No Excuses!

We have all heard this, but how many of us live by it? If you are not doing anything about the current state of your life, you are obviously making excuses, to yourself and to others.

What is your excuse if you are not in shape?

What is your excuse if you are not in the best relationship?

What is your excuse if you are not making sales?  Your kids don’t listen, you drink too much, you hate you job, you are broke?

If you sat down long enough and really thought about it, it’s nobody’s fault but your own. You and you alone are responsible for the current state of your life; and guess what? Only you alone can do something about it. We all have only 24 hours in day, no one gets more.( My friend Brad thinks he gets more cause he works with people in 5 time zones!) If you want to get in shape, make the decision and do something about it. I have 3 kids and work 10-12 hours a day so I get up at 5 am and go to the gym, some days it’s the only time that I can do it. Want a better relationship, then work on improving you! You can’t change some one else with ease. Want to make more sales, do more prospecting and learn more about how to connect with your target audience.

Lastly and certainly not least, if you are struggling financially, then sit down and take stock of where you are right now. How much are you bringing in each month, what are your outgoing expenses and can you cut back, where can you add more value and increase your income? Think of everything. If you want help brainstorming idea’s feel free to give me a call. I look forward to hearing from you.

Live with a take charge attitude, take no prisoners and make no excuses!

Cheers,

Pat

Analysis of paralysis!

I find that far too often that people are complaining that they hate their job, don’t have enough money, are too fat, too skinny, too tired or whatever. They get caught up in a cycle of complaining and they fail to do anything about their situation. They over analyze their situation but do not take any action to improve it. They are suffering from an analysis of paralysis! Here is the answer, just do something! You may not succeed on the first try and many do not, however the trick is to learn what is working and what is not and to keep trying until you succeed. 

If you make money doing what you enjoy then you are never working. Find a way to make some money doing something that you are passionate about. Even if it is part time.  

Want more money? Heck who does not! Find out why you are alway short on cash. For one month track all your income and expenses. This will give you an idea of where you stand. Next I would advise that you sit down with a Financial Advisor, one like my friend Steve Cox. They are experts in helping people to create a roadmap to take them where they want to be. If part of that road map is to get a better handle on your debts then Steve will let me know and I gladly help you out with that.

Not happy about your physical condition? Although I have a background as a personal trainer, It has been many years since I have worked in this field. Even though I continue to work out regularly. Consult an expert at your local gym or Y(M or W)CA for a plan that is right for you.  

We all have challenges. What you may not realize is that we also have the answers. We just have to do something about it. Take action and persist until you succeed.

Cheers,

Pat
