The Big Picture

Recently, I’ve talked about affirmations and goals I’ve mentioned time after time after time. Now it’s time to see the big picture! The big picture is really your “WHY.” I just had this AHA moment the other day. It just kind of hit me in the brain as I was driving to or from work. Yes, I guess my mind wanders on that thirty mile commute! I was thinking about how we always hear about having a “why” for doing this business. I could never come up with one. (more…)

Affirmations Create Accountability

For the longest time I have not been able to create an affirmation for myself. I have heard time and time again that having a daily affirmation or mantra will help one to reach her goals. I could never get behind it. I think I was stuck in this vision that affirmations are a little cheesy and cheery and don’t sound like anything I would say. Many I have seen, heard, and read feel like cheers or pep talks and I’m not good at those. I have on posted on my sidebar that sounds like a rhyme and a cheer. It’s good, but it’s not something I can get in the habit of saying daily. There is also the dreaded suggestion of recording oneself saying the affirmation and then listening to it repeatedly such as in the car. That kind of thing gives me the creeps for some reason. Then, I attended a workshop with my NSD back in April. My opinion and understanding of an affirmation was transformed. (more…)

Simple Organization

I’ll be the first to admit that I am not an organized individual by any stretch. For some reason, however, my director and her director perceive me as an organized person. To what do I owe this status? I think it comes solely from time management training I’ve had from them and from owning my Mary Kay datebook. Since joining Mary Kay Cosmetics, I have become far more skilled at time management. I do think part of it stems from my busy childhood. I always had lessons of some sort–piano lessons, ballet, gymnastics, and horseback riding, to name a few. This caused my thinking to shift to things I have to do each day and how to fit everything else into place. (more…)

Don’t Lose Focus

We have all encountered obstacles in running our businesses as well as in life. How we handle setbacks can be a determinant in our success. Maintaining focus on the initial goal can be a challenge when we are sidelined by illness, an accident, family drama, etc. The ability to rise above the turmoil and maintain focus on the task at hand, is golden. If you read about successful people, you will find that many of them perservered in spite of hardships they had to endure. Their concerns for the situation didn’t lessen nor did their determination of meeting the goal. I think at times, it seems that people who have strong ambitions in their professions are perceived by others as callous or uncaring when they are able to bounce back and continue their work once the initial shock as subsided. This is not the case. They simply have not lost focus:
