“I’m a kid in the candy store,” says Hefner. “I dreamed impossible dreams. And the dreams turned out beyond anything I could possibly imagine.”
Lesson #3: Do Not Let Your Business Become Static
“Keep moving all the time,” says Ramsay. “That’s the exciting thing about cooking in this country: we are seasonal, so every three months there’s a move. We’re moving from spring into summer and suddenly the food becomes a lot lighter.”

Lesson #4: Use Innovation To Break Through Your Limitations
“We are used to things improving every year; we are used to having a better cell phone next year than this year; a better lap top,” says Musk. “We are even used to some basic things, like we expect more from your car in next year’s model than last year’s model. But this is not the case in space; reliability and cost - those are the fundamental parameters of transportation - have not improved.”
Lesson #4: Give Your Business a Little Brand Aid

We live in a knowledge-powered economy and if we're not continually upgrading our capabilities we become obsolete!. The good news is, the educational choices we make at eighteen don't need to be hard and fast choices we're stuck with for a lifetime. We now can choose to look at lifelong learning as the homework assignment that never goes away. Or, we can choose to look at it as an essential strategy for living long and living well!. How are you upgrading your knowledge and abilities? There is always more to learn and we must all strive to master more or new skills.

Creative Ideas For Daily Life In A Home Based Business
There are so many benefits to working from home, including setting your own schedule, growing at your own pace, and even being able to work in your pajamas, but once you settle into the routine and the work from home bloom comes off the rose, you may find it hard to stay focused and even have difficulty getting up and getting to work in the morning. If that's your situation, or if you're considering a work from home business opportunity, take a look at some creative ideas to mix things up a bit in your home based business.
Right Now
I often hear the past determines who you are and the future goals we set for ourselves determine what actions we take right now. It has nothing to do with past or future. It all has to do with 'right now'.
The Truth and Lies of Owning Your Own Business

Take Care of Yourself - Take Care of Your Business
Everyone knows how important it is to take care of you while building a business. It’s almost become a cliché – the expression coined by financial expert David Bach, “pay yourself first”, has come to represent across all disciplines, the notion of taking care of number one before turning your focus to the rest of a very needing world.

Inundated in Intention
It is easy to find yourself drowning in intentions but time does not have to be your enemy. Fulfilling your commitments is not rocket science. Follow these simple steps and you will find that it will be a lot less daunting to fulfill all of your intentions.

Growing Your Business in a Difficult Economy
Admiral James Stockdale was the highest ranking American POW during the Vietnam War. He was held for more than 8 years and after his release wrote a book Love and War that described how he was able to not just survive the ordeal but actually thrive when many others didn’t. The story of his absolute confidence that he would survive coupled with his ability to confront the brutal facts of his current reality came to be known as the “Stockdale Paradox”. Many years later Jim Collins wrote his business masterpiece Good to Great and demonstrated how many companies used the “Stockdale Paradox” to survive and thrive in tough times while many of their competitors fell by the wayside or disappeared completely.

Resolution Rule #1
Of the 40-45% of American adults who make resolutions each year, most resolve to improve their lifestyle. However, one quarter of those resolutions fall by the wayside within one week and less than 50% last six months. The people who make these resolutions truly want to live better, yet they fall far short of living a healthier, wealthier life. It is easy to find a list of pointers on how to keep a resolution, but these lists are missing, or downplay the most important ingredient you need to keep your resolution. The experts tell you to set realistic goals, plan for obstacles, etc. These guidelines appeal to your rational brain. Human beings are not rational. We are emotional. If you want to accomplish anything important you must understand the emotions involved.

This is the time of year when our thoughts turn to resolutions and goal setting for the year ahead. Everyone starts out a new year with great intentions, and usually by the end of January most of them have fallen by the wayside.
