Dear Archive Visitor, Our youngest daughter, Zo‘, is in so many extra curricular activities that it's almost funny. I've been amazed at her ability to juggle her schedule and stay on top of all her homework and activities. That's why it nearly broke my heart to see how upset she was yesterday at her volleyball game. She wasn't at the volleyball practice the day before the game because she needed to show up for cross country and drumline. Apparently her volleyball coach decided to punish her by not playing her in this week's game. Normally that wouldn't have bothered her much at all, but this week a good number of students from her school showed up to watch the game. She was so embarrassed that she was sitting on the bench the whole time, when the "entire school" (Zo‘'s words) was there to watch (personally I think there must have been a boy somewhere in that "entire school" that she didn't want seeing her sitting on the bench). Ah, what do you tell your child or a friend in that kind of situation? It's tough to forget what other people might be thinking, to rise up the next moment or the next day and give oneself a fresh start. In this week's article I'll be talking about ways to change certain habits and give yourself a fresh start in your business. Ultimately we have to train ourselves to care more about what we know than what other people think!

Giving Yourself a Fresh Start By Tammy Stanley Yesterday morning I attended the Fresh Start Women's Foundation breakfast fundraiser in Phoenix. I heard amazing testimonials from women who had found a way to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives through the workshops and assistance at the Fresh Start Foundation. That got me thinking that often what you need in your sales business is a fresh start, but it isn't always easy to achieve on your own. Oftentimes you need assistance. I'm sure I could come up with 12 things you need to do to give yourself a fresh start in business, but I refuse to do that. Why? Because I personally get either bored, overwhelmed, or discouraged when I see long lists of all the things I "should" be doing to make my business better. After considerable thought I've decided that the best way I can assist you in giving your business a fresh start is to share with you one phrase that can actually impact your business and your life overnight. Yeah right! As if one little phrase can change a business. All right. I admit that the phrase won't change your business but implementing the advice within will. Now before I reveal those three words, have some fun and take a guess what the three words are. Do it now. Did you take a guess when I first asked you or when I told you to do it now? If you waited until I said, "Do it now," you're probably beginning to understand why I think those are such powerful words. The more you begin telling yourself, "Do it now," as opposed to "Do that later when..." the more you will accomplish and achieve. If you adopt this one habit of doing what you think of doing now, it will amaze you how much and how quickly your business improves. The way you give yourself a fresh start in business or in life is to do something that you haven't been doing. Give yourself a fresh start. Do it now. You accomplish that by doing right now something that you've been putting off. Do it now. When you come back to finish reading this newsletter, you'll notice how much better you feel. When you do what you need to do now, all the thoughts of what you have to do later aren't there to weigh you down. You can't imagine how freeing that is unless you're already in the habit of doing it now. You'll even discover that you have time to do more things that you want to do. Think about the last time you went on vacation. Chances are that you had a zillion things you had to get done the day before leaving. How did you get them all done in one day? Whatever was on your list, you did it now. You didn't wait for a better time. You just did it and then checked it off your list. Well, when you give yourself a fresh start today, which of course you can do each and every day, you don't need to make a list. I said it already but I'll say it again, give yourself a fresh start by doing whatever you've been meaning to do. And do it now! WANT TO SEE MORE ARTICLES LIKE THIS ONE?
