Develop A Pro-Aging Mindset

With each year comes a birthday to celebrate and a decision to either cringe at the idea or to celebrate. Why not Celebrate?! “Age” should not be a limiting factor in life, health, or anyone’s overall well being. When it comes to aging gracefully, there are many factors that come into play. Focus on not only eating healthy, exercising and hydrating—but ultimately creating a new  mindset.

Pro-aging is a mindset which embraces making the most of the age you are! Feel it in your Body, Mind & Soul. If your like me and like to set goals and learn new things, this mindset will resonate with you. Here are a few of my tips for finding your fierce self.

Body

If your looking to develop a pro-aging mindset,  you need to keep an eye on each nibble. Think about more than, “what would taste good” instead think “is this the fuel my body needs to operate at it’s best?” Place purpose behind what you  eat.  You’ve heard about the benefits of fruits and vegetables? They are more than just good for you. Antioxidants found in leafy greens, tomatoes, and blueberries —just to name a few —help stop molecules that damage normal  cells. Remember, five to nine servings of fruits and veggies a day! 

In addition to eating fruits and vegetables, whole grains rich in fiber such as oats, barley, quinoa, wheat, and brown rice keep your blood vessels in excellent condition and lowers your chance of developing type 2 diabetes. Fish contains Omega-3 fatty acids, look for salmon, lake trout, and tuna which have high levels of pro-aging benefits. Omega-3 fatty acids also protect your heart and lower chances of a stroke. If you don’t like fish,  purchase Omega-3 capsules in your local grocery store. 

Mind

There are hundreds of studies showing how exercise aids in gaining stamina and muscle strength, in addition to bone density, which can decrease with age. Who knew that it also does incredible things for our minds! Exercise changes the brain in a unique way that protects memory and thinking skills. Exercise helps to  improve our mood, sleep and reduces stress,all of which keep our minds strong.

Another factor that impacts our brain is sleep. It’s no joke, sleep is vital to survival, and it helps the nervous system function properly. Seven or more hours a night is recommended in order for our brains to function at peak performance. If your getting less than six hours you may irritable and get sick more frequently. Recent studies are  starting to reveal how brain cells and chemicals work together to regulate sleep and changes that take place in the brain when a person is sleep-deprived.

Soul

Today's world is stressful. Yoga offers freedom from boundaries that limit us by focusing on ways of looking after your-self better to increase vitality, find serenity, and get the best out of each day. Yoga helps to lower stress levels and helps fight  depression. Yoga is a relaxing way to become stronger and healthier.

Recent studies  show, practicing  yoga, combined with meditation has a beneficial effect on conditions like high blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar level, arthritis, asthma, chronic fatigue, stress, anxiety and postural problems. The regular practice of yoga also works to improve self-esteem, boost your energy, and increase concentration and improves your heart. Yoga  teaches that attaining control over your body is the key to controlling our mind. Not to mention, it helps keep our bodes limber and flexible!!!

7 Superfoods that Boost Brain Health

Let’s face it, we all know what we put in our body’s we get out, so why do so many of us eat in a way that doesn’t support our health? Certain foods are superfoods. They can boost different organs or systems within our body and if you’re like me, the brain is one organ the could always use a boost.

Food often affects every action our body performs from our memory to our energy level and even mood. Have you ever experienced “brain fog” often used to describe forgetfulness, confusion, and lack of attention. This easily overlooked condition can be a real downer. Luckily its simple to clean the mind of “brain fog”  if your willing to pay more attention to the food you eat rather than the calories you consume. 

Focus on consuming nutrient-dense foods to help your brain performance thrive. Below are 7 super-foods, begin incorporating them into your diet and see the difference in your concentration level.  

Walnuts

Go nuts for nuts! Especially walnuts which are excellent for our nervous system and brain health. You’ll find a great source of omega three fatty acids; walnuts also contain high levels of Vitamin E, which has been linked to preventing forms of dementia by protecting against free radical damage in the brain. Raw nuts are fine but to super charge them, it is best to let them soak overnight, which makes them easier to digest.

Celery

A rich source of luteolin, celery is full of this compound that research shows lowers rates of age-related memory loss by calming inflammation in the brain, which scientists and doctors believe to be the primary cause of neuro-degeneration. Next time you need a supercharged snack grab those celery sticks instead of something processed from the vending machine.

