Inspiration: “The basic rule of free enterprise: you must give in order to get.” Scott Alexander
Be: (positive confession) I Am Enterprising.
Do: (first steps) Today, don’t think for a moment you can violate this rule and be successful. To obtain anything of value requires that we give of one or more of the following: our time, our talent, or our finances. The degree of excellence/abundance that we decide to sow these things into the fields of our life, determines the reward we will reap in accordance. In other words, if you want a big crop plant a lot of seed. Therefore, work backwards. Choose the degree of increase you want then act at the level necessary to achieve it.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I understand what is required to produce the results I want and give sufficient effort/investment I’ll get what I desire.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!

Inspiration: “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” Author Unknown
Be: (positive confession) I Am Momentous.
Do: (first steps) Today, focus on quality not quantity. What is the sense of saying “I was there” when you aren’t really there? You can make the most of your moment(s) by 1) Getting in touch with the dreamer inside of you and mentally developing your vision for what you are looking to accomplish (think BIG). 2) Practicing the fundamental aspects of your initiative over and over again until you have them down perfectly (be exceptional in the LITTLE things). 3) Preparing for what you want to happen (if you are earnestly praying for rain then you need to bring an umbrella).
Have: (making dreams reality) As I make steady investments aimed at fulfilling the dreams in my heart I’ll have a clearer picture of the important contributions I bring to those around me.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!

Inspiration: “Jesus picked up twelve men from the bottom ranks of business and forged them into an organization that conquered the world.” Bruce Barton, Former U.S. Congressman
Be: (positive confession) I Am Picked Out For Greatness.
Do: (first steps) Today, fully grasp the concept that where you begin has absolutely nothing to do with how successful you can be. Take your eyes and ears off of all the things “they” say you can’t do and perceive that God has his finger on you and has selected you to do great things.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I realize that I have been picked out from amongst my peers, my family, and my community and willingly accept the responsibility of this favor on my life I will have an even greater after effect on the lives of those near me.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!

Inspiration: “When you can do the common things of life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.” George Washington Carver
Be: (positive confession) I Am a Commander.
Do: (first steps) Today, understand that it is the little things that really matter. Too often people attempt to do the spectacular when all greatness really required was to do the ordinary, very well. Practice the basics of your craft, over and over again ingraining within the best way to perform them. Train yourself to enjoy extracting the excellent nuances of the average and realize that you can never review the fundamentals too much.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I go about the “mundane” aspects of life, love, and business in a more passionate way I gain the command of myself and the admiration of those that appreciate excellence.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!

Inspiration: “Anyone can be an ACE: Attitude + Commitment= Excellence.” Robert Inman
Be: (positive confession) I Am an Ace.
Do: (first steps) Today, check yourself at the door. 1) Have and further develop the attitude of a winner. What is that you ask? It’s positive, relentless, and seeks to be the very best. 2) Raise your level of commitment. You must believe in what you do and be willing to make necessary sacrifices to produce something worthwhile.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I apply the ACE formula I have the satisfaction of a life filled with excellence in both effort and results.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!

Inspiration: “Learn early in life that success isn’t reaching the top, success is how high you bounce when you hit the bottom.” General George S. Patton
Be: (positive confession) I Am a Bouncer.
Do: (first steps) Today, be like the Super Ball. This tiny ball invented by Norman Stingley and produced by Wham-O Manufacturing Co. in 1965, was made of rubber compressed at over 3,500 pounds per square inch. If slammed against the ground it could rebound over a three story building. That is something we all need; to see the pressure we are under as something, not meant to squeeze the life out of us but to compress into us all the knowledge and resiliency needed to bounce right into our destiny.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I stop wishing for a life without pressure and start using the stresses I am under to make me more durable I’ll get my bounce back.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!

Be: (positive confession) I Am Staying.
Do: (first steps) Today, don’t run away from your problems. Although we can’t ignore the existence of circumstances [...]

