There is a fundamental flaw in how we do business today. In theory, we're supposed to be running businesses to generate profit. But the way we run them creates a host of problematic side-effects, including disengaged employees, externalized costs to society and the environment, and a growing feeling of impending doom. Many business leaders can see and feel the strange disconnect between traditional business techniques and the rapidly changing world we face today, but few know what to do about it.

Talking about Women's Health, Taking Care of our Bodies

Mon, 2010-02-01 00:29 | by monicadear

I like to talk about success habits and tools, and in this post I'd like to go over our physical health as a part of our daily success practice. Our health and wellness, along with nutrition, whole foods, exercise and relaxation, are so important for our perception of our daily life.

Every day let's find something to celebrate in our own bodies and in our lives. One thing that I've found in my monthly cycle is I need to be aware of when I need extra care and stress reduction: while I don't like to think I'm at the mercy of my hormones, at certain points I definitely can feel the effects of being a woman of childbearing age.

Will Smith on Success

Wed, 2010-01-27 12:46 | by monicadear

I always love to learn from other people, and my coach Rob Seidenspinner of Sage Circle Coaching recently sent me this video of interview clips with Will Smith, the actor and entertainer.

Smith's articulateness and eloquence about his beliefs shows you that he has been working on his ideas and values and mission for a long time, and I truly resonate with his belief that you have to believe in yourself first.

I'm adding this video to my collection of clips on "Dreams Come True" -- I invite you to send me other videos that you think capture the essence of success, making dreams come true, and creating reality.

Yours in continued success

Lessons in Success: #30 Celebrate

Wed, 2010-01-27 03:33 | by monicadear

Let's celebrate!

Nell Merlino, founder of the Make Mine a $Million project, always encourages women to celebrate our successes, and she encourages us to truly celebrate, to truly mark a passage of time, and to do so before other things come in like paying the bills, taking care of business, minding the children, and letting a special moment pass.

We deserve to celebrate: we deserve to be thankful and to be thoughtful and to honor our lives.

So let's celebrate today.

Plan a celebration to toast your achievements and those of others, to express gratitude and appreciation for your relationships at home and at work, and to be joyful in life.

Things to celebrate include:

Lessons in Success: #29 Practice Gratitude

Wed, 2010-01-27 03:11 | by monicadear

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity...

...It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow."

- Melodie Beattie

The best way that we achieve success is by expressing true gratitude for our circumstances, our situations, and our abilities.

Lessons in Success: #28 Surprise Yourself

Tue, 2010-01-26 05:27 | by monicadear

So many of our days are a simple continuation, in a never-ending loop, of our previous days, weeks, and months. When we focus on a particular area, like our health, our finances, our personal relationships, or our career, we start to see how small, incremental changes magnify into larger, lifechanging events.

You'll be surprised at what is possible!

For example, about ten years ago, I started to become more thoughtful about the kind of life I wanted to lead, the kinds of people I wanted to be with, the kinds of activities that engaged my daily life, and the values and beliefs I wanted to put into practice. I wanted to live life, not have life "happen" to me.