Bee Pollen

A spoon full of honey makes the medicine go down. Well actually that spoon full of honey may just be the “medicine” itself since the wide range of naturally occurring nutrients found in bee pollen are found to be energizing. Bee pollens are chocked full of free amino acids, folic acid, and are often around forty percent protein which all help to enhance our brain’s stamina and fight of fatigue. When you really need a brain boost, skip that cup of coffee and blend up a delicious smoothie with a teaspoon of bee pollen.

Sunflower & Pumpkin Seeds

With both containing an excellent mix of omega fatty acids, B vitamins, and protein—sunflower and pumpkin seeds will boost your energy levels. Also containing tryptophan, which the brain converts into serotonin combatting anxiety and eases depression. Finally, grabbing for that handful of seeds will give you your daily recommended dose of zinc, which I’m guessing you could be missing. Zinc is linked to enhancing thinking skills and memory.

Dark Chocolate

Yep I said chocolate! But not all chocolate is created equal, which is why we need to be very careful when picking out varieties to boost our brain function. Look for quality, dark chocolate if your looking to stick to the HEALTH benefits this superfood can provide. Rich in iron, magnesium and fiber; which work to improve blood flow to the brain coincidently improving memory and cognitive functioning. One of the most powerful antioxidants in the world, cacao surprisingly contains 15x more powerful antioxidants than blueberries. Before you get to excited and grab that Snickers bar, watch yourself! Look for the good stuff, organic dark chocolate with AT LEAST 70% cacao.

Coconut Oil

Well oiled-machines our bodies our, with the brain being made up of 60% fat. Think low fat levels are GOOD for your health? Think again. The trick is incorporating good, “healthy” fats like coconut oil which aids in raising good cholesterol, combatting dementia and weight loss. Acting as an anti-inflammatory, coconut oil has been known to help prevent the onset of brain disorders.

Spinach

When you think of spinach think of nitrates, which increase blood flow to our brains and improves mental performance. Delaying dementia is just another one of the preventative powers of spinach in addition to curbing the manifestation of cancer cells.

Rest & Relaxation 

Sleep, it is MUCH more important than people think. Second to sleep is relaxing, which can be improved by focusing on mindful breathing. Don’t be in a rush, slow down. Make sure to get seven hours of quality sleep every night. If your willing to go above and beyond start practicing yoga. Join a class near your home or look up a Youtube video.

5 Surprising Joys of Being a Grandparent

“What a bargain grandchildren are! I give them my loose change, and they give me a million dollars’ worth of pleasure.” ~Gene Perret 

Let’s face it, raising children is one tricky situation, to say the least. You will always have the responsibility that comes with being a mother or father, but with that responsibility comes the FUN of being a grandparent. Just ask anyone who’s joined this exclusive club, and I’m sure you’ll get a similar response, because honestly who doesn’t love being a grandparent?

Forget The Rules

Tired of that same old boring routine? Good thing the grandkids are coming over because rules and routine means nothing when you are young and care free. Use this unique position to your advantage, as parents we had to create the rules, but as a grandparents we get to let our hair down a little. Your in a position to be a confidant and even a friend, don’t take this for granted, the time will pass quickly. In the case of a bumped elbow or bruised knee don’t be afraid to go for the cookie jar, because you are the fun grandma or grandpa now, no longer the parent. 

Rekindle Your Youthful Spirit

Looking for an excuse to be a kid again? Well you’ve found the perfect one! Unlike adults, children have no real concept of “age” and some of the perceived limitations it could bring. Which makes them assume you have the same amount of unlimited energy as them. Embrace this notion, let their youthful vitality rub off on you a little. Ignite you sense of childlike wonder by kicking back and looking up at the stars, just to let your imagination play a little like your inspiring grandchildren aren't afraid to do. 

Experience More Personal Freedom 

   Despite of what is typically assumed strong family bonds creates independent individuals regardless of age. The support and emotional stability acts as a strong base that you can jump off and be ready to fly. This added security will even work wonders for the head of the family; you’ll find yourself ready to be more happy and active than you ever were before. Tired of being defined by your work? Say goodbye to expectations solely being reliant upon your career choice, you are now a grandparent, could there be a more regal title?

