Shirley Temple Dies..Whitney Houston Remembered..Atlanta Braces for Another Winter Storm!?

With so much going on today, staying focused was quite a challenge. Between trying to stay informed about the Winter storm by watching the news, trying to soothe my mind by listening to Whitney Houston while adding products on eBay; today has been an adventure to say the least. Schools and several businesses were closed as we prepare for yet another Winter storm, but this one promises to yield over an inch of ice. Everyone is urged to basically stay indoors until Friday. So I figure there will be millions of people stuck at home for at least the next 48 hours, and that is just a portion of one state. That puts my business mind into overdrive and I go full throttle all day, seldom coming up for air...

I listened to an amazing conference call this afternoon that focused on coaching individuals to adapt a millionaire mindset. One of the techniques mentioned, that I try to put into practice often is writing down goals. As one of the speakers said, goals that aren't actually written down are merely wishes. Having that constant reminder of goals helps to keep the flame of desire to achieve them burning. That flame is necessary because there will be days when you second guess those goals. Those days when it seems like every possible road block appears on your path to success, is when refocusing is necessary. Remembering what it is that drives you, and what it was that prompted you to creating those goals in the first place will help get you through the discouraging days.

I search for motivation, particularly from individuals who are in the same line of business as myself. Seeing their continued success helps keep me determined on making my own dreams come true. This week as I was scrolling through my timeline on Facebook, I came across a post from one of the members of DS Domination who was celebrating her success. Shortly after one of my newest team members texted me to tell me he had made his first sale on eBay after his first day. Everyone on my downline is actually making money! I am truly starting to feel successful knowing that I am helping people reach their goals while I work hard to achieve my own. And posts like this when I log onto Facebook definitely keeps me inspired and motivated!
