Life can be good after getting laid off.

You received a pink slip today. After your recover from shock you feel shame and embarrassment. You are in denial and disbelief. You feel abandoned and overwhelmed and do not want to share this vital information with love ones.

You rush to the safety of home and have more shameful feelings. You want to crawl in a hole and cover yourself. You finally share the news with your family and they are surprised and disappointed as well.
You and your family have decisions to make as fast as possible.

Some tips:

1. Overhaul your expenses. Cut back on everything with a hatchet.
2. Conserve your cash.
3. If you or a family member have a pre-existing medical condition do everything possible to keep cobra, your health insurance.
4. Apply for unemployment.
5. Exercise, this is a great stress buster
6. Take time to grieve your loss, it is real.
7. Work on your attitude.

If you have been in a major depression, snap out of it. It is time for a overhaul in your thinking. The shock and despair has worn off and you have come to terms with what has happened to you. Now is the time to have a serious talk with yourself first then your family.

Some of the questions you want to consider are:

1. How do I really feel about that job/career?
2. Is this a good time for me to rethink my options?
3. Is this a path I want to take for the duration of my working life?
4. Finally, what lessons are in this for me?

Entrepreneurs do not get laid off. They do not fire themselves. It could be time to consider being your boss and having a business of your own. You can make as much money as you choose. This is an abundant world and you can have your share. It is a decision away. Is it time for a career change?

Is it time to begin that search for a business that you can build into your empire? When you put together your game plan consider a business as part of your future.

Life can take unexpected turns. You could be distraught because of this experience. One day you could thank your former employer for letting you go. Like so many difficult experiences in life once you walk through them you realize that they were opportunities to move you along a different path.

It is all about your attitude and what you make out of this experience. This too shall pass.

Honor yourself.

Recap on how to set goals. Part (4) day four

I was looking for an online home based business and I used goal setting successfully and found exactly what I was looking for. You may have a burning desire for something but not know how to go about getting it. Why not try goal setting as a starting point. I have given you my blue print that has worked successfully for me many times in the past.

These are some tips that I have covered that will keep you on target:

Be specific and know what you want. Don’t be vague and unsure. If you don’t know what you want how can you get it?

Do have a time line. If you want to go to college give yourself (4) years. Not having a definite time to graduate means you could get your degree in (10) years or never.

Brainstorm at the beginning of your goal setting process any obstacles or challenges that could emerge and sabotage your great plans. If your goals are long term do this frequently.

Goals must be written down to embed them into your subconscious. When goals are not written down on paper it is a dream and we all know what happens to dreams. We forget about them.

Have a plan of action. This is what, when and how in the accomplishment of your goal. The more detail the plan the better your chances are for success.

You absolutely must have a passion or compelling and burning desire to go after what you want. There will be obstacles that come up and your passion for your goal will keep you on target. Giving up will not be an option.

State your outcome in positive ways. Engage your feelings. Become emotionally attached to your goal.

Read and state your goal daily. The best time is first time in the morning and the last thing before going to bed. If I have a challenge I will ask my subconscious how to solve it just before going to sleep but before I affirm a good night sleep and I get an answer that I act on immediately. This is why people use the phrase "let me sleep on it."

Focus. What you focus on expands and become part of your reality.

Step into your goal. Visualize and become a part of it in the present as if it is already here. How does it feel to have what you want. How will you look, how will you dress, how will you act, where will you live, what will you drive. Who are your friends, how will your family react to the accomplishment of this goal. This is fun. Enjoy.

Make sure you control the outcome of your goal and not need any one else to change for you to achieve what you want. Be the one in control.

Treat yourself to a special gift when you reach your goal. Don't cheat yourself. Celebrate your successess. When I quit smoking for (3) months I purchased an emerald and diamond tennis braclet to celebrate. That was 18 years ago. I love that braclet, I feel good when I wear it. It reminds me that I am successful.

We gave the definition of a goal as the end in which effort is directed. Know that your goal will require effort and work. There is always a price to pay.

After all this is done the fun begins. After you attain your goal you feel powerful, in control of your life and your self esteem will jump 200%. In pursuit of your goal who have your become?

It is my sincere hope that you received something from this series that can speed up your learning curve on goal setting and make your life what you want. Keep it simple and go easy on yourself.

