Seize Your Day

Can you believe summer is nearly over? Hopefully, you took some time off for a little rest and relaxation. Now it's time to get back in the swing of things, yet you are feeling a little sluggish. How can you jumpstart your momentum and overcome that inertia?

It's time to recharge or replace your personal batteries to add renewed pep and zest to your business and your life. We live in a world that runs on batteries these days. Think about all the items you use that take a battery. Your car, electronic equipment, smoke detectors, flashlights, watches and cell phones are just a few examples. What do we do when those items quit working? We recharge or replace the batteries and "walla" the problem is solved. The item runs like new.

Unlike the famous TV energizer bunny we don't stay super charged for extended periods of time. When you start to wind down, here are six recommended steps to help you recharge your batteries so you can better seize your day.

1. Create a blue print to map your day. Knowing what you want
to accomplish sets the tone for the day.

2. Prioritize you actions. Doing the most important things first
builds a strong foundation for the rest of the day.

3. Delegate and let others help you. Trying to do it all by yourself
is an energy drain.

4. Track your progress. Measuring what you do helps determine if you
are on the right path.

5. Evaluate your actions. Fine-tuning your actions for better
results is essential for a good performance.

6. Acknowledge your accomplishments. Celebrating your efforts is a
strong reinforcement and energizer to continue doing what matters
most.

Using these six steps will help you be more productive, use your time more wisely in your business and still have time for playing. You can have a small piece of summer fun every day when you take the time to seize your day.

GUEST ARTICLE

Success is Okay! by Jim M. Allen

Did you know that it's perfectly all right to be successful? It is.

It's also entirely okay for you to have found the perfect job, to be in the ideal relationship, to not have to worry about money, to be able to spend your time "playing" in the garden when you want, or go to your kids' early morning tennis games because you can.

And best of all, if you can do any or all of those things, it's 100% Grade-A acceptable to enjoy it.

I bring this up because I've spoken with a lot of people recently who are having problems accepting the fact that -- in various and sundry ways -- they are successful, they have achieved the goals they set for themselves and can now enjoy the results.

You work so hard to achieve so much that it's a shame to not enjoy those good things that you create in your life.

Worse, it's an insult to your own dedication and hard work, and to the work of those who helped you along the way.

Stop denying your success. Stop hiding from the pleasures that you've earned. Stop being guilty because you've done some (or all) of what you set out to do.

Instead, enjoy it. Be happy with it. Model it to others. Share it.
Success is its own reward, but only if you accept it.