Inspiration: “Setting a goal is not the main thing. It is deciding how you will go about achieving it and staying with that plan.” Tom Landry, former NFL Coach.
Be: (positive confession) I Am Staying.
Do: (first steps) Today, don’t run away from your problems. Although we can’t ignore the existence of circumstances we are faced with daily we can choose to rise above them. Part of rising above difficulties is continuing in the plans (provided well thought out plans were made with contingency for adjustments), values, and principles that we predetermined (before the circumstances arrived) would spur us to victory. Keep in mind that “the circumstances” have nothing to do with the working of proven principles. Think about it, regardless of whether the cost of gas is $1 a gallon or $5, gravity is still pulling things toward the center of the earth, an object in motion will stay in motion, E still equals MC squared, and you will reap what you sow!
Have: (making dreams reality) As I stay in the fight, stay on track, and stay the course I will have the staying power to achieve my goals.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!
If your plan and principles are solid you will never have to fear staying the course. Click here to see how “Shake Off The Snake”, the inspiring book by Dr A.J. Rubano is helping people do just that!
The Thought For The Day: Sold Out
Friday, June 5, 2009
Inspiration: “Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, the providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues [...]

Inspiration: “Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, the providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would come his way.” William Hutchinson Murray, Scottish Mountain Climber
Be: (positive confession) I Am Sold Out.
Do: (first steps) Today, commit to a path and follow it. Remember that greatness never happens as a result of swaying back and forth between two opinions. As a matter of fact, more often than not, poor decisions made boldly work out better than good ideas performed half heartedly.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I dedicate my resources and mindset 100% to a particular course of action, removing all hesitancy, I cause the wheels of favor to turn in my direction.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!
The Thought For The Day: Home Builder
Thursday, June 4, 2009
Inspiration: “The great difference between those who succeed and those who fail does not consist in the amount of work done by each but in the amount of intelligent work. Many of those who fail do enough to achieve grand success but they labor haphazardly at whatever they are assigned, building up [...]

Inspiration: “The great difference between those who succeed and those who fail does not consist in the amount of work done by each but in the amount of intelligent work. Many of those who fail do enough to achieve grand success but they labor haphazardly at whatever they are assigned, building up with one hand while tearing down with the other.” Og Mandino
Be: (positive confession) I Am a Home Builder.
Do: (first steps) Today, evaluate your efforts. Are you expending great amounts of energy to produce and not seeing results? Whether raising healthy children or raising capital for a business venture all your efforts must be synergistic. They have to work together. Be especially mindful of how you communicate; and monitor how well what you say out of your mouth and through your body language coordinate.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I improve the intelligence level of my labors I will find that I am building stronger, more lasting relationships, networks, and supports; all the things that help turn a house into a home.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!
The Thought For The Day: No-brainer
Wednesday, June 3, 2009
Inspiration: “Success depends on getting good at saying no without feeling guilty. You cannot get ahead with your own goals if you are always saying yes to someone else’s projects. You can only get ahead with your desired lifestyle if you are focused on the things that will produce that lifestyle.” Jack [...]

Inspiration: “Success depends on getting good at saying no without feeling guilty. You cannot get ahead with your own goals if you are always saying yes to someone else’s projects. You can only get ahead with your desired lifestyle if you are focused on the things that will produce that lifestyle.” Jack Canfield, author, Chicken Soup for the Soul
Be: (positive confession) I Am a No-brainer.
Do: (first steps) Today, say “No” to the things that do not align with your primary purpose and don’t feel bad about it. In doing so make your “no” assertive, don’t follow it up with weak excuses or confuse assertiveness with anger or aggression. Remember saying “yes” when you really want to say “no” leads to resentment and also costs you time and energy. Be simple and direct and look the person in the eye. Practice by saying “no” to the sales call that interrupts your dinner or the store clerk who wants your phone number.
Have: (making dreams reality) As I learn to say no to those things which are not priorities in my life I will have more time and energy for the things I want and need to say “Yes” to.
Be, Do, and Have the best day of your life! God Bless You!
Don’t be afraid to say “No”: afraid to lose your friends, fearful of being thought of in a poor light, or worried that “they” won’t call on you again. “Shake off” the mindset of being a people pleaser and focus on being a God pleaser and you can hold your head up high as you act on your convictions.
