Replace: Any…
Practical Steps to Success #8: Recognize the Dance of Destruction
I met with a client a few months ago; we discussed his business, his trials and setbacks. His long term goals were very vague. He was more interested in immediate ‘cash flow’ right now than planning and saving for the future. After talking for about two hours, he decided to ‘give it one more year’.
So, what does that really mean? It means; he is not going to change a…
Practical Steps to Success #7: Visit Your Nucleus, and Get Results
Do you ever find yourself making a decision too quickly? Being pressured to answer a question, sign a contract or delegate tasks all need 100% of your attention. (Particularly when you estimate how many people’s lives could be affected by this one decision.)
In this fast paced world, do we have the luxury of asking for an extra day to think about it? Can you ask for more information…
Practical Steps to Success #6: Avoid the Train Wreck
Let’s face it, our lives are busy. Without any effort, our sub-conscious picks up so much “extra stuff” to process. “Extra stuff” translates into stress. Too much stress can overload your brain.
Stress reduction is SO important, and it is not so easy; whether you are commuting, meeting friends or actually trying to work. Your brain is gathering information all the time! Often, juggling clients or projects can be like ‘changing…
Practical Steps for Success # 5: The Vision
When you were younger, did you ever wonder about the future? Did you ever figure that you would end up where you are now? Some kids knew exactly what they wanted to be. And others just fell into the work force.
Many people, including me, had to find a back-up plan more than once. It is never too late to plan.
Have you heard of a Vision Board? It is a tangible…
Practical Steps to Success #4: Listen for the Pregnant Pause
A large portion of the population today are ‘plugged in’, getting to and from their work place each day. It has become routine to see everyone connected to another world while going about the daily mundane chores. Perhaps, some are enhancing their lives with ‘background’ noise. Perhaps, this is becoming too much of a social norm.
As an observer, I wonder while I cross the street: If I ask for…
Practical Steps for Success #3 : Want to Act Like a Pro? Jump in!
Have you known someone that ‘all of a sudden’ jumps into a new hobby/sport and goes out to spend wildly on ‘the outfit’, the tools and all the bells?
Have you ever seen something so crazy? Well, the ‘jumping in’ attitude shows THEY ARE COMMITTED! It can be crazy, expensive, and it can be a surprise to watch. In reality, something has changed: they are trying…
Fire People have Energy to Burn
Do you remember the last time you were really passionate about something? It could have been something quiet; perhaps a breath-taking view of the lake? Or, more emotional; such as standing up for someone who was falsely accused?
The fire element, in feng shui, is represented by the colour red and generally shows up in the Fame or Wealth areas of the home. These areas of your home are definitely hot, as they…
Wealth and abundance are measured different by everyone. Wealth, in terms of feng shui, speaks of luck, fortune and abundance. These things won’t materialize without some sort of effort on our part; fortunes don’t fall out of the sky very often. We need to define what we are seeking in order to find what we are looking for. Luck, fortune and abundance can be found in many forms.
In order to change something in our lives, we need to initiate…
Life is more than the routine work/home/sleep cycle. Whether we realize it or not, our lives are sorted into a plethora of accountabilities; personal areas, health and family, children, relationships, creative hobbies, spiritual growth, continuing education and learning, domestic chores, holidays, crisis management, hockey or soccer games and personal recreation. This is a lot to maintain! For personal growth and optimum health one needs to find the balance.
Feng shui has a tool called the ba-gua, which divides the life…