Build New Bridges

One of the greatest aspects of grandchildren is that they bring you and your children closer. With your children grown you can now enjoy a closer, adult relationship with them. You’ve moved from the “authority” figure to more of a peer in their eyes. Your children now see you in an entirely different way, because they can come to you for advice which creates more feelings of appreciation and gratitude. Now your children will start to call you more like a friend would for advice or simply to see how your day is going.

Remain Ageless At Any Age

It’s a simple truth. Grandchildren revitalize our spirit. Grandparents have a greater appreciation for life and what makes life truly important—family. Love is absolutely vital to all of us and the kind of love that evolves from being a grandparent would make anyone live longer. Until you experience it for yourself you’ll have no idea what I’m referring too. Trust me the experience is worth any wait.

The Pursuit of Excellence

Is our right. Regardless of age, we all have the opportunity to pursue excellence, which is highly lucrative if you ask me. Excellence is a commitment to yourself. An investment, to help you recapture drive and determination you never knew was lingering beneath the surface. The reverse can be said about a lack of commitment which can devalue your ultimate worth.

We all have an important responsibility and chances are its not listed on your resume. Personal excellence begins and ends with the commitment your willing to make to yourself. You will never be more useful than when you’ve made the commitment to truly help others and yourself with your life.

In order to become the people you are meant to be, you must work towards it everyday, with all your might, you must be willing to set goals and stick to them when others have given up. You must always live in the spirit of personal excellence and never give up.

To live a mediocre life is a choice. This choice can be changed at any time, if your willing to make a COMMITMENT. Unless you choose personal excellence you will receive mediocracy as a default. Lack of decision is a decision in itself, so choose wisely.  

Are you committing career malpractice? You do so when you present things in a mediocre way--without putting your time, commitment, and heart into every project you approach. There is nothing attention grabbing about sticking with the masses and following the path others have laid out for you.

Being “on top of your game” has absolutely nothing to do with your current income level, class, or education. It’s a mindset that can be cultivated. Personal excellence is a destination you arrive at through a commitment to yourself, others, and the legacy you leave behind.  

Being able to demonstrate a pattern of personal excellence is the ultimate seal of approval. It ensures peace of mind and enhances your confidence. It works to combat mediocracy and helps to ensure continual growth.  

Remember that what is considered excellent is always changing. Your best yesterday will have to be better tomorrow, but that’s the price we pay as entrepreneurs. And people expect the best so you must be willing to continually seek new goals if you want to truly encompass a commitment to personal excellence.  

Never rest of your laurels or slack on your commitment. Compromising on quality forces upon us unnecessary mental and emotional strain. If you always do your best you will have absolutely nothing to worry about. Ready to make a new level of commitment to your goals? Subscribe to be blog for more personal excellence tips.

Never Fear 50

“To escape fear, you have to go through it, not around.” ― Richie Norton

Think 50 is the new 40? Think again. Because the type of happiness that a person can experience during this phase is truly on a different level and similar to that of our early 20’s. It seems that happiness follows a “u-shape” with many of us experience a slump in our 30’s and 40’s. Knowing this can help you see growing older more like growing wiser, since the change in perspective we experience allows us to appreciate and in turn gain more from life. 

So what’s the first reason to Never Fear 50 realizing that it’s only a number and success, happiness, family, and friendships only IMPROVE with age. Being happy with yourself regardless of age is the way to look and feel ageless.

Another reason why people fear aging is lack of financial security, and the big 5-0 makes us all realize that retirement isn’t that far away. Does the word retirement create more fear in your mind? 

It’s time to realize that life doesn’t end at fifty, but begin again, which means a new opportunity for career success. It’s never too late to choose your own dream, why not a part-time income option, that allows you to build residual income? Having a plan together for your retirement takes some of the stress out of aging, which in turn, allows you to feel younger.

What’s one thing that only gets better with age? Family. I couldn’t be more thankful for my growing family. From marriages, to grandchildren, the most important reason why life begins again at fifty is the continuation of the family tree and building of legacies. When you can pass on the wisdom you’ve learned than you truly understand life in a different way and can appreciate aging instead of fear it.  

Is your mental picture of 50 starting to change? Never Fearing Fifty is a mindset that can cultivated. Defy aging for your body, mind, and soul by continuing to subscribe to my blog.