This 4 day series on goal setting is a reality. Goals were made to see this project as a certainty. I wrote (4) articles, (4) press releases and (4) videos. It is done.

What to do to Achieve the goals I have set? Part (3) of four

I have set my goals so, how do I get what I want. I don’t know how to achieve my goals you say. Let me explain.

Many people are guilty of setting goals and nothing happens. To prove this point think about the New Year’s resolutions many people make and not keep or should I say not know how to keep.

In lesson two I set a goal to take an imaginary trip to Italy. Let us continue with this goal. Freely use one of your goals in its place as well. If you have not read part one and two of “Goal Setting” you will find them on my blog.

We wrote your goal to take this trip to Italy. All plans are made. The trip was a year out when planned. Let us assume it still is. The goal to take this trip to Italy is one you want to really achieve.

To anchor your trip in your mind you must get emotionally attached to it. To do this you can go online or to your favorite local bookstore or library and get books on Italy. You look at the details of your trip and you see that you are going to Rome, Venice and Florence.

You open the book to Rome and see giant pictures of the Sistine Chapel & Vatican Museums and you realize you will be there in a few months. You see pictures of the Sistine Chapel, and you are mesmerized. Your eyes do not want to move from this page. You see yourself walking down this long corridor in the Sistine Chapel looking up and barely breathing.

You finally flip the pages to land on Florence. You become immersed in the fascinating world of Michelangelo as you are guided through the Academia Gallery. You are excited by the highlight of this tour. Michelangelo's world-famous statue of David.

You have paused on these pages because you have placed yourself in your mind in the Academia Gallery this moment looking at this incredible piece of art. Michelangelo's world-famous statue of David. You wonder what more could this magnificent country have to offer. You smile and take a deep breath and move on, looking back for one last glance.

The last stop on your adventure is nicknamed queen of the Adriatic. The next group of pages highlight Venice and its roads of canals. One of the pictures from the book pull you in as you visualize yourself and your companion being rowed as musicians play the violin and softly sing a romantic Italian love song. You think what a way to live. You are feeling magnificent and peaceful yet so alive. Have I found love? Electric! You wonder why you didn’t travel sooner. It is most satisfying.

You scan pages about Sienna, the Italian Rivera and the Amalfi coast and promise yourself this will be apart of your next trip. You think I will be here in less than a year.

You are now emotionally attached to this trip. Pick up the book each day and scan the pages and visualize your trip to Italy.

Now that you have those pictures in your mind visualize yourself happily packing your clothes, driving to the airport and meeting with your small intimate tour group.

Stay focused. This is your absolute guarantee that you will take this trip. Nothing will stand in your way. The universe will open its arms and help you. Stay excited and teachable.

Look at your pictures daily and visualize your trip. As the months move forward you also work on your plan of action and do the projects as they come up.

Remember if you choose your destination and decide how you want to make this trip through life. Use goals as the catalyst to help you end up there.

Tune in for the conclusion in the series on goal setting. You may check my blog as well.

Until then. Honor yourself.

Why have Goals and why are they important to you? Part (2) of four.

The question comes to mind why should I have goals? We have been told all one has to do to have a dream come true is to have a desire and work hard. You know this is not true! Why do you know? You have done it and it doesn’t work.

You may dream of traveling abroad but if you don’t set specific goals to get there you will never go.

Once you recognize what you desire you must get clear and focused. The best way to get clarity is to put your thoughts down with pen and paper or with your computer.

You have a goal to travel internationally. You would like to take a trip to a foreign country. You have chosen Italy. One decision made and on paper.

You now write down all of the obstacles that could prevent you from taking this trip and you decide that trip insurance could cover that.

When would you like to go to Italy? You decide July a year from now. Your time line is established and on paper.

You already know you must fly but how would you like to travel? Are you traveling alone, with a companion or group?

You decide a group is better because this is your first experience traveling abroad. You decide the best way to find a group is to go online. You do this and choose one out of many.

When you contact the tour company you get more information. You get group size, the dates the group is traveling, the group leader, the trip details and the cost.

You mark your calendar with the date to request the time off work and you go to your bank online and open a savings account with the nickname Italian Trek.

You have a birth certificate so you get the specifics on how get a passport and order one. In your trip details you are told about the weather, how much cash you will need and what to pack. You are excited about your trip. You believe this will really happen.

