Middle Class talks about people and things while Millionaires talk about ideas. Watch this video as I discuss in detail this one distinction. This 10 day mindset series is critical to your success if you are a new entrepreneur or even a seasoned one. I provide a thorough 6 week Mastery Course on social media but if you do not have the right mindset, you will not get very far.

Do you really believe you can do anything you want to do? Or… did you believe somewhere along the way that you can’t? Watch this video as I address that very point.

Someone shared this video as a Tweet and it was so powerful I had to pay it forward. No lengthy post here… I just want you to ask yourself 3 questions:
1. Are you living to your full potential?
2. Has this video changed your perspective on what your full potential is?
3. Have you ever considered that you can never find out what your full potential is until you push the so-called ‘limits’.
You can never know how high you can soar until you spread your wings and jump off.
Scroll down and leave me your answers.

I wanted to share this with you. My father-in-law is over our house right now and brought his video that he took from 4th of July fireworks this year. We were with him but did not realize he was video taping.
Let me tell you a little about him. He is over today because today is his 70th birthday! This man has had 5 strokes and a heart attack and is still living strong.
The last stoke he had was a month after our 4 year old son was born. It took his ability to speak. He has had years of speech therapy but is still limited in his communication.
As you watch this video of the fireworks, that is his voice you hear. He said in his 70 years, this was the best fireworks display he has seen in his entire life!
This got me to thinking…
What is waiting for us that may take us a lifetime to experience it at its best?
Is it worth it to keep living and surviving and overcoming even in some of life’s serious circumstances?
My father-in-law Norman thinks so! Since his last stroke he has seen his grandchildren grow up and had another one come along. He is someone that truly appreciates life and knows for a fact that he is still on this earth breathing and experiencing life for a reason. It is so clear with all of his near death illnesses that he is supposed to be here.
So I ask you today? What are you here to do? What is your purpose? What is it that you are meant to experience and appreciate?
Share your thoughts!

Well, let me start out by saying… if anything, you’ll want to keep coming back to this blog for the great music 
I am a HUGE Kool & The Gang fan. Anyway…
I chose this song because I was sitting outside this morning just CHERISHING the moment and I wanted to share it with you.
Do you ever sense when something really big is about to happen to your life? And the best part is that I get to bring anyone with me that chooses to do so.
Will you go back with me for a moment? Over the last 10 years since my husband and I have been together, we have been on this journey through life and business. We have always worked for ourselves and have owned several businesses… some with huge success and some not so great. BUT, everything was a learning and growing experience and has shaped me into who I am today. We have made some tremendous sacrifices that other people would (and have) thought were crazy.
So recently a lot of things have just been coming into alignment. Our current business project is about to launch and there is so much energy being created and dispersed. It’s like what we have sacrificed is being returned WITH INTEREST!
Please so not take this that I am bragging. Everything is still based on faith at this point.
I am making this point about the word CHERISH! I see now that when you truly cherish your life and postpone some gratification and help people as opposed to running on selfish ambition… you will be hansomely and generously rewarded. It is really amazing! In the movie The Secret, they use the term “attitude of gratitude” and there really is some weight in that phrase. Not a “moment of gratitude” or “a few minutes of gratitude”… ATTITUDE is a part of your energy and core.
So consider the word Cherish today. I would love to hear your comments on the word.

Life is an amazing journey. I say journey because there is a destination I am pursuing but the roads keep changing.
I have always been the type of person that likes things to be consistent. Not to say that I am the best at keeping a schedule and regiment but I do find consistency to be comfortable.
I have found, however, a correlation between comfortable and stagnant. In my own life, when I am comfortable, my life is not really growing a whole lot. Things may be predictable, which is comforting, but the unexpected is really where growth occurs.
I watch a lot of Disney movies with my kids and I am usually impressed at the message. In Ratatouilli, my favorite scene is between the dad rat and his son. The son is looking to do something very different with his life than anyone else in his family. The son is looking to branch out and become more of society while the dad wants him to stay within his rat community. The son has to point out to the dad (don’t kids teach us some big lessons?) that change is nature.
Change is what shows that we are growing.
Change is what keeps us aware of what is going on in our life.
Change is when we make some of our best relationships.
Change is when our lives tend to reveal something about ourselves.
Change is necessary for growth.
But who ever promised it would be comfortable? I have been going through a lot of changes lately with my business. I think something is moving in a certain direction and I am focused on that but then things change and a shift needs to be made. Then that focus is placed and guess what… something else changes.
I am learning to not only become more comfortable with change but to actually embrace it. Change has brought about some amazing things and I believe it will continue to do that.
So share with me how change has affected your life.

Okay so first let me explain the Lionel Richie video. I wanted to share a post about the word easy. So I go to YouTube as I always do and that was the only thing I could think of with the word easy. So I listened to it and the boy can sing… so I thought it would be cool to share.
So I have been really taking in my life recently. I have been focusing more on my NOW. Things have been very dynamic and every day is like a new adventure. I am loving my life right now and it is certainly not easy.
So I wanted to look more into that word, easy. I went to dictionary.com to look it up. Here are some definitions:
not hard or difficult; requiring no great labor or effort
free from pain, discomfort, worry, or care
providing or conducive to ease or comfort
not difficult to influence or overcome
After reading those, would you really want easy?! Easy is for weak people. Do you consider yourself a weak person? If so, stop right now! If not, then stop looking for things to be easy!
I’ll use an example with my kids (of course). I never just give them money, they always do something to earn it. I do not want them to think that money is easy to come by. I want them to know they can have as much of it as they want… they just need to work for it. And you don’t have to always work for it. Once you start making it, it can work for you.
I think there is this association between easy being good and hard being bad. Who ever started that belief? And why do so many of us believe it?
Easy = Good
Hard = Bad
I am redefining that right now! Easy is not bad. Requiring no effort is bad. Free from care is bad. Not difficult to influence or overcome is bad.
I have given birth to 4 children. Believe me, it was worth the discomfort!
So think about what your formula for life is. Easy = Bad? If so, you can change that right now!