Schools Back: Success Tips from the Classroom

"The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows." - Sydney J. Harris

It’s that time of year again and August means one thing, Back-To-School. Even if you aren’t heading back yourself, this time of the year, brings about fresh feelings of optimism as students begin streaming back to campus for the fall semester.

As business owners, it can be easy to fall into these spells of motivation, in the beginning the idea of owning your own business sounds fantastic. You get to choose when and where you work and have creative control over the products/services your provide, but on the reverse side many individuals can’t handle the unpaid hours, determination, and unwavering mental strength that owning a business demands. Luckily for all of us, we can look to these bright-eyed students as inspiration, for the type of mindset we should encompass as entrepreneurs.

Aim High 

Connection is the name of the game for small businesses. By connecting with your customers on a personal level you fill in the gap where big business miss out. Provide excellent customer service and always go the extra mile, and you will quickly see how easy it is to continue to gain repeat businesses.

Do you have goals for yourself when it comes to your customers? Why not set some? These could be simple things like remembering to follow through or checking in to see how they like their new products; either way both roads get the conversation moving with could lead to a new sale as well. Email correspondence and social media posts are also a great way to stay in the back of your customer’s minds.

Make Time for Homework

Most business say they are too busy to keep up with their bookkeeping. Taking the time to actually enter your information and orders into an accounting system each day will actually save you time in the long run. Being on top of your books also gives you more control over your business and a much clear big picture. Cask flow is always a top priority, make the shift towards maintaining control of your finances and see how your business improves.

Mentorship Is Key

Business can get tricky, it takes plenty of determination and hard work but this process can be made easier with a mentor to help you through the tough times. We can all learn and grow from the knowledge that others are willing to share. If someone if willing to be your mentor gladly accept the advice and know that you can learn quite a bit from someone who has already “been there and done that.” Industry connections and insight into present and future goals are just a few of the ways a mentor can help you.

Encourage Stronger Bonds

Let’s face it school is a pretty social affair and for the most part this interacting creates a lot of growth. Business owners aren’t necessarily making friends around the playground, but networking is vital nonetheless. It’ easy to reach out to other small business owners to collaborate on projects and broaden your potential customer base. Make a point to find different business organizations that you could reach out to. Attend in person functions and make sure to meet at least 5 new people. Always carry your business card and follow through by connecting on social networking sites like Facebook and LinkedIn.

Keep a Student’s Mindset

Entrepreneurs should never stop learning! Online courses, reading, and not being intimated by the knowledge others are willing to share. Continued education is the only way to expand your knowledge and expand the products/services you are able to offer. Sharpen your skills to grow your business and keep your mind fresh.

Secret Sauce: Tips from the Track

It’s no secret that NASCAR fans are…loyal to say the least. There seems to be an endless amount of fans that love to watch from their televisions, attend races, and even analyze the sport. NASCAR is able to continually appeal to their loyal fanbase even creating a bit of FANDIMONIEM through advertising, content, reviews, commercials, and other promotions. With an estimated 75 million fans, as business owners, we can all look at the “business” of NASCAR for insight into how to create our own loyal following.

Attracting loyal customers is the easiest way to be successful in any industry. With a large enough customer base you can send out special promotions that are meant to be used exclusively by them or you can send industry related content to gain interest. The possibilities are potentially endless, ONCE you’ve ALREADY gained interest and brand loyalty. Let’s look to a few key elements that NASCAR uses to engage fans in order to create a little extra buzz for our own businesses.

Digital Content Creation 

What has been the biggest change to business over the last decade? The rise of digital content and fall of “traditional” manners of advertising. NASCAR’s success does, in part, have to due with this leap online. With practically everyone having access to the internet today through cell phones, iPADS and other mobile devices—it’s no wonder that it’s known to be the most effective way to introduce new information. Technology has truly revolutionized the sport of NASCAR through video, interviews, and photos. Thanks to the internet a race never ends and instead lives on for people to view again and again.

Even the drivers themselves have the opportunity to directly communicate with their own fans. Instead of fans being able to just look up a driver’s statistics, users can now “follow” a drive on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter for a real behind-the-scenes look into their life. My favorite driver, Brian Scott, recently became a viral video sensation himself thanks to the video from his marriage to Whitney Scott. After the story was picked up in the Huffington Post the wedding vows he made to Whitney and his then three-year-old new stepdaughter, made the online rounds resulting in approximately 7,364,184 views since being published on Youtube in February of 2014.

