If Not Now, When?

If we don't take action now, then how do we expect our situations to change? Most of us want our lives to be different. We want to have more wealth. We want more free time to do the things we've long dreamed of doing. We keep saying, "One day..." How long has this been your song? If you don't do it now, then when do you think you will?

Fear causes inertia. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid you might fail, or are you afraid you might succeed? Your choice is to take control of your life or leave it in the control of someone else - either way, things are constantly changing. I have a lot to be thankful for right now. But I'm intelligent enough to know that "right now" doesn't last. I can either watch things unfold in my life under someone else's control, or I can create my own future, starting RIGHT NOW.

Another possibility for failing to take action is a lack of belief, mainly in yourself. If you look at successful people, they first believed they would succeed before they actually did. You see, if you don't believe something is possible for you right now, in your lifetime, then it's pretty certain it won't happen. You will actually prevent it from happening unless you truly believe.

I believe I can achieve anything I have a desire to achieve. I am in the process of making my desires come true. I also believe you are capable of more than you may be allowing yourself to even consider. If you don't do anything differently than you are doing today, how will your life look in in the next 5 or 10 years? Do something today to accomplish your goal. You owe it to yourself, to your family, to all of mankind, and to your creator. If not today, when will you decide to take action?

What I want for myself, I want for everyone, including you. Contact me today and I will explore your desires and how you can take the steps to achieve them.

Corporate Burnout

Burnout is a common symptom among corporate executives. They start out all gung ho, planning to make a difference for their employer with an increase in wealth and lifestyle choices for themselves. So they work harder and longer, usually making a decent salary, but the time and stress factors eventually take their toll. And when there is no relief in sight, corporate burnout sets in.



Maybe you're in this category right now. I wasn't exactly a corporate executive but as a 31-year veteran nurse, I too was tired of giving and giving. I kept telling myself I was making a difference and it was okay not to be financially wealthy but I grew increasingly dissatisfied. When we find ourselves dissatisfied to the point of dreading to go to work, it's time for a change.



Now I make a different difference in people's lives. I start with a conversation to help them determine where they are now and where they'd like to be in the next month, year, and five years. If they are ready to make some bold changes, I am here to lead the way. It's working for me and thousands of other entrepreneurs and it can work for them. There is a better way. Life is meant to be productive, enjoyable, and enriching. We have to receive in order to be able to give.



If corporate burnout is in your picture today, start looking for some options.

Contact me. I've been there and I found a better way.



To your health and success,

Being Self-Employed

What does being self-employed look like? If you're thinking of starting your own home-based business, you probably have an idea of what your life will look like. How will it be different from what you're accustomed to? Will you spend more time sleeping, reading, travelling, parenting or working? Being an entrepreneur still requires work because you are running a business after all. The difference is that you keep all the profits and not just a small fraction.

Many people dream of being self-employed but don't seriously assess the risks and benefits. The risks are that there is no guarantee of a steady paycheck. The benefit is that the sky is the limit when it comes to income. No set wages means you decide what you will earn. After all, you're the employer, right? Another huge benefit for me is that I decide how much vacation I can take. When I worked as a nurse, I was very limited in both the amount I could earn and in the amount of vacation I could take. I wasn't even allowed time off without pay!

Some other considerations include the integrity of the company as well as the training and support being provided. Also, I needed to know the investment required and if products needed to be stocked and shipped. The company I chose to work with, Liberty League International, exceeded my requirements. The compensation plan is the best in the business, the training and support are over the top, and I can conduct the business anywhere with a cell phone and a laptop computer. If being self-employed like this sounds interesting to you, contact me. My business is helping people just like you.
