5 Phrases to Remove From Your Vocabulary Today!

Image
By:  Gary Douglas “Think before you speak” is more of a truth than we realize. Most of us are unaware of how language creates our life. Asking for a new job or a relationship and having it show up requires more than just positive thinking, according to Access Consciousness® founder Gary Douglas, who works with people worldwide on how to use language to create what they truly desire. The words and phrases you use have a vibration. The first language on earth is energy. If your life is not how you would like it to be, you can change your life by changing the words and phrases you use every day. Most of us are unaware that we are entrained to use words and phrases that limit us. The universe is literal. We are still using words and phrases that have a surprising power to stop our creations. This is one reason the Law of Attraction tools and positive thinking often don’t work,” asserts Douglas. 1. Stop saying ‘I want…’ There are 26 (pre-1946) dictionary definitions o...

Abby McCloskey As 2014 winds to a close, I’m reminded of how much can change in 12 months. The year began with an economic contraction and ended with growth roaring at 5% . Oil prices fell from over $100 a barrel to $56 a barrel, putting an extra $108 billion into consumers’ pockets. The unemployment rate dropped from 6.6% to 5.8% as approximately one million Americans found jobs or gave up looking for work. The New Year will bring even more change, for good or for ill. From interest rates to the new Republican majority, here are five things that could signif...

65 Quotes That Will Dare You to Do Great Things

Image
    By Lolly Daskal                  At some point in life we're all faced with a decision of whether to take a risk. Whether it's leaving a miserable job, moving to a different position that stretches you, starting your own business, or even taking on a tricky new assignment, greatness requires risk. Whether you succeed or fail, the act of taking a risk will stretch you and give you faith in yourself-- and the confidence to do even more. Maybe we're meant to do things that scare us so we can build greatness in ourselves. Allow these amazing quotes to dare you: 1. "Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." --Mark Twain 2. "When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be." --Lao Tzu 3. "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go."...

Nature yields her most profound secrets to those who are determined to uncover them.

 The field of science is perhaps the best illustration of how success always seems to come to those who apply the principle of accurate thinking in a persistent, determined effort. America’s great inventor Thomas A. Edison is said to have failed 10,000 times in his attempt to develop a workable electric light bulb. He learned from each failure and refused to quit until he succeeded. Breakthroughs occur every day because a determined person continues to search for solutions to complex problems long after everyone else has given up and gone home. You may not invent the light bulb or the next supercomputer, but you can find creative solutions to old problems if you apply the proven principles of success consistently and persistently.

5 Ways Leaders Think Differently Than The Rest Of Us

Leaders have some common traits when it comes to how they approach problems, information, and other people. By Gwen Moran While there are no definitive brain scans that show differences in the way leaders’ grey matter works, there is some consensus that leaders have some commonalities in how they think about the world. From their belief systems to the way they approach challenges, leadership thinking seems rooted in analysis and improvement. Kari H. Keating , Ph.D., a teaching associate at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who studies leadership, coauthored an October 2014 study which supported existing research that leaders are made, not born. Expanding on work by leadership researcher Bruce J. Avolio which found that leadership ability is roughly 30% genetic and 70% learned, Keating and her colleagues...

Mentally Strong People: The 13 Things They Avoid

Editors’ Note: Following the huge popularity of this post, article source Amy Morin has authored a guest post on exercises to increase mental strength here and Cheryl Conner has interviewed Amy in a Forbes video chat about this article here . For all the time executives spend concerned about physical strength and health, when it comes down to it, mental strength can mean even more. Particularly for entrepreneurs, numerous articles talk about critical characteristics of mental strength—tenacity, “grit,” optimism, and an unfailing ability as Forbes contributor David Williams says, to “fail up.” However, we can also define mental strength by identifying the things mentally strong individuals don’t do. Over the weekend, I was impressed by this list compiled by Amy Morin, a psychotherapist and licensed clinical social worker ,  that she shared in LifeHack . It impressed me enough I’d also like to share her list here along with my thoughts on how each of these items is particularly...

These quotes can help. They will inspire you as we enter the new year and the next half-decade. What can you become more passionate about?

1. "One of the things that may get in the way of people...is that they're not in touch with their passion. If you're passionate about what it is you do, then you're going to be looking for everything you can to get better at it." Jack Canfield 2. "It is never too late to be what you might have been." George Eliot 3. "Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears." Les Brown 4. "The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire." Ferdinand Foch 5. "I think I overcame every single one of my personal shortcomings by the sheer passion I brought to my work. If you love your work, you'll be out there every day trying to do it the best you possibly can, and pretty soon everybody around will catch the passion from you--like a fever." Sam Walton 6. "If you want to be successful in a particular field of endeavor, I think perseverance is one of the key qualities. It's very im...

Napoleon Hill - Good Morning!

Mutual confidence is the foundation of all satisfactory human relationships.  Most of us have two basic questions about others when we enter into a relationship. They are: Can I trust you? And, do you really care about me? Depending upon our previous success in partnerships with others — personal or business — the answers may be slow in coming. Confidence in another is often developed gradually as those involved in the relationship commit themselves to each other’s success and happiness. Although trust and confidence are the basic underpinnings of all successful relationships, they are fragile. A relationship that has endured for months or even years can be irreparably damaged by a few unkind words or a single thoughtless act. Don’t allow yourself to act in haste or to lose control of your emotions in important relationships. Napoleon Hill

Electric Cowboy

I had a very interesting meeting with Marshall Till the owner of the Electric Cowboy (Wild horse in Topeka). Last year was one of the worst years in the last 5 years in the night club business.   Top three reasons might surprise you. 1. Internet dating sites – don’t need the bars to find dates. 2. Social media – check ins on Facebook – women will go to the place where the guys are hanging. 3. Credit card debt – blue collar customer getting tapped out on credit cards.    I leased 13,000 sqf vacant old theater in Topeka 12 years ago. The deal was started by Mike Vigloa for a deal that was gong to be the Country Opera 4 years earlier. Marshall took the building 'is as where is" leveled out the floor and made a great night club. We looked at West Ridge Mall for a mall concept. This looks promising. Henry McClure
