Count down to 2015

Good morning. We had a wonderful vacation in the Poconos Mountains over the Thanksgiving week spending time with family out on the slopes.
 We trust that everyone is well and not allowing the holiday season to stress you out too much.  We say that because we tend to wait until the last minute and purchase gifts.  The holiday comes every year at the same time and on the same day, yet the meaning of it is lost and does not make us want to run out and spend thousands of dollars on things that people often don't want or need.  Good luck for all of you.  

This post is about focus.  Big surprise, we want you to maintain the same focus that you have had since January 2014 began.  It takes major discipline to do this at this time of the year.  It is necessary because it is easy to stop doing the things that made you successful and prosperous up to this point.  It is also easy to get lazy when it is holiday season and most people focus on the fantasy side of life. 

As you roll into 2015 in a few weeks you want to have a good momentum of discipline.  Your disciplines are the things that you do daily, weekly, monthly and year after year.  We love listening to Jim Rohn, he was such a wise teacher of philosophy.  Your philosophy is the way you think about things, which creates the way you feel about things, which creates the actions you will or will not take.  This is the time of year when you must push the hardest to keep striving towards your dreams, goals, and objectives. 

If you have not gotten a mentor yet, what are you waiting for?  Michael Jordan, Mohammed Ali, Jim Rohn, and anyone who has achieved anything great all had mentors.  The athletes call them coaches.  Those who are business leaders have mentors and focus groups.   http://michaelhyatt.com/five-ways-to-find-a-mentor.html

You could speak with your manager or your companies top executive that you have access to.  They may gladly mentor you.  You could ask a local business leader that you know.  You could also join a network marketing company that has a small cost to join. Most have excellent mentor ship and training programs that you can attend for as little as $5-$25 weekly, MikeHumes.com is available in multiple states and DarnellSelf.com is another awesome leader available globally.    If you never ask you will never know where you can go. 

Give yourself time.  Don't lose faith if you haven't reached all of your goals for the year.  If you have reached one you are successful.  We love checking off our list of achievements, but it is a process.  You must do the things that you can do and not focus on those things you can't do right now. Always start where you are, not where you think you should be.  Stay encouraged.  Continue to develop yourself personally and professionally.  Today create a list of those things that you have accomplished this year.  Begin to start writing down the goals and objectives that you have for 2015. 

Those people you have on your holiday shopping list that you may be stressed about how much money you need to spend for their gifts,consider what's most important.  Is making them smile at the gift you gave them worth it or should you spend a little less and invest in your future wealth?  Success or failure are two opposite ends of the spectrum.  Failure is a few errors in judgement repeated over time.  Success is a few simple disciplines repeated over the same amount of time.  It really is that simple.  Take action today, good luck. 

P.S. If you have time visit the  cohdc.org     and adopt a family for the holidays for as little as $25.  This is the real reason for this season and the spirit of giving.  Thanks

To your success,
D.S. Woodard

How to Press Through the Toughest Season

Welcome 2019 winter season. This image is what we must endure for the next part of our journey.  To be successful we can not have fear. We must learn some new things and use new strategies. We must start to keep track of where we are daily. This is a great task. I keep track of what happens in my life most days. The challenge is as you are living your life it's easy to get distracted.  I started 2019 on day one making note of daily financials incoming and outgoing, and goals and things that I had done or accomplished. It was only a few days in that I noticed that I missed a day here and then I missed a day there on keeping track. This month I'm promoting my   journal that has 366 quotes  and space for you to journal your thoughts and ideas. It will help. The link is alive, but you can get it at  DSWoodard365amazon . Focusing daily on what we are actually accomplishing and those things that are getting left undone will help us grow. Watch this...

Be Happy Today Because You Can

Good afternoon,  The joy felt today is enormous. I love how things keep appearing to show you where you are in the universe or how aligned you are with your goals, ideas, or purpose. Learning to read between the lines is such a gift. I read very well, and I speak many languages. Happy is my all- time favorite song. I love Pharrell's Curtis Mayfield smooth sounding voice and his infectious simplistic drum beat and top that off with the fun joy-filled music video and this is me and the way I feel about life.  I love this song and the video is perfect. Thank you, Pharrell.  I said this because this is the way to get to what it is that is wanted in your life. You must feel this way genuinely. It takes time and it takes practice. Life gives us exactly what we are, not what we want.  "Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one."
