reBlog from designedfordivinedestinations.com: Designed for Divine Destinations

I found this fascinating quote today:



Ok.. so… there’s this cosmetics company that I found out about. It’s non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, and non-hormone disrupting. I totally get passionate about this sort of thing as I am working on detoxing my body as much as possible. I get excited about the fact that I can detox and not slather on more toxins with my every day makeup and cosmetics (soap, shaving cream, shower gel etc). I use up to 15 items every day.. the cosmetics industry (which is totally unregulated) says there are only “trace amounts” of toxins but consider that you use this stuff every day and it’s about 15-20 products. ….. alright you get it, I’m passionate.designedfordivinedestinations.com, Designed for Divine Destinations, Nov 2009

The Pareto Principle! 80/20 Rule

 Or the 80/20 rule!

This principle simply means that 20% of the work you do Accounts for 80% of your results!

Top income earners have also become top Procrastinators...or perhaps here is a more positive word...Discernment!  These people, when polled, knew what tasks in their business made them
money and what tasks didn't!  So they CHOSE to do the tasks that made them money first...then
gave the other tasks to someone else.

I fondly remember when I had first decided to hire an assistant...we worked out our pay structure (lucky for
me she loved candles....and I sold them) so we 'traded' time for candles!!!

She handled things like:
  • Wrapping my door prizes for my next few weeks of shows
  • Making sure my hostess packages were all put together
  • Cleaning out my demo bag...making sure catalogues were in 'new' condition
  • Organizing my tote boxes and cleaning my display items
  • Birthday/Anniversary cards
While she did that I was able to concentrate on my making money activities:
  • Hostess Coaching coffee dates
  • New consultant training
  • my Daily calls
  • Personal Invitations
  • Calendar Control
  • Putting in shows/new consultant agreements
I had never heard of the 80/20 rule years ago, but knowing it now...I certainly lived it and my paycheck was
proof of that!

So decide today & everyday what are your money making activities....do those activities FIRST before you
check your emails, go on FB, read other people's blogs, twitter...etc....and I guarantee that you will start getting the results you want!!!

Doing What We Love!

 We all need reminders as to why we are doing what we are doing!??

Sometimes I think we get pulled in by circumstances...those being the every day living to living stuff...the necessities of life...uh like food, clothing, bills etc....so we "settle" for a job so that we can pay those things, and perhaps put off what we really like to do!

Perhaps though, we can do just more than 'settle'.

What is it that YOU love to do? and do well?

Is it talking and communicating to people? Singing? Writing? Scrapbooking? We all have talents or "hobbies" that we enjoy...and I truly believe that when you know what it is that you truly love...that is what you should be doing!  The money will come from it when you Value what is is that you love!

I was listening to a great call with a fella named Henry Gold, who had made his thousands, and then found himself broke again.  He got a job at 7-11 to pay for his livin' but he never gave up on his dream...to make a significant income online; in fact, he worked his 'hobby' whenever he could.  He finally did his 'dream' and never gave UP! Today he has taught so many people in what they love to do.

What a great story and motivation this is.....not to give up...even when people say "it can't be done" "why are you dreaming so big? just think smaller"....mmmm....

I believe that thinking Small does not serve You or the world!  Think of all the people who had great big dreams....Oprah, Bill Gates, Ghandi...they did not think small...they brought about great things by thinking bigger than themselves.

Don't sell yourself short either...think about what you love to do (or perhaps it was something that brought you joy when you were younger...) and start Doing what You Love!