Viral videos aren’t the only way drivers can appeal to their fans in a recent “Yoga War” with Danica Patrick, Brian Scott joined the viral photo fun by showing his own yoga moves. This photo showcases a lighter side to the driver and let’s his fans see more of his real life persona which creates a deeper connection. Even if you don’t have thousands of followers like Brian Scott, his light-hearted and authentic approach to reaching fans is something to take note of if your building a business.

Sales Promotions

We’ve all heard these two little words. Don’t think your business can skip promotion and STILL be successful. Regardless of the industry you are in, you will need to find a promotion system that works. This could mean partnering with media whether that be radio, print or television. It could also mean more general promotional items like hats, t-shirts, and stickers—the important element to remember is that these items MUST include your LOGO and other information that makes it easy to access your business. I’m an independent brand partner with Nerium International and one of easiest and most fun ways to promote my business is to throw on a Nerium shirt and let people ask me about for more information. 

Sponsorship

Though most of us don’t have a business that can use sponsorship in the way NASCAR can, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t look to this leader in the industry as an example. If you have watched a NASCAR race, then you know the sponsors are difficult to miss but there is a reason for this. Corporate sponsors pay large sums of money for free access to show off their logo to countless fans on race day. This money isn’t simply used the NASCAR association itself, but for car maintenance and repairs, team salary and other elements of the sport. At the end of a race it’s important to remember that NASCAR isn’t functioning simply from fan dollars, but from sponsors who benefits from the connection. In business you can also benefit from mutual connections, if you can’t afford to simply sponsor, why not partner with other businesses to expand your audience. If you have an upcoming in-person event why not ask one or multiple businesses to join you? Combine your efforts through online media and attract a larger audience for your next event, without a budget, but with the added benefit of working mutual business connections.

Promote the Experience

NASCAR is about the experience and the ultimate experience for NASCAR fans is attending a live race. Let’s face it selling out races is good for business which is why portraying the experience is so crucial, but its not just about selling tickets. Attending a race shows fans that it can be about more than sitting around a television, if they’re willing to get involved. 

Once the customer is engaged in the process a stronger connection is built resulting in a higher chance of buying a NASCAR themed product or attending a live race again. Being successful in business is about promoting more than just your product or service. Put people into the equation and you will engage your consumers at a higher level. As a Nerium Brand Partner I encourage my team to attend as many “live” events as possible. This could mean a weekly Market Partner or attending our Regional Training either way as a new or seasoned Brand Partner its crucial to stay involved in the experience.

Golf Your Ball

“Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them -- a desire, a dream, a vision.” Muhammad Ali

And what a powerful vision must have lead the incredible Muhammad Ali. Can you even begin to comprehend the focus that must have driven the legendary athlete? Those of you who know me, know, I may be a bit competitive (in a good way of course) but this drives comes from the fact that I have played sports my whole life, and know the determine it takes to win ;)

Over the years I’ve learned the difference between a good performance and a great one in sports, is in your MIND! Its your ability to focus in the moment and maintain sustained focus throughout the game, tournament, or round. 

And to maintain energy....well, I have been taking EHT for almost two months, and I must say, that my concentration, focus and energy throughout the golf tournaments I have played in is simply amazing!!! In sports and life in general focus plays a vital but not easily understood role. If you could improve your overall approach to heath, but most importantly, your brain health would you?

Our brain plays a large role in the age we feel. Everything from speech, movement, memory and even decision making are all guided by this powerful organ. As we age, experience stress, or cause damage to our brains the connections between these neurons weaken, and these essential conveyors of information can become unhealthy or even die.

Fortunately for all of us after 20 years of research out of Dr. Jeffry Stock’s Princeton University labs a discovery was made that can help protect the neuronal integrity of your brain and this breakthrough is called EHT. I wish I had this stuff a few years ago when I was playing very serious, competitive golf and racquetball!!! It's not too late for me or for you!! Contact me to get yours.

