2. Create a Vision Board – I first heard about visualization from John Assaraf in the movie “The Secret” and was sceptical. The concept involves finding images that represent your dreams, goals and ambitions, then turning those images into a poster and keeping it somewhere where you will notice it several times each day. My wife tried it Cheap Ian Cole Jersey , and I noticed how it seemed to keep her on-track for a half marathon. I decided to give it a shot. My take on this was a little different – I put several PowerPoint slides together and saved them as images. These became my screen-saver and my computers wallpaper. I found the constant reminding was motivational, and eventually found that I was accomplishing each of the goals that I had initially set for myself. Check out the movie ‘The Secret” if you need more help on visualization techniques.

The world is their oyster. They believe they’re destined for great things Cheap Scott Wilson Jersey , just like many of you, their eyes are full of hope, just like you. Did they wait until it was too late to make from their lives even one iota of what they were capable? Because, you see gentlemen, these boys are now fertilizing daffodils. But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on Cheap Matt Hunwick Jersey , lean in. Listen, you hear it? – – Carpe – – hear it? – – Carpe, carpe diem, seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary. ”
4. Find your Mantra – Adam Kreek, Canadian Olympic Gold Medallist in Rowing from 2008 Cheap Bryan Rust Jersey , advocates finding a personal mantra to inspire success. While training for the 2008 games in Beijing, he repeated the phrase “I want a gold medal” thousands of times with each stroke that he took. Find something primal that resonates with your entrepreneurial spirit, then stick it to the wall near your computer.
5. This won’t work for everybody, but I have found meditation to be incredibly helpful. Sitting quietly for 10 minutes provides a clear perspective on things and allow you to distinguish between competing priorities. The goal of meditation is to stop thinking and just focus on breathing.
