Using Mental Garlic to Defeat the Discouragement Vampire
Discouragement is the biggest reason why so many new entrepreneurs quit just before they reach their full potential. From experience, I have felt this same life-sucking discouragement vampire biting at me several times in my entrepreneurial ventures. Curiosity causes use to have this amazing survival instinct to question everything and negative thoughts starting racing thorough your head as you wonder "Why am I putting so much effort into reaching my goals but I'm yet see any results?" We have to understand that discouragement comes from the feeling of dissatisfaction.
Sometimes You Want To Quit
When faced negative circumstances, many people simply give up. They let the disappointment and discouragement from the experience(s) take over and resign them to failure. Instead of looking ahead, they wallow in an endless sea of negative thought and negative emotions. Here's how to overcome your "bad times".

The atmosphere in the organization is that of sheer terror and dissatisfaction, not because of a near miss deadline, but because a supervisor has an overly authoritative approach to leading his team, or department. Such a scenario is not as far-fetched as it may seem. In many organizations, an over zealous (but well meaning) supervisor or manager may exercise severe leadership tactics in order to create the most successful team possible. Unfortunately, for the employees, such a leadership leads to dissatisfaction to the organization and later, a loss of talent for the organization as dissatisfied employees begin to leave. In this edition of Astronology, The How to Deal trilogy will discuss difficult managers.

Write Your Own Story
I’ve spoken and written about leaving a legacy; what we as individuals do for the betterment of more than simply ourselves. However, what we all must realize is that a legacy is built everyday. It is built in the choices and moments that seem to have no consequence, the moments that are filled with tedious details, questioning and bouts with the reins of persistence as we do all we can to stay on track. A legacy is more than a trust fund or a inheritance, a summer house, or even a college endowment. Your legacy is the story of your everyday. What you do with the hours, minutes and seconds that you own, because they are your own.

No - Your Number 1 Tool to Succeed
Did you know that the word NO is the most important word in the English language for people who are determined to succeed? We did several workshops on living your natural genius for larger corporations over the past few years. Every participant was asked for his or her opinion of the words YES and NO.

This is a very common perception, but does it really represent the truth? If you ask me, NO it does not. The ability to say NO to discouragement, distraction and other negative influences is essential for being successful, especially for smart people.

To become a world-class leader, an executive must have at least some appreciation and respect for the more ethereal aspects of leadership, such as morale, cohesion and esprit de corps.

This article provides key distinctions between these concepts and helps to guide a leader in monitoring them.
Don’t Allow the D’s in Your Life to Defeat You
Norman Vincent Peale, author of The Power of Positive Thinking is one of my all-time favourite persons. While preparing to write my usual Monday Rx blog post, I picked up the Miniature Edition of his book and it opened at the chapter “I Don’t Believe in Defeat”. What serendipity! That’s exactly what I was going to write about. For starters, here’s a quote from the chapter: “If you are thinking thoughts of defeat, I urge you to rid yourself of such thoughts, for as you think defeat you tend to get it. Adopt the “I don’t believe in defeat” attitude.”
