Living Out Your Dreams
Top Ten Tips to Be Successful in Any Economy
Welcome to the latest edition of Living Out Your Dreams. If you subscribed on our website, http://www.balancedliving.com, we have been on sabbatical from writing this newsletter over the past year.
The time and energy is right to begin again. The format and authorship of the newsletter will be changing. The newsletter will be shorter with more bulleted points and ideas that you can read quickly and the style will be more coach-like with tips for moving forward. I know you get inundated with email and want to you to get information you can use and apply quickly and easily.
This newsletter will now be single authored by Stacey Mayo.
Deb Elkin, mind-body therapist and previous co-author, and I remain good friends and she has been invited to submit guest articles from time to time. The change in authorship is simply due to the fact that we each have individual businesses and the focus for our businesses is different right now.Deb wrote many great articles in the past and those can be accessed on the archives on my website, http://www.balancedliving.com. Thank you Deb!
Warm regards,
Stacey
FEATURE ARTICLE: HOW TO SUCCEED IN ANY ECONOMY
Since success is really internal and not determined by external events, one measure of success is how happy you are regardless of what the economic yardstick shows. The following are steps to increase both internal and external success:
Spend some time or work with a coach to define what success means to you.
Turn off the news. The news tends to over-dramatize things and replay negative events countless times (how many times did you need to see a plane hit the WTC?). This breeds fear. Fear contracts us and stops the flow.
Focus on and express gratitude for things in your life that are good.
Create a goal of what you really, really want and would create if the economy was not this way.
Get determined to meet the goal despite the economy. Commit to it. Look for opportunities and ways to meet it.
Make yourself invaluable. Where can you add value at your job? In life? Let those who have influence know your ambitions and ask for their help here. Determine what needs in the marketplace or your company fit with your desires and abilities Tweak your dream to go with the flow; not against it. What do people need/want now? Position yourself well for when the turnaround comes.
Script it out as if it had already happened. Notice what you are inspired to do and act on it accordingly.
Enroll other people in your goal whose strengths complement yours and bring them on the team. Do not try to do it by yourself. That is the hard way and we are into ease.
Create multiple streams of income. That way you are not dependent on any one and if one dries up, you still have others. Make some of them passive (i.e., produce income even when you are not working.)
Detach from having to have it look a certain way and be open to it coming from any direction. Keep focused on the goal, rather than the lack of it. Have fun! This may happen in your time frame or it may take longer or something even better may happen along the way. It is all perfect.
Be grateful for and do a victory dance for every little success along the way. Have fun and trust that it will all work out in the long run. Do not sweat the small stuff or the big stuff along the way.