Let’s review what you have written and accomplished for your goal to travels.

*You have decided where you want to go.
*You have brainstormed your possible challenges
*You know that you want to go next July.
*You will fly and you will travel with a small intimate group with a leader.
*You have your trip details and now know where in Italy you will travel.
*You know how much your trip is going to cost
*You have marked your calendar for requesting your time off.
*You have opened your savings account.
*You have made plans to order your passport.

You have become clear and focused, your goals are written down on paper for you to review daily. You have a time limit and this is a challenge for you because you have not traveled outside your state.

You have your step by step plan of action in place to get you to your goal. Now, you execute.

As time passes you receive your passport, you make your last payment on your trip and purchase a camera. You begin packing. It is really happening for you. Do you see how this works?

This is how you are specific, have clarity and focus on a goal.

Look for day (3) of four in the goal setting series. I will cover how to anchor your goals to you so you will get exactly what you want. Check out the series on my blog. Until next time.

Honor yourself.

What are goals and how do I make them work for me? Part (1) of four

As a baby boomer one of my goals was to find an online home based business. I was very successful in finding what I was looking for and I decided to do a (4) part series on goals and their attainment. There is so much involved in productive goal setting and getting what you want from life. Over the next few days I will discuss what goals are, how to make them and how to achieve your goals when you know what you want.

One of my mentors said less than 5% of the population has goals. I initially found this hard to believe but quickly realized that this is the reason people don’t accomplish their heart desires.

I am starting with the definition of a goal. Exactly what are goals? According to Merriam Webster a goal is the end in which effort is directed. This definition makes total sense doesn’t it? It is because of the end result that you apply effort to make things happen for you.

Some people make goals and fail miserably at attaining them. This is because there is a process to setting goals and making them a reality. Wanting, dreaming and fanaticizing are not enough to make your goals a certainty. When you are not seeking goals your are not making progress in the direction toward something you want.


What must be done to make your dreams come true?


1. Goals must be specific with clarity. An example of a nonspecific and unclear goal is, I want to travel. To be specific and clear you need to know where you are going, when are you going, how are you traveling, Some other things to consider could be who are your traveling companions, what is the cost, how much time do you have for your trip. Be clear and specific.

2. Goals have to be written down. If they are not written down you are daydreaming and fantasizing. Most people never get this part done. It is a vital part of the equation. Getting what you want from your life.

3. You must establish a time line for the accomplishment of your goals. Be honest with yourself. Will it take 90 days, 6 months a year or more? Do you have short-term goals; these could be as short as a day. Do you have long-term goals? These could be as long as five to ten years out. Some people make life goals and review them annually. If you do not have a time line to get what you want your desire may never become a reality.

4. Goals must be challenging. People are often motivated by achievement so stretch yourself, grow, reward your accomplishment and be proud of yourself.

5. Finally, to obtain your goals you must have a bold plan of action.

Working toward a worthy goal can make your life have meaning, and expand your personal development by leaps and bounds faster than any other method. It is important to note that goal setting gives purpose to all life activity. Get going with long term and short term goals. Give your life a purpose.

Look for the rest of the series. Until tomorrow.

Honor yourself.

Is Fear Of Failure Holding You Back?

This fear of failure and the fear of making a mistake are the biggest obstacles to success for adults. That fear had me in its grips for a while but no longer.
This fear of failure and the fear of making a mistake are the biggest obstacles to success for adults. Realize now that mistakes are the stepping stones to your growth and if you allow your mistakes to teach you there are many lessons in them. Mistakes are an absolute requirement for your advancement. No one escapes if they intend to grow at any level.
When you approach a task or decision there are a few choices you have.

1. You can say "I can't "I can't."
2. You can wonder what is the worse that can happen if I do this.
3. You can visualize your success with feeling, dive in and enjoy the ride with all the lessons you will learn along the way.

When you say "I can't" "I can't" you feel the fear in your solar plexus, your heart beats rapidly and you have an irresistible need to run to the bathroom. You know what I mean.
When you ponder the worse that can happen if I take this leap and you can deal with the worse you feel ok.
When you visualize the success you will have that is a direct result of your decision you feel fabulous and this feeling speaks volumes to the universe.
Bottom line is, do not allow the fear of failure to have you in its grips and control your life. Live a fearless and joyful life.
Honor yourself.
Love, tolerance and peace
