Great recommendations for keeping your children happy & healthy this school year!!

KEEP KIDS HEALTHY:
Back to school is right around the corner. Kids will be going back to their "herd" and being exposed to all kinds of microbes that can potentially make them sick. Especially for those children entering school for the first time, their immune systems will be put to the test. Starting now with a sound diet and supplementing with immune supporting nutrients can help strengthen their natural defenses to the outside world. Here are some strategies towards building a healthy immune response for your children.

Thought of the Day

Ask yourself these 3 questions??

2. Where do I want to be if I am not happy with the answer?
3. What is my course of action to get there?

If you do not have a plan I strongly urge you to take time to figure that out. No one is guaranteed security in their job. If you are serious about committing to make a change PM me. I would love to help you come up with a plan of action.

Thought of the Day

I find that this one simple word can really keep someone from achieving the success that they have dreamed of. When your goals are not clear, specific and and do generate a feeling of true DESIRE then your FOCUS is blurred. Revisit your "Why" break it apart until you get to the smallest pieces. Once you break it down small enough you will get to the REAL reason "Why" you started your business in the first place. FOCUS on your "WHY". Create a sense of URGENCY then your FOCUS will be cystal clear.

Thought of the day-

Knowledge is useless without action.

I really appreciate this photo because each person is putting themselves in an uncomfortable position to create the complete word TEAMWORK. Isn't it so true that in order to succeed in a team you need to make yourself uncomfortable before it gets easier?

Never ever reduce your target. Instead increase your ACTIONS!

When following up with someone. Keep this in mind.
Creating a deadline is a simple but extremely powerful tactic. Use it.

Food for Thought?

Do you dream? Never lose sight of your dreams. Most importantly never allow anyone to tell you what you can or can not become. When you allow that you are giving your power to dream away. When you know what you want, when you want it and have a clear plan of action in place. The results are that your BIGGEST dreams will come true. It is ALL up to you. To believe in yourself and to continue to work towards those dreams to become a reality. So I challenge you to continue to dream. Be sure to plan and most importantly to TAKE ACTION!!

These are words to live by. People see right through you if you are not genuine. Be true to yourself.

How do you see yourself?
What are you looking to create for yourself and your business?

Having a well defined vision is crucial to reaching your true success. You must write it out and change your goal statement on a regular basis. Identifying what you want, when you want it and what you are willing to give your business in regard to sacrifice to reach it.

Read it 2x's daily. Morning and night. Read it to yourself in the mirror until you truly believe that you will achieve it. You might fell funny the first time but the power you give yourself when you do this creates an insatiable desire to reach your true potential.

Know that you obtain the will and the determination to . Be genuine about what you want and dream. Dream so big that you find yourself continuously growing stronger and more focused to get to your destination. You can do it.

There isn't anything in your life you can not achieve as long as you do not empower others to take those dreams from you. Embrace yourself and others will learn from you.

Look at the vast universe that we live in. In growing your business and expanding your true growth potential one needs partners. In order to have a family one needs a partner.

You CAN and WILL reach your true potential once you put it into the universe. You are already destined to be a success and create your future because God already has it planned.

I post this image today in reflection of my own life. I feel if now my life may be an open book. The reason is that just like you I too have been faced with what road to take on many occasions. I feel that when we choose the wrong road we tend to make blame on someone else as to why that choice wasn't the best choice or play the victim role. We will face these roads each and everyday. So be mindful of your decision and think before you choose. Sometimes we are unsure of what to do. That is okay. We are all human and no matter how hard you think about it the end result is that at least you tried. Learn from your mistakes and do not look back. Know that you are an amazing person no matter what others may think or say. Create your own future and not a future for someone else. Bring those individuals with you that are like minded and support your efforts each and every step of the way.

Food for Thought??

Many people find that they learn best from experience. If they don't reflect on their experience , and if they don't consciously think about how they could do better next time, it is hard for them to learn anything at all.

The illustration below is Gibb's Reflective Cycle. This is where Gibb's Reflective Cycle is useful in this approach especially when coaching individuals. As you know this is something I'm very passionate about so this diagram below illustrates the 5 steps to improve your coaching skills.

Step 1- You want to ask the person your coaching to describe the situation in detail at this stage, you simply want to know what happened you'll draw conclusions later. Consider asking questions like these to help them describe the situation.

When and where did this happen?
Why were you there?
Who else was there?
What happened?
What did you do?
What did the other person do?
What was the result of the situation?

Step 2-is Feelings
Encourage him/her to talk about what he thought and felt during the experience. At this stage avoid commenting on his/her emotions.(Listen) Use questions like these to guide the discussion.

What did you feel before the situation took place?
What did you feel like while the situation took place?
What do you think other people felt during the situation?
What did you feel after the situation?
What do you think about the situation now?
What do you think other people feel about the situation?

#1 Tip is it might be difficult for some people to talk honestly about their feelings so use empathetic listening.
# tip 2 is you can use the perceptual positions techniques to help this person see the situations from other people's perspective.

Step 3 is Evaluation
Now you need to encourage the person your coaching to look of objectively at what approaches work and which ones didn't.
So ask them the following:

What was positive about the situation?
What was negative?
What went well?
What didn't go so well?
What did you and the other people do to contribute to the situation either positively or negatively?
If appropriate use techniques such as the 5 whys to help your team member uncover the root cause of the issue.

Step 4 is Conclusions-
Once you have evaluated the situation you can help your team member draw conclusions about what happened. Encourage people to think about the situation again using information that you've collected so far then ask questions like these.

How could this have been a more positive experience for everyone involved?
If you were faced with the same situation again what would you do differently?
What skills do you need to develop so that you can handle the situation better?

Step 5 is Action-
You guys know how passionate I am about taking action!!!
You should now have some possible actions that your team member can take to deal with similar situations more effectively in the future.
So in the last stage you need to come up with a plan so that he can make these changes.
Once you've identified the area he/she will work on get him/her to commit to take action!!!

This diagram is structured as a cycle, reflecting an ongoing coaching relationship. Whether you use it this way depends on the situation and your relationship with the person being coached.

Food for Thought??

Your mind is a powerful phenomenon . Once you get your mind in the right place you too will see all things are possible. We should all be empowered to reach our goals and dreams without being limited. Nourish your mind with positive thoughts and they will become reality. Have a blessed day!!

Good morning guys!! So I came across a leadership article from My business Coach fax memo I get each day. So this is what I wanted to share. Create a get-to-do list. Instead of a must-do-list, write a get-to- do list. On that list, put everything you love about your job.

1. Spend time with great people like ??.
2. Work on interesting marketing.
3. Serve customers.
4. Play with cool technology.
5. Learn about writing.
6. Take home a paycheck.

Even if you're not happy in your job at the moment, take a deep breath make your list. Review the people, the learning, the task, the customers, the vendors, and the products you deal with. With the ones you enjoy. This list isn't about requirements and tasks it's about the positive motivation and values that draw you into action! Hope this helps you have a better work day. — feeling positive!!

Success is something you have to pay for in advance.
