Achieve Success with Practice, Practice, Practice

Practice is the doing to achieve success. Sounds pretty simple. It is. If you want to be good at anything, you need to practice it. By practicing you are creating new habits and truly learning. Words do not teach, doing teaches.

So whatever it is you want to be, do or have, you have to practice at it. For example, to practice being a great employer. Every day is a new day to "practice" being better than before. You know what to do, just practice it every day. Don't beat yourself up if you at first are not good at it. It will come, just keep practicing.

All day long you get to practice at getting better and better than before. Today is a magnificent day for you to start. If you want to practice at being a healthier person, you know what to do. Just practice and before long you are now learning, just because you are doing.

Look at what you are doing every day as a practice. Even the final competitions you may be part of is just a practice. What is the result of all this practice is new habits and also now you have changed the way you are looking at things. Your perspective of life is that this is a learning process by doing. There is lots of fun in the practice, the pressure is off, you can relax and enjoy the learning that much better.

The only way to learn to achieve success is by doing, and all we really are is practicing. So go out today and practice what you desire to be, do or have.

January "Blahs" Become An Opportunity for Appreciation

Turn the feeling of the January blahs into an opportunity for appreciation of yourself. Pick one room in your home and clean it out. (I did my en-suite bathroom this week as an example) You don’t have to pressure yourself and do the whole house, you can do a small area, like the corner of a room.

Give away the dust collectors, throw away the old bottles of product, rearrange the furniture, plants, wall pictures, give away your clothes you did not wear last year, increase the lighting or swap lamps, anything to make the room look like a picture in a magazine! Or like a hotel room (with lots of drawer & closet space!) For your office area, clean off the desk! Put your in-box and out-box trays on the filing cabinet behind you so you don’t have it in front of you. Rearrange your office furniture if possible, but have your office looking like all the work is done!

Now sit in that room. Enjoy what you have opened up for yourself. One room is done, the clutter that was there is now gone. Feel appreciation of what you have…what you are capable of doing…feel appreciation for yourself…remember how appreciation feels like and carry that with you throughout this month and then from there for the rest of your life (one room at a time).

Uplift Others With The Power Of Thank You Cards

Uplift others with the power of thank you cards. It is so nice at this time of year to receive Christmas cards but what about the other times of the year? There are so many opportunities to send out thank you cards to people. It is never too late to send out a thank you card or a note of appreciation in the mail, because it puts out a wonderful vibration of good will.

The idea of sending out cards of gratitude is to express your feelings so that the other person then feels good too. Passing along gratitude is a benefit to the whole society. Don't expect anything in return, remember you are passing along good feeling intentions.

Mail them out as often as you can and remember that to send it in the mail is the best way. Emails and phone messages are not nearly as powerful as a card sent by post. It takes more effort to write out a card and mail it but what may only take a few minutes of your time once a week goes along way to make someone else feel the vibration of gratitude. Just keep it in mind during the week and once a week make it a habit to send out a card or two.

So pass along good feelings whenever you can. Mail out cards to thank those who perform service for you or have had you over for drinks! It is the thought that counts. Choose to do thoughts with gratitude regularly and see for yourself the power of gratitude.

Are You Listening To Your Intuition?

Are you listening to your intuition?

What does that mean you might ask? Well, we all have an inner dialogue from time to time about certain things in our lives. Often we feel a strong desire to do something and the thought keeps haunting us until either the moment expires and you do not do anything about it or you do take action as a result.

The intuition may only be a feeling of something nagging you or a vivid image of something you desire. As everything in life, we have choices about responding and acting or just choosing to do things without thinking (habits). The intuition I am referring to is very helpful if you choose to listen. I will give an example of a true story.

I know of a guy who has behind his backfence a ditch which he planted some small trees. This past summer he had a duck nest behind his fence. He avoided mowing the grass around these little trees beside the ditch so he would not disturb the duck on her nest! Finally, the ducklings hatched and left the area. The grass needed cutting badly as it hid the trees. This gentleman had "a nagging desire" to trim the grass around the trees but put it off a few days. It was a constant thought for him as he retold me the story of how he chose not to act due to the weather conditions and his work schedule. By the time he got around to cutting the grass, the grass was cut down along with his little trees by the community workers. He was aghast and shocked however if he had responded to his intuition earlier in the week, he would have saved those little trees and cut the grass in his area so that the trees would not have been mowed down.

Listen to your intuition and ACT on it. It feels like your are being nagged. You may even think about it for days sometimes. There is a very strong pull towards acting, so listen to your intuition and follow it. You will then have much happier outcomes in life!

Is Happiness A Choice?

Is happiness a choice? Can you choose happiness?

You can be in control once you realize that your thoughts and only your thoughts is the only thing on earth you have complete control over. It is impossible to control the thoughts of anyone else. If you asked 50 people who know you what there thoughts were of you as an example, you would get 50 different responses to that question. Everyone's own thoughts are their own.

So now you are aware that thoughts are your own and you can control what you are thinking. By thinking positively in stressful moments, leaders are born. You feel victory after the moment because you stayed positive.

When you think a thought in direct result of present circumstances you are only reacting and not in control. But regardless of the circumstance you are in, if you find a positive thought you are no longer reacting, you are creating a new opportunity for the future. Positive thoughts to the current situation is prepaving for the future.

