Monday Morning Boost: Who Are Your Life Beacons?

Monday Morning Boost: Who Are Your Life Beacons?

Comments 0 Comment

What are the beacons in your life??? To start with, let’s simply understand a beacon is a “light or other visible object serving as a signal, warning, or guide.” The mighty lighthouses providing guidance for ships at sea are beacons. A buoy floating in water indicating the presence of underwater hazards is a beacon. Airport lights guiding pilots to a safe landing are beacons. There are also those people we would call “Life Beacons.” Life Beacons are those people we…

Monday Morning Boost: “People buy from people they…”

When it comes to building a business, the answer is our network. When it comes to growing sales, the answer is our network. When it comes to leading a team, the answer is our network. Whether created through in-person relationship building or gained through marketing and sales efforts, our network is vital to every aspect of creating and maintaining a successful and effective business. Unfortunately, too often we make the erroneous assumption if a person is “in our network” then they…

Monday Morning Boost: Not a Natural? Neither Was I

Monday Morning Boost: Not a Natural? Neither Was I

Comments 0 Comment

Sharing our voice, writing, speaking, or singing, may not be a natural thing for you. It’s not for me either. At one point, walking, talking and eating weren’t natural either. But I learned just like you did. By doing. We can learn and develop anything we want to. Even the most difficult tasks or skills can be learned and developed. When we focus our efforts, clarify our message, and share our story we can create a lasting impact. I can’t…

Review the “Journey of Success” graphic and then answer the following questions in relation to a significant challenge in your life or area of focus. In connection to your challenge or focus, do you feel you are mostly in the “Normal World” or in “Struggles & Growth”? Of the stages listed, what stage do you feel you are at now?

Monday Morning Boost: Building A Business One Day At A Time

Monday Morning Boost: Building A Business One Day At A Time

Comments 0 Comment

Every journey we take is accomplished one day at a time. Difficult journeys; normal journeys. Hard journeys; easy journeys. “One Day At A Time,” no matter the journey, creates significant power on the very first day of a journey. One day at a time is the salvation of daily life. We don’t have to conquer the mountain in one day, nor must we eat the elephant in just one bite. I first learned the power of “One Day At A…

Monday Morning Boost: Out With The Old Story…

Comments 0 Comment

As the old adage goes… “Out with the old, in with the new!” But what is “the old”? Old is anything that clutters up life or confuses our direction in life. This could literally be the old stuff you no longer use, that pile in the closet you dread going through, that stack of papers on the desk you need to file, or the gazillion of boxes of junk filling up the garage. Or it could be old thinking, old…

Monday Moring Boost: My Greatest Fear…

I have been granted the gift of life. My heart that tried to stop working daily for seven weeks has been repaired and is functioning well. My lungs that did stop working when a blood clot showed up are healing as my blood flows as it should. My greatest fear is that I will forget this miraculous gift. History is full of proof, from individuals to complete civilizations, we are quick to forget such miraculous experiences. The gift of life…

Monday Morning Boost: An Iraqi Shepherd at Christmas

Monday Morning Boost: An Iraqi Shepherd at Christmas

Comments 0 Comment

The Journey of the Heart continues as I share once again the story of the Christmas I spent in Iraq. My Christmas in Iraq was cold and scary, warm and sacred. Few experiences have touched my heart as deeply as that Christmas (though this Christmas is right up there with reaching deep into my heart!). As we remember those serving in harm’s way around the world, and as you remember your own loved ones who are unable to be home for Christmas,…

Monday Morning Boost: Christmas With A New Heart Is Magical!

Comments 0 Comment

The excitement, wonder, and fun of Christmas are magical! I love decorating the tree, wrapping presents, and singing carols. I love letters to Santa and hints from children. I love the anticipation on Christmas Eve and the enthusiasm on Christmas morning. I love how my new heart has me feeling like a kid again!  Family traditions are wonderful parts of the magic. We love counting down the days with tiny chocolate pieces, Santa slowly dropping down a wooden chimney, and…

The heart is very fragile. The lungs are very fragile. Life as a whole is very fragile. Over the last two weeks, I’ve experienced just how very fragile… “very fragile” can be. Here is the sixty second version… The surgery at Intermountain Medical Center in Murray went well and I spent most of a week recovering in the hospital. I enjoyed a night and a day at home. Then I stopped breathing. Four times in a couple of hours, the…
