what else can you be doing to increase sales, clients, revenue, profits. Identify your resources, leverage, and delegate.
    • If at all possible, diminish, bring down, or eliminate debt.
    • Develop a sense of entitlement on everything you wish to attain as it is yours to have. Build your sense of self-worth, as that usually goes hand-in- hand with your bottom-line. Above all, make a commitment to yourself that those things you want to attain, you will find a way to get them.

    Last but not least, remember the Power of Five (TM):

    • Passion
    • Pride
    • Purpose
    • Profits
    • Perception
    Let them be your guide to a life of achievement, fulfillment, joy and success.


    A Touch of Gratitude
    Thanksgiving scene

    ~

    As Thanksgiving approaches, I want to remind my readers that one of the most powerful ingredients to a successful life is “gratitude”.

    Just imagine what you would be doing differently, if each moment of the day you felt a deep sense of gratitude for all you are, all you have and for all the opportunities around you.

    As you identify your blessings, you begin to smile inside. Then the smile within reflects on your face, on your lips and you begin to stand tall, shoulders back, confidence kicks in. How do you feel now? See, it’s happening already.

    As you begin to realize you have this incredible gift called: “Another day of your life!”, your attitude towards the actions you choose to take every day will shift to one of appreciation for all the tremendous blessings you have been given. No longer will things seem like a “drag”, they indeed will have a purpose.

    Keep on smiling and be grateful for all your incredible blessings. Make sure you tell others to be grateful as well. If they don’t know what they need to be grateful about, be sure to tell them! Make “gratitude” a daily occurrence; it will make you highly successful as it, also, becomes part of your legacy! What a great thing to be remembered by.

    Happy Daily Thanksgiving!

    Tie a Yellow Ribbon . . .
    Yellow Ribbon

    ~

    That is exactly what Tony Orlando did on October 16, 2005, at the new Daytona Beach Hilton Hotel on behalf of the Stuart Meyers Hospice Foundation.

    Of course you all remember Tony Orlando, don’t you? Remember when he knocked three times on the ceiling if you want me?

    Well, he’s still on a roll and as wonderful as ever! As a kid, I remember looking up to him with gooey eyes! It happened all over again!

    Tony Orlando reminded all of us that night of the importance of being grateful. He spoke how Frank Sinatra helped him kick-start his career by dreaming big and keeping his vision clear. Tony, then, proceeded to knock a few more times on the ceiling of: “all things are possible, when you stay focused on what you want”!

    His show was more than just community contribution, Tony spoke about what a great impact The Beatles had on him; and actually did a tribute to some of their music during the event. He then spoke of the importance of “looking inward” and finding what you really want in life. Tony’s message was clear: Know what you want, focus, keep your vision, do what you must to get it, and be grateful! Sound familiar?

    Thank You, Tony!
