My close friend and business associate has been having computer problems
lately. Her computer was infected by a virus, apparently brought in via adware.
It started off as a minor irritation but gradually infected her system to the
point where it had to be professionally diagnosed and treated. She mentioned to
me how sometimes our lives get infected by all our “stuff” – just like the
computer virus. When people, places and things that begin as minor problems are
left undiagnosed and unattended to, they can eventually mutate into “viruses”
which infect our attitudes and impair our ability to get the most out of life.
Like the virus protection software we install on the computer to detect and
disarm viruses, we need a system of checks and balances to keep the small stuff
from creating “dis-ease” in our day to day life! Prioritizing and saying no to
anything that doesn’t fit with your vision of how you want your life to be
enables you to stay healthy, happy and virus free!
Contact me for a free
assessment and find out how you can do less and enjoy more.
Imagine your life in order!

Slower and Smoother = Faster and Better
I received this email recently from Melanie Strick of
SuccessConnections.com
which I’d like to share with you. As an entrepreneur I’m very much aware that
working smarter is so much more important than working harder, but I don’t
always follow my own advice. (What’s up with that anyway?) Regardless of where
you are or what you are doing – ask yourself this question:

Cushy Cupboards
I’ve recently discovered a must have for your cupboards! It’s
called
Cushy Cupboards
(www.cupboardliner.com). A representative contacted me recently
and sent me a sample and it is great stuff. Don’t start any
cabinet or drawer organization project until you line the
surface with this product. It’s amazing. It works especially
well on those wire shelving units found in most new construction
homes. It comes on a roll and is easy to cut and slide into
place. No sticky adhesive or rubber that wrinkles or rolls. It’s
water resistant, easy to clean and so simple to install – just
cut and place. It’s made of recycled material and is very
inexpensive. Visit their website or contact
service@cupboardliner.com for more information.

Is this your best year yet?
Let me ask differently... is this your best year yet in all areas of your life?
(I know, that one’s tougher to answer.) I heard someone say recently, “Most
people die with their music still in them.” There’s something sad about that.
It’s as if we know we have so much more in us, but...
Here’s what Melanie has to say:
Success Connections Tip
I’ve seen it too many times. Successful people being bogged down by the daily
grind. So much so that they limit themselves. They’re so lost in working hard
that, at the end of the day, don’t have the bandwidth to get bigger. Too busy
to think of their bigger vision.
At what cost?
Sometimes it’s hard to see past the daily work to see your life as a whole.
And Time passes and your legacy is still in you.
The solution may surprise you.
If you want to get more done... do less. Yep – it’s crazy. Here’s a
formula my
clients balk at when they first hear it – until they experience it firsthand.
Slower + Smoother = Faster
If you want to free yourself so you can focus more time on your big vision,
create space in your life. Create down time. Take a day off every week to just
recharge. Here’s how:
- Eliminate tasks off your plate.
- Utilize others. Leverage others better so you create a stronger team
supporting you and your work.
- Do more of what you are uniquely qualified to do. Do less of what
you are not uniquely qualified to do.
- Give yourself permission to dream big.
- Think about what kind of legacy you want to leave behind
Again, slower + smoother = faster (and better!)
“Thank God every morning when you
get up that you have something to do that day, which must be done
whether you like it or not.”
– James Russell Lowell
