There IS a better way.

What are you doing to change your circumstances for the better? This is an important question to ask yourself periodically. We human beings tend to get in ruts without even realizing it. Sometimes, it's healthy and a precursor to big growth leaps to deliberately change routines. It may be you want to build better relationships, hence you "like" this page, or it may be that you desire to change your financial situation. Whatever it is you want to set out to change and achieve give some thought to which of your routines can be changed to get you moving in the right direction. Maybe it's getting up an hour earlier, going to bed sooner, or reaching out to people in your world more consistently. For your life to change, you need to change, that's all I'm saying. :-)

Some days we know exactly what we're going to do for the day to be productive, other days, not so much. When you have one of those "other days", move some molecules around. Use the day to call a few people and reconnect, see where it leads. This often results in something good happening.

1/12 of the year is over. How'd you do with the things you're working on so far? Reevaluate, adjust your course if needed but keep the attitude you had on January 1. You can make this YOUR year!

What is stopping you? What action is required to eliminate those things? Two simple questions. If you face them and respond with sustained action, you'll improve. Have this conversation with yourself. Make some adjustments.

We all have the same amount of time each day. Why is it that some people let time control them while others control their time? People in the latter group are typically more successful. Bill Gates and other mega-successful people have the same 24 hours as anyone else and that was true BEFORE they were successful. I've never done a formal, scientific study on it but I'll bet that attitudes toward time are a key difference between the super successful and the mediocre. Time, or lack thereof, is often a cop-out for not doing what a person knows they should do. Other times it's just a blatant excuse for something they don't want to do but don't want to say no to. As someone posted on Facebook recently..."I don't have time" is the adult equivalent of a kid saying, the dog ate my homework. What do you think?

Don't make New Years resolutions might sound like a funny thing for an optimist/entrepreneur to say but I'm saying it. Instead, I l recommend setting shorter goals and resolutions. I think in terms of 90 day segments. We have 4 seasons to a year and I think our emotional/intellectual psyches are more geared to match the seasons of the year. How many people really keep a 12 month resolution? It's easier and smarter to reset every quarter. Things change and adjustments can be made to whatever plan is set or the plan can be dumped and totally redone if that make sense. Don't feel locked into a long term resolution, be like the small speedboat and adjust more frequently. What do you think?

A few days ago my wife and I went for the walk we take a few times a week. This time though, we decided to turn right at one juncture rather than our usual left. Because of that one small decision we saw things we don't usually see which generated a discussion we wouldn't have had if we'd turned left like usual. Isn't that a lot like life? We develop habits and then have such a strong default toward those habits that we can miss an entirely different experience, one we weren't even aware of. My message on this New Years Eve is to consider consciously breaking with your "defaults." Try another way occasionally. This doesn't mean you have to abandon your old routines. My wife and I will still walk the old way but turning right instead of left the other night provided a new, worthwhile experience. Maybe you'll meet a new person if you turn right instead of left. Break with routine in 2013, at least some of the time. Maybe you'll start a few new "routines" that will prove helpful.

Merry Christmas to all of you good people! May 2013 be your best year ever! Let's all think of the people in our lives and do all we can to reach out to them without an agenda except to warm their hearts.

What we can learn from giraffes: A friend of mine who sent me a note today likes giraffes. That got me thinking about giraffes and success. We can succeed by doing exactly what they do, stand tall, be elegant, and stick our necks outs. They are also focused. They look upward, not down, and focus on what they want to reach. We could probably draw success analogies with other animals too. Maybe you can add to the list. What say you?

You can win people over by merely being a great listener. The publisher of Psychology Today magazine once took a cross country flight during which he engaged in an experiment with his seatmate whom he hadn't met before the flight. The deal was that the publisher would not talk about himself for the entire flight but would focus on letting his seatmate talk about his own life and interests. The publisher skillfully diverted the conversation back to the seatmate throughout the flight. When they landed, the seatmate was interviewed and asked what he thought of the publisher. He replied, "he's the most fascinating man I've ever met." This little story offers up a great lesson in relationship building and growing a business.