So by thinking thoughts for future moments you are believing in yourself. From this vantage point, your positive thoughts will reflect forward into your future and when the future becomes the present moment, it is much easier to be happy because the future is one of positive choices.

However, it should be taught to everyone that by reacting negatively only to the present moment you are not creating positive results for future moments. A negative feeling involkes more negative results. STOP the cycle. Realize that at every moment of your day you can choose how you REACT to your present circumstances.

I agree it is impossible to go from depression to JOY in one fell swoop, but you can choose a better feeling emotion once you realize you are in control. You can go from depression to anger and actually start to feel better. But don't linger there too long. Once you feel a little better, think of a solution, and don't beat yourself up. There have been so many other people who have gone through the same situations you have and have made it. You can too.

Recognize when you feel angry to find a better feeling thought. Perhaps it may be revenge, which may help you feel a little bit better. Then from that state, move to a better feeling emotion. After revenge, you may feel hopeful. After feeling hopeful for awhile you may feel belief and by focusing on what you are thinking you can find a solution because now you have belief.

AWARENESS: Just being aware of how thoughts you think right now will bring into your future moments the results you are currently processing. So be careful or mindful of what your present state of thinking is as those negative thoughts prepave your future.

Don't judge yourself too harshly. In fact, from this point on erase your mistakes by pressing the RESET button and say from now on you will think only better feeling thoughts.

Some helpful hints of feeling better is if you can get outside and spend at least 5 minutes and feel the wind, the sun or smell the freshness of outdoors just to help you feel better and relax. Music can be uplifting as well as reading or doing an activity which pleases you. The distraction takes the drama out of life and allows you to focus once again on feeling good.

Happiness is a choice. Reread this blog and always feel good about you. Email Michelle Wojnowski at Michelle@InspiredAbundance.com for the complete works of the 7 Steps to Happiness e-course.

Is There A Fun Way To Teach Yourself How To Think Wealth Creation?

I discovered a fun way to learn how to generate wealth when I first started my path to success a couple of years ago.

Before I had achieved financial success I had come to believe that wealth was a lot of hard work and years of education if you were not born with a silver spoon in your mouth.

One of the fun ways I learned how to become thinking like a successful business entrepreneur was to play a board game, called "Cashflow". It is created by Robert Kiyosaki, a best selling author of Rich Dad Poor Dad series of books.

My husband and I started to play this game on Saturday nights along with friends and family members. Both Warren, my husband, and I truly got the whole idea of starting business partnerships and thinking of better ways that generate income passively, so that we have the mindset of having wealth coming to us in monthly payments and not having to work for a paycheck.

This game truly is designed to help reduce your inability to make decisions, increase your confident level in discussions about finances, and increase the total awareness of how many different ways you can create wealth in your life. If you want to be a millionaire/billionaire, you have to open your mind to their way of thinking. By playing the game over countless times, you are creating new thought patterns. You are thinking like a millionaire! In the game, you are making business decisions over and over again and the repeating action generates a more confident ability in making decisions outside of the game and in your every day life.

Financial success in life is all about making decisions on the spot. When faced with a decision, the longer it takes you to make the decision, the more likely you will talk yourself out of making the decision, which actually is a decision. Not making a decision is the same as saying no. Business entrepreneurs make decisions all the time. To become a millionaire you need to be comfortable with your decisions.

So now you have a tool in your tool box. If you want to think like a millionaire get the game and start playing it, a lot. It truly is a fun way to think wealth creation.

How to Start A Home Business

How to start a home business?

Okay, so you decided that to get control of those bills you need to get some extra money working for you. You have already looked at changing jobs, changing careers, and you keep coming back to this thought.

It really is quite natural to come to an idea like becoming your own boss, working from home, not having to deal with parking!!! Yes, working from home does sound good, but what would be ideal? Most people would at this point look around them for clues.

#1. Mentors. Do you know of anyone working from home? Most likely not. For they are home and not commuting back and forth like you. Those people shop during the day, not on the way home from work! Get proper information from those who make lots of money! Don't get advice from someone who makes $25K a year.

#2. Resources. There are lots of books on the book shelves about working from home, starting businesses, networking, investing, etc. The very first book we purchased was Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. This booked opened up our eyes about the way we earn money and how to create wealth properly. It started us on a reading bonanza. The internet has lots of information available but by reading first, you are educating yourself, for us, it was the first step.

#3. Your business-- is it selling something or providing a service? Pretty simple isn't it? You are either selling a product to someone for money or providing a service to someone for money. The point is we get money from other people. You will have to be able ask people to pay you. Can you do that? So now you have to decide what type of business you want to part of. This is the fun part! Your search. Remember to focus on what it is you do want, to have a financial goal so that you get a business that is a perfect match to what you want.


Important note: Line up credit to start a business. If you were to start a home business without a source of capital you will have to fund the business from your own pocket, which is not a wise thing to do. Have a business plan with the list of expenses you will incur during your first 12 months of business. Borrow the money which will cover ALL expenses including borrowing enough to pay the cost of borrowing!


Have fun enjoying the life of a business entrepreneur. That is how to start a home business!