Mind Over Matter

“Truly, ‘thoughts are things” and powerful things at that, when they are mixed with definiteness of purpose, persistence, and a burning desire for their translation into riches, or other material objects.” -Napoleon Hill, Think And Grow Rich 

In his famous guide to achieving riches through changes in thought patterns, Napoleon Hill, credits Edwin C Barnes for the discovering. This legendary discovery into the principles and practices of extraordinary gains in material wealth began when Barnes had not just a wanting but a BURNING DESIRE to be an associate to the great inventor. 

So what is the difference between wanting something and having a BURNING DESIRE you may be thinking? A primary difference is whether or not one possess a definite purpose. It is not enough to simply want something in life, a person needs to be willing to state, specifically, what he/she wants before that desire can ever begin to manifest.

Have you ever had a desire flash through your mind? A dream you thought could NEVER happen so you let it slip by. The next time this happens pay close attention to it. Because you see, a desire can not become an idealized dream unless it is intentionally remembered and then acted upon. Try not to focus on the “difficulties” that could potentially block you from achieving any form of desire, you just have to be willing to put in the work.

As quoted from the famous Napoleon Hill, “What a different story men would tell if only they would adopt a definite purpose, and stand by that purpose until it had time to become an all-consuming obsession!” Yes it may seem strange but OBSESSION is precisely the right word. Without an unwavering, overly-enthusiastic approach to any goal in life it will NEVER manifest. You have to be willing to risk anything and everything in order to have “it” whatever “it” maybe. You may only see a weed at first but if you keep working towards your obsession you will create something beautiful. 

Finally, to further quote Hill, “One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat. Every person is guilty of this mistake at one time or another.” If the author himself can admit to moments of temporary defeat, we all need to see how these obstacles impact our own lives. You see, without setback, we would not be growing, improving, and reaching towards the personal we were meant to become. Obstacles come into our lives to test our strength. Make sure your putting your strength to the test.

Advice from the Speedway

“In order to win one of these NASCAR XFINITY Series races, we need to be 100%. We haven’t been that yet. We’ll get there and finally win one of these things.” -Brian Scott

As a NASCAR driver, Brian Scott, knows a thing or two about operating at TOP EFFICIENCY and as entrepreneurs we can all look to superstars in high performance industries, as inspiration for our own careers.

Efficiency Plays A Key Role in Success

Speaking of operating at top EFFICIENCY…is your workplace clean and organized? Then how can you expect your business to run in an efficient manner? Organization begins and manifests in our own lives though the decisions we make, and if your choosing to live in chaos your business will be a reflection of this choice. Keeping the system clean really is critical in NASCAR and if we want our businesses to prosper as entrepreneurs. When you keep everything clean you can also identify a problem easier, making the potential for an accident, slightly lower by upping your own odds of success. 

Think VALUE not Cost

Being economical in business doesn’t necessarily mean being cheap. Success in entrepreneurship parallels with being able to see the value in a particular opportunity and making a smart decision for your future finances and business success. NASCAR is a very difficult “business” to make it in, talent isn’t enough, it’s about being able to gain the right tools and experience to dominate the track. Being a business owner myself, I can say that without the tools, resources, and equipment at my expense that I currently have, I wouldn’t have been able to grow a successful team.

I chose to become a Nerium Brand Partner because I fully believe in the products, opportunity, and training this unique company has provided me with. I now have a vehicle to achieve personal excellence and financial freedom on my own terms and I couldn’t be more thankful for that. I believe this is especially true in regards to our Young Entrepreneur Program, you see, young adults have unlimited potential to achieve success from an early age. But to have this opportunity the equipment needs to be the BEST it can be. That’s why our business model works for your continual growth and improvement regardless if your 18 or 68.

Core Values Are Key:

Nascar has a strong element of family involved and many drivers have their families involved on race day and beyond. It’s also built upon legacies. The sport has been passed from generation to generation and thrives when being “handed down”. This support plays a critical role in each racer’s success because support is a “tool” for success just as much an anything physical. Support also plays a critical role in starting your own business. Some people fear being alone and having no encouragement along the way. 

Fortunately for hard-working entrepreneurs there is a vehicle to achieve a lifestyle you may have only dreamed of before. I’ve built a team of hard-working, innovative entrepreneurs and you can join our support system.

Work Happy = Live Happy

Are you happy in your current line of work? Notice I didn’t ask are you financially stable in your field of work? Because happiness and money are not exclusively linked. Time is our most precious resource and once its gone no one can get it back. Fortunately for everyone more innovative companies are becoming aware that energy is renewable. 

