Guaranteed way how to boost confidence:

“Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain.”

R.W. Emerson

Try it!
I Dare You!

And remember – courage is not the absence of fear – it’s merely doing something “in spite of” the fear.

In the confrontation between
the stream and the rock,
the stream always wins.

Not through strength,
but through perseverance.

H. Jackson Brown

Set BIG Goals!

Set HUGE goals for your business this year.
See where they take you…
Set ones that make your heart beat a little faster…
Set ones you have no clue how you’ll reach
Set more than you think is reasonable
Then – set a few more.

Your Coach,
Coach Deborah Cole Micek

btw: I really believe in only achieving 1/2 the goals you ever set.
some you should actually “fail” at
and others are not meant to be achieved
the key – is to set soooo many,
that when you achieve half of them,
you’ll have lived an Extra-ordinary life!!!

The future belongs to the unreasonable woman who doesn’t look backwards, and only looks ahead.

The future belongs to the unreasonable woman who is certain only of uncertainty and who has the ability and the confidence to think and act completely differently than every other woman around her.

The future belongs to the unreasonable woman who refuses to take no as the final answer for anything – especially if it’s something she really wants for her family or children.

The future belongs to the unreasonable woman who won’t follow the crowd, but instead dances to the beat of a different drummer – and doesn’t care how many people are looking and staring.

Coach Deb

Adapted from George Bernard Shaw’s quote:

The future belongs to the unreasonable man who doesn’t look backwards, but who is certain only of uncertainty and who has the ability and the confidence to think completely differently.

What does Walt Disney say about being a self-made success story?

“It seems to me shallow and arrogant for any man in these times to claim he is completely self-made, that he owes all his success to his own unaided efforts. Many hands and hearts and minds generally contribute to anyone’s notable achievements.”

Three of my coaching clients just this month got down on themselves about “needing help” to make their dreams come true. One woman said she felt so “dependent” and “helpless” admitting that she needed the help of others.

My response?

HOGWASH!!!

That’s utter crap! There’s no such thing as “the self-made man – OR woman!”

My assignment to her was to list the top 10 mega successful men in America and the top 10 mega successful women in America. And then my challenge to her was to name just ONE person on either list who did not get the help of another person in order to become the mega success that they were today.

Guess what the result was?

I challenge anyone to do this same exercise. And the next time you hesitate about “asking for help” or “asking for anything” to help you fulfill your dreams – look at your list. Then remind yourself: ALL successful people owe their success to others who helped them become successful.

60 Second Success Tip of the Day:
ASK for help!
Ask for what you need to succeed.
Ask someone else to join you in helping you reach your goals.
Asking is the #1 success secret of the mega successful superstars in America today.

“We, The Unwilling, Led by the Unqualified, Have been doing the Unbelievable for so long with so little, We now attempt the impossible with nothing…….”

hmmmm… something to think about… ever felt this way?

Vince Lombardi once said:

The new leadership is in sacrifice, is in self-denial.

It is in love, it is in fearlessness.

It is in humility and it is in perfectly disciplined will.

This is also the distinction between great men and little men.”

And may I add…

This is also the distinction between great women and little women.

This is also the distinction between great success and little success.

Are you this type of leader?

Or do you believe leadership should not come with sacrifice?

Or God-forbid we use the word, “self-denial” these days when self-importance is all the rage in Hollywood circles!

What are YOUR thoughts on these two words? Do you dare share? OR will you remain silent, like millions of others…

Do you have jealous friends? Are you a jealous person?

As you examine the picture in this blog post, ponder the question it poses… I mean, think about it – is it possible? Can you be?

As you look at this picture below, just remember – sometimes, when you’re feeling down, all it takes is to look at your situation with a different perspective, and you can turn the meaning around and thereby turn a frown into a smile.

Ok – for Funny Friday, I thought I’d send you a chuckle – enjoy the picture!

Thomas Edison dreamed of a lamp that could be operated by electricity, began where he stood to put his dream into action, and despite more than ten thousand failures, he stood by that dream until he made it a physical reality. Practical dreamers do not quit!

(Think n Grow Rich)

How many times have you pursued your dreams, goals and desires? More than 10,000 times?

Then you never know if you’ll succeed in making your dreams come true – until the last attempt that succeeds!

The future has several names.
For the weak, it’s Impossible.
For the fainthearted, it’s Unknown.
For the thoughtful and valiant – it’s Ideal.
