Getting Things Done

“When it comes to getting things done, we need

fewer architects and more bricklayers.”

Colleen C. Barrett, President of Southwest Airlines  

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Getting things done

Talking about it doesn’t get it done . . . . talking is just a lot of conversation with no action.

Thinking about it without action . . . . won’t go very far in getting it done. In time your thoughts without action fade away . . . . and become a distant memory.

When you have a vision with a plan . . . . and want to get it done your on your way to getting it done. It will also take rolling up your sleeves . . . . and hard work to get it done.

When you want to get it done . . . .  commit yourself to the activities to successfully reach your objectives. Also commit yourself to a course of action . . . . and to stay on purpose. When your committed . . . . and have a plan to get it done you won’t become distracted by the obstacles that you may encounter.

Do what has to be done . . . . Make the efforts to keep you moving in the right direction . . . . and staying on course remaining focused on your desired outcome.

Getting things done takes a commitment of . . . . effort . . . . hard work . . . . time . . . . and patience’s.

Opportunities and Challenges

Opportunities and Challenges

“Opportunities come and go . . . . challenges are temporary

conditions. Success is achieved by those who prepare

themselves to take advantage of the opportunities

that are found in their challenges.”

Lou Ludwig, Sales and Management Consultant,

Success Coach, Speaker, Trainer and Author

As I see it . . . . . . . .

Opportunities and challenges

 

I believe our life is a series of both opportunities and challenges. The future belongs to the person that sees what others don’t see . . . . and puts themselves into the position to take advantage of the opportunities.

Success is not a matter of luck . . . . Success is achieved by the person who has prepared themselves for success. Then when the opportunity is there they seize the moment and opportunity.

Be ready . . . . to maximize that opportunity.

Seize the day! Take responsibility for your future . . . . and continually seek out new opportunities.

The day is yours when . . . . you seize the day . . . . and the opportunities that your day holds.

Many time the difference between opportunities and challenges . . . . are in the way you look at them . . . . and the in the actions you take.

An Unlimited Thinker

An Unlimited Thinker

It Becomes Possible – When You Believe It Is

It Becomes Possible – When You Believe It Is

“To believe a thing is impossible

is to make it so.”

French Proverb

As I see it . . . . . . .

It become possible - When you believe it is

The only thing that becomes impossible is what you believe to be impossible.  What you believe to be true . . . . becomes your reality.

Doing what’s impossible starts with your self-beliefs that you can do it . . . . and then in taking the steps to do what necessary to make it possible.

Believe in yourself . . . . Believe in your abilities and take the action steps to turn an impossible situation . . . . into a possibility then a reality.

We First Succeed or Fail in Our Thinking

We First Succeed or Fail in Our Thinking

 

The journey of success or failure is first occurs in the way we think . . . . and that thinking then is transfers in our hearts and into actions.

The way you go through your day . . . . The actions you take are a direct reflection of your thinking.

A positive thinker has a positive outlook for their future.  They will move through their day with positive expectations for the day . . . . and their future. They will move pass their obstacles and challenges remaining focused on their long term objectives.

A negative thinker looks at the road in front of them as one filled with potholes and endless detours. They will become sidetracked by the fog of their challenges . . . . and lose the forward momentum.

A positive thinker . . . . finds a way to successfully work their way through their challenges . . . . The negative thinker will surrender to their challenges.

The only true defeat a person experiences in life is the one that comes from within . . . . by quitting on themselves.

We first succeed or fail in our thinking . . . . Keep your thinking positive and your eyes fixed on achieving your goals . . . . and you will experience a life of unlimited possibilities.

You Either Have It or You Don’t

You Either Have It or You Don’t

You can’t buy it . . . .

Someone can’t give it to you . . . .

You can’t get it on line . . . .

You don’t get it for showing up . . . .

If you want it . . . . you have to earn it.

It not a sometime thing . . . .

You can’t turn it off or on . . . .

SO WHAT IS IT?

It’s your integrity. . . . and you either have it . . . . or you don’t.

Your integrity becomes the foundation of your principals . . . . and creates the honesty in your thinking and in your actions.

A Life of Possibilities

A Life of Possibilities

“The difference between the impossible

And the possible lies in the person’s determination.”

Tommy Lasorda, baseball manager

As I see it . . . . . . .

A life of possibilities

The difference between what become possible for one person . . . . and impossible for other is in a person’s determination.

Tommy Lasorda played for the Brooklyn Dodgers for 4 years and appeared in just 26 games as a major league pitcher. In his entire major league baseball career he never won a game and lost 4 games.

Tommy Lasorda used his knowledge of baseball and his determination to propel him to the next level.

He became a hall of fame manager for the Dodgers. Tommy was twice being named manager of the year, winning 1599 games and 2 World Series over the span of a 21 year career as the Dodgers manger.

Lasorda found what was possible in his determination . . . . and he pursued his career with passion and enthusiasm.

That determination resides within all of us. You have to reach down into your character to release your determination.

A life of possibilities . . . . is a life of determination that you make  possible in your attitude and through your actions.

Intentions Alone Has No Value

 Intentions Alone Has No Value

“You cannot change anything in your life with intention alone

which can become a watered down, occasional hope that

you’ll get to it tomorrow. Intention

without action is useless.”

Caroline Myers, Playwright

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Intentions alone has no value

Intention no matter how good they are will not change anything . . . . in your life without action.

When you want change in your life . . . . you have the personal responsible for the change you want to see.

You have to commit yourself to take the actions that are needed . . . . to achieve the desired outcome.

Your future is created through . . . . your actions not your intentions.

Be the change that you want to see . . . . and take the actions to make that change become a reality.

Intentions alone has no value . . . . it’s just turns out to be a lot of small talk with no follow up and not actions.

Situations Change

Situations Change

“If you’re in a bad situation, don’t worry it’ll change.

If you’re in a good situation, don’t worry it’ll change.”

John A Simon Jr., New Media Artist

As I see it . . . . . . .

Situations change

Everything changes . . . . and the only constant in our life . . . . is change.

Situations in our life are subject to change without notice and can happen at any time . . . .

Situations change . . . . the questions becomes do we get on the leading edge of change by making the changes in our life work for us by taking control of the change. Or are we reactive to change . . . . and let things drift with inaction to change the things in our life that needs positive change.

Or worst yet do we back up and allow other people decide what changes if any will occur in our life.

When you grasp a situation . . . . and determine what will have to be do . . . . You take control on the condition . . . . how it will affect you . . . . and how YOU will change the condition.

YOU take control of the situation and in turn take control of your life.

When you become reactive to situation you allow the situation to take control of your life.

Situations change . . . . be in front of the change and take the actions to make the changes that are needed.

As I see it . . . . . . .

Confidence is the result of hard work and preparation

Your confidence shines through . . . . your customers see it . . . . the people around know you have it. It also comes to the forefront in your actions . . . . and the approach you take in your profession.

When you’re confident your actions have a purpose and your expectations are focused on achieving successful results.
