Guest post by: Lisa Phillips

Article Overview: Try following this routine every day or choose a few ideas to begin with? NO EXCUSES - You can find the time and remember, you are worth it!

A simple routine for change

1) When you wake in the morning, tell yourself that you are going to have a fabulous day.

2) Do your affirmation statements while you are in the shower or brushing your teeth. You can even laminate them and put them up in your shower.

3) If you walk or get public transport to work, repeat your affirmations or read your goals.

4) Set up a reminder in your calender to say 3 nice things about yourself each day.

5) Everytime you look in the mirror- praise yourself!

6)Give a compliment each day to someone new.

7) Meditate or take some time out to relax for 5 minutes

8) Practise saying No - when you would normally say YES.

9) Do something nice for yourself each day. Something which makes you happy.

10) Before you go to bed, say 10 things you are grateful for.

This may look like a lot but once you get into the habit, you should easily be able to fit these things into your day. Remember not to beat yourself up if you don't manage it - just do the best you can.

Excellent Post - This is a great idea, where you visualize and think just like your role-model. If you do it enough, it is truly amazing how well you can change your thinking pattern to align with theirs. A rich, powerful and yet simple tool. Thanks for sharing it to the wider group. Regards
Re: Starbucks: Licensing vs Joint-Venture - Its "growing pains" on a successful franchise level. If you think about it, could anyone have actually ever predicted Starbuck's most recent outcome? They are now struggling to do something they did so well all along, simply change, or at least alter what direction they were headed. No matter what your idea of where your business should be is, for the future, outside determining factors will most certainly change - its your ability to change and follow the natural business course (if there is one) that then becomes significant. Simply, have a good idea of what it is you want to be in business, but don't force out change along the way. Adapt to it, or at least try and learn to adapt to the change.

Re: What can You Learn from a Jobless and Homeless Woman? - [quote="mbrand2222":3fggv9uf]Alan, I definitely agree that a person needs all of those things. I think for me, it was the positive attitude that was the most important. If I woke up with a "defeated" attitude, I knew I had to do something to snap me out of it quickly. Either read a few chapters from a Zig Ziglar book or the Bible. I'm sure everyone has their own little routine.[/quote:3fggv9uf] Hi Mary, That's a great routine. I think for me, I know what I want so much so that I'm not going to let anyone get me down. I try to stay positive in every situation, business related or not. It helps with life in general. Nothing good can ever come from being negative all the time. I've seen what it can do, and it's ugly. Also, I think a positive outlook provides opportunities that otherwise would go unnoticed if a person is negative about a situation. You'd be surprised how more open-minded one can be and be provided with "light bulb" ideas in the worst of times. I've been there.
A regular employee or a contracted employee? - Thank you Louis, Also in Japan, an employee is an employee. In my opinion, contracted employees don’t receive enough training. And they are often engaged in routine chores. Which factors should we choose about hiring regular or contracted employees? I choose contracted employees if I hire someone engaged in routine chores. On the other hand, I choose regular employees if I hire someone engaged in important duties. One of the most important factors especially for an entrepreneur is wages, too. What do you think?