It often seems like everyone is wearing themselves out, exhausted, and depleted their own “energy storages” in order to make it through the day. This stress impedes are productivity and ultimately our happiness. To borrow a term from Tony Schwartz, founder of The Energy Project, “The way we’re working isn’t working.” He solidifies this statement with Four Core Needs that smallest changes can support.

Physical Health 

Emotional Health 

Mental Focus

Spiritual Purpose 

“What we are beginning to see enacted in corporations across the country is nothing short of a paradigm shift,” Tony Says. Employers are beginning to see and understand that employees need more than a paycheck to find happiness, success, and fulfillment in life.

The old way of doing business where corporations promote endless work hours and offer no form of balance between employee home and work life doesn’t have to be the only option you have. Even researchers are solidifying that the people who never take vacation days are on the fast track to burnout, which only results in income lost for both parties.

Where does that leave someone who wants to make a change? If your ready for a break from the old ways of doing business and ready to create a ripple in a company that impresses this paradigm shift, the Nerium Opportunity could be the right fit for you.

I’ve transformed not only my life but my friends and family’s as well with this unique vehicle to build your dream. As a Brand Partner you’ll enjoy...

Lessons Of The Game

“The only way to win tournaments is with the short game. Over half your shots out here are within 30 or 40 yards. Ballstriking is where I'm trying to improve, yes, but more to eliminate big numbers than make birdies.” -Phil Mickelson

Professional golfer Phil Mickelson, argues choosing the right shot for each situation is the first of many steps on the road to success, both on the golf course and in life. Miss your shot and you will miss the mark entirely. In order to find true success one must always be equipped with choosing the best shot for the position.  

In regards to business, instead of taking the right shot, you must choose the right “tool” in each situation. That tool could be anything from choosing a business strategy to hiring a team to help get your vision off the ground. The “tool” that’s the right fit for your business in a particular situation can be different from what is right for another business in a similar situation. This is true in regards to the game of golf as well and if you look close enough you may see how the lessons you learn on the golf course could directly impact your entrepreneurial career. 

You Will Work HARDER Than You Ever Thought…

Often times entrepreneurs have one thing in common, a large degree of inexperience, because no one realizes how tough running their own business is until it actually HAPPENS. Let’s face it running a business is hard but you can make it easier on yourself with the right perspective. There’s no better experience than DOING. So start today and see where you succeed and fail. Be patient and don’t forget the more you practice the better you will become. How do you think professional athletes achieve their level of success and accomplishment? Because they’re willing to put in the DAILY effort, year and year, to transform themselves from mundane to extraordinary. You will not find an athlete or business professional that did not put in days and WORK.

Strategy Is Key

When watching professional tournaments, you’ll see players or caddies walking around the course before a round is played. Think you know why this is? The greatest players discover the position of the holes and then any potential problems. After analyzing the field, the best of the best, will carefully start developing a strategy for how every hole is played. The same can be said about running a business.

Find The Right Job For You

Ever wonder why professional golfers don’t carry their own bag? Because that’s not their “job” at least during a tournament. Have you ever stopped to wonder why that is? It’s not the right fit. The golfer needs to focus on completing the course using as few strokes as possible. Many caddies are accomplished golfers themselves but their best contribution may come in the form of strategizing difficult shots rather than taking them his/herself. Every business owner needs to do the same. You must surround yourself with people that inspire you to function at your highest level.

Adversity Will Factor In 

I’ll let you in on a little secret. No golfer will tell you’ve they’ve played a perfect round. The truth is you will always make a few mistakes on the golf course and in life. Even the best rounds typically have one or two shots that will put you in a difficult position. The trick is to  focus and not let those one or two bad shots effect the ones that come after. If you are running your own business, there will be some surprises that take you off guard and have a negative impact on you. The most important factor to remember is to stat focused on where you need to go and don’t let a bad shot here or there take you out of the game mentally.

Start slow, finish strong.

Business owners, particularly entrepreneurs can easily where themselves out if they don’t start out with the right amount of stamina. Doubt can very easily over power one’s mind the trick is learning to use it to your advantage. Golf fanatics will often tell you championships are decided “on the back nine”. Which is more or less saying start slow but finish strong. Build momentum until the end and you will be successful.

