MARRIED OR NOT YOU SHOULD READ THIS…

Simply a “must read“

If You Could Do Life Over… When the top 5 regrets of the dying were listed, the number one was, “I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself; not the life others expected of me.” Here Are 7 Ways to Make It Right

“But what if I fail?” You will. And then? (by Seth Godin)

The Flexible Mind Leo Babauta – at his best

The Mechanics of Human Suffering “You don’t have a mind of your own. Please look at it carefully. What you call as “my mind” is just society’s garbage bin.” Sadhguru looks at the mechanics and cause of human suffering, and provides a tool to move out of the “garbage bin” our mind is.

Smile, breathe, and go slowly!

“When I was young, I had to choose between the life of being and the life of doing. And I leapt at the latter like a trout to a fly.

But each deed you do, each act, binds you to itself and to its consequences, and makes you act again and yet again.

Then very seldom do you come upon a space between

act and act when you may stop and simply be.

Or wonder who, after all, you are.”
-Ursula K LeGuin

I spent today with my mastermind group .

Actually, it’s one of three mastermind groups I’m in.

I’m in one small group with a handful of other mentors that meets via skype every week to bounce around ideas and share experiences. We also meet up for a full day every now and then: this time to grill each other on our plans for next months to come.

I’m in another small group of professional speakers that meets face to face quarterly to help each other with the speaking side of our businesses.

And I’m in a big group of folks who do a lot of stuff online who meet virtually every month to discuss online strategies and to partner with each other on promotions if appropriate.

Each of those groups contributes something different to my business. Today’s session put my plan for 2014 through the wringer and helped me with priorities. Tomorrow I’ll be listening to a recording of the online group call I missed because I always get a lot of insight from hearing what’s working and what’s not for the other folks in the group.

And they all provide camaraderie and friendship too. Rather important for anyone.

Have you got something similar for your?

Three groups might be a bit over the top. But I promise you, a regular mastermind group will work wonders for you.

If you’re not part of one, why not set one up yourself? Google “mastermind group” to see how they work and speak to a handful of people who you think have complementary skills and experience to yours.

It could be the best thing you do for your in 2014.

Apart from joining Personal Mentoring, of course 😉

Smile, breathe, and go slowly!

The yardstick of success is not measured by fame and wealth;

it is measured by your level of understanding of

who you are, why you are here

and where are you going from here. (Tulshi Sen)
