Choose to Breakthrough

Most people want one. They pray, wish and hope for one. They want a miracle of some kind to zap them. They think maybe somebody else will create the opening for it to happen. They’re hoping one day they’ll wake up with a “lightening bolt moment” and something will be different. People are looking for a breakthrough.

The definition of breakthrough: a significant and dramatic overcoming of a perceived obstacle, allowing the completion of a process.

Hey, I’m usually looking for one myself in some area of my life. Is it bad or lame to want a breakthrough? Not at all. It is usually a sign that you are tired of your current circumstances in one or more areas of your life. You want to experience different feelings and hard-core results. Show me the money!

It’s usually at the point in which you are totally ticked off at a situation that you decide that it’s time to do something different. Or you’ve been depressed, over weight, sick, broke or bored for waaaaaaaay too long. Then you say, “That’s it! Something has to change!” Some of you know what needs to happen and you take immediate action to correct your situation. Some of you get stuck because you want the breakthrough but don’t know what to do next.

It’s critical to do something different immediately. A good place to start is to clarify, on paper, the exact new result you want. Decide that things are going to change, beginning in this moment, even if you don’t know how. Then tell someone. A friend, mate, family, coach…whoever. Just give voice to it. Heck, shouting it aloud outside would be good too!

Next, do something you’re not in the habit of doing regarding the issue. Maybe you’ve thought of a couple of solutions prior to this but never took action on them. Take the darn action right now! If a class, book, mentor, coach or retreat calls out to you, commit and buy it/do it! Say no to someone or something that has not been serving you.

Sure, you can come up with the classic reasons to say no:
1. Not enough time.
2. Now is not the right time.
3. Not enough money.
4. I can’t get time away from work, kids, or mate.
5. My mate won’t let me.
6. I don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings.
7. How do I know this will really help me?

Pulleeeeze! Do you know how many times you talk yourself out of stuff that is good for you? TOO MANY! If you want a breakthrough you have to choose to do something different. You have to create the breakthrough. You’re simply breaking a cycle. Dropping a habit/s. How do you create a new habit? Step by step. You have to keep choosing to do the new thing, think a new thought, and seek counsel from someone other than your little (or BIG) internal Gremlin.
Choose to have your breakthrough. Do not wait another minute longer. Do not wait for someone else to give you permission. Take your life into a higher gear right now. You are sooo worth it!

Re: Do bigger monitors save time? - Hi Kevin, Thanks for the welcome! I would agree that two 17's would work well but really, any size would work. I'd be careful in going after the larger monitors that are traditional heights but are really wide, unless you have the desk space for it. Choose your monitors carefully as well to ensure that you try to find ones that have a small frame outside of the actual monitor screen. That way, when you put them together, the screens look a little more uniform. Last tip for either multiple monitors or one large one... Speed your mouse motion up. If you don't, you'll spend forever scrolling from one screen to another or across a larger screen. It'll take a bit to get used to at first but after a few days, using a mouse with regular motion will seem painstakingly slow!

But if choosing monitors with smaller frames outside of the actual screen space is important when using 2 monitors...then wouldn't using a laptop and a secondary monitor be a bad idea? And are there any current monitor brands and models you would recommend? For instance, for the same price, should someone go for a slightly larger screen or a smaller one with Dell's "Ultrasharp" feature?
How To Add A Paypal Button To Blogger - Hi Brendan, The blog is looking good. If possible, try to post something on it every day. You can vary the length of the posts, just something short when time is tight. There are two parts to getting the Paypal code on your site. First is getting the Paypal code! Second is getting it on your site! HOW TO GET YOUR PAYPAL CODE 1. Log in to Paypal 2. Click Merchant Services 3. Find the Key Features box on the right and click Donations. 4. Donations Page 1: Fill in the fields with your Donation name and a ref no. (the latter is not necessary). Choose a "Donate" button - I suggest the one with the pic of the credit cards beneath. It is up to you whether you "encrypt" or not. As you do not have a website there is no need to go to "Donations Page 2" for "more options", so you can just click "Create Button Now". 5. On the new page, click "Select All" for the "HTML Code for Websites" box and copy and paste the code to your blog. HOW TO GET YOUR PAYPAL DONATION BUTTON ON BLOGGER 1. Go to your Blogger.com dashboard. 2. Click the "Layout" tab. 3. Click "Add A Gadget" 4. Scroll down to HTML/JavaScript and click the + sign. 5. A small screen will pop up and you can PASTE your Paypal Donation Button code there and add a title if you wish. 6. Click SAVE on the small screen. 7. Now, back on the main screen you can preview and then SAVE. If all has gone well, you should now have a Paypal Donation button on your blog. === Best wishes, David H
Avoid Franchise Mistakes - I Came across these 7 tips for helping you avoid costly mistakes when buying a franchise & thought they would be helpful... It takes a lot of money to build a business, and you certainly don't want to waste any. Check this list of 7 costly mistakes to avoid. 1. Letting emotions rule. Falling in love with a franchise concept is a common mistake. Don't let your emotions guide your decisions. Use your head, do your due diligence and take the time to thoroughly investigate the franchisor's offering. 2. No professional team. Don't try to do your own financials, contract reviews, or negotiating. The cost of professional franchise attorneys, accountants, and advisors is money well spent. 3. Too little cash. Lack of capital is the number one reason franchisees fail. Item 7 in the UFOC will tell you how much money you'll need with a low and high range. Be smart-go with the high range. Then ask current franchisees if the numbers are high enough. 4. Penny wise and pound foolish. Choosing one franchise over another because the initial franchisee fees are lower is shortsighted. It assumes that all franchises are alike and nothing could be further from the truth. Choose the franchise with the proven concept and strongest track record. 5. Too much help. Payroll is the biggest part of overhead for most franchise businesses. New franchisees often hire too many people or pay too much in wages. A good franchisor will provide a good staffing plan. Stick to the plan. 6. No comparison. Never buy expensive equipment, supplies or inventory without shopping around first. Even if your franchisor offers group purchasing, do your own research, shop as many vendors as you can, consider aftermarket suppliers, and weigh different financing options (loans or leases). 7. Marketing blunders. As a new business owner, you're going to be targeted by every ad salesperson around. Ignore them. Follow your franchisor's marketing plan to the letter to avoid wasting thousands.