Owning your own business will be one of the toughest things you WILL EVER do. The beginning will probably not go smoothly, how you imagined, or attempted to schedule but that’s part of the fun.   Don’t give up, if you put in daily work towards your goals and always remember to dream big you will be successful in the end.

If you’ve always dreamed of having the opportunity to own your business, choose your hours and where you work along the way, contact me for a real opportunity to achieve financial freedom.

The Secret of High Achievers

“High achievers spot rich opportunities swiftly, make big decisions quickly and move into action immediately. Follow these principles and you can make your dreams come true.” -Robert H. Schuller

Do you consider yourself truly successful? If not NOW might be the time to take a step back from yourself and look to others in order to determine WHAT those whom you deem successful do differently. Success isn’t simply measured in financial terms, the kind of SUCCESS I’m talking about encompasses all areas of life. From your health, to your relationships, and most importantly your overall philosophy towards life—success is managing all of these factors while taking a step forward to improve your life each day.

The hard truth is so many people are not just struggling to be successful, they are struggling to keep themselves “afloat” all together and there’s every excuse for this. But there is also an opportunity to achieve more if you will take a few minutes to learn how a slight change in your philosophy can help you achieve “success” you’ve only dreamed of before.

Now you might be wondering what is The Secret of Impossible Achievers and the hidden truth is what I directly referenced above; your philosophy or your outlook towards life. This will either place you along the ripple with the impossible achievers or down the “regret” curve with the majority of people who believe their success, happiness, and well-being can be found another way. 

The impossible achievers know they are not more talented than any other person they simply have the determination and are willing to put in DAILY effort to get what they want. Do you have a BIG goal in mind? This milestone isn’t impossible to achieve but your outlook could hold you back. Instead of giving up next time you hit a road block re-examine the goal by breaking it down into smaller “steps” that can be implanted on a daily basis. 

This is a critical step because you have to trust that these small steps will lead to the larger goal. Those impossible achievers trust in and believe in there dreams so strongly that they have no choice but to manifest.

Now let’s review The Secret of Impossible Achievers

Positive Philosophy + Daily Execution of Goal + Overriding Belief in Dream

The secret really is that simple when you break it down. With this change in philosophy you may also want to give yourself an opportunity to achieve more. I’ve found a vehicle for achieving financial freedom and personal excellence and I can help you find your “tribe” as well. Don’t wait, ask me about the Nerium Opportunity today.

Applying the Law of Associations

“Birds of a feather flock together.” We’re all aware of this familiar saying, but are you aware of the true impact of the Law of Associations? 

If you’re ready to take an objective look at your life than this post could help you associate yourself with people who have the right state of mind for attracting success while avoiding the people who are going to bring you down, litteraly. When examining your life it may be difficult to analyze your close friends and family objectively, but this is precisely the step you NEED to take in order for the Law Of Associations to correctly unfold in your life.  

The missing “piece” to your personal financial success could be a mater of association. I’ll let you in on a little secret, your income often equals the average incomes of your three closest friends. This principle doesn’t just apply to finances, whether you like it or not, it operates in every facet of life. 

Think your health and overall well-being has nothing to do with the people you surround yourself with? Think again! Your health, your personal development, and even your creative aspirations will tend to average that of your three closest friends. 

We all understand this principle, that’s why the saying “Birds of a feather flock together.” is in itself, inherently true. The way you talk, walk, think, act and dress; all have to do and are influenced by your own main group of “influencers.” 

If your “main influencers” are constantly complaining and have an overall negative philosophy, how do you expect to remain in a positive state of mind? Taking the time and effort to surround yourself with positive people is the only way to maintain a positive life. Now is the time to become extremely aware of who you are associating with and their influence’s overall impact on your life. 

This step is about finding the right balance. There is no need to cut people out of your life entirely, unless you feel it is necessary to do so. The trick is finding shifting your priorities, timing wise, in order to create balance on your own path. Limit the amount of time you spend around negative influences and try your best to spend more time with the people who inspire and encourage you. 

I’ve been lucky enough to surround myself with an entire team of positive influencers, mentors, and friends thanks to the unique Nerium opportunity. We believe teamwork makes the dream work and we inspire each other everyday to achieve more. If your ready to take a leap of faith and choose your life, ask me how joining the “Dream Builders” can help!
